Welcome to Bulbapedia, Airbeats!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --ht14 21:25, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Regarding images

Here in Bulbapedia we prefer pngs over jpgs for most images. Please refrain from changing them back to jpgs or jpegs. Thank you. ht14 21:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't understand why it keeps getting reverted the Pictures I put are a little better than the previous ones. - unsigned comment from Airbeats (talkcontribs)

One, use four tildes (~) after you comment. Second, as said previously, png images are preferred over jpg or jpeg images. If you feel your image is of better quality, do so by uploading over the png image. However, in regards to your young Misty picture, it was the same exact image, albeit smaller quality. ht14 21:38, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Airbeats (talk) 21:47, 1 August 2012 (UTC) how can my pictures be by png? In regards to the young misty picture, it was the exact same one yes, but with better quality regardless if it was smaller, while the bigger one made it look blurry.

The tildes is at the end of the comment. As for png, I'm not too sure but I believe there is a jpg to png converter. As to the young Misty image, wouldn't it have been better to change the px amount? ht14 21:53, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
The easiest way to change an image from jpg to png is to just simply open it in Paint or any other image editing software and then resave it as a png or any other format you want. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:02, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

The picture has been converted to PNG, is that fine now? I learned how to convert it. Airbeats (talk) 22:14, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

When someone undoes your edit, and tells you that it isn't necessary, do not add it back. You've made eleven edits to Misty's page today simply from edit warring (repeatedly re-adding information that was previously removed). Our anime head, Kenji-girl prefers our current image, not to mention your image was lower quality, so we're keeping the current image as it is. For your insubordination and edit warring, you've been blocked for a day. Bring your A-game tomorrow. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 23:44, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

02:13, 3 August 2012 (UTC)Airbeats (talk)They told me it was to be a PNG file. Yes, I've kept making the edits because they kept on reverting. My image lower quality? Please don't lie, it's rather rude & disrespectuful of your part. My image was looking 10x better than the one you kept on reverting to. So the only low quality image was Kenji-girl's. You should have said in the first place that you like your low crappy images how they are so I could have understood earlier. Plus, I had my A-game up since 8 track.

Images

Regardless of how you feel about the situation between yourself and Jo the Marten, your attitude regarding the matter is unacceptable. Jo was not only making correct and civil points that you refused to acknowledge, but you accused her of being "rude and disrespectful" where-as it is clearly you that have crossed this line. Your attitude in this subject, and overall, has been less than acceptable and I highly advise you to be more open to constructive criticism and don't yell at the people trying to help you. Your images were definitely below our standards of quality, but you argued they weren't. We are all working together to make the site the best it can be. We would have no reason to lie and degrade your photo if it was better. It isn't about you, it's about the site. -- MAGNEDETH 03:08, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

His points were not correct & civil, they were incorrect & uncivil. I highly advise you not to intervene in conversations because you're messing up my page. Fact of the matter is, don't degrade my pictures. Instead of using encouraging advice you said my pictures were egregious and that's officially pulling the trigger. Who's yelling? I'm not yelling. I'll keep arguing that they aren't. Me more open to constructive criticism? you're the one who should be more open to it STOP saying it's just me. This site is obviously not better if everything keeps being reverted. Something that should really be added as a foot-note when users wanna sign up here.Airbeats (talk) 03:24, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
