Images
On images taken from stories that are drawn (as opposed to photographs), please include all knowable artist credits and identify the story it comes from. As an example of this, I've modified the information on your Twin Twist picture accordingly. (And, uh, I uploaded a larger version from another source, but that's more due to the image quality freak in me than anything official.)
Going forward, somewhat more precise filenames would also be appreciated. Otherwise, your contributions have been quite solid. --Monzo 01:49, 10 January 2010 (EST)
- Thanks Monzo. Just starting to take advantage of some of my knowledge to help the wiki grow. Appreciate you cleaning up my mess. I'll work on improving. Cheers! Colin --Fairplaythings 02:21, 10 January 2010 (EST)
- If you want an easy cheat sheet, our image policy is more meant to instruct than scold.--RosicrucianTalk 02:25, 10 January 2010 (EST)
Covers
Why are you uploading covers under two different names? Image:Titan-NewOrderSC.jpg and Image:Titan-NewOrderSC2.jpg, for instance. --abates 15:18, 17 January 2010 (EST)
- New, clear versions were uploaded to replace older, blurry versions. However, prevented from copying over original, which would have been preference. Suggestions? --User:fairplaythings 15:18, 17 January 2010 (EST)
- I'm confused. You have copied over the originals. If you look at the file history section on Image:Titan-NewOrderSC.jpg, you can see that it shows that you've successfully uploaded a new copy of it and overwritten the old version. You've also uploaded the same image as Image:Titan-NewOrderSC2.jpg though, which is where I'm confused. --abates 15:32, 17 January 2010 (EST)
- Attempted to copy over original blurry image with the new image image:Titan-NewOrderSC.jpg, but for some reason it simply returned to the original blurry image and indicated I'd provided an update. Stumped, I opted to create an "SC2" file. Any idea why the attempt to copy over the original didn't take? --fairplaythings 15:35, 17 January 2010 (EST)
- It actually did take, it's just that your browser cache is stuck on the old image. Next time, try right-clicking and choosing "reload image" (or clicking on the picture, then reloading), and it should clear out the old pic in favor of the new one. --Jeysie 15:47, 17 January 2010 (EST)
- Opened in separate browser and see what you're saying. Apologies for the amateur mistake. Have returned to revised original image. The SC2 image can proceed to oblivion... --User:fairplaythings 15:58, 17 January 2010 (EST)
