Um, what to make of this? Is it copyright infringement when its posted on a website owned by the owner? lol -FireFox File:Firefoxav.png 12:33, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

Is this a scan from pcgamer or something? --Lemming64 12:38, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
yes -FireFox File:Firefoxav.png 12:40, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
Well then I guess it depends if the image is copyright of PCGamer or of arenanet --Lemming64 12:41, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
The image is from PC Gamer but the concept art is by ANet, so copyrights would go to ANet I imagine. At the same time, it's still from PC Gamer, who were *meant* to get the exclusive. --Santax 12:59, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

Gaile has said this: "The contents of the article is copyright. That means it is illegal for fansites to house scans of any part of the article. We will release shots soon enough, but it would be inappropriate to, essentially, "steal" PC Gamer's exclusive content by posting it on a fansite forum. Please don't do that.", as seen here. I believe this image fits exactly in Gaile's words and, therefore, it should be deleted. Erasculio 21:59, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
Gaile says "it's illegal for fansites to house scans" and "by posting it on a fansite forum". Well... is this a fansite...? We've already been given carte blanche to use materials from the guildwars.com site and that "Official Wiki" logo on the top-left corner there is hard to miss, so the answer doesn't really seem clear to me. (Even though erring on the side of safety by deleting it is probably the most sane thing to do, I guess; still wouldn't mind knowing where the wiki really stands on this kind of thing.) --Dirigible 22:03, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
