My article is eaten by the hamsters

In this particular case I need to talk to the author about a non-language related issue first.

Luckily, before I left the in-progress edit of my article I saved off the HTML, but in any case this article won't display for me:

Click the link, you'll probably see the angry hamsters.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

This is a world wide site, the people who likes your article to be approved might be sleeping or at work. Please be patient.

~~By the way, the images are not being displayed~~ forget it, images are there now

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Including files and images correctly

1-Sep-15 6:04

I have asked Sean below about the images. I know they are justified by the article and they are kinda needed for the explanation as well. But lately Sean asked us to be a bit harder with it and point him out such cases because of possible copyright issues.

What do you mean in this case?

I've had a little bit of trouble when embedding images and files in articles (using the functions in the right side bar). Sometimes they display correct when editing and previewing, but not on the article once it's been queued for publishing.

Has this something to do with the pending state or is there something else I should check when writing an article?

One that looked fine in preview but not pending is:

Unfortunately we still have not isolated this bug. Once the article is published, the images will look fine.

Just to confirm, are you reporting the movie images?

yes, as you told in other message

Is it wrong?

This is a very weird case. It's almost meta. It looks like he's making a movie review website, and taking screenshots of his movie reviews. There are different allowances (I believe) for using images on movie review sites, but this is simply an image of a movie review site and does not contain actually movie criticism. Still ...

This may be too complicated to call definitely from my chair.

Noone said it was going to be easy. Actually tough ones are exactly the ones where I don't say anything to the user. If it is a easy one I try it myself.

This one is one is a difficult one.

I like the article and the images are kinda needed for the explanation, but I think they are copyright of the arcade games company, and the 50 years are not over yet.

MAME alone is a tricky legal issue, I am not qualified to make an accurate final ruling, but as you say the article does not work without the images so we'll leave it for now.

Is there any other CP-Staff Member that is deeper in such thema?

Yes and no. So I took the cans of worms to our lawyers who gave us more cans and more worms and some thinking and discussing to do internally. So for now please sit tight. We will arrive at a conclusion in due course.

Meaning I should give you a brake? Or should I continue pointing out what I find?

You can still poke around but no actions will occur until our discussions and policies are in place.
