Mario anime images

Regarding the edits on the Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!, I've put the images in a "gallery" so they look nicer (If you're unfamiliar with galleries, go here). They're are useful if you want to include several images in one place, especially if you're planning to upload all those Mario anime photos (If you place images as standalones like this, see how they're all over the place?)

Also I've noticed some of your edits are experimental: Please use the "Show preview" button before saving to see what your edits look like before confirming, or if you want to test your edits, go to MarioWiki:Sandbox. Just trying to help! Mario JC

To add another image to the gallery, simply put the file name under the last one (but before "</gallery>"), like so:

<gallery>
First image file name here|Caption here
Second image file name here|Caption here
Another image here|Caption here
</gallery>

Another reason to use a gallery is so it's easier to add new images. Mario JC

RE: Mario Anime Images

I removed them because they're not necessary, because if you look at the image file summaries, they already take care of that (not to mention the logo watermarked over the photos). Sorry, but crediting your own work, or anyone else's work for that matter, is not allowed on wiki mainspace, and should just be in the files themselves. Mario JC

Filenames

To add onto what Mario jc said, you should also try and have better filenames; names such as Cid5757VAAIuvec.jpg are not descriptive and make images hard to sort and find. I moved all your uploads to better names (see here) but please keep that in mind for the future. Additionally, make sure to add the category when you upload (which can be done by adding e.g. [[Category:Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]] anywhere in the file source), as this is also makes the files easier to locate.

Duplication

Please stop duplicating files on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing. If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Don't duplicate files! There was a reason File:Mario playing game.png was deleted! File:TheGreatMissionMarioPlayer.png is the same exact image. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 05:19, 3 July 2016 (EDT)

Additionally, if you're trying to upload a clearer version of an already existing image, either use the update button or contact another user for help. -- Ghost Jam 08:05, 3 July 2016 (EDT)
