Uhhh

You can add images, just don't add a million spaces, May I ask why you are even doing that? ^Maverick_Nate 12:46, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi Maverick, sorry about the spaces, I only put them in because when I added the japanese image that I had removed from the "PokémoncardInfobox" as a thumb image in the "release information" section the "trivia" section below was pushed out of alignment and the trivia underline appeared to be running through the card info box, adding the spaces brought everything back into alignment. I'm new to wiki-coding and am still learning, clearly I stuffed that up sorry - thanks for fixing it. I noticed you have removed the japanese images from the pages entirely, there were several other pages with japanese only images that I was going to update with english scans, would you prefer that I remove any japanese images that I replace entirely? Also I was going to add scans of the e-reader instruction card that was packaged along with wizards promo 50 celebi to the release information section of that cards page - as well as updating the image - would you prefer that I didnt add scans of the instruction card? You just seem to prefer not to have additional images on the pages and I'd rather save you from having to come along and remove them later. Sorry again about this, I only joined today and clearly I still have alot to learn, thanks for your help. Zac.

Well, your scans are extremely awesome. It isn't the fact that I don't like extra images, it is just that the reason we have the images is for the artwork. When the cards are the same, except for the language thay are in, we don't need two of the same image. I'd like to see the instruction card though, because it seems important, and I would like to see what we can do with it. It isn't a problem about fixing it later, I just didn't think that they were needed. Also, the trivia line runs through the infoboxes, sometimes, but it isn't really a big deal. I hope you stay for a while, because your scans are fantastic. What sets do you have cards in? Do you think you could possibly fill in any of the ones here? Also, whenever you write a comment on a talk page, put ~~~~ after it. It puts in your name for you and is a really helpful for people to get to your page. ^Maverick_Nate 14:49, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

More scans on the way

Hey Maverick, thanks for the tips, glad you like the scans, there are plenty more where they came from. I see what you mean about doubling up on images, if your focus is on the artwork then theres really no need for multiple images. I have cards from the following sets and am constantly filling gaps and starting new sets

Wizards promos, DP promos, Base (shadow), Jungle, fossil, Team Rocket, Base 2, Gym Challenge, Ex Crystal Guardians, Ex Dragon, Ex Unseen Forces, Ex Power Keepers, Ex Team Rocket Returns, Ex Deoxys, Ex Hidden Legends, Ex Legend Maker, Ex Sandstorm, Ex Fire Red Leaf Green, Ex Holon Phantoms, Ex Dragon Frontiers, Ex Emerald, Ex Delta Species, Ex Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl Base, DP Mysterious Treasures, DP Secret Wonders, DP Great Encounters, DP Majestic Dawn, DP Legends Awakened, DP Stormfront and Platinum Base (+ Platinum rising rivas when its released)- although I dont have any Neo or e-card sets I am planning on starting these pretty soon, along with the remaining promo sets and a few other odd sets I'm missing.

I've had a quick look through my sets for A-K images you are missing and I can help with the following

Cacnea (EX Crystal Guardians 47), Cacnea (Great Encounters 62), Cascoon (EX Legend Maker 30), Chikorita (EX Unseen Forces 51), Chinchou (EX Unseen Forces 52), Combusken (EX Crystal Guardians 16), Combusken (Great Encounters 35), Combusken (POP Series 4 6), Crobat δ (EX Delta Species 2), Cubone (EX Delta Species 60), Diglett (EX Crystal Guardians 50), Donphan (EX Holon Phantoms 40), Dragonair δ (EX Delta Species 42), Dratini δ (EX Delta Species 66), Dunsparce (EX Legend Maker 31), Electabuzz δ (EX Dragon Frontiers 29), Electrode (EX Legend Maker 32), Exploud (Great Encounters 17), Fearow δ (EX Crystal Guardians 18), Feebas (Great Encounters 67), Flaaffy δ (EX Dragon Frontiers 30), Furret (EX Legend Maker 33), Geodude (EX Legend Maker 53), Golbat (EX Delta Species 43), Graveler (EX Legend Maker 34), Grovyle δ (EX Crystal Guardians 19), Gulpin (EX Crystal Guardians 33), Gyarados δ (EX Holon Phantoms 8), Ho-Oh (EX Unseen Forces 27), Holon Fossil (EX Holon Phantoms 86), Horsea δ (EX Holon Phantoms 66), Illumise (EX Delta Species 45), Jigglypuff (EX Crystal Guardians 53), Kabutops (EX Power Keepers 10), Kyogre (Reverse Holo)(EX Emerald 6)

I will look though L-Z tomorrow night and will scan these and upload them over the next few days, I'm sure I'll have more but it will take a while to go through everything. Also are you interested in deck box scans/instruction booklet scans/booster box scans? I have several of these in my collection and would be more than happy to provide scans if you are interested in packaging. Thanks, Zedbill 12:12, 20 April 2009 (UTC).

Deck boxes and such would be very interesting to have scans of, if you could get those, it would be great. But, when uploading the cards, make sure to tag the images. That can be done on the upload screen, to do this, just change the Licensing from "None Selected" to "Pokémon TCG card". There are other things that should be done, but I will take care of them until you feel comfortable. We would rather you fill in the ones without images first if you can, and then switch in the others. Some of us have card scans that we would like to switch out as well for quality, but that is far off when things slow down. About posting on talk pages, it can go on either one. I check your's if you reply, but I get the message if it is on mine. Typically, we like conversations to all be on one page, so replying here will work perfectly. For the current sets, some images are okay, don't need to be replaced, and we would like to keep them, but I will explain to you how we decide what we need once Rising Rivals comes out, okay? (I need to figure out the system better myself) ^Maverick_Nate 19:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi

I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --Kevzo8 12:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
