#'''Personal Images''' – some of you have over 10 personal images, and note that the personal image policy says you can only have four (five including signature image). Some of you just upload and stick them onto your user pages without even labeling them as personal images. I found a shocking number of unlabeled personal image while going through all images. Some of you didn't know about it before and that's okay. But now that you do know after reading this, you should take responsibility and dispose of your extra personal images. Tell other new users and friends who aren't aware of the rule too. | #'''Personal Images''' – some of you have over 10 personal images, and note that the personal image policy says you can only have four (five including signature image).

#'''Stubby pages''' – some of you have been creating one sentence pages, mainly around SPM. Others like the [[Fay]] article use <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> to simply look like the writer gave no effort in creating the page and copy & pasted it. My point is, if you don't know anything about an article (other than what game it appears in), don't create it at all. This drives away the attention on the red links and drives serious writers away. I mean no one wants to work on crappy pages, do they? | #'''Stubby pages''' – some of you have been creating one sentence pages, mainly around SPM.

#'''Vandalism''' – you all need to be informed in this department. You guys shouldn't block anyone on first warning. People make mistakes, it happens. Some people could be caught up in recent sockpuppet vandalism problem. Before anybody blocks or suspects another user of being a sockpuppet, give the user a chance. At first offense, use {{Tem|Reminder}}. If you have reason to suspect the user is deliberately continuing trollish actions, us {{Tem|Warning}}.

If you have reason to suspect the user is deliberately continuing trollish actions, us {{Tem|Warning}}. If the user continues with the maliceful behavior despite knowing the consequences, use {{Tem|Last warning}}. If the user disregards the Lastwarn template, then it is appropriate to block him/her. After doing so, place {{Tem|Block}} on the user's talk page including information about how long he has been blocked. Remember to keep block times sensible. Don't block a user for an infinite amount of time just because he/she was creating bad articles or spamming. The only time it is really okay to block a user for an infinite amount of time is if that user is a [[MarioWiki:Trolls|troll]]. IP blocks are only used for drastic measures as well. Use common sense. | ||

I'm especially getting tired of using {{tem|personal-file}} all the time on certain users' images. {{tem|aboutfile}} is optional, but good for article images. One-sentence image summaries is usually sufficient, depending on the content. | ||

#Remember [[ | #Remember [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]]. It also advises to not create the article if you know nothing about it. Construction pages for SPM, like the list pages, are fine, but one-sentence pages are not. [[Catch Card]] is an excellent example of what we're looking for. | ||
#I have to half-agree and half-disagree here. The warning templates in order should be used, sometimes if it's bad the first time you can skip to {{tem|warning}} right away. But spammers will come back after their block is up, so we rarely do not block indefinitely. The "block time" variable is mostly nonexistent on this wiki.

Also, I agree with the IP thing. There are quite a few IPs that have been blocked on first offenses.

Yeah, thanks for locating all the personal images. Don't forget [[User:Dry Bones/Yoshi animation|this]] as well. | Yeah, thanks for locating all the personal images.

::I think that certain exceptions, like Aipom's Comic Archive, should be allowed. But that should ONLY be used it certain cases. {{User:TheGreatBlockyBoo/sig|Now me, I don't have to worry...}} | |||
:::Thinking about the rules (look at the top of this section) makes sense, I'll think I'm goanna start this at problemly tommorow; after school. Only "Image Uploading" and problemly "Stubby Pages" Confused posted in this section {{User:RAP/sig}} [[Special:Contributions/RAP|All right, let's go let's go! Let's clean up this whole crazy place!!]] | |||
# Not Aipom's Comic Archive! anything but that! | |||
# I told DB about the Dry Pics page a month ago. | |||

[[User:Isyou]] is also a pretty big offender, he | |||
have thirteen personnal image and a crapload that he did not put on his userpage. And yeah, Aipom's Comic shoul'dnt be deleted. | |||
[[User:Gofer|Gofer]] | |||
:Aipom can just link his comics externally like [[User:Plumber/Comic Archive|Plumber does]], so he wouldn't have to upload them. If he did that, then they wouldn't count as personal images. --{{User:Yoshi626/Signature}} 07:47, 26 April 2007 (EDT) | |||
::How can you do that? I'd really like to spruce up my user page, too ;) --[[User:Stumpers|Stumpers]] | |||
To show images from another source, simply enter the full url of the image into the source code (<nowiki>http://img.photobucket.com/album/username/image.ext</nowiki>). You can't resize it, so if it's big, just link the pages. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 15:25, 26 April 2007 (EDT) | |||
Thank you, kind sirs! --[[User:Stumpers|Stumpers]] | |||
I delete the personal image on Dry Pics and sorry max I don't really look at the disscussion on pics. | |||
{{User:Dry Bones/sig| sorry I had to many}} | |||
Don't just delete the PI template; add this too: <nowiki>{{delete|Abandoned/extra PI.}}</nowiki> {{User:3dejong/sig|gooorooo.}} | |||
If anyone needs to upload an image, click the glowing Mario in my sig, when it finished uploading, go to the bottom where it says "Image URL", copy that, and paste it on your page (without any brackets or anything, just paste it, but make sure it doesn't touch something else likethis) {{User:Plumber/sig}} | |||
Is there any way to put an external image in a thumbnail? {{User:Plumber/sig}} | |||
Dude, I wish. {{User:3dejong/sig|we can dream.... zzzzz...}} | |||
... What do you mean? Do you mean I can not put images from imageshack on my userpage? And what do you mean by others I didnt use?!? {{User:isyou/sig}} | |||
No, you can put external images on your page. ANd the ones you didn't use probably you forgot about them. {{User:Plumber/sig}} | |||
What is an external image? And also, I put a delete tag on my pics when i'm done with them... {{User:isyou/sig}} | |||
Can you look at, for example, what pages have "Personal-image|Maxlover2"??? {{User:Maxlover2/sig}} | |||
An external image is an image from Picoodle or ImageShack or something that wasn't uploaded here. {{User:Plumber/sig}} | |||
Then why was I screamed at? I counted. I have 4 personal images. 2 of them are personal images from different users.{{User:isyou/sig}} | |||
D'oh, sorry. | |||
[[User:Gofer|Gofer]] | |||
