HD Images
Ok? It was perfect you did that 21:30, 25 April 2013 (EDT)
 * I don't think I'm able to do that (I lack the proper tools) but what I do instead is take screenshots directly from an emulator playing games. The problem is the ridiculously slow speed the emulation runs at, which means I can't be bothered to play too much.

Heads-up
You might want to consider uploading images, and then putting them to an article. --- 11:54, 26 April 2013 (EDT)

Image size vs. quality
Hello, I've noticed that you have been uploading many images which were captured from, as you stated, from YouTube via VideoLAN. The apparent benefit of this is the size, which in most cases is more desirable. However, size cannot match up to quality. Lately, you have been capturing 1000 x 1000px + png images which are of blurry quality, and tagging the good quality jpgs for deletion. Many of the older files are already of very decent quality, and replacing them for huge, but poor quality versions isn't what we encourage here. Additionally, some of your screenshots appeared stretched/squished up from the originals, which may be the nature of the YouTube video which it was captured from. We appreciate your good faith, but it was best to let you know about this. Thanks for your understanding

About mariowiki archives,
Hi HD guy! I couldn't help but notice your little conversation with Steve. Here's a solution! There's always the wayback machine! They've got allot of pages archived for all kinds of websites! :) Hope this helps!

Do you have any press material files/discs/kits?
Thanks --Hiccup (talk) 14:52, 17 March 2016 (EDT)

JPEG to PNG Policy
Keep in mind that a proposal passed a while ago prohibiting direct conversion of a JPEG to PNG, and policy was changed to reflect it. Replacing is different if you are getting the file from a BMP or other source (some imaging programs convert behind-the-scenes). Emulators generate BMPs when they render a scene, which is often saved as a PNG when the screenshot code is triggered. If your Super Mario Sunshine image reuploads are JPEGs directly converted to PNG, please revert your changes. -- 21:54, 22 June 2017 (EDT)
 * I promise that these are BMP-converted images. The HD Guy (talk) 22:25, 22 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Alright then. It annoys me when people think that PNG means higher quality. Not necessarily. PNG means that all RGB pixel data is preserved, hence why it is referred to as a lossless format. JPEG purposely loses pixel data depending on quality settings, hence why it is referred to as a lossy format. Here's a video that I think other people should see: -- 19:00, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Any Images Referenced by The Shroom
If any images are being used by The 'Shroom, remove the game category and tag the image with instead of. Talk to Tucayo and he will delete exact or near exact copies of images and change the appropriate editorials. -- 19:22, 23 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Okay, please remind me if I forget. I should hopefully remember. The HD Guy (talk) 21:04, 23 June 2017 (EDT)
