Hi Pattyman. I saw that you uploaded a [[:File:Ravaged Path.png|new version of the Ravaged Path map]], but I noticed it was a tad blurry. I was curious as to where you located the map. Maybe we could find a better version.

:I got it from the jpg counterpart (site, unsure). If you want, someone can place the {{template|bad image}} template on the png version (mentioning that it is blurry). Any ideas which sites I can get these game images from so I won't waste my time on copying the jpg ones? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 05:18, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

== Improper tagging and various shenanigans ==
Hi, whereas I appreciate the hard work you're doing, you need to start checking before deciding to do what you do. First of all, <span class="plainlinks">[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File:Ash%27s_nefarious_facial_expression.png&diff=next&oldid=112348 this]</span>, I'm not going to object about the categories, which are correct, but about the {{template|move}} tag... ''We Don't Really Need Stuff Named Like This'', it's improper grammar, the filename alone is correct.
Second, {{Red link|:File:CassidyDP.jpg|this}} (this will be brought back to life) has no links in here, but <span class="plainlinks">[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:CassidyDP.jpg this]</span> '''does''', as you see, it's linked to an user page, and they still might want it, it's not really cool to delete them. Third, but related to second, <span class="plainlinks">[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Ash%27sHatAG.jpg this]</span>, alright, it is a jpg, but as you can see, it's being used by a crapload of users. No. Fourth, you keep on re-uploading .jpgs as .pngs, an issue you've been having a lot, try not to do that anymore. [[User:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #224a9a"><b><span style="color: #2b5fc7">M</span>asatoshi</b></span>]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #118eb2"><sub><small>''talk''</small></sub></span>]] 03:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
:Doesn't grammar not count on file names (the apostrophe is not allowed on them)? As for {{red link|File:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|this image}}, I placed the delete tag to tell someone to replace the image on the pages with the png before the jpg got deleted. I was aware of it being used. I don't know if the rule was passed but I saw other users that deleted the images that were being used by some users. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 03:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
::For future reference, please don't go ahead and start doing something because you saw some other user doing it. If you see someone higher up doing something, it would be best to get clarification first so as to avoid any hassle. <span style="color:red">—<small>♥</small></span> <b>[[User:Jello|<span style="color:orange;">Jello</span>]][[User Talk:Jello|<span style="color:#3FA9D0;"><sup>talk</sup></span>]]</b> 21:51, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
