A post whose source is plain text, rather than a link to the website where it originally came from.

This includes file uploads, where the source is simply the filename used by the uploader, and posts where the source is a written description of where the image came from. Written descriptions are often used for [[scan]]s, [[self-upload]]s or [[commissioner upload]]s, and [[game CG]]s or other assets datamined from a game.

Non-web sources should be avoided whenever possible. If you obtained the image from a website, you should post a link to the website where you obtained the image.

This tag is added automatically. Unsourced posts aren't included under this tag.
