Revision as of 18:34, 28 March 2005
Arbiter image
I love the images you added to the article about the Arbiter (Halo), but I'm not too sure if the artist has given permission for them to be used on Misplaced Pages. On her website, Tina Leyk explicitly says her images "may NOT be used on any other site or for any other purpose without the concent of the artist". She has allowed halo.bungie.org to use her images, so she may be open to allowing us to use them too. When you get an answer from her, update the tags on the images, or if you don't feel like sending her an email, let me know and I'll do it. - NormanEinstein 04:30, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Fair use images vs. article text
I noticed that you created a couple of articles (Elizabeth Weir (Stargate) and John Sheppard (Stargate)) by pasting copyrighted text as "fair use". Unfortunately, that's not in line with Misplaced Pages policy. We do sometimes use fair use images, which is why there's template:fairuse, but that's specifically intended for images because often there are important images that are simply not possible to get otherwise. In the case of article text we can always write our own, so copyright violations aren't so flexibly tolerated there. I've already rewritten those two articles I noticed above so that they're entirely original, but I figured I should drop you a note about it for future reference. And thanks for all the other work you've done, I don't want to just focus on the negative. :) Bryan 18:34, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
