User:Evilquoll/Draft Image Policy

Images are important to the presentation of the Pixar Wiki, hence users must be very careful when uploading images.

The use of "generic" image filenames, such as image.jpg, is prohibited as this makes it all too easy to carelessly overwrite an image, leading to undesirable consequences such as an image appearing on the wrong page. Images must be given descriptive file names, such as "Death of Buddy Pine.jpg".

Images must also be edited if this needs to be done. Images which have large black bars surrounding them, or which are too light or too dark, are not acceptable.

Images must clearly depict the subject they are supposed to depict; for instance, it is pointless to upload an image supposedly depicting a particular actor, if the image actually shows multiple people and no effort has been made to crop to or otherwise highlight the supposed subject.

Do not upload images if doing so would violate the copyright on them; finding an image somewhere on the web is not a blanket licence to use it for your own purposes.

Uploading of images must be done with the "Ignore all warnings" checkbox not selected, and if you get a warning that the file already exists, you must choose a different name for your upload. The only exception is if you are deliberately overwriting this image with another version of better quality.

Users who violate this policy are subject to being blocked. The blocking policy is the same as described on the Antagonist policy page.
