About Uploading ImagesEdit

Greetings! I have noticed that you have uploaded a number of images lately. When doing so, please make sure to crop the images so there are no visible black lines or borders. Also, when you upload, make sure you cite your resources. Thanks! - V. Adm. Enzo Aquarius 19:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

For an example, look at File:Ansata attack.jpg, which is the fixed version of one of your previously uploaded images. The image has been cropped, with proper links added, a citation and license. Make sure to follow this example for your future uploads. Thanks! :) - V. Adm. Enzo Aquarius 20:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Just as a note, in case you didn't read it, I answered your question on my talk page. :) - V. Adm. Enzo Aquarius...I'm listening 23:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Btw, when re-uploading the imgs to fix the black borders, just upload them over the original images you uploaded. It's so much simpler in the long run. :) -- Sulfur 01:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Somehow I got a totally different file name when I fixed it. I'll work on it. :)

Just choose the "upload a new version of this file" when you're on the image's page. Also, please make sure that you sign your comments on talk pages with the signature button above or -- ~~~~.  :) -- Sulfur 01:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I got that mastered. lol. I got some work to do. Keep an eye on "The Wounded".– Redfenril 01:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Not to ride you on this, but also, make sure you are not creating duplicate files, I'm not sure we need so many of the Phoenix. Additionally, when naming your files, make sure your .JPG file extension is lower case as .jpg. I believe this is all stated on the upload page, and was somehow overlooked:

• "STOP! Before you upload a file, make sure to read and follow the image use policy. <snip>
• "If a file with the name you are specifying already exists on the wiki, it will be replaced without warning. Unless you intend to update a file, it's recommended that you check first to make sure the file name isn't already in use. <snip>
• "Note: File names on Memory Alpha are case sensitive. Please use lowercase file extensions wherever possible!"

Thanks. --Alan 17:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Noted for further reference. Thanks Alan. – Redfenril 17:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Don LaFontaine Edit

Hi, Redfenril. Just wanted to let you know that you need to cite the source which states that Don LaFontaine was indeed the voice-over for the trailers you mentioned. Thanks! --From Andoria with Love 23:43, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
