:English language cards are always preferred over any Japanese cards, while scanned images are preferable to digital ones, so to answer your question quickly, yes if you were to upload the scan of the card you have, it would be very much appreciated and wanted :) '''[[User:4iamking|<span style="font-family:noteworthy;color:#FF1493">4iam</span><span style="font-family:papyrus;color:#8A2BE2">king</span>]]''' 01:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC) | :English language cards are always preferred over any Japanese cards, while scanned images are preferable to digital ones, so to answer your question quickly, yes if you were to upload the scan of the card you have, it would be very much appreciated and wanted :) '''[[User:4iamking|<span style="font-family:noteworthy;color:#FF1493">4iam</span><span style="font-family:papyrus;color:#8A2BE2">king</span>]]''' 01:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC) | ||

'''Original message''': "Hi! I noticed you upload some card scans recently to replace some of our less desired images. That's great! I do have 2 requests that I hope you can fulfill with your scans going forward. | |||
* The scan quality on [[:File:EnergyStadiumNeoDestiny99.jpg]] and [[:File:CharizardDragonStorm3.jpg]] is a bit lower than we typically desire. The bottom text on Energy Stadium in particular is a bit difficult to make out accurately. I'm not confident what settings you are currently using, but I remember when I had that problem, I increased the DPI and the images started coming out in better quality. | |||
* If possible, please try and get a tighter crop on your scans. Some of the whitespace creates enough of a size difference to affect the final output of the images on mobile. We try to get it as close to the edges as possible while also still including the gaps at the corners. | |||
If you have any questions, please get in touch! Thanks." | |||
'''Reply''': Will do. I've started scanning the cards at 600 DPI instead of 300 DPI. I've rescanned Energy Stadium and Charizard, though I think I'll have to scan Energy Stadium at an even higher DPI because the copyright info at the bottom is still a little grainy. Better, but could still be improved. Of course, I'll resize them to the 1280 pixel limit. | |||
*As for the whitespace, I will try my best, however, with the holofoil cards, sometimes the added weight of the holofoil causes a bend in the card, so that even when I straighten the image, when viewed head-on, the edges are not perfectly straight. | |||
*While I've got you, I have a question about [[:File:021276 P EREBU.jpg]] (and other files like it). I'll just copy and paste what I put on the talk page: Hi, I have scanned the English version of this card and would like to upload it. Which way is the the way to go: | |||
::A) Simply upload over the existing image, change the licensing template, remove the "Cards from the official card database" category, and request a move | |||
::B) Upload the English scan separately, replace the image on the Bulbapedia page, and nominate this (Japanese) version for deletion | |||
Thanks for getting back to me! [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] ([[User talk:Porygon-man|talk]]) 05:20, 7 March 2024 (UTC) | |||
