Assassin would imply the new class in guild wars and not some flowers ... wouldn't it? | Chuiu 16:10, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Isn't this image exclusively licensed to CGW by ANet? --theeth 00:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I would believe so. This should be deleted.  --Rainith 00:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I got Jenosavel's permission to crop and use his touched-up wallpaper version of the CGW cover. Maybe he will even create a better version for GuildWiki.
 * When I first saw the wallpaper in GWGuru is was wondering too if that might be a copyright violation, but it's been on the GWGuru front page for a few days now, and nobody seems to have complained, so I guess it's okay for both ANet and CGW. -- 00:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, and ANet used the same artwork in their PvP weekend banner. I don't think there are any exclusive rights for CGW here. -- 00:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Enlighten me, is Jenosavel the original artist? Or just the person who cropped out all the stuff from the CGW cover?  If he/she is the original artist, then you are correct and you have my apologies for deleting this.  If he/she is not the original artist then we would be in violation of copyright by posting this, which is why I did not wait to delete it.  --Rainith 00:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * He is not the original artist. He just photoshopped the CGW cover, removing all the text (which must have been a helluvalot of work). Copyrights on the internet are a tricky thing. But I don't think we're gonna get sued here. On the Assassin article I gave the source for the image. We got it from GuildWarsGuru, who've had it on their main page for a few days now. GWG is one of the top 5 GW fansites, and ANet (Gaile Gray and a few others) visit it on a daily basis. I'm sure the wallpaper didn't slip past ANet's attention, and obviously they didn't request for it to be taken down. They are the original copyright holders after all, not CGW. And even if CGW sends out any cease and desist letters, GWGuru should be the first to get one. If GWG take down the image, we can do too. I think we are safe here. Should I re-upload the image? -- 00:37, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * It seems especially ironic to me that you posted the pic on a page that had the warning about scans that (I believe) you wrote. I think we should just wait until Friday, when we'll have more than enough opportunities to get in-game pics of Assassins.  --Rainith 00:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Indeed I wrote the disclaimer, and indeed I'm generally cautious about such issues. It would have been very easy to crop for example the ingame screenshots posted on IGN, but that would be a no-no. But in my eyes this one is slightly different, for the reasons explained above. Anyway ... if anybody is seriously concerned, we'll leave the article without images 'til Friday. Or we just crop the original CGW cover (not touched up), linking to the source. -- 00:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
