"Tidy" is an unusual word for me, but I felt if I used "clean" it would be interpreted as another warning against mudslinging and immaturity.
What I mean is, I see a lot of repeated content on this spot. Particularly images. Most of the time, I don't commentaire on it, because if I like to point out a repeated image, I also like to link to the original image in that spot. Unfortunately, I'm generally too lazy to do a chercher because the vague mots-clés being attatched to our images don't make our chercher bar very helpful.
So consider this an appeal from an anal-retentive credit-crazy mot-clé queen: Please mot-clé your images. When adding images, especially the first ones that pop up in a Google search, please chercher the spot first to see if it's been added. I won't blame toi if toi don't find anything (like I said, we have a mot-clé problem) but when toi post your image AT LEAST include relevant key words. In fact, even if toi post a REPEATED image, if your image has better mots-clés and credits, toi will get major respect from me, and I'll probably rapporter the OLD image as a duplicate. You'll definitely get a higher rating.
Ideas for keywords:
Character(s) in the image
Actor(s) in the image
Text that may appear in the image
Type of image (photo, comic, drawing, etc)
Image context (IE, "Twilight" but from a specific book/film? Spoof, parody ou joke? Defense of Twilight? Etc.)
A Note on Accurate Crediting
Odds are, toi won't get sued. But since we entered the information age, it's much easier (but still just as illegal) to steal other people's work and ideas. toi would never copy (or quote) a story without saying who a dit it, would you? The same goes for images, especially icons.
If it's a screenshot from the films, Summit Entertainment holds the distribution rights to that image.
If it's an icon, liste the nom d’utilisateur of the creator of that icon, NOT the website/livejournal group that toi found it in.
If it's a photoshop/fan art, liste the original artist (or a dit artist's username).
IF toi DO NOT KNOW THE CREDIT: There's no shame in that. Happens to the best of us sometimes. toi downloaded this kickass image ages il y a but forgot where the heck toi found it, but want to share. No problem. Just be honest, and in the credit line say: "Unknown, please advise" (it's what I say). In other words, make it clear that you're willing to change the credit if someone tells toi the original artist.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SAY "GOOGLE"
Google is a company, and true, Google does own distribution rights to some images (I think), but Google isn't an artist. Google does not make icones ou fanart in its spare time. Google does not own the rights 99.9% of the images that montrer up in its search. So Google isn't a real credit.
Thanks. Rant over.
