Images
You seem to be really nice and I sure don't wish to argue, but I have to admit, I don't completely understand what's the issue here. When it comes to text and information, those things can be original to the wiki and subject to plagiarism and such, but images... How is it possible for a wiki to claim ownership of a picture taken from a video game, presumably, by means of taking a screenshot?

I mean, the images on these articles do come from the Elder Scroll games, I presume? If so, they are subject to intellectual property laws and the only reason our wikis are allowed to display them is that it's considered fair use. Even if you tell me that you personally took the screenshots, the image still doesn't belong to you. There are many images here on ASW that I "produced" myself. I took screenshots of Land of the Lost episodes to illustrate the articles related to that series. The images of Valérian and Laureline aliens come from my Valérian and Laureline comics, etc. They still don't belong to me, they belong to the copyright owners and I use them on ASW because it qualifies as fair use according to the law. I wouldn't see any reason to complain if another wiki used these same images - even if I was bothered by it, which I wouldn't be.

Like I said, I don't mean to argue. It may seem like I'm starting an argument, but I'm not, really, I'm just genuinely confused. I don't understand how it can be an issue, that both our wikis are using the same images, regardless of who used first. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 02:54, July 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright then. I understand you had nothing to do with all this fuss. If the UESP folks don't like their images being used elsewhere, I suppose it coasts almost nothing for us to comply, regardless of how pointless their attitude is towards this. If your wiki has images illustrating this same content and you're willing to upload them here (marked with a template giving you guys credit for them), I'll be more than thankful. Or, if you send me the link, I can upload them myself tomorrow and save you the trouble :) -- BlueFrackle (talk) 03:26, July 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, no problem, there's no need to try to stay out of my hair, lol. Taking care of the wiki is a pleasure, not a burden, and I want us to be friends. Thanks again for all the help you've been providing XD -- BlueFrackle (talk) 03:42, July 7, 2015 (UTC)

G'day
Just letting you know - I fixed up the Imga page - The non-wikia page (UESP) cannot claim that it's plagiarised from them, now. It's a word for word transcript from the Elder Scrolls Wiki's page, with links to that wiki where relevant. Leaving a message just to let you know that I've done so. (Also, FYI - that jpg image of the Imga? That's from OUR wiki. They copied ours 6 months later. (And did you see us complain about it? Lol) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 05:06, July 7, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Weird Edits
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. These edits were wrong indeed and I have reverted them. The anon probably didn't know what "Featured Articles" meant. And I can't blame him/her actually, as we don't even do this monthly "Featured Articles" thing anymore. The current one has been in our Main Page for ages. The guy who used to be most concerned with this has pretty much left the wiki and only shows up occasionally now.

As for the Elder Scrolls content, again, I can't thank you enough for all the work you're doing, providing us with new images and rewriting entire pages from scratch! And I'll be sure to delete the UESP images after it's finished. The only thing that bothers me a little is that deleting them will result in a whole lot of red links in my talk page, and I really hate red links, lol. But I suppose it can't be helped. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 05:29, July 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * I was referring to redlinks in my user talk page. The only way to get rid of them would be to delete or edit Alpha Kenny's message to me where he lists the images he wants us to get rid of, and obviously, I'm not going to do that! Anyway, I already deleted the plagiarized images and replaced them with yours in the Alien Species Gallery :D -- BlueFrackle (talk) 19:19, July 8, 2015 (UTC)
