Warning
This is your only warning

The eleven images that you recently uploaded:

 * Image:Boss aurora8.jpg
 * Image:Phazite.png

Were uploaded in violation of the images policy because:
 * You uploaded fair use copyrighted images under the public domain license

Please note that this is not only a violation of our policy (that images be licensed correctly, see here for details), this is a violation of United States and International Copyright Law! Yes, you heard right: This breaks a real law that has real consequences. While no one is likely to pursue those consequences since the violation was very small, it was a violation none the less. It's the same law that makes it OK for the RIAA and MPAA to sue you (even if you are a minor) for illegally copying music or movies. Specifically: You uploaded artwork owned and copyrighted by another entity (in this case, Nintendo) and redistributed it under a public domain license, which not only violates the copyright Nintendo holds, but makes it seem like you are the author (which you aren't, even if you took the screenshot).

I have retagged the images as fair use for you. However, be aware that, in the future, the images will be deleted without warning if you improperly tag them. In addition, continued violation of the policy will result in a block.

As a sidenote, please give your images more descriptive names. Image:Phazite.png is fine, but surely you can give a more desctiptive and simple name to Image:928517 20070830 embed057.jpg, can't you? Please keep this in mind when uploading images again.

Please read the image policy for further information. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page or to email me. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 05:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Several of the images you uploaded just now have a red link for the licening. Might want to fix that. I won't because I'm not sure quite where those images came from.  Metroidhunter32  22:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

RE:Confused
I would say that it is alright. Hypothetically, if you were to take a screenshot of Metroid Prime, it would only be not considered Fairuse (or rather, considered illegal) if you were to claim that the image was your property, and not the property of Nintendo. If were you make significant alterations to the image, then it would need to be filed under one of the various artistic licenses, labeled as fanart, and it wouldn't be able to appear in any articles. But this doesn't apply to simple image enhancements and such. But just remember that it is very important to properly license any image that you upload, whether copyrighted by Nintendo or otherwise. As a rule of thumb, just classify it as fairuse if it is something that appears in a Metroid game, or anything (such as artwork) that appears in official Nintendo-licensed material, such as official strategy guides, instruction manuals, etc. If you're not sure of an image's authenticity, try asking around the users here for a second opinion by providing a link to the image.

Thanks!
That Retro employee's page you posted was good stuff. Where did you learn about it? ChozoBoy 09:36, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Query


I would like to know where this image came from. I'm fairly certain that this isn't a screenshot from MP3, but just tell me if it isn't, (because it has been a long while since the last time I played the game.) If I'm right, this is fanart from the notorious Metroidguide.com. Please, could you tell me where you acquired this image? Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 20:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, it's quite alright. These images from Metroidguide.com are of a very high quality as fanart goes, so the mistake is very understandable, (because even the "giantbomb.com" website made the same mistake.) But thank you for reminding me about the main image for Elysia, because I had been planning to delete every image having origins at that website. You're "free to go" on this matter, since you didn't quite realize your mistake from the beginning. I'll try to give everyone at least one "freebe". By the way, in your image-finding journeys, try to find quality screenshots of both Norion and Elysia. I did so with this Bryyo image, where I also added several image enhancements to give it a godly aura. Hopefully we can achieve "Jackpot" again, with some more planetary images. If you do come across such images, I'll be very happy to enhance them for you. Just upload, and I'll do the rest. Armantula513 [ADMIN] (Talk&bull;Contribs) 00:28, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
