I just wanted to say hi, and tell you to check out my blog page when you have the time, and that Zoomers are amazing. Metroid Master 01:37, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Images Warning
Hello Wonderwalrus. This message is to inform you that an image you recently uploaded, Samus Walrus.jpg, has been deleted in accordance with the Images Policy because it was a fanart image, yet did not bear the proper fanart tag, which must be added after the image is uploaded, nor did it bear a licensing tag, which must be selected when the image is uploaded. Please read the Images Policy in its entirety before uploading any more images to Wikitroid, paying special attention to the sections of the policy dealing with fanart. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page, via email, or to ask any other active administrator. Thanks, FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) - Would you like to participate in the new forum trials? 04:36, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

An image you recently uploaded to Wikitroid, File:Giant_Sidehopper.gif, has been deleted for the following reasons:
 * It was incorrectly licensed
 * It was an exactly duplicate of the image Metroid-bigbluehopper.gif

You incorrectly tagged the image you uploaded with a Public Domain tag, while it should have been tagged with a fairuse tag. Also, you uploaded a duplicate image. You should check articles on the subject you are uploading an image of to verify that the image has not already been uploaded, and, at the very least, you should check the image's description page after it has been uploaded and make sure it is not marked as the duplicate of another image, and if it is, immediately tag it for speedy deletion.

I strongly advise that you (re-)read the Images Policy, and please remember that, like any other policy here at Wikitroid, repeated and consistent violation of the Images Policy may result in a ban, in this case, on uploading images. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page or connect to our IRC chat channel. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) - Would you like to participate in the new forum trials? 04:38, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Bummer
That's a downer. I liked my samus walrus, but I understand. Copyrighting and all that jazz...

Wonderwalrus 21:08, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome...
I did something nice for you; I restored your image and gave it proper image licensing. Just be sure to do this in the future. Thank you RoyboyX, thank you. Also, please stay and make more edits :P. -- R o y b o y X {ADMIN} 02:01, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, it would seem that RoyboyX doesn't know the difference between a licensing tag and a fanart tag. He only added the fanart tag. The image still needs a licensing tag. It is your responsibility to add the licensing tag to the image. If you don't do so within seven days (one week), it will be deleted again. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) - Would you like to participate in the new forum trials? 05:43, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * ...well, I looked at the licensing page... (but i don't know HOW to put the tag on t my image) I know why i need a licensing tag, just not how to do it.Wonderwalrus 12:52, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

I added the fanart tag for you. You need to say whether you drew the picture or if you got it from someone else. -- R o y b o y X {ADMIN} 12:58, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

I drew the picture myself, but I don't know what to do in order to create fanart and licensing tags. (I would like to know, though)

Wonderwalrus 13:01, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

You have to type two of these: { and then place Fanart or Fairuse or whatever in between, then put two of these: }. -- R o y b o y X {ADMIN} 13:02, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

...Oh. then the licensing tag is added before the image is uploaded, right?

Wonderwalrus 13:04, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

When you upload the image you can choose the licensing at the top (this does not include fanart). You have to go to the image and type what I said if the image is fanart, as well as state who created the fanart, be it you or Da Vinci (:P). -- R o y b o y X {ADMIN} 13:13, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I think i get it. I upgraded my samus walrus picture and i believe it has the correct tags now. Thank you VERY much for your help. :3= (by the way, that's a walrus)

Your edit to Super Metroid
I would like to praise you for the removal of the red link for WarioWare: Smooth Moves, but I am warning you that it has a risk of revert (though I will not do it). -- R o y b o y X {ADMIN} 22:24, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, I concur with your removal of the link, but I was warning you that someone might revert it. -- R o y b o y X {ADMIN} 00:39, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. You should have reverted it RoyboyX. And WonderWalrus should have never removed them. People have been saying that for the past few weeks, and I just said that in the Forum:Project Other M.
