User talk:TokoyamiTheDark

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, TokoyamiTheDark! As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:

Manual of Style The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives. List of Admins All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives. Tagging Guidelines Tagging images with correct licenses and categories is a must. These guidelines will help you learn more about tagging images.

Miscellaneous Please read the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files. Be sure to tag and categorize all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here. Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing. When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean. Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives. Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the {{i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbapedia Archives. In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive. Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions. If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide.

Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!   MaverickNate 01:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

The artworks

They look awesome. Just make sure you find a place on the wiki to use them. ^Maverick_Nate 14:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Do you have a plan for them? ^Maverick_Nate 14:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Midori Harada: This place is for images only. The wiki is where actual content goes. ^Maverick_Nate 14:35, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

You picked, "Pokémon TCG Artwork (non-card)" right? The TCG fair use images category is the one we have for that option. ^Maverick_Nate 15:01, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually, you are able to do it. If you upload any more, all you have to do is put [[Category:Midori Harada artwork]] into the summary box before you upload it. ^Maverick_Nate 15:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Your scans

Are much too dark. The images are for the artwork, and the sheer amount of darkness your scans have...makes them so you can barely see the artwork. Can you try to scan them so they aren't so dark and dull? I would like to use your scans, but if they aren't better than what we already have, I'd prefer not to. ^Maverick_Nate 19:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

No biggie. Just, don't be upset if we prefer the scans we already have compared to what you give us. We go for quality of the artwork, and sometimes, yours are just too dark. ^Maverick_Nate 17:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Okay

Your scans are fantastic, but, when the images are already at the standard name, i.e. File:Latias3POPSeries7.png, those typically are already decided on the ones we want. If they aren't in their standard name, go right ahead and replace them, (especially the ones with numbers in the name, like File:006017 P HIKOZARU.jpg) but, if they are in their standard file name, I'd like you to wait off on adding them to the pages until we decide on which one is better, and tell me that you have a different scan of card "***". Could you do that?

When we move them to the standard names, it typically means the scan is good as is, and it is unlikely to be replaced. If you could, try to focus on replacing the small Japanese images we have, please. ^Maverick_Nate 18:05, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
