Changing images

Hi! If you have the intention of changing an infobox image, please state your case first at the talk page. For an example, see here, and for the Tolkien Gateway rules, see here.--Morgan 21:42, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Image uploading

Hi Ivar! I admire your dedication to uploading more images. However I noticed that the image titles are not quite right. The Image policy says to name images this way(using Kip Rasmussen as an example): File:Kip Rasmussen - [image title].jpg. I hope this helps! —Holdwine Meriadoc (Talk/Contribs/Edits), 01:46, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad. Honestly, I forgot about it. --IvarTheBoneless

Also, the artist granted us permission to use selected work: Tolkien Gateway:Copyrights/Kip Rasmussen. Did you get permission for those images? --LorenzoCB 07:39, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Someone did, apparently, some time ago. --IvarTheBoneless

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly: I meant the artist gave us permission only to use some pieces of art, not all we want. --LorenzoCB 13:33, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Can you elaborate? --IvarTheBoneless

Basically the user who asked Kip if he could use his images only asked him about the specific images he or she wanted to upload, and Kip gave him permission to use those specific images he or she wanted to upload. Kip didn't give permission to use any of his works we wanted, just those few. You'd have to contact him in some way to ask if you could use those images before uploading. --Holdwine Meriadoc (Talk/Contribs/Edits), 22:00, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Images

Hi IvarTheBoneless. I'm back on the wiki after a break for personal reasons, and I've noticed you uploaded a lot of images. This is great but could I ask you to pause. In particular, we decided some years ago that wouldn't add in new artists to the wiki unless they were either depicting characters we don't already have, or they were adding a new style to the wiki. I'm not sure that's the case with some you have included; I'll take a look through when I have a little more time. That being said, just a couple of things:

• Can you email to me the evidence of the permissions you've received;
• When uploading images, you can avoid having to edit the image afterwards by not selected a copyright template but rather copying and pasting into the "Summary" box the licensing template and the categories;
• Categories, after the name of the artist, should be in alphabetic order.

Cheers. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 19:45, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
