Weathertop.jpg
Hello, I noticed your picture in the Weathertop article. Did you create that one yourself or is it a screenshot from one of the games? This is actually important to know for copyright reasons and for attributing the artist. De728631 (talk) 15:02, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I created it myself.

Mountain Images For Wikipedia
Wikipedia is not a forum for displaying your undoubted talents as a graphics designer. That's what fan sites are for. If an image is to be displayed on the articles it should come from either a notable adaptation or from the original work, not fan art. Carl Sixsmith (talk) 12:22, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

As noted below this edit box, "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable". I would like to ask you to provide a link to this Wikipedia rule that you are referring to (the one about source of an image). I should perhaps draw your attention to another image - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Weathertop.jpg It was originally added to English page only; currently, it is adopted by four other articles. Apparently, authors of those articles found this image of use (especially that it is not copyrighted and of poor resolution like some other illustrations, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Misty_mountains-1-.png).

So unless I see a direct reference to that rule you mentioned, I'm not convinced deletion of an image without copyright makes Wikipedia better.

Should you disagree, consider deleting my two other works as well. --MaximKartashev (talk) 12:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you should bring your look at here. Your interpretation of the description of the mountains of Middle-earth is original research, they are not images of the mountains they are your interpretation of what the mountains might look like. Unless you can prove that you or your images are notable in some way that would warrant inclusion? I would suggest getting consensus on these issues at the Middle-earth project before continuing.
