On the other hand, if you have translated the description from a R2 DVD or have written one yourself, you can credit yourself like this: ''- written by <your_nick>''. This is mostly to prevent, for example, situations like this: one of our users writes a description, the description is copy/pasted to AnimeNFO, someone from AnimeNFO comes and complains about taking their description and not crediting them, a mod adds a ''[source: AnimeNFO]'' to the description, later the user who wrote the description notifies that he, in fact, wrote it, a mod removes the ''[source: AnimeNFO]''. | The best way is to use the official R1 DVD descriptions in which case you don't need to give credits. | ||
