Well, for the accuracy part, that's irrelevant—this is a fanon Wiki, so images can be whatever users want them to be. I could, for example, post a picture of the Death Star and say it was the Super Destructo Moon, and if in the storyline I came up with there was such a thing as the Super Destructo Moon, then that would be a perfectly valid use of an image.

Copyright is an altogether different concern. We have an Image Policy that governs the use of images, and well as a variety of copyright licensing templates that cover the entire spectrum of copyright. Our policy is that as long as a user cites a license that is reasonable, we let the image stand absent objection from the image creator. For example, if Alexander claimed that his use was Fair Use (within the legal meaning of that term in United States copyright law, as applied via the four-factor test), I'd leave it alone; if he claimed to be the creator, on the other hand, that wouldn't fly.

It's different here, since Alexander doesn't have any of the image info needed; I've been trying to leave him a message about that all day, but I've been experiencing the same issue you have with posting to his wall.

I appreciate the spirit of looking out for creators' rights, though—it's why we police our Image Policy so intensely, and why the policy exists in the first place. Thanks for trying to do the right thing!
