Name
Dude, you seriously have one of the coolest names ever, but I've been curious. How exactly do you pronounce it? :P --Ando (T) 19:28, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hehe, thanks. It's an Armenian name. Correct pronunciation would be something like... is Ma-seees Mases 23:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Votes
Yo, dude, only one vote on the Featured Content Disqualification page allowed per month (one vote against an article and one vote against a picture, that is). Sorry. :/ --Ando 20:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Ya, I misread that, then I fixed it, and then saw you sent me a message. Thanks anyway. Mases 20:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Featured Content Disqualification
Hi, just a quick request. Please would you consider visiting Zelda Wiki.org:Featured Content Disqualification and placing a vote for an article and/or picture to be disqualified next (if you haven't already done so this month)? While it may seem quite a negative process, it's vital to the continued running of the Featured Content system that valued, active members such as yourself offer an opinion here in order to make way for new content being nominated. Thanks for your assistance! --Adamcox82 18:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Question
Moved to here

Images Uploaded
I wasn't going to say anything at first, but it is bugging me. In a lot of these images you're uploading you say "cropped by Zelda Dungeon". I'm sorry to say but you are using that term incorrectly. Cropped means cutting out a portion of an image and making it into its own image. All that was done to those images was resizing. Cropping an image isn't even close to resizing. You might want to go through those images and correct that. 16:09, June 30, 2008 (UTC)


 * Cropped meaning, getting rid of the white background, making them PNG files and resizing. Almost all the images that were replaced used to have those ugly white backgrounds, which looked terrible on the blue background. I also figured that it is best to be using images that were worked on by members of the wiki or some of the supporting sites. I also went through and replaced all those Twilight Princess items images that used to be from Zelda Elements. Instead, I've replaced them with Zelda Universe items images from their revamp. It's best to have supporting site images rather than random sites. I sourced the lost woods since that was the original location of the files. Some of the files were edited when placed on Game Hiker. Then I edited them once again when I placed them at Zelda Dungeon. I think that warrants citing all three sites as sources. Mases 18:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I never said it was wrong to put all the sources. That is a good thing. Removing the background, resizing, and making into png does not fit under the description "cropped". Removing the background might fit under "cropped", but that is stretching it. All the photo-editing software uses the term to describe the process of selecting a rectangular portion of the image and deleting the rest. Cropping is a quick action. Removing of a background is a lengthy process that takes a great deal of time and should not be referred to as "cropping". It would cause too much confusion. Instead use the term "rendered". That term is more inclusive of background removal, making into a better format, resizing, etc. 18:46, June 30, 2008 (UTC)
