Forum:Why no one reads the Image Guidelines

Exactly what it says in the title. Nobody reads the Image Guidelines. Or at least that's my impression. And I am not surprised by that judged by the way they are presented. 'Cause while the IG are mentioned and linked on the front page, there is no sign of them where drawing attention to them is really necessary.

If you search for the OP Wiki on Google you are directed to the Activity page, i.e. you won't even get to the front page and see what is written there.

The other place I found the IG is when you upload a new version of an image. How many new users do that?

A new user is most likely to use the Add Photo feature in the editor to upload a photo to add it to an article/profile/blog/etc. so why isn't there some kind of warning on that upload window or in the editor itself?

Don't get me wrong, what you did so far is fine, but I don't think it's sufficient. 14:33, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
