| ::I don't see the issue with altering an image to make it look unaltered and how it is actually supposed to look in the first place. I don't view it as "presenting these images in a false light".

| ::::If the images were altered before, they should indeed be replaced. However, altering the images to make them look unaltered is not the way to do this. First of all, because it's hard to tell how exactly they were intended to look, and second, because they'll still be altered. The correct way to replace them would be to take screenshots from the games themselves.

| :::::My edits are closer to look like how the image is supposed to look. It does not take a genius or a perfectionist to know when black levels are incorrect. It's not "hard" to know in these cases such as Vanitas's images. It's not some vague wild assumption, I've played the games and know the brightness of the scenes. And while my alteration (I usually go to Photoshop and just click Auto-Contrast) may not be 100 percent correct to the original, it is close enough to the point it should not be an issue. For example, if an image is the number 100, then the unaltered version is like a 50 while mine is like a 90 or 95.

| ::You heavily implied my edit was out of spite and/or laziness in your third comment in this section. It implied I knew what you did, when I didn't, and seemed to be accusing me of hypocrisy. I'm not annoyed at you because over a policy, I'm annoyed at you for trying to justify easily fixable laziness by using technicalities in policies with "well, the rules say I don't HAVE to do this so I'm technically following the policies so you don't the right to complain at me"-style arguments. You claim I'm ignorant, when to me, it seems like you're ignorant of wiki etiquette. And you don't have to keep mentioning you were banned in the past. If you're trying to sound sympathetic to me, it's not working. I'd rather see better wiki etiquette from you and more opportunities when you ''go the extra mile'' to be more respectful of other's edits and concerns, even if it isn't necessary according to policies. It shouldn't be surprising to you that if someone tries to fix something in an article, and you revert ''all'' their edits (even easily fixable positive edits), they'd feel frustrated at your actions.

| |
| :::"and seemed to be accusing me of hypocrisy" -- yes, it is. Whether or not you clicked the undo button, you groused at (and are continuing to grouse at) another editor for something you had messed up in the first place. That's not the same as accusing your original edit of malice.
| |
| :::"it seems like you're ignorant of wiki etiquette" -- I'm claiming you're ignorant of the realities of trying to keep the wiki in good condition, and are requesting special treatment for yourself. Every editor has the responsibility to make sure their own edits are correct. Reviewers have the responsibility to make sure that bad edits are not introduced. My edits have gotten wiped if they had egregious errors. So have most longterm editors. The standard is to check the edit history to figure out why the edits were undone, ask the undoing reviewer why they did so if you don't understand, and work the changes out on the talk page if you can't come to an agreement with them one-on-one. Not to accuse the reviewers of laziness or bad etiquette for not doing your job for you.
| |
| :::"If you're trying to sound sympathetic to me" -- god no. I'm trying to remind you that you've already been extended a lot of leeway by the mods, to my understanding because you are at least trying to improve the wiki, and that it's not exactly wise to keep going down this road. I'm trying to remind you that no amount of intent to improve the wiki, or even nominal seniority, will outweigh toxic behavior or ignorance of policy. Plenty of editors with much more contributions to the wiki have been permanently banned because they refused to detach their ego from their editing -- those like me who were readmitted, were only done so because we fully acknowledged our mistakes, and didn't try to give excuses for them.
| |
| :::"I'd rather see better wiki etiquette from you" -- this is, again, you choosing to lash out at other editors instead of taking the lesson and improving your own edits. This entire discussion didn't need to happen in the first place -- per the boldly noted edit notices baked into the edit interface, you're supposed to acknowledge that you made a misstep, and resubmit your work without the misstep. Not grouse at other editors for not taking extra time to do your work.
| |
| :::"they'd feel frustrated at your actions" -- it's not surprising. That doesn't make it right, which is the point here. Useful contributing to the wiki requires leaving your ego at the door, end of. Every productive, longtime editor has had to learn that lesson -- I am regularly corrected by TSH, for example, despite my being a much longer-term editor than he is. Same goes for all the long-lasting staff. And until you learn to stop tying your ego to your edits, past experience shows that things will continue to be rocky for you (disclaimer: I am no longer a mod due to stepping back to part-time status, so this is an observation, not a warning).{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:43, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

| :You seem to enjoy writing me long replies, but I don't feel like writing you a long one back because it's tiring. I'll just sum it up with this: Just because someone may have messed up first, it doesn't mean you can't go out of your way to show some respect in return. Give people the benefit of the doubt. It's often worth spending the extra minute of effort not to make someone feel offended. This has nothing to do with me requesting "special treatment" for myself, it's something you should do for all editors. A lot of people have complained to you on your talk page too, and it a lot of it seems to relate to what I'm telling you now. You can follow the policies ''and'' lack wiki etiquette, which is why a little effort and consideration can go a long way.

| Fantastic job getting us a cleaner version of the render! Will you be able to do that/are you willing to do that with the other renders released we have yet to upload? - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 13:56, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

|
| |
| :Yeah, although I have priorities. If a render is poorly scanned (bad angles can result in deformities) or too low res, or isn't in the infobox, I'll likely skip those. Saix/Demyx/Ansem are coming up. And maybe Terra-Xehanort and Vexen. I don't have the Ultimania so I have to rely on random pics floating around the web.

| :You're welcome. I'm done the main renders - basically everything in the infobox on this wiki (I'm redoing Namine and maybe Dark Riku again later). All that's left is basically a few enemies and battle variations of renders. Because of this, I'm going to be a bit more lazy and do renders at a slower pace.

| ::If you're taking requests, have you had any luck finding a complete cloaked Vanitas render, it's the last one needed (with hooded Xion) to remake a better Real Organization XIII collage. The one PoppetNoix posted cuts off the end of the Void Gear, and the battle render does not have the black coat. I also second JTD95's requests for the normal clothed Ansem, berserk Saix, and Terra-Xehanort with Guardian in addition to Dark Riku and Vanitas without their black coats (all are found in the boss battle section of the Ultimania) - [[User:Joveus|Joveus]] ([[User talk:Joveus|talk]]) 21:19, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

| :: Please don't lengthen the blade. The reason we're using these Ultimania scans instead of in-game models is because they're official. If you alter them by making the blade longer, or changing anything really, they're no longer official.

| |
| :I decided to use Poppet's as the base actually, and combine the full Keyblade from the other scan, so ignore the Imgur pic. And the reason for the blade lengthening was because the original scan seemed a bit warped (due to curvature of the book's spine when taking the photo). I'm pretty sure I found the right version now tho. I'll upload the full Vanitas render tonight or tomorrow. [[User:Soroxas|Soroxas]] ([[User talk:Soroxas|talk]]) 22:02, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

I, too, can play the game of semantics.

|
| |
| What bothers me is how you have the potential to be a truly great editor, but your attitude and communication skills are severely lacking. The attitude portion is why you are primarily being banned. Similar to the "real world," it does not mean anything if someone is of high caliber if their attitude/behavior stink. I don't care how right or opinionated you may be, you do not insult other editors or respond in such an immature fashion. If you cannot explain your side without belittling someone, then you need to rethink how you talk to people. It is pointless, counterproductive, a waste of time, and will not be tolerated.
| |
|
| |
| Several staff members and regular editors have tried explaining all of this to you before, though. Your personal talk page, various article talk pages, and the edit summaries all confirm this. We have been incredibly patient and have tried to help you understand.
| |
|
| |
| If you can return and make your points in a more civilized manner, we will be glad to have you. In the meantime, please take the three months off to cool down. If you have not changed your behavior by then, you stand to be permanently banned.}}
