Upon replying your message, in this talk page, here is my signature:

Great
WOW! You upload images like lightning! You should be repromoted to sysop!

If you didn't actually check more closely, those are just compressed images I process - all part of the image maintenance routine. This was even before I was demoted. I have other stuff to worry about, so I really doubt I'll get repromoted for quite a while. -- 23:31, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Transparency
I don't think people realize it, but when you have to cut out the white background you're cutting out small fractions of the actual colors that make up the artwork on the outer area of the render. Therefore, it leaves some sharp edges here and there. Do you know what I mean? UhHuhAlrightDaisy 18:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Before: http://www.mariowiki.com/images/archive/8/86/20100803021909!LemmyKoopa2_SMB3.png Transparency: http://www.mariowiki.com/images/8/86/LemmyKoopa2_SMB3.png

You see how before you did the transparency the outline wasn't as cut out and choppy? UhHuhAlrightDaisy 18:15, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Ah, well. That's a bit of a consequence (result of the action) in my part - but considered beneficial. You see, the majority of the artwork PNG images used to be JPG images (nowdays, we can find PNG images in the internet from Nintendo press kits easily - such as File:Yoshi_MSW.png, but not always :p. The image you showed me came from a Mario Mania page, in JPG form), or likely scanned images from other sources. If you can see in the original Lemmy Koopa image, there were defects and noise around the image; the white stuff that makes the image appear less sharp. You can see it closely by the eye, or painting the background black by using MSPaint to see the defects.

Removing the noise is beneficial, but might cause a sharpening effect depending on how much white was removed around the image. My apologizes if I pushed it too much, the editing program I used is GIMP - it's not bad actually. -- 22:42, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You need to stop adding transparency to images, seriously. And also, adding a reply on your own talk page doesn't let me know you've replied to me. UhHuhAlrightDaisy 09:52, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Mario/Peach Image For "Mario Party Advance"
You saw that as well before Lindsay151 relayed it to these parts? You've gotta tell me where was the main source of that awesome picture! --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 01:02, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't know where she gets those images - honestly! XD She has the secrets of getting good images just like I do. -- 01:04, 26 August 2010 (UTC) That heart thing - it was a long time ago. It was before the gallery website disappeared out of thin air.


 * Hmm...? What "gallery website" was this...? --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 02:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: PNG images
Hmm...I'll use that and read the guide. The image's look won't change right?

Read the last question in the guide. That might be it. -- 19:10, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Cool! But the monster is still hungry! I hope he won't eat all my folders! (: Thanks again!

Okey, just to be sure can you check out if this file is alright?

Whoops. Sorry for the delay. You compressed the image completely it seems. Congrats. :p -- 03:32, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Block T
Hi! I just wanted to know, "are normal users allowed to put block templates if the person is really blocked or no?"
 * On the talk page? Absolutely. Gives a bit of relief from the staff repeatedly placing block templates, and the occasion of forgetting to tag a blocked users' talk page. -- 21:29, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Image Deletion
Can You delete this image? I no longer need it now that I retired from The Shroom.

Ohai RAP! I got the info from here :) -- 01:05, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrol
Hi RAP. The staff has decided to give you Autopatrol rights because we've noticed that you generally make good edits. This doesn't actually carry any extra responsibilities or powers and is mainly intended to make things run more smoothly on our end. Nevertheless, if you have any questions about this, feel free to contact me. Thanks. 22:53, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
