Permission Granted[edit]

I recently contacted the original author of this image and he has granted permission to use it here on StrategyWiki. Here is an exact copy of his email to me after I let him know his picture was being used here and asked his permission to keep it here:

Hi there,
 
Thanks for pointing this out to me. No-one asked for my
permission to post it, but I don't mind.
 
Wow, StrategyWiki sure has come a long way since I last visited
several years(?) ago! Keep up the good work
 
Kelvin

The original copy came from Gamefaqs.com at this link:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/game/930503.html

The original author's code name is Arkrex.

I emailed him using the registered email address listed for Arkrex on Gamefaqs.

I recommend that we remove the copyright violation tag and allow the image. I will leave the decision up to a Sysop since copyrights can be a tricky business.

Now we just need to take off the text in the bottom right corner and reupload it. - najzere 02:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Are you talking about the date and version #? Or the author's name? Or Both? I definitely think the Author's Name should remain. --louie55 03:10, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
No, attribution should be done on the talk page (which it has), so we don't have images on the site with non-game information, logos, advertising, etc. - najzere 05:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I will remove the text from the image. According to your Attribution Guideline, the attribution should be in the image description, not the talk page. I will add attribution in the image description. I just didn't think we could edit the image without permission from the author, but I guess in this situation, it would be ok.--louie55 05:41, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I would also say to remove the whole bottom section and leave just the image part "as an image". The text should be written up. That way it can be indexed for search (and not have a giant "hole" in the image). -- Prod (Talk) 01:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
