Hi, as the self-appointed pics guy (as I probably upload the most pics here), I'd suggest that you use Photoshop to edit out the backgrounds of the MTMTE scans you upload, so we're left with a nice, white background that matches the default colour of the wiki.

I'd also advise you to use copyright tags when uploading images such as:

{{hastak}} for Hasbro/Takara-owned images such as stock toy photos or screencaps.

{{comicinterior}} for comic page scans (which apply for the MTMTE series).

{{comiccover}} for comic covers.

{{fairuse}} for general pictures relating to Transformers but not exactly owned by Hasbro, or its a legal grey area. This can be used when you upload toy photos that you didn't take yourself.

A tip for recognising artists - Don Figueroa is VERY prolific in the MTMTE series, and you can tell which works are his by by their big hands with vents on the back of them, which are his trademark. Another trademark of his is cyclindrical piping on the edges of limbs, particularly the thighs. Also, most artists tended to be assigned all the art for a particular subgroup or team.

If in doubt, use {{artist?}} and it will be added to the category of art by undetermined artists.

Finally, I would advise caution in using so many pictures from a single source, as it would be hard to argue fair use. -FFN 19:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips. I may not have time to follow up on 'em all today but I will soon. Ish.

The toy photos, FYI, are all my own. Isn't there some "I hereby release into public domain blah blah blah" template for that sort of thing? -- Repowers 19:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe we do, at least to my knowledge. You can just say something like 'Photos by User:Repowers, released to the public domain.'

I've started adding tags to the pictures you've uploaded, but I'll leave the toy pics alone now. --FFN 19:39, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
