Image Rules

When using an image, make sure you properly site the image that you are using if it is Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, or Avatar: Macai's Journey related. This includes if it is an original piece of fanon art. We have simple citation standards compared to some other Wikis.

## How to Site?

Beforehand (recommended):

1. Select Explore
2. Scroll down to the images category
3. Click "Add New Image" at the top right side of the screen
4. Select the image file that you want to share
5. Scroll down and look at "more options"
6. Name the file, leaving a caption is optional, and pick a licensing category.

After:

1. Click on the image that uploaded
2. Select more info on the top right side of the photo
3. Go to source editor and enter "==summary==" (don't type the quotation marks). Write a summary of what the image is below.
4. Enter "==licensing==" below and write the license type.

Types of licenses you can write:

"{{self}}"

"{{fairuse}}"

"{{Permission}}" (Write the artist's name in the summary).

* If you don't write the license immediately, do this within 48 hours of uploading the image or one of the admins may delete it.

"{{PD}}" for public domain

## What License to Use?

Fair Use= Type "{{fairuse}} for Avatar, LOK, and other canon art from the franchise.

Own Image= Type "{{self}}" for your original art in the article infobox.

Someone else's art= This is copyrighted, but the user permits me to use it (the image whether canon/fanon is copyrighted in the sense that it is their art and not yours but make sure you get permission first if it's another user's). Type "{{Permission}}" and list the author's name in the description.

A Free Image off the Web= Public Domain (just make sure it's free and open to everyone), type "{{PD}}"

## Public Domain Restrictions

This Wiki welcomes the use of nature pictures. You can find some by looking up specific climates or by looking up the nature of different countries. This adds realism to AMJ.

Note:

1. It is easier to find free and royalty-free pictures if you search "free" when looking for natural images to use.
2. **Beware:** Certain websites like Istock and Shutterstock ask users to pay to use their images. It is good to click on the website for the image and see if you notice any statements or tabs about "pricing" or "subscriptions".
3. If you notice a name is credited to a picture, it's generally best to not use it. Unless the photographer gives clear permission for anyone to use it. Try to look for websites that don't list any real information and just list "free images for download and use".
4. If desired, share the link of the website you used when citing it.

Pinterest:

* Pictures on Pinterest require permission to use.

Flickr:

* Some websites like Flickr have a variety of licenses. Including some that are copywritten (can't use without permission so in general just don't) and others may allow use under limited protections (no commercial use) which often means they can be used in this Wiki.

**Can I check an image if there isn't a link?**

Yes, all you need to is right click on the image then scroll down to the "search the web for this image" option.

## Places to go for Public Domain and Free Images

Some websites are particularly good for this such as:

1. Free-Images.com
2. Devostock (public domain category)
3. Flickr (some of the pictures only require a link is shown for credit and that it is not used for monetary purposes)
4. Pexels
5. Commons.wikimedia.org
