A few things to consider

First of all, thank you for filling in the Northern Ontario PR. It takes a lot of time to put them together and there's probably a handful that you added that other editors wouldn't be able to find nor know they exist.

Second, when uploading files, it would be nice to include categories. This helps keep things organized. For the PRs for instance, all they need is [[Category:Canadian Power Rankings]] and it can be added to the end of the upload summary. It's not something you'll get in trouble for for not doing and can always be done later, but it is easier to nip it in the bud.

Third, again about files, is to give them a self-explanatory name to reduce ambiguity. For example, "Final 2018.jpg" doesn't say much other than the year; it could be the finals for a tournament, an event called "Final", and several other things before someone thinks it is the final PR of 2018 for Sudbury specifically. Again, this is something that can be done afterwards, but it requires more effort than adding a category (rename file, delete the redirect, change name on articles) so we'd rather not have to deal with that to begin with.

Fourth, would you be surprised it is about files again? File:2017 Summer Sudbury.jpg and File:2017 Winter Sudbury.jpg appear to be cut off (on the sides and the bottom, respectively). If they aren't meant to be that way, could you get versions that aren't cropped? If so, you can use the "Upload a new version of this file" link on the respective pages and update them. --CanvasK (talk) 07:52, December 8, 2022 (EST)

1. Lol I'm not sure how to get in touch with you! I've finished most of the project (I think). I've done extensive digging into each cities that falls under Northern Ontario and added their PRs. It's cool to see a potentially forgotten history pieced together. Thank you for the kind words.

2. Can you show me an example of an image with the category attached? Not sure which part of the filename to add it to but I can do so retroactively when I know.

3. After your message I uploaded several more images, hopefully they were descriptive enough.

4. Unfortunately those images are the only versions of those graphics that exist.

1. Because it is a response to a post on this talk page, just click the "edit" button by the section title. If you wanted to get in touch about something else, just use my talk page which is linked in my signature. When replying it is recommended to add a colon (:) to the beginning of the line to indent it; add a colon for each reply: my first post is 0 colons, your reply is 1 colon, and my reply is now 2. Should also sign your posts with 4 tildes (~~~~) (on my keyboard it is in the upper-left but you can always copy-paste from the notice at the top of the screen).

2. Here's one of the Sudbury images I went ahead and added to. When uploading, you can add it after your comments such as:

Sault Smash 2022 Fall PR graphic, made by Jakeyjeans

[[Category:Canadian Power Rankings]]

3. In a perfect world every PR would have a naming scheme like that.

4. A little annoying but oh well. Good to know at least.
