Images Uploaded
Hi there. Thank you for your recent image contributions, however, we are still experiencing technical difficulties regarding image thumbnails showing up. If you could please refrain from uploading in the meantime, that would be appreciated. :) This issue should be fixed soon. 15:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I saw that uploading was re-enabled and got a bit carried away. --Petenu 15:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep an eye on the main page for the announcement saying the issue is fixed. And when you add "|frame" to an image, add a caption to it as well. Thanks for the image work tho, we really would like many more. 21:49, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, I think I've managed to get my head around the syntax for including images now. Thanks for going gentle on the newbie :) --Petenu 10:10, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

It seems to be working now. 01:11, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup. The issues seem to be fixed now! Feel free to upload :) 03:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Great Work
Just wanted to say good job with all of your recent edits and image editing, I'm impressed. :) Two things to quickly mention. Firstly, try to make picture captains explain the individual image, instead of just being the title of the article. Secondly, when you upload transparent images, and flag the old version for deletion, can you please link to the new version in your message on the file's talk page. Makes my job easier. ;) Keep up the good work. 11:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Both suggestions are more than reasonable. Will do. -- 18:10, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I should have mentioned it originally, but when you're adding the new version of the image to the talk page of the one to be deleted, instead of coding it so the image actually appears on the page, you can just link to it, by placing a colon before the filename. Take this coding for example: File:Octorok ALttP.gif, which produces a simple link like this: File:Octorok ALttP.gif. 12:11, 1 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm agreeing to the Great Work comment, but I must say, creating a talk page for an image to be deleted doubles the number of pages to delete. It might save us both the trouble if you used the same name for the newer versions a clicked on replace Image. Another option is to just make the comments on the image page to be deleted itself rather than creating its discussion page. It's not really a big deal, but would help reduce clutter in the Recent Changes. Thanks again for your contributions. :) 12:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm keeping the same filename where I can, but most of these requests for transparent backgrounds are on JPEGs, so they need to be converted to PNG.
 * I agree with your suggestion about putting comments on the image page rather than creating a discussion page - I'm very conscious of how much Recent Changes clutter this process creates, so the more that can be avoided, the better. -- 12:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for helping and agreeing to make it a simpler streamlined process, sorry if we sound like we are nagging...lol We don't mean to. 12:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Nonono, no apology necessary. So far, your suggestions have been nothing but helpful. -- 12:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
I see you took the time to cut the interface of the Library Key screenshot. I appreciate that. I'm choosing you as my go-to guy for screenshot work now! Do you need me to keep placing them in the Image Requests Gallery or do you plan to seek and destroy all on your own? 15:08, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You might as well keep putting them in the image requests, though it's generally not necessary to list each image individually - for example, almost every page linked from Dungeons_in_The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Oracle_of_Seasons has an image that needs a bit of love, so it's probably enough to just link to that page.
 * Incidentally, I've just started playing Oracle of Ages so I'm going to try to remember to grab lots of screenshots as I'm going through. -- 15:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey I made this Template:PHmap, I wanted to bring it to your attention. I tried to get it all done without bothering you about ha ha. But since I drew all of the islands with the mouse...and just kinda squared off the plot points, I figured to see if you'd change anything. 07:03, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems to work great to me. There'd be no benefit to going crazy defining polygonal areas around each island, that I can see. 07:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

OoS Nav
You did a smashing job with this! I'm quite in awe! :3 01:54, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, thanks for fixing up those plot points. I'll get on the Subrosia one pronto. 02:28, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Note on Background Transparencies
You continue to do a great job with all your image editing. Hopefully this catches your attention, before you get back to work, as there is one point that I need to draw your attention to. This is taken from the ZW Quality Standards for Images:

"Images without background transparency need to have their backgrounds removed, but this must be done to a quality that leaves smooth edges with no strokes, and leave no traces of any background."

Whilst what you're doing is in improvement to the original images, for the future, instead of rendering the images to have strokes, as here, please edit them to have no trace of any background, glow or stroke, as this image demonstrates. Keep up the good editing. Thanks. 11:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that. I must admit to not having read the quality standards - I just saw a lot of images on the site with "strokes" and assumed that it was acceptable. 12:23, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem. :) 06:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I was wondering if you realized that if you are working on an image you don't need to put it in the image requests. If it's convenient for you to do that, you may, but if you think it's a hassle... 01:23, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Skype
Hey, I'm not sure whether you're familiar with the program Skype. It's a shareware instant messaging program, and Zelda Wiki uses it as a place where its contributors and editors can discuss things about the wiki while they're editing, ask for help, or just have a general chat. I think you'd benefit from it, and we'd love to have you join. Read the Skype page for more details. 06:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the invitation. Haven't used IM in a while, so it probably won't happen, but I'll certainly keep it in mind. 14:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, you're welcome anytime. :) 23:31, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
