Kenabres Map

Hi KazMx, and welcome to PathfinderWiki. As you can see, I have marked the Kenabres map you uploaded as a candidate for deletion. I have done this because the map, unfortunately, does not fall under the wiki's Community Use Policy, or CUP. This entire website exists only because of the CUP, because Paizo is gracious enough to let us use some of its intellectual property for non-commercial purposes. If you take a look at that policy, you will notice that only images from the Paizo blog, Web Fiction, or Product pages can be legally used by us; all others are off limits.

If you have any questions about this or other PFWiki policies, or if you think I have applied the "deletion" tag in error, please let me know. --Brandingopportunity (talk) 03:43, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

I've actually gone in and edited the text that appears on Special:Upload to indicate the need for uploaded content to adhere to the CUP. Hopefully that makes it clearer for new users so we're not following up folks' first contributions by deleting them.—Paizo Publishing, LLC.png Yoda8myhead (talk) 04:43, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Ulkreth

Sorry to be the bearer of yet more "bad news", but if you take a look at the Ulkreth page you created, you will see that I have made more edits. The reason I rewrote most of your text is because (once again) we have to abide by the rules of the CUP, which means that we can't post verbatim text from any Paizo source (with certain exceptions, see Plagiarism policy). It would be soooo much easier if we could just copy and paste stuff, but we simply can't, we have to rewrite everything in our own words.

Once again, let me know if you have further questions. I hope this does not discourage you from making further edits. There was a steep learning curve for all of us when we first started here :) --Brandingopportunity (talk) 04:12, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry I understand. I should have first read the rules before starting to make edits all over the place. I will be more careful the next time. KazMx (talk) 04:14, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
