Help talk:Images

I would support a merge. The contents on both pages are pretty similar, so merging the pages would be no problem. 0-172 ^{Talk to me} 1:55, 10 February 2007 (CST)

Attribution

The attribution section needs some fixing up. All images are used under fair use unless otherwise specified. -- Prod (Talk) 20:08, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of fair use, I don't understand your recent changes to scope concerning unlicensed game images. There's no reason why we can't use images from unlicensed games. Most unlicensed games use their own IP and aren't infringing on anyone's copyright. Unlicensed just means they created a game that can be played on a system without signing a licensing agreement with the system's manufacturer. Fair use wouldn't apply to images from games that are copyright infringements themselves, but there is a big distinction between copyright infringement and licensing. — najzere^T 20:18, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Re-reading the scope section, I think it means to say if a developer uses copyrighted images without the copyrightholder's permission, we can't use those game images. The sentence is just ambiguous, as it seems to say any copyrighted image from an unlicensed game, although the developer has a legitimate copyright on its own IP. Just needs clarification, I think. — najzere^T 20:22, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

The "Image maps" section needs to have updated links.

The beginning of the "Image Maps" section has useless links.

Image maps are welcome on StrategyWiki. They are images of which certain portions are clickable as links. You can use visual editors such as Mapedit to assist with drawing the shapes, although this free image map editor is more than sufficient.

The first link Mapedit redirects to a UK-based small-loan company and is thus no longer useful. The second link needs to be updated due to Toolserver not redirecting the link to the correct page. The information about Dapete's ImageMapEdit program can be found here instead: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dapete/ImageMapEdit

I'm not well-established around here yet to edit Help pages, so I figured I should bring this to the Talk Page to allow more experienced editors to handle it. - Davtwan (talk) 05:23, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Done, thanks! -- Prod (talk) 06:49, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
