Forum:Forum:Should I add these pre-release teasers to this article's gallery?

Forums: Index > Help desk >

I'm in the middle of creating an article page for HTH Studios Presents: Rio and i'm planning to add the 2007-2008 teasers to the gallery section. Most of them contain graphic depictions of sex and i'm not sure if that would be appropriate to add since the Wikifur server operates under German law. Here are the teasers in question:

 * What would be the purpose of uploading all of these instead of just one or two (like the covers)? --Equivamp - talk 13:27, 25 June 2019 (EDT)
 * There is scarce imagery to showcase here, less than sketch material, nothing notable -Spirou (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2019 (EDT)
 * All of these screencaps are the known remnants of the original version, which was lost when Crow's computer bricked out in 2009. There's no real reason to limit how much we can archive about the DVD or its content, and this includes any preview content that may be defunct (as with these), those that are only accessible for limited amounts of time, and those that fall under both categories. By Equivamp's logic, the Combine Overwiki needs to nuke 98% of their gallery images since those wikis aren't supposed to fulfill their duties at saving that kinds of content. There's also a good chance of HTH Studios reusing the same (remastered) preview shots and it would be appropriate to show comparisons between the 2007-2008 teasers and the ones that could be released in the future.-Realandyisepic (talk) 14:08, 26 June 2019 (EDT)
 * By my logic? What on earth are you talking about? I simply asked for what your logic was in including so many images. I presented none of my own, nor was my statement even an objection to it (because I wanted to know the justification first). I don't know what a "Combine Overwiki" is, but whatever it is doesn't matter. This is WikiFur, which is subject to its own guidelines, policies, and community consensus to further its own purpose, goals, and function. I don't think you've made any argument to the value of including every single one of the images you've listed. This isn't the High Tail Hall Historical Society. If there's a need in the future for comparisons between early work and new, it would be in-context with encyclopedic information accompanying it, and one or two comparison images would be sufficient to illustrate the point. Additionally, keep in mind that the images you've linked are unlikely to be public domain/free-use, and there's no valid fair-use justification for keeping a pile of every scrap of the original project we can possibly find. --Equivamp - talk 22:05, 26 June 2019 (EDT)
