Welcome to Bulbagarden Archives, Hmdwgf. Please read the checklist when you upload media files, and be sure to tag and categorize all images. Maverick Nate 03:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Anime screenshots

If possible, could you please upload anime screenshots as .pngs, not .jpgs? Chocolate 18:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Why do i need to do that? And how do I convert a .jpg file to a .png file? Hmdwgf 18:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
1. You need to do it because TTEchidna, the highest authority on Bulbapedia said that anime screenshots need to .pngs.
2. You're not supposed to convert them, you're supposed to take them as .pngs. Chocolate 02:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Also, on talk pages, start new sections at the bottom, not the top. Chocolate 03:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
How come you're still uploading .jpgs? Chocolate 23:16, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
They do need to be pngs with lowercase extensions. It would be prefered if you wouldn't upload jpgs at all. Also, try to give the images more concise and correct names. "Capture12" says nothing about what the image is. Maverick Nate 20:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Because it is policy to name them something that actually has to do with the image. Those long image names are pointless an not helpful to anyone. And also, if you plan to keep them all to yourself and not let them be used anywhere, and only by yourself, they all count as personal images and you can only keep two. Now, which is it? are you going to start following the policy about naming images correctly, or are you wanting to get blocked? Maverick Nate 00:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
