Profile Pictures

Sorry, but I reverted the profile pictures you uploaded because they were not very good quality. They were all too small and low resolution. Also, they didn't portray the character as effectively as the current images did. If you want to try again, here is a guide on how to select good profile pictures. Good luck!

I gave you a heads up about how to choose good profile pictures here already up above. You are consistently uploading pictures that are way too small and thus not satisfactory. That is why people including me keep changing them back to the old ones. If you haven't edited wikis before, you should learn how to do so here [1]. We also have a sandbox for making test edits.

When you upload a new picture, sometimes it still looks like the old picture. Trust the wiki, it changed the image the first time you uploaded it. You just have to reload the page to make it appear correctly. Chekhov MacGuffin^talk 15:30, 9 April 2014 (CEST)

Hey, I've given you two notices about the profile pictures. It's starting to become a problem that you are not responding and continuing to upload bad profile pictures. In this kind of situation, all I can do as a moderator is eventually block you. Please don't let it come to that. Let me know that you saw this post and if you need help editing or understanding the manual of style guide. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 18:14, 12 April 2014 (CEST)

Fanart

We generally do not allow fanart on the mainspace wiki pages because it is unofficial and the original artist's permission is needed. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 20:37, 28 May 2014 (CEST)

Warning

Consider this an official warning for the behavior you have been showing here lately.

• Firstly, you still continued to replace Jodie's image on Movie 18's article with something irrelevant and ignore other users' reverts completely. If you want to place a new image on the gallery section, please upload a new one instead (and please make sure it's in good size and quality, with no subtitles and unofficial watermarks; the ones you have been uploading so far have poor quality).
• Secondly, when someone tells you fanarts won't be allowed on the Wiki, they mean it. One of the very few instances where unofficial illustrations were welcomed are Skyechan's explanations on the piano codes in Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, which greatly helped the readers understand them better. If one fanart is displayed just for the sake of depicting something, showing how well it was drawn, or any other purpose, it's not allowed. You can put one or two things you drew (or someone else's art if you have their permission) on your own userpage, with reasonable size. However, that's all we'll tolerate and if we find that the number of which is excessive, we have the privilege to remove them.
• Please don't edit or do anything to other people's userpages without their permission, even if they're not protected.

Please don't repeat the above actions (along with others you have been warned about before), otherwise we'll have to take appropriate measures, including banning you. If you need help or don't understand something, don't hesitate to ask us. --- Black ★ Demon 16:48, 29 May 2014 (CEST)

Tips on uploading high-quality images

I still had to revert your newly uploaded images because they're still very small. But more importantly, the image qualities still haven't met our standard, there are many visible JPEG artifacts. I'm sorry to say this, but as long as the previous version is better, your images will be eventually reverted to that version, so please pay more attention to the quality when uploading a replacement. So here are some fundamental things you should consider before doing that:

1. If the original image is better than your version in many aspects, it's better to leave it alone. If people think that your version doesn't meet the standard, it'll most likely be reverted anyway.
2. Make sure that the source where you take the screenshot from is in good quality. Usually, official DVDs/Blu-ray Discs, download files of recorded episodes or ripped movies will have much higher qualities than most videos from online streaming sites. You can try searching for those materials.
3. Don't shrink or compress the images too much, especially if they're in JPEG format. In fact, if it isn't too heavy, always save the image at highest quality possible.
4. Keep the image's original aspect ratio.
5. Make sure that your final product meet all (or at least most) of the quality standards stated here.

Final warning about images

Another moderator and I have given you multiple alerts about bad profile images. You haven't communicated with us about why you have continued to upload poor quality profile images. Our wiki policy is to ban users who are 1) unable to communicate with the moderators or other users about problematic edits and 2) continue to make edits that are overwhelmingly reverted for being unproductive. We do this because we have limited time and patience to patrol the wiki, and it's our only recourse if communication fails. I am incredibly sorry it has come to this, but you can consider this your final warning unless you can explain why you are trying to change the images to small versions or just stop trying to replace profile images with low quality ones altogether.

You have been blocked for one week for edit warring over pictures. You can't repeatedly revert war with other users over obviously bad pictures. I've told you that small pictures and low quality grainy images are unacceptable, but you still keep posting them and changing the profile picture back to them. You also posted more fanart without permission. I and Black Demon warned you about not doing all those things, and told you I would ban you next time. Don't do it please!

It's great that you are trying to communicate with us your intentions. Please keep doing that. You are also starting to get a little better at choosing good pictures; the Ayumi picture was very good, if a bit small. Remember we have this guide for choosing good profile pictures. It explains it quite a bit of detail what makes a good picture. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 18:13, 5 July 2014 (CEST)

I wonder why you are so eager to replace the profile pictures? Like I said, please consider if the original version really needed to be replaced in the first place. Also, instead of randomly upload any new picture that you found, why don't you try searching for the best shots from various episodes and various scenes within one episode, save them to your computer, then compare them to pick out one with the best qualities (size, contrast, image resolution, character's expression, angle etc.). Last but not least, compare it to the current version in the Wiki to see if it's really better. It's a tedious work and may take a while, but that's what we do to avoid pointless edit wars like this. You have to understand that the Wiki is not a competition between editors to see who can upload an image faster, who can upload more images, or whose images are being displayed. There is absolutely no reward for those, and you don't really get any more reputation. Our main goal is to improve the site by finding images that are genuinely impeccable in many aspects, even if they're not 100% perfect; who's the uploader is not important. That's the true spirit of wiki editing.

While your new images have indeed improved from before in term of quality, there are still a few problems. The most noticeable one being that the characters' facial expressions are either too exaggerated, out of character, or simply looks strange and distracting. If you search harder, I think this can be improved greatly. --- Black ★ Demon 07:46, 13 July 2014 (CEST)

No one besides you cares who uploads profile pictures. The only thing anybody cares about is quality, and as long as you keep trying to choose inferior images, you'll keep getting reverted. Trying to throw a hundred pictures you have recycled from elsewhere (and even earlier versions of the profile!) at the site to see what sticks is only making the moderators who have to clean up after you angry. Stop edit warring over profile pictures or one of the mods will ban you again for longer, as in several months.

If you don't want to be banned, stop trying to upload profile pictures for a while until you have that one perfect one that can't be beat (protip: capture it yourself from a high-res source or rip a good one from the official DC materials). Keep in mind that even good pictures are sometimes reverted, I've worked 30 minutes to take a good shot and then had it overwritten right away.

There are lots of other things to do on the wiki that don't involve profile pictures either. We have missing galleries for major episodes involving the Black Organization. Find a high quality source with no fansubber watermarks and take 12-15 screenshots of key moments per episode. There are lots of example galleries to look at.
