== Marked for deletion ==

Hi, I created image "File:Meetthemedicbuttonpl.png" and you marked this file for deletion. I have not seen reason why it should be deleted so I'm asking you why it should be deleted? This image is for article [[Meet the Team/pl]] (english article [[Meet the Team|here]]) which I'm going to translate. If you think that this image is unnecessary ok, my mistake, but before I started to create Polish image I saw "File:Meetthemedicbutton.png" "File:Meetthepyrobutton.png" "File:Meetthemedicbuttonrus.png" and "File:Meetthepyrobuttonrus.png" images so I decided to create Polish image. Maybe these files should be marked for deletion too? Could you check them and decide what do to? Oh, I almost forgot. I also created few more images from "Category:Meet the team images/pl" and I hope that these images don't need to be marked for deletion. -- [[User:Szumin|Szumin]] ([[User_talk:Szumin|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Szumin|contrib]]) 17:46, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

==My mistake==

Sorry about the random friend request from someone you don't know. I'm just kinda new, and got confused between this site and the unofficial TF2 Wiki, and had a question. Didn't mean to come off as a creeper, I was just confused between the two sites. I know now. [[User:Xenak|Xenak]] 21:56, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

== Brown Spy Taunt Image Reverts ==

Why did you revert all of the new spy images for the taunts? The images need to be replaced because the other image colors are incorrect. Benjamuffin painted over BLU spy to make him RED, so those images are not an accurate in-game representation of the taunts. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 16:10, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

== Birds ==
In regards to the Birds page.  Let's not start an edit war.  Saying the birds will explode if "interacted with in any fashion" is too vague.  It should stay as "shot, hit with a melee weapon, or touched by a player". [[User:Grug|Grug]] 01:47, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

== Why are you uploading unused paint textures? ==

Unless the policy for this has changed (or someone gave you an O.K. on this), unused paint textures have no place on the wiki unless the hat is made paintable through an update. [[User:FlotsamX|FlotsamX]] 00:14, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

... your images are lower resolution, have weird edges, weird angle and the lighting looks the same (mine aren't fullbright anyway.)

== Painted Variants ==

Why'd you undo my ordering for the team colors? I did the same with the other colors a long time ago. Some of the colors look so similar on some hats that they need to be put right next to each other to tell which is which. Alphabetical isn't a useful ordering. --[[User:Archdeco|Archdeco]] 18:17, 29 June 2011 (PDT)
:They're all shades of BLU and RED (obviously except the Orange), and alphabetical makes sense for these. It also messed up my uploading big time.

== Complaint ==

Good day Smashman, Sire Im writing to ask you to change your judgment on the little files I sent up on wiki couple hours ago and these were single digits rendered in fonts of tf2 and tf2build that you have marked for deletion. I would like to convince you into reconsidering your decision by presenting arguments to defend my stand of letting these files be.

The purpose these images have been uploaded is an experimental Template:Ammo tool I've written earlier today, whose sole target is to improve the lookings of the way the number of ammo loaded and carried is presented in the weapon tables (please take a look at http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Scout/pl#Podstawowa to see how it looks), so that it resembles the way those numbers are displayed on the HUD.

In the short file report note you've advised "using font". As far as I've learned there is a way to render a text in tf2build font using one of the templates, alas there yet is no possibility to format text in tf2 font, so the desired effect couldn't be achieved this way. I have tried the Template:TF2B and was disappoitned by the quality of the output font, mainly due to lack of antialiasing
and difficulty in setting the size of font to fit the ratios I've found perfectly matching the ones present on the ingame HUD and I must say I've put quite a bit of pixelart effort into preparing these single digits to look flawlessly when output by my simple tool, being at proper height, with right intervals.

Therefore to my greatest surprise I've found my little, small in weight, and undisturbing images flagged to deletion in merely half an hour after they had been uploaded.

I'm incenced by the way I've been treated by a moderator of this wiki, a person who ought to be peculiarilly willing to help improve the database; instead I've been encountered with a bossy attitude, one I'd least expect and one that weakens urge to do anything new, be creative for the benefit of the community.

I believe you can now better understand my standpoint and are willing to cancel your decision of deleting files Loaded_(1 through 9 and 0).png and Carried_(again '1' through '9', plus '0' and 'inf').png. [[User:Markfrompoland|Markfrompoland]] 10:46, 1 August 2011 (PDT)

== Re: Reverting Images ==

Yo - wasn't so much that I didn't read it, for some reason the images got mixed up. The guy who originally changed it from open to closed mouth (old to new), somehow showed the image as open (old). I reverted it back to the first update since yesterday, and suddenly when the page refreshed, I was the one who reverted it back to old, while the guy who I reverted it from, had reverted it to new.

It's all very (un)clear, actually! Sorry though. :> --[[User:Mave|Mave]] 15:24, 4 August 2011 (PDT)
:No, no, I do understand, and I did click the red link. THAT'S what confused me. The small icons were mixed up, old was new, new was old. [[User:Mave|Mave]] 16:00, 4 August 2011 (PDT)
