:The article's entire premise is not notable.  Do we need an article about something illegal?  No, we do not.  If we were to consider the [[Hack]] article notable, then we'd have to consider articles about stuff such as AdvanceMap, GoldMap, and other ROM editors notable as well, along with articles about stuff such as Quartz, Chaos Black, and the like.  If that stuff was to be considered notable, Bulbapedia would be a mess.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, there's been a lot of disagreement over the card project, see? Until it's all settled, we were going to keep the whole thing on hold, see? So I took a break from making the articles, see. Waiting until it all got settled. So please stop with that stuff. The longer it goes on, the harder it'll be to settle everything, see? The card project is a really big one, so we really can't afford to have things go on unattended. -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 03:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:What disagreement?  Last I heard, things were going really smoothly with no disagreements.  Simply put, I'm 100% certain everything's been settled.
:If you're talking about the pictures, [[User:Politoed666/The List|there's a list of articles without pictures]] available for reference.  Every single article without a scan is listed on that page, which means scouting out articles without scans just became super-easy.
:Also, I'm not one to stop in the middle of a task.  If you really want me to put card article uploading on hold, wait until I've finished work on {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} and {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}.  Once that's done, there will be no sets with red card article links between {{TCG|Base Set}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:14, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
::Well, if just GH and GC remain, I suppose it's fine to finish them up. Our main quarrel has been over how to ''name'' the articles, actually, and what to do about reprints, whether in the same set or not. It sucks because we really can't do much without everyone currently working on the TCG project coming to an agreement, and more importantly, can't really say anything when people are in the middle of uploading card work... hence our dilemma.
::If you have AIM, it'd be greatly appreciated if you were to come to a chat about the TCG articles, but if not, eh, we'll see what we can do. Maybe we'll just use IRC.

:::Excuse me, you are not complying what has been stated. It was said that you should finish Gym Heroes and Gym Challenge and then we would settle the disputes. Yet now you are dabbling in other things, against our word. That is… not good. Ignoring what people have to say is not a very good policy… -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 04:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
::::Deleting what people have to say is even worse than ignoring it. Now you're doing both. After all of this, you're still doing it.

== Team Tornado Sam ==
I don't like your attitude, whether its a good one or not. And I really don't like you insulting Team Tornado like that. Read ''Team Tornado Sam'' under that PAK man guy's talk page...
PS: I see Team Tornado as a wonderful idea, and I would be impressed if I were you.
:Look, I'm not singling out your fanfic.  ANY fanfic stuff is considered unencyclopedic bullsh*t on Bulbapedia, and if we were to consider one fanfic article as notable, we'd have to consider every fanfic article as notable, making Bulbapedia a goddamn motherfu*king mess.  If you absoultely must include your fanfic stuff anywhere on Bulbapedia, do it in your user namespace where you don't have to worry about it being considered unencyclopedic bullsh*t.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:50, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Um...why are these articles named differently than the other TCG articles?  [[Spearow (Jungle)]] as opposed to {{TCG ID|Jungle|Spearow|62}}?  This is going to mean that a LOT of redirects are going to hve to be made.  -[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">Politoed</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">666</span>]]
:Actually, one of my original plans for my current project was to move the articles to the current naming.  However, Happy Mask Man would probably have a cow if that were done.  I'll only make the moves if TTEchidna or someone like that deems such a task to be absolutely necessary.
:Don't worry, though--the Spearow (Jungle 62) format is perfectly usable for links.  I made sure of that by creating redirects to the not-quite-right name articles awhile back.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
