"Tidy" is an unusual word for me, but I felt if I used "clean" it would be interpreted as another warning against mudslinging and immaturity.

What I mean is, I see a lot of repeated content on this spot. Particularly images. Most of the time, I don't تبصرہ on it, because if I like to point out a repeated image, I also like to link to the original image in that spot. Unfortunately, I'm generally too lazy to do a تلاش because the vague الفاظ مطلوبہ being attatched to our تصاویر don't make our تلاش bar very helpful.

So consider this an appeal from an anal-retentive credit-crazy لفظ مطلوبہ queen: Please لفظ مطلوبہ your images. When adding images, especially the first ones that pop up in a google search, please تلاش the spot first to see if it's been added. I won't blame آپ if آپ don't find anything (like I said, we have a لفظ مطلوبہ problem) but when آپ post your image AT LEAST include relevant key words. In fact, even if آپ post a REPEATED image, if your image has better الفاظ مطلوبہ and credits, آپ will get major respect from me, and I'll probably رپورٹ the OLD image as a duplicate. You'll definitely get a higher rating.

Ideas for keywords:

Character(s) in the image
Actor(s) in the image
Text that may appear in the image
Type of image (photo, comic, drawing, etc)
Image context (IE, "Twilight" but from a specific book/film? Spoof, parody یا joke? Defense of Twilight? Etc.)


A Note on Accurate Crediting

Odds are, آپ won't get sued. But since we entered the information age, it's much easier (but still just as illegal) to steal other people's work and ideas. آپ would never copy (or quote) a story without saying who کہا it, would you? The same goes for images, especially icons.

If it's a screenshot from the films, Summit Entertainment holds the distribution rights to that image.

If it's an icon, فہرست the نام کا صارف of the creator of that icon, NOT the website/livejournal group that آپ found it in.

If it's a photoshop/fan art, فہرست the original artist (or کہا artist's username).

IF آپ DO NOT KNOW THE CREDIT: There's no shame in that. Happens to the best of us sometimes. آپ downloaded this kickass image ages پہلے but forgot where the heck آپ found it, but want to share. No problem. Just be honest, and in the credit line say: "Unknown, please advise" (it's what I say). In other words, make it clear that you're willing to change the credit if someone tells آپ the original artist.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SAY "GOOGLE"

Google is a company, and true, Google does own distribution rights to some تصاویر (I think), but Google isn't an artist. Google does not make شبیہیں یا fanart in its spare time. Google does not own the rights 99.9% of the تصاویر that دکھائیں up in its search. So Google isn't a real credit.

Thanks. Rant over.
