Your scans are fantastic, but, when the images are already at the {{tt|standard name|standard name is mostly the card page title without spaces, 's, or punctuation}}, i.e. [[:File:Latias3POPSeries7.png]], those typically are already decided on the ones we want. If they aren't in their standard name, go right ahead and replace them, (especially the ones with numbers in the name, like [[:File:006017 P HIKOZARU.jpg]]) but, if they are in their standard file name, I'd like you to wait off on adding them to the pages until we decide on which one is better, and tell me that you have a different scan of card "***". Could you do that?

When we move them to the standard names, it typically means the scan is good as is, and it is unlikely to be replaced. If you could, try to focus on replacing the small Japanese images we have, please. The over 1000 numbered files can be found [[:Category:Images from the Japanese card database|here]]. That is our biggest concern for card images as of yet.

for instance, the card image name standard. It is page name, without spaces and punctuation. You should know this by now. We have also, official romanizations for 70 of the 156 new Pokémon: Tsutarja, and Meguroco for instance. Card image pages are formatted in a specific way as well. The summary is the article name, and the images get the Pokémon category and the set category.You must follow our standards, or else you won't be here for long.

:I'm trying to, but I just don't understand what is a 'standard'. I do format card image pages but I don't understand the 'summary is the same as article's name', Is this a new rule?[[User:TokoyamiTheDark|TokoyamiTheDark]] 22:51, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

::Note I felt ill not long ago, so I had to leave my computer after uploading these. I now know what you mean. It is true that image uploading was banned to everyone for a few weeks, but if I try to put 'Jouney Partners' on the tags, the links is red and says 'Page does not exist'. Is it normal?

::::Thanks! I'm recently having a hard time with high school, especially in the middle of Autumn, when the whole class is sick and your parents still send you to school despite being ill and tired :S  But I know what is formatting and how it can be done. It might seems weird but... Thank you for warning me.[[User:TokoyamiTheDark|TokoyamiTheDark]] 23:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
== Hi ==
Hi Tokoyami, it's great that you're uploading scans for us, but I've noticed you do a lot of self-advertising in the summaries of the files. Please understand that, when you upload your work to a wiki, it becomes fair game for anyone else with the same creative commons license as us to use the same work under the same license. Working on a wiki isn't about getting all the credit or making a name for yourself, it's a very selfless thing to do. There are countless users who do the same thing as you, scan things themselves and work hard for the good of this wiki. When you upload something, your username is there attributing the work to you. If someone chooses, they can click on your username which will then take them to your page where you can advertise all you wish, but please don't force it on other people. If after reading this, you choose not to upload your work, then that's up to you. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Thanks. <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> 17:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:I understood. From now on I will just upload card scans without any comments refering to my website. All card scans I post are mine, so I don't think I need to 'advertise' anymore.
I also learned about your userpage. That's sad, since your userpage was way cool, and it seems people are too lazy to do their own userpage.[[User:TokoyamiTheDark|TokoyamiTheDark]] 17:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
== Uploading over scans ==
I appreciate you providing scans but when we already have them and yours doesn't really substantially improve the quality (in actuality, the quality is worse), you can't just upload over a perfectly good scan just to have your site linked in the summary. Thanks. <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> 04:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:Oh, ok. I understand for my site linking in the description. But, I don't understand what do you means by saying my card's quality was worse than the previous ones. The SR Reshiram has a strange feeling when you touch it, as the texture of the lines of the card aresensible by touching, and the 'foil' used was quite strange. Since my SR Reshiram scan showed those kind of 'foil' I wanted to upload it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. [[User:TokoyamiTheDark|TokoyamiTheDark]] 16:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
