Preview Key

Utilize the Preview key when making edits so you can ensure that the changes you make turn out the way you want them to. This helps when arranging pictures and cuts down on smaller edits that can be done in one edit. --rockersk08 23:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Pics

Thanks for your pics in Gary Oak. Now I'm asking more. I put a template also to the "Temporary" part. Could you add missing pics there? --FinnishPokéFan92 07:28, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Signature Linking

Please link your username in your signature as [[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] or {{u|Hikaru Wazana}}, NOT simply [[Hikaru Wazana]]. Doing it the last way adds your username as an unwanted link on our wanted pages, something that's frowned upon here. --Shiningpikablu252 19:12, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Code of conduct

Try reading it. Your recent edit shows that you probably didn't. Thanks! XVuvuzela2010X 02:43, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I did not offend anyone. In fact, Sheldon is a great character.--Hikaru Wazana02:49-15 July 2011

Actually, I got the joke, and actually chuckled to myself. You didn't offend me at all. I watch the Big Bang Theory all the time. :P Littlmiget123 03:23, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
My bad. Sorry about that. XVuvuzela2010X 04:07, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Cynthia (anime)

Don't do it! Stop this splitting madness! We can't split every single game character article. - unsigned comment from Maxim (talkcontribs)

Casey's Elekid

I saved the text as you mentioned in the edit summary if the page were to be deleted. If you would like for me to send you the text either on your talk page or through email, please say so. Thanks. --ケンジガール 02:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Send me by my talk page.

Taking advantage, I like to know, like a page I've been working on months about the anime Cynthia will never see the mainspace area of the site, right?--Hikaru Wazana02:09- 14 November 2011


The text is hidden right above this message. And I really don't see Cynthia (anime) being a mainspace page on this site unfortunately. Cynthia hasn't done that much unlike Professor Oak, Giovanni, and of course the main characters. --ケンジガール 02:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)


Right, I understand. =(

And thanks for the backup--Hikaru Wazana14:00- 14 November 2011

Preview link

Thanks for the link for that preview. I just got there in the nick of time, for when I updated the page after I had seen it once or twice, it was already gone! --FinnishPokéFan92 13:09, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Link templates

Hey, I just saw your edit to the Cynthia article, and I'd just like to remind you to use link templates, like using {{p|Garchomp}} instead of [[Garchomp]], since that is the whole purpose of link templates. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 02:52, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

EP001

That was a complete accident. It may have to do with my use of my 3DS and a probable character limit - unsigned comment from SandmanDP (talkcontribs)

BW001 Preview

I search the Preview from BW001, pls send me Link, thx. --Altruis 17:57, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Userspace warning

As of today, you have edited the mainspace 9 times this month. You have edited the userspace 12 times. That is against the limit of the userspace policy. You also edited the userspace in January more than the mainspace. Please reduce the edits you make to the userspace, or your privileges may be revoked. -- MAGNEDETH 03:43, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, it was never my intention to violate any rules.
But I always tried to keep me tied to the three editions a day, and Personally I do not think it's something useful for Bulbapédia fill the several pages with useless trivia.
If I see something useful to be added I put, as in my historical look and you can see that pages like Gary's Arcanine and Casey for example, were almost stubs before I add information to them.
Well, I'll try to restrain myself in my edits to my userpage anyway. The problem is that my time is relatively short and I have to make minor edits during my free time.--Hikaru Wazana 04:37- 08 Frebruary 2012

Grammar

Ahem, I noticed your edit to the Wani-Wani article and I noticed that the grammar was...less than satisfactory. I'm not trying to offend, but the line "it stands up well to the attacks of Wani-Wani and Typhlosion as he prepares to fight back the attack of the opponent an explosion in the background hangs the battle." is really hard to interpret. I'm trying my best to try and fix it, but please try harder to perfect your English next time. I'm sorry if this sounds insulting. Ataro 00:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Ok, i understand.--Hikaru Wazana 01:00- 7 March 2012

OK, I don't want to get into an edit war with you, so I will tell you here. A battle is a battle you say? Then how come we don't count the times Ash battled Team Rocket? And it wasn't really a battle. Persian appeared, and Pikachu attacked it. Giovanni came in and had his Persian attack Pikachu, which easily defeated him. Ash didn't know he was battling Giovanni. Second of all, I know Mewtwo Returns is canon, but saying "Ash meets Giovanni for the first time since Mewtwo Returns" isn't big enough for a major event nor does it make sense. サトシ101 (talk) 20:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

The two Pokémon exchanged attacks and it ended in a winner. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what a Pokémon battle is? Also, meeting up with Giovanni again after a few years gap is fairly notable. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:22, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Shobu

...Hello. I see that you made an article for Shobu. Thank you. As an encyclopedia, these are obviously necessary. What's not necessary, however, is an article with no information on it. Please, next time, please put actual information other that "x character is a Cotd." An article with just that is no different than no article at all. Categories, plot summaries, voice actors, etc, are all needed. Ataro (talk) 00:38, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Escavalier

Sobre a sua edição na página que eu estou tentando criar, não, não tem problema nenhum, todo mundo pode ajudar. A minha grande preocupação é ver se é notável o bastante para ser uma página da Bulbapedia, o que você acha?--Igor (talk) 02:42, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Notável até é, mas ja vi recusarem paginas mais importantes como os Pokemons do Drew ou alguns de Paul como Weaville e Gliscor, então não sei o ponto d evista da Bulbapédia com relação a ele, inclusive até o Emboar da Bianca teve um trabalho imenso pra ser aprovado. Conversa com a Kenji Girl, capaz que ela aceite afinal o Escavalier teve um bom destaque até agora.--Hikaru Wazana 03:50- 3 December 2012

Anime Cynthia

Keep this page groomed. Kenji Girl recently stated that characters will be more inclined to be made into separate anime pages if they have appeared in at least three anime series. So, if Cynthia appears anytime during XY, we can mainspace your page. As long as you can get it and keep it up to date as best you can. MaverickNate 21:04, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

For me, characters from the anime itself should have your pages unique to anime characters as done for the characters of day, many other wikis use this option primarily to increase the content of their characters, the wiki of Saint Seiya has a page for every canon of each saga and its characters as well as wikis from heroes of Marvel. Cynthia had a much greater weight in the story Lyra which in turn had a page for her. However I just back at work with the Cynthia's page if Kenji Girl tell me it will not be deleted.--Hikaru Wazana 03:50- 16 September 2013

Ammoonguss

Stun Spore is not an attack it is a status so that trivia is relevant. - unsigned comment from Rahl1 (talkcontribs)

XY075 trivia

While it was true that Jessie and Meowth met Steven in Advanced Generation, I doubt they remembered something that happened for awhile since no one could remember everything and Team Rocket has been too occupied with the main protagonists all the time. PattyMan 01:54, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Signing comments

In the future, please sign comments with four tildes, ~~~~, so that your signature includes the automatic UTC time stamp with your comment rather than using a manual time stamp. Please take some time to review the signature policy, thank you. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 05:22, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Nice Work

I know I'm not Kogoro, but I caught your request at her talk page. Nice work on those, especially (I think) the one for Shauna, which seems very detailed. I hope they get approved. I think they would go through the entire Editorial Board, not just Kogoro herself, but that is a good first step. =) CycloneGU (talk) 18:11, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. :) --Hikaru Wazana (talk) 12:55, 2 October 2015 (UTC

    • Sorry, I could not resist. I expected twenty years for this. --Hikaru Wazana (talk) 12:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Pokémon gender

Please understand. On Bulbapedia, it is our explicit policy that a Pokemon's gender can only be confirmed by explicit dialogue or by Attract/Cute Charm, or gender differences if the different genders have both been seen and the differences are unambiguous (i.e., while Dustox does have gender differences, it's not feasible to actually judge their gender by it since it's a relative difference). You have been informed of this very clearly.

I can understand your frustration when you consider it obvious, but we also cannot have you continuing to flout our wiki's standards. You don't have to agree with it, but please do follow it. Do not add a gender unless you can cite dialogue, point to Attract/Cute Charm, or show unambiguous gender differences. Nothing else is acceptable.

Thank you. Tiddlywinks (talk) 17:34, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

First, thank you for coming to talk to me about it. The problem with this rule is that Atract is a move that was only introduced in Diamond and Pearl (ie, "a short time") in anime. Because of this, many Pokémon in the anime before that had only its kind revealed by visual references (eg Ash's Aipom, Buneary, Butterfree, Charizard). The Atracct rule is not 100% effective, it is worth mentioning (I have my doubts about the way they used to define the genre of Tierno's Blastoise).
And the anime pretty much already established that there are two types of genre to the Pokémon, male and female, including giving a specific for the gender neutral in the Pokémon games. And most of these revelations have always been, I go back to do, made by visual references (Pokémon using dress, suit, a more delicate look to females, among other things).
Another point to be placed is than imposing this to Pokémon belonging to characters that probably will never return to the anime.
But ok, I will not engage in discussions like this. I will follow the rule, although I do not agree with it and think it needs should be reviewed.--Hikaru Wazana (talk) 12:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Signature policy

I notice you somehow signed your talk page post as if it was posted three years ago, which you had to change. I'm not sure what happened, but you can just type in four tildes (~) like the reminder says above. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 22:21, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

I moved away from the portal and the wiki for a long time, so I just forgot how some details were. The date in question was a copy and paste of a formatting of an old message. I wanted to be able to contribute to Bulbapedia gradually as before.Hikaru Wazana (talk) 22:21, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
Oh, well, now you know. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 23:42, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
Are you in charge of the anime section?Hikaru Wazana (talk) 00:21, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
No. I do contribute a lot to it, though. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 07:00, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
abcboy is the current head of anime. If you have any questions, talk to him. --Mikuri 22:15, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

(resetting indent)Thanks, people. =D Hikaru Wazana (talk) 09:33, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

You're welcome. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:13, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Hau (anime)

I notice you have your own page for Hau (anime), trouble is I've already started work on one which came first--BigDocFan (talk) 07:49, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

You being the first to create a page means very little. Staff has mainspaced pages in the past without taking into consideration which one came first. If your page is closer to the standards they're looking for, then it will get mainspaced. Otherwise, you don't get to claim that you're the only one who has the right to create a page on a specific subject. --Mikuri 22:15, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Your talk page comments

Perhaps you should calm down a little and be more civil with your debates. Screaming isn't really going to help your case. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 01:24, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Go's Pokémon

Just thought I'd let you know, I've started work on pages for Go's Mantyke and Dewgong if you want to help--BigDocFan (talk) 12:51, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Oh, I do want to. I want to try to do as much as possible for his Pokémon. Thanks for letting me know.Hikaru Wazana (talk) 12:59, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Link templates

I'm going to have to remind you that there's a distinct difference between linking [[Brock]] and {{an|Brock}} for your edit to Amphy. Thank you. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 08:41, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I forgot that. Thanks.Hikaru Wazana (talk) 10:24, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
You're welcome. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 10:46, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Gengar's former Trainer

I'm not sure if this Trainer is notable enough to get his own article. He doesn't even have a known name or that much screentime. I recommend you always ask an admin before creating an article if it's notable enough to receive one. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I imagined that he would fall in the same condition as Damian and Shamus, so it would already be considered remarkable. What happens from now on?Hikaru Wazana (talk) 21:04, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Run it past an admin, see what they say.--BigDocFan (talk) 21:05, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Shamus was only notable because he had a full appearance after getting a cameo earlier, a quota this Trainer doesn't fulfill. Unless we know for sure this Trainer is going to return in a major role in the future, we must assume this is the last we'll see of him. As such, the character is not notable enough to get an article. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 07:10, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
He's essentially a character of the day, and cotds always gets articles if they appear physically and have an important role in the episode. Gengar's former trainer certainly fits both of those, especially the latter since it expands on Gengar's backstory.--ForceFire 07:46, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Oh, I didn't realize that. My bad. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 07:46, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Accents for Pokémon

Don't forget, the "e" in Pokémon needs to have an accent over it. You can accomplish this by pressing the "ALT" button, then punch in the numerals 1-3-0. Thank you. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 07:40, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Edit warrirng.

Hello. I understand if you've noticed a theme with Ash's various PWC opponents, but when someone reverts an edit you made and gives a good, logical reason for doing so, don't just add it back for no reason. Secondly, if you wanted to add that trivia piece back, then just copy the removed text and paste it back instead of just undoing the whole reversion. Ataro (talk) 16:14, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I'll keep an eye on that, thanks for the warning. If I follow this tip now (to copy only the part of Trivia), will I be committing this infraction or is it better to let someone else do it?Hikaru Wazana (talk) 16:24, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

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 Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --Bfdifan2006 18:22, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
