Images
While it's important to have proper attribution for images, we also can't place templates up without proper evidence. File upload dates are not significant evidence for screenshot-type images. Now for Vaati OoT.png, the uploader had listed the Zeldapedia URL, so that one is valid. But for Rabbitland Rescue.png this is not the case and upload dates alone are not conclusive enough to prove it so long after the fact. If it were more recent it might be more provable. As well, a more modified image would be more provable than a screenshot. Retaining objectivity is important in these matters. Best to not be blinded by competition between rivals. 19:21, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * While I do understand why we can't be sure if it is the same, the evidence that supports it being from Zeldapedia are as follows. Being how this screenshot would have to be taken from an emulator during a "cut-scene" in the game would make it statistically improbable that the images would match up exactly pixel for pixel. That shows that in all likelihood, this image is actually one in the same. Saying that the upload dates can then be used to determine which one came first. While there is a very slim chance that they are different, it seems highly unlikely. --MrMime 15:27, 27 August 2010 (EDT)
 * I understand what you're saying, but the fact of the matter is that Zeldapedia is not the only source for Zelda images on the internet. For all all we know, the person who uploaded it to Zeldapedia could have ripped it off another site. We're looking into it. 19:32, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. Saying that they match up "exactly for pixel" is pretty hard to know considering these are very low-quality images which are really small.
