Nodame Cantabile Wiki:Image Policy

We use photos simply in this wiki but we should follow some decent rules.

Using Images

 * Any picture or .gif that is uploaded and has not found a use (either on an user page or in the articles) within 3 days of that picture or .gif being uploaded can, and will be deleted.
 * Size- There is no set size for images on the Nodame Cantabile wiki, but they are generally placed at 200px.

General Notes

 * Images used in articles are generally to be .jpg or .png. Generally, gifs can be used when it is important to have the animation to explain or highlight a certain situation, such as with performances or other action-based techniques. However, gifs are generally not preferable because they tend to be of low quality.
 * Do not upload duplicates of images. All duplicates will be deleted. If you are unsure if an image has been uploaded before, you can search for it by going to Special:FileDuplicateSearch.
 * Do not upload any pornographic images or images containing inappropriate language. Doing so will result in immediate deletion of the image, and the uploader will likely be blocked without warning.
 * Only upload images you intend to use. If images are not used within two days, they will be deleted. You are welcome to re-add the images if you find a use for them.
 * Do not claim images as your own.
 * Fan art is only allowed on your User page, not on articles. Only the images that have no personal content or modifications from its original image, without additional personal contents, will be accepted. Exceptions may include translated images (e.g. Japanese to English) and credits for an image source. Acceptable images would include screenshots and official artwork.

Quality

 * Images are to be free of errors where possible. This means they should not contain mouse pointers and borders. Text from subtitles and text in manga pictures, primarily dialogue of characters and text added by the scanlators such as the name of the scanlation group, should also be removed if possible. This may mean physically erasing it yourself or finding a raw video instead of a subbed.
 * Pictures should remain largely untouched. For example, they should not be stretched vertically or horizontally, they should not have adjustments to the color and larger portions of the background should not be cut out. Doing so distorts the image from the original intent of the animators. If you have to do more than resize, crop or erase dialogue, then you're modifying the image too much.
