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, Pokemontheif7!

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!

Images

They are supposed to be in png format. Also please license and categorize your uploads. Lastly and most important, make sure your images are not blurry. Thank you. --Psyライダー 02:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Second warning, please make sure your images are png and not blurry. Thank you. --Psyライダー 19:36, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Please license and categorize all your uploads, and upload good quality images. Jellotalk 19:48, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
If you continue to not follow the rules, you may suffer a short block. Please read the welcome template and learn how to categorize and tag your images. Thank you. --Psyライダー 19:52, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. As you did not listen to your previous warnings (categories, decent quality images), you have been given a short block. Additionally, I request that you upload images with meaningful filenames as opposed to simply giving them numbers. Numbers do not tell people what is happening in the image. Cheers. —darklordtrom 23:50, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey there. You still did not learn from your previous mistake, so as a result, you are given another block. If you are still confused, do ask here to clear things up instead of not following the rules, thanks. ht14 19:57, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
You are still not following the instructions. You need to upload high quality images, tag and categorize them. If you have questions how, ask. If you don't start to follow the directions, you might suffer a short block. Thank you. --P S Yライダー 23:13, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Filenames

First, you're still uploading jpgs despite previous warnings. Second, trainer Pokemon file names are supposed to go like this "(Trainer)(Pokemon).png" Ataro 01:04, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Your scans are actually really good. If you can please upload in png, that would be great, along with the proper naming conventions. Someone else can easily clean the scan later. So, please upload it as png. Thanks. Jellotalk 01:32, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Please read your talk page and above warnings. You have not listened to any so far. Jellotalk 00:18, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Okay you're uploading with semi-proper file names now. They're still .jpg. Please, please upload them as .png as it is of a higher quality. Your .jpgs will just get replaced and deleted. Also, for file names it should be something like Koya Mamoswine.png not koya'smamaoswine.jpg as that has non-alphanumeric characters. Jellotalk 02:29, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

This is your final warning

I am frankly tired of this. You have been told numerous times to follow specific instructions but you have not. You still keep uploading .jpgs when we have asked you to upload them as .png instead. You do not follow the file naming standards we have set. You do not give proper summaries, licensing nor categories. If you wish to continue to upload here any longer then you will have to listen and do what what we ask, exactly. Please upload .png format files only from now on. Failure to do so will result in you being blocked indefinitely. No more chances. This has been your final warning. Jellotalk 00:04, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
