== USER COMMENTS: == All users, please write your comments here.

Don't sign in articles

Please don't sign your edits in mainspace articles, as you did on Dewgong (Pokémon). Signatures are only allowed in talk namespaces. Thanks. --Bulbapedian - Talk 01:50, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Movesets

stop adding movesets, we dont add tier info to pages. -- MAGNEDETH 01:56, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

do it again, and yous gonna regret it, via bloackage. -- MAGNEDETH 01:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

And you can't put it on the main articles either. Don't put your suggested movesets ANYWHERE on Bulbapedia. Except maybe your userpage. --ケンジのガール 02:40, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

You can put your suggested movesets on your own new page, at User:Lapras/(my movesets or whatever). That way, you can put as many as you want without people yelling at you. PH1RESTRIKE 02:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

For all we know, these "bullies" are the sysop of the pedia. I suggest that you read first that welcome message and visit the links there. ^_^--☆Kevzo8 02:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Administrators. --☆Kevzo8 03:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

We're not bullies. We're just tough love, especially when you don't listen the first time you're told. Anyway, ew with the suggested movesets and tier crap. We're an informative encyclopedia; we list off all the moves a given Pokémon can have in one generation (otherwise I would've dumped the FRLGE move tutors on the Gen IV movelists) so that people can come to their own decisions of what moves to use. And see what's legal. I mean, hey, DynamicPunching Tyranitar out of nowhere like whoa! You'd freak. I'd freak. But then I'd come on Bulbapedia and see "Oh, it can have that, huh." But suggestions? Icky. Those address the reader, and I don't see Encyclopedia Britannica's article on Florida telling you to go visit...

Anyway, believe me, it's not the first time someone's added tier stuff to the pages, so excuse us for being just a little frustrated with that. Likely won't be the last time, either... Gurgh. Maybe we'll dump something like that in the appendix someday, but then we'll have people arguing over it like they were about the tier list someone decided to put up.

Re:Thanks

1. Magnedeth is not bullying you. You know, it's the internet. Maybe he said that because you did not read or ignored the Welcome section. It greatly helps new users like you.

2. You become an admin if you meet the criteria here, you did great job in the mainspace, you're nice to users, etc.

3. Please click the "+" section if you're making a new topic.

Thank you. Have a nice editing there. ^_^--☆Kevzo8 03:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Just a little addendum to #2 there: not asking really helps your cause... TTEchidna 03:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi

I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to only edit their pages four times a day, at most. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok? Thanks! --The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 19:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Link Templates

seriously, learn them. also, E4 members are not dual-typed. they use some dual-typed Pokemon, but, they are only classified as one type. -- MAGNEDETH 23:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk Page Comments

Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former had erased and was trying to keep erased. That user ended up blocked and subsequently had every erased comment restored. --- Kogoro | Talk to me - 23:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Signature

If that "/\Talk/\To/\Me!/\" is part of your signature, I recommend putting up on the same line as the main text (i.e. your name). Line breaks in signatures are not allowed, as per here. Further, to answer your question, you are not allowed to remove comments on your usertalk page as they are left as a history of what has been said. You are permitted to "archive" these by moving the entire page (see here, but this should not be done because you are hiding things, more because your talk page is already full. I hope you can understand that. — THE TROM — 22:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Here*2. If you want, I'll do it though... ^ht14 22:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Abuse

Thanks for reading my green box and giving me a walloping. If you really wish to persist, I've left a reply on my talk page. It would be nice if you could reply there. — THE TROM — 22:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
