Hi again Koduesp,

It’s actually a really good thing that you judge your own contributions, that’s what a good editor should always be doing. Although I believe that that there are still some articles here from before the cleanup (like the Godzilla one) which are copypasted from other sources (If you want to see these pages, and if I remember correctly, they’re all categorised as Category:Articles in need of de-Wikification and Category:Articles with Wikipedia content).

Keep adding content wherever an whenever you want to. What I meant was that it was great to see somebody as motivated as yourself contributing. Writing pages shouldn’t be a chore, it should be something you enjoy. Once it stops being enjoyable, stop writing. You might decide again in the future that it’s worth coming back to. And yes, it is an endless swamp of mythology, but it’s also great coming out feeling that you’ve learned something through your research.

Images. This is a bit tricky. FANDOM's official policy is to ask every artist for explicit permission to use their work in your article. However, this isn’t always possible. If the image is on another established Wiki, the odds are good that you don’t have to worry about it. Usually, the images you’ll find (especially for things like Greek Mythology) are public domain anyway. Otherwise, many artists are happy to have their work exposed (see |thread here), but some are not. In short, I use whatever images I deem most fitting for the page, unless the artist specifically states that it is not for reuse or for sale, and I’ve fallen foul of this myself. The worst that can happen is that your selected image is requested to be taken down. Unless you are repeatedly and knowingly uploading copyrighted images, don’t worry too much. Rename your images to add the source, if you’re really worried about it. It’s good to see you're conscientious about these things.

Anyway, you’re absolutely right: it is important to know that what you do affects someone. Your contributions have done nothing but enhance Monster Wiki, and whether you keep it up or not, that’s something that will last.
