User talk:KevinM

Welcome to Bulbapedia, KevinM!

Thank you for joining our community! By creating an account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. This is a brief introduction to Bulbapedia's rules and resources to help you get started: All users are expected to follow the code of conduct and to be kind to one another. If you have a question, check out our FAQ; the manual of style provides detailed editing guidance, and the wikicode page provides details about how to use wikicode. You can always ask for help by contacting a staff member. Please preview your edits before saving them; this helps you double-check your changes and reduces the need for repeated minor edits. Use talk pages to discuss changes and resolve editing disputes. Creating a userpage is allowed after you've added to the encyclopedia; for more details, see the userspace policy. 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 and information, check out the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!       BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 20:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Edits

When editing Bulbapedia, could you try and edit the whole page in one go instead of making multiple consecutive edits to a page and check your spelling and grammar before submitting your edit.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 20:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Signature Policy

Heya I know its a lot of rules you are being treated to today, but I just wanted you point you towards our Signature policy, and in particular inform you of our image guidelines, as we do not permit images to be put into signatures. Additionally its best practice not to touch old signatures, you are free to change it as you like over time but once a comment is made on a discussion it should be treated as a static record, as a result I've undone your image additions. Minor corrections such as fixing links in already left comments is allowed, but anything that alters the style or meaning of the comment is not. Please spend a moment going through the policy and then hopefully we will never have to have this discussion again :) 4iamking 19:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Noted. BTW depending on the context and tone in which it's delivered, The use of "hopefully" suggests a desire for a certain outcome, but the phrase "we will never have to have this discussion again" implies a frustration or annoyance with the current situation or topic of discussion. The combination of hopefulness with the desire to avoid a repeat discussion can come across as passive-aggressive. I hope you take a note of that too. Have a wholesome life --KevinM (talk/stalk) 20:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

I didnt mean for it to come through as a passive-aggressive note, more so I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of the rules and guidelines we have here, so more emphasis can be placed on the more enjoyable interactions that come with editing a wiki. You are right I probably should have been more careful in my choice of words, and I appologize for the way it came across. 4iamking 22:36, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

No worries. Thank you for clarifying your intention, and I appreciate your emphasis on fostering enjoyable interactions. I apologize for any misunderstandings or unintended offense. --KevinM (talk/stalk) 23:06, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
