Hey Yankees2004!

Thanks for jumping in and helping with the Cosplay and Costume Carnival pages. As you are learning how to navigate and coordinate with the rest of us on the Wiki, here are some suggestions on a couple of things I noticed:
 * Before uploading any image, try to make sure that the image does not already exist. Searching can be tricky, but you can look at the most recently uploaded Images by clicking the Explore tab > Images. An example of this is the "peacock mermaid" image you uploaded yesterday. If you look just beneath it in the list, you can see that it had already been uploaded. Double checking helps us keep the Wiki clean.
 * Similarly, before uploading any entries to the Costume Carnival or Cosplay pages, look at the page history to double check that it has not already been added. You can find it by clicking the orange arrow next to the Edit button. If you look, you can see that the "Peacock Mermaid" entry had already been added and sorted into the Fantasy category as "Mermaid Princess."
 * Try not to publish an incomplete entry to pages before they are ready. If you want to work on it over time, you can put the following code around the entry to save it in the source code without it being publicly visible:  . This comes in to play in situations like  the "Feeling Sick" entry you worked on, which I would highly recommend not publishing without the picture.
 * the "Feeling Sick" entry is also a good example of what entries should be included on the Costume Carnival page rather than the Cosplay page. The Cosplay page is intended to be for identifiable characters from movies, books, plays, tv shows, anime, etc. (such as Luke SkyWalker, or the Phantom of the Opera). All other entries that don't have a specific character in mind should go to the Costume Carnival page, under the appropriate category. The "Feeling Sick" entry would be a perfect candidate for the already existing "Feelings" category on that page.

I hope that's not too overwhelming -- just trying to be helpful :-) I went ahead and corrected the individual instances I mentioned above. Looking forward to continue serving the community together!
