User talk:Philister

Hi, regarding toy photos. Whenever possible, when we are forced to use photos taken by fans, we prefer the photos to be shot against a neutral white or gray background, and the image (via Photoshop or some other image editing software) should show all modes of the toy, in Cheetor's case, Robot and Beast modes. Thanks. --FFN 10:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll try and cobble the images together. -- (Done now!)-- Philister 13:23, 4 March 2008 (CET)

Hey, nice work. You should credit your own photos by saying something like "Photos by User:Philister". --FFN 12:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, I did. -- Philister 13:36, 4 March 2008 (CET)

Image style

Heya, it's great that you're adding a lot of missing toy images - we sure need them. If at all possible, though, they should be on a neutral white background, ie: typical toy image -- Repowers 13:11, 10 September 2013 (EDT)

I'm aware of that and newer pics I'm taking are all on a white background. Many of those you still needed are toys I photographed ages ago, though. I'll update them when I get around to taking new pics of old toys (such as I did for Trypticon), but that will take time. -- Philister 22:09, 10 September 2013 (CET)

Also, please add the necessary details in your image descriptions, such as links to the toyline, the toy (preferably anchored to the specific entry in the article), and categories to help organize things. Take this, for example. --Inkblot 09:06, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

Hotwire/Lube mixup?

Just noticed you've got Lube photographed with Joyride in the former's article, when it should be Hotwire instead. Same issue in Hotwire's article, too. Checking your website, you used the same Nebulon in both Joyride and Slapdash's reviews.

Just a head's up!
