Introduction
Hey. I'm Hākinu, a Norwegian girl in the beginning of my twenties. I'm a big fan of the Naruto manga and anime, and try to keep up to date with it, besides being a full-time university student. I must say I'm a bit worried some can find me chilly when I notify them about "business" matters. The thing is that I'm just trying to keep serious where it's needed. If you need me for anything, just contact me on my talk pages. You can also send me an email at Hakinu@gmail.com.

My work
'''This is mainly outdated information, as the wikia has progressed since the times when I did my main work. Because I spent a TON of time producing this information, I'd still like to keep it around to show my grandkids and shit. I don't know. It just feels like waste to just remove it. I'll find better things to fill it with eventually. Busy busy student me has better things to do with my time at the moment.'''

As an addition to regular article maintainment, I mainly focus on the wiki's image arsenal. I don't upload many new pictures to illustrate further. Instead I've had enough to do improving the already existing files. When I edit images, I use the following information a lot.

Fair use Rationale and info on Copyright (license)
It doesn't seem I can say this enough times: include fair use rationale and copyright information with the images you upload! Take an example among the images in the main character's articles (they're mostly most accurate on style). Please, it's not helping a lot if you upload an image that instantly has to be marked with warnings of deletion (look at the image policy if you wonder why).

Dantman made a template ( ImageName.ext ) allowing us to give warnings pretty easily. Yet these warnings seems to be ignored by many. This leaves us editors with a lot of additional work you, as uploader, could have done with much bigger ease. All you have to do is to add a Fair Use Rationale (see below) into the Summary-box while you're still in the uploading page. Also the license can be added by clicking the thingy below the Summary box (still in the uploading page) and select a relevant copyright by the bottom of the list.

''' Mark the text inside the box with the headline which headline says the media you got the image from and push ctrl+c to copy. Go to your picture and push 'edit this page', paste the template in with ctrl+v and fill it in.'''

Summary
Examples:

Image:Cherry_Blossom_Shockwave.jpg (Part II, Shippūden)

Of course, if it's not a character it's illustrating, don't say it's an illustration of the character, but of jutsu or whatever else you were uploading an illustration of 

Images from the manga
''This template also includes the license, since it's more or less always the right license for manga. Note that this is not the case when the purpose of the image being uploaded is illustrating a character. See: Copyright information''

Licensing:
Of course, if it's not a character it's illustrating, don't say it's an illustration of the character, but of insert jutsu or whatever else you were uploading an illustration of 

Images from Naruto games
''This template also includes the license, since it's more or less always the right license for games. This is not the case if it's illustrating a cover, which in case it's that is most relevant. Also note that this template of mine changes a bit depending on what the image illustrates. This is for techniques, see below''

Image tags
'''Do not use in this template. The template won't work then. Plus, it links automatically.'''

This template can be used to show which characters the image contains. This makes it easier to find out if the character or situation you want to illustrate already has an image of it uploaded. This can be checked by going to the Property:Character in image gallery. Jutsu can be tagged the same way, with the template.

More: See this thread, which discusses whether these tags should be replaced with one single tag .

Copyright information (license)
Also, if you are also missing copyright information, add the one that fit the image under the Fair Use Rationale:

==Licensing==

==Licensing==

==Licensing==

If you know any licenses that aren't listed, please add them to my list ^_^

Revert of Re-uploads
Warning template (paste on talk page): ImageName.ext

The reason why people revert your re-upload of a new image you upload, is almost always because of the Image policy. In this policy you will find that the only time you are going to use the re-upload function is if you have the same image with higher quality/resolution.

Dantman explains why with the following: "Unless it's the exact same image of better quality, never upload an image over another one, I unconditionally revert overwrites under that guide. The reason is explained there (in the image policy), it basically boils down to history tracking."

If you for some reason wish to replace an image with another, use the Upload function, which you find as the first of the links under the search field on the left side of the screen.

Thoughts on Naruto and its -pedia

 * I don't understand the speculations about which game, manga and/or anime Naruto is a rip-off from. Especially when it comes to implying that Sasuke is based on this and that character because of the hair (colour).


 * Shikamaru & Temari - I shipz it.
