[edit] Xiaolin Showdown episodes

When you create articles for Xiaolin Showdown episodes, can you add [[Category:Xiaolin Showdown episodes]] so it can be listed in the category? Also, if there is not a page (or redirect) that has the title of an episode of the series, the "(Xiaolin Showdown)" at the end of the article name is not necessary (with or without a space separated). Ryulong 22:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Again, please do not forget to add the Xiaolin Showdown episodes category to the articles when you are done. It helps keep all of the episodes together. Ryulong 19:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Silk Spitter → Silk Spinner

Please stop making this change. The name of the item is the Silk Spitter. That is the name that they use in the show and in the card game. The next time you make this edit, I will count it as vandalism. Ryulong 20:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The same thing goes for the Tongue of Saiping to the Tongue of Tsaiping. The Kids WB website (although a forum) lists it as the Tongue of Saiping, as do the rest of the Xiaolin Showdown information on Wikipedia. Ryulong 23:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Please do not deliberately introduce incorrect information into articles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Ryulong 19:30, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I apologize. It's just that several editors think that it is the "Silk Spinner" for some strange reason. That's why the hidden message is in there, as well as my comments on the article's talk page. Ryulong 19:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uploading pictures for Xiaolin Showdown

When you upload a file, you have to tag it as a TV screenshot by choosing it from the drop list or placing "{{tv-screenshot}}" (without the quotes) in the editting space where you upload. Also remember to add the category Category:Xiaolin Showdown so it can be categorized correctly. You do this by adding "[[Category:Xiaolin Showdown]]" (again, without the quotes) into the editting box. Also, remember to add the following text into the editting box, as well: "A still of the animated television series, ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]''". You can also be more specific, by stating what is in the picture specifically (be sure to name the image accordingly). Also, in order for the images to be qualified as fair use, they have to be low-resolution, so adding say photographs of the television, and they're really big, doesn't really help. Images around like 600 x 480 or 800 x 600 are better than things that my 1920 by 1200 screen can't process. Ryulong 19:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but where in Wikapedia do you upload it?

Sorry, there's a link on the left sidebar that says "Upload file." Ryulong 22:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Or you can click here. Ryulong 22:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

And sorry once more, i did everything you said, but the uploader doesn't allow any of my images. How is that? (Sorry if i'm disturbing you.)

What is the message that you are getting when you are trying to upload an image? Ryulong 22:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

It says that BMP images aren't recommended file format.

Ah... Bitmaps are much to large for Wikipedia. Try saving the pictures as jpegs, gifs, or pngs. Ryulong 22:23, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

How do i do that?

Well, image editors can save images as JPG, GIF, or PNG. You just have to make it such. Since you have BMPs, you must be using MS Paint. To change what the file saves as, when you save the file, under file type, change it to one of the other file types. Ryulong 22:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks man, check out my newly uploaded pics will yah?

I have, but you must remember that when you upload pictures that are screenshots of television, you must choose that under copyright information, or add "{{tv-screenshot}}" to the editting box when you first upload them. The images might be deleted otherwise. Also, you must remember to add [[Category:Xiaolin Showdown]] to the box, too. Ryulong 23:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Would you put that when naming your image or when giving descriptions and authors name?

[edit] License tagging for Image:Kimiko with Silk Spinner and Shroud Of Shadows.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Kimiko with Silk Spinner and Shroud Of Shadows.JPG.
