Provided their story follows the same standards and policies that are applied to stories involving heterosexual couples, there is nothing wrong with a user having gay or lesbian pairings in their fanon, and if I might add, reading a story involving such pairings is a nice change from what we usually see.
No change is needed, that image is perfectly fine. Btw, ever thought of the possibility that some artist may actually deliberately add in some "color noise" to prevent their image of coming across completely . . . what's the word, uniform? It are disruptions in the coloring that can give off subtle distinctions that can give a certain amount of depth to an image.
No problem. Btw, may I please advice you to seek an editor for your story? It has a lot of spelling and basic grammar issues that any edit could take care of. For example, there is a difference between "its" and "it's", it's not "dont", but "don't", "what's" instead of "whats", etc etc. This are spelling and grammar mistakes that can really dissuade anyone from reading your fanon. I suggest requesting an editor here.
no problem what so ever, i appreciate the honesty. its just i often have to write my stuff in my spare time and often miss out such simple grammar mistakes. Thanks again, also if you dont mind me asking what did you think of the story itself?
Another thing, "I" is also always capitalized. Grammar and spelling are just as important as an actual good plot. I haven't really read your story, I just scanned over to get some of the spelling and grammar mistakes.
Done Though in the future you can just go ahead and upload the other image and then just tag the old one for deletion with the {{delete}} template. I check the speedy deletion category regularly, so I'd take care of it then.
for licensing that image for me. I would have, but I hadn't finished the page yet. Also, cause I suck with image editing, would you fix up this image for me as is usually done with the game images I upload? And same for this image, which was apparently overlooked when the whiting out began. Thanks again!
Question though: are comics like Sokka the Avatar considered canon? Or otherwise worded: should the information of that comic be added to pages like the Rough Rhinos etc? We seem to be threating them as canon, but don't really incorporate them on a lot of pages . . . and since you're the comic expert, here I am with my question :-p
And since I am the "comic expert", I am here with your answer. xD
As confirmed here (coincidentally a webpage that concerns the same comic I just created an article for), Mike and Bryan approved of the scripts of every comic before it was published ("Assuming Avatar creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino are happy with the script, the Nick Mag editors go through it with a fine-tooth comb to make sure everything will translate well as a comic."). I think this warrants for them to be considered canon, especially because in the interview with Bryke on AvatarSpirit.net, Bryke said that because Mike worked on Escape from the Spirit World with the Nickelodeon game crew, it was canon. In the same way, Mike and Bryan participated in a certain way on every comic, so it makes sense that they would be canon as well.
Thanks :-) Then it would definitely be beneficial to have a page for each comic, cause when that's done, we can more easily incorporate the information on relevant articles and reference more easily.
I thought of how I can optimize pictures. I just played with photoshop for some time and figured what I should do. Though I need your opinion if I'm in the right direction or not.
You are misguided on what "optimizing" means. Optimizing is reducing the image size without altering the image itself. What you did there is enhancing the coloring and lightning, which is something else.
I have already told you that, it's done by a program that I downloaded via google, and then you got all over me because you couldn't find it there.
Sure, they're good enough, but be aware that there are already images of the library books on the wiki, and as such, it can be that the image will still be deleted due to it being unneeded as the information captured by that image is already sufficiently captured by this image for example.
Lady Lostris, I know you are the admin.. But, why did you keep erasing my pictures? I made it by myself.. And I already put 'fanon-self' because I put it on my own fanon. I didn't feel comfortable every time if this happens. It annoys me and the shipping one.. I made it from 10 o' clock in the morning until the night (WIB)... And you just delete the picture with the reason of unnecessary to put, etc... How if someone delete your picture that you make start from 10 o' clock until the night.. I don't understand.. I know I annoys you that time because I don't know what is a wiki and what is an admin and what should a user do. But you cannot treat me like a garbage because I feel that I was treated like a garbage.. People have different thoughts and personality.. And this is my personality.. And the one that I annoys you is the personality I use to covers this personality.. I have feelings too. I joined this wiki to share my creation and my target to join this wikiIS NOT to have my pictures deleted. If you don't like me, just say it.. Don't do things like this.. How would you feel if I become the admin and you become the person which have the same position like me.. Won't you feel sad? I experience more things than you do.. But you have more experiences than me in this wiki... I don't want this to happen like what happen with AcerEvan. Until it has 40 replies.. Don't you think it's crazy? Won't you get annoyed? I mean, every time I logged in to this wiki, I don't feel comfortable if there is a message.. Whether positive or negative..
My thoughts of why you delete my hardwork pictures:
You are annoyed by me.
You don't feel comfortable with my creations.
I always forgot to put the categories.
You hate it when I support the Foo Foo Cuddlypoops mother vote.
I made people confused
If, I become the admin... I won't do what you do... If you keep doing like this, what will happen to your future? I may be younger or older than you.. But that doesn't matter.. Because of what you do is what I hate.. I was patient when you do something like this until now. I was so angry at you.. I was trying to be polite but what did you do? The founder of this wiki (HowAbout1) wants this wiki to be joyful... And, what if someone didn't like you? I have to admit it.. Your words are too... rough.. (For Me)... I know you're a helpful ones but.. won't you fix yourself? I joined this wiki because I want to show my abilities... I was not born normal.. But I was gifted... Because of that, I wanted to proof it to the world. Starting from school and this wiki.. I know you're helping me but you annoys me.. If I become the admin, I will restore my pictures permanently.
I will wait your reply.. Up to you if you want to send it or no. Send it to my message wall..
If your reply annoys me, I won't answer.. But if you need more explanation, go say it.. I appreciate it.. But believe me, you will feel sorry for what you did..

As far as I know, I deleted two of your images. I deleted your image because it was put up on an official community fanon page and, no offense to your drawing skills, it was below standard to be on there.
The other image I deleted from you was where you put together a collection of screenshots and then pasted text over them, which is a copyright infringement, and as such, it has been deleted. You can read up on the image policy here.

If they had reason, like I did, then I would understand. I would be annoyed, but I would see and accept the justified reasoning behind that person's actions.

With all due respect, but what on earth are you talking about? I hardly even know, so how could I immediately "not like you" and "treat you like garbage"? So please, don't overdramatize things. I get that you are annoyed that your image got deleted, but there is absolutely no need to take that personal, as it wasn't.

No, I would understand the reasoning behind people's actions and I would know not to take every action as a personal attack . . .

Are you now implying that I don't have feelings? What is that even supposed to mean? That's just rude.

I have once again no idea what you are talking about, sorry.

My reply to your fears:
Wrong and unfounded.
I don't care about your creations (sorry), they are for your fanons, so as such, you do with them as you please as long as they don't breach our image policy. In the case of your shipping image, it became a community affair, and as such, I did care, and again, no offense, but your image was qualitatively speaking not good enough to be featured like that. It also wasn't needed as there is already a general shipping image.
Irrelevant, as that is no ground for deletion.
Wrong, I don't care about that. Really, how infantile and vindictive do you think I am? If I would hold a grudge against everyone who ever opposed me or with whom I had words, I would be very lonely on this wiki.
That is true, but that has nothing to do with your image, so that's not why it was deleted.

So you would become an administrator that doesn't enforce policy? What will you do then, cause that's basically the task an administrator agrees to take care of . . .
AvatarMJC wrote:

My future is actually completely independent of my actions on the wiki. And since I am currently on course to earn my masters degree in law, I think my future will look very good. Especially since lawyers are supposed to uphold the rules -which is exactly what I did.

You hate to be correct and play according to the rules? So you're a law-breaker? Living on the wild side of life I see ;-)
AvatarMJC wrote:

I am sorry that I angered you, but I was only enforcing policy. I will not apologize for doing that. If you would've read the rules, none of this would've happened and you would've apparently saved yourself a lot of anger.
AvatarMJC wrote:
And, what if someone didn't like you?
They there are three things I can do then: 1. explode in a fit of rage and insult the crap out of that person; 2. completely break down and go cry in a corner; or 3. think "oh look, another disgruntled person on the internet . . . *ignore*."
I'll let you know that I am a supporter of the third option.

So I am helpful, but I need to fix myself? Hmm, to what then exactly? An unhelpful person? And can I just say that it is rather rude to tell someone to fix themselves?

You can prove it all you want, as long as it is within policy boundaries and it is relevant to the community's pages.

Sounds like a plan, I wish you good luck with that.

I guess I should not be keeping an eye on this thread then . . . Please, don't take it so personally. And can I also suggest not to make "threats" like that, cause they don't really allow for decent conversation.
yeah.. I can take it alone by myself... can you draw better? show it.. dont just speak... i should go to bed... excuse me.. i need to rest because of this...
Sigh. What did I say about taking things personal? There is no need to compare drawing abilities and I'd advice against pushing the issue to come to a comparison.
