Using images
Hi, I noticed your attempts on the Bishonen page. Wikipedia cannot link to images on other websites, they must have been locally uploaded. Be careful, however, because you will probably have to claim fair use for screenshots you upload. There is already a large body of images you can use (Category:Animanga images is a good place to start, but you'll usually find something on the respective anime's Wikipedia page). &mdash; Ambush Commander (Talk) 20:42, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I AM the owner of Oro-Con. I just simply think that everything that exists should have a Wiki. I just copied and pasted the About section of the website because I didn't want to retype a huge article all over again. I do not think of this page as a promotional page because I have not listed requirements for art promotion or the e-mails at which the artist would need to mail a request to. It is simply background info that is placed just in case someone actually uses Wiki to figure out what Oro-Con is.


 * I apologize and hope that future edits to the page won't seem rule breaking. Daryl Jones, Oro-Con President

"I just simply think that everything that exists should have a Wiki." Standards such as WP:WEB and WP:CORP exist to ensure that Wikipedia is not swamped by all manner of articles pertaining to companies and websites, notable or otherwise. A bar has to be set at some level and those entities that pass beneath said bar don't get article space on WP. If you are the holder of the copyright of the text on the website that was cut-and-pasted in to this article, then you have the right to dispose of your intellectual property as you wish. That said, a textdump on to WP, ignoring the standards and guidelines set out above it not the best way of going about it. Regards,  (aeropagitica)    (talk)   22:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
