"Tidy" is an unusual word for me, but I felt if I used "clean" it would be interpreted as another warning against mudslinging and immaturity.
What I mean is, I see a lot of repeated content on this spot. Particularly images. Most of the time, I don't 评论 on it, because if I like to point out a repeated image, I also like to link to the original image in that spot. Unfortunately, I'm generally too lazy to do a 搜索 because the vague 密码 being attatched to our 图片 don't make our 搜索 bar very helpful.
So consider this an appeal from an anal-retentive credit-crazy 密码 queen: Please 密码 your images. When adding images, especially the first ones that pop up in a 谷歌 search, please 搜索 the spot first to see if it's been added. I won't blame 你 if 你 don't find anything (like I said, we have a 密码 problem) but when 你 post your image AT LEAST include relevant key words. In fact, even if 你 post a REPEATED image, if your image has better 密码 and credits, 你 will get major respect from me, and I'll probably 报道 the OLD image as a duplicate. You'll definitely get a higher rating.
Ideas for keywords:
Character(s) in the image
Actor(s) in the image
Text that may appear in the image
Type of image (photo, comic, drawing, etc)
Image context (IE, "Twilight" but from a specific book/film? Spoof, parody 或者 joke? Defense of Twilight? Etc.)
A Note on Accurate Crediting
Odds are, 你 won't get sued. But since we entered the information age, it's much easier (but still just as illegal) to steal other people's work and ideas. 你 would never copy (or quote) a story without saying who 说 it, would you? The same goes for images, especially icons.
If it's a screenshot from the films, Summit Entertainment holds the distribution rights to that image.
If it's an icon, 列表 the 用户名 of the creator of that icon, NOT the website/livejournal group that 你 found it in.
If it's a photoshop/fan art, 列表 the original artist (or 说 artist's username).
IF 你 DO NOT KNOW THE CREDIT: There's no shame in that. Happens to the best of us sometimes. 你 downloaded this kickass image ages 以前 but forgot where the heck 你 found it, but want to share. No problem. Just be honest, and in the credit line say: "Unknown, please advise" (it's what I say). In other words, make it clear that you're willing to change the credit if someone tells 你 the original artist.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SAY "GOOGLE"
谷歌 is a company, and true, 谷歌 does own distribution rights to some 图片 (I think), but 谷歌 isn't an artist. 谷歌 does not make 图标 或者 fanart in its spare time. 谷歌 does not own the rights 99.9% of the 图片 that 显示 up in its search. So 谷歌 isn't a real credit.
Thanks. Rant over.
