User talk:Crikko

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Crikko!

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

Manual of Style The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives.	List of Admins All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives.	Tagging Guidelines 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!

Hey

Hey, it's nice that you're uploading images, but can you upload them as .png instead of .jpg? Png is preferred over jpgs because its of higher quality. Be sure to tag the images with their proper categories as well. Jello^Talk 17:16, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Also, {{i-Fairuse-screenshot-anime-character}} is used only for recurring non-main characters in the anime... ^ht 14 20:37, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Please use lowercase extensions for your files so it's .png and not .PNG. Also, make sure the images get used somewhere on Bulbapedia. Thank you. Jello^Talk 17:56, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so far for what you've uploaded. Remember, no .jpgs for screenshots and to add a summary and categories to the files you upload. Jello^Talk 20:16, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome :) I'm trying to be useful to the community. User:Crikko 14:28, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the uploads again, but just a reminder, no PNGs, pngs. ^ht 14 21:44, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, if you've read the site notice above, it says that the maximum image size is now 1080 x 1080 pixels, so your newer uploads will have to be shrunk down. Please upload within that limit next time. Thanks. Jello^Talk 19:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, thank you so much i haven't read it ;) Crikko 11:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Question

If you don't mind, could I ask you where you get your lovely giant pictures from? I was wondering if I could borrow what ever source you use for images. Thanks if you can help~ --Psy_ライダー☮ 03:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
