Do not edit other writers' sandboxes without permission.
COPYRIGHT PROJECT:
REALLY IMPORTANT NOTICE READ THIS NOW: You must contact the original owner of the image when you take it down. You should not be simply sending the info to the original author to do so. Some of these authors are inactive, and then we'll never get to see these images again. -weizhong
Project Inspirational Quote: "For the pleader who prefers a voiceless picture to speak for him instead of his own eloquence must be singularly incompetent." -Quintiian
Important Notice: Please contact the author of the SCP's of the images that you take down. People are complaining that they're getting blind-sided by the image deletion with little to no notice. Also, the standard format for a notice in the discussion forums has been updated, since some people thought that they were getting punished for not using images properly. -weizhong
NOTICE: we now have a better way to review images. See the following pages:
If you have questions about this, contact anqxyr in chat or through wikidot pms.
Another thing - The only image we're treading lightly around right now is 173. If any other well known articles have image violations, they're to be treated the same as any other article.
We're going to go through and comb the whole SCP list to make sure that every image follows CC guidelines, and if not, to remove it and make a plan from there.
When you remove it, be sure to contact the original owner of the image, and ask for permission to use it. In the meantime, leave the image down.
Before you check the copyright, post the numbers of the SCP's that you're going to review for copyright violations, in this format:
You can check whether or not an image is CC with tineye. If it's definitely CC, or has been so widely distributed over the web that nobody owns it, or there is some other way where the image is definitely not owned by some entity, then it stays. Please note any borderline cases on this page - Roget
Important-ish: Also, Google has a search by image feature (see here). It isn't as accurate as tineye, but it gets much more results. I just found that SCP-900's image was copyrighted, when no results had popped up for Tineye, so please search with google images as well. -Accel
Useful tip: if you aren't sure that what you found is the original source of the image, try searching by date. First, note when the page that you suspect is the image's origin was created. Many pages include this information somewhere at the bottom in tiny-tiny font. If not, Google and Tineye may also list the date they first crawled the page, which is good enough. Now, go to the Google's page that shows matching images, and press "Search tools" -> "Time" -> "Custom range…". Set "From" to 1/1/1900 and "To" to the date your suspect page was created. If you get 0 results, then your page is probably the original source of the image.

Form Letters
This should be in a PM to the author
Hello,The image in one of your articles (SCP-[]) was removed for not adhering to CC license. I contacted the owners of the image (link), asking for a permission to use it. In case they respond positively, the image will be reinstated. You can read more about the currently ongoing image review here: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-813086/image-credit-a-thon In case you have any further question, you can contact me, or a member of the Image Team.
Goes on the discussion page
SCP-X's image was removed because we could not properly determine whether or not the image was properly licensed or attributed. It may be added once again if/when proper attribution or proper use under CC guidelines is confirmed. Please contact (INSERT YOUR NAME HERE) or another member of the Image Team if you have questions.
- We should probably add a link to the image's source, if the author wants ta do some investigating. -Accel
