I'll take a look.
Okay, I agree with the gist of Proper Credits for Graphics:
However, I think that it's pretty much implied for the wiki. New units should still be pasted in the forum threads. The wiki will be getting compilations, and those compilations are supposed to be organized by artist (or, if dealing with something ancient like Harlan's AllUnits, by compiler).
As for An artist's right to post his or her creation, I still think it's silly on the forums and even sillier on the wiki. Our attrition rate is too high for this, and most artists would want their units to be used (as long as proper credit is given) even if they are spending a year in a Turkish prison for tax reasons and can't get to their email inbox.

It concerns the proper credit when posting units.
I think when posting a series of units by say, Case,
Darthveda, fairline or ANZAC the posters should say so.
If not it implies that you have lain claim to the units,
which I think is not a very good vibe to be putting across.
I think also that changing three pixels and then pasting
your sig onto a unit is pushing the boundaries a bit.
