"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 commentaar 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 zoek because the vague trefwoorden being attatched to our afbeeldingen don't make our zoek bar very helpful.
So consider this an appeal from an anal-retentive credit-crazy trefwoord queen: Please trefwoord your images. When adding images, especially the first ones that pop up in a google search, please zoek the spot first to see if it's been added. I won't blame u if u don't find anything (like I said, we have a trefwoord problem) but when u post your image AT LEAST include relevant key words. In fact, even if u post a REPEATED image, if your image has better trefwoorden and credits, u will get major respect from me, and I'll probably meld 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 of joke? Defense of Twilight? Etc.)
A Note on Accurate Crediting
Odds are, u 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. u would never copy (or quote) a story without saying who zei 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, lijst the gebruikersnaam of the creator of that icon, NOT the website/livejournal group that u found it in.
If it's a photoshop/fan art, lijst the original artist (or zei artist's username).
IF u DO NOT KNOW THE CREDIT: There's no shame in that. Happens to the best of us sometimes. u downloaded this kickass image ages geleden but forgot where the heck u 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 u the original artist.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SAY "GOOGLE"
Google is a company, and true, Google does own distribution rights to some afbeeldingen (I think), but Google isn't an artist. Google does not make iconen of fanart in its spare time. Google does not own the rights 99.9% of the afbeeldingen that toon up in its search. So Google isn't a real credit.
Thanks. Rant over.
