::I suggest that the copyright notice at the bottom of the page is changed to "Text is available under GFDL & MIT", to make it more explicit that the text is free to use but images may use different licenses.

There seem to be many images used on this wiki without permission from the author. For example, [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/File:Giant_preview.jpg this image of a giant] is taken from VegasMike on [https://www.deviantart.com/vegasmike/art/Thump-189089464 Deviantart], even though the he hasn't released it under a Creative Commons licence or similar. Another example, [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/File:Ogre_with_goblin.png this image of an ogre with a goblin] is stolen from Wildweasel339 on [https://www.deviantart.com/wildweasel339/art/Goblin-Ogre-179846688 Deviantart]. | There seem to be many images used on this wiki without permission from the author.

:Even in cases where the artist is found and asked for permission to use their art on this wiki, it shouldn't be a problem if the file is deleted before they answer, because if they are favorable on their art being here, the files can just be reuploaded. | :Even in cases where the artist is found and asked for permission to use their art on this wiki, it shouldn't be a problem if the file is deleted before they answer, because if they are favorable on their art being here, the files can just be reuploaded. | ||
:If others agree, I can just mark for deletion all files as I put them on the list, as well as existing files there. Alternatively I could do as Silverwing235 suggests and do that for stock photos only, but I don't see much point in marking only half of the copyright violations for deletion.

== What's the actual meaning of the dual license here? == | == What's the actual meaning of the dual license here? == | ||
Hello! I'm a reader of DFWiki, and I'm now trying to translate some of the pages here to Chinese. Now I'm confused about the dual license -- GFDL and MIT -- applied in DF Wiki site. Does that mean I have to follow both (which seems impossible), or I can choose one of them to deliver the translated version? Or if that means all of the contents at DFWiki are issued by one or the other, respectively, then which part is under GFDL and which is under MIT? Hope someone may explain that, I would really appreciate. [[User:Xjtu-blacksmith|Xjtu-blacksmith]] ([[User talk:Xjtu-blacksmith|talk]]) 13:09, 4 January 2022 (UTC) | Hello!
