	Hello Edcec35. Thanks for uploading a screenshot of Homeschool Winner. When uploading images in the future please use a more descriptive filename. "[[:File:image 2023-09-09 211958047.png\|image 2023-09-09 211958047.png]]" is a long string of numbers that gives no indication of what the image is, making it confusing to reference and unclear when inserting it into pages. By comparison, filenames like "[[:File:roomisode 2 title screen.png\|roomisode 2 title screen.png]]" or "[[:File:Puppet Perducci.jpg\|Puppet Perducci.jpg]]" clearly describe the contents of the photo. In the case of your image, something along the lines of "homeschool winner silhouette" or "roomisode 2 homeschool winner" would've been a clearer and more descriptive filename. Try to keep this in mind next time you add an image to the wiki. Thanks! --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 19:18, 10 September 2023 (UTC)		Hello Edcec35.

		+	:Hi Edcec35. I need to reiterate what Bleu Ninja said. "Screenshot 2023-10-30 1.54.37 PM.png" is not an acceptable filename. I have deleted those files. If you would like to reupload using proper descriptive names (for example, "KOT as Immortan Joe.png"), please feel free. Thanks — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 18:15, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

	Hello Edcec35, I see that you've made several consecutive edits to your user page. I want to point out the "Show Preview" button {{--}} it's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of small or experimental edits, for example when you are adding or customizing userboxes and trying to get formatting right. Using the "Show Preview" button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges\|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded. Thanks! --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 21:00, 8 June 2023 (UTC)		Hello Edcec35, I see that you've made several consecutive edits to your user page.
