Hi. I hear you're the guy running this Wiki. I wondered if it would be possible to have the Format broken links preference (misc. settings) default to unset? I keep running into broken links because of silly typo's (Carpica instead of Caprica for example) and with this preference off it becomes a lot easier to spot these. Oh, and thanks for setting all this up btw.

Pictures
Hello Joe,
You state that everything on your wiki is GNU FDL which means that somebody can copy the pictures as long as they attribute it to your site, Being an old hand in picturediscussions at nl:wikipedia I do not dare to import your pictures, although I would love some for the BG articles I am doing in Dutch. Can you please elaborate on the issue a bit for me (praying to the lords of kobol I can use some) Waerth 14:52, 3 Feb 2005 (EST)
Regarding Licensing (Images, et al)
Actually, having reviewed the GFDL license, I've decided to go towards the Creative Commons License.
I made this decision after taking a look at the Memory Alpha website and the license they used (which is CCL). I also thoroughly read the GFDL, which didn't state anything about images or fair use under American law.
I'll write a more detailed explanation later on. Maybe Saturday... but anyway, here's my official position on the images:
Images are fair use. That means episode caps, images, and soundbites, can be used, as so long as
- credit is given to the original source;
- no one makes financial profit from the images use;
- and are not used heavily (we try to use 2 to 3 images max on any one entry, for example).
In essence, fair use is applied when the image is copyrighted and is for educational / entertainment use.
