The Nine Inch Nails Wiki is just that - a wiki. We rely on user created and submitted content to create a database of information on the band, so we trust our users a great deal to actually create articles instead of ripping them off. It's pretty apparent when it's done, so we're not too worried about that. What we are worried about is media. Here's some media items that are not allowed on the Wiki:

Song samples - Only link songs to Amazon. This saves Wiki resources, among other things.
Non-NIN-related stuff - This is a Nine Inch Nails wiki, not a wiki about your drunk friend Dan. We don't need to see photos of him taking a dive off of a barstool, no matter how funny you think it is.
Things copyrighted to magazines, TV, etc. - A low-resolution image of a magazine cover should be okay, but 1200x1600 scans of interviews with Trent's guitar tech aren't.
Music videos - Unless it was uploaded by NIN or their record label to YouTube, Vimeo, official website, etc., please do not post a link to it.
Live video - If a video was recorded on TV or broadcast over the internet, please do not post a link to it.

If you are unsure about the copyright status of something, contact an admin or just don't upload at all.
