===Image Quality===
All images should be of the highest quality possible - users should avoid images which are pixelated, contain watermarks, or are under 300x300px. Image renders are preferable over non-rendered images when the image is of an object or character.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; font-size:smaller; text-align:center;"
