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.
- 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)
- Who cares? What person who visits this website is going to look at the website and look at my images and say "well i see the picture, but i still have no idea what it is" after they read the text at the bottom of the image in smaller size on a page on this website? I am not concise about my image names because I don't want anyone to find them and use them for other purposes but me. I may seem like a control freak, but that's who I am.

- 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)
- Just because it was a long time ago, doesn't mean you get to forget. Maverick Nate 03:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Nate's away atm
I've searched the Archives, including deleted revisions, and I can't find "your" image, and I've deleted the new duplicate you uploaded. In future, if you have a problem, don't blank the page. That's just stupid. — THE TROM — 10:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Why? He copied my image, deleted it and then put his own rip-off of my image on the website. You should have deleted his image, not mine. --Hmdwgf 21:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but that's the thing. I looked through your deleted contributions, and I didn't see it there. In any case, it doesn't matter who uploaded it, as Bulbapedia and the Archives are community projects. I suspect that this was one of the cases where you gave it a silly filename and Nate reuploaded with something more appropriate. — THE TROM — 22:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- After reading your post to Nate, I've given you a cool-down block. That was not acceptable at all. See you in five days, with a clear head. I'm not enforcing a block on the 'pedia just yet but if you bring this over there, I will. Let's keep things civil, alright? — THE TROM — 22:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Categories = Important
Please categorise all images you upload, as you upload them. Thanks. —darklordtrom 01:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake. --Hmdwgf 20:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Screenshot from where?
Screenshot from which movie? —darklordtrom 09:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- Any better? --Hmdwgf 00:50, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Sources
You must put a source on every image you upload. Taking images from websites without giving credit is considered stealing, and we don't want to get Bulbagarden in trouble. Please put a link back to the site you got it from on each image you upload. Thank you. Maverick Nate 01:25, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- OK. I'll do that. Now leave me alone. --Hmdwgf 18:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Play nice.Try reading CoC because Maverick Nate is just giving you some advice. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 23:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- I know that, I didn't ask for his advice. I know what he was talking about, he didn't need to tell me. I didn't insult him or anything like that. I just told him to leave me alone. --Hmdwgf 06:10, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- You obviously didn't know, or you already would have been doing it. Maverick Nate 12:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- I did know. I only responded like that so you would get off my back permanently. Because you didn't respond to my rather abusive comments much eariler, I thought you were decent enough to respect my wish that you were to leave me alone. I did not shout at you and I did not insult you, and I did not curse at you. I just told you to leave me alone. And if there is a problem with what I am doing, please ignore it and let another administrator tell me what I am doing wrong. I will talk to any administrator of a certain problem except specifically you. You are the last administrator I want to speak to, even if you are a decent person. And now that I have said what I need to say, lets just drop this now pointless and stupid argument already, shall we? I do not like confrontation in any form, synthetic or real. And if you want an apology for what I wrote earlier, then fine. I'm sorry for writing abusive language on your page. --Hmdwgf 06:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Duplicates
Please do not re-upload images under a different name, as it makes it confusing. -MasterKenobi 23:28, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
