In principle, as an exception, I could do it. The ultimate goal would, of course, be to teach you to do it yourself. But before discussing that, I'm sure you can guess my question. What is the source of these pictures. There are two basic concerns I always have when I see pictures etc. in the web. (1) Is it the authentic picture? Or was it modified by a fan in any way? (2) Is this picture authorised for public release by its creators/copyright holders? | In principle, as an exception, I could do it.

:::: I do not know why these images exist in this form. You '''do not know''' either. You want to ''believe'' they are not fake. That's alright. Many editors want to believe the Doctor is not half-human, despite ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''. They are free in their head canon but are not allowed to edit pages according to it. You are similarly free to post these images on your personal webpage if you really need them. But until you '''know''' where these images come from, beyond any doubt, based on evidence rather than on feelings, you are not allowed to upload them. (By the way, that applies to absolutely all edits: if you only ''hope'' it's true but are not ''sure'', do not edit it in.) Frankly, for this wiki, these images are a low priority: they do not provide any new or useful information. The stories are audio, meaning images are not expected for them. Cover images are already present. The characters in question are present on those images. Uploading these images would not make much of a difference, as much as you are invested in them. However, if you really feel so strongly about these images, there is a simple solution: buy the CDs, scan the actual CD booklets, and upload the scans.

::::: I think we have discussed everything there was about this matter. This wiki has its own policies arrived at by the community over the past 14 years via multiple discussions. Neither your personal opinion, nor videos posted on YouTube by unknown individuals, nor other unaffiliated wikis have any effect on this. On this wiki, copyright is respected and quality control is ensured by multiple eyeballs checking and double-checking new edits. [[Tardis:Administrators]] make sure that the policies are followed. As a personal advice, in this age of fake news, when almost anybody can edit somebody's face onto any video and make their lips sync to any text, I would strongly recommend you to refrain from using unverified sources for any purposes. Whatever you choose, it is a policy of this wiki not to trust even reputable sources such as IMDb because they can be edited by anyone (see [[T:RW SOURCES]]). We are certainly not going to accept anonymous sources. I repeat that you are free to buy the official Big Finish CDs and upload official scanned images from this primary source. Until then or until somebody else uploads them, the question is closed. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:39, March 23, 2018 (UTC) | |||
