:Thank you for categorizing your image. Please watch your capitalization in the category names, though. See [http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AMstLb_Boxart.jpg&diff=416909&oldid=416908 this diff] for an example (ie.

Please stop uploading images until you read and understand [[StrategyWiki:Images|this policy]]. Filenames must have the game name or an abbreviation in the title. This means put "LF2" at the beginning of the image names you upload. Secondly, "Guide-specific images" is not a category that belongs on individual images. That's the category containing the "Little Fighter 2 images" category. "Little Fighter 2 images" is the guide-specific image category that goes on those images. The other category should be "Sprites". I renamed and recategorized all the images you uploaded yesterday, so use those as an example. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 15:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:Image naming and categorization is a simple policy, which you seem unable or unwilling to follow. So that we don't have to have this recurring discussion, you will begin to be blocked for short times for improperly uploading images. No one wants to see you kept from editing the wiki, but the alternative is to let you upload whatever you want, which takes other people's precious time to fix. So, unfortunately, we have no other recourse. You can avoid a block by correctly uploading images as has been outlined numerous times here, or simply avoid uploading at all. Thanks and good luck. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 20:15, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

== Crash of the Titans (DS) ==
Hi, try to avoid multiple-level bulleted lists on the ToC, as they falsely imply that the lower-level pages are subpages of the higher-level ones, and they usually indicate the information on those pages should really be sections of the higher-level pages. It is actually much easier to split a page that gets too big into smaller ones than to combine pages, because in the latter case, the pages' histories have to be merged. For example, consider putting the information from the three pages under ''Wumpa Island'' into the ''Wumpa Island'' page instead of making separate pages for all of them. Looking at [[Crash of the Titans (DS)/Dingodile|the Dingodile page]], it doesn't seem to have the breadth of information to support its own page. I hope you get a feel for this, because it's been brought up on the other guides you've worked on, and I'd like to see you be able to write your walkthroughs without the cleanup crew giving you grief each time. :) - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 16:48, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
== Fighting games ==
Hi, please take a look at the other fighting game guides to see how the Character pages are set up. ([[Street Fighter II/Characters/Blanka|Here's a random one]].) The bio goes at the top and then the moves from each game get transcluded under the appropriate sections. Please stop putting the bio under the game section on [[Little Fighter/Freeze]]. Also, don't speak from the first-person on guide pages (i.e. don't use "I" or "we").

As you were warned about [[#Image uploads|earlier]], continuing to improperly upload images will result in temporary bans. This is the first and lightest, just two hours, to let you know that our policies will be enforced. Future blocks will increase in length, but whether you receive any is entirely up to you. You can read all the advice from the earlier thread, you can read the [[StrategyWiki:Images|image policy]], or you could just look at all the images you've uploaded to see the changes that others have had to make. However you do it, please follow our image policy by putting the name of the game or its abbreviation at the beginning of the file name and include the proper categories in the summary when uploading. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on my talk page. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 20:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
:Apparently I still have to reiterate that <nowiki>[[Category:Guide-specific images]]</nowiki> '''does not go on individual images'''. Forget you ever learned about that category, okay? In the very few instances where the category is used, ''I'll do it for you''. Just stick to the normal image category (e.g. Characters) and the guide image category (e.g. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story images). That part was good, and that's all you need.
