Fresh start for the upcoming full launch of PidgiWiki, and Route One's impending future! ...wait. That last part isn't good...

About those resized images

You do know you can still access the older revisions of the files right? Besides...we may be overhauling the size limit to something more bigger and reasonable. JelloTalk 17:35, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I know, it's just that since CQ is already saving the images, it'd save time and server stress. And, how's that size limit thing going, btw? I know Nate put up a thing on the admin forums, but I haven't heard anything since.--immewnitythemew 18:37, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, I haven't heard anything since either, but Nate and the others are considering raising the limit. We'll see how it goes. JelloTalk 18:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Kay, thanks!--immewnitythemew 19:25, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Anime art

Have you ever come across clear anime art of characters like Gary? Other characters have artworks too, but we never see them on anything else besides Japanese scans. (Examples include Jessilina, Zoey, Nando, Young Volkner and Flint) tc²₆tc26 10:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I think I've seen Gary. Don't remember where though. It should be saved on my PidgiWiki upload server.--immewnitythemew 12:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

The screenshots you're uploading

Shouldn't they be in .png format? For the sake of retaining the quality in the thumbnails...it's up to you though I guess. Jellotalk 00:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

JPG to PNG is frowned upon, unless transparency is to be added.

The scan

I DID get it from the source, I accidentally uploaded the smaller version by mistake. D: Thanks for uploading the bigger one though, I was all over the place. Jellotalk 02:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh. LOL. :D--immewnitythemew 02:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Gigaiasu art answer

You asked me when I uploaded a new version of Gigaiasu : "what was wrong with mine? it's more fully cropped and compressed." Well, 1st, it DID NOT appeared as transparent when I opened it in several programs like PhotoShop or PhotoFiltre. 2nd, there was still the tag that the image was NOT transparent, so I thought yours wasn't transparent... I later figured out that image software does not shows transparency of PNG images as they only show GIF transparency...Sorry if I caused any problems ^^' TokoyamiTheDark 21:07, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I didn't notice that tag. Sorry!--immewnitythemew 14:39, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Confused?

How come here, it says I was the the uploader of the current image, but over here, it says that you are the person who uploaded the image? Should I just try to re-upload it? - Vhayes1992 17:37, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

The Archives and BP are on 2 different servers, so it's just a syncing issue, it'll fix itself soon enough. Jellotalk 18:06, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
I dunno. This happens a lot with Vhayes and me. A lot.--immewnitythemew 00:32, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Ranger Art

Do you know of any site that has bigger Ranger art? More so of like the first Ranger? If you can help thank you~ --Psyライダー 19:37, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'm not too sure which art is from what, but if this is Ranger 1: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7mKtODZDFhBiCM:http://www.pokemonations.com/pokemon-ranger1.jpg&t=1

You're in luck. I found a few high-res ones, and I'm currently uploading the raws to PidgiWiki (my little image wiki). I'll upload them here when I'm done cropping and stuff. What should I name them?--immewnitythemew 19:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I think we have some already, like File:Aria.png and File:Ranger Spenser.png, which apparently aren't categorized in the Pokémon Ranger category. I can go through and categorize them. Most are already uploaded I think, it's just a matter of finding them. Thanks though~ --Psyライダー 19:54, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, guess so. Still, might wanna check out the ones that may not be here.--immewnitythemew 20:10, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
You don't mind if I upload them here? --Psyライダー 20:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Not at all. It's an image repository for all to use.--immewnitythemew 20:17, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Sweet, thanks. :D --Psyライダー 20:20, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

YOU

I love the high-res images and all... but could you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease color-correct them before uploading? It's not that hard with GIMP. TTEchidna 01:48, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

The color is CMYK, not RGB. I can't figure out how to convert them correctly. You want them fixed, you fix them. I've repeated this like 30 times and no one bothers to listen.--immewnitythemew 11:13, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
That may be so, but we want art that accurately displays the colors. Until that can be done, I will continue to revert it back to something that is more appropriate, and I ask that you comply with that. Thanks. Jellotalk 11:28, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
*sigh* It does accurately display colors, just not using the same color scheme. Everything I'd just reverted was official; released by Nintendo, some gotten from Nintendo directly. I'm going to ask Nate for the final say, but this situation is one thing that has been pulling me away from Bulbagarden.--immewnitythemew 00:02, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Matt, I know what CMYK and RGB are. The point I was trying to make was, RGB is the only colour scheme we should be using. CMYK is meant for print and photographs, not something like this. The colours for CMYK are way too oversaturated. I've ripped my hair out trying to work with one image, to match with the RGB colour scheme, and I just can't seem to get it right. For now, it just has to be like this. I'm not trying to offend you here, I know you work hard to get us these images. If anyone can ever figure out a way to fix these images, the previous revisions are available. I hope you understand. Jellotalk 00:57, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

RB/TCG Art

Hey, wondering if you recognise theseartworks I'm pretty sure they're from Red & Blue but I'm not sure. Others from the same source as these are on cards in the base set, like http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:068Machamp-TCG.png which I took the liberty of tagging as from Red&Blue. cheers SuiScorpio 02:38, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Listen

I really hate to do this but it's been on the front page for a while now: "High resolution for Pokémon artwork will not be allowed above 1000 pixels. Further limits are still being decided upon; however, uploading above such limits will result in a block. " Did you not read that? You're being blocked for uploading over the limit here. I suggest you read up on "fair use", while you take some time off from here. There's a reason a resolution limit is being reinstated again. Your block expires in a week. Jellotalk 00:16, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey

Those scans you're uploading, are they yours? The corners seem to be cut off and I don't know if you know they're supposed to be roundy. Jellotalk 21:37, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Got them from online sellers. Cut off corners are okay IIRC, so... yeah.--immewnitythemew 21:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Guardian Signs

I'm noticing that the Guardian Signs website ([1]) has a lot of art that we don't have. For instance, this Ukulele Pichu art: [2] Some of these will need cleaning up, and I can't guarantee that I'll find all of them. I know you're good at finding web images; care to take on this task?

Mission Start: Extract the Guardian Signs images! --AndyPKMN 21:53, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Additionally, there's a flash file on the site with some sexyfine artwork of Ben riding Suicune and Summer riding Latias. Do you happen to have a flash decompiler? --AndyPKMN 22:19, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Unrelated to Guardian Signs, what is the image here supposed to be? Do we need it for the wiki? (Sorry for spamming your talk page) --AndyPKMN 23:01, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
1) I'm waiting for FANKIT to update
2) Have Suicune one big, again, waiting for FANKIT
3) Battle Shooter, IIRC.
immewnitythemew 13:57, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Its name is the Miracle Shooter, to be exact. Bluesun 19:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Alrighty Matt

I'm going to give you a piece of my mind, and to be honest, I'm sick and tired of your behavior. You are not the king of the archives, nor will you ever be. It is absolutely unnecessary for you to post something like {{delete|PNG conversion never increases quality, plus fail}}, when you can just as easily go to the talk page. Considering that it compresses it to make it look better in the thumbnail and not look crappy like your jpgs, it should be you who should just stop being an arrogant little jerk to every user who does not upload to your standards. No one wins with uploading images and some people upload differently, get over it. They're only images, get over it. You are treating the staff, regardless of their rank, like crap. Enough is enough. I don't know why you think that kind of behavior will fly here on the Archives, but it won't. I've had it with your arrogant behavior and it is going to stop, cause we're not going to tolerate it on the Archives. Thank you. --Psyライダー 04:20, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
