MEMO TO SELF: HAVE YOU STARTED FINISHING YOUR EDIT BEFORE CLICKING 'SAVE PAGE' YET?!

Introduction
Hey. I'm Hākinu, a Norwegian girl in the end of her teenage years. I'm a big fan of the Naruto manga and anime, but I mostly restrain from the anime's filler arks (due to trauma from the 84 filler episodes after Part I's storyline ended :|).

I'm worried some will find me a bit chilly when I send out all these warnings on their uploaded pictures being deleted and such, but remember that those warnings are templates, and not my words. I like to regard myself as a kind person, although I do like to keep my language serious when writing outside of written private conversations (Email, Facebook.. I don't use MSN). While speaking of it, if you feel the need to contact me, please use my talk pages. You can also send me an email at Hakinu@gmail.com. If you want to add me on Facebook, sure, just ask me.

My work
I mainly consentrate on improving and maintaining 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. That also included uploading new pictures to replace already existing images marked with an template, although this was kind of AlienGamer's job. 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 editers a lot of work you as uploader could have done much quicker. All you have to do is to add a Fair Use Rationale (see below) into the Summary-box while still uploading. 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
Example: Image:Hokuto.jpg

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 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''

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, look at the examples for others.''

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.

Further: 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
I forgot how I found these codes, but I can imagine I looked at other pictures' copyright status by pushing edit.

Revert of Re-uploads
The reason why Dantman (and others) 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. I myself asked Dantman for a reason at a point, which he answered with this: "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.

Not neccessary to replace Poor Filename images
Many of the pictures are marked with a warning showing that it should be re-uploaded with a new name (Poor File Name). According to Dantman @ Forum:MediaWiki 1.14 ToDo list, sysops can now rename pictures (yay!).

Thoughts on Naruto and it's -pedia

 * I declared war on this list, and was victorious on May 1st \o/


 * Hākinu be wondering why Gaara's face underneath his sand shield looks like a puppet when the shield peels off @ 2:30 in ep 127.


 * Heheheh. Mooooo.


 * Minato was just the cutest kid ever.


 * I don't understand what's so funny with writing things like "Michael kelly makes me horny" in articles.
 * Another thing I don't understand is that speculation on 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).


 * I just LOVE the look on Kazuma's face here xD NOMMY POTATOOO!!! >:3


 * Hākinu is unhappy with the graphic quality of the Three Tails arc. Tenzo was overall creepy, especially at times  . Another thing that the animaters went meh on must've been the perspective. Compare the height difference between Tenzo and Kakashi in the same episode (Shippūden ep. 108): 1:17 vs 1:22 vs 1:59. You can't even blame it on the perspective, since that would just have the opposite effect if used correctly.
 * But even with all these low-budget faulties, the filler gives Kabuto a major character development that the manga lacks of. I never imagined him this wicked when I read the manga.


 * The Naruto staff sure are masters of wasting episodes.


 * I wonder who told Naruto that it's a good idea to wash down his ap before leaving for two years. I doubt Jiraiya told him to.


 * I'm helplessly in love with randomness XD
