Topic on User talk:Gadjiltron

...but something you need to know going forward -- we require some more information than you provided. We're a quite bit more conscientious about copyright law here than TV Tropes is, and so uploaded files absolutely must have a license selected. We also would like the URL for where you got the image from -- we've had two catastrophic losses of data over the past ten years, and this is to help us recover in case we lose files in a future incident, as we have both previous times.

You can find a full list of what we want, what we need, and what we absolutely must have to stay compliant with the law on our page Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page. Please check it out, especially "Licensing" under "Uploading the Image to the Wiki". At the very bare minimum, we need a license and we need the image to be on a page. (The latter especially if it's the Fair Use/Fair Dealing license -- it's only Fair Use if it's used.) If we can't get that from you, we're going to have to delete the image to protect the wiki from legal repercussions.

Thanks!

The image is a screenshot of the game's title screen that I took myself. I've used this same image on the original TVTropes page. I'm not sure which license this will fall under, though.

The advice we give in the page I linked to is "Fair Dealing is always safe". You didn't create the image, or transform it in any way, so it's still under copyright by the game developer. What you would do in this case is in the image description put something like "Image capture of the title screen of Spybot: The Nightfall Incident‎ taken by User:Gadjiltron. All rights and ownership belong to (rights holder). The use of this reduced-size and -resolution image in the context of analysis and criticism of the work is believed to qualify as Fair Dealing/Fair Use under copyright law."

Then under the License heading, add the {{Fair dealing}} template.

That should do it.

And since you apparently haven't been around since you last replied, I've gone ahead and made the changes required to make your upload legal.
