Ok

Someone wanted them to archive so its archived for now.--Brandondorf  18:10, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

Thank you. Blindcolours TONDA GOSSA. 18:54, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

Your communication skills

I'd like to know what your first language is, because it's very hard to understand whatever it is you're saying in most cases. Toomai Glittershine   The Jiggy 23:57, 1 October 2011 (EDT)

I speak english usually because thats my language that i speak.--Brandondorf  00:10, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
On his Youtube, I've noticed he says things way more clearly, why that isn't the case everywhere else I don't know. Blindcolours TONDA GOSSA. 00:04, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
Actually yes and i do speak english. I don't speak other languages than that so i can talk clearly on any site too.--Brandondorf  00:10, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
So you say you can speak English clearly - then why don't you? 90% of your grammar on this wiki is bad enough that you come across as a 12-year old French guy. It's hard to work with someone that as far as we can tell has a language disorder. Toomai Glittershine   The Metroid 10:26, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
Yes i speak english. I'm not a french guy and i live in the united states.--Brandondorf  10:33, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
Understand capitalization, comparisons, and apparently grammar. MegaTron1XD  12:29, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

Atrocious edit war

This is unacceptable. If ReiDemon reverted your version of the file, you should have stopped there and discussed on the talk page. Regardless of whether Miles agreed with you at some point, you are expected to follow SW:1RV. Yes, ReiDemon and BC also violated that rule during that edit war, but I have seen you breach policy multiple times now. Mr. Anon talk 17:35, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

Remember what I said about how your next ban for image related issues will be a long term ban? Stop now. Omega Tyrant   17:41, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

You're walking a thin line

Read SW:TALK, as well as all our other policies.

You seemed like you were improving, stop showing complete disregard of our policies. Omega Tyrant   18:49, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

User page images

You seem to be uploading a lot of images just for your user page (counting your effects). Though there is no rule saying that you can't have too many personal user page images, you should avoid uploading more. MegaTron1XD  22:15, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

The reason because it can show info about me and what i like. You can post as many as you want. Its personal.--Brandondorf  23:31, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
SW:NOT "While personal images can be uploaded for use in the userspace, do not upload an excessive ammount". So no, you cannot upload however much you want.BlindColours FALCON... 23:32, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

you know

Why upload all those unnecessary images? ..... Happy New Year   17:32, 27 December 2011 (EST)

The Ganondorf images

How did you make them transparent? ZeldasmashFile:ZeldaSymbol.pngTalk 18:45, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Because the fire is transparent and it blends materials.--BrandondorfFile:Lemsdadhead_(SSBB).png|6px 18:47, 30 December 2011 (EST)

You've been warned before

Stop "adding transparency" to screenshots. They're not artwork; the term "artwork" implies that the image was created outside the game, which clearly isn't true for the images you've been defacing. Toomai Glittershine   The Labbie 20:11, 30 December 2011 (EST)

The reasons they need it because they look like there are not in-game images.--Brandondorf  20:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)
They quite obviously are in-game screenshots, taken using debug mode functions to make the entire stage black. Toomai Glittershine   The Victorious 20:20, 30 December 2011 (EST)
A debug mode. How would the debug mode make backgrounds black?--Brandondorf  21:17, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Image filenames are not required to have spaces. Moving them in such situations is non-beneficial. Miles (talk) 23:13, 30 December 2011 (EST)

I know but one image i had to change to was the Thorned Helix so that it have no LQ word on the filename.--Brandondorf  23:15, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Image names

I'd like to point out how it's unnecessary to fix the image names like so. Doing so would cause a bit of trouble, since you have to change every page that links to it. MegaTron1XD  00:27, 31 December 2011 (EST)

Communication

Toomai raised this issue before. Unless you are editing on a phone, make your posts clear so that people understand what you are trying to say. Posts like "Yes thats what i like to use for making a fake/false bad character that which was based on the game when they were copied by the shadow bugs" are difficult to read due to poor grammar and spelling. You may understand what you mean, but others do not. A trick to testing this is saying your statement out loud. Mr. Anon talk 15:34, 20 January 2012 (EST)

Its the text you have to read and i think its because of the sharpness or resolution.--Brandondorf  17:25, 20 January 2012 (EST)
No, I'm talking about your grammar and spelling, which makes it difficult to see what you are talking about. I can read your posts fine, but often I have difficulty figuring out what they mean. Mr. Anon talk 19:51, 20 January 2012 (EST)

I'm going to lay this out nice and simple for you.

If you upload an image that is edited in any way ever again, you will be blocked for a year or more. This includes:

  • Anything that involves an edited image, which includes fades, saturations, contrast changes, cropping, scaling, and so on
  • Anything that involves an edited game, which includes texture hacks, model hacks, emulators with any codes turned on, and so on

In addition, you will also be blocked for a few days or a week every time you say something that is not reasonably grammatically-correct English.

Frankly, I'm tired of dealing with you, and I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same. You simply do not appear to learn from your mistakes, and your apparent inability to type proper English does nothing but make it seem like you're some 8-year old talking through an internet translator. So either stop uploading illegitimate images and start communicating properly, or go away. Toomai Glittershine   The Jiggy 09:17, 23 January 2012 (EST)

I'm not currently editing screenshots but for that i think widescreen images can be uploaded if from Dolphin.--Brandondorf  12:43, 23 January 2012 (EST)
Melee does not have a widescreen option, so widescreen screenshots of it are not acceptable. Brawl does have a widescreen option, but the screenshots you had recently uploaded of it were still wider than they're supposed to be, and were thus also unacceptable. Toomai Glittershine   Le Grand Fromage 13:26, 23 January 2012 (EST)
Its called "Widescreen Hack" and "Stretch to Window" Aspect Ratio option. You have go to "Graphics", change the aspect ratio to Stretch to Window, click the Advanced tab and check Widescreen Hack. Its simple.--Brandondorf  14:00, 23 January 2012 (EST)
Yes, it's a hack. That's why it's not acceptable. Toomai Glittershine   The Ghostbuster 14:05, 23 January 2012 (EST)
Toomai's point is that the widescreen you are using simply fills what would otherwise be black bars with a continuation of the background image. Sometimes, this works, but a lot of the time the background wasn't tailored to be used in widescreen, or the widescreen uses a different background image to the 4:3, so you end up with awful things like this. Video games aren't good at switching between aspect ratios; most of the time they simply stretch the image instead to give a false widescreen effect. And even if the game was good at making the image truly widescreen, that's not what the game originally looked like, and this wiki is about the games, not what you can do with the game files when running them through an emulator. The new versions you uploaded were therefore either pointless or ugly, depending on how well the game handled the widescreen at the time. It is obvious to most people seeing those images that the new versions you uploaded were objectively worse, and if you think otherwise, maybe you aren't suited to editing this wiki. PenguinofDeath 14:16, 23 January 2012 (EST)


What did he just say? I've tried to be fair and patient with you, even at times defend you, but at this point I completely agree with Toomai. He made it very clear what SmashWiki would not accept, and you went ahead and did it anyways. If you're here in 2013 when the world is destroyed, just remember that when an admin warns you to not do something, even if you are unsure about whether your action violates his warning, don't do it. Goodbye. Mr. Anon talk 00:23, 9 February 2012 (EST)

You get one warning.

Your first edit after being blocked for a year is exactly the same thing that got you blocked in the first place: uploading images from emulators at illegal sizes for use in the mainspace. Do this one more time and you'll be getting another year-long block. Do not try to argue. Toomai Glittershine   The Different 21:26, 30 June 2013 (EDT)

You missed the point.

Just having an image at the correct resolution is not good enough. They must also not be hacked in any way to expose content that is not normally visible without such hacks. Toomai Glittershine   The Hammer 18:55, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

It's not hacked, it's just the full shot of the area along with the old full screen transfers that display things like that such as the New Line Home Entertainment logo I've saw that contains more top and bottom. As for sure, that's because of the camera that displays things like that. Maybe you may want to change the field of view camera on brawlbox for their camera configurations.--Brandondorf  18:58, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
