[edit] Pokémon images

Hey, when you upload a Pokémon-related image, make sure you put {{Pokeimage}} in the Licensing section, so that the bots that delete unsourced images don't delete them. You need to do this with all the images you uploaded just now. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

All right. Alvin 03:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pokemon, eh?

That's cool, we have some of the same interest. --69.232.218.27 04:31, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

A Title {{user programming-x} php-2 This user is an intermediate PHP programmer. html-4 This user is an HTML expert. .css This user can write Cascading Style Sheets.

Hey Alvin, you can use a box around your userboxes to get them to line up nicely. Just edit this page to view the source

I see you created an article for Conqueror's Quest. Dunno how I feel about that, but I think it's going to end up deleted, no encyclopedic value, or something among those lines. Personally I think it's just a bad way to advertise. Also, you should align an image to the left and make sure there is sufficient text next to it.

Also, a screenshot of something you didn't make can't be GNU DFL. I think it's Fair Use or something. Dandin1 01:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels

Hi thank you for joining the WikiProject. Being a small group currently there is still plenty of scope for influencing things and making your contribution count. We are about establishing standards for Novel based articles and writing articles that meet our own and others high standards, and to improve Wikipedia's diet of articles on Fiction books, otherwise called Novels. If you have any questions, do ask. Please be very welcome. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 09:26, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homer Simpson wins!

Joyous | Talk 18:39, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good article nominations

Dear Alvin, I noticed you removed Pikachu and Weedle from the nomination list, and I was wondering if you had removed them or were reviewing them. To sort this problem, please adding a note of what you're doing in your edit summary to notify other reviewers and nominators. Cheers and happy editting, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 22:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More good article nominations

I see you nominated Super Smash Bros. to be a good article. I suggest you review the Good Article criteria, paritcularly noting that citations are a necessity. Also, the CVG Wikiproject has a set of guidelines that would help in determining what content is and is not suitable for Wikipedia. Thank you and good day. Nifboy 00:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, that I can believe. Historically I've been very frustrated with how the article is a target for fancruft on a regular basis, but it's been amazingly calm since the most recent major changes. Nifboy 05:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mile Square Regional Park

This article has been tagged as a copyright violation. Rmhermen 02:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Angels_Logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Angels_Logo.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for counting my userboxes. You are the first to count them. Thanks again Mollsmolyneux 08:53, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from me as well, but I'm just adding some more so its a bit pointless (sorry for your trouble) --Jawr256 15:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Hi, you offered to upload images and I was wondering if you would upload another for Combusken (I saw you do one for it already, and it doesn't have an anime picture). If you could it'd be a great help, and it could be used in May's article (like AManInBlack said). It's here. If you can, thanks, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 06:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

You are a god send. Thank you, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 15:20, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Already checked, it's 19kb. If you want to find out, just search the name of the article and it'll be in the row of statistics under it. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 15:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

If it's under 30kb, yeah. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 16:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, are the first 150 cards all from the same website? Reply quickly, I have an idea. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I think I may have just found ourselves a time saver. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Well it's quite simple really. All the TCG cards you've added have exactly the same page except for the title. Instead of me writing out 150 times, I can create a template that will produce the entire page and all we have to write is {{subst:ptcg|''article name''}} and the whole page will appear. It'll save us hours, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

More or less. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

It works great, date and everything. Try it for yourself, just add {{subst:ptcg|''article name''}} to an image. You keep uploading images and I'll tag. Cheers, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Glad it works. Keep up the fantastic work, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, nice images on Max there! Just a note to say, remember to remove the italic "'"s, if you don't the links don't work. Cheers, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 17:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've been noticing a bunch of images that need to replaced around the article for a long time, but I've never asked anyone, would you mind doing it? It'll take a while, most of them are integrated into the pages so I need to crop them and put them up on photobucket. If it's okay just drop me a bell and I'll get started. Cheers, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 19:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

They're in a bunch of articles. It's mainly the lead images which are outdated. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 06:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Like Persian, it should have the Advanced Generation Sugimori art instead of the RBY anime picture. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 19:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ptcg problems

Just a note about the template, when you add this -

{{subst:ptcg|''article name''}}

Make sure you remove the italic marks! If you don't the template will not work correctly.

Right - {{subst:ptcg|Rapidash}}

Wrong - {{subst:ptcg|''Rapidash''}}

Thanks, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 10:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pokemon images

I've noticed that there are some images that either need deleted or updated with the new versions. Anyway,

• Persian.png over Image:053.jpg
• Cleffa.png overImage:Cleffa.gif
• Weedle.png over Image:Weedle.jpg
• Caterpie.png over Image:Caterpie.gif
• Cacturne.png over Image:Cacturne.gif
• Beedrill.png over Image:Beedrill.png

Cheers, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 12:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 07:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aybar

I see you are correct on Aybar's name. I saw the Wiki article listed it in bold as Eric, not Erick, so I looked it up and his name is Erick Johan Aybar. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.154.162.46 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Template update

Hey Alvin, I thought I'd let you know about the new Trading Card Game templates for the images. I created Template:ptcg2, a variation of Template:ptcg, except that it allows you to add your own source. All you have to do is write -

{{subst:ptcg2|name|Illustrator, URL link}}

The whole chibbang will appear, but remember to write the second sentence that appears manually in the box (the "Image found here" line). Happy uploading, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 16:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Quilava tcg.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Quilava tcg.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Arbok tcg.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Arbok tcg.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
