Categorize
Categorize, categorize, categorize! We can't emphasize enough how much categorization helps, especially when it comes to cleanup and navigating for certain images.

Images

 * Game covers, screenshots, official art, or any other picture of something that Sega probably made is asserted to be fair use on this site since they are not being used commercially. Therefore, you do not need to check to see if you can use it.
 * Any characters, content and features in games containing Sega characters or games that Sega has assisted in development with also is asserted to be fair use on this site.
 * If you want to upload fanarts and pictures of fan-drawn comics, you must first obtain permission from the artist or writer. They own the copyright to their work, and using fanart does not qualify as fair use because it is not canon, and it is disrespectful to the artist.
 * If you want to upload your own fanart, you MUST assert that you drew it. Just keep it out of the mainspace.
 * If you want to upload any other images, such as doctored images and graphs, you should release them under the Creative Commons license.
 * The following images are subject to Deletion:
 * Any copyrighted image for which ALL of the following apply:
 * Someone other than Sega or Sega's designers own it, excluding characters, content and features from games which have featured Sega characters or have been assisted in development by Sega.
 * The image is not used in mainspace or templatespace (or is used in those places for reasons other than commentary, description, or parody, all of which are fair use)
 * You didn't obtain permission to use it
 * Racist or obscene pictures
 * Goatse or other shock images
 * Hentai or other pornographic images

Sound files

 * You may NOT upload official game soundtracks. This constitutes major copyright infringements.
 * You may upload any OC Remix or other mix of a song provided you obtained the remixer's permission.
 * You may upload any remix you make yourself and any voice acting you may have (such as a spoken article or an interpretation of a character's voice).
 * Sound files must be in .OGG formatting. We are working on getting the Wiki to allow .mp3 uploading.

Videos

 * If possible, look for a video on YouTube and use the tags to put them in articles.
 * If you upload a video, it must be an .OGG format. It is however prefered that you upload them on YouTube and use the above method to embed them in an article, as this saves server space.

Naming
Since it is impossible to move/rename media-files (i.e. videos, images, and sound), it is important that you give the file a name that makes sense, meaning that e.g. and image of Sonic should be called something along the lines of "Sonic.png", and not "19423-432.png" or "DSCN1203.PNG".

Other policies

 * CATEGORIZE THE IMAGE under what game it's from. If it's fanart, you don't need to categorize it.  If you're using the image personally, put it in Category:User images
 * Also you should Select the image's license from the box below.
