Image placement suggestion
Hi YoshiSoy. I just wanted to bring your attention to some changes that I made, specifically this change and this change. I moved the images closer to the sections they correspond to. If you like the design, I encourage you to continue adding images to each page in the same manner. If you don't like it, feel free to roll it back, or just continue adding galleries as you have been. Thanks for all your hard work.  Pro cyon  21:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, always happy to help out. That's why I like the wiki format so much.  Plus, the thumbnail images are bigger than the gallery images, so you can see more of your beautiful screenshots.  Let me know if I can help in any other way.   Pro  cyon  21:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Your questions
Hi YoshiSoy. To answer your questions, we don't have a strong position on 2nd vs. 3rd person, and we leave it up to authors preference as long as it's clear who you are talking about. So you can say, "you should jump on to the block," or you can say, "have Mario jump on to the block," and either is perfectly acceptable (and I've been known to absent mindedly switch back and forth in the same guide...) Lol, the cookie thing is kind of a joke, it's not a serious thing. It's sort of a tongue-in-cheek way of encouraging people to contribute. However, we do offer contributor recognition prizes, usually a free game, towards the end of the year for outstanding editors. As for the uploads, I'm not sure, I'll have to test it out myself and see if I have the same problem. It may be something temporary. Do you get any kind of error message, or does it just time out? If you experience continued problems, leave a note on Prod's discussion page, he's the site's tech admin. Let me know if you have any more questions.  Pro cyon  00:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It's possible that you may be bumping up against our image filesize limit. I personally love PNGs for screenshots, but naturally JPGs have much better compression.  Try saving some as JPGs and see if it makes a huge difference in the quality of the images.  If it doesn't, you may want to consider using that format, as it would be helping us out too (the image database is already gigantic and growing steadily.)  Pro  cyon  00:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Nvm, the filesize limit is 5M, and at worst, you're only around 500K, so that wasn't the issue. I suspect it was just heavy traffic.   Pro  cyon  00:33, 4 April 2012 (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, which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — 15:56, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * =) Np. There's always more to learn around here. -- 17:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Mario Party 4
Great work! Thanks for the screenshots, those are a really nice addition. -- 17:49, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I would also like to thank you for the work you've been doing on this guide, keep it up! I did a couple of edits to your Game Modes page, notably making use of the prettytable template to make the list of trophies look like the rest of the tables on StrategyWiki and then fixing your &lt;gallery&gt; tag at the end so the images actually appear, you may wish to check each of those out sometime in the future to see what I did so you can apply those concepts on your future work. If you have any questions about other wiki-markup related stuff (you have a very good grasp of it already, but there's always bound to be something that's confusing or doesn't quite work), feel free to ask on my talk page. Don't let these little nitpicky things slow you down though, you're doing a great job! -- 07:52, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
