I belong to NOBODY! You've been uploading a lot of images without properly tagging the source or the relevant copyrights. Please see our Image Policy on how to do this properly.

Your images need to be tagged better with proper categories, descriptions, and templates employed. Thanks. --notirishman (talk) 14:07, 24 August 2019 (EDT)

Thank you very much, I'm new and not so much expert. --Grievous Prime (talk) 08:12, 25 August 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I understand! Click the link that says 'Images' in the welcome message to know how to tag your images! --notirishman (talk) 12:58, 25 August 2019 (EDT)

Thanks. --Grievous Prime (talk) 07:27, 26 August 2019 (EDT)

The images you've uploaded have all been in png format, but you've given them a jpg extension. The site should be giving you warnings when you are doing this, which should be cluing you in that this is not the correct thing to do - you need to convert the images to jpg format before uploading them. --abates (talk) 02:32, 27 August 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I known, but, how?? Please, help me. --Grievous Prime (talk) 07:04, 28 August 2019 (EDT)

It depends what system you are using. If you are on Windows, it comes with a program called Paint which will let you load and save in a number of different formats. --abates (talk) 07:15, 28 August 2019 (EDT)

The real problem is that when I try to upload jpg images, the program doesn't allow me. --Grievous Prime (talk) 07:04, 28 August 2019 (EDT)

You're going to have to elaborate on that one. The wiki should definitely let you upload jpgs. --abates (talk) 16:26, 28 August 2019 (EDT)

OK, thank you for your time. --Grievous Prime (talk) 19:29, 28 August 2019 (EDT)

Hi, I have a question for you. Are you User:RoboWarriorPrime? --abates (talk) 07:58, 30 August 2019 (EDT)

No, I'm Grievous Prime, why do you ask? --Grievous Prime (talk) 08:30, 30 August 2019 (EDT)

"OMG, TO THE WIKI!" Not everything you just read or saw needs to be immediately added to the wiki. Information about upcoming toys or media may be rooted in rumors and leaks based on incomplete/outdated information; we don't cover leaks, and we’d rather be a little behind than inaccurate (see our relevant Policy Page for more info). A supposed toy defect may be an isolated incident. A claim of inaccuracy on an article may be a misunderstanding. Exercise your best judgment before making additions, and ask first on the article talk pages or our Discord if you’re not sure.

That information on WFC Hot Shot hasn't been officially announced by Hasbro or TakaraTomy yet. Per wiki policy, we don't post leaked information on upcoming products. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:28, 7 September 2019 (EDT)

In this case, you are right. Sorry, I didn't know it. --Grievous Prime (talk) 08:15, 8 September 2019 (EDT)

Please do not edit Archive pages, as you did with User talk:Cyberlink420/Archive1. When a talk has been archived it is considered to be closed. If you still have questions related to an archived discussion, you should start a new discussion on the relevant talk page. --Khajidha (talk) 12:03, 8 September 2019 (EDT)

I belong to NOBODY! You've been uploading a lot of images without properly tagging the source or the relevant copyrights. Please see our Image Policy on how to do this properly.

Please properly tag your images. Use others on the site as examples if you need to. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:31, 17 September 2019 (EDT)

Also please stop uploading PNG files. The upload page should be warning you not to do this already, and you definitely should not be uploading them with JPG extensions. --abates (talk) 21:26, 17 September 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I know you are right. But as I said before, I don't know what to do because when I try to upload jpg images, the program doesn't allow me. What can I do? --Grievous Prime (talk) 08:42, 18 September 2019 (EDT)

You can elect to not upload images. Nobody is making you do it. Saix (talk) 09:17, 18 September 2019 (EDT)

I did ask you to elaborate on what was happening that you couldn't upload JPG files. Unless you're able to tell me what sort of error you're getting when you try, I don't know what the issue is. --abates (talk) 19:04, 18 September 2019 (EDT)

Well, when I wrote a name, like Jazz's Alt Mode.jpg and then I try to upload the image, the site says: "File extension ".jpg" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (image/png)." Why? --Grievous Prime (talk) 13:17, 24 September 2019 (EDT)

Because you're trying to upload .png images. Just adding ".jpg" to the end of the filename when you upload it doesn't turn it into a JPG. You need to save the file as a JPG before you upload it. (Also, that image of Ratchet was NOT a fan-illustration.) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:35, 24 September 2019 (EDT)

OK, got it. Thank you. --Grievous Prime (talk) 14:38, 24 September 2019 (EDT)

I'm confused by the fact you're saying you "got it" here, but you are still uploading png files named as jpgs when you were asked not to do it. Please use image software to convert png files to jpg files before you upload them. --abates (talk) 18:42, 29 December 2019 (EST)

I've tried my best about the jpg/PNG problem with a new image of Megatron clone. I hope this time is okay. If not, tell me. Thank you. --Grievous Prime (talk) 06:19, 07 April 2020 (EDT)

That's still a png file with a jpg name. if you look at the detail page at File:Megatron_clone.jpg, it says "MIME type: image/png" right under the picture. --abates (talk) 06:34, 7 April 2020 (EDT)

Ok sorry. Until I’ve solved the problem, I won't upload any new image. Thank you. --Grievous Prime (talk) 06:42, 07 April 2020 (EDT)

I'm not sure if this has been resolved yet or not, but Microsoft Paint, while not being the greatest program for editing images, usually comes pre-installed on most Windows computers. if you open an image in Paint and then go file - save as - it gives you options to save the image in different formats. Select the .jpg format and save it. Sometimes it may show a pop-up saying that if you save it that all transparency will be lost - don't worry about that just save it anyway. Once you've done that, come back to the wiki and use the "upload a new version of this image" to add it in. Hope this helps. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 21:10, 20 November 2020 (EST)

If you look at the recent images I've upload (like the Kingdom figures) you can observe that I've already learned how to do it. Anyway, thank you for telling me. --Grievous Prime (talk) 03:51, 21 November 2020 (EDT)

Oh, my bad, I see that now. Also you may want to go back and replace the older images that are still PNG files just for consistency. :) Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 04:00, 21 November 2020 (EST)

As you command, Lord FanoTRON :D --Grievous Prime (talk) 05:30, 21 November 2020 (EDT)

I think I've fixed them all. If I've missed something, then you can tell it me whenever you want. Thank you. --Grievous Prime (talk) 08:00, 23 November 2020 (EDT)

Those "BB character model" pics for the Bumblebee film

How were the character models you uploaded necessary? -- Lonegamer78 (talk) 04:37, 8 December 2019 (EST)

Sorry, I'm late; what do you mean anyway? --Grievous Prime (talk) 18:15, 17 December 2019 (EDT)

The character models from Bumblebee, like "BB-Wheeljack-model.jpg". Could you add a bit more context? Usually, when we upload pictures, there's an accompanying explanation when it's included in a page to help better illustrate the point. Take movie Wheeljack for example: there's both an image of his face to highlight his inspiration of Doc Brown from Back to the Future, and a picture of his back to add context of his overall design of equipment. The character models that you uploaded don't seem to add anything to their respective pages. -- Lonegamer78 (talk) 04:47, 18 December 2019 (EST)

Oh, ok. I thought that the simple notes like: "Wheeljack's Cybertronian design in Bumblebee is heavily inspired by his Generation 1 namesake" were enough but if you want, I'll add some extra information. --Grievous Prime (talk) 17:29, 19 December 2019 (EDT)

At this point notes like "Character X (Franchise Z)'s design is heavily inspired by Character X (Franchise A)" are basically pointless. --Khajidha (talk) 08:17, 23 November 2020 (EST)

Sorry, I saw the message just now. So, do you want to remove the notes or the images? I did not understand. --Grievous Prime (talk) 17:48, 24 November 2020 (EDT)

Casting

PLEASE don't add actors to TFOne based on what you see on IMDB. It's a site that literally anyone can submit information to, like a wiki, and as such it can't be trusted to have accurate information, ESPECIALLY not before release. If you want to add any other actors, you'll need to provide a better source. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:22, 21 August 2024 (EDT)

You're right. I apologize for adding voice actors without a better source. I admit I got a little "too excited" for the new characters I didn't reflect on it too much. With that said, on the other hand, the characters who appeared in the clip uploaded by Paramount Brasil shouldn't be removed from the movie page as they are indeed officially confirmed at this point. -- Grievous Prime (talk) 04:46, 21 August 2024 (EDT)

Well the clip may or may not be in the final cut so who knows? That said, I doubt paramount would be such trolls to post a clip like that right...?Poliwag06 (talk) 05:05, 21 August 2024 (EDT)
