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)
