ファンポップ Article: Lets Credit!

41

posted by Snerkie

Now I know a lot of us just find images, save them and don't say where we find them, too much work, right? With general images, that's not that bad. With avatars/icons...some people would appreciate if あなた did credit them. My main problem with noticing the crediting is in ファン Art.

ファン Art isn't just a 写真または picture created によって someone for あなた to just take and claim as your own. It's something someone has created themselves. A lot of people have to put hideous water marks on their work after a while if people see it as a grab and take situation.

All it takes is when あなた find the picture add it straight to ファンポップ and have the page still up of who it belongs to. Write their name/screen name and what site it's from and this can clear up a lot of awkward 質問 of "did あなた make this?" and unhappiness of people finding their work uncredited on other sites.

Just something あなた should think about when あなた post ファン Art 次 time. Thanks :)

miiamya Great point...I completely agree!

dazl Lovely, Snerkie. I completely agree. I never put credits on pictures before, until Dr.D called me on it. Now, I always give credit to the maestro (since props don't appear to work off Fanpop)

DrDevience Get after it, Snerkie! Standing Ovation! Although I'm a bit more hard core about it... My husband is a world-class photographer and has had his images published in a fair number of publications. He makes damn good money for his stuff.... We have both been putting a lot of his stuff on Fanpop for free knowing it is then fair game... but oh me oh my would we both ever hit the ceiling if someone grabbed one off here and used it elsewhere without giving the proper photographer credit... It would get ugly fast. And I am sure other photographers feel the same. Always, always give credit on images.

ktlady Yes! Nicely said. It also helps if you wish to compliment the artist on their work. I just finished putting up at least ten fan art images, and a few I couldn't find the original artist, so I at least recognized that it wasn't my work.

harold Yes. ALL images should be credited. To do otherwise is potentially illegal and could result in various actions, from Fanpop being forced to remove uncredited images to actually facing legal damages. Thanks, Snerkie: sometimes I feel like DrDevience and I have been lone voices in the wilderness, flogging this issue repeatedly for the last seven months, so it's wonderful to see others adding their voices to the chorus. I don't think anyone wants to see the site shut down over something so easily avoidable.

ineedcoffee I to would like to thank you and DrD. and others for reminding me to not to forget the credit. To be honest I never really thought much about it till I joined here now I always credit...:)

An Open Apology... and Some Gripes

posted by DrDevience

It has come to my attention that my gift for words has been failing me miserably these past few days. What I mean to impart is coming off as bitchiness rather than humerous または helpful.

For that, I want to apologize. Especially to Harold, who works hard for this site and didn't deserve to feel like he was under attack at all. I'm an idiot. I would offer to smooch and make up, but I'm too old to be getting beat up によって anyone's wife...

Now, having 発言しました that, I am going to go over a few things that might be responsible for this mood lately. I simply feel like I am banging my head against the wall...

Fanpop- Home, Sweet Home!

posted by sunsweetheart39

When I first clicked onto Fanpop, I felt like something was a little different. It wasn't like MySpace または YouTube (not that I have anything against the people who use them), where I normally get the feeling that people I don't know are looking at my profile. I felt like I could message the users on here and not get a rude または creepy message back. I could comment, rate, and make picks without anyone (besides the occasional bad-mannered user) commenting on my own opinions. I could add things and feel really great when someone else gave me リスペクトまたはコメントしました on how thankful they were for that item. And, I am so glad that ファンポップ has stayed this way! I feel so comfortable on here and only know 4 other fanpoppers in real life. I just wanted to compliment all of the wonderful users on how great they are on making this an awesome site to be on! あなた are all part of the reason I am now very addicted to Fanpop!

A ファンポップ Challenge: Pending Spots

posted by cressida

As most of あなた know, there is a special holding pen for newly-created spots -- the link arena. Spots remain there until:
a) they have a significant amount of links, 動画 & images
b) there are enough ファン to deem it 人気 ... または at least raise its status out of the 'geek stuck in the trash can' level.

Often I roam around, looking at these new creations, trying to help out those poor spots that have no videos, links, picks, または画像 to their name. But there are still spots there that were born over a 年前 with little to no リンク to make it interesting enough to join.

So I would like...

"Yes", "No" and ...."All of the Above"?

posted by cressida

I heart pick additions! Truly!

Just out of curiousity, how do people feel when they've created a pick, find pictures, spell- and grammar-proof the question, finally send it out to the world -- and two weeks later discover new choices that r ovrwhielminley mispeled, say "all of the above" または "none of the above", または are green numbers among all of the pretty pictures?

Well, あなた can read between the lines for my opinion. But I don't know whether this is a personal irritant または whether many もっと見る besides me feel this way.

Of course, there is a time and place for everything. Crazy_chica added a "None of the above" option to my link...

RATE ME!

posted by Temptasia

Why is it on 画像 that there are so many もっと見る閲覧数 than there are people who rated it? It makes me really sad, because I like to see what people think of the content I add. Now, I realize that there are people who view 画像 a もっと見る than once, but what I don't understand is when some of my 画像 have 87 閲覧数 and only 2 people (one of which is me) who rated it. In the past I used to be guilty of this, however after adding a lot of content I realized that how good it made me feel when people took the 2 秒 it takes to rate my content. I mean あなた are already there, and あなた veiwed it,...

What Do あなた Think: A Soapbox on the Importance of Commenting

posted by Temptasia

    I try to add a lot of quality content to this site, and I would like to think I succeed. However, there is no way to know for sure without your help. A 質問 that constantly plagues my mind is, "What do あなた think?"
    There are a couple of different ways to let people know what あなた think about their content. One is rating, which is definitely the most concise way to 表示する your feelings. However, sometimes just rating isn't enough to get your point across especially if the rating is unusually low.
    In the past week または two I...

New Spot

posted by Dundiechampion

What do あなた want to add? You're free to add anything あなた desire.

What do you want to add? You're free to add anything you desire.

I made a new spot about anything. The モットー is "This spot is about anything that's important to you". It just came to me when I was hanging out with my friend James (WWEchamp) and I realized, I thought it would be cool if I could put anything I wanted on one spot. I thought it would be cool to just do anything I wanted to add. NO LIMITS! so I made a spot called the anything spot. So あなた if あなた want to あなた can now add no specific content. Movies, Sports, Politics,
TV shows, cooking, add anything あなた want. If あなた think i'm sounding like an a-hole right now that's your opinion, but I think I really have a good thing going here. So please take a look at the anything spot if your even romotely intrested at all.

so just type "anything" the ファンポップ検索 engine and your there. (obviously I know)

It's Already Been A Year!

I wasn't sure where to post this 記事 so I decided to put it on this spot.

One 年 ago, the lives of many people around the world (especially of the people in Quebec) were turned upside down because of the death of アナスタシア De Sousa. She was an innocent victim of the shooting that occurred at Dawson College in Montreal, Quebec exactly one 年前 on September 13th, 2006. I just wanted to give her one moment of silence on this very sad anniversary and I was hoping あなた would all 登録する me in this. I was completely devastated when I first heard the tragic news about this shooting last year...

Petty Ratings

posted by megloveskyle

I have noticed recently that ratings on very great material are extremly low. I can understand 動画 that are of poor quality but リンク like IMDb または fansites are being rated as low. These are what I have been calling "petty rates". If あなた have a problem with someone on ファンポップ don't take it out on their ratings. Add your own content that あなた think is better.

When あなた write a soapbox または find a great image, it can be really disappointing to get a low rating. Personally, it makes me not want to add content. Why spend so much time adding great content when people are going to rate is so low and...
