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 to the Bulbagarden Archives, Coolcatkim22!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:

The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives.

All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives.

Tagging images with correct licenses and categories is a must. These guidelines will help you learn more about tagging images.

Miscellaneous
  • Please read the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files.
  • Be sure to tag and categorize all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here.
  • Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing.
  • When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean.
  • Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives.
  • Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the {{i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbagarden Archives.
  • In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive. Please be sure that the filenames contain alphanumeric characters only.
  • Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions.
  • If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide.
 Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!

Upload

For the future images, make sure that you upload them in lowercase extensions. So that will be jpg instead of JPG. Pattyman 02:11, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your card uploads

Just out of curiosity, where did you get these cards from? ht14 02:13, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Found em. I guess they're rare.--immewnitythemew 03:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I found them surfing on the internet. I'm going to upload more later. (Coolcatkim22)

Alright, just two things. First, categorize. For instance, say you were categorizing Charmander. It'll be [[Category:Charmander]]. Second, sign with four tildes (~). Thanks. ht14 16:21, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
This is your second warning. Please categorize. If you have any questions, reply on this page. ht14 16:37, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
This is your final warning. Please categorize, otherwise you will be facing a short block. ht14 16:43, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your block

As you can see above this, I have warned you multiple times in regards to categorizing. Because of your neglect in heeding these warnings or at least questioning why you have been warned, you have been blocked for the day. Please, next time listen to us. ht14 16:52, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Images

Please stop signing your images. Just upload them with tags and categories and a summary, and no signature. Thank you. --P S Yライダー 00:15, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
