I am new to this site and have already been warned on my behavior. I promise I'm not trying to break rules or anything, I'm just having a rough time getting used to all these posting rules and techniques. I don't meant to ignore anyone, it's just that all this forum and coding business is a little confusing. I apologize if I did anything wrong.

Hello, and welcome! When writing game titles, please remember to italicize them by adding two apostrophes to either side of the title. For example,  creates Mario Kart Wii. Thanks! -- 18:58, 15 October 2017 (EDT)

Image uploads
Just leaving these here to help you out with some things. 18:14, 20 October 2017 (EDT)

Hello. Sorry. I'm new to this website and am still trying to figure out how to properly submit things.

A patroller (staff of ) issued reminders and you ignored them. Also, check Gallery:Mario for your Mario-related uploads (see for all galleries). It's hard to identify uncategorized or unsourced images or using vague descriptions. File:Mariobobomb.png, we had File:Mario (with Bob-omb) - Misc artwork.png. We might already have something and don't want to duplicate uploads. -- 20:28, 20 October 2017 (EDT)

I apologize. I wanted to submit images but I am still confused if I am doing it properly. I thought I was doing it correctly but apparently I wasn't. I think I need to reread the guidelines and posting techniques. I hope I am replying to this post correctly.
 * I only issued the warning to get your attention. It seemed as though you were ignoring one of our staff members. As for uploading, this isn't like a file sharing and hosting website ( or ). For older images, we likely have it uploaded already. is a bit more restrictive about potential duplicate uploads. To find images categorically, read the blue box. The green box is about how to deal with . We don't need to do things more than once. The template  contains all known galleries of . If your upload is a different format than the one you found, it is likely a replacement, or goes against our policy. The rule prohibiting submitting JPEGs converted to PNGs is relatively new. This also applies trying to force transparency onto JPEGs. This doesn't apply to trying to replace an older JPEG with a clean PNG version. That's acceptable. I recently did this with Donkey Kong Country images (File:RopeyRumbleGBC.png replaced File:RopeyRumbleGBC.jpg). -- 22:36, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
 * First off, File:Brickhit.png will be deleted because File:Mariobrick2.png is mirrored identical and the latter is sharper and cleaner. Second, you converted to PNG to apply transparency, which is against policy and a passed proposal years ago prohibits applying transparency to JPEGs. JPEG isn't capable of transparency, so it must be saved in a format that supports it. So the images you want to insert are File:Marioball.png and File:Mariobrick2.jpg. Thirdly, you should be able to, unless you aren't autoconfirmed. If you are autoconfirmed, you should be able to edit galleries. Just follow the pattern of [ other image embed examples]. -- 01:40, 21 October 2017 (EDT)
 * It's probably better to upload images unaltered if they aren't your own work (see File:Mariobrick3.jpg and File:Mariobrick2.jpg). -- 02:09, 21 October 2017 (EDT)
