Re: Image request
What is it about image uploading that you're having a problem with? - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 19:09, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

To be honest I'm not entirely sure what I've done wrong. I've tried to follow the steps on Darthpedia but I just can't do it. I think it might have something to do with where to send the image and possibly the sourcing. How can you tell if a source is an original source or not? But I can't even get the image in the first place and I must say I'm getting very annoyed about it. Why can't you just paste an image onto this site? That would be a hundred times easier.--Powerstaark (Talk) 19:15, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Paste as in hotlink? Most people who host images don't appreciate hotlinking, and even then you wouldn't be able to resize the image. Can you take me through step by step how you've tried to upload an image? It'll help me to help you. As for the image you requested, I'd rather not upload that. While using that image could be considered fair use, I don't like uploading other people's work without their express permission. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 19:17, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

I've got the first three steps okay, I think. Getting to the upload page is easy, and they provide you with a summary. So far so good.

After that I put www.hennesseyproject.com/starwars/Twi%27lek_jpg in the source filename box. When I click off the source filename box it gives me Twi%27lek_jpg in the destination filename box.

I put www.hennesseyproject.com/starwars/ in the source part of the summary box and then I put fairuse in the licencing part of the summary box.

Then in the licencing box underneath I put in Copyrighted, fair use.

Then I pressed the browse button and nothing happened.

Out of watch this file and ignore any warnings I chose Watch this file.

Then I pressed the upload file button and again nothing happened.--Powerstaark (Talk) 19:37, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, I see where your issue is. You're trying to upload images directly from other websites. You can't do that. You have to save the image to your computer and then upload it from your computer. That's what the "Browse" button is for. You click that and then find where you saved your image. Then you fill out the summary information and click the "Upload" button. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 19:44, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Do you mean I need to put the image on word and upload it from there?--Powerstaark (Talk) 19:46, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * No, you save the image directly to your computer. When you see an image you want, right click on it, click "Save Image As," and then save it where you want on your computer. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 19:49, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

I almost managed it but then it said "The filename "Twi%27lek_jedi_green.jpg" contains characters that are not allowed in page titles. Please rename the file and try uploading it again." What filename is allowed and does it go in the Source filename or the Destination filename? Thank you for all you're help but I've still got a little further to go.--Powerstaark (Talk) 20:12, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Put TwilekJediGreen.jpg as the destination file name. Try it exactly like that. Just out of curiosity as well, are you new to using computers? - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 20:21, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

No I'm not new to using computers but I am new to uploading images on computers. I have one more question; how do I get the picture onto Carmen Conrose's page and how do I make sure I've put the picture in the right place?--Powerstaark (Talk) 20:28, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Great job! You successfully uploaded the image! As for putting it into the right place, that depends where you want it. If you want it in an infobox, you'd put TwilekJediGreen.jpg next to "image=" in the infobox. If you just want it to be the main picture without an infobox, put TwilekJediGreen.jpg just above the article's introduction. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 21:38, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Edit
An IP has recently edited your Carmen Conrose article; as a precaution in case it's not you, I rollbacked it. If it is, please do inform us so we know for future reference. :) --Darth tom  (Message me) (Contributions) 17:58, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

It's usually, if not always me who Carmen Conrose's page; sometimes I forget to login. The image has been taken off. That image was allowed wasn't it?--Powerstaark (Talk) 18:06, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Guy's I made a mistake while trying to upload in image. Is it possible to delete pages? If it is I want to get rid of page with a too small image of Sora Bulq on it. I tried to fix it but I don't know how. And now I can't even find the page! Please don't throw me off the site! --Powerstaark (Talk) 18:13, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * I put a template on the image for the time being, one of the admins will see it and take care of it.  Though, if the image is just too small, then click on the "Upload a new version" link and upload a larger image.  Users can't delete pages, though they can request deletions from admins.


 * Though, do you mean you wanna delete the article that you put the image in?  Trak Nar  Ramble on 18:26, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

I don't want anyone to delete my Sora Bulq article. --Powerstaark (Talk) 16:58, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Images
Well that's really very simple. You choose a character infobox that you want to use, copy and paste the template that you can find there into your article, and then fill out all of the information in the appropriate sections. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 17:25, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Where do you find the character infobox template? --Powerstaark (Talk) 18:04, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Here. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:16, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I went to the infobox templates and tried to get an infobox but couldn't. I managed to sort out another picture in the article but I still don't know how to do the infobox.--Powerstaark (Talk) 19:19, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you hold the left clicker down, drag it over the "usage" section, and then right click and select copy? That would automatically copy it for you and then all you need to do is paste it in your article.- Chosen One So the Prophecy says... ''' 20:06, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I fixed it for you. Study how it is set up, and you should figure out how to do it.- Chosen One So the Prophecy says... ''' 20:15, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem, just remember to always take the infobox from the source, never copy it from another article. The source infobox is more accurate.- Chosen One So the Prophecy says... ''' 20:19, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Only if the other person didn't create the images or make significant modifications to it. If they did create it or significantly modify it, you need to ask permission. Otherwise you're free to use them. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:00, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Article creation limits?
Absolutely not. Make as many as you want! =) - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:50, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, you don't need to ask for anyone's permission to add your content to Jedi Guardian. As the template at the top says, it's a free-add article. You're free to add whatever you want. Just please don't remove any of the preexisting content, as there's no reason to do that. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:56, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

That's a good possibility too. You could call it Jedi Guardian (Powerstaark) and it'd be yours alone to edit. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:24, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Catagories
Have you tried cateragorizing your articles? Plus whats the name of the fanfic that they appear on? Drsdino (Talk) 00:14, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * The fanfic they appear on is one I've written on Word and I put it on fanfictionnet but then I decided to take it off. However I've not given up on it; the main reason I took it off is because the Clone Wars series is a vital part of the fanfic but since the series is only on its second season I decided to abandon it for the time being. If you must know the name of the fic it is called "Bonds of the Force" but I might change the title if I come up with a better one.--Powerstaark (Talk) 11:16, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes I have cateragorized some of my articles but the trouble is it's difficult to find them in those categories because of all the other articles in there. I was considering making a category dedicated to Powerstaark, if that's alright. If I do make that category I just hope I don't make a mess of it because I've never made a category before.--Powerstaark (Talk) 11:16, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
