+Before you upload a file, please make sure you have done the following:
 * Did you use a '''descriptive''' but '''concise''' file name?

 * Have you provided '''detailed''' information in the summary, including source information?
 * Have you added '''[[Archives:Manual of style#Categories|categories]]''' to your images so they can be found easily later on?
-* Have you [[Project:Tagging images|'''tagged''']] the images appropriately?
+* Have you '''[[Project:Tagging images|tagged]]''' the images appropriately?
 * Are you going to '''use''' the image on a Bulbagarden project? Is the image '''relevant'''?
