== Cover pages ==
A lot of the cover pages of mangas are incorrectly named. I have provided some examples [[Archives talk:Manual of style#Cover_pages|here]] but no one got back to me for 3 months. For the naming convention, how about the one I suggested on that talk page? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 17:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

== About the HGSS maps we have ==
Hello, I want to ask something about the location maps from HeartGold and SoulSilver we have for Kanto. Sorry for taking your time, but neither Clarky13, TwinsMetsFan, TTEchidna, CoolPikachu or Jello are here anymore (heads of Project Locations/HGSS map uploaders).
You see, back in 2010, I uploaded some maps from HGSS (like [[:File:Kanto Route 22 HGSS.png|Route 22]], [[:File:Kanto Route 2 HGSS.png|Route 2]], or [[:File:Kanto Route 3 HGSS.png|Route 3]]), while CoolPikachu uploaded others (like [[:File:Pallet Town HGSS.png|Pallet Town]], [[:File:Kanto Route 1 HGSS.png|Route 1]], or [[:File:Viridian City HGSS.png|Viridian City]]). However, we used different methods to get the maps, which causes the maps to not coincide between them. Initially, I didn't want to overwrite CoolPikachu's hard work with my own, but after talking about it a bit on [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/edit-request-s-156958/index15.html this thread], I would like to request permission to replace CoolPikachu's maps with mine, to avoid inconsistencies between all said maps, if possible. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 00:53, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
:You're more than welcome to replace them, but consistency between the images isn't really a priority. Like MAGNEDETH noted in the edit requests thread, it's more important to get location maps for locations that are lacking maps. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:58, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
== Field weather conditions images ==
Hello, I asked Eridanus about this, and although he was fine with it, I was asked to talk to you about it:
I've been working on the Field weather animated images, and had this suggestion for the description on the file pages.  Right now, each image uses an image template with the actual location.  My idea was to have this format instead, using the [[:File:Hail_IV_Field_Heavy.png|Heavy Snow file for Gen IV]] as an example:
<nowiki>{{location|Heavy snow|altlink=Hail (weather condition)|floor=in the overworld|Pt}}</nowiki>
In this example, the heavy snow found in HGSS's Mt. Silver has the same animation, so I was thinking it might be better to have this more general description, which could then be applied to a location template for each Gen IV game (including DP). I was also thinking it would match with the more general "(weather) (Gen #) Field.png" name it has as well. I know that the field weather conditions are only found in the overworld in specific locations (although rain and snow are found in many places in Generations IV and V), but I think it would put the focus on the actual weather, and not the locations as it is now.  This will allow for weather images from a specific game to apply to others in the same generation when appropriate, even if the location is not applicable (i.e. all current Gen IV images are from Pt, but the animations are the same in DP and HGSS, etc.). What do you think? [[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] ([[User talk:Jdthebud|talk]]) 18:44, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
:To be quite honest, I don't see how such a change in the summary is really necessary or an improvement. It's still saying the image is from Platinum, so it's really not generalized any more than the current format. I do agree, however, that we should only list one summary for the game that the screenshot/animation was taken from. If we want to go more general, though, we'd be better off with a summary template for weather conditions that notes generation rather than individual games. But, I don't really think that is all that necessary either. The existing summary format explains the image quite well, with significant detail.
:Another note, please do not include summary templates on talk pages. Doing so causes improper categorization, and we don't need talk pages categorized in with images. I've added nowiki tags around the inclusion so it won't cause further miscategorization. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:58, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
::Sorry about the template inclusion, forgot about the auto-categorization code in there.
::I guess the strongest point I wanted to make is that the description focus for theses images should be on the weather itself, and not the location, especially since they are not used anywhere other than the weather pages. Using the location summary template also puts the images in region map categories (i.e. "Sinnoh maps", "Hoenn maps", etc.), and they don't really belong there. To that point, the two best options may be either the new weather template that you suggested (I think there are a little less than 20 images that would use it, not including future Gen VI images), or not using a summary template at all. Both would allow the generation to be noted and prevent the weather images from being placed in region map categories. For example, an non-summary template description could simply read "Heavy snow falling, as depicted in Generation IV.", or something to that effect, with a weather category link in there.
::Thanks for hearing me out, and either way, I am good with whatever you decide to do.  [[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] ([[User talk:Jdthebud|talk]]) 00:39, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

== Colosseum menu sprites ==
I have all of the {{cat|Colosseum menu sprites}} and {{cat|Colosseum Shiny menu sprites}} here. (part [http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y530/abcboy101/Images/Colopart1_zps12e48dce.png 1], [http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y530/abcboy101/Images/Colopart2_zpsbf05f865.png 2])
Our current normal menu sprites have the corners cut off, while we lack most of the shiny ones entirely. I noticed that some of the Pokémon had two sprites: one facing left and one facing right. (I suspect the other Pokémon were symmetrical enough for them just to be mirrored.) Do the sprites facing right need to be uploaded?
I counted 918 sprites, and I know that would take forever to isolate and upload to the Archives by myself; do you know of any ways to speed up the process? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:47, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
:You'd have to ask someone such as {{u|Soulweaver}} regarding the cut off corners, as he uploaded many of the Colosseum menu sprites. He'd be more likely to know the specific reason why they have the corners in that format.
:I'd assume the shiny sprites are dominantly lacking since they weren't likely to be used for the initial reasons the others were uploaded for, but we should have them for use on the species articles. Similarly, for completion's sake on the species articles, we should have the right facing versions for Pokémon who happen to have unique ones. (I would suggest using a filename such as "File: Menu Colo 004-R.png" for them.)
:The only way to speed up the upload process would be to seek out some helpers to assist you in uploading them. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 04:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
== Official TCG Type Images ==
Since Bulbapedia uses scans of cards to create the image for TCG types, their quality and origin are naturally subject to whoever scans a card and whoever edits the image to get the icon. Would official images on the Pokemon website of each type ( [http://assets13.pokemon.com/static2/_ui/img/cards/energy-types.png] ) be of any use in any way? I'm fully aware that the images already work well enough as they are, but I just haven't really purely digital artwork of the Fairy TCG type prior to this, especially official images. I'm not proposing a change to the images used already or anything, just really throwing something out that could potentially be useful in some way. [[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 07:34, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
:I think the way we do things now will work well enough. The icons in that image are quite small & significantly lower quality than what we have. Additionally, the icons for the original TCG types aren't taken from scans, they're from the official site. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 07:51, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
== Time transition ==
Since we have on for [[:File:Gen IV Time change.png|Generation IV]], not sure if to make one for Generation V. (The problem is, time transition depends on the season [as the article says], and I don't know how to handle that; whether to make one and say which season it is or something...).

I understand (about the periods).
