Bulbapedia is not blocked at my workplace since it doesn't label itself as an "entertainment" site, so I'm taking advantage of this to spiff up articles I think I can help with. I'm from Tumblr so wikicode is still mystic arcane sorcery to me at this point, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually. My userspace will be for me to list what I want to work so I don't forget about anything.

'''STUFF I WANT TO WORK ON/DO'''
==Overview of Projects and Goals==
* PokeSpe round/chapter summaries for chapters that interest me...make a list later
 
* make the list of Meowth's boss fantasies 100% complete, and add pictures if I can convince someone who's in charge of these things that it could do with pictures. Who do I talk to about that, I wonder?
===Boss Fantasies===
* flesh out any stub articles relating to the main series evil teams
I intend to personally insure that the page on Meowth's various [[boss fantasy|boss fantasies]] is both made complete and graced with a small screencap for each of the episodes listed. Currently there are 75 episodes there and I'd be surprised if there's even 40 left to add; even in its heydey the segment was never ''literally'' once an episode. Current task is to make the full list complete by hand-checking every remaining episode's screenshots on Filb.de; once that's done I'll see about putting together the screencaps.
* ''write Matt/Ark's PokeSpe bio--did this one already'' -- gotta double-check for factual accuracy, wrote it from memory
 
* write decent summary of Shelly/Angie's role in PokeSpe
===Villainous Teams===
* add that bit of trivia about the Devon Corporation as soon as I write down the exact quote from Emerald
I'm quite the villain fan, particularly of the Hoenn folks, so I'd like there to be no main series villain-related stubs on Bulbapedia. Current work in this direction means sprucing up the [[Team Aqua Grunt]] and [[Team Magma Grunt]] articles, writing summaries of characters' roles in PokeSpe, and so forth. A particular goal swishing round in my mind is to expand [[Shelly]]'s article with a more in-depth explanation of her role in PokeSpe (citing the rounds and so forth).
* articles on "Aqua Admin" and "Magma Admin" should have "in the anime" and "in the games" sections listing their specific appearances ''a la'' the article on the Galactic Commanders
 
* TO BE CONTINUED
===PokeSpe Round Summaries===
How is it that the entire Ruby/Sapphire arc of PokeSpe is summary-less? Honestly. Rounds I've got my eye on to write 500-word summaries of:
* VS Lombre
* VS Ludicolo
* VS Crawdaunt I
* VS Plusle & Minun II
* VS Torkoal
* VS Slugma I
* VS Slugma II
* VS Azumarill I
* VS Azumarill II
* VS Pelipper I
* VS Pelipper II
* VS Lunatone and Solrock
* VS Walrein
* VS Whiscash
* VS Kyogre and Groudon I
* VS Kyogre and Groudon II
* VS Kyogre and Groudon III
* VS Kyogre and Groudon IV
* VS Kyogre and Groudon VI
* VS Kyogre and Groudon VII
* VS Volbeat
* VS Armaldo
* VS Kyogre and Groudon VIII
* VS Vibrava
* VS Ninjask
...and more if I can get around to it. One thing at a time, Ganamex, one thing at a time. Though I do wonder whether characters should be referred to in said summaries by their standard name or their Chuang Yi name; it's standard name all over the site except on those individual rounds pages, where in character lists Matt is Ark, Tabitha is Mitch, etc. Honestly I find that ''less'' confusing than calling them by their "official" name--different canon, different characterization and appearance, why not different name too?--but I ought to find out what the actual Bulbapedia policy is before I do anything. Maybe there's an admin somewhere I can ask.
 
===Anime Episode Summaries===
For all the talk above, I'm more a fan of the anime than I am of any of the manga, and I see no excuse for having episode stubs still extant on Bulbapedia. This is the lowest priority job for me, but time permitting, I'll write summaries for episodes that need them and expand those that are already there but don't make the cut. There's only what, about 80 left? I could put a dent in that one weekend.
 
===A.O.B.===
Bit of interesting info on the Devon Corporation that's not in their article yet--reminding myself here to add it once I write down the exact quote from Emerald. This space will also be used to note other things I think of to do that don't fit into a broader category above.
