'''Q: "Editors should italicize game titles;" Does this include RollerCoaster Tycoon or is this regarding outside sources?'''
Line 12:
'''Q: "Add available relevant pictures or images to articles that lack images;" What are the guidelines regarding pictures: upload only self created screenshots and if so, should the source be inserted?'''
:''A: If an image is a screenshot from the game, it is technically under copyright by Atari/Chris Sawyer. However, posting here would constitute fair use.

:''A: Short answer - yes. The intent of the policy is that the whole Wiki does not need to conform to one single convention. If one page switches back and forth between conventions, it can tend to be a bit jarring to the reader, so it's best to write a page so that the entire page fits into one - it doesn't matter whether that 'one' is British/Commonwealth English or American (or other) English, just as long as it's uniform in the article.''
