Wait, does this extend to halo.wikia as well? Because I recently uploaded some gameinformer pics that were pretty much shared with files on halo.wikia. I didn't know we had this so I guess I understand why they should be deleted, but shouldn't that site take it down as well?--[[User:Ender the Xenocide|<font color="Green">Ender the Xenocide]]</font> 05:59, 13 April 2012 (EDT)

Just bumping this old thread so that everyone is aware of what is and isn't appropriate when it comes to scanned images. As per above, uploading [[Halopedia:Copyright#Scanned Images|scanned images]] to the wiki and linking to them is a no no. This applies to referencing content as well. Just reference the magazine issue and the page number. Those of us who have the magazine can double check to make sure it's correct.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 16:19, 9 June 2015 (EDT)
