TWW Machete
Seems like there's a version of the picture that you want to upload. Wouldn't it be easier to upload the picture under a different name so you don't have to ditch the previous image? -- 21:47, 12 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes that be true but i have images that i want to upload maybe a better version.

Uploading new versions of images
Hey, Brandondorf! We appreciate your enthusiasm to upload TWW images; however, please upload images that do not improve the current image. For example, this image of the Master Sword was fine just the way it was, so I'm going to revert it. Thank you for your understanding. Dany36 11:02, 13 July 2011 (EDT)
 * I know but i have detected bad parts and with its sunshine its bright. But thanks though and i understand this.--Brandondorf9999 15:23, 13 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Hey, Brandondorf. Ekim reverted your Bokoblin figurine image due to its low quality. The machete is not a big issue (although I think the whole weapon was there, the figurine just had a different perspective). Also, remember that just because your image is higher in resolution, doesn't necessarily mean that it's better. The previous figurine image had a better overall quality to it, so like I said, don't upload images that do not improve upon the current image. And one more note, this edit was reverted for obvious reasons: the actual text is "imp", not "imps." Thank you! Dany36 18:31, 15 July 2011 (EDT)
 * i'm trying to get a better one but accordingly, It just wont let me get the quality high. And i had to correct the word imp because its wimp not imp. I know it had a different perspective but it has to be thw whole thing with no missing parts. Thats why i post full ones.--Brandondorf9999 18:38, 15 July 2011 (EDT)
 * No, it's not "imp", it's wimp. Check this text dump. Also, please stop reverting other people's...reverts. We revert them for a reason. Dany36 18:41, 15 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Oh sorry but where did you find the text dump?--Brandondorf9999 18:52, 15 July 2011 (EDT)

Multiple edits on the same page
I noticed you edited the Stairs page five consecutive times. When you next edit a page, use the preview button so you can see the changes you made before saving them. This way, you can make the necessary corrections, and then save the page. Thanks in advance! -- 19:42, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

Stone Head
I reverted your edits to Stone Head because it seemed like you were deviating from Zelda. If you put one image from Marble Blast at the bottom, that's okay. However, the whole page looked like it was about Marble Blast. I also noticed that you took your images from here, but you never sourced them. That's like stealing the images. Please look at this to see an example of sourcing.

I'd also like you to stop contrasting images. Most of them don't need it, and look better in their original state. I mean, that's how they're supposed to look like in the game :P 21:33, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

Reverting other people's edits
Hey, Brandondorf! I noticed that you reverted most of the...reverts that Bobthetractor and Hylian King did to the newer version of images you had uploaded. To start things off, the way you handled the situation is not the best course of action, as it is usually recommended that you ask a user why they did such things before reverting all of his edits. Your way of handling the situation will usually cause an edit war, which can sometimes resort to a locking of the page and a minor ban to both parties involved. In this case, I'll just give you a warning and try to explain why Bobthetractor's reverts to the images you uploaded are deemed proper:


 * 1) You can keep reverting other people's edits that are undoing your work just for the sake of keeping your version of the image. I had already talked to you about this earlier in your talk page here.
 * 2) The "contrasting" of images is necessary. It's not best to keep the colors as the game portrays them instead of tweaking it to what you think is best. Things like "Daytime like that is not like that. The clouds are a little bit brighter in real life." and "You do need to stop reverting because everything is not like that until the sunset is there." are not reasons for keeping your version of the image. The Wind Waker is real life, therefore the original colors of the image that I uploaded should remain and not "enhanced." If the picture I took was too dark, then ok, color enhancement is appropriate, but in all the cases you were "contrasting", the original colors were fine and did not need any modifications.
 * 3) Bobthetractor and Hylian King reverted transparency jobs you had done because your transparency work on those images does not meet our quality standards, which I suggest you read. If an image does not meet quality standards (such as jagged edges or bad transparency work), then an image can and WILL be deleted or reverted. As such, it is suggested you respect the editor's decision on reverting an image, like how Hylian King reverted your version of the SS Bundle. I had also talked to you previously about this in your talk page.

Seeing as how I had already briefly talked about both of these things in your talk page, consider this a friendly reminder, but also a warning. I'll go ahead and revert some of the images, such as this due to the jagged edges, so I hope you'll understand given what I've already explained. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them here or in my talk page. See you around! Dany36 12:24, 4 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Well i do understand what you mean on my enhanced pictures because they are supposed to be like that so that people can see the picture well without having to change the screen brightness. They have to be enhanced so that you and all of us can see the picture very well. We have eyes to see them. If they need enhancement. They get corrected.--Brandondorf9999 13:05, 4 September 2011 (EDT)


 * I moved your message here so we can see the whole conversation nicely.
 * Brandon, we know your intentions are good. However, many staff members think the older ones looked better, even when we used different brightnesses. On top of that, your versions lost some very minor details and had more JPEG artifacts. I think the problem might be with your monitor. Try playing around with some of the screen settings and find what looks best for you.


 * I am also an image editor, so I know that it's hard to make everyone happy. You'll need a LOT of practice before you can get it right. I don't mind you practicing here, but you shouldn't be very stubborn. Listen to what other people have to say about your work and keep improving yourself! 14:21, 4 September 2011 (EDT)


 * I have to contrast images which aren't good and my monitor is on that brightness and should be contrasted for an improved view of picture. Thats why i use auto contrast for it.--Brandondorf9999 18:16, 4 September 2011 (EDT)

Reverting edits
Hello again, Brandondorf. The other staff and I have talked to you about reverting edits before, so...consider this your last warning. Please do not revert justified edits, such as this, by simply saying that you are right and we are wrong. If an administrator or a patroller reverts your edit, then it is usually justified. As said before, the models and other images you upload usually aren't up to quality standards (the model has a stiff position and is low quality, for example) so that's why I reverted your edit.

Once again, I hope you understand, so consider this your last warning before you are temporarily banned for continuously disobeying the staff and ignoring the past warnings we have given you. Thank you. Dany36 23:12, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

Enough is enough.
I haven't sent the email to an admin... Hopefully I will likely to see your username. Steahl 18:00, 8 November 2011 (EST)

Report me? Wait a sec... Wait. I am starting to think that you have mental illness. You don't even understand how... unmoral and immature your actions are.... Hmmm, you perplex me. Steahl 19:58, 8 November 2011 (EST)
 * Enough of this. This is not a place for you two to duke it out. Thank you. --Xizor 20:02, 8 November 2011 (EST)

Brandondorf, many of the staff have found your behavior to be unacceptable. We believe it is in your best interest to follow these guidelines: We hope you understand that this is not a personal attack. These are guidelines that everyone should follow to help out the community. 13:56, 9 November 2011 (EST)
 * 1) Do not edit official images at all.
 * 2) Do not edit other images unless they REALLY need it. Also, keep this in mind: we prefer quality over size.
 * 3) Do not threaten to report others.
 * 4) Do not revert edits unless you have a good reason to do so. Please state this reason in the edit summary.
 * 5) Please back up your arguments with reason or proof. This helps us better understand your viewpoint.


 * Furthermore, if you feel these policies are being enforced unequally or in a burdensome manner, please let us know and we can discuss. However, I feel that in recent cases, we have been enforcing our policies fairly and so I urge you to consider what we've said before you begin editing again. --Xizor 15:08, 9 November 2011 (EST)

Issues with inventing information
I would like to speak with you privately about recent issues regarding your activity here. Is it possible for you to use a messenger program like AIM or Skype? Please let me know here or on my own talk page. Thank you. --Xizor 06:36, 21 November 2011 (EST)

Temp Ban
You have been banned for 1 month. We've continually told you that making unwarranted image adjustments was not needed however you've kept doing it and often reverting other people's justified changes to said image(s). Please bear in mind that you are welcome to return to editing after your ban expires, however further examples of this behaviour will not be tolerated. 12:54, 22 January 2012 (EST)
