Pictures

Hey Mr. Shiny. I noticed that you've been busy uploading images for inclusion in various articles... that's great. Unfortunately, it seems that several of them are not appropriate for inclusion on the wiki. For example, since we operate under the CUP, we must ensure that all images from Paizo products are covered under the CUP. Basically, that means either images form one of the image packs they provide, or an image posted on the blog (and notably not in the fiction section). Another case is images from 3rd parties that (WotC) for example. The "Promotional" licensing template is meant for things like cover images. We've discussed the images that WotC freely makes available, and we came to the consensus that since we weren't using in reference to their own products, then it probably wasn't appropriate. What is pretty cool though is finding a nice image from wikimedia... nice work there. The short version of this is that we're kind of limited to images posted on the Paizo blog, and original images by artists (not including images from artists sites/deviantart pages that have been published by Paizo or other companies). If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page, and I'll try and help. —Aeakett 19:40, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Aeakett-- Sorry about that--I can track them down and remove the images if you want. I was under the impression that if the images were available for free on their parent websites, they were free for use here.

No problem, we'll get things sorted out. I did the same thing at one point, and the final result was that we decided that we should err on the side of caution and try and stick with CUP images and ones that we're super-clean on the copyright. —Aeakett 22:54, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

PathfinderWiki policy

TheEldritchMrShiny, please take a look at our policy on Plagiarism. Because we extensively use Paizo's intellectual property on our site, and operate under the Community Use Policy, we cannot simply cut-and-paste from Paizo sources. We have to rewrite their ideas in our own prose. Some of your recent edits will sadly have to be removed. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask me (or any of the other admins) on our Talk Page. --BrandingOpportunity (Alex) 15:35, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, wasn't aware of the policy. I'll be more careful in the future. --TheEldritchMrShiny 00:09, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

editing front my phone, so if this doesn't format well, I'm sorry..... what I suggest doing, is do the copy/paste thing into wordpad, copy the current article in there, then edit the copy paste to fit the current article (be sure to use citations) then paste the whole thing back to the article -- cpt_kirstov

Thanks for the input. I've been heading in that direction ever since the original issue was revealed to me. And citations are always a must.--TheEldritchMrShiny 01:55, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Missing Images

There were a few images that didn't make the migration. If you notice any of them, just grab a copy from the old wiki and re-upload it with the same name. Or... just leave me a message and I'll get to it when I have a chance. —Aeakett 19:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I'll get them. Noticed a couple already. --149.119.239.215 19:25, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
