There are a number of pages that desperately need your help. You can find these Incomplete pages here.

Screenshots

What program are you using to get screenshots? And please crop the black bars from your screenshots and re-upload. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:02, 7 February 2013 (EST)

Yes, your screenshots appear to be of inferior quality. If you're capturing from a streaming source like Netflix, I would recommend Fast Stone Image Viewer, which allows you to capture your computer screen and then crop off any excess information. Before uploading any more screenshots, please consider this or another better capturing program. --Ben41 (talk) 15:11, 7 February 2013 (EST)
I have downloaded Fast Stone but I am unable to capture screen shots from my DVD copy. Can you recommend a solution? I am still trying to figure this thing out. --Elzzupa1 (talk) 13:45, 7 February 2013 (PST)
If you have the DVD, you can use VLC. That has a screencap button, as well as a frame-by-frame button. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:07, 8 February 2013 (EST)
Please remember to tag your screenshots with [[Category: Screenshot]] and poster and cover art with [[Category: Poster and Cover Art]] . Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:04, 9 February 2013 (EST)
You should tag the image file itself with [[Category: Screenshot]] , like this (scroll to the botoom.) Please also review the rules on proper titles. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:48, 9 February 2013 (EST)
Thanks again, funky. I'm try to learn all the rules. Is there a way to edit those pictures, to include the Category, once they have been uploaded?

Replacing files

If you have a new version of an existing file, you can click on "Upload a new version of this file" rather than uploading under a new name. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:06, 8 February 2013 (EST)
