#As I said in the edit comments, from what I remember of when the images were originally added, they were ''not'' official art -- they were fanedited images made in the style of the CoM sprites. I've contacted the admins to get verification on this -- it's possible that I've misremembered, or that consensus has changed over the years. Hell, it's possible the fansprites have already been weeded out.

#For Union X: you are misunderstanding what those headers are for. The headers are to illustrate the period in the timeline, not the specific game something appears in -- this is why we still use "Chain of Memories" in synopsis headers, not "Re:Chain of Memories". As far as the categories, the edit change window just showed the category getting deleted, it didn't show that there was already a category there, so that's my mistake.

#"Cold, ruthless, and uncaring" is the polar opposite of "slapping someone in a fit of rage". So, either you miscaptioned the image, or it doesn't fit the section. Per fair use, we should avoid using images that don't clearly complement the text -- so if you want to use that image, you need to clearly justify ''that specific image'' within the text, not used as decoration for the sake of having images). See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images this] for a standard and more thorough guideline for what fair use allows us to do. This is also part of why the admins have been busting your balls about captions -- in order to stay kosher, we need to ''rigorously'' justify the use of the image. We're necessarily going to be more anal about these kind of things than a gaming magazine or an approved PR site specifically because we don't want to have to pay licensing fees for every single image we use.

#"you did not archive the pic in Larxene's gallery" -- ''we're not supposed to''. We should not be putting every single image we can find that includes a character in the galleries. That's a direct violation of Fair Use, which is what allows us to use the images in the first place. Images should only be in galleries if they illustrate a specific, distinct, and ''necessary'' image of a topic (and to be frank, should be at least a little lower quality than the official image, if possible). We have a legal ''obligation'' to reduce the number of images we use as much as we can possibly justify. I have ''personally talked'' to SE PR reps about SE's relationship with the wiki, and stuff like overuse of images ''is'' a concern. At this point, we're basically operating under plausible deniability.

#You can "view things" however you want, but constantly assuming bad faith when other editors edit an article in line with ''decades-old policies'' that have been thoroughly discussed and agreed upon by the community is not helpful. I understand you are trying to help, lord knows I acted like this (and for the record, was thoroughly disciplined) when I first came to the wiki, but constantly accusing other people of "hurting the wiki" because they do something you don't agree with, despite giving clear reasons for why they did it, is burning bridges. If you think I've misinterpreted policy, or you disagree with the policy itself, question it or discuss it ''in that way''. But, and I say this because I ''want'' you to succeed, repeated ad hominems are neither productive nor winning you a lot of fans.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:12, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
