Got a spare minute? The Archives need some love. See the to-do list to find a way to help.
If you upload a new image make sure you name and categorize it properly. If in doubt, ask an admin or see our FAQ page.

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Jabberwockxeno!

By creating your account you are now able to upload images to help Bulbapedia and Bulbanews. Before you jump in, take a look at these helpful tips:

  • Uploaded images must meet several requirements. Please see the upload form and/or manual of style before you upload a new image.
  • All images need categories and license tags. Save time and fill them out as you upload. There are many different licenses - be sure to pick the best fit.
  • Use meaningful filenames. Make them descriptive so that searchers can find your images easily.
  • Personal images are no longer allowed. Any personal images found will be deleted on sight.
  • If you don't have any images to submit, you can still help out.
  • If you have any more questions, see the FAQ or ask a staff member.
Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!

Regarding the uploading issue

Pre-existing files have an automated protection that prevents users from uploading a new version until they become autoconfirmed. Speaking about the requirements to become autoconfirmed, we are not going to discuss how to. If you want to change a file, yet you find yourself unable to, post an upload request on the file's talk page, and a member of staff will decide whether the file should be changed or not.

Speaking of staff, focus only in one person when in doubt instead of several at once. If the person in question isn't sure about how to proceed, then you may ask another person (and again, only one). Please keep in mind that staffers are usually busy, and it may take us more than a couple of hours to reply to your message, so please be patient. Masatoshitalk 05:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

And how do I make an upload request? Just make a section on the talk page saying I have made a new version and link to it on mediafire or something? Jabberwockxeno (talk) 21:05, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
You create a new section in the talk page saying that you request the file to be uploaded, replacing the current one. Can be in mediafire or in any image repository. Masatoshitalk 21:23, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Alright, thank you! Jabberwockxeno (talk) 22:10, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Actually, one more thing: if my update requests are "denied", is it standard for it to be mentioned? IE: how will I know if nobody has seen it yet, or if somebody has seen and has decided not to update it? And is there an "appeal" process, so to speak?
