Your User Page Colors
Green-and-blue doesn't make for a great contrast, and it's kind of hard for me to read. Do you mind altering the colors of your user page for better contrast? Thanks! - 00:40, 20 November 2017 (EST)

Re:Uploads are JPEG to PNG
Hi, my uploads of Paper Mario artwork were PNG to begin with. I got them from the source in the upload description if you want proof, they were already PNG. The only exception is Kooper, because I found the existing JPG artwork looked better and was slightly bigger so my bad on that one. -- 16:09, 1 December 2017 (EST)
 * OK that makes sense. What about the ones that are bigger than what's already here though, like most partner and boss art? Also, in regards to the JPG to PNG thing, I've had this thought for a while but I'm not sure if it's been answered, what's wrong with uploading them as PNGs when that makes the process of uploading actual high quality PNGs when they are found easier, since you can just update the existing file instead of uploading a new one? -- 16:26, 1 December 2017 (EST)

Can I re-add the artworks that are at least more desirable than the current tiny/small ones? (Peach distress, Goomba King, Kammy etc that obviously weren't copied from the wiki to begin with) -- 12:03, 5 December 2017 (EST)

Reverting edits
Hey. Just to let you know, when someone's done a spate of edits you can actually undo them. Just click onto the page history, go to the last "good" revision, click edit, and then save. It's basically the rollbacking ability we have, just more steps.
 * That sounds like you're just clicking the undo button, what you need to do is click on the timecode for that edit. When you go to edit you should get a message reading "Warning: You are editing an out-of-date revision of this page. If you save it, any changes made since this revision will be lost."

Thanks
Hey, just want to say thanks for helping out with my screenshot qualities. I may have a way of getting higher quality screenshots for NES, SNES, GB, GBC, and GBA through my father's Retron system, but the setup for doing so is rather...convoluted and may not happen any time soon. So, until I'm able to meet policy on my own, thanks for the help. :) 22:43, 20 December 2017 (EST)
 * Despite possible Retron mistakes, the image quality would be much better than my capture card can produce. The issue is it saves to an SD card, which my computer does not have a slot for. My dad's computer does, though, so maybe I can work things out with him sometime.
 * The program I am currently using is called Debut Video Capture Software made by the NCH Software company, with my capture card being an AV to USB, if that helps. Not sure which one is the real issue when it comes to quality, or if it's both, but it's easily accessible and my computer can (barely) run it.
 * While I have no other way of capturing N64, GCN, or Wii footage and screenshots (and I can upload from the Wii U directly), I can use my father's Retron for the NES, SNES, GB, GBC, and GBA screenshots, which the Retron automatically takes at pixel-perfect size, so I'll see what I can do with that when I need to. DS and 3DS is a nope though :P 11:31, 21 December 2017 (EST)

Hey
Hey thanks! I'm going to be very busy today, as it is Christmas, but I'll look into those softwares you suggested to upload the rest of the pictures. Thanks and, by the way, happy holidays, too!

melonDS
it's apparently out and I think it's the only emulator that can support local multiplayer. Maybe update your screenshot page? 18:59, 25 December 2017 (EST)
 * well what about using it to take local multiplayer screenshots? is there any other emulator that can do that? 22:44, 25 December 2017 (EST)

Is it Okay if I Upload Images taken from my Phone?
I asked the same Question and someone told me to ask you this question. Ever since Miiverse has shut down, I've lost my work into trying to put in images I post on Miiverse, so I decide on Uploading images taken from my iPhone which was my only way around it (I own an iPhone 4, so the quality shouldn't be too bad). The sample I have is for Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64. I understand if you do not accept, I just really want to help out articles that are in the need for images.

RE:SWF JPEG screenshots
To take screenshots, I put the games on full-screen and use the print screen function. I then paste them in Photoshop and save them for web as JPEG. I don't think it's possible to take screenshots directly from the SWF file, unless I download and use third-party software which I don't want to do. -- 18:07, 31 December 2017 (EST)
 * I think I understand what you are talking about, but I do not have the Flash files (.fla) so that I could access the contents of these games. Only the Adobe Player files (.swf) that run them can be downloaded from the net. Or do you mean there are other official Flash players out there which allow me to take screenshots? I can't find them... -- 06:56, 2 January 2018 (EST)
 * I'm honestly out of the loop with this. Have merely downloaded and installed a new version of the Flash Player. Now, how do I effortlessly take screenshots on a .swf file? I can neither do it on browser nor on the separate file, unless I use the Print Screen function. -- 12:01, 2 January 2018 (EST)
 * Got it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I have the time to retake the screenshots, and it's a pretty tedious work at that. Should the image-quality template be put to the existing images? -- 09:41, 3 January 2018 (EST)

That page no longer covers the Super Mario 64 obstacle; as such, one of the new pages should be used for its info. Probably Iron Ball, as that's also used for various similar objects in Bowser's Inside Story. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:24, 3 January 2018 (EST)
 * Well that info has been removed from that article like 4 times already, and short article =/= stub. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:38, 3 January 2018 (EST)
 * But they don't even look the same. The SMW ones have the little finger holes in them. Because they're bowling balls. Boulder, Chomp and Big also act relatively the same. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:46, 3 January 2018 (EST)

This Image
Hey. Can you please reupload this image for me so it's not all messed up and the entire item is shown? If you need the original picture it's from page 8 of |this. Thanks.

Mario is Missing! images
Hello, could you upload an image of each cities from the MS-DOS version (especially the red links)?

Image Quality
Hey would you mind reuploading this to improve the quality?
 * Hey you see for the original upload of this picture how it has a Rainbow Tourney logo on the bottom? Is it possible that you can reupload that specific picture so the Rainbow Tourney logo is there like it is in the original?
 * Oh, shoot. Ok.

RE: Concept Art Category
Branching it out makes it more convenient for viewers. I can understand wanting to keep them all in one place, but if a user were to look for some concept art, a separate category would save them the trouble of having to sift through hundreds of pre-release/unused content images. 03:29, 18 January 2018 (EST)


 * I wouldn't be opposed to splitting the pre-release and unused content images, and if there are any overlaps as you mentioned (pre-release content found unused in the game), both categories can be included on the file page; if there are too many overlaps, though, then it's probably not worth splitting them. Considering we have Category:Fair use art and not "Fair use art images" (which seems a bit redundant), I don't think renaming Category:Concept art is really necessary. 07:22, 19 January 2018 (EST)


 * Seems fine with me. 22:12, 19 January 2018 (EST)

NSMB sprites
I noticed you posted an image quality template on the New Super Mario Bros gallery, mentioning to use a certain editor to rip the spirtes. I've been messing around with it, but can't seem to find a way to do so. On top of that, I'm fairly certain some of the existing sprites, such as File:BlueKoopaTroopaNSMB.png are already at their best quality.-- 16:29, 7 February 2018 (EST)

Actually
Since it was a screencap from youtube, that would be youtube's video compression, not jpeg artifcats, if that makes a difference.-- 14:26, 9 February 2018 (EST)

Hi
We haven't talked in a while, so how are things going? 19:18, 11 February 2018 (EST)

About the surfing images
I already uploaded them, and then you edit conflicted me. Which image will we use now? - 21:27, 17 February 2018 (EST)
 * Well, I assume that’s usual for spotlight. Well, we'll use your image for GBA and mine for 3DS, then. - 21:31, 17 February 2018 (EST)

SMG2 image request
Hello, could you upload a image of the missions "The Secret Wall Jump" and "The Chimp's Score Challenge"? Thank you.
