''[http://sonicfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:455602 Here is the parent and related thread, if you have not read this please read it as it may answer any questions you have. If you still have questions, please ask on that thread, thank you!]''

The previous thread had the community discuss new proposals to our current Art/Image Policy.

Art-thievery is undoubtedly a problem in the Sonic fandom. People generally recolor to compensate for their budding artistic skill, but this unhealthy practice should be discouraged entirely. A good description of a character is better than a bad drawing. We should not promote art-thieves.

The discussed proposals are as follows: If you agree with the implementation of this proposal, post  "  "
 * The slight alteration and the recoloring of official artwork are forbidden.
 * Should you have doubts on whether or not you may upload the picture to this site, please contact the wiki's administration team beforehand.
 * Uploading commissioned artwork is allowed with the requirement of crediting the artist.
 * Uploading artwork of other people's characters is allowed if, and only if, concrete evidence featuring the permission of the character's original owner is shown to administrators.
 * Blank bases are allowed. For example, bases merely including general poses and expressions are okay to use. Tracing over the original character's prominent features (Shadow's spikes, Sonic's shoes), however, is forbidden.
 * In regards to sprites, non-transformative alteration of official Sega sprites is forbidden.
 * Should you have doubts on whether or not you can upload the picture, contact the wiki's administration team beforehand.

If you do not agree with the implementation of this proposal,  post "  "

Voting will end on October 11th or when we reach a 20:1 voting ratio on either side.
