Hi George, I have a question about images & their licensing. I'm on a wiki based on a show, so that being said there are bound to be similar wikis out there, with similar information and images (but in other languages) because most of the info & images can easily be found. But in some cases, you need to look closer to find certain images (or info) that are not easily noticeable and can be hard to find in general. And after they've been found, sometimes editing must be done to get the image to look just right. And I've found a few images where I had to do exactly that, and once I upload them I put "Self" as the licensing, and from time to time I check up on the other wikis and I notice that the same images are being uploaded.

So what can be done about this? The images are available to the public, but I was the first & only one to notice them, and I had to edit them. And I know that the other wikis are bound to have to same things, but I thought that wikis should be unique as well, and they never asked for permission before uploading the exact same image (file wise). So what should I done?
