[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Wood cutting.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wood cutting.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 16:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Roketjack, and thank you for your contributions to RuneScape, part of the RuneScape series. Whilst your edits are greatly appreciated, they have had to be changed, as they went into too much detail about the subject! Such a level of detail, that requires that a reader be a player of RuneScape, is outside of Wikipedia's mandate and is often called "Fancruft" by other editors. Some articles, some in the RuneScape series, some not, have even been deleted on the grounds of containing too much Fancruft.

It is important to remember that:

In short, fancruft includes things like:

  • Pricing information
  • Quests and quest rewards
  • Instructions for completing quests
  • Instructions for how to use and perform a skill, for example "to make bronze bars you need 1 tin ore and 1 copper ore"
  • Lengthy, detailed descriptions of items.
  • For that matter, naming items at all. Use a short, very basic description instead, for example, the Abyssal Whip is "a demonic whip".

Avoiding Fancruft

  • Instead of giving a specific price (which is subject to change anyway), state, for example, "Runite armour often fetches significant sums of money in RuneScape's marketplaces"
  • Never mention quests, the rewards from quests or anything to do with quests
  • Never mention the different types of equipment or raw material used for a skill
  • Never describe an item in intricate detail, or mention how to obtain it, for example, the Abyssal Whip is "a demonic whip", readers do not need to know that "the abyssal whip comes from abyssal demons which require 85 slayer to kill"

Instead, use inline citations, linking to the relevant RuneScape knowledge base article.

Please do not be put off by this! The RuneScape pages still need work! Furthermore, your great knowledge of this subject is more than welcome at the RuneScape wiki, a version of Wikipedia revolving around RuneScape, written for players, and where a higher level of detail is used.

You may also find it helpful to read:

Feel free to join in the discussion at the main RuneScape page or the RuneScape Task Force, part of WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games.

Happy editing! {{{2}}}

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Runescape LI.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Runescape LI.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Elite Deletionist 14:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
