User talk:RodKimble

Welcome to StrategyWiki!
Hello RodKimble! Welcome to StrategyWiki. Thank you for your contributions. If you have any questions, just contact a sysop through their talk page or post on the staff lounge, and they'd be happy to help. If you need help editing, check the StrategyWiki Guide or ask a sysop, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the forums. To keep up-to-date with the goings on of the wiki, consider adding the noticeboard to your watchlist.

Please remember to sign your name when leaving comments on talk pages by clicking or using four tildes (    ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! — 18:51, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Easier editing
The Show preview button (right next to the Save page button) lets you see how your changes will look before saving the page. You can use Show preview as many times as you like until you get the page how you want it. You can also edit the whole page at one time, as opposed to by section, by clicking the Edit tab at the top of the page. Hopefully these little shortcuts will make it easier for you to get the desired result when you're editing, and save you a little time. Thanks for working on the wiki! — 03:38, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Alright thanks for letting me know and forgot about that sorry the first time i didnt know because im a new since two days ago and a question where do i put my name on the editing part-RodKimble (talk) 03:51, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem. If I post anything here it is for both StrategyWiki's benefit (it saves us time if you do things more efficiently), as well as your own benefit (learning makes you better). What do you mean by "editing part"? It looks like you figured out how to sign your name here, on this talk page. We do not allow people to sign their names on guide pages. Your name, or IP address if you are not logged in, is logged in the page's history, which you can view by clicking the History link on any page. -- 17:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Question
Hello again I just wanted to ask if I put furniture sets on the animal crossing city folk furniture next and if I do where?-RodKimble (talk) 03:29, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Your question does not make sense. Please try again. -- 04:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * You should check out the Animal Crossing: New Leaf guide for layout ideas. A couple of us have worked hard to get a good table of contents set up. You'll see we have content for furniture sets (work in progress) but I'm sure a lot of that stuff is the same across the series. Minx (talk) 22:21, 21 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I checked it out and helped me out a lot thanks Minx sorry for the late reply. --RodKimble (talk) 06:07, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Preload buttons
In order to keep pages on the wiki neat and uniform, we employ certain formatting and templates to help us accomplish this. When creating a new page, please use one of the preload buttons located above the edit text box (e.g. click on "Guide page" to add Header Nav to the top and Footer Nav to the bottom), which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. These templates are very handy because they include the templates that are required for each page type. If you are unsure about how to use them, or what pages to use them on, please let me know. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — 05:10, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Remember to press the "Guide page" button to fill in the footer nav so we don't have to do it for you. Thanks! -- 15:39, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright thanks for letting me know sorry about that RodKimble (talk) 17:34, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that Animal Crossing: City Folk/Town Folk was still missing a header and a footer. As NMH said, please press the "Guide page" button and fill in the page between the Header Nav and Footer Nav templates. Thank you. :) -- Wario Talk 05:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that I need to start remembering to do it I will try not to forget again. - RodKimble (talk) 16:03, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Remember to use the "Main game page" button so that Stub (if applicable), Continue Nav, and ToC get added to the new guide's page automatically. Thanks for creating Mario Party: Island Tour! -- 15:58, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Remember to press the "Guide page" button - it looks like you manually typed or copied the header nav to the bottom of the Mushroom Shop page. Footer Nav should be at the bottom, not Header Nav. The preload button will put it in for you. -- 16:29, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Rod, come on man! Please use these buttons when making new pages (press "Main Game page" for a game's infobox, etc.). You continue to remove or leave out mandatory templates from main game pages like Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar (missing Continue Nav and ToC, both added automatically). This saves all of us time. -- 17:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, footer navs are not allowed on main game pages. -- 17:24, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Good work
Thanks for your work on the Animal Crossing: City Folk guide. It's really coming along nicely. Hopefully you'll be able to see it through to level 4! :) If you need any help at all, let me know. (Just noticed we're the same age, too. Nice. ;) -- Wario Talk 15:53, 11 March 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem i'm hoping to get it to level 4 soon.Alright thanks for letting me know :) Really that's awesome :D.i've been a new member since almost a month ago now so still getting used to the editing RodKimble (talk) 17:41, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * All 100% completed on Animal Crossing: City Folk- RodKimble (talk) 02:49, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Awesome, I'll look it over. In the meantime, I noticed a few things missing from the city page (Marquee, HRA, and fortune teller) and information on the town shops/Town Hall. If you could add that in, that would be great. If not, no sweat, I'll get to it. I'm surprised at how fast you got through everything. I have a feeling this will be a level 4 guide soon. :D Also, just a little note: instead of writing stuff like "A button", you can use to show an image of it there instead. For example:  or  Thanks for your hard work! -- Wario Talk 01:37, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks, if you could help out I'd be real thankful for that. --RodKimble (talk) 16:13, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for helping out on Animal Crossing: City Folk getting it to level 4 :). --RodKimble (talk) 06:27, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

NES and SNES games
I don't know if you care for emulators or have a problem with them, but you can play games online with a computer with Java installed at virtualnes.com and virtualsupernes.com (they have a game boy one, too). This isn't preferable, since you can't save games (AFAIK), but it's cool for checking out titles you haven't heard of. Also, the RetroN5 is coming out soon, which can play NES, SNES, japanese versions of those, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games. -- 16:20, 11 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Additionally, if you have an Android phone or tablet, you can find a number of emulators available for download on the Google Play Store. Personally, I use devices like the JXD S7300 and JXD S7800 which are built for gaming (Google them to find out more.)  As for finding the games, we can't really talk about it here, but feel free to email me for some help.   Pro  cyon  20:16, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Closed Table
By now you should know how to close the table, yet you always let it open which will shown not properly. Please close the Table properly so it can be shown correct on site. Paco (talk) 20:49, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright sorry about that still getting used to the editing part thanks for reminding me RodKimble (talk) 20:53, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Rod, if it helps you, you can use an old programmers trick. Just as soon as you open the table with the {|, immediately close it with |}, and then start adding all the contents in between.  You're most likely to remember to close the table immediately after you open in.   Pro  cyon  23:43, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks for letting me know that's been real helpful Procyon, and you can call me Kimble my real name by the way. -RodKimble (talk) 05:55, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Support
No problem! I'm glad to help out anyone who is willing to put the effort into using and improving our guides. Whatever you want to do here, you will have at least my support. The others here may not say anything, but they are likely watching you, too (like Paco, Minx, and E-123Wario54). -- 07:11, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Mario Party mini games guides
Like I set up on Mario Party/1-player minigames, I believe we should use headers for the mini-games so that the info can be expanded to include screenshots and other helpful tips other than just the game's statistics and general description. Most games have little safe areas and other tricks to be exploited. What do you think? -- 16:35, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I saw how Mario Party/4-player minigames are set up so I was doing that but I agree with you if we are doing that we should also fix Mario Party/4-player minigames as well. --RodKimble (talk) 16:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I am glad that you got the table filled out. It is easiest to do one thing at a time in its totality, so at least you got all the basic info in. Now we can split it. -- 17:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Since the tables were in the exact same format, I was able to use a regex to quickly convert it over. Yay :D -- 17:40, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Great job looks very organized I totally didn't know you were helping out thanks for helping out that helped out a lot --RodKimble (talk) 18:20, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Can you do that on Mario Party/3 vs. 1 minigames and Mario Party/2 vs. 2 minigames as well? --RodKimble (talk) 19:49, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * 2v2 done. If I don't do 3v1 today remind me. -- 18:56, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Just reminding about 3v1 and I wrote on Mario Party/1-player minigames and was woundering if you can fix this last one.I wrote the description and time --RodKimble (talk) 06:25, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * All mini-game pages have been converted to use headers. Here is the regular expression (regex) I used (the second bullet is what to replace with):


 * |-\n| \(print:\{1,30\}\)\n| \(print:\{1,10\}\)\n|\(print:\{1,300\}\)\n|\(print:\{1,10\}\)
 * ==\1==\n*Cost: \2\n*Description: \3\n*Time: \4\n
 * I use Textpad in Windows to use regex replacements. -- 15:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for helping out again. Also saw you've been working on Super Mario Advance with a bunch of others helping to organize it. Thanks on that as well if I had that game I would totally help out but don't have a gameboy advance :(. --RodKimble (talk) 06:03, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Mario Party/Mini-Game Island
Are the mini games in this challenge any different than the ones played normally throughout the game? If they are just normal games, we can convert these lists to tables and then link to the page we have put them on (e.g. 3 vs. 1 minigames). We do not want to duplicate information or have two separate lists of mini game strategies. -- 16:15, 5 May 2014 (UTC)


 * No there the same thing, the only thing that is different you have to place first, collect a certain amount of coins, or pass the finish line, In the Mario Party/Mini-Game Island.


 * Ok, so that page should list, for each game, the requirement for continuing. No other info should be given. Instead, a link should be given. The page can probably be changed to mostly table form, except for the intro of course, and is probably best moved to the appendices section, as it is not part of the main game (not a game board, but a sort of mega-minigame). -- 17:48, 6 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright I totally agree with you on this one. -- RodKimble (talk) 20:13, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Series followed/preceded by
Please look at Harvest Moon before doing any more maintenance. We have separated the handheld series ifrom the console one. -- 00:46, 7 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh man sorry I thought they were supposed to go in the order which date they came out, that's what I did I just went in the order they went by cause I like it that way, but I'd be happy to fix if you think.


 * I've seen that they've been fixed, but some of them have the handheld devices and console devices are together still I've noticed. -- RodKimble (talk) 20:10, 7 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Please sign your talk posts. You didn't do anything wrong by trying to change them. The situation is complicated and we don't have rules to quickly address it. Thank you for bringing it up in the staff lounge. -- 16:26, 7 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Aw man I will remember to sign my talk post from now on, also I just think it would be more organized that way but it's up to what you and the staff lounge think about it but that's my opinion. -- RodKimble (talk) 20:10, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

StrategyWiki:Guide completion
Be VERY careful when removing titles. I believe you were incorrect when removing all of the titles in these two diffs:
 * 1
 * 2

For example, Brawl Brothers is said to be available on Wii U Virtual Console. It may not be available where you live, but it is available elsewhere in the world. -- 16:43, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay sorry about that, I just looked online and didn't see anything about those games being on Wii U Virtual Console but the games I added are on virtual console, as mariowiki has just announced that Nintendo is bringing gameboy advance to to the Wii U Virtual Console. - RodKimble (talk) 17:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * You can find most info at Wikipedia or by a quick google search which will probably show some eshop info. See wp:List of Virtual Console games for Wii (North America), for example. -- 17:43, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok than thanks for helping out I don't know how many times I've told you that, but I hope I'm not saying that too much haha, I'm trying my best to help out this wikipedia I hope I'm doing pretty good so far. I had a question about Game & Wario how come it's not in the Wii U Games list yet I made this one so if you could take a look at it to see what you can do like mario party and mario and sonic you helped out with.


 * Are you talking about the guide completion list or Category:Wii U? -- 18:06, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * The Category:Wii U is the one I'm talking about. - RodKimble (talk) 18:12, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * You haven't been categorizing new main pages. That is something you need to work on. At the bottom of all main pages you need to list the categories explicitly. See Game & Wario for the categories I just added at the bottom. -- 18:17, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Several things you need to work on

 * 1) Signing your posts on talk pages.  NMH reminded you about this on May 7, and you said you'd remember, but you continue to forget.
 * 2) Correctly categorizing games on the main page.  As mentioned above, if you want Game & Wario to show up on Category:Wii U, you need to add  to the bottom of the page.
 * 3) Shorten. Your. Sentences. You frequently try to cram too many thoughts into a single sentence.  That makes them very hard for people to read.  Try to restrict each sentence to just one primary thought.  I have a hard time to following what you're trying to say because your sentences go on and on and on... Understanding this is an important principal of communication.   Pro  cyon  20:01, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh yes I will definitely remember to do the first two, also I will try my best and to shorten my sentences so everyone will understand them. - RodKimble (talk) 20:18, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you :)  Pro  cyon  20:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

You forgot to sign your post in the Staff Lounge again. Just letting you know, you've gotta get in the habit of doing that. Otherwise, good job. It looks like you've gotten the hang of creating main pages. :) It's nice to have someone like you around giving the Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon series some much-needed attention. -- Wario Talk 18:46, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh man not again thank you for reminding me again, I'm just happy to have everyone to help me out and remind me. And thanks for saying that I was wondering how I've been doing so far, also I have been a fan of those games since I played Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. But I just ordered a GameCube controller a couple days ago should be here any time, because my sisters dog chewed my controller :(. - RodKimble (talk) 08:54, 25 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Rod, when you make a new main page, can you also click on the Table of Contents red link and then use the Table of Contents preload button to make a stub for the ToC? That saves me a couple of clicks when I go to clean up your work, and it will let me spend more time on the infobox/category cleanup. Thanks! -- 16:27, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Animal Crossing N64
I'm curious as to why you're removing information on the N64 version of Animal Crossing from the main page. Do you think the guides should be split or is it something else? -- Wario Talk 04:52, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I think they should stay on the same page for now. Thanks for fixing Animal Crossing up, I think before I messed with it. It looked better, I don't know what I was thinking at the time haha. -- RodKimble (talk) 05:08, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, just making sure. :) -- Wario Talk 05:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I have a question, what should I write about the Points of Interest and Fun with Nature sections. I have no idea what to write about. -- RodKimble (talk) 05:58, 7 June 2014 (UTC)


 * The previous writer of the guide was probably planning something, but there's no way of knowing now. If you believe those pages aren't necessary, then remove them. It's a collaborative project after all. The first AC is the only one I haven't played, so that's all I can say on that. Sorry. ._.' You'd know better than possibly any one of us, so you do whatever you think is best. Side note: those Wii U release date updates are much appreciated. I am slow on current releases and had no idea so many of these games were ported over, haha... -- Wario Talk 07:06, 7 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, I figured out what to write about on both of them. Would you mind looking at the Special Visitors and see if you think the characters I added should be on there? I also added the rewards from Gulliver and Katie also patterns for Wendell, if you want to look at that those too, I'd be very thankful. --RodKimble (talk) 00:24, 13 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's good. It might be useful to have that information there, so thanks for adding on. :) On the topic of the AC: CF guide, I was thinking I'd dig out my City Folk guidebook and scan images of furniture/clothing/etc. from there, but I'll see how it works out first. The ultimate goal is for StrategyWiki to have the best City Folk guide on the 'net, and we are on our way. ;) -- Wario Talk 02:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Games must have a genre
Do not remove genres from a game's infobox. It is mandatory. -- 16:25, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Whoops sorry, I should've asked you if you knew what genres both of those should be in. I just put party because I just was in a hurry making those and didn't know what to put in the genres. Thanks for fixing them. --RodKimble (talk) 19:17, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I've noticed that you attribute a lot of mistakes to being in a hurry. The obvious solution to this is please don't rush.  We're very fortunate to have a talented staff that is able to spot and correct mistakes, but we'd be even more fortunate if editors took their time and didn't make the mistakes in the first place.  Slow down and ensure that the work you've done is correct before you save it.  If you're not sure, ask someone.  Otherwise, keep up the good work.   Pro  cyon  23:37, 12 June 2014

(UTC)


 * I will try to slow down when writing these walkthroughs from now on. I just hope to be as great as everyone one on here at writing a walkthrough on this wikipedia. And how have I been doing at shortening my sentences Procyon? --RodKimble (talk) 00:04, 13 June 2014 (UTC)


 * You're doing better! Whenever you're about to submit a change, consider using the "Preview" button one more time just to look it over. Also, sorry for the short message. A good alternative if there are several genres or several of something is to just put the word "Various" (no link). Someone can be more specific later. Thanks =) -- 05:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for saying that, and I should be thanking you for helping out with Harvest Moon series, it's looking great so far. The beginning of harvest moon has just begun. --RodKimble (talk) 07:36, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Attribution
Did you copy this content from somewhere else? If so, please edit the page, don't add anything, but in the summary say "last edit from URL" and paste in the website's URL if there was one. Otherwise, great job on the description of the setting! -- 05:49, 13 June 2014 (UTC)


 * No its the story to the game, whenever you start the game up. --RodKimble (talk) 05:57, 13 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, please state that somewhere, either on the page, like From the title screen cinematic: or From the game manual: or just in the summary. Otherwise, you're illegally copying their words. Also, if it is the story, please put ==Story== above it to give it its own section. -- 16:31, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Congrats!
Looks like you put a lot of work and research into that Animal Crossing guide, so congrats on getting it to level 4! You've improved so much since you first joined, it's awesome! ^_^ -- Wario Talk 02:52, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliment that's gonna get me through most of my day :), were moving. I'm just glad to help out. -- RodKimble (talk) 17:04, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Happy birthday!
Congratulations on reaching Level 18. I hear that's a good one. Unfortunately, we don't have a walkthrough for Life because it's too complex ;) But I'm sure you'll do great anyhow.  Thanks for your contributions to the site.  We appreciate it.  Have a great birthday.   Pro  cyon  14:26, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Procyon :) -- RodKimble (talk) 17:14, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Ahaha. Happy birthday, Rod! You should save up and wait for the RetroN5 to be released. Famicom/NES/SNES/GB/GBA/Sega Mega Drive! (that's what I'm waiting for!) -- 04:42, 18 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much Notmyhandle, my family got me a wii u with two games. And that's probably what I am gonna save up for, it looks amazing. I didn't know about the RetroN5 until it was mentioned on my talk page. -- RodKimble (talk) 02:27, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Mario Golf series
While it's very clear that Golf and Golf Japan Course are precursors to what ultimately became the Mario Golf series, what evidence do you have to indicate that they are part of the series?  Pro cyon  20:33, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The only thing I know is Mario is the only playable character in Golf. And Mario and Luigi are playable in Golf Japan Course. That's all I know if you don't think they should be a part of the Mario Golf series I would be glad to take them off. -- RodKimble (talk) 21:31, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * It's never expressly said that the player in Golf is Mario, although it is intended to be Mario and Luigi in Golf Japan Course. So Golf is a definite no, and Golf Japan Course is iffy, it technically predates the Mario Golf series since the first official title in the series was released for the N64.  I see that Wikipedia includes both of these games in their Mario Sports template, but still... I'll leave the call up to you, but personally I would leave them out, and just put a note about the earlier titles in the series category page.   Pro  cyon  03:17, 3 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, well I will see if I can find anything else related to Mario Golf series before I remove them. Also on mariowiki it says, on golf Mario is a playable character. That one will probably end up getting removed because that's the only Mario related thing. - RodKimble (talk) 03:43, 3 September 2014 (UTC)


 * @Proc: I think we should follow Wikipedia's lead on this one. The point is to hint towards predecessors of the series, if they exist. We can differentiate official/canonical titles from these loosely tied titles by adding a bold label to the left of the row of titles, like we've done with Mystic Ark and others.


 * @Rod: can you take Proc's notes and put them somewhere relevant on the two Golf and Golf Japan Course pages? It is important for these loose connections to be noted. Also, if added to the Mario Golf series, these notes should also be added to the category page itself, like Category:Mystic Ark. -- 04:33, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Empty main pages
You've created a lot of main game pages that contain nothing besides a filled in Infobox. While the correctly filled in Infobox is appreciated, the lack of any other content is a problem. There are three things that a main page needs to be considered complete: the Infobox, at least descriptive paragraph explaining what the game is, and ideally a picture of the box art. At the very least, you could be adding an introduction paragraph. We use the same license as Wikipedia, so what most of us do is copy the introductory paragraph from the respective page there. It's not perfect, but it's a start. Please try to make more of an effort with this when starting a new page. Thank you.  Pro cyon  22:43, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice, about the picture of the box art. I will start writing a little info about the game as well to help make everyone's Wikipedia writing easier. -- RodKimble (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm having trouble trying to put up the pictures of the box art. -- RodKimble (talk) 06:57, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Image categorisation
When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e.  Category:Game Name images. Please see our image policy for more details. Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! —  Pro cyon  20:52, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Additionally, for any cover scans you upload.  Thanks.   Pro  cyon  20:52, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


 * You also need to name them correctly, and include the game category as well. For example, the "Alpine Series" of images you just uploaded give no indication of what game they're for. judging by the fact you're putting them on an Animal Crossing page, you should include them in Category:Animal Crossing: New Leaf images and name them "ACNL Alpine Table.jpg" and so forth. -- 03:40, 3 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Moydow and I were typing this up at the same time, but he beat me to it. I'm sorry, I don't mean to come down on you, but the image uploads are becoming a mess. Two really important things:
 * Name the files appropriately. They should start with the name of the game they come from (an abbreviation will suffice if the game has more than two words in the title), and then a description of what the image is.  File names like 3679oGHJKDfhjLJB6832.jpg really don't help us at all, because it's impossible to tell what that's supposed to be.
 * In addition to a Screenshot or Box artwork category, you should be adding a category for the game that it comes from followed by the word "images". So for those furniture pics you uploaded, you should be adding.
 * I know these seem like small pains in the ass, but they help a lot because we have a ridiculous number of images on this site, so it's important to keep them organized. One final comment, you don't actually have to add the screenshot category when they're tiny images.  The screenshot category is better for full size uncropped screenshots.  Please help us out with this stuff, it will make things a lot easier for everyone.   Pro  cyon  03:42, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for being such a pain, I will try my best to keep a lot of pictures more organized and start adding the category for the game and descriptions of what the images are. -- RodKimble (talk) 03:56, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * There's no need to apologize, you are a huge contributor, especially to our Animal Crossing guides which can always use the extra love because there's so much information to keep track of. We just like to try and stop bad practices as quickly as possible before they become bad habits.  Thanks for understanding.   Pro  cyon  04:55, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Box art tips
I don't want you to think I'm a jerk, or that I don't appreciate the work you're doing, but since you're uploading a lot of box art, I just wanted to throw these pointers out there. You're not doing anything wrong, but there are some tips that could improve the quality of what you're doing. Kirby & the Amazing Mirror guide images I know it's a lot to consider, but I wanted to mention it since you're uploading so many images now. It's just a level of polish that would really help us out. And you'll be a pro at it.  Pro cyon  21:55, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) All images should be in jpg format with "jpg" as the extension, not "jpeg".  Avoid using pngs for anything other than screenshots or sprite rips.  Avoid using gifs for anything other than animation.
 * 2) When I upload box art, I usually go with the filename formula: Game_name_system_region_box.jpg, where system is an abbreviation for the system it's for, and region is something like US, JP, or EU.  So for example, "Super Mario Bros. 3 NES US box.jpg" or "Final Fantasy V SFC JP box.jpg".  This is important because some games came out for multiple systems in multiple regions, so it's good to know which scan you've uploaded.  Also, just adding box to the end helps distinguish the file from all the other files in that image category.
 * 3) If you really want to go the extra-mile, you can fill in the new image categories you're creating.  For example, you just established Category:Kirby & the Amazing Mirror images, so it's a red link.  If you click on it, you'll get an empty page.  The contents that I would put in there are:


 * No I wouldn't think you're a jerk. I would rather someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong, because I can become a better member like everyone else here. Who have been helping me out a lot. So if I'm doing something wrong I would like someone to tell me. I'm very appreciated for everyone's help :). -- RodKimble (talk) 06:57, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
