User:Hakinu

Introduction
Hey. I'm Hakinu (meaning 'Kitten', don't ask where it's from...), 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
If you haven't noticed, I mainly consentrate on improving the wiki's image arsenal. I don't upload many new pictures to illustrate further. Instead I have enough to do improving the already existing files. That also includes uploading new pictures to replace already existing images marked with an template. Also, I use the following information a lot in my work. Read on.

Fair use Rationale and Copyright info
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 here if you wonder why: image policy).

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 saying which 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 insert jutsu or whatever else you were uploading an illustration of 

From 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''

Summary
Example: Image:Hermit's_Art_Great_Ball_Rasengan.jpg

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

From Game
This template also includes the license, since it's more or less always the right license for games.

Summary
Examples:

Image:CNR2.jpg (Cover)

Image:Bando.jpg (Character art)

Image:RedChakraArm.jpg (Jutsu)

Image tags
can also be used to show what characters are in the picture, and making it easy to find pictures of a particular character. By tagging a character in a picture, the picture will be mentioned here, listing the characters you have put in: Property:Character in image.

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.

Poor File Name
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

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


 * @ May 1st, this list was finally emptied for images that are used but lacked of a fair use rationale. Now out to get some fresh air! \o/


 * Heheheh. Mooooo.
