:1) I can change the names of most of the original files, but will have to read up on how to do it. So I can better know what you're looking for as far as style compliance is concerned, maybe it's better if you do most (I don't think I have that many) so I know what's expected. As with most style guidelines, there should be exceptions, as I make the case for in point two. | :1) I can change the names of most of the original files, but will have to read up on how to do it.

(Totally subjective opinion: I hate Wyll's horns). So, in this instance, if I put up a picture that's cropped or otherwise altered in any way, it may give the reader the impression I've falsified, doctored or otherwise altered the image. Showing the both the whole screenshot and the file naming nomenclature from the screenshot directly from the game adds reassurance to the likelihood I have not altered the image. For example, with this image in particular, the following is clear or strongly implied: | ||
:* Minthara is in the picture, proving the party has already progressed to Act Two | :* Minthara is in the picture, proving the party has already progressed to Act Two | ||
:* The yellow Icons on the map, in the upper right hand corner of the picture, show Moonrise Towers guards are still present, proving Mizora would not have normally been at camp yet (and no longer is now, since the party has progressed to Act Two) | :* The yellow Icons on the map, in the upper right hand corner of the picture, show Moonrise Towers guards are still present, proving Mizora would not have normally been at camp yet (and no longer is now, since the party has progressed to Act Two) | ||
:* On the left, character icons showing active party members (and applied buffs) lend weight to my assertion no unusual mods have been applied to obtain these results | :* On the left, character icons showing active party members (and applied buffs) lend weight to my assertion no unusual mods have been applied to obtain these results | ||
: In retrospect, after having read your concerns and my reply here, all of the above could have been included in the original description of the picture as it was uploaded. While it seemed unnecessary at the time, I now think this kind of thing should be a "best practice" for future uploads where a picture may be misunderstood and/or otherwise lack clarity. | |||
: You may have already noticed most of my other pictures are cropped or lack dialogue on the screen which, as you say, may detract from the purpose of the picture, which should be to add material value to the page in question and the wiki as a whole. | : You may have already noticed most of my other pictures are cropped or lack dialogue on the screen which, as you say, may detract from the purpose of the picture, which should be to add material value to the page in question and the wiki as a whole. | ||
:3) Minthara is wearing {{SmRarityItem|Enraging Heart Garb}}, with the very rare {{SmRarityItem|Gorgeous Maroon Dye}}, both of which are available in the unmodified version of the game. I probably | :3) Minthara is wearing {{SmRarityItem|Enraging Heart Garb}}, with the very rare {{SmRarityItem|Gorgeous Maroon Dye}}, both of which are available in the unmodified version of the game. Looking back, I probably should've mentioned the specifics of the gear and dye somewhere in the original picture content from being uploaded, but (again) didn't think it necessary at the time. | ||
:4) It's my intention to be a thoughtful, conscientious contributor that makes a significant difference the wiki. While I'm new here, I've been the admin for the Neverwinter Nights 2 wiki for about 5 years now. In my opinion, this site looks considerably better, and I find it more enjoyable to make edits on a site where the game is "active" and getting frequent and material updates from the devs. If there's ever a question or concern or some way I can improve, please let me know, as you've done here. | :4) It's my intention to be a thoughtful, conscientious contributor that makes a significant difference the wiki.
