Editing User talk:Dogleader

== Italics ==

You almost got it with [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Kiddy_Kong&curid=15895&diff=2568407&oldid=2560068 this edit], but every instance of a game, magazine, or movie title has to be italicized. You got the header in the edit, which means you know how to do so, but it needs to apply to the content as well. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:54, 21 December 2018 (EST)

You also don't need to ''italicise'' [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Lubba&diff=prev&oldid=2571075 every link], just titles for games etc. Basically (as I noticed you're copying the format from other code on the page) the square brackets make the link, while the double apostophes make it italicised, so you just need the square brackets in this case. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:07, 26 December 2018 (EST)

{{reminder|2=forgetting to italicise titles}}
Please remember this. Alternatively, you can click the letter "I" icon at the top of the text box and type the name in. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:34, 7 January 2019 (EST)

== Images ==

{{imagecategory-reminder}}
[[User talk:Glb|Another user]] recently missed this as well. For future uploads, on the upload page:
*After you remove <code>{{tem|uncategorized}}</code>, it must be replaced with an appropriate category (found through the links above) depending on what the image depicts. So if it's an image from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', <code><nowiki>[[Category:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Images]]</nowiki></code> must be added in the "Summary" box.
*Please also remember to select a license from the "Licensing" drop-down menu. If it's a screenshot, "Video game screenshot" must be selected.
See also [[Help:Gallery]] on how to create and add images to galleries. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:58, 26 January 2019 (EST)

The Dixie and Kiddie Kong spirit image you are uploading already exists as [[:File:Hover Craft DKC3 GBA.png]], which is already placed appropriately. Please do not continue to upload a screenshot of the sprite we already have, thanks. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:24, 3 February 2019 (EST)

If the Dixie and Kiddy spirit image had to be deleted, then why didn't the spirit pictures for Tiny or Chunky? I uploaded Chunky's and tried to do Tiny's.
:Simply put, I didn't notice those ones. We'd rather they be a sprite than a screenshot, and since they are png images, they can be overwritten with the actual sprite, which would replace the original jpgs if they are better quality. You can probably find them on The Spriter's Resource. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:34, 3 February 2019 (EST)

It's been a while, so please read over the above again. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:25, September 11, 2019 (EDT)

If you find your image has been deleted, do not reupload it without a reason discussed with the deleter. The Tiny Kong image you are uploading is a lower quality version of [[:File:TinyKong.jpg]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:01, October 11, 2019 (EDT)

Please follow what's been explained to you above regarding categories and licensing. I strongly suggest using [[Special:Upload]] for this as it's easier, since it seems you're uploading through the text editor's upload function which only calls for a description. Forgetting next time may result in a warning. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:32, October 12, 2019 (EDT)

--[[User:Dogleader|Dogleader]] ([[User talk:Dogleader|talk]]) My mistake Alex. I just really dislike Tiny's redesign, so I decided to replace her image with the design I like.

:That's not how it works tho. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 20:31, October 28, 2019 (EDT)

{{license-reminder}}
Your files need to have a category and license as you were reminded above, not just a description. I notice you're using the upload function from the text editor, but I would suggest you use [[Special:Upload]] to do this instead as it's easier (it's labelled as "the default upload function" when you usually upload). If you do, please review the instructions you were given above. If not, then you should place the following information under your description:

<pre>
==Licensing==
(License template here)

(Category link here)
</pre>

Example:
<pre>
The gray Poison Mushroom

==Licensing==
{{game-sprite}}

[[Category:Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Images]]
</pre>

This is the last reminder; please remember this for future uploads or you may receive a warning. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:53, June 12, 2020 (EDT)

{{warning|2=[[:File:Tiny icon.png|not adding appropriate file information to uploads]]}}
You were just reminded about this. Don't simply add a description, you need to add a category and license as instructed above. Remember to also use the image you've uploaded. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:30, June 17, 2020 (EDT)

== Warning ==
{{warning|2=adding false information|overturned=yes}}
Your edit [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mini-Yoshi&curid=1332&diff=2618792&oldid=2574340| here] not only resulted in a loss of valid information, but also consisted of adding in clearly false information. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 10:03, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
:This was not false information, it was an observation. His name implies a baby (actually being called "Baby Yoshi" in Japan), so it could be a diaper. But we should have some text to confirm that. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:08, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
::Whoops, sorry. It looked like false information to me. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 10:11, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

[[User:Dogleader|Dogleader]] ([[User talk:Dogleader|talk]]) 21:15, March 18, 2019 (EDT) Is it really my opinion that Kiddy Kong has a very poor reception like I said? Many Let's Players and reviewers of DKC3 say they don't like him.
:Let's Players isn't something we refer to, but I don't think we cover individual character reception anyway. Closest we have is [[Mario#Cultural impact|cultural impact]] on Mario's page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:18, March 18, 2019 (EDT)


--[[User:Dogleader|Dogleader]] ([[User talk:Dogleader|talk]]) Alex95 and Mari0fan100, how did my edit for Mini-Yoshi's page give false information?
:It didn't. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 16:15, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
--[[User:Dogleader|Dogleader]] ([[User talk:Dogleader|talk]]) But the warning sign above says it did.

:The warning was mistaken. There was no false information, but the information isn't confirmed, either. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:10, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

--[[User:Dogleader|Dogleader]] ([[User talk:Dogleader|talk]]) 08:13, March 17, 2020 (EDT) Alex95, did you by chance see [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Yoshi&diff=2878769&oldid=2878379 this edit] for Yoshi's page?

== [[:File:Bowser Jr. and Kamek.png]] ==

This can only be a personal image if it's used on your userpage or a [[User:Dogleader/sig|custom signature]] (and should be tagged with <code><nowiki>{{personal-image|Dogleader}}</nowiki></code>). Otherwise, please don't upload simply for a talk post; just use the [[Gallery:Super_Mario_Galaxy#Artwork|images we have already]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:37, November 6, 2020 (EST)

== [[:File:Kiddy's Green Pajamas.png]] ==

Please don't crop sprites from video screenshots like this; it looks shoddy. If possible, could you upload a version of this with the background intact? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:04, February 10, 2021 (EST)

Please stop uploading [[:File:Shine Sprite PiT.png|poorly cropped artwork]]. I noticed you got the [[:File:Kiddy Kong DKC3.jpg|Kiddy artwork]] from the [https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_SNES_Donkey_Kong_Country_3_Dixie_Kongs_Double_Trouble_199/page/n43/mode/2up Player's Guide scans online], and converting a JPG image to a PNG with transparency applied goes against our [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|image use policy]], which removing the background and replacing it with white isn't far different from since it still leaves behind obvious edge pixels. If it's not something like a sprite from a NES/SNES/etc. game where cropping is easy, just upload with the original background. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:59, January 4, 2022 (EST)

== Talk pages ==

Talk pages are only for discussing changes to articles, not for casual conversation about the article's subject, so please stop putting those kind of comments in talk pages. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 19:11, July 25, 2021 (EDT)

== Smash ==

Please don't just write "Smash" when referring to the series, as it's informal/colloquial. You need to write the full term ("''Super Smash Bros.'' series"). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:39, January 7, 2022 (EST)

== Larger reuploads ==

Please avoid uploading new versions of images that are just upscaled versions of the original resolution. Larger isn't always better and can even make the image blurrier in some cases. The original image sizes are how they were in the original games, and they can be resized for an article using the "px" function if necessary. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:14, December 18, 2022 (EST)

== Duplicate images ==

Make sure to check the [[Gallery:Super Mario Sunshine|game's gallery]] or [[:Category:Super Mario Sunshine images|image category]] to see if an image already exists before uploading so you don't accidentally upload identical images. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:59, May 2, 2023 (EDT)
