I just noticed there are 3 sprites of Roxanne, and all are being used... what should I do? Also, there are Pokémon in gif format (e.g. {{Red link|:File:288.gif}}). Should I delete those?

If the image could possibly have a use in the mainspace, such as an anime screenshot, then it should not be tagged for deletion as a personal image.

Okay to replace the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:KyuremEXNextDestinies96.jpg Kyurem EX ND 96] with the english [http://www.ebay.com/itm/130638180175?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp5197.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D130638180175%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1#ht_912wt_970 photo]? {{unsigned|Bluefinancier}}

:You removed some categories, yeah? Those categories are the Japanese expansions from which the cards originate. The plan for TCG is to have an expansion category for every expansion, English and Japanese. However, the way I do categories is the reason why they weren't created. I wait for all the images to be in there. Take a look at Moomoo Milk. Your edit was changing the Japanese set expansion to two categories about the Adventures manga characters. Why would manga characters' categories have anything to do with a card? (I'm not trying to chastise you...I just want you to look a bit broader at what you are doing when you do it. It prevents a few edits that should never happen.) That's about it.

Can you please delete the Garçon and Waitress VS images and then reupload the correct versions (the one with the correct skin tone) under the same file name?

Is hiding/unhiding revisions from vandal users/spamnots fall under the same category as tagging spambot pages for deletion (the latter I shouldn't do)? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 05:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
:Personally, I just wouldn't because there wasn't anything offensive with that whole spam session. That's the primary reason for hiding revisions. I'm not going to tell you ''not'' to do it (it's not really my place to), I just wouldn't personally spend my time doing it if it isn't necessary (AKA, offensive visibility; liable information like someone's home phone number/address, etc.) ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 05:50, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

== Item artwork category ==
I see you added [[:Category:Item artwork]] to the Muscle Wing image I just uploaded. Looking at several of the images in [[:Category:Pokémon Dream World items]], I notice that some have that category and some don't. ''My'' first assumption would be that they don't necessarily need it since the DW category is itself categorized under Item artwork, but I don't know if all those images actually do need that category...or if there's some logic that says ''some'' need it and others don't. I don't know this answer, so I just wanted to let you know there may be more out there that may need fixing.

==Quality scans==
So I'm trying to scan some of the cards from XY but I've noticed that my scanner doesn't get as high quality a scan as what others' have. Nothing major (except on some mirror holofoils where all text is incredibly blurry), just the Pokédex data under the illustration is a bit blurry. Is it cool for me to upload over the Japanese cards with mine, even though the quality isn't on par with most other English cards? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 20:10, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
:Email me a scan that you've done so that I can see the quality. Make sure you are scanning at 600dpi. Anyway, I'm never fond of doing work just to do work again later. Scans are mostly there for artwork, and the language can wait until we have highest quality of English scans. I'd rather not have scans uploaded just to have to have scans uploaded again later.

== Pokémon Adventures Italian manga ==
Hi, I have just written a message to Ataro, since he is the Head of Manga, but I noticed now that he is on a hiatus, so I thought it would have been better to ask someone else (On Pokémon Central Wiki we are used to do this, I don't know if here it is the same, if that is not the case, I'm sorry, I won't double message the staff anymore).<br>I noticed that the Italian covers of the manga were yet to be uploaded, so I just did it, I wanted to ask if I have named them correctly, as well as if I have edited the file pages correctly. I used the English and French cover as a reference, I hope I didn't mess things up.

I pointed it out earlier [[Category talk:Ken Sugimori Pokémon artwork#RGB artwork|here]].

:Images need to be forced to update most of the time. That's why we leave them to be moved until the English scan is uploaded. Additionally, the scans from Rock Carolina aren't good enough for BREAKpoint. Scans need to be done by our own users (Generations was an exception because it wasn't released officially yet) with the resolution and quality requirements that each other scan receives. That Chikorita is going to have to be replaced later anyway, because it isn't good enough for our purposes and doesn't belong to us, so I would prefer if we weren't uploading their images ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 05:08, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

==Re: Some quick notes==
Hey Maverick Nate! I've been scanning some Pokemon cards of mine and thought I would upload them for the wiki (seeing how a lot of them are missing), so it's been pretty fun! :) I love contributing any way I can!
I actually didn't know about the 1280px image size restriction and was only aware of the file size limit, so I had been downsizing my scans and compressing them just to meet the 2mb requirement for use on the website. Would you be able to link me to the FAQ or page that has the information on image restrictions, etc.? I can't seem to find it lol. The original scans are very large to include as much detail as possible (for accurate preservation purposes mostly) so that's the reason the dimensions are as big as they are. But if you need the image size to be smaller, I'd be more than happy to oblige! Just let me know!
I guess I might as well ask, but is there a particular reason behind the image size limit? I understand the file size limit of course, but I'm curious about the dimension size one. Oh, and sorry about the initial "JPEG" naming of my image too. I must have left it that way by mistake. Thanks for informing me to use JPG instead of JPEG for extensions. I didn't know about that either, so I'll make sure my uploads use JPG from now on! :)
Thanks again!  [[User:King Kerog|King Kerog]] ([[User talk:King Kerog|talk]]) 09:18, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
:Ahh, so that explains why I couldn't find it, lol! And the point about not wanting to provide counterfeiters with super high resolution scans makes total sense. I can see why that rule would be in place for TCG scans at least. Perhaps the rule is just outdated when referring to all types of images? Like you were saying, maybe the rule listed on the main page should be revisited, or at least clarified if it applies only to specific types of images, e.g., TCG scans.
:Out of curiosity, I went looking for images with large dimensions and there are ''a lot'' uploaded. An example being: [[:File:Kotobukiya Iono and Bellibolt Naoki Saito.jpg]]. It's quite large at 2,893 × 4,093px, but it would also seem wrong to alter official art from the original source (Official website/twitter/etc.) just to meet the 1280px requirement. So I think your theory is right. Either way, to be safe I'll resize my scans to 1280px for now and if things change I'll upload the high res compressed versions!
:To answer your question about my collection: I have quite a lot of WotC cards that are in good condition. I think I have 600-700 cards? I don't remember the exact number, but it's all my collection from when I was a kid. Oh, and I definitely agree that it would be redundant to upload '''every''' reprint of each card lmao. When the only difference is one small symbol in the corner, it would be a total waste of time. I wasn't planning on uploading Base Set 2/Legendary scans if they had no changes from the original print.

== Would a scan be a better image for this card? ==
Hi, I have a copy of [https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:DragoniteEmeraldBreak43.jpg Dragonite (Roaring Skies 52)] (the Cosmos Holo version, if it matters) and I'd like to scan it for the Archives. However, I'm unsure if my scan would be necessary, because the existing image seems to be of good quality. The only things that my scan would offer over the existing image are the fact that it's a scan instead of a digital mockup, and it's in English instead of Japanese (which I don't think is necessary?). Should I leave it as is, or upload my scan? [https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:VictiniEXPlasmaStorm131.jpg Here's an example] of what my scans look like. Thanks.

== Re: Personal scans ==
'''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

:As long as you are trying your best to adhere to the advice, that's all I can really ask. I know sometimes other issues make it not reasonable, so just do what you can!
:We prefer option A. We like to preserve the history of the image in a transparent way so uploading over the old and adding the new tags is the way to go. Hope this helps!

== Link templates ==
A few days ago, there was a discusssion in the discord about people being confused about which link templates are actually avaiable on the archives as opposed to bulbapedia. I sugeested having a page similar to {{bp|BP:LLT}}, so I've written up a draft with available templates, how to use them, and examples. Only thing is I'm unsure of how to submit it for staff review. Should I create a page in my userspace similar to on pedia, or should I just send you a text file? I hope you can review this page soon so it'll be a help to editors. Thanks! →<small> [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTe]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|pig999]]</small> 03:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
:To be honest, I trust this enough for you to publish it at [[Archives:List of link templates]] from the get go. I think any review that I'd do could easily just happen there. I look forward to seeing it!

::Thank you for your trust. I've included most of the templates from [[:Category:Link templates]], although some templates might be missing due to being uncategorized. Additionally, some templates on BP were never created on the archives, such as {{bp|template:pal}}, {{bp|template:gal}}, {{bp|template:al}}, {{bp|template:hi}}, {{bp|template:rf}} etc. (Not that they have to be created, since their use case on the archives is pretty low compared to BP, but just letting you know.) [[Special:Diff/889480|The page is now live]]. Please feel free to let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist. →<small> [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTe]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|pig999]]</small> 07:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
