User talk:Urulokë

Welcome!
Well met, Urulokë. Welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your edit to the Vestress page. We hope to see more great edits!

The FR Wiki aims to be a valuable resource for all Realms fans, players, and DMs. As you edit, please keep in mind these five important rules:
 * 1) Use only official sources—no homebrew!
 * 2) Do not copy text from these sources; use your own words.
 * 3) Write everything in narrative tense (past tense), just like any novel.
 * 4) Add citations for any statements that you make.
 * 5) Avoid using the Visual Editor; use the Source Editor instead.

In case you need some help, here are some quick guides:
 * General help • Editing articles • Referencing and citing • Policies • Canon • Copyrights

…Or leave a message on my talk page or ask any of the other administrators about things.

We hope that you enjoy editing here. Again, welcome! Happy scribing!

I fixed up the article you were working on. We highly recommend using the Source editor and not the Visual editor because it has trouble with many of our templates. Take a look a the Help:Citing sources page and other Help pages for tips on editing. Feel free to ask any admin questions as well. Thanks! &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 19:45, September 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Moviesign! Thank you for the advice, I will try to be less sloppy in the future articles I read. The templates feel a bit inintuitive, but then again, I am mostly new here. Thank you again for your help! (Urulokë (talk) 21:43, September 16, 2019 (UTC))

Image Uploads
I had to delete the four images that you uploaded. If you upload images, you must use the Information template to provide the source of the image and the licensing for that image. You must also ensure that the image is not a duplicate and that you have added all the proper categories. Finally, do not replace an image from an officially published source with fan art. Fan art has a more stringent quality requirement to even be hosted on our wiki, and official art always takes precedence in infoboxes. ~ Lhynard (talk) 21:06, September 16, 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Lhynard! Thank you for telling me. The image for Matron Malice was from Deviantart, it says "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License" so I thought that I could use it, since it really is a wonderful illustration. Should I never use fanart then? (Urulokë (talk) 21:40, September 16, 2019 (UTC))


 * Hi, Urulokë,


 * Thanks for understanding.


 * Yes, you added the license, which is correct to do. Thanks! But we also need a source, because anyone can easily make up a fake license claim. We need a source to confirm the license. In this case, you would use Information and include the link to the Deviant Art page where you found the image. You also would need to note the artist's name.


 * I agree that it is good art, in this case. But we give official art priority. What you could do is create a gallery on the Malice Do'Urden page using the  tags. See the bottom of the Eilistraee page for an example of how to do that. Be sure to note that the image is fan art in the caption, just like is done on the Eilistraee page.


 * Finally, make sure to add categories to the actual File page for your image, including the Category:Fan art tag.


 * I know that's a lot, but we want to do things properly so as not to steal the artwork of artists.

 * Hi Lhynard,
 * I believe that I have done as you asked, I made a gallery, a page with the image and all copyright requirements and also a little page for the artist with a link to his art page in Deviantart. Would that be up to date with the website's policies?
 * Best Regards,
