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.

Image names

Need to be descriptive about what's going on in the image, not just a bunch of numbers. Next time you upload any image, make sure the name is descriptive. Thanks Maverick Nate 17:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Anime screenshots

They should ideally be png, not jpg. UltimateSephiroth 13:52, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Uh, did you even listen? Nowadays we're trying to crack down on JPEGs of anime shots. There's a very good reason I put in a call for a PNG image in the infobox for Greenstation Town, yet you decided it would be better to upload a JPEG instead anyway. Consider this your final warning. Next time you upload a JPEG anime screenshot, it's as good as deleted.
If you claim that you don't know how to save PNG files, then you're using a dinosaur image editor. All you need to do with any decent modern image editor is to denote the filetype as PNG when saving. Even Paint allows you to save in PNG nowadays--****, Paint in Windows 7 saves in PNG by default! --Shiningpikablu252 13:20, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I have a Mac!!!!. Roryrules123 22:07 12 December 2009

That doesn't matter!!!!! Find a program that let's you save in png. And another thing, you cannot use punctuation in any image title! If you would have bothered to read the Messages from the editor, the bar on top of every archive page, or even the upload screen, you would know that ' ( and ) are all prohibited (and even the use of them is a blockable offense) don't do it again. Also, if you don't have a png saving program, don't upload anything until you do. MaverickNate 22:12, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Come on, Rory. We've been telling you to upload pngs for the screenshots. I guess it's not hard to do that especially if you took the screenshot by yourself, unless you took somebody else's... So please, it's not hard to look for a program to save it as png. Even Paint could do that. Thanks, Kevzo8 15:38, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Could you please upload pics without the Japanese warning text at the top of the frame? Thanks. --Hmdwgf 00:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Can you please upload your pngs as .png and NOT .PNG, it saves us the hassle of moving them to the correct case. Thank you. JelloTalk 16:23, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi

Please read the checklist when you upload media files, and be sure to tag and categorize all images. If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide. --MaverickNate 20:05, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Please tag all images. This is your second notice. --ht14 21:57, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Please

This is the last notice you will receive. Please tag all images, or you will lose the privilege of uploading them. --UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 18:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Categorising

It's good that you're tagging your images as anime screenshots, but you need to categorize them so that they get stored in the right places for searchers. Please take the time to follow the example provided and amend your recent uploads. This can be considered your final warning regarding categorization. Thank you. —darklordtrom 11:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Don't put it into the summary box. It is programmed with the licensing tag. MaverickNate 15:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Why?

I'm no admin.. just wondered why you uploaded a new version of the Yorterry picture that was lower resolution and lower quality.. when there was a high quality version of the exact same image?! --S2daam 20:30, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
