Featured art

Was there something wrong with it?—★Pika ³³²³ 20:37, 7 May 2011 (CDT)

First, I asked you to ask me before changing layout stuff. Second, I'm working on an announcement right now, and want the feature to reflect current main content.--immewnitythe mew 20:42, 7 May 2011 (CDT)

Oh yeah, that....—★Pika ³³²³ 20:45, 7 May 2011 (CDT)

Sorry about those files, I converted them before the server was fixed, and forgot to change it.—★Pika ³³²³ 08:39, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

It's okay. :P--immewnitythe mew 08:40, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

I'll take Mario.

Saw the article on PidgiPress.. I'd love to be head of all the mario news :D -- samm :)^{talk to me} 10:10, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

Done.—★Pika ³³²³ 10:49, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

Well, almost. I did the paperwork for it.—★Pika ³³²³ 10:53, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

I need you to create a PidgiPress account first. Look under Site Tools for more info.--immewnitythe mew 12:23, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

By the way.. I've done some searching and cannot find the artist behind Mario's art.. so Is it OK if just like Category:Ken Sugimori artwork I use Category:Mario artwork ?? So it's definately OK to upload Mario artwork? It's gonna take some time, there's obviously a lot to get through :P -- samm :)^{talk to me} 12:52, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

a lot of our artwork doesn't have a mentioned artist. If the artist is unknown than no category mentioning "artwork" is used. Instead the game's category is used, and the series' category too. Yes, it's OK to upload that stuff.—★Pika ³³²³ 13:51, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

I have a list of artists. I just don't know who did what.--immewnitythe mew 18:54, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

Remember those vectors???

I can start uploading them now, right?—★Pika ³³²³ 14:14, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

Mhm. I'm still working on getting thumbnails to work, though.--immewnitythe mew 18:54, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

Also, for 3DS screen shots, do I crop out the "2D screenshot of a 3D game"?—★Pika ³³²³ 14:23, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

If you want. Just remember that 3DS screenshots are to ALWAYS be uploaded as PNGs, no exceptions (so far).--immewnitythe mew 18:54, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

Why png only? What about that Solatorobo thing, worth keeping?—★Pika ³³²³ 19:58, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

Because right now, all of them are pixel-for-pixel versions. As for Solatorobo... delete it.--immewnitythe mew 20:10, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

Any special naming for screenshots?—★Pika ³³²³ 05:05, 13 May 2011 (CDT)

ScreenshotTitle - GameName screenshot.png--immewnitythe mew 06:18, 13 May 2011 (CDT)

Take your journey to libsvg.dll, that may be the problem.—★Pika ³³²³ 05:15, 13 May 2011 (CDT)

Already tried. Something's messed up with our version of librsvg.--immewnitythe mew 06:18, 13 May 2011 (CDT)

Would an update to mediawiki and other thingys help it?—★Pika ³³²³ 06:23, 13 May 2011 (CDT)

It'd harm it if anything.--immewnitythe mew 15:47, 13 May 2011 (CDT)

Then what will you do? Re-Download mediawiki and replace the faulty file?—★Pika ³³²³ 06:36, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

It's not MediaWiki, it's the converter.--immewnitythe mew 06:46, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

MediaWiki doesn't come with the converter?—★Pika ³³²³ 06:55, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

Nope. That's why Bulbagarden Archives doesn't support SVGs.--immewnitythe mew 06:56, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

Then where does it come from?—★Pika ³³²³ 06:59, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

We have to use a converter; I've tried rsvg, ImageMagick, and Inkscape, and no luck so far.--immewnitythe mew 07:03, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

So where does the converter come from? Can't you replace it?—★Pika ³³²³ 07:05, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

It comes from the Internet, and yes; I've tried three different ones to no avail.--immewnitythe mew 07:09, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

Use Twitter to find someone to help, again!—★Pika ³³²³ 07:13, 14 May 2011 (CDT)

Dude!

Use the preview button! It's what makes the world go round.--immewnitythe mew 20:16, 16 May 2011 (CDT)

Ah, if only there were a preview button for life...—★Pika ³³²³ 05:58, 17 May 2011 (CDT)

Featured art.

PLEASE!!!! PUT IT BACK ON VECTOR!!! D=—★Pika ³³²³ 19:41, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

It's missing from Monobook, too. Lemme find the old code.--immewnitythe mew 19:45, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

Is this (the bottom of the section) supposed to be still there?—★Pika ³³²³ 19:58, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

It all depends on administration.--immewnitythe mew 19:59, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

Back to art.... Move is a little to the left, and remove the border, it's ugly.—★Pika ³³²³ 20:01, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

Hm?--immewnitythe mew 20:09, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

In Vector, there's a 1px border, and it's up against the right edge, which doesn't look nice.—★Pika ³³²³ 20:10, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

Clear your cache, and all will be right.--immewnitythe mew 20:13, 22 May 2011 (CDT)

Just to nag you more. The vector colour should a bit be darker. =P—★Pika ³³²³ 17:06, 24 May 2011 (CDT)

Grrg. Later.--immewnitythe mew 18:31, 24 May 2011 (CDT)

1. ONLY VECTOR. 2. Really! It would look nicer.—★Pika ³³²³ 19:26, 24 May 2011 (CDT)

SVG cropping

How do I do that?—★Pika ³³²³ 06:41, 23 May 2011 (CDT)

In Inkscape. Draw a square around the area you want visible. CTRL+A. OBJECT>CLIP>SET. FILE>DOCUMENT PROPERTIES> FIT PAGE TO SELECTION.--immewnitythe mew 16:16, 23 May 2011 (CDT)

Template:Border-Radius

Need more roundy border templates for other things, Some people don't wand to use pidgi-borders. =P—★Pika ³³²³ 11:49, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

Try {{border-radius|pidgi=no}}.--immewnitythe mew 12:07, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

File:File-Ranger Guardian Signs logo EN.png

That was MediaWiki's fault BTW.—★Pika ³³²³ 19:49, 4 June 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, yeah, blame the software. :P Also, JSYK, there's a better HeartGold logo on the UK site.--immewnitythe mew 21:10, 4 June 2011 (CDT)

Trainers

You put us out of buisness now, the only thing we (commonly) [or] (are allowed to) do that they don't is block people.—★Pika ³³²³ 13:59, 6 June 2011 (CDT)

Oh trust me, there's quite a difference.--immewnitythe mew 14:00, 6 June 2011 (CDT)

I can't because you won't let me:

Edit Interwiki data

I don't because it's not needed:

Batch delete pages

Edit other users' CSS files

Edit other users' JavaScript files

Import pages from other wikis

Mark others' edits as patrolled

What we both do:

Change protection levels and edit protected pages

Delete pages

Move files

Move pages

Overwrite existing files

Upload files from a URL

View deleted history entries, without their associated text

The rest is just stuff. Also, Interwiki for da E3DB.—★Pika ³³²³ 14:10, 6 June 2011 (CDT)

Feel free to edit Interwiki stuff. MediaWiki stuff I don't want you to edit. Also, there is a hierarchy system; administrators will always have a higher say over Trainers. Not to mention that Trainers are still being worked out.--immewnitythe mew 14:14, 6 June 2011 (CDT)

Now then...

...about that categorization page?—★Pika ³³²³ 15:55, 6 June 2011 (CDT)

Which page?--immewnitythe mew 16:16, 6 June 2011 (CDT)

You were supposed to make one =P—★Pika ³³²³ 16:32, 6 June 2011 (CDT)

Accents? Don't accents have issues?—★Pika ³³²³ 05:46, 7 June 2011 (CDT)

Featured art for the ? time

Change time, it's June. =P—★Pika ³³²³ 16:18, 8 June 2011 (CDT)

It isn't monthly, but I'll change it tomorrow.--immewnitythe mew 22:13, 8 June 2011 (CDT)

Tomorrow was 11 days ago. Also, remember to update it every MW update too.—★Pika ³³²³ 13:51, 20 June 2011 (CDT)

Oh yeah. :P Sorry.--immewnitythe mew 13:52, 20 June 2011 (CDT)

oh MY GOD THAT TEXT AND BORDER LOOKS UGLY =PPPPPPPPP—★Pika ³³²³ 18:53, 20 June 2011 (CDT)

Jeesh, give me time to fix it. I had to go to a meeting.--immewnitythe mew 19:10, 20 June 2011 (CDT)

I'm gonna freak out here, could you move the FA in the side bar so that it's cantered? Thnx. =)—★Pika ³³²³ 19:16, 22 June 2011 (CDT)

Done.--immewnitythe mew 20:25, 22 June 2011 (CDT)

Ugh. Inkscape is really starting to annoy me.--immewnitythe mew 16:15, 2 July 2011 (CDT)

Try converting the PDF to SVG, if you can figure out how without Inkscape.--immewnitythe mew 16:19, 2 July 2011 (CDT)

I'll research once my internet starts working again. =P i.e. it took 5 minutes to get this reply up.—★Pika ³³²³ 16:38, 2 July 2011 (CDT)

Categorization of Categories

I started categorizing categories in their respective series. Anything related to Pokémon on Pokémon, anything related to Zelda on Zelda, and so on. But I just thought of the possibility of doing wrong on this, hence I ask if I should continue on this without any specific direction. Also, am I free to change a few category names? For example, simply "Anime" for Pokémon anime artwork is quite misleading. And by chance, are there any other things I could do for the categories? For example, should I put content in them -- so that they will not be non-existing articles anymore? If so, I guess I can follow the style of already existing category articles, right?

Just a check-in, in order to not cause any unnecessary work. :P Ash Pokemaster 05:12, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

If you're creating a pokemon category, crate it as such: The following are artwork of [[bp:{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}|{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}]]. [[Category:Pokémon]]

Like that. It will automaticaly change to the pokemon's name. Also Zelda is The Legend of Zelda. But you can redirect if you want.—★Pika ³³²³ 06:01, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

PidgiWiki:Categorization—★Pika ³³²³ 06:05, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

Basically, it all comes down to me having a flawed categorization system to begin with. I have not changed much in how I categorized, and that's an issue. Ideally, images should be categorized with the game it is from, the series it is from, who it is... etc. Categorize everything you possibly can for an image, and I'll check and make sure that all is good. Eventually, I'll come up with a template, but that'll be once categories are established.

As for the anime thing, use Category:Anime for any anime, Pokemon or not. This is where the series category would come in handy. By using Special:MultiCategorySearch, you can input Anime and Sonic, for example, and get Sonic anime images.

Also, as you mentioned, Pika3323, some of the names can be easily disputed. So let's get on a consensus here. Pokémon. The Legend of Zelda. Kirby. Super Monkey Ball. Sonic. Mario. Sound good?--immewnitythe mew 07:54, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

Oh and BTW Mario = Series, and character = Confusion.—★Pika ³³²³ 08:46, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

Ah crud. Then, let's make the series Super Mario Bros.. Sonic will then be Sonic the Hedgehog, and Kirby... what should Kirby be? Kirby Kirby Kirby? :D--immewnitythe mew 09:02, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

New, non-Pokémon Affiliate

I just wanted to know if you'd like a new, non-Pokémon affiliate. The Zeldathon Network is a Zelda community website that, in addition to 24/7 gaming streaming, has frequent charity marathons that have been wildly popular, and we'd love to be able to work with you! Let me know as soon as you can :)! --JB2448 17:16, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

Currently, I will have to decline. I will talk it over with the appropriate staff members, and then we will consider affiliation.--immewnitythe mew 19:36, 13 July 2011 (CDT)

..................................!

OMG you make us do so much! =/—★Pika ³³²³ 08:47, 2 August 2011 (CDT)

LOL. :P--immewnitythe mew 08:48, 2 August 2011 (CDT)

XP To make up for it, once I'm back home, I'll see how much of the Dropbox I can empty. =)—★Pika ³³²³ 07:30, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

Dang, I forgot about the Dropbox. lol --immewnitythe mew 08:36, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

Categories by language. a must.—★Pika ³³²³ 08:48, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

Okay. Also, I noticed that I haven't been infoboxing correctly. Don't worry about that for now; I'll spend a day where I go through every file and categorize correctly.--immewnitythe mew 08:55, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

For lang, is it abrev or whole.—★Pika ³³²³ 09:11, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

Whole for description, short for title.--immewnitythe mew 09:18, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

Sega is not nintendo BTW. May want to add a parser.—★Pika ³³²³ 07:01, 5 August 2011 (CDT)

I still need to get the Sega logo uploaded. :P--immewnitythe mew 07:03, 5 August 2011 (CDT)

CMYK, can it be fully resolved?

Sooner or later we have to find a way that works properly, any ideas now?—★Pika ³³²³ 07:41, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

No idea.--immewnitythe mew 08:07, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

ahem

If you really care... this. (Yes it is RED)—★Pika ³³²³ 14:20, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

I know, I know! I have school and LOTS of homework! Give me a break. :P I'll get to it this weekend if I can.--immewnitythe mew 17:57, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

In response, I'll say that there have been no Legend of Zelda articles posted on PidgiPress.--immewnitythe mew 18:04, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

But, but!!! It's to late to say that SS is releasing in november.... =P—★Pika ³³²³ 03:45, 22 September 2011 (PDT)

A few questions...

Hey immewnity, I have a few questions regarding lots of different things. First, we want card scans, yes? Where do we get them from? I know of a few sites (not Pokebeach) that have quite good ones, but is it okay to use their scans? I know some sites have issues with that, but in the end, no site actually owns those card scans, so it should be alright to 'borrow' scans from other sites, shouldn't it? Also, wouldn't it be better to upload png's for artwork instead of jpg's (we've got Bulbapedia and GTSPlus.net, but then you've got the "stealing" issue again, so I'm not sure.) One last thing, what do you want me to write for non-Pokemon categories? And... that's it (I think) ~たかはりい 01:54, 28 September 2011 (PDT)

1) No card scans. Stock images yes. Eventually, yes to scans, but... you'll see later this year/early next year.

2) Only if it originated as a PNG or a PSD. We aren't adding transparency or removing transparency for anything. No file type changing unless absolutely necessary.

3) Uh... whatever you want. :P Try sticking to basically what's on the other ones, but you can change it up. As long as it makes sense, it's good.--immewnitythe mew 04:04, 28 September 2011 (PDT)

Basically, for question 2, give me an example.--immewnitythe mew 04:06, 28 September 2011 (PDT)

Bulbapedia has their own things with artwork, they don't give a damn whether it was a cheap background removal.—★Pika ³³²³ 11:54, 28 September 2011 (PDT)

Exactly. They create transparency to fit their ~~needs~~ wants.--immewnitythe mew 18:46, 28 September 2011 (PDT)

About the powers...

90% chance I don't do anything until at least November. =P —★Pika ³³²³ 16:43, 5 October 2011 (PDT)

Hahaha, okay. :P BTW, looks like we won't be getting full art boosters from EP. :( --immewnitythe mew 17:46, 5 October 2011 (PDT)

2000 - 46,580

There has to be a way to make that happen. So a calculation that would tell you how many files to go.—★Pika ³³²³ 16:48, 9 November 2011 (PST)

Ooh, I got an idea!—★Pika ³³²³ 16:49, 9 November 2011 (PST)

*cough*SkywardSwordArt*cough*. I left it at that number so I'm not the one to upload the 2,000th file.--immewnitythe mew 18:22, 9 November 2011 (PST)

? What? So, ya gonna use it?—★Pika ³³²³ 03:36, 10 November 2011 (PST)

I'm saying that you could upload the Skyward Sword art if you would like. And I'm not sure if I'll use it.--immewnitythe mew 06:00, 10 November 2011 (PST)

Scratch that. Used. --immewnitythe mew 06:03, 10 November 2011 (PST)

What art?—★Pika ³³²³ 11:56, 10 November 2011 (PST)

The ones I told you about over two weeks ago.--immewnitythe mew 15:11, 10 November 2011 (PST)

8MB files

HALP I'M UPLOADING FILES OVER THE 7MB LIMIT!!!—★Pika ³³²³ 12:52, 10 November 2011 (PST)

What files? I'll get the FTP server set up for you if needed, so just tell me what.--immewnitythe mew 15:11, 10 November 2011 (PST)

Let me check if they're on images.pidgi.net—★Pika ³³²³ 15:22, 10 November 2011 (PST)

Alright. They should be under approximately the same names as in the UK site. I simplified a few down, though.--immewnitythe mew 16:27, 10 November 2011 (PST)

How to set up a wiki

Hello! Can you help me set up a wiki? I really need help with the MediaWiki part. --Triphoria 16:39, 7 December 2011 (PST)

Sorry for the late response. What host are you using?--immewnitythe mew 18:22, 10 December 2011 (PST)

If you're going to try Wikia, by the way, don't. No matter how familiar you are with it due to adminship, the format is far worse than the basic MediaWiki one.--immewnitythe mew 18:25, 10 December 2011 (PST)

Sorry for the wicked late response. I'm going to use MediaWiki. --Triphoria 19:34, 23 December 2011 (PST)

MediaWiki doesn't host. Is there another site you're using to put MediaWiki on?

Tsk!

You forgot the ~~~~ on the last response! =P —★Pika ³³²³ 07:25, 24 December 2011 (PST)

Whatever. :P --immewnitythe mew 09:49, 25 December 2011 (PST)

I'm BACK!

Long time no work for me :P I've been on a hiatus for the past few months, really focused on my work. But just finished my exams for a few months, so I can be back to work! Is there anything you need me to do or anything? Also.. I have a new email.. just incase you need to get into contact with me! -- samm :)^{talk to me} 07:00, 15 January 2012 (PST)

PidgiWiki:To-do list Err try there... But there's 2 less areas(sites)(wikis) of this place and a new one! But other than that the same a before.—★Pika ³³²³ 17:57, 15 January 2012 (PST)

Hey! You're back! :D Right now, I'm focusing on the new site, which I will email you about... once I know your new email. Can you shoot me an email at immewnity[at]pidgi[dot]net? I'll give you the link and stuff for the new site.--immewnitythe mew 08:25, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Or actually, if you changed your email in the PidgiWiki preferences, I can send it to you. Not sure if you did, though.--immewnitythe mew 08:27, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Yes, I changed my email in my preferences.. but it's sammjh[at]hotmail[dot]co[dot]uk Also, could you possibly resend me the Resources list? I've changed computers and lost it! Oh, I've also re-downloaded Dropbox onto my computer too! -- samm :)^{talk to me} 10:08, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Email sent. I haven't been using the Dropbox as much as I should be, though.--immewnitythe mew 10:33, 16 January 2012 (PST)

The dropbox isn't very tidy, the "THE BIG FOLDER OF SUGIMORI ART!" folder was uploaded already, and a few bits and bobs.—★Pika ³³²³ 12:05, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Yeah, I intended on making an FTP for use instead of the Dropbox.

Obviously, it hasn't happened.--immewnitythe mew 12:08, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Delete my talkpage

Hello, I am worried about a user stalking me from wiki to wiki trying to request check users to find out my IP Address. You can help by:

Deleting my talkpage
Not giving check users to a user requesting me
Blocking the user requesting it (which is kind of overkill)

At least delete my talk... --Triphoria 08:09, 28 January 2012 (PST)

Deleting your talk page wouldn't help in this situation. All that is there is a welcome template. As for the check user thing, I'm the only check user on this site, and I will never give a user's IP away unless law enforcement comes to my place of residence and makes me. And of course I'd block them, as it's inappropriate conduct.--immewnitythe mew 13:48, 28 January 2012 (PST)

Images

You have uploaded some amazing high-resolution images! Thanks for sharing! If I may ask, where do you get them mostly...a press vault, etc.,? If you are interested in anything I may have, let me know. :) 10:55, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Hi, thanks for the compliment! Most of the images are from Nintendo press vaults: America, Australia, UK, France, Belgium, and even the Czech Republic. In addition, I have access to many other company press vaults (EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, SEGA, THQ, Square-Enix, etc.), but haven't gotten to uploading anything yet (in fact, I just got access to another one today). I've got a lot more set to upload as well. Looking from what you've uploaded on MarioWiki, it seems you've been collecting art from around the web as well! Feel free to upload any applicable artwork here; we're aiming for a complete artwork database for all games on Nintendo systems (though right now, there's more of a focus on first party and major third party games). Thanks again!--immewnitythe mew 11:07, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

I also have access to Capcom and Nintendo, but that's about it! I don't know if I have anything you'd be interested in, but I've got a lot of old school art that you just don't see anymore. Can you be my new special friend (ha!)? Icysugarspike 11:21, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Hahaha, sounds cool! Please, upload that art! We're open to anything Nintendo, and most of the press sites don't go back too far (still looking for some Pokémon art from 2004/2005 that didn't get archived). I'll bump you up to Trainer class, so that if you need to, you can rename files. And hey, if you work your way up to staff, those press site logins will be available to you. :P I'm assuming the Nintendo one you have access to is NoA ( http://press.nintendo.com/ ) and the Capcom one is Capcom USA ( http://press.capcom.com/ )? Could be Capcom Europe, though ( http://capcomeuro-press.com/ ).--immewnitythe mew 11:35, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

You're right about Capcom Europe, but it's the British Nintendo site, though. Icysugarspike 11:38, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Ah, okay, the Assets Library? They have so much more than NoA; you're not missing much at all. (though NoA's isn't a personal one, and is freely given out, so Username: guest Password: nintendo)--immewnitythe mew 11:40, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Thanks! I was under the impression this was a Pokemon media site. Mainly instead, all Nintendo, huh? Icysugarspike 12:41, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Yup, anything Nintendo! It started off as just Pokémon, but it's since evolved into all Nintendo, and later maybe all video games. Also, were these Stadium images from http://www.rpgamer.com/games/pokemon/pokestad/pokestadart.html ? Quick Google search found that. If so, would you mind if I upload the originals from there?

Also, if you don't mind, I'd rather not have that manga picture on here; I'll upload it elsewhere on the server, though, so you can still have it on your userpage.--immewnitythe mew 17:24, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

I'm rather intimidated now to upload anything. The standards here are quite high. Please, let me know how I can help, and sorry about the manga image. Yes, the Stadium images were probably taken from that site years ago, and have been decomposing on my hard drive for years. Icysugarspike 18:24, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Hahaha, nah, continue uploading! The only thing is that we strive to get the highest quality available, so the closer to the original image as possible, the better. For example, if there was to be an image taken from Nintendo's press site on Flickr, the one from the press site would be the one to upload, as compression, resizing, and image corruption could occur. Really, upload everything you can, and if a better version can be found, it'll be uploaded.

Moreover, if the original (or closest to it) is a JPG, and someone takes that and saves it as a PNG, it doesn't change quality, but it does increase file size. Thus, it makes more sense to upload the JPG, as it's the same quality for less file size; the server can only take so much!

As far as the manga image goes, it seems to be more of a user image (i.e. for use on a userpage), and currently I haven't been able to exclude those from the total file count. I've uploaded it to the images subdomain, and I've added it to your userpage. Sorry for any discomfort and confusion!--immewnitythe mew 18:56, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Er, I'll actually keep those Stadium files as-is; I nearly forgot that the server has unlimited space! Good thing, too, with how much is yet to be uploaded!--immewnitythe mew 19:06, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

How refreshing it is to find someone nice and understanding on the internet! I'll see to it that I don't step on your toes too much! ;) Icysugarspike 19:52, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

Yeah, we're all pretty welcoming here! Treat yourselves to some refreshments over on the... oh wait, Internet, I forgot. Virtual cupcakes and donuts haven't been invented.

Yet.

I'm not quite sure how you're going to give me a press site log in if I make it up to staff. I'm guessing it's in the form of a username/password, but that Square Enix one does sound mighty nice! I've been feverishly uploading stuff (please be kind, not all the images are knock-your-socks-off quality, but there were all I could find) and am hoping I'm working my way up to staff. The images you've shared are top notch, and I'd like to return the favor. Icysugarspike 08:25, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

I... I don't even know what to say! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I've been lacking in uploading a lot, and you've covered far past anything I would have been able to find. This is absolutely amazing. In fact... look at recent changes (and shoot me an email!)!--immewnitythe mew 08:46, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

May make more sense if I put my email: [email protected] --immewnitythe mew 08:47, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

Done (and you're very welcome). Just curious. Have hi-res images of the Great Ball and the Master Ball? Can you upload them? They're the only two major ones you're missing. Icysugarspike 09:14, 21 June 2012 (PDT) Administrator rights? Aw, shucks! Thanks. Icysugarspike 09:18, 21 June 2012 (PDT) If I'm not here, I'm usually over here. Icysugarspike 09:34, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

Nothing at all for Great Ball, and Master Ball, well, it's not amazing, but... *uploaded* --immewnitythe mew 09:52, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

Sorry to bother you. Was wondering if, time permitting, you could upload remaining Diamond/Pearl character art (hi-res, of course)? Even Bulbapedia doesn't have any large images (trainers, gym leaders, some of the more obscure Pokemon, etc.). I haven't been able to find any myself. Icysugarspike 09:32, 22 June 2012 (PDT)

I think I uploaded everything I got. Most of the uncommon ones came from the Australian press site.--immewnitythe mew 20:21, 22 June 2012 (PDT)

I'll check the Australian one some more. Thanks for getting Fingers off the recent uploads. I really wanted it only on my user page, but didn't know how to get it off uploads without deleting it. Thanks! Question: must images be digital quality or can they be scanned (seeing as how a lot of the older ones I've got come from Japanese guide books, etc.)? Icysugarspike 04:29, 23 June 2012 (PDT)

Scanned versions are fine, though of course digital is preferred when possible.--immewnitythe mew 05:46, 23 June 2012 (PDT)

MicroGroup Game Review?

What is this an image of? Unreleased Pokemon from around the time of the release of Gold/Silver? Nice find! Where do you get this stuff? Icysugarspike 07:59, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

Yeah. It's questioned whether these were to ever be Pokémon, or just creatures imagined by Sugimori for the cover. This I found by finding a smaller image of the cover, and a LOT of reverse image searching.--immewnitythe mew 08:01, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

Ooh, please explain to me this foreign concept "reverse image searching" lol! What is it? Some trick of the trade? Perhaps, if you teach me, I can find some unusual stuff, too. I could write a book about the lengths I've gone to to find rare/obscure images...:) Icysugarspike 08:05, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

Reverse image searching is a really cool thing. So far, I've only found two sites that do it, but it's really nifty. Both Google Images and TinEye do reverse image searching. Basically, upload an image, and it will search for that image in other sizes. With Google Images, click "More Sizes" on an image in any regular search to do the same.--immewnitythe mew 08:07, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

Google Images took an eternity to upload the small image I uploaded, to the point where I gave up. TinEye worked, but so far my images are the largest. Thanks, though, for sharing. :) Icysugarspike 08:32, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

Sometimes you'll have to fiddle around with them; neither are perfect. Google Images has a better database, and searches better IMO. Sometimes, a good page refresh fixes everything!--immewnitythe mew 08:34, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

Too big

Can't upload this 21MB picture of Barrel Blast's cover art. Should I shrink it and try again? Icysugarspike 08:33, 3 July 2012 (PDT)

Save it as a JPG. At the resolution that's at, it probably won't matter that much.--immewnitythe mew 09:39, 3 July 2012 (PDT)

Quick minor question

I know this might be a sensitive topic, but I was wondering where you got this image from. I was planning to use it for a project, and I was just curious. Thanks in advance. KarasuG 14:13, 3 July 2012 (PDT)
