Vague

Hi there, Supuhstar. The page you created was deleted because there wasn't enough content for the article yet. However, what you typed up was moved here. I see you created the page again — it will be deleted again soon (for the same reason), but if you want to discuss the creation of the page, the above link is a good place to do so.

Your signature

Hello there, Supuhstar. I am directing you to our signature policy page regarding your use of an animated gif/gif. On our policy it states that "images that are distracting are not allowed. Likewise, animated images are strongly discouraged." I suggest that you change yours accordingly. Thank you, — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 13:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. However, I do not see how my —Supuhstar* could be distracting. I read the rules well before making it, it spins relatively slowly, I have not had a complaint given to me by any other sysops or admins, and how can a spinning plaque be any more attention-getting than Trey56's signature with his flashing gateanim.gif picture. If it is about the glitch that occurs when minimizing the picture where it is outlined in black at the repeat point, I am currently working on a way to solve that problem, but have thus far been able to come up with any solutions. If you have any suggestions on how to fix this glitch without using a new type of anim, I will be more than happy to consider it.

Sincerely,

——Supuhstar*

As far as Trey's signature is concerned, his image used to pulse, but now it's static (or at least for me). I find your spinning logo severely distracting. You do not need to be get complaints from several sysops regarding your signature before you change it, as one (me) is enough. You are kindly asked to remove the animated image. If you want any ideas on what to put instead, I'd suggest a static version of the logo. Also, let's keep all conversations one the same talk page. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 22:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I will change my logo to make it much less distracting ASAP. Thank you. (P.S. It still pulsates for me.) —Supuhstar*

Hey there — I see that my name came up, so I thought I'd make a comment. E.L. Cool's absolutely right — animated images in signatures are strongly discouraged. After finding out about this a while back I've had a few conversations with other users and administrators (see a couple of them here and here) and what I've found out is that it only becomes a problem if people find it distracting, and the people that I've asked haven't found mine distracting. But all it will take is one complaint, and I'll immediately remove that image.

As for yours, I find your current image much less distracting (thanks for changing it). As a side note, you might have better luck removing that "pulse" glitch if you shrink the frames manually and then animate them as a gif. If you still get a single frame with a black border, then you can edit that one alone before you compile it. Anyway, see ya around! Trey56 02:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I see you got rid of the pulse glitch — awesome. In addition to your sig image, you've got four other personal images: Image:Supuhstar(spinning).gif, Image:Supuhstar.gif, Image:Computer over.PNG, and Image:RVL SuperMario illu01--screenshot large-402x402.JPG. To stay within the personal image guidelines of two plus a sig image, I should delete two of these — which ones should I get rid of? Thanks, Trey56 03:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I have decided that you may delete the following images:

• File:RVL SuperMario illu01--screenshot large-402x402.JPG
• File:Supuhstar.gif

Please be aware that I haden't noticed I'd uploaded so many images. I will try not to do this again.—Supuhstar*

subpages

Hey, try not to create User talk subpages on other people's userspaces (I bring this up due to the recent creation of User talk:E.L. Cool/babel). Happy Wiki-ing! Bluebry 22:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Will do. (I thought it was his main page)

Personal Images

Hey there, Supuhstar. According to HRWiki:Personal images, each user can only have two personal images plus one small personal image for a signature. You currently have these six personal images:

• Image:Butt's_Twelve_By_Pies.jpg
• Image:Computer_over.PNG
• Image:RVL_SuperMario_illu01--screenshot_large-402x402.JPG
• Image:Supuhstar(spinning).gif
• Image:Supuhstar(SupuhSmall).gif
• Image:Supuhstar.gif

Please tag three of them with {{personal-image-abandoned|Supuhstar}} or {{delete|no longer in use}}. Thanks, Loafing 10:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Trey56 and I have alredy got this covered. Thanks, though.

I'm afraid you don't quite have this "covered". You still need to mark another image {{personal-image-abandoned}} or {{delete}}. — Lapper (talk) 15:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Delete the one I marked out. —Supuhstar*

By the way, how would I go about posting a picture like this one http://tkfiles.storage.msn.com/x1p6tb9aEP1qM0Q8phqSFqvm1UVdeg5Yao8Hb-kGH8HFCVJHZJSFQCzDq9BTerrTSKV71cXFYbO0XbSuGT3wvKOajG1DV9RFmoUWiYjH9WNCzE without making it a personal image? —Supuhstar*
