Edit summaries
The Resale Template is new, so not all pages will have it yet. The ones with values specifically. No need to have edit summaries like "Learn to use templates". Thanks -- 00:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, the edit summary wasn't intended to be patronising--Anthoron 00:44, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Replacing images
Do not replace images that do not improve the quality, I noticed a handful of your uploads either made the quality worse or the same. Crisp, clear non-transparent replacements only, please. Thanks. -- 00:57, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The quality of my replacements should not be worse---all of them were saved them at maximum quality and there shouldn't be any visible artifacts. The background isn't very smooth... but that's how it looks in-game.--Anthoron 01:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The ones shown in the upload log as reverted showed no visible improvement, perhaps something went wrong with the upload. -- 01:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that it sometimes takes the wiki a bit to display the new image (and shows a skewed version of the old one). If there wasn't a problem with my other uploads, then I suspect something like that was happening.--Anthoron 01:28, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Double-checked the updated filepath, and it still displayed that way. Odd. -- 01:35, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've re-uploaded Image:Hirenjaku Plus 1.jpg. If you're seeing it with a transparent bg, then something weird is happening.--Anthoron 01:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems fine now, shrug. Dunno what happened. -- 01:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

How would I change the file quality when i saved it at the highest I could for a jpg? I used PS to finish taking out the image. I think it looks alright, just curious is all.--Kadengt 23:49, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * How did you obtain the original? There's grain around the text.-- 00:33, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

IRC
If you're so inclined, you can chat with other wiki folks on our IRC chat. -- 17:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Image quality
You have marked 2 of my recent image uploads as low quality. I would like to correct the problem if I can, I still have the original screenshots, and would be able to crop them again and save as a better quality. I'm just unsure of what would be considered good quality. --scynscapa 21:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is just grain around the text, caused by too much compression (see Image:Image Grain Example.jpg for a particularly bad example). Unfortunately, Microsoft Paint and the Windows Photo Gallery (the tools that come with Windows) don't give you any choice and save poor quality images. You'll need to use a tool that lets you choose the quality of saved files (you want to set it at maximum); Paint.NET is a great free tool for this.-- 23:25, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Patroller
Per a discussion amongst myself and the other admins, we've agreed that you deserve the right of Patroller for your contributions here. All your edits will be auto-patrolled (meaning we don't need to check them, you make good edits), you can patrol the edits of others (notice the red ! in recent changes) to ensure they are correct and vandalism free, if so you may choose to [mark as patrolled]. If you see vandalism or other bad faith edits, you also have the ability to roll them back, as can be found on diff, contributions, and history pages. Congrats and thanks for everything you do around here. -- 12:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Moves
Is this how it appears in inventory?, which it as why it may have been created that way. If so, don't slap a smove on it, move it yourself you lazy bum! -- 19:11, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ooo, I didn't see the new button there--I tend to just use the shortcut keys, so I don't look up there. I'll double-check the inventory name when I get a chance and move it.-- 01:00, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we decided it was a feasible idea to add the move ability to patrollers since such a large version update is approaching and sometimes when new content is added en masse, editors don't always following naming conventions or make small typos or otherwise require a speedy move.
 * In response to your question, no it's not possible (at this time). In the upcoming MediaWiki upgrade happening in the next 2 weeks, users that can delete will have the option not to make a redirect. However, for those who won't have this available, or until the upgrade...simply mark the old page for speedy deletion after checking to make sure all links have been updated to the new location. -- 16:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
