User talk:Lewtwo

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Lewtwo!

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!   ht14 16:08, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Uploading images

Hello. When uploading images, make sure your images are in png format, as that is the standard format used (aside from TCG card scans). I've already re-uploaded your jpg images with png images. Also, make sure to add the appropriate categories into the summary as well. Thank you. - unsigned comment from Force Fire (talk • contribs)

Again, please upload images in png format instead of in jpg format. You can use an online image converter to convert them and upload in the correct format. Thanks. — Ruixiang95 (talk) 04:39, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Image descriptions

Please remember to add a fitting description and template to the images you upload. In the case of the Underground item sprites, use the ones found on "Mine Mind Plate BDSP.png". Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 14:46, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

As a junior admin, I strongly recommend you follow what other members have said, it isn't too hard to copy, paste and edit--BigDocFan (talk) 15:08, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Categories placement

When uploading new images, could you place the categories section after the Licensing bit please--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 14:00, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Categories

When adding Categories, remember to include two ['s before the category and 2 ]'s after--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 19:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Uploading new artwork of Pokemon

Please make sure that base images of Pokemon and their forms that are meant to ultimately find themselves in infoboxes and various templates ("pokedex" images) are the correct dimensions. Namely, they must be perfectly square. I've reverted your updated Greavard image, as it is out of proportion, and you may reupload it when it is resized. Feel free to contact active archive staff if you have questions. ArcToraphim (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Move image summary templates

I noticed you were uploading several SV move screenshots. The summary template should be: mv/9|User|Move|sv|type=MoveType|target=Target (obviously with curly brackets on each end) Also, if the user of the move is offscreen, put "None" as the user.

Image sourcing

Do you upload enhanced pictures or whatever to the Archives? For a couple examples, Blaine here is huge and Oak here looks kinda weird... Tiddlywinks (talk) 14:07, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

What do you mean by "huge" and "weird"?- unsigned comment from Lewtwo (talk • contribs)

Like, it's way bigger than it was. Sorry, I guess it wasn't real clear. What I'm trying to ask is, do you use programs to enlarge images and/or algorithmically pretty them up (like all the fancy new AI stuff, but not necessarily limited to that)? Specifically regarding Blaine and Oak, I'd love if you could explain the overall "how" you got them. Did you scan them fresh, how did you get the source, did you touch up everything by hand or run things through a given program or...just, what all did you do? If there's even raw versions of scans, that'd be great to see as reference. Tiddlywinks (talk) 03:51, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

think they were originally from HiResPokemon, a cleaned up version of a scan of the original art Lewtwo (talk) 23:29, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Concept arts

The concept arts you're uploading are great and in great quality. If you want to you could upload them in png and ask admins to delete the jpg versions. Messy scans weigh a lot as pngs so I had to upload them as jpg, but they don't look pretty so they're good to replace.--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 17:31, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Why? It would force them to be a lower quality to be uploaded at all as PNGs, and most concept art on the site is in jpg format. I am not compromising quality in order to change the file format for no benefit. Lewtwo (talk) 17:35, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

I thought that its jpg that lowers quality. That's why everything weighs less, but it becomes grainy.--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 18:18, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Filetypes don't work that way. A low resolution PNG is still far lower quality than a high resolution JPG. Lewtwo (talk) 18:56, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

You mean the other way around. But that still doesn't seem true [1].--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 20:48, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

No, that's how it works. A 2000x2000px JPG is going to be of a significantly higher quality than a 1000x1000px PNG of the same image unless there are really weird DPI settings. Lewtwo (talk) 20:53, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

I think it's natural for a bigger image to have better quality so I don't get your logic. Well, nevermind.--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 21:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Scans are supposed to be jpg, so it's fine. Tiddlywinks (talk) 04:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
