I apologize. I wanted to submit images but I am still confused if I am doing it properly. I thought I was doing it correctly but apparently I wasn't. I think I need to reread the guidelines and posting techniques. I hope I am replying to this post correctly. | I apologize.

:I only issued the warning to get your attention. It seemed as though you were ignoring one of our staff members. As for uploading, this isn't like a file sharing and hosting website ({{wp|Imgur}} or {{wp|Photobucket}}). For older images, we likely have it uploaded already. {{SITENAME}} is a bit more restrictive about potential duplicate uploads. To find images categorically, read the blue box. The green box is about how to deal with {{tem|aboutfile}}. We don't need to do things [[MarioWiki:Once and only once|more than once]]. The template {{tem|galleries}} contains all known galleries of {{SITENAME}}. If your upload is a different format than the one you found, it is likely a replacement, or goes against [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|our policy]]. The rule prohibiting submitting JPEGs converted to PNGs is relatively new. This also applies trying to force transparency onto JPEGs. This doesn't apply to trying to replace an older JPEG with a clean PNG version. That's acceptable. I recently did this with [[Special:ListFiles/Wildgoosespeeder|Donkey Kong Country images]] ([[:File:RopeyRumbleGBC.png]] replaced [[:File:RopeyRumbleGBC.jpg]]). --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 22:36, 20 October 2017 (EDT) | :I only issued the warning to get your attention.

::First off, [[:File:Brickhit.png]] will be deleted because [[:File:Mariobrick2.png]] is mirrored identical and the latter is sharper and cleaner. Second, you converted to PNG to apply transparency, which is [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|against policy]] and a [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive | ::First off, [[:File:Brickhit.png]] will be deleted because [[:File:Mariobrick2.png]] is mirrored identical and the latter is sharper and cleaner. Second, you converted to PNG to apply transparency, which is [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|against policy]] and a [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 27#Artwork Transparency Issues|passed proposal years ago]] prohibits applying transparency to JPEGs. JPEG isn't capable of transparency, so it must be saved in a format that supports it. So the images you want to insert are [[:File:Marioball.png]] and [[:File:Mariobrick2.jpg]]. Thirdly, you should be able to, unless you [[MarioWiki:Autoconfirmed users|aren't autoconfirmed]]. If you are autoconfirmed, you should be able to edit galleries. Just follow the pattern of [{{fullurl:Gallery:Mario artwork and scans|action=edit}} other image embed examples]. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 01:40, 21 October 2017 (EDT) | ||

:I wonder if doing a [https://images.google.com Google Image Search] in a particular way will find the original source. Click the camera icon on the right side of the field where you would type in a search query. Then upload the image and Google will try to find matches (it also has a URL search option but you won't be using that). The search isn't perfect. It is best to not upload saved works that you modified later. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 15:28, 22 October 2017 (EDT) | :I wonder if doing a [https://images.google.com Google Image Search] in a particular way will find the original source.

Hey, TheVixter, can you tell me where you got [https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Toadetterun2d.png this image in question], by any chance? Because it almost looks the same like what we saw "status wise" related to ''Super Mario Run'' when we see about representing Toadette in the game. Let me know soon; thanks for your time. --M.
