VG To-do:

Can we get away with images for every character? IIRC, Wikipedia has been cracking down on the excessive use of fair use images as of late- game screenshots are supposed to be for purposes of critical commentary. Even if they don't mind, it might be excessive... I'd say Windows playables only, possibly IN and IaMP playables only, should receive images. -Seventh Holy Scripture 18:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

There is this template here: {{Character-artwork}}. And ZUN did allow screenshots of his games (except endings) to be used on websites and doujins, so....I think it's fine. To push it a little further if we want to, we can even tag the screenshots as copyrighted free use images, since ZUN gave his permission [1]. _dk 00:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

More specifically, the relevent sections of that page says:

Ｑ．攻略ページなどでスナップショットを使用したいのですが

　もちろんかまいません。事後でも報告があると喜びます。
　スナップショットの使用は以下の条件を満たしていればかまいません。

　１．エンディングなどは駄目です。
　２．拡大縮小はかまいませんが、画像の縦横の比率を変えてはいけません。
　３．イメージを加工をしたかどうか分からないような加工を施さないで下さい
　　　色味を変更したり、ありもしない敵弾を書き込んだり、スペルカードの文字を変更したりはＮＧです
　　　＊但し、明らかにネタである場合、ネタであると明記すれば大丈夫です
　４．画面の一部を切り取ったり、説明文字や矢印を上に重ねたりする事は問題ありません
 　
　もし、判断がつかない場合は、私の方まで連絡をいただけると返答します

I'll translate that:

Q: I want to use screenshots for my strategy guide page and such

Of course I don't mind. Although I'll be happy if you notify me afterwards.
I wouldn't mind, provided that the following conditions are met:
1. Ending screenshots are not allowed.
2. I don't care about expansions or reductions, but please keep their ratios the same.
3. Please don't modify the image such that it's not clear that the image had been modified.
   So changing colours, adding fake bullets onto the image, and changing the names of spell cards are not good.
4. Taking a portion of the screen, or adding text and arrows on the image is no problem.

For ambiguous situations, contact me and I should respond.

So, according to #4, we're good. We can bypass the fair use criteria then. _dk 03:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


There are more pictures here: http://www2.odn.ne.jp/aar36070/genso/ssindex.html -Seventh Holy Scripture
Now that the free images are done (we'll worry about Koakuma and Daiyousei later, I guess), which fair use images should we use, if any? I was hoping to use them all, but then I don't know how that would go with the copyright paranoia around. With the exception of Tokiko, all of them are main characters of something...so, what do you think?
Also, seeing that we're quite done, anything to add before I move this list into article space? _dk 08:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Koakuma and Daiyousei could use sprite images, like LIly White... but no one's bothered to take them for TouhouWiki either; it might not be possible to get a clean shot, since I think they launch into their attacks immediately after appearing. As for the other characters, I don't think it's necessary right now. Images for everyone would be nice, but rather then deal with license issues I'd rather get the article into mainspace, where perhaps someone else will take care of it >_> -Seventh Holy Scripture 09:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
An overzealous editor has gone on an offensive in regard to the images used in this article. Zun has given his permission quite clearly that screen shots are allowed, we don't need to try to bridge the language barrier to get his permission for this singular instance as well. Someone with the power to do so please remedy the situation. - Anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.29.248 (talk) 13:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Tried, to no avail. Someone mail ZUN or something. _dk (talk) 14:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Not worth the effort, in my opinion. This was already an extremely streamlined resource on the touhou series to begin with, and I'm not keen on fighting wikipedia's administrators once they get an idea into their heads, despite the flawed arguments it may be based upon. In the future, I'd direct those who want information on the games and their world set to http://pooshlmer.com/touhouwiki/index.php/Touhou_Wiki
This is just another example of wikipedia's heavy handed deletion habits detracting from the resource as a whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.29.248 (talk) 00:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I thought Master Spark was originally Yuka's, not Mima's? -Seventh Holy Scripture 10:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update info about Fuujinroku?

Anybody will update the character section of the Fuujinroku? (KyoriAsh 15:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Group shot?

Since all official ZUN screenshots were deleted, how about we put some group shots on this list? Although ZUN didn't make any himself, he did allow derivatives. And it'd be fair use. Any suggestions? _dk (talk) 21:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
