Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Tylerkarnes!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

  • For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
  • The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
  • Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
  • The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
  • The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
  • The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
  • On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
  • The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
  • If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
  • A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
  • For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
  • Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded.
  • If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Tylerkarnes/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
  • Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
  • A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --ニョロトノ666 12:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

No.

I don't know whether you're a n00b or just an extremely unfunny vandal. If it's the former, please take time to read the above welcome notice and Manual of Style before making any more edits. If it's the latter, please stop or I'll give you a few days off. --ニョロトノ666 18:06, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Seriously. Care to explain to me what you're doing! It's not really serious vandalism, but it is pretty annoying... --ニョロトノ666 18:14, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Stop The Vandalism Dude! If you think about it, your just destroying other peoples hard work! --Davidaipom 18:16, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Make sure we have an image before you just add it to an article. I don't know if you're generally trying to help but failing epically, or if you're just some kid who's thinking "lolz, look at all the nerdy pokemans dudes gettin all pissd at me cause im screwin with there wiki." Make another unconstructive edit and I block you for a little bit. --ニョロトノ666 18:35, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

And u r making up info as u go along!--KukiTalk 18:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Blocked

I've given you a block from editing for three days. It's a lenient ban, considering that you have no constructive edits yet, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and hoping it's simply mistakes on your part. Take a read through the policies here, and listen a little closer to warnings next time (such as the one directly above this comment, which you ignored). -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Stop

Stop making edits like Paul's Skorupi and on Paul. He doesn't have that Pokémon. Stop now. You have been blocked before for it, you will probably be blocked again.--PsychicRider 14:02, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Inserting false information is highly frowned upon here at Bulbapedia. If you cannot respect our rules, then I will be forced to take action. This is your final warning. --PAK Man Talk 14:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

can I protect Dawns Pachirisu because it is quite possible it will be released in DP94

No, only admins can do that. And sign your comments with this: ~~~~. Its not that hard to do.--PsychicRyder 15:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
ok.--Tylerkarnes 15:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
And can you make an original signature, that isn't mine, with your name on it with your links in it? --PsychicRider 15:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Seriously. Yay. You think Ash will catch Meowth. So what? Take it to the forums or put on user page. (Hey PsychicRider, how many people have attempted to take your sig?) ht14 13:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
TAKE IT TO THE FORUMS!!!! ht14 13:46, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Last warning

I'm warning you only once this time. Stop adding false information to articles, or you will be facing a very long block. I'm being serious. You've been told numerous times to stop, but you keep going. Enough is enough. Stop or there will be consequences. --PAK Man Talk 23:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

That's it

Your vandalism will no longer be tolerated. I have asked an admin to block you again. Chocolate 17:21, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Editing basics

Please, learn to use the Show Preview button more often (it's right next to the Save Page button); you can save both yourself and the other editors a lot of trouble if you check each edit before you save it, to make sure the result actually works. I can only assume you're trying to add useful information with most of your recent edits, but you're making so many edits to the same page, it's hard to tell what you're trying to do.

And please, sign your comments on talk pages by using four tildes, like this: ~~~~
The four tildes will automatically post a signature, rather then you needing to type out - or attempt to type out - the coding for a signature yourself. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 07:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Preview

Please make use of the preview button. Making multiple edits puts stress on the server. --PAK Man Talk 16:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

DP107

How do you know that Rampardos and Bastiodon belong to Roark and Byron respectively? Any sources? Ej92 16:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC) Yes go to serebii.net for magazine scans of the episode Tylerkarnes

Um, hate to break it dude, but he didn't post scans for the episode on his website. Checked the forums as well. Nothing. Ej92 18:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry dude i guess my friend told me wrong.Tylerkarnes

Stop it

There is no page on Paul's Magmar. It just redirects back to his page. So stop adding it back. Paul's Magmar isn't notable enough for its own page. --ケンジガール 01:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

And also, stop redoing the spacing on Paul's page. It's fine the way it is, and does not need to be changed. --PAK Man Talk 02:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Why...?

Why'd you do that? --ニョロトノ666 23:23, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

idk why do you have666 on your page - unsigned comment from Tylerkarnes (talkcontribs)
Because I'm allowed to do (almost) whatever I want in the userspace. Now seriously, make a genuine effort to contribute constructively or face yet another short block. --ニョロトノ666 23:29, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

it's kind of stupid r u a christian - unsigned comment from Tylerkarnes (talkcontribs)

Religion has nothing to do with this.--Coolピカチュウ! 23:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
answer my question - unsigned comment from Tylerkarnes (talkcontribs)
666 is a number just like 48863232 is. Face it, I'm a Christian, and I don't worry about the number if its context is acceptable. And remember to sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~), this was already mentioned in your welcome message (I hope you already read it through). UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 23:42, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
it isnt just a number its the mark of the beast i would be ashamed to have that number - unsigned comment from Tylerkarnes (talkcontribs)
Read my message again, the context has to be taken into account. AND SIGN YOUR TALK PAGE COMMENTS. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 23:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Speculation. Bad

This edit, for example is speculation and is bad. Not to mention you used the wrong pronouns. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 19:00, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, your edit on DP111 was reverted because of it was pure speculation. UltimateSephiroth (about me · chat · edits) 19:05, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Link Templates

Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{p|Heracross}} instead of just [[Heracross]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. --Chocolate (Chat with Me) 02:54, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Chingling and Bonsly

Where did you get the information that Hareta has Bonsly and Chingling? Is the info true, or are you just randomly putting fake informations to articles? Seeing that you were doing that before, it's possibly. So, tell me NOW - does he REALLY have those Pokemon? Where did you get the information from? --Maxim 15:45, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

i read in the 3rd and fourth chapters and it told he had them - unsigned comment from Tylerkarnes (talkcontribs)

Stop.

AWith all the speculation i recommend reading the site's rules.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 21:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
