:The only norm is trying not to upload the copyrighted images (since we obviously do not have the permission for that). It's not that big of a crime but one day it may backfire if original owner will ask to take those images down (miniscule chance for that, but still...). Wikipedia among other similar sites have its images in public domain, so they are safe. Oh, and keep the images names informative (for ex. 123.jpg is not a good name). | :The only norm is trying not to upload the copyrighted images (since we obviously do not have the permission for that).

:Additionally I wouldn't worry about bots. I do not set them up, it's not that easy. I write those bastards from the ground up specifically for one task, so bots can't just be found on the Internet... --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 06:12, 22 February 2015 (UTC) | :Additionally I wouldn't worry about bots.

:: Usually I upload higher quality covers or correct wrong ones or to just have a better one than what's already in place, but they come with the back art attached, so I first have to modify them in Photoshop to just get the front cover and also reduce their dimensions. (If you notice, the ones I upload are always one specific size in height and width) Technically you can't really get in trouble for this, because the source would also be in violation of copyright at the same time then, and they wouldn't want to risk that. But we've been at this for so long now, I really doubt there will be any issues. -- [[User:Ryudo|Ryudo]] ([[User talk:Ryudo|talk]]) 13:32, 22 February 2015 (UTC) | |||
