Thanks for helping me with the Mothra Image, how can you make images smaller than how they originally are? Btw sorry for the accident of putting a category in. Titan of Water (talk) 22:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Well, in the case of the page there, you weren't even putting the image in the gallery.
Wrong:
<gallery widths="120" position="center" captionalign="center" spacing="small">
Kong_Skull_Island_Mothra_cave_painting.jpg|Mothra cave painting from ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]''
Monarch_mothra_green_file.jpeg

There's no need to have [[File: and |250px]] when putting an image in a gallery. Also make sure the </gallery> is after all of the images. Get it?

Yes I’m sorry it won’t happen again. Titan of Water (talk) 23:04, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
Nah, nothing to apologize for. You'll learn :D -- Les (main | talk) 23:09, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

A screenshot for the up coming second trailer for Godzilla King of The Monsters was posted on Twitter. I was able to upload the picture in the King of The Monsters Photo Gallery but was unable to put a new heading title trailer #2. How did you put the heading for trailer #1?

Please forgive me if I'm doing this incorrectly, this is the first time I've tried talking one-on-one with someone here and I can't figure it out.

In regards to Takeshi Kimura/Kaoru Mabuchi writing the draft that lead to Godzilla vs. Gigan (and creating Megalon), I don't question that one bit. I'm aware of the draft history there. The point I was trying to make is that he isn't credited for his work in any of the Japanese or various English versions of either of those films. I'm looking at the Japanese credits now: for "Gigan", there is only a screenplay credit to Shinichi Sekizawa. "Megalon" gives Sekizawa an "original story" credit and Jun Fukuda the screenplay credit.

So yes, Mabuchi did put in work that should have been credited in both films, especially for "Gigan", but he wasn't credited. That's why I included a "not credited" notation on his page and removed him from the credits on the pages for both films. It's something of a tricky area because while he does deserve some credit in retrospect, should the onscreen credits be ignored? In my opinion the answer to that question is "no", but I'm not going to make that decision for this community. I think it would be best to leave the film credits as they are and credit his contribution elsewhere on the pages for those films. Or, at the very least, credit him but make it clear that his work wasn't credited *on film. But again, that's just my opinion.

And regarding Kazue Shiba's work on "Son of Godzilla," she gets a screenplay credit in the Japanese version (below Sekizawa) that wasn't included in the international and all subsequent versions.

Anyway I just wanted to clarify my edits since the character count in the description box is so low.
