[edit] Images
Images that are GFDL or public domain are greatly preferred. All images uploaded must reference the image's source and must contain an appropriate license tag. Any non-free images must be used appropriately to qualify as fair use.
[edit] Mechanics
Mechanics from books in-print are out-of-bounds. Information from books in print is acceptable, but it has to be in your own words. With mechanics, unfortunately, that's difficult to do.
Also keep in mind that everything entered into this Wiki is released, of necessity, under the GFDL. That is not the case for information on the AEG Forum. And that being the case, we still do not have permission to post anything copyrighted here, including mechanics. Posting copyrighted information this way could very easily get us in trouble not only with AEG, but also with WikiCities, as it is a violation of their rules.
Fair use material is still acceptable, but an entire article with nothing but information lifted straight from a book is simply too much. Instead of copying in the mechanics (and especially instead of only copying in the mechanics), it would probably be better to simply write a few sentences about what the card/advantage/school/skill/whatever does, its pros and cons, player reaction, benefits that might not be immediately apparent, good combos with other advantages... that sort of thing.
[edit] Infringement
If all of the content of a page is a suspected copyright infringement, then the page should be discussed on the possible copyright infringements page. If, after a week from the date on which the discussion was started, the page still appears to be a copyright infringment, then it may be deleted from the database.
If you are the owner of a copyright that is being infringed by a page within the L5R Wiki, please contact the administrator directly. I will work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
