Don’t put Opengeofiction at risk of a lawsuit. Add copyright info to your wiki images.  Even if the actual risk of getting sued might be rather low, it would threaten the very existence of OGF if it happened.

Just a reminder: all images uploaded to the wiki must include information showing that you have permission to use them, including a link to the original image (where relevant). This applies to photographs and artwork, including original artwork.  

For examples, see our new expanded image use guide in the wiki.

In a few days, the admin team will begin deleting all images lacking this information. Please make our job easy by adding this information to your images so that we don’t have to delete them.

If you can’t find copyright info for your images, please replace them with images that are freely usable. They’re not hard to find. For details see the image use guide.

Thanks for doing your part!

New users can now choose their territory after one week of membership. Based on my experiences so far, I’ve come to the conclusion that one week is probably enough.

Don’t do that, please!

First, it’s against Openstreetmap’s licensing terms to use their data without attribution.

Second, I think it’s rather uncreative. That’s not what Opengeofiction is about.

If you import small amounts of data from OSM temporarily to use them as an orientation for object sizes, that’s probably OK. But if I see imported data from OSM to be used permanently then I’afraid that I have to delete them.
