Images that are watermarked should, if possible, be cropped to exclude the watermark itself. Images should, wherever possible, avoid featuring subtitles.
File:639c39706e7a090c2693753600d47d86.png is not acceptable, as it falls under the category of improper names and does not simply describe the contents of the image. For example, File:BAA-Batclaw.png is fine, as it simply informs the reader of the contents of the image. Images should be uploaded under a proper name that accurately describes the contents of the file. The inclusion of an image of the Joker solely for use in the gallery is not permitted, as there is already an ample supply of images depicting his character in use. For example, the images in Arkham Asylum serve to provide a visual representation of the location in question each image is unique and depicts a different part of that location. As such, images cannot be uploaded solely for inclusion in a gallery unless the gallery is integral to the function of the article. It is a legal requirement that images uploaded under Fair Use serve a function. Instead, the image should be sourced to the media it originally came from, be it a game, comic or concept art. For example, an image of the Arkham Knight may have been found on a website containing a gallery of Batman: Arkham images, but that is not a proper image source to put. 1.1.1 Proper names, subtitles and watermarksĪll images uploaded to the Batman: Arkham Wiki must be sourced with the original source rather than any website that the image may have been found on.If permission is not obtained or images are not properly sourced then the uploader is essentially stealing, hence why this policy was enacted. The policy also requires that permission from the original artist/photographer be obtained, whenever possible, before the image is uploaded. The original source must always be used, meaning members must cite the original source rather than the website where they found the image, assuming that a member of said website did not create the image themselves. In order to achieve these aims, it is absolutely required that all images uploaded to the Batman: Arkham Wiki be properly sourced and licensed using the appropriate copyright template when uploading an image. In the Wiki's never-ending quest to improve the quality of information provided to our users, it is important that the Wiki follows not only the basic copyright laws required of it, but that we stringently restrict the flow of unused, low quality and purposeless images being brought onto the site. The policy dictates requirements for sourcing images and information about the usage of images on the Batman: Arkham Wiki.
The following is the official Batman: Arkham Wiki Image policy.
