Afternoon all,

For a while now you'll probably have seen Mikel and myself clean up the large library of images we have, while that's good and all, it would be best if images were already organised by the uploader. So, to help keep good image etiquette a new JavaScript has been added which changes the uploader, most notably the image will not upload until a description and source has been filled in. It may seem like a bit of a bother, but will hopefully help us in the long run.

What if it's from a Wiki?
 * If the image you upload is from another wiki please put the source down as the File page, not file itself or the page it might be found on:
 * Say you want to upload the file found here
 * Your source would not be http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100808223145/gunfamfanon/images/9/95/MainTechnology2.png or the page it's found on.
 * It would be http://gundamfanon.wikia.com/wiki/File:MainTechnology2.png. Remember to add the "From Wikipedia or other Wikimedia Project" option on licensing.

What if it's a recolour from a Wiki?
 * See the above, but change the licensing to "This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License."

What if it's from DeviantArt or similar?
 * The source must link back to the page containing the image, the description must contain the URL of the artist's page. For licensing pick "This file is copyrighted, but use is permitted by the copyrighter". This only applies when actual permission has been given!! If the artist has not expressly said you can use the image, DON'T!

What if it's from a blog like GundamGuy?
 * See above, sources must link to the the blog page where the image is. If there's no indication that these images came from anywhere else use "Fair Use" licensing.

If you repeatedly avoid filling in the source properly (e.g. typing garbage instead of an actual link) there will be issues, potentially leading to temporary bans. Hopefully though you will all be able to adjust to this new uploader and stick to good image etiquette.
