Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
What are you planning to use it for? That said, see How to Pick a Good Image. 350 is the max size.
Use an image editor (not MS Paint!!) to resize it before uploading.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
I'm planning to use these for a visual comparison for the "Animals not to Scale" trope on the Warpath page. Both T. rex and Albertosaurus have a real life size depiction image linked on that page, so I'm trying to upload images like this one to show their size depiction in-game, if that makes any sense.
We don't permit that. It's okay to link out to it, but not to store the images here.

Why not?

Because we aren't imgur.com. Images should be loaded to illustrate articles, not for general use. They have to comply with our sizing requirements.

Not general use, sure, but it seems like he's making a comparison for within the page itself. I would think we would prefer to host the images themselves to prevent the links from dying.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
We're not going to modify the image uploader to allow larger pics just for this one use.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Less "this one use" and more "it seems like a prudent policy to ensure we don't accidentally link a dead pic."
I didn't realize our uploader had such limits so that does make sense, though.
Also, Sleeping Beauty, I checked out that page... remember, Weblinks Are Not Examples. You need to add more than just link two pictures and call it an example.

Ok, does that mean that I need to describe the linked examples more?

In general you want to give any entry enough detail that nobody has to go somewhere else or be excessively familiar with the work or topic to see what you're talking about.
Does it look good enough right now or are there still some things that need to be fixed?
I've recently managed to get some footage of the game through screenshots taken from an iPad on HD videos, but when I try to upload it here, the image is far too small and blurry to be able to see anything, like this one:
Is there a way to fix this?
