Tolkien Gateway talk:Manual of Style
From Tolkien Gateway
Fair Use
It would certainly be helpful if Template:fairuse actually existed. We do need it. --Theoden1 16:30, 13 July 2008 (EDT)
- I certainly agree. It's kind of nagging me that certain things (like the "fact" template) "must" be inserted while they don't even exist. All images need a good going over anyway - copyrights, correct names, descriptions, categories. That'll take ages, but it can be done. -- Ederchil 16:42, 13 July 2008 (EDT)
Rename
To be consistent with other wiki's, shouldn't this be renamed (and remolded if necessary) to "Tolkien Gateway: Manual of Style"? -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 11:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Plagiarism?
Sorry . . . I'm new. What are the rules here about duplicating text from other sites? Does the wiki have authorization from some site owners (Encyclopedia of Arda, for example) to use their material word for word? ElfMaven 21:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Better not copy anything. There still are a lot of articles in the database that are partial or complete rips from EoA or Wikipedia from way back when the site just started. These should be changed (but I'll admit, it's not something actively pursued). -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 21:43, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
