* Firstly, you still continued to replace Jodie's image on Movie 18's article with something irrelevant and ignore other users' reverts completely.

One of the very few instances where unofficial illustrations were welcomed are Skyechan's explanations on the piano codes in [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], which greatly helped the readers understand them better. If one fanart is displayed just for the sake of depicting something, showing how well it was drawn, or any other purpose, it's not allowed. You can put one or two things you drew (or someone else's art '''if you have their permission''') on your own userpage, with reasonable size. However, that's all we'll tolerate and if we find that the number of which is excessive, we have the privilege to remove them.

* Please don't edit or do anything to other people's userpages without their permission, even if they're not protected.

I still had to revert your newly uploaded images because they're still very small. But more importantly, the image qualities still haven't met our standard, there are many visible JPEG artifacts. I'm sorry to say this, but as long as the previous version is better, your images will be eventually reverted to that version, so please pay more attention to the quality when uploading a replacement. So here are some fundamental things you should consider before doing that:
 +
# If the original image is better than your version in many aspects, it's better to leave it alone. If people think that your version doesn't meet the standard, it'll most likely be reverted anyway.
 +
# Make sure that the source where you take the screenshot from is in good quality. Usually, official DVDs/Blu-ray Discs, download files of recorded episodes or ripped movies will have much higher qualities than most videos from online streaming sites. You can try searching for those materials.
 +
# Don't shrink or compress the images too much, especially if they're in JPEG format. In fact, if it isn't too heavy, always save the image at highest quality possible.
 +
# Keep the image's original aspect ratio.
 +
# Make sure that your final product meet all (or at least most) of the quality standards stated [[Detective Conan Wiki:Manual of Style/Profile pictures|here]].

Another moderator and I have given you multiple alerts about bad profile images. You haven't communicated with us about why you have continued to upload poor quality profile images. Our wiki policy is to '''ban''' users who are 1) unable to communicate with the moderators or other users about problematic edits ''and'' 2) continue to make edits that are overwhelmingly reverted for being unproductive. We do this because we have limited time and patience to patrol the wiki, and it's our only recourse if communication fails. I am incredibly sorry it has come to this, but you can consider this your final warning unless you can explain why you are trying to change the images to small versions or just stop trying to replace profile images with low quality ones altogether.

Last but not least, compare it to the current version in the Wiki to see if it's really better. It's a tedious work and may take a while, but that's what we do to avoid pointless edit wars like this. You have to understand that the Wiki is not a competition between editors to see who can upload an image faster, who can upload more images, or whose images are being displayed. There is absolutely no reward for those, and you don't really get any more reputation.

Profile Pictures

Sorry, but I reverted the profile pictures you uploaded because they were not very good quality. They were all too small and low resolution. Also, they didn't portray the character as effectively as the current images did. If you want to try again, here is a guide on how to select good profile pictures. Good luck! Chekhov MacGuffin talk 05:34, 5 April 2014 (CEST)

I gave you a heads up about how to choose good profile pictures here already up above. You are consistently uploading pictures that are way too small and thus not satisfactory. That is why people including me keep changing them back to the old ones. If you haven't edited wikis before, you should learn how to do so here [1]. We also have a sandbox for making test edits.
When you upload a new picture, sometimes it still looks like the old picture. Trust the wiki, it changed the image the first time you uploaded it. You just have to reload the page to make it appear correctly. Chekhov MacGuffintalk 15:30, 9 April 2014 (CEST)
Hey, I've given you two notices about the profile pictures. It's starting to become a problem that you are not responding and continuing to upload bad profile pictures. In this kind of situation, all I can do as a moderator is eventually block you. Please don't let it come to that. Let me know that you saw this post and if you need help editing or understanding the manual of style guide. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 18:14, 12 April 2014 (CEST)

Tips on uploading high-quality images

I still had to revert your newly uploaded images because they're still very small. But more importantly, the image qualities still haven't met our standard, there are many visible JPEG artifacts. I'm sorry to say this, but as long as the previous version is better, your images will be eventually reverted to that version, so please pay more attention to the quality when uploading a replacement. So here are some fundamental things you should consider before doing that:

  1. If the original image is better than your version in many aspects, it's better to leave it alone. If people think that your version doesn't meet the standard, it'll most likely be reverted anyway.
  2. Make sure that the source where you take the screenshot from is in good quality. Usually, official DVDs/Blu-ray Discs, download files of recorded episodes or ripped movies will have much higher qualities than most videos from online streaming sites. You can try searching for those materials.
  3. Don't shrink or compress the images too much, especially if they're in JPEG format. In fact, if it isn't too heavy, always save the image at highest quality possible.
  4. Keep the image's original aspect ratio.
  5. Make sure that your final product meet all (or at least most) of the quality standards stated here.

Final warning about images

Another moderator and I have given you multiple alerts about bad profile images. You haven't communicated with us about why you have continued to upload poor quality profile images. Our wiki policy is to ban users who are 1) unable to communicate with the moderators or other users about problematic edits and 2) continue to make edits that are overwhelmingly reverted for being unproductive. We do this because we have limited time and patience to patrol the wiki, and it's our only recourse if communication fails. I am incredibly sorry it has come to this, but you can consider this your final warning unless you can explain why you are trying to change the images to small versions or just stop trying to replace profile images with low quality ones altogether.
