Heya :) Thanks for your recent edits. I see that our welcome bot inadvertently missed giving you a welcome message, along with a basic overview of our rules. So I've plopped them on your page manually. Sorry about that. Had they showed up on your page today, you'd have been able to find one of our important image rules -- [[Tardis:Images and perspective|we never illustrate characters with promotional images]]. Please take some time to read this rule, as well as [[T:ICC|our image cheat sheet]] so that you can be familiar with our image use rules. Thanks! :) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 19:04: Mon 19 Jun 2017</span> | Heya :) Thanks for your recent edits.

=== Other image issues === | |||
Hey again. Sorry to be back so soon on your talk page, but some other issues have arisen since I last left a message here. | |||
* [[:file:Something in the dark.png|Something in the dark.png]] is a png, which is disallowed; '''all screenshots must be .jpgs'''. | |||
** It is also 1.41mb, which is way, way, too big. Max size for screenshots is 100 ''kilo''bytes (kb). You can use a site like http://tinypng.com to bring down the size of jpgs. | |||
** It also has no copyright license on it. You must use the most accurate [[tardis:copyright tags|copyright tag]] on your images. A handy drop-down menu is present at [[Special:Upload]]. Most of the time, screenshots use {{tlx|screenshot}}. | |||
** The image is also not categorised in any way. You should at least add the category for the TV story involved (in this case I think it's probably [[:Category:They Keep Killing Suzie TV story images]]) and the one for the main subject of the image, if there is one. In this case, we don't have such a category, because [[Suzie Costello]] is a relatively minor character. | |||
*You've additionally uploaded [[:File:738f7857e8731e95a33ca122aae09772.jpg]] which fails our standards because: | |||
** It's too narrow -- all images must be at least 420px wide | |||
** It's practically square -- all images should attempt widescreen aspect ratios of 16:9 where possible. Since this image derives from a 21st century TV show shot in 16:9, it was certainly possible to obtain a widescreen image. | |||
**It's also not a particularly sharp image. | |||
**Its name is gibberish. All file names need to be plain English descriptions of their content. | |||
**It has some of the same flaws as the previous image: no license tag, no categories. | |||
For the benefit of Tardis readers, I urge you again to '''[[T:IUP|please read and abide by our image policies]]'''. Failure to do so may result in the temporary suspension of your editing rights here. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 02:00: Tue 20 Jun 2017</span> | |||
