Thanks for deleting [[:File:Girl time.jpg]]. Out of interest, if an image is worked into an article, does it count as a personal image? If so, can I upload a fourth image?--[[User:Launchballer|Launchballer]] 15:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

*Okay, but there is one problem.  When I was checking the deleted images, some of them were being used in more than just a measly 1-5 user pages.  I'm in no mood to be doing all of those fixes right now, but I'll see what I can do over the weekend (if no one else gets to that objective first). {{User:M&SG/sig}} 22:58, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

===Duplicates===
Hello, Mr. RAP! I just thought I should inform you that the user Fawfulchortles76 made a lot of duplicate gifs and images. You placed a deletion template one of those files, but you might need to do it to the rest of the duplicates. Thanks for your time! {{User:Frostyfireyoshi/sig}} 08:58, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
PS. Sorry about that demotion thing at the bottom of the page here.
===Image Compressing===
*I've been noticing that you've been compressing a lot of PNG images on the Mario Wiki.  May I ask what you've been using to pull this off, because I've never been able to figure out how to compress images.  Of course, seeing as all the compressing is on the PNG images, I'm taking it that compressing JPEG images is not possible. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 11:40, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
*I didn't mean to make you upset there.  Heck, I didn't even know that other users asked that similar question too.  Either way, at least compressing images will make it easier for some people to fully access them. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 21:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
*I got your last message and tested out that PNG Monster program on a PNG image that I recently uploaded, namely the Bullet Bill sprite from SMW 2; <nowiki>File:BulletBill-SMW2.png</nowiki>.  Interesting how one program can compress PNG images even further than what The GIMP is capable of. {{User:M&amp;SG/sig}} 11:00, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
*Well, another PNG image editing tip is that when dealing with video game sprites, most usually use less than 256 colors, so indexing them will help reduce their memory usage, while maintaining their color quality as well.  Of course, this does apply to before the PNG Monster program is used. {{User:M&amp;SG/sig}} 23:11, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
*To index images with The GIMP, go to '''Image > Mode > Indexed...'''.  Choose the maximum number of colors that the image will have (up to a maximum of 256 colors), and then select '''Convert'''.  The image will become indexed as a result.  On a side note, semi-transparency is removed when indexing images, but there will be at least '''1''' transparent color if the image has an '''Alpha Layer'''. {{User:M&amp;SG/sig}} 23:21, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
===Hello===
Thanks for creating the image compressing page. My only question is , when i drag my pics to PNG monster, this is what comes up in the Source Directory: C:\Users\Mitch\Desktop\. What should i Type then. BTW, the image I'm trying to compress is [[File:Excess_Express_Conductor.PNG|this.]] {{User:BluePikminKong497/sig}} 23:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

===Juuuuump Mode===
Hi, should this article be deleted: [[Juuuuump Mode]] I mean, its information can easily be covered in the [[Cholesteroad]] article. Its very short and can't be expanded. Also the Juuuuuump Mode is hard to get right creating alot of red links if someone tried. So how do I nominate it for deletion? Thanks!

Hey RAP! Could I (or you) remove the failed featured articles from the bottom of the FA page that failed over two months ago? I don't think they serve any purpose there after two months other than a waste of space. Thanks! {{User|Marioguy1}}

===Hello Again!===
Mr. RAP, I've recently been dabbling around in Image Licencing and stuff under Maintenance! I've found that it IS rather addicting, but I can't tell why! Anyway, would it be alright if I occasionally worked on some of the Enemy articles listed for improving? {{User:Frostyfireyoshi/sig}} 13:07, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
:OK! Um, I had a look and saw that some (Mecha-Bowser, SMG2 Enemies) are listed there but have no improvement templates such as stub, construction, etc. Shouldn't those articles be removed from the list then? Also, what is "Derivative work"?{{User:Frostyfireyoshi/sig}} 11:02, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Can you sort it out if you're online now? {{User:Frostyfireyoshi/sig}}  21:40 15/08/10 GMT
