This policy outlines acceptable guidelines for the upload and use of images.

## General Rules

1. All images from official sources can be placed in the correct image gallery.
2. Any user that uploads pictures and or .gifs for use on their personal page will find that after inactivity for 2 months that picture or .gif can and will be deleted. They must also be tagged as such.
3. Any picture or .gif that is uploaded and has not found a use (either on a user page or in the articles) within a week of upload will be deleted.

Unsuitable or unused images can, and will, be deleted at any point *without warning* by an administrator.

## Image Usage

1. **Picture Size:** Article pictures are to be kept no more and no less than a size of 190px, with exclusion given to the profile picture, which will be kept at 250px.
