SS Slingshot Model

Hello! I saw that you recently uploaded the model of the Slingshot in Skyward Sword. First off, thank you for uploading that, and second, I wanted to ask you a question. Where did you retrieve this file from? Did you find it online, or did you rip the model from the game yourself? We need this so we can add a source for the file. If you could please provide the website you got this from, (or if you ripped this yourself) that would help a lot. Reading over the File Guidelines would also be a great idea. Thanks! — 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 ^{(𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤)} 20:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Sir! First off, thank you for your guidance on these first contributions. Indeed I ripped this myself directly from the game (while playing it). I thought I had put the correct sourcing information in the file info section, albeit a few minutes after uploading the image itself... what can I do to adequately comply to the guidelines?

You can read over this page and see how the FileInfo template works. That should clear up a lot. If you ever upload a new file, you can use Special:Upload to make it wayyy easier to fill out all the information. Every time you upload a new file or new version of the file, you should update the FileInfo template according to your new file. In your Deku Seed Model, you should update the FileInfo to state the source of the new version of the file. Otherwise, the file would be crediting Bwar for getting that file instead of you and we don't want that! Here is an example of what you should change in a new file. This is also another great page you can read to understand everything better. Thank you for uploading those models! — 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 ^{(𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤)} 20:57, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much! That does make a lot more sense. I'll try to apply this knowledge shortly on the SS Slingshot sprite resolution upgrade upload I plan to do next. Take care. Talbotfox (talk) 21:04, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
