User talk:Cc716

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Cc716! As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:

Manual of Style The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives. List of Admins All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives. Tagging Guidelines Tagging images with correct licenses and categories is a must. These guidelines will help you learn more about tagging images.

Miscellaneous Please read the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files. Be sure to tag and categorize all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here. Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing. When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean. Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives. Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the {{i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbagarden Archives. In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive. Please be sure that the filenames contain alphanumeric characters only. Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions. If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide.

Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!   —♥ Jellotalk 20:02, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Images

Need to have actual names. Not just a bunch of numbers. also, there are things called categories. Use them. Maverick Nate 22:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

In addition, it is preferred that anime screenshots are taken in .png form, not .jpg. That doesn't mean go back and resave them, it means when you take the screenshot, you are initially saving it to your computer as a .png. —darklordtrom 23:09, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I see you are uploading more images as jpgs. Please take your screenshots in .png form. If you are not capturing the image for yourself, and taking from another website, then that is stealing... which is bad.

Also, you must categorise your images. Here's a guide on how to upload. —darklordtrom 02:33, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

It is only bad if you don't give credit. Giving credit can be done simply by putting a link in the summary section of the upload form. Maverick Nate 05:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I've replied on my talk page. However, it is absolutely imperative that you give your images categories and licenses when you upload your images. Click on this bold red link to learn how to upload correctly and ask me if you have any questions. —darklordtrom 10:34, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
