User talk:Tailzfoxy96

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Tailzfoxy96! 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 Bulbagarden 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. Please be sure that the filenames contain alphanumeric characters only. 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 12:10, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Game sprites

We prefer pngs over gifs... same for animated pngs over gifs. That's been in place since the DP era. ^ht14 01:04, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Have you got a better picture? No? Then deal with it, until I find a png. Jeez, are gifs really that horrible, that they can't even be used, ever? I've already checked, and there's no sprite for any of the ones I've uploaded, so if there's no png sprites right now, what's the problem? --Tailzfoxy96 01:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Whoa there. We're not that desperate for the images right now. We'd prefer to just upload what we need. Just cool down, ok? The game art's already good enough at the moment. Besides, they're eventually going to be replaced, png or not once the games are out... ^ht14 01:11, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Why can't it be used until it can be replaced with something better? IF the goal of this website is to provide a database of Pokemon knowledge to people, shouldn't we have the sprites of the Pokemon up as soon as they're released? I honestly don't see any visual problems with a gif sprite, it looks good. --Tailzfoxy96 01:16, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't like to argue this all out, but that's been the format of game sprites (besides Crystal and Emerald), and that's how we're going to leave it as. ^ht14 01:22, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Osu!

Hi Serebii-sama, I am indeed [email protected] --Tailzfoxy96 03:03, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey

I'd like to know why you removed your talk page comments and the welcome template. You had been reverted twice already. Please don't do this again. Jello^Talk 03:11, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Why can't I? --Tailzfoxy96 03:19, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Because the staff has an insatiable need to know what's been said when to whom. Essentially, we don't want to end up giving someone a first-level warning about something when they've already been warned on this issue. —darklordtrom 06:26, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Your userpage

If you desperately feel the need to keep a userpage on a wiki where not many people go, that's up to you. But. You need to stay within the restrictions set in place by Bulbapedia of three edits maximum per day. You also need to help the wiki. There's a lot of cleanup to be done. Interested in helping us out? —darklordtrom 11:22, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
