The following is Star Ocean Wiki's policy on uploaded files, may they be audio, video or image. In general, these guidelines try to follow good sense regarding copyright.
General[]
- All files should be properly categorized.
- Any duplicated file will be deleted, leaving behind the file with the best quality.
- Uploaded files should have any kind of purpose. In case an uploaded file is not used, it will be deleted.
- Uploaded files should be under the copyright of Square Enix, as any type of media used on this site that belongs to this company is believed to be fair use, since we do not use it commercially.
- Any type of media which does not belong to Square Enix and is copyrighted by another company should not be uploaded on this wiki (For example, Green Day album covers, screenshots of Tom and Jerry, Sonic the Hedgehog Youtube clips) and will be deleted upon upload. Use external media-storage websites via linking.
- Any media depicting violence, explicit sexual themes, racism and discrimination, pornography (includes Hentai) will be deleted, and the uploader will be penalized.
Audio[]
- Sound files must be in .OGG format.
- Audio files must be related to Star Ocean. Otherwise, they will be deleted.
- If you upload a music sample, make sure it is shorter than 30 seconds and of no greater quality than 80kbps.
- You may NOT upload official game soundtracks.
- You may not upload any remix of a Star Ocean track without consent of the remixer (Does not include official remixes like the ones found in The Last Hope).
- You may upload any remix you make yourself and any voice acting you may have (such as a spoken article or an interpretation of a character's voice).
Image[]
- Hentai and pornographic and shock images are strictly forbidden in this wiki. Uploaders will be permanently banned, with no exception.
- If an image is 100% self-created or a photograph you have taken, categorize it as. Under Licensing you may release it under the Creative Commons or another compatible license, release it into the public domain, or decide to keep it copyrighted.
- If an image is only partially self-created, i.e. uses copyrighted material in some form, but is otherwise created by the user (e.g. desktop backgrounds, character collages, etc.), it must be uploaded under fair use and should be categorized as.
- Fanart not created by yourself should be uploaded alongside the artist's permission or it will be deleted.
