I see you've been uploading a few images lately. When doing so, could you please make sure to categorise them using the correct [[:Category:Images|image categories]]? The image policy is viewable [[StrategyWiki: | I see you've been uploading a few images lately.

Hey Blue Phoenix, great job with all the cleanup you've been doing on the images around here. I spend a lot of time on them myself so I appreciate all your hard work.

*{{c|Characters}} and {{c|Icons}} are sub-categories of {{c|Artwork}}, so images shouldn't be tagged with both. Just the most specific tags should be on there (i.e. Character is better than Artwork in narrowing down the kind of image it is). | *{{c|Characters}} and {{c|Icons}} are sub-categories of {{c|Artwork}}, so images shouldn't be tagged with both.

*Image names don't have to contain only full words and spaces; as you can see on the [[StrategyWiki: | *Image names don't have to contain only full words and spaces; as you can see on the [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Image naming|policy page]], abbreviations are fine!

I hope you know that you are a ''de facto'' member of the [[StrategyWiki:Cleanup project|Cleanup project]]! If you want, you can put a <nowiki>[[Category:Cleanup project members|B]]</nowiki> tag on your userpage to represent. Thanks again for helping to fix some of our more retarded images! - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']][[User_talk:Najzere|<font color="green">zere</font>]] 17:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC) | I hope you know that you are a ''de facto'' member of the [[StrategyWiki:Cleanup project|Cleanup project]]!

:Ahh, now we have a problem. Please don't create your own image categories, like Paper Mario badges. Also don't remove proper image categories from images (like Sprites). Technically, almost every image should be categorized as either {{c|Sprites}} or {{c|Models}}. Then a descriptive category, such as Items, Characters, Icons, etc. Finally, they should be tagged with the guide-specific category (i.e. ''Game Name'' images). Images that don't use Sprites or Models categories are images like Photos, Box artwork, Screenshots. You're making a lot of edits right now, and I have to come through and fix too many of them.

::Okay, last warning. I hate having to do this, because I think your heart is in the right place, but I really don't feel like having to delete 50+ redirects from unnecessary page moves. You need to look at what I've been saying about our naming policy and stop creating unneeded hassles by renaming images that are fine. Something like "Paper Mario nutty cake.gif" to "Paper Mario item nutty cake.gif" is ridiculous. The image should be tagged with the Items category, plus I think it's fairly obvious it is an item. It doesn't need to say so in the name of the file. Please stop renaming images that already conform to our policy. Please read through the links I've been posting on your talk page. If this continues, I will block you for a couple days. Let's not have it come to that.
