GuildWiki:Image license guide

Why use license information?
Images are protected under copyright and as such, GWiki abides by the laws. Many images have been uploaded in the past that are a blatant copyright breach and have gone unnoticed. It is easy to just upload copied images from other sources but these images hold GWiki liable as well as it being morally wrong. (someone with more law experience fix this up)

Selecting the right license
First of all you must determine where the image was sourced from.


 * If your image is sourced from another website, you must find their terms and conditions, which is normally found on the very bottom of the page and then select the correct license that they have used. If the image does not cite its terms and conditions, it may be eligible for a Fair-use image tag or a Public domain image tag.
 * If the image is sourced from a guild wars screenshot, you may use the Guild Wars screen capture tag.
 * If the image was created by you or someone that has released it for free use you may use the User-created image.
 * If the image was sourced from a guild wars released tool kit, you may use the Fansite kit image tag.
