Stadium 2 sprites

Should I move them to this category? ^ht14 04:22, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I've done deleting the catogeris off the images.--Force Fire 08:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Good job, Force Fire. And, no, ht14 ^Maverick_Nate 16:58, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Roxanne

I just noticed there are 3 sprites of Roxanne, and all are being used... what should I do? Also, there are Pokémon in gif format (e.g. :File:288.gif). Should I delete those? ^ht14 02:46, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Anime characters

I created it... hope it's ok. I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic, but I took a stab at it. It is sure a lot of images to categorize. Also, Amity Square Pokémon sprites are considered overworld sprites. Should I move them so it's like AS<insert number here>.png? ^ht14 00:17, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey

User:Rayquaza386; can't we undelete his images? ^ht14 02:48, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Why should we? ^Maverick_Nate 13:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh... never mind then... ^ht14 02:17, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Is this good enough? --Hmdwgf 00:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Perfect! ^Maverick_Nate 13:54, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Candidates for moving

Could you please check it? The moving is a dire part of my Sugi-plan.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity 20:53, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! :-)--immewnitythemew 22:18, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Hikaru Wazana? Is it good enough? ^ht14 18:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's good. ^Maverick_Nate 22:03, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

TCG Retreat Cost

Do you know what is the highest retreat cost at the moment, and who holds this honor? ^ht14 02:49, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Retreat cost of 5, Steelix ex (EX Unseen Forces 109), Golem ex (EX Dragon 91), Wailord ex (EX Sandstorm 100), and Mamoswine (Stormfront 21). ^Maverick_Nate 02:56, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Charizard sprite: The revenge

Why you banned me for a week? I only tag and categorize this sprite in the right categories! I put this in Category of Charizard, Custom Sprite and personal images. And Recived a BAN for this! If you sad that this is not place for fanart what this image is doing in the charizard article? This not Sugimori's official art work is a fanart! And there are a lot of other case like this! In other starter article is this same way, in the Category:Custom sprites, There is this, is a pretty custom sprite but unless and this another beatiful sprite, but unless too. Why only the sprite made by me can't be in the other categories?

Please reply me!

Well... if the project are dead what's the problem if I put the sprite there? Is a custom sprite! I only put the sprite there because I noticed that the edits sprite go to there! Well if you don't want that it happen again you must delete all custom project and all image that not be an original work of Nintendo. Like this and the other images that i sad before! Or you give the permisson for i put the sprite in Custom sprite! I only wanna this!

Pedraito 18:32, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Show me Sugimori's official Charizard artwork, plz. Umeko 19:08, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

So? Can I put the sprite in the real categories. I don't wanna be banned again!

Pedraito 21:18, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

No. Personal images belong only in the personal images category. I didn't put my personal images in the Steven category, even though he is featured in them. Because they belong only in the personal images category. So just keep it where it is, please. 梅子^❄_❅ 21:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Well...ok....but my sprite is so cool! Pedraito 21:42, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

This is cooler!!!

In all seriousness, thanks for finally agreeing to stick with just the personal images category (if I'm interpreting your comment correctly). No matter how awesome a personal image might be, if it's not going to be used in the mainspace, then it does not belong in any other categories. 梅子^❄_❅ 23:07, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

35+ personal images... (sort of)

Hey, take a look at this page. I haven't looked at every single one of those images - there are 43 of them!! - but it looks like the user uploaded the majority of them to basically use as personal images (but tagged them as - of all things - screenshots). But I'm reluctant to warn her, or even go and tag them as personal images, because I figure Project Merchandise MIGHT find them useful (eight of the images on that page are being used on Poké Doll (plush))... but idk. Thoughts?

Also she has five other personal images. 梅子^❄_❅ 20:38, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

We might be able to use those images, so don't count them. But use the too many personal warning template for the other five: on the wiki. ^Maverick_Nate 21:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry.

My previous images have been deleted, sorry I was double posting the image earlier. I'm working on a bit of a project involving theories of the Gen V Pokémon on my user page. That mock up is going to be a bit of a place holder until the real image is revealed sometime in the future. If you have a problem with that, I can stop. Ninterror 21:24, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Need Some Help NATE !!!

Hey Nate, I need some help regarding some images. Today, I replaced almost 80 images which were supposed to be transparent and I want to replace all the images that needs to be transparent but they aren't. But I am facing some problem in editing Art from Pokémon Red and Green images and Pinball sprites. Because pinball spirits are in gif extension (animated pics) which I can't edit for some reasons. In Pinball pics, when I tried to make them transparent then only 1 frame appears instead of a complete animation and in Red & Green pics, I am unable to remove the white portion. So, can you tell me the solution of solving it please? --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 13:07, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

From what I know about making images transparent, it's apparently a lot easier to convert then to a different format. However, I haven't done anything like that, so I'm not completely sure what to do. I'd ask Immewnity, to be honest. I think he would be a much greater help than I am on this subject. ^Maverick_Nate 13:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, okay. --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 14:34, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Mew and Lugia art

I only downloaded them w/ some of the older art w/c came from Generation 1 to 2 like the one w/ Gold outside of the Ruins of Alph I uploaded here before. Some of them have that 'GAMEFREAK WEBPAGE'. The one who uploaded them probably thought they were official, so i thought they were all official too. So I reallly don't know where they came from. - Renzo493

Thanks for the info. ^Maverick_Nate 15:14, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

{:File:Zoroark.png

I have a better resolution of the image from the same source that I uploaded the new version of :File:Zorua.png. Can you unprotect it until I get it uploaded?--immewnitythemew 16:38, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Forme sprites

I was thinking of creating a new category for "Sprites (or Images) of Pokémon with alternate forms" to better keep track of and assure the proper naming of those images but I thought it best to run it by you first. I can handle the template and start up the categorization later if it's a good idea.--MisterE13 21:50, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I've made Formesprite to accomplish this goal. Just delete it if you don't like the idea.--MisterE13 23:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

It's quite extravagantly unnecessary. We are already categorizing by game and species. That's enough. ^Maverick_Nate 22:23, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

OK I just found the different formats we used between seperate kinds of sprites noteworthy. Also can we move the Overcast Cherrim sprites to 421.png and Sunshine to 421S.png?--MisterE13 02:35, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I could tag them if you wanted, save you some trouble.--MisterE13 18:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

What do we have them at now? Tag them, and I'll look at them later. ^Maverick_Nate 21:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

We have them backwards, as though Sunshine were the default and Overcast the special form.--MisterE13 23:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I've tagged File:421.png and File:421b.png to show the point. I could do the others as well if you'd like.--MisterE13 23:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Are we gonna get on this?--MisterE13 21:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Help

Is there anything I can do to somehow help out BP as admin of Archives? ^ht14 03:04, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

What sort of things do you want to do? You're usually good at coming up with stuff. ^Maverick_Nate 13:43, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

True, I mean moving stuff. Or something... it's so laggy still at BP, so I want to know if there's any help you need. ^ht14 15:39, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Nothing's coming to mind for me. Sorry. ^Maverick_Nate 16:22, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

The header error!

Hey nate, I uploaded the header image of DP173 yesterday. The problem is that it isn't showing the image anywhere (neither on DP173 article nor on any userspage. At first, I thought server may take some time to load it but it's been a day and still the image isn't appearing on the article. I tried to re-upload the image but nothing happened. Well, I faced this problem couple of times in the past as well. So, what to do now? Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 13:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Adyniz. That's likely due to the new servers installed not being synced properly yet. That's also the reason for the loss of session data over on the BP end. This will take some time to fix, so all we can do is wait. —darklordtrom 06:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 10:38, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

User:Immewnity/Template:I-Fairuse-othersite

Any changes before this goes mainspace? It'll be added to most of the high-res images.--immewnitythemew 20:14, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Boss

Wanna talk to you at some point regarding Archives management, especially what tasks need to be done, when we'd like them done, and who we'd like to do it. Meet me on AIM at some point in the near future. You bring the sandwiches and I'll bring the hard liquor. —darklordtrom 08:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

umm...

What's your reason? The picture was poorly cropped from a screenshot from Amazon, and also originally was a JPEG.--immewnitythemew 01:19, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Here's the original. Actually, that gets me thinking...--immewnitythemew 01:27, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Scratch that thing about the category. Might it be better just to have one "overlord" top-level category titled "Category:High-resolution images"? It'd lessen the categories I have listed to be made from 30-some to a negative number.--immewnitythemew 00:06, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hm? Might this be better than making a whole bunch of categories?--immewnitythemew 14:00, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

deleted images

Why were the images of both zoroark and zorua front and backsprites deleted? Please tell me if i did something wrong so i can correct it.

We aren't ready for stuff like that. We need to get them ripped from the games, or have one of the administrators do it. ^Maverick_Nate 18:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Ok well why not just the front sprites then? the current Zorua sprite looks poorly ripped...

granbull sprite

why was this deleted i worked hard getting that granbull sprite and u said u needed a newer one with better quality

Deletion

No, we (as in Psy and I) can't Nate. We have very limited powers. :) Jello^Talk 22:41, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

That's disappointing. ^Maverick_Nate 02:01, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Switch

...and I though I was doing good waiting half an hour for the image to scan. It's okay, though.--immewnitythemew 21:42, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

It was absolutely too large. The limit is 300dpi. ^Maverick_Nate 22:39, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Mister Nate~

Can you get on AIM like soon, please? Me and Jellybean have to talk to you about something very important at your earliest convenience...D8 --Psy_ライダー☮ 17:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Nope. My keyboard is broken and it takes me many many minutes to write even the simplest of messages. ^Maverick_Nate 21:18, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Feel free then just to give me a Y or N answer: Would just one category for High-resolution images be better than categories for High-resolution Sugimori artwork, TCG artwork, anime artwork, etc.?--immewnitythemew 20:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I guess one would be better. Go ahead. ^Maverick_Nate 14:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Sprite summary templates

I noticed that some categories of sprites had no summary templates (or that they were lacking in some way) and I thought a few up here care to take a look?--MisterE13 21:44, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I'll bring it up with the council on if we should use them or not. ^Maverick_Nate 21:16, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Particularly the footprint one since headers where included in the original template (which I learned was a bad thing the hard way when I modified the old Trozei template). Correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't know everything going on behind the scenes here, but in my opinion, almost everything we keep at standardized filenames should have a summary template.--MisterE13 23:19, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Everything's good except we would like to wait on the backsprite thing for now. Go ahead and add your summary templates, if you could. ^Maverick_Nate 01:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing, I expected the backsprites would be a work in progress. I'll come to you if I have any more ideas then? BTW, I brought up an idea on your BP userpage too.--MisterE13 01:36, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there any point to Template:I-Fairuse-sprite-game-alt? It seems to be the same thing as Template:I-Fairuse-sprite-game. I'd be happy to kill it off if it's useless.--MisterE13 00:27, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Go ahead. I don't see a point to it. ^Maverick_Nate 01:35, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Stupid ash

What was wrong with the ash from Stupid Mario Brothers--Megamaxxor 17:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

It had no mainspace use at all. ^Maverick_Nate 22:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

TCG: gif

I'll upload a jpg one, though, is it legit if I upload from this site? If not, I won't upload. ^ht14 17:50, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

If you crop the white edges out, then do it. ^Maverick_Nate 17:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Any white edges here? ^ht14 18:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. But I'll get them. Just change the wiki page and everything will be good. ^Maverick_Nate 18:05, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

K. ^ht14 18:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Why did you deleted the Mitsuhiro Arita artwork?

I mean, we have a Midori Harada Artwork and a Kagemaru Himeno Artwork section, Both of these women also work in different media, so does Mitsuhiro Arita. Why was this deleted? TokoyamiTheDark 19:03, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Just because we have it doesn't mean it should be there. The Archives is a hellish mess and we only started making rules and policies for getting it cleaned up. I'm just speaking on behalf of the council, those categories probably won't stay. It's not like we are deleting the images, just the category. ^Maverick_Nate 19:05, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Now I understand. It must be hard to delete unnessesary files. I just wanted to show an example of Mitsuhiro's artwork in a different domain than Pokemon, which was Yu-Gi-Oh!... TokoyamiTheDark 19:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Though I understand why you added that image, I don't know if the others will want to keep it. I mean, we are a Pokémon wiki. ^Maverick_Nate 19:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Site notice

When you have time, do you think you could edit the site notice to reflect the new file size limits that are in place now? (Just so people don't go uploading over that limit from now on). Thanks. Jello^Talk 19:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

...I think I'll die. I've just spent I don't know how long getting high-res art, and now... no more. Well, I guess that's what I made PidgiWiki for.--immewnitythemew 20:23, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Resolution rule

The area of 1080 by 1080 is 1,166,400. Can I upload an image that has the same, or less, area amount, even if one dimension is over 1080? It would take less time to load than a 1080x1080 image, theoretically.--immewnitythemew 17:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Rules are rules. Of course not. If you are going to complain to other users about uploading an image over 1080 by 4 pixels, then you have no room to make compromises. ^Maverick_Nate 21:02, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't complaining, just saying. Jeesh.--immewnitythemew 21:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Updating certain Pokemon images?

Is there a guideline for which ones I can and can't update? :o I'm assuming, for example, Ash's on-hand party needs permission but his Pokemon in storage can be updated whenever?--Cubic Question 04:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, for anime head images (images for the episodes itself) permission is required if you're uploading over an administrator. For anything else, if you get reverted by an admin, it would be best to leave it. Jello^Talk 05:29, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

EX Delta

Say it was Dragonair δ... I'd leave it as DragonairEXDeltaSpecies<number>... right? ^ht14 22:22, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I count the delta symbol as a punctuation, so yes. ^Maverick_Nate 22:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Would ☆ be considered the equivalent of δ or LEGEND? ^ht14 01:39, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Delta. ^Maverick_Nate 01:41, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

I was trying to get a screenshot for a move that was shown in gameplay video on Oha Suta yesterday. I won't upload it again. --Phantomjunkie 18:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

It's fine, but we don't really need it right now. We'd rather have it uploaded when a much better quality screenshot comes out. Since none of the moves or abilities are allowed to be created until the game release, we have all that time to prepare for shots. ^Maverick_Nate 18:54, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

More summary templates

User:MisterE13/Sandbox. I added a short commentary of the implication of each template after all of them. I hope I made my intentions clear with each one. If not, feel free to question or comment here.--MisterE13 01:27, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Old art incorrectly named

I'm still trying to determine what art are from what games, but our old art (e.g. File:001Bulbasaur RG.png) has some issues. For example, the Bulbasaur is in fact not from Red and Green. Scroll down to the bottom of this page. It's not the same. It seems that Ken Sugimori drew new art for RB or something.

Or, is that even Sugimori art at all? Close up, it doesn't look Sugimori. However, that may just have been his old style.

Which ever way it is, there's something wrong with the categorization and/or naming. Do you know any more about this?--immewnitythemew 20:06, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey

Nate, can you do me a quick favour and change the image on BN for Plasma Grunts, I should have realized it before moving it D: Jello^Talk 18:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Just wondering

...how much I'm supposed to put in image descriptions when I'm uploading them from my columns. The upload page says uploads require "detailed information in the summary, including source information", but I notice you edited the source information out of my last upload. Am I doing something wrong? George Hutcheon 15:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

You aren't doing anything wrong; I just find the summary template is detailed enough for OoS use images. ^Maverick_Nate 16:34, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

TCG scans

I only have the top half of KGL; (how) should I upload it?--immewnitythemew 22:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Don't do it. I'm sure someone will come along with both scans eventually, such as Kogoro. She typically gets a box. ^Maverick_Nate 23:04, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Why are your scans so dark? and why is Raichu so small? ^Maverick_Nate 23:06, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

New Pokémon images

Apparently I'm supposed to ask first. Can I upload these: [1] [2]? I will note the original source. --SnorlaxMonster 13:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Are these good for you? Also, when you add them to your page, I moved the image of Hatoopoo. ^Maverick_Nate 19:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Small TCG images

Is there a list/category of TCG images smaller then 300px? If not, there should. _Blake ^Talk·Edits 02:18, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Category:Images from the official card database. <---That pretty much covers it. There are also a couple in the bad image category too that need replaced, even if they aren't small. ^Maverick_Nate 02:40, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Sugimori art (CMYK)

Can you help me explain why the colors aren't wrong on the CMYK images? TTE and Jello aren't able to get it; then again, I'm horrible at explanations.--immewnitythemew 00:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Explain to me why you think they are right, because I am not seeing it. It seems to me that the RGB color scheme is the only one that should be used, and yes, until a way is discovered to convert them correctly, they should be the ones used. I agree with Jello, and TTE, and from the looks of who reverted the images, Trom, and Psy as well. ^Maverick_Nate 00:25, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

And based on the Lucario example, Blake. The list goes on with those that disagree with you. I think it would be best and wise to stop. ^Maverick_Nate 00:39, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Resolution

What is the limit on anime artwork? I know you reinstated the rules on the main page, but it says nothing in terms of anime artwork. I got some pics of Brock and Ash that are over 1080 x 1080 (and no, they were not simply stretched to over 1080 x 1080). - Vhayes1992 00:00, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

We have yet to work out all the limit caps for each type of image yet, however, I can say that artwork is one of the ones that should not be ridiculously large. Just keep the length and the width under 1280. ^Maverick_Nate 01:06, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

OK

Thank you, Maverick. I thought of categorizing but couldn't find out how. I'll also include my sources in the summary from now on. If I do any other mistake, please contact me. --Duke R 21:43, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

If you're putting the category while uploading, put it in the summary section. If you're just editing a file to add a category, put it in the bottom. ^ht14 22:01, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

New Pokémon images

I still have to ask you before doing this. Can I go around cutting out the art from these new leaked Coro Coro scans and upload it. It would be useful for putting on their own pages (and my one). When I do, I'll just be cropping out that section of the image, not removing the background. Someone else can do that; I just want to break up the scans into the individual Pokémon. Consequently, they will all be flagged with {{transparency needed}}. --SnorlaxMonster 06:58, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

That's perfectly fine. Just crop out the art, no need for any tags either. We'll get official (clean) art soon enough, so there doesn't need to be a wasted effort. —♥ Jello^talk 07:47, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

OK then. I just extracted them all and will now upload them. I used the suggested romanizations here for the names. --SnorlaxMonster 08:38, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Why did you deleted my Flying-trio animations?

Hi,

I just wanted tol know why you deleted my animations of Torunerosu, Borutorosu and Randorosu. The reasons says (non standard) What does this mean? TokoyamiTheDark 21:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I think I got it. That was because I used the Japanese names rather than the English Romaji. If this is the case, can you please rename those files

File:AniTorunerosu.gif, File:AniBorutorosu.gif and File:AniRandorosu.gif

with their respective English names? (example : AniTornelos.gif, AniVoltolos.gif or AniLandlos.gif) TokoyamiTheDark 22:17, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Move images for Gen V

OK, I'll hold on for now. So... when would it be OK? What about Gen V only moves? Turtwig Lover 04:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

OO, good idea. work on the Genration V moves. Have them at File:<move name>.png. ^Maverick_Nate 18:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Reply to : ==We have things called standards==

Hi!

I have read your message. I'm trying to do my best, but I just don't understand what is a 'standard'. I do format card image pages but I don't understand the 'summary is the same as article's name', Is this a new rule? Note I felt ill not long ago, so I had to leave my computer after uploading the 9 new BW cards. Yeah, it is true that image uploading was banned to everyone for a few weeks, but if I try to put 'Jouney Partners' on the tags, it is on the links at the bottom of the page, but it is red and says 'Page does not exist'. Is it normal? Because of that, I did not tagged the cards with 'Journey Partners' because the page was unexistant (I clicked it and they aked me to create a page with this name...) But thanks for telling me about the Romanizations, I was unaware of that ;)TokoyamiTheDark 23:03, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

User rights

Hey Nate, need to ask something regarding this. It says that we (Jr. Admins) can delete/undelete revisions but I think we can only unhide/hide the revisions but can't delete them until and unless we've powers over Jr. Admins in the hierarchy. Am I right? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 18:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

MIME?

What is "MIME type" exactly? It keeps saying that whenever I try to upload any files. J-J-M 21:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Are you trying to upload a .jpg over a .png file? Or something similar? That's usually why that message appears. Make sure you save your files properly and take a look at which file you are uploading over exactly. —♥ Jello^talk 22:17, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

The same thing's happening for a new file as well. J-J-M 12:41, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

So what do I do? J-J-M 15:59, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Summary Template for Game Attacks

I made a template (User:Joeshie/Template:Gmmv) and although it's specifically for BW, I doubt people will be uploading IV gen and below attack images. --+ Joeshie + (is Me!) 07:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

We are supposed to have images uploaded from all the games. The template you made seems like something that would need subst'd... ^Maverick_Nate 17:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Problem with Mv template

It must be something silly that I'm missing here, but I can't get the Mv template to work, as can be seen here: Razor Wind V.

Black and White English Logos

Can you get the English logos for Pokémon Black and White in here so that they can be put on the page for the game. It would be greatly apprecieated for use. They are posted on the new subsite for the games.- unsigned comment from 6259 (talk • contribs)

Here's the logos. Bluesun 00:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

VS Seeker card

You are aware of the site that scan originated from, right? I don't believe that webmaster wants us using their cards, especially without credit. (btw, I should be able to scan mine in by the end of this week)--immewnitythemew 14:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Also, this was not a duplicated file. It is critical to the Pokémon controversy page; it reads wrong without the image.--immewnitythemew 21:21, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Original series official pictures

Hey I uploaded pictures of Koffing, Starmie and Staryu of their Original Series offcial sprites, but I noticed you have a way of uploading pictures of better quality would you mind checking them out and changing them if necessary??--LHakaLH 21:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Unown (EX Unseen Forces B)

I noticed you had the Japanese image of this card up on the card page. I have the English version of the same card, but I'm not sure if and how I should submit it. Do you mind giving me a bit of help? Sorry for the inconveniance.

Don't worry. No inconvenience taken. I will gladly make time for people who wish to improve the TCG section. What you need to do is upload the image at "File:UnownEXUnseenForcesB.jpg" Then, place the following text in the Summary box:

==Summary==

Unown (EX Unseen Forces B)

==Licensing:==

{{i-Fairuse-tcg}}

[[Category:Unown]][[Category:EX Unseen Forces|B]]

That will keep the image organized the proper way. Then, you can change the image on the wiki and everything will be finished. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me. ^Maverick_Nate 14:33, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Energy TCG

I have a question about the energy cards; What is the proper way of naming them on here? Pattyman 16:12, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Depends on the print. Mostly, the same way the normal cards are. Energies have typically been avoided due to how involved they would have to be in order to update/fix their pages. If you are unfamiliar with what to do with moving Energy cards, I recommend avoiding it. ^Maverick_Nate 18:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

I think I did something wrong...

I think I messed it up somehow can you help me Truthseeker4449 23:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, new question. How do I catorgyise images? Truthseeker4449 16:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

You put [[Category:"Whatever"]] onto the page under the licensing tag. Typically, just look at an image of something similar to find the appropriate categories you'll need for the one you are trying to categorize. ^Maverick_Nate 18:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Stadium Moves

I've come to realise that some moves in Stadium have similar animations like Pin Missile and Poison Sting, Wrap and Bind, to name a few. Should I upload both version of the move anyway, despite their similar animation, or just upload one and use that as the main animation for a certain group of moves (as in Upload an image of Wrap and count that as Bind's animation as well, so we don't need to upload Bind's animation)?--Force Fire 03:58, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Tagging images for deletion

Hey Nate, I'm not entirely sure who to ask, so I'll ask you. I'm happy to go through some of the categories and tag unused images for deletion. I have a couple pf questions before I go doing that, though:

1. Are personal images still allowed on the archives, and
2. If an image is only used on someone's userpage and is not tagged as a personal image, does it get tagged for deletion?

Thanks. たかはりい 06:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Personal images are no longer allowed on the Archives. As for the images only used on Userpages, it's mostly up to the person's discretion as to whether they are personal images or not. If the image could possibly have a use in the mainspace, such as an anime screenshot, then it should not be tagged for deletion as a personal image. If it is a custom sprite, then yes, it should be tagged for deletion. ^Maverick_Nate 20:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Kyurem EX ND 96

Hi Maverick Nate,

Okay to replace the Kyurem EX ND 96 with the english photo? - unsigned comment from Bluefinancier (talk • contribs)

I would much prefer if it was an actual scan done by one of our contributors. If you don't own the card, please don't take scans from online. I'm buying two cases of the set. We'll get the full art kyurem to scan. It might be a week or two, but it'll happen. ^Maverick_Nate 15:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Revert

Good evening! Could I know why did you revert my edits ?----DJWolfy 20:42, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

You removed some categories, yeah? Those categories are the Japanese expansions from which the cards originate. The plan for TCG is to have an expansion category for every expansion, English and Japanese. However, the way I do categories is the reason why they weren't created. I wait for all the images to be in there. Take a look at Moomoo Milk. Your edit was changing the Japanese set expansion to two categories about the Adventures manga characters. Why would manga characters' categories have anything to do with a card? (I'm not trying to chastise you...I just want you to look a bit broader at what you are doing when you do it. It prevents a few edits that should never happen.) That's about it. ^Maverick_Nate 05:15, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I understand, I thought it was a broken link. My mistake----DJWolfy 10:07, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

File dimensions

You do know the file dimension limits are generally 1280x1280 pixels, yes? - Kogoro - Talk to me - 02:37, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Swampert card image

There are two images of the same thing called File:SwampertEXRS13.jpg and File:PK RS h13.jpg. The latter one appears to be bigger than the other one. Which one should be kept as this is for copyright purposes? Pattyman 00:58, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Taken care of. We are unsure of where they came from, so I just removed the one that did not involve changing the wiki page. ^Maverick_Nate 04:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Category names of the trading cards

For the category names of the trading cards that are red linked, do we have to wait for approval in order to create them? Pattyman (talk) 18:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

I tend to not create them until everything is in the category, which takes time sometimes. I guess they could be created. However, some are in a transition of the japanese set name being retranslated, which is mostly the reason why they haven't been created yet. ^Maverick_Nate 03:39, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Illus. Categories

So, are we keeping the categories, renaming the categories to "Illus. by x", or scrapping them entirely? --sorry i'm dead -- Relicant 14:22, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

We will be waiting until after the initial addition of X&Y happens. We have exactly two months until an entire new Generation starts, and that is no where enough time to edit the about 10 thousand files necessary for an addition that we'd only like to see. We need to be focusing on the more important things, which is the XY release. ^Maverick_Nate 02:18, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

So it's a "maybe"? --sorry i'm dead -- Relicant 00:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

p.s. this response was fashionably late.

Garçon and Waitress images

Can you please delete the Garçon and Waitress VS images and then reupload the correct versions (the one with the correct skin tone) under the same file name? For some reason, Bulbapedia displays these images as the incorrect version when the images are displayed under 150px or 200px. Here are the images that need to be reuploaded: Garçon and Waitress Alishere (talk) 01:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Revisions

Is hiding/unhiding revisions from vandal users/spamnots fall under the same category as tagging spambot pages for deletion (the latter I shouldn't do)? Pattyman (talk) 05:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Personally, I just wouldn't because there wasn't anything offensive with that whole spam session. That's the primary reason for hiding revisions. I'm not going to tell you not to do it (it's not really my place to), I just wouldn't personally spend my time doing it if it isn't necessary (AKA, offensive visibility; liable information like someone's home phone number/address, etc.) ^Maverick_Nate 05:50, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

It's alright, I didn't really think it was necessary to hide all the spam sessions that occurred anyway. Pattyman (talk) 06:09, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

TCG scans

Hey Nate, I was thumbing through the Category:Unsatisfactory images and noticed some of the unsatisfactory card scans are ones I have in my own collection. I would like to help out and scan them but I was wondering if you preferred png format or jpg? Thanks :) --ZestyCactus 00:45, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Jpg, 600dpi, 750x1050. Maintain rounded corners. ^Maverick_Nate 01:38, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the speedy response. I will do my best :0 --ZestyCactus 03:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
