This is a general guideline for image use on the Wiki
What Kind of Images To Use[]
- Screen captures from installments of the franchise.
- Photos of the actors, crew or behind the scenes shots.
- Publicity photos
- DVD covers
- Movie posters, calendars or other publications
- Photographs of official TPB merchandise
The wiki will accept jpg, gif, png and (I think) bmp files, possibly more.
Can I Use Photos I Have Taken?[]
Perhaps... provided they are a) relevant, b) in good taste and c) of good quality. Such photos will most likely be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Licensing[]
Every photo should have a license attached to it at the upload stage. If you are not sure, use the Creative Commons Fair Use license and drop the admin a line and ask. This is an area that I am still learning about.
Using Images in Articles[]
Captioning[]
Photos used in articles should have captions, something short and appropriate will do.
Placement[]
Place images on the left hand side of the page, and anchor them to the beginnings of paragraphs.
A Correct Image Tag[]
[[File:Vlcsnap-208570.png|thumb|left|Ricky and Julian get released from jail.]] After showing the last few minutes of the original pilot (black and white footage of Julian and Ricky starting a shootout in a public street), we see[[Julian]] and[[Ricky]] being released from prison.

Note that the code phrasing goes File:filename.jpg|thumb|placement|caption'.
What Not To Do[]
- upload or use images in articles that are not relevant
- upload poor quality images
- alter the size of the thumbnail in an article
