::::The trivia help section says bugger all about using it as a backdoor to present fan-made content. Which a paint scheme definitely is. To be quite clear: there is a world of difference between using product images like blister/box/unpainted mini photos and painted mini photos. Because one is a documentation of (more or less depending on the state of conservation) original state while the other is a completely personal and far reaching ''personal interpretation''. There is also a very good reason why the image upload help clearly states "Only images from accepted sources should be used. There are very few exceptions from this rule that only apply in very specific circumstances, so as a general rule just use accepted sources as described in the corresponding Help article. If you think you have a valid reason to request a dispensation or exemption from this rule discuss the issue ''beforehand'' with an Administrator or Bureaucrat." And apart from that there is the whole other issue of people not being happy at all when somebodÿ takes their private images to use them somewhere else. And while I have in the past already reached out to SoL and Mr Hale about potential collaborations I have not received any answer. So no, please do not re-upload painted private miniature photos for use in articles. You can however ''link'' to their archived original page on SoL (or similar projects) under Trivia - in the case of such obscure miniatures. --[[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] ([[User talk:Inquisitor S.|talk]]) 07:18, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
