The wiki's unofficial official policy on this (which came out of a discussion among wiki admins awhile back) is that the wiki:
So, for the most part it looks like what this user has been doing has been good: they've been giving the wiki images it didn't already have, and if he gets to stick his name in as "bragging rights" for helping the wiki, so be it. However, I reviewed his edit log and he removed some existing pictures in order to replace them with his own. That's a very clear bad practice, and so I have temporarily suspended this user until we can have a quick conversation and make sure they understand the rules.

I agree that having pictures of the items is beneficial... but..
https://wiki.project1999.com/P99_Everquest:Image_Policy Items In general, images of items should not be uploaded. Only in rare circumstances (classic screenshots proving existence, stats, etc) would they be useful. Players Currently, the only place where you will find p99 player pictures is one per class epic quest, denoting the first player to receive that epic. I think having a specific policy against posting pictures of the item's graphics is dumb (FashionQuest). | ||

And by the way people PLEASE don't do this. All it does is make a giant waste of time of me as I have to go back and revert all the images (I now have to wade through every one in http://wiki.project1999.com/index.ph...at&namespace=6 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).
Literally all you will accomplish is wasting a ton of both your and my time: don't do it! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is like the kid reminding the teacher about homework. Dude tries to add a bunch of FQ pics (which the wiki is sorely lacking), and you get him suspended.

Also, I'll update it to mention that fashion screenshots are ok. That page was written back in 2012 by our beloved wiki god Ravhin, and a LOT has changed since (including the introduction of the fashion categories). The page will (soon) say that images of visible equipment are acceptable, but it should also encourage people to post them on category pages rather than on item pages (since many items look the same, and what we really want is ten different pictures of different races/genders on the same category page holding similar-looking items ... not ten different images on ten different pages of different items that all look the same).

That's very detrimental to the wiki: as I said, the ability to get "bragging rights" is what motivates some people to take the time to post pics. If someone wipes out previous contributors efforts, that discourages everyone from contributing.

Triple post time: I just want to emphasize that while the practice of deleting good pics to post your own is frowned on, I very much agree with the spirit of what monnkeydoc said.
User Agimat uploaded a great number of new and unique images to the wiki, which desperately needs FashionQuest screenshots. This is awesome, and I am grateful to him for doing it. I suspended him simply to clarify this one practice, which was a very small part of his overall image uploads ... but I'm not trying to tar and feather him! Once things are clarified I fully expect this great individual will have their editing rights restored and they'll continue making great contributions (which, again, most of their uploads were).
