Part 2 | |||
== Manga images == | |||
CoolPikachu has informed me that he is not really fond of your rather small, bad-quality images, as several pages have them and all appear pixelated. As such he would like it if you began uploading clearer manga images. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 05:13, 12 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
:<s>To be honest, I've been trying to upload clearer manga images. It is very hard to get the ones that he/you want(s). I uploaded {{red link|File:Briney Barboach Adventures.png|the Barboach one}} to see if I was doing it right (size wise)</s>. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 11:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Disregard that message, I just started to upload the higher-quality images to replace the bad ones. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 19:01, 16 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Replacing JPGs with PNGs == | |||
I know that you have been warned in the past about reuploading JPG files as PNGs. I hope that you have been getting the PNG files from the source and uploading them, not simply converting the file. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Yes, I have been getting all of my pngs from source except for the game images (from appropriate sources as in flib for anime). I'm not sure where to get game images from. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 13:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Just another reminder == | |||
To check if the image is used in Bulbapedia. I don't care if it's being used on a userpage, however, if it's being used on a template or on a page in the mainspace, I want it changed and then tagged for deletion on the Archives. Maylene's sprite was used on a template. Cheers --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 19:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I constantly check where the images are being used before I move them. I didn't know that the template containing Maylene's sprite was locked for editing. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 20:17, 9 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
::I seem like it sometimes, but I don't bite. You can ask me or Jello or anyone on the Bulbapedia side to change it. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 20:42, 9 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Ok... == | |||
Ok, ok. Before you continue uploading. I need to say this: stop for a second. Unless they're really notable, then it's not needed to upload separate images for all of those Pokémon. It's best to just do it in one big image, especially considering that since they're so small, they'll look ugly when put in the template. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:19, 14 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I agree with you on that part but you forgot to put the é in Pokémon. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 21:22, 14 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
== The show/hide function == | |||
It's not for that, or for hiding duplicate images. It's for hiding vandalism and personal information that may find its way on the Archives. Only use it to hide that sort of stuff, thank you. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 05:05, 31 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Ok [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 05:32, 31 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
== A few things == | |||
Don't ever use MS Paint to change images. Also, don't convert jpgs to pngs, I think you've been told this before. Lastly, those manga images are fine. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 02:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I haven't converted any jpgs into pngs lately (including the manga image), I got my own images. I have one question; if I want to change images, what's a good suggestion instead of MS Paint? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 03:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
::You don't change images at all. You should get them from scanning them yourself. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 03:41, 6 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::Final question: What did you mean by converting jpgs into pngs? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 03:48, 6 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::Opening a .jpg file and save it as a .png file. You've been warned about this before, that's what he was talking about. [[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>]] 03:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::Yes, I have been warned. I just wanted to know. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 03:58, 6 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
== {{Cat|Rivals}} == | |||
Just curious, why did you create this huge category when the most of the categories can be simplified with who is in the picture, rather than a large broad category? I don't think it's really needed because of the subcategories, however I want to hear your reasoning please. Thank you. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 06:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
:A little addition, why just the anime? There are rivals in many of the Pokemon canon. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 07:25, 21 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
::I think the best way to use that category would be to create separate categories for each rival, and categorize those categories there, making it just an umbrella category. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::I created that category as there were some rival characters (such as Conway and Tobias) that did not get their own categories possibly due to them not being notable enough for one. There are some characters that acted as a rival towards the main characters (Angie to Ash and Butch and Cassidy to Jessie and James). I was interested in them after {{bp|Burgundy}} and {{bp|Langley}} joined the side.[[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 13:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Attention == | |||
While we appreciate your attempts to help, the regular mistakes in style and protocol can't be ignored. For the time being, we regret to inform you that we're removing your Junior Administrative rights. In no way does this mean we don't still want your help, but if you want to become a Junior Administrator again you'll have to step up your game and better follow style and protocol. Thank you. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 02:27, 24 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
:What did I do wrong? I don't get what's going on. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 02:32, 24 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
:What I was referring to is, what mistakes in style and protocol did I made? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 03:48, 24 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Bayleef jumping == | |||
I thank you for so quickly finding a better quality image of Bayleef's jump. Could you possibly do me a favour, by a) updating the other two images I uploaded (both are from the episode directly after the one you took the Bayleef shot from) or b) helping me locate the source so that I can do it myself. Could you also please reply to my talk page so that I can get your message? I would appreciate it very much. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|<span style="color:#00693E">Toon Ganondorf</span> ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|<span style="color:#D4AF37">(t</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|<span style="color:#D4AF37">c)</span>]]''' 11:27, 24 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Done. If you want to find images, I would recommend that you don't use youtube (but another site related to it without the pixelated images). [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 17:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
== File:Seafoam FRLG1.png == | |||
Just wondering, do you know why you moved {{red link|File:Seafoam FRLG1.png|this file}} from its {{red link|File:Seafoam1frlg.PNG|previous location}}? It broke the link from [[bp:Appendix:FireRed and LeafGreen walkthrough/Section 10]], and was not noticed until now, almost 6 months later. <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Blake|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>[[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]]</sup> 01:02, 6 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I moved the image because of png being capitalized as those are disallowed on filenames, only lowercase png is allowed. Other than that, thanks for noticing the problem. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 01:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Well, just changing PNG to png would have been fine, but you changed the whole format of the name, as well as the whole series of RBY maps. But you only changed the first of this series of images, which was weird so there is an inconsistency. I guess it doesn't really matter now that the images are linked correctly. I just wanted to know why it was originally moved. Thanks, <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Blake|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>[[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]]</sup> 03:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::You're welcome. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 03:07, 6 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== A request == | |||
Is it possible that you could upload one or more images of {{bp|Lance's Dragonite}} using one or more moves in {{bp|Pokémon Adventures}} manga? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:15, 26 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Certainly. But Ataro already beated me to them. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 17:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Dr. Namba's Electabuzz == | |||
I agree that it's not right, but after I read this: | |||
*Have you provided detailed information in the summary, including source information? | |||
and checked SpellOfTheUnown_poster.jpg, I thought there was no problem. Maybe the "Uploading checklist" should be revised. Thanks! [[User:Duke R|Duke R]] 18:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I wouldn't go into detail on sourcing if it is an anime screenshot or manga scan. If you're getting something from another site, such as trading cards or posters, then you will have to source them. But be careful, there are certain sites that won't allow you to take stuff from them, especially fansites such as pocketmonsters.net. Flib is an exception though. I got the Electabuzz image that I reuploaded as a screenshot. Thanks for pointing the checklist out. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 19:41, 30 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Ah, understood. I'll take care next time. Thank you! [[bp:User_talk:Duke_R|'''<font color="#0a0" face="Lucida Sans Unicode">|) u |( e</font>''']] 19:18, 13 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Animated PNG help == | |||
Do you know if animated PNG images need to be uploaded in a specific way? I've tried uploading one in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and it doesnt seem to work in either browser. It just keeps returning me to the Upload Media page, with no error messsage. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 20:10, 9 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Nope, either Marked or Masatoshi may know about uploading pngs? In fact, I was also wondering about this as well. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 21:13, 9 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Nice job == | |||
I love the way how you upload good manga images. However, one of your latest images, the one where Blue's Porygon2 uses Recycle, isn't visible in Bulbapedia. Could you fix it if you can? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:21, 17 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Thanks. The server probably needs time to sync the Recycle image, purging it can make it visible (by clicking the clock on the top right corner). [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 18:33, 17 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
==Problems?== | |||
Hey Pattyman, I uploaded a handful of images yesterday and I saw you editing them, and I just wondering if I'm doing anything wrong or anything. I'm not angry or anything. I think I'd ask even if you didn't edit them. I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 14:54, 8 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:You're doing fine. I was just fixing the links that direct the Pokémon with articles to its respective article. I was placing the {{template|switch}} on the switch images. However, there were some images that were uploaded separately instead of on their respective image. {{red link|File:Drifblim Ominous Wind.png|The Ominous Wind image}} was one of them. Other than those, you're doing a good job. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 19:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Okay, so if I'm uploading a better image of something, I do it on the image itself? Okay, thanks. :) [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:41, 8 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::Exactly. However, you don't have to write the summary for the replacement image but it is required if it's for an image uploaded. The page can be editted to fix some stuff. If you don't agree with a file name, feel free to place the {{template|move}} tag on there. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 22:59, 8 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::Ah, okay then. Thank you very much. ^-^ [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 23:07, 8 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Removing text in manga images == | |||
I've been wondering. Why exactly are you doing that? You're only supposed to remove them if it has Japanese or unofficially English translated text on them. If it comes from an official translation, then it's ok for the words to still be on there. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I thought that text wasn't allowed on those images which is why I have been removing them. Rest assured, I start removing them on the unofficial translations from now on. Speaking of that, what are unofficial translations? Is it also okay to remove text in a different language such as French or Spanish? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 04:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
::An official translation, such as a scanlation. About the other languages, it seems to be allowed, as long as it's official. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 04:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Move templates == | |||
Instead of putting move templates, try discussing it a fellow staff member when you're uncertain [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File:Maylene_Lucario_Aura_Sphere_2.png&diff=261335&oldid=253999 about an image]. Thanks, have a nice day. <span style="color:#00FF00">♫♪</span>[[User:Adyniz|<span style="color:#6699FF;">'''エイデ'''</span>]][[User talk:Adyniz|<span style="color:#99CCFF;">'''ィニズ'''</span>]]<span style="color:#00FF00">♪♫</span> 04:58, 14 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Sorry about that, I thought that it was necessary to do so. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 06:12, 14 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Reminder == | |||
If you're not entirely sure if something should be done, don't just go ahead and do it anyway. Instead, you should go and ask an active {{ar|staff|staff member}} of a higher position than you are, or even ask the {{u|Kogoro|new Archives leader}}. - [[User:Kogoro|<span style="color:#DA70D6;">'''<span class="sc">Kogoro</span>'''</span>]] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''<span class="sc">Talk to me</span>'''</span>]] - 00:51, 23 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
