Forum:Out-of-universe images, in-universe articles

I've occasionally noticed in-universe articles sporting what can't be in-universe images. Sonic screwdriver is a prime example. This article has only one image that can arguably be said to be in-universe; most are licensed as "merchandise" or "concept art", with the latter images being what I highly suspect to be, in reality, fan art. Shouldn't it be that in-universe articles only use in-universe pictures, except perhaps in their "Behind the scenes" sections?  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  02:38, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Probably. In practise maybe.
 * Merchandise images should stay in the merchandise pages and shouldn't be making their way onto the in-universe pages.
 * As for specifically the sonic screwdriver page I can see two that are questionable the File:Early-sonic-screwdriver.jpg which according to the metadata was taken in 2006, while it's possible it's an actual prop, it's more likely that it's a replica. The other is File:River Song Sonic Screwdriver.jpg which while it might be fan art, it may more likely be concept art from the BBC's website.
 * However, I would be wary of a blanket rule on these things, as there are things like most of the Category:Promotional images many of which are from within stories and such and are in-universe, but there are others such as File:Back_to_stop_the_darkness.jpg, which aren't technically from within stories, but still portray the in-universe characters. --Tangerineduel 06:45, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
