::The images we need replaced more urgently than the rest are, for the most part, listed [[a:Category:Images from the official card database|here]]. We host images on a separate server than Bulbapedia (so that Bulbanews can utilize the same images). That place is named the Archives, and it has a separate set of rules and regulations before new users are able to do large editing projects, such as replace images. New users have to make a certain amount of edits and be a user over there for a certain amount of time before they can upload over older images. I have a bit of work that we need to do over there if we need to boost your edit count for you to be able to upload over images, if it comes to that. As for scans, we tend to do a resolution of 600dpi, jpg format (to conserve server space), and have the dimensions at about 600x840 or so. It's important that you get a straight scan of the whole card, borders and rounded corners in all. If you have any more questions, feel free to come over to [[User talk:Maverick Nate|my talk page]], and I'll do whatever I can to get you on your way!

:::Whats the stance on the images from the card database from the official pokemon site? I saw a couple of pictures take from the pokemon tcg online (so not entirely clean images), and since they now list the promo cards (XY-on) in this database, I think we can fill in a lot of the newer cards that miss pictures if the images in the database are up to quality.[[User:Donkey-er|Donkey-er]] ([[User talk:Donkey-er|talk]]) 11:35, 1 July 2014 (UTC) | :::Whats the stance on the images from the card database from the official pokemon site?

::::The database images are too small for what we want, and all the official images remove any Holofoil pattern the real cards have. Scans are ultimately what we want in the end, due to their more accurate representation and their larger portrayal of the artwork. Anything taken from the PTCGO is ultimately temporary and only uploaded for their use on Bulbanews. We typically have an image for every card the instant the card pages are created, it's more of a matter of quality now. If we're going to be replacing images, both me and the image servers appreciate doing the highest quality from the start! No reason to do a bunch of work just to have to do it again later.
