When making profiles here and on VS, this has been a courtesy thing I have made sure to do, and I would appreciate users here taking the same initiative when they are making pages.

If you are making a profile for a character, such as one for Goku, and you use someone's fan art, render or recolor of the character, then please credit the artists.

The way you can do this is by making the caption of the photo "Credit to (artist's name)" and then linking the person's DeviantArt or wherever you got the photo.

This is just an act of kindness towards the people who's art we're using to improve our pages and show's that this site has recognition for their hard work and talent. Along with avoiding potential bad blood between us and others.

Doing this can also help out these artists gain further attention for their pieces and introduce users here to artwork they may really like. Plus if someone were to just use something you put tons of hard work, effort and love into without even crediting you, you certainly would not feel good about that.

All in all, this is a very simple act that can bring lots of benifit to this site and others if we do, and potentially cause harm if we don't do. So I kindly ask the community to follow through with this.
