| − | : I, Admin Nethilia, have been into ''American Girl'' in the most technical sense since 1986 when I first saw the ads for the first three in ''Doll Reader'' magazine, and part of the fandom since 2005. I know about various websites, including, say, one that is about the History of American Girl that is in my saved bookmarks and compares variants of American Girl illustrations that were changed for Samantha, Addy, Molly, and Felicity. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : The scans of said illustrations are easily identifiable from that site. Which means uploading them here after taking them from that site violates our policies against swiping from other sites. |

| − | |||
| − | : This Wiki's been around for over a decade. You would think by now the fact the images aren't up here would clue editors into the fact that this must not have been done for a good ''reason.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | : If I or any other admin cannot reliably trust ''any'' of your illustration image sources, we will go through and purge them all from the wiki files. Which wastes our time and yours. And then block the offender to make sure we don't have to deal with this again. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : [[{{SITENAME}}:Good Article Images and You!|Good Article Images and You!]] states that improper images will be removed upon discovery and result in bans. I must not have been clear enough. Let me be explicit. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : Bans for uploading images that are sourced to other sites ''starts'' at a month and can be extended to upwards of a '''year'''. They can even become indefinite--aka a permanent block--if you've done this before and/or we have to waste long spans of time to remove the offending images from both articles and the file database. |
