Sorry about that, maybe I said it the wrong way.

The reason I have objections because his Lara-Su Chronicles may be considered fan work.

Reason being is because it is only Copyrighted to Ken Penders and associated publishers and not Sega or Archie Comics (otherwise said companies would sue him and actually win this time). As far as I can tell, the only thing the Lara Su chronicles is associated with the Sonic franchise is the creator: Ken Penders. Everything else appears to be original (or highly modified) Sega/Archie content. If you took the time to study the Ken Penders legal case article, I'm pretty sure both Archie and Sega were against his claims of characters (that is, until he won).

Im pretty sure I remembered you saying non official fan work is not allowed, right? If allowing Pender's L-SC content at part of canonical wikia, that does not seem to be consistent with the Policy.

Remember how you removed the template image of Elias Acorn due to it not being "Official" art work?

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Elias_Acorn?action=history

1. Image content was created by Evan Stanley, a registered official Archie Comics staff member.

2. Image content is in-line with canonical context (no recolours, addition/removal of detail from the source material).

3. Most importantly, in said this, the image content will thus be copyrighted to both the artist and Sega/Archie (and Penders)

Pender's LS-C is only copy-righted and owned solely by him whilst Sega/Archie has no part in it both physically or legally.

So if the above image content from an offiicially registered Archie staff member (freelancer) is not allowed, then why is Pender's fan-fiction LS-C allowed (not legally affiliated with S/ACP?

Please elaborate.

Thank you. Sorry for any inconvenience
