@AlienGamer I agree a stronger overall image policy is needed as some wikis are full of images with no copyright / license tags at all & the majority of images ripped off other sites. To have a clear no plagiarism policy about text and not an image one is a bit one sided.

@DeNascat - Individual wikis can set a more detailed policy to suit their community needs, and Fair use is a very elastic concept. Image sources should be credited if it was not created by the user. wikipedias policy is a bit too stringent for most wikis (some would have no images left if enforced)

All images should be tagged with a copyright / license option on upload as the basic common policy is what id suggest. Wikia recently adding of the new gallery tools that dont even offer options is setting a bad precedent to encourage the use of unlicensed images on Wikia wikis.
