User talk:Mikoro

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Mikoro!

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!

Uploading format

Please upload images in .png format, not .PNG. Thank you! ^ht 14 02:59, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

And you please name the sections of talk page comments. Thank you! Mikoro (talk) 02:45, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Careless of me... thank you for reminding me. For some reason, I did not put up a header. ^ht 14 03:01, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome, and I will remember to load files in "png" and not "PNG". And by the way, how come you are on hiatus? MIKORO (talk to me) 03:04, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I am planning to be on leave... I generally am limiting myself from editing. ^ht 14 03:06, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh, that's a bummer. Are you, or should I say WERE you an administrator? MIKORO (talk to me) 03:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I am still currently an admin here. Is there any way I could contact you besides here? The talkpage is meant for discussing Archives-related material. ^ht 14 03:08, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

You can email me. MIKORO (talk to me) 03:53, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

DP185

The image you uploaded is exceptionally blurry, and appears to be a blown-up version of a much smaller image. If someone reverts your upload, you should not restore your upload if they don't happen to respond as quickly as you want them to. Starting an upload war on the Archives is just as unacceptable as starting an edit war on Bulbapedia. Additionally, it's highly advised that you keep discussions related to the Archives on the Archives. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 20:20, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I understand. It's just that I don't know where people get HD pictures from before the episodes they appear in air in the U.S. Do you know? I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 03:25, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Ash's Charizard side images

Those two images that you uploaded newer versions of, I wanted to say that you did a good job with them as their quality is very good and not blurry. Pattyman (talk) 15:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Pattyman! I finally figured out how to get HD images. And by the way, I have a satisfactory image to upload for Ash's Charizard. Do you have the right to unlock it? I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 18:33, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't have the right to unlock the page. However, I am glad to hear that you were able to get an image for Ash's Charizard. Pattyman (talk) 23:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Logos and matting

Try not to upload any pics with any kind of logo on it. I've been noticing that most of the photos you have uploaded recently are of spec-quality and are good, but nearly all of them have logos and a few also have visible matting (i.e. black bars) as well. Use whatever photo-editing software you might have and clean the pics up if they have any kind of visible obstruction on them. That kind of work is appreciated. --Hmdwgf (talk) 23:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay. Do you have any suggestions for image cleaning software? I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 17:51, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Photoshop. There's nothing better, in my opinion. For removing logos, all you have to do is use the lasso tool, create a complete shape around the logo and press delete. You can do many other things; and you can download the software for free for Windows or Mac. --Hmdwgf (talk) 19:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll start doing that more often from now on. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 02:25, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Generation V move files.

Please don't just re-upload the move images for Generation V into the "<move> V.png" file—that causes them to lose their animations. The images need to be moved in order to retain the animation. Thank you. --Carmen★ (Talk | contribs) 22:20, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Understood. But how do I do that? I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 22:27, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

You'll have to wait a while before they're all moved. After that, you can upload your images. --Carmen★ (Talk | contribs) 22:28, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. Can you let me know when I can start? I will save up all of my images before then. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 22:29, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

There are a few that I accidentally skipped but were already taken care off (such as Assurance and After You), so you can start on those in the meantime. Pattyman (talk) 23:07, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Licensing reminder

Hey Mikoro, this is a reminder to add licensings after the summary of each file. Thanks. ^ht 14 13:53, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

What are you talking about? I've added licencings for every single image I've uploaded so far. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 13:56, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

According to the summary pages of your most recent move uploads, that is not the case. ^ht 14 13:58, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

When I click the upload link, after typing the name and the summary, I go to the license section and click "screen shot from a Pokémon game". Are you sure you're not just overlooking anything? I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 14:02, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Hmm… that's odd. I'm definitely not overlooking it though, as you can see here. ^ht 14 14:06, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I see what the problem is. When I click the option when uploading the file, it doesn't automatically transfer to the file description once it's uploaded. It has to be done manually. I will start doing that. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 14:10, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. One more thing, there's no break between Summary and Licensing. So a sample structure would be:

==Summary==

Insert summary here

==Licensing:==

Insert licensing here

Thanks again. I really appreciate your help. 14:14, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

It's no trouble. Also, I will stop putting extra returns between the licensing and summary sections. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 14:20, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mikoro, this is just another reminder to please add the licensing after the summary of each move image. The licensings seem to be missing whenever you blank the file page first, so just add them manually. A tip is that instead of blanking the redirect, uploading the image, and then adding the summary, you could instead replace the redirect with the summary and licensing, and then upload the image onto the page. --Carmen★ (Talk | contribs) 23:25, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay I will, sorry about that. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 00:53, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Weather images

If it's possible, it'd be nice if you could add images of the weather itself (and probably get a better view on the Primal/Mega weather of Hoenn trio) and the overworld images. Eridanus (talk) 15:32, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

I'll try my best. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 17:35, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Small correction on my side; the thunderstorm is on Route 119 (as part of the cycle). Eridanus (talk) 17:51, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Fire Fang

Could you please reupload it once everything's sorted out? The image seems blurry. Eridanus (talk) 16:38, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

That was the best quality I could get it, sorry. It seems that the screen intentionally goes blurry when the move is used... not really sure why. I could be wrong, but it's just how I happened to notice it. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 17:57, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Swagger (Gen VI) image

Generally, images get tagged for deletion if they aren't used on any page (except for talk pages). The Swagger image you tagged was used on the page of the move itself. I saw that you created a discussion for it that went unanswered. If the discussion was unanswered, you should speak to an admin and they'll see what they could do about it. Pattyman (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Impossible battle environments and users

I've noticed a number of your move images depict Pokémon or Double Battles in battle environments they do not appear in, and Pokémon using moves they cannot learn. While I would rather have these than no images at all, can I ask that you try and upload images that could be taken during regular gameplay?

Also, since I know you're getting these from YouTube videos (with permission), could you point out to me which videos these are coming from? --SnorlaxMonster 02:49, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
