-'''Avoid uploading JPG images''', as they have lost quality that cannot be recovered. Do '''not''' upload GIF images unless uploading an animated image, as they have limited color quality.
+'''Please read how to upload images [[Help:Contents#Using Images|here]], as well as [[The Blockheads Wiki:Image guidelines|our image guidelines]].'''
-'''Please categorize all uploaded images, as well as checking for duplicate or similar images. Give uploaded images a descriptive filename, and follow existing standards, if applicable. All images should have a lowercase extension.''' More information can be found [[Help:Contents#Using Images|here]].
+'''Upload checklist:'''
+*'''Have you given your file an accurate, descriptive name?''' Make sure that it is in title case and has a lowercase file extension.
+*'''Does this file, or a similar file, already exist?''' Duplicate files will be deleted.
+*'''Is this file a JPG image?''' JPG images, due to the way they work, have lost quality. Upload PNG files instead, but don't just convert a JPG to a PNG just for the file type.
+*'''Is this file a GIF image?''' GIF images generally can only store 256 colors per frame, and are only suitable for animated images. Upload PNG files instead, but don't just convert a GIF to a PNG just for the file type.
+*'''Did you categorize your file?''' A category can be added to the image by typing <code>[[Category:<category name>]]</code> at the bottom of the summary.
