:::That policy dates back to December 2008 after we made that policy. In early 2009 there was heavy discussion about this. I had populated the Wiki with 1000's of images, sourcing Zelda Dungeon. Everything from artwork pieces, screenshots, sprites, etc... This was later viewed as an abuse of the image system, since it was creating 1000's of links to Zelda Dungeon for images that were really copyright to Nintendo and not to me. Doesn't matter if I captured and edited them. Thus we implemented a new policy. It is still at Stone Watchers and can be viewed. Look at the archives section, should be somewhere around March of 2009. You should update the Wiki Image Sourcing page as well since it still shows the old policy from pre-2009.

::::I can't speak for anything that happened at the wiki circa 2010, and perhaps our policy pages do need updating, but I assure you the current stance of the wiki is to give credit where credit is due. This is encouraged via the "Source" field of our [http://zeldawiki.org/Special:Upload upload form]. | |||
::::Let's cut to the chase here: I'm guessing you don't intend to credit us as a source. I do not believe it is unreasonable to ask it of you, but so be it. You're not legally obligated to comply, of course, and since quibbling about it would only be a waste of time and effort for everyone involved, I won't pursue the issue any further. I just wanted to make sure you guys were aware that these images are coming from a competing wiki. Past that, the situation is evidently yours to deal with as you see fit. | |||
