GuildWiki talk:Image use policy

Draft
After having this link sit red for far too long, I've butchered Wikipedia's Image use policy into something that I think fits our site better. The rough draft is sitting in User:Rainith/Test, take a look. This is not GuildWiki policy. I'm not trying to pass it off as such. Post comments here, fix any spelling/grammer mistakes that I have almost certainly made. If you feel that I've left something out or that I'm plain wrong on this or that point, I'd prefer that you post here for the moment as opposed to editing my test page. Hopefully we can get something hammered out that most (if not all of us) can agree on. --Rainith 22:59, 16 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I wholeheartedly endorse moving your test page to Image use policy immediately. Any small bugs can be hammered out; all in all, that is the image use policy we've been suggesting/enforcing. &mdash;Tanaric 12:09, 18 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Done. I appreciate everyone who commented/fixed my errors.  :)  --Rainith 16:12, 18 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I like #9, annoying when there are vanity shots Skuld  16:25, 25 May 2006 (CDT)

Image upload abuse
While this probably isn't the best place to start this discussion, I can't think of a better one, so I'll just put it here... :) When I look at Special:Ipblocklist right now, I notice one thing: The lack of spam recently is a very nice thing, but we have a lot of bans for image upload abuse recently. I count five cases within six days. I'm not sure what to think of that. Should we do something to prevent larger scale abuse here? Is it possible to somehow restrict image upload further? Do we even care? :) --84-175 (talk) 08:39, 29 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I care, but I don't think there's anything we can do except mroe rigorously patrolling it. - 08:42, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

Shortcut?
Other entries in Category:Policy have shortcuts, and I feel this one will be called enough to justify one as well. So, what works best? GW:IUP, GW:PIC, GW:IMAGE, something else? I like GW:IMAGE myself, but it breaks from the pattern of a three character code. --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 15:34, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * There is precedent for longer names. GW:CONTENT. –70.20&#x260e; 16:08, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I like GW:IMAGE myself. GW:IUP sounds like a birth control device to me.  :P   --Rainith 16:09, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
