Why are you reuploading perfectly valid images? You are obliterating the credit trail. The templates used in the armor pages are specifically designed to allow for arbitrary image file names. Please change them instead of reuploading. See, for instance, what I just did to Luxon Armor with regard to the ranger pictures. 85.31.186.86 08:34, 20 May 2006 (CDT)


 * because there is a certain template conformity i don't want to obstruct by changing file names. and when i do upload the pics, i include the original image to which i took them from to the original creditor. also there are a few errors, like ex: somebody will post 15k luxon instead of 1.5k in the wrong section and etc.


 * Don't upload duplicates just for some unnecessary uniformity. There is no point to it. What you consider citations are not actual citations because either the original or your reuploaded image will be deleted. Correct the file names when there is ambiguity or a simply wrong name, but in several cases you are re-uploading files that are perfectly unambiguous. 63.85.194.6 04:37, 21 May 2006 (CDT)

re:
well, if you could help me figure out how to rename an image without tampering with somebody's template, or tampering with somebody's image upload credit, i'd appreciate it. i think only admins can do that.
 * go ahead and upload with the correct name, the original uploader should have chosen a better name. (Page name).jpg where possible =) Skuld  09:44, 22 May 2006 (CDT)
