User talk:JoeTE

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, JoeTE!

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.
Read over the style primer before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the manual of style.
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 é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily 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 capital B. 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.
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. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:JoeTE/(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! --^Psychic _Rider^☮ 22:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

IC Pic

Here's the IC pic for ???: {{ic|unknown}}. unknown Use that sort of template instead. Just a heads-up for the future. Yeah, don't delete your talk page either... ht14 22:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. That fixed it. And I won't delete my talk page. I've used other wiki's before(Using this very account), so I know that the talk page needs to stay. Joe T.E. 22:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, I've seen your sprites you had created and I think you will be perfect to help out here, an everlasting project for Custom Sprites.--☆Tavis ource 20:23, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Jeez, I just thouight you wanted to join into the project...don't have to get so mean...but you did say you occasionally make sprites for friends...is Bulbapedia your friend? If so, why don't you help Bulbapedia make some...if not, why are you here anways?--☆Tavis ource 00:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't being mean. It's just that almost everywhere I go that I have posted sprites at, people are ALWAYS asking me to join projects, and automatically assume I want to join them. It gets very annoying having to constantly be asked to join these things, especially since most of them(Including this one) are ones I have NEVER heard of beforehand. When people try to persuade me into joining projects, all it does to me is make me less likely to want to join. I have only truly been a part of one real project, one I ran myself that is currently dead. I just don't like being a part of projects. The two sprites I have posted here are for reasons. Pimperior is obviously to promote my awesome Rhyperior, and the Shadow Lugia one was made to replace the previous sprite on here that was a bad recoloring job. I like Bulbapedia and all, but I am mainly here as a user, article editor, and Pokemon fan, with spriting being a minor thing I am not intending to do much of here. I will probably make sprites for Bulbapedia in the future, but I'd rather make them on my own and on my own terms.
