Revision as of 12:00, 11 May 2006
Apologies about the pheonix image but i never claimed for it to come from me. Please DO NOT keep uploading the image to a different location. I have reverted back the edit to link to the other version and put your image up for deletion. I also added your credit to the cimage that should be used. As for the battle of the ressurection ship image i just reverted to a previous version that was there before you uploaded yours. --Mercifull 02:49, 13 April 2006 (CDT)
Image tagging
You should only mark images as "cropped" if they've been significantly cropped to focus in on a particular person or scene, or to get rid of an on-screen logo. A few pixels off either side needn't be mentioned. --Peter Farago 22:02, 7 May 2006 (CDT)
Aah, okay, gotcha. --Fordsierra4x4 22:05, 7 May 2006 (CDT)
Uploading images
Can you please please please please please "upload a new version" of an image which you have a HD copy of rather than uploading in a new location. Otherwise it means there are duplicate copies of images and if we then delete the old image name then we lose all history behind it. --Mercifull 02:42, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
- Aargh all this uploading is so complicated! Can i just make the screencaps and give them to someone else?! :P --Fordsierra4x4 20:59, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
- Please. It also saves us the trouble of redirecting every reference to the older image. --Peter Farago 22:30, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
- Okay, no problem - when i upload an image that i know already exists, i'll just 'upload a newer version' but the ones i added just a few minutes ago, i dont know if they exist or not - so i just uploaded them into wiki limbo! --Fordsierra4x4 22:34, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
