[edit] Welcome and a note on images
Hiya and welcome to HammerWiki. Thanks for the contributions. :)
One thing that I am sure you didn't know: As a large, public fan site that adheres as strictly as we can to all terms set fourth by EA Mythic as far as use of their intellectual property goes, we are somewhat limited in what material we can use on the site.
EA Mythic, as well as every other publisher in the business, distribute some content to be used "by everyone", some via their own site, some via "fan site kits" and some via other channels. Other content, they distribute to individual fan sites (big ones), as exclusive or near-exclusive content. The image you uploaded of the Stone Troll is a good example of something we, unfortunately, cannot use. It "belongs" to IGN, so to speak, because it has not been released through one of the channels we can use.
Smaller fan sites generally ignore stuff like that, because no one is likely to notice. But HammerWiki is (hopefully) going to be really big, and we have to play it safe and not ruffle the wrong feathers. So please don't be upset when I have to delete the image. We'll find something cool to replace it soon enough. :)
You did the correct thing by showing the origins, by the way, thanks for that. Makes it much easier for us all to work together the keep stuff from falling through the cracks. (Oh, and if I'm blind and it actually says somewhere on IGN that anyone can use those screens, feel free to bonk me on the noggin and I'll fix it myself.) » Bishop · talk « 20:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
