Appearances

Ok, isn't the same thing appeared in a brief cameo or made ? And the other section is created when there is a spotlight section. Read my discussion with MAGNEDETH on my talk page and you'll understand.----DJ Wolfy 08:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I changed the wording to "Made a brief cameo appearance" because it flowed better than what you wrote originally. Regarding the "Other" section I didn't see what you were doing at first so that's why I undid you. So I'll take responsibility for that part. --Pokemaster 97 13:41, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

No need to worry, just wanted to make sure you understand. I sure had a rough time trying to understand what magnedeth was trying to explain me. As for the "flow" you're welcome to modify ~appeared to made~ everywhere I added. There's a complete list on M11's page.----DJ Wolfy 14:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Crydex

You must use FireFox or a similar browser with .ogg support. IE will not work. Also the linkage doesn't really matter, only the browser. I'll put that on there then...--×Rsrdaman× 07:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm, well while it's not a problem for me (I have FireFox as well) it does kinda leave out users with Internet Explorer which could be inconvient for some users/readers. Not saying your idea is bad, but just consider those people stuck with IE. Keep up the good work though~ --Pokemaster 97 21:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Bianca's Emboar

Please calculate again. It shows the episode as a Pignite, not the episode for waiting to evolve as a Emboar. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Ray]][[User talk:KyleRGiggs|mond]] 12:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

But we don't know when it evolved.--Force Fire 12:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

The last time we saw Pignite (BW049) it was a Pignite. When we saw it in BW071, it was an Emboar. She never stated when it evolved, therefore it evolved somewhere between BW050 and BW069. Considering its debut was BW013, that makes it somewhere between 22 and 58 episodes which we know it was a Pignite. It is like this on other pages as well.

Mack

A scan of Pokémon Adventures says otherwise. - unsigned comment from Mikuri (talk • contribs)

I'm sorry, but that image isn't showing up on my computer, can you explain what the image is or link to another site please? --Pokemaster 97 03:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

The images shows Courtney saying that the Three Fires in Team Magma refer to the three Coordinators within the team, so Mack and Tabitha are also Coordinators.--Mikuri 03:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Try this link. --Mikuri 04:02, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm, I don't think the type of Coordinator they are referring to are the kind that enter contests correct? If that's correct that means you are correct to say that they are coordinators, but the category link you used links to the wrong type of coordinator. --Pokemaster 97 04:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Courtney tries to convince Ruby to join Team Magma telling him that the three admins of the team are Coordinators like him. See the following page. Well, that's how I interpreted. If I'm wrong, I apologize. --Mikuri 04:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm honestly conflicted :/ You would probably be better off going to the Head of Manga Zesty Cactus and see what she thinks about it. --Pokemaster 97 04:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I'll talk to her. Thank you. --Mikuri 04:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Juanita's Golurk and Fly

There has been some disagreement that Juanita's Golurk actually used Fly. While I agree that the mere act of flying is not in and of itself a use of the move Fly, I would like to argue that Juanita's Golurk is a different case, because not only does Golurk fly, it uses flight to launch a direct attack on Damon's Reshiram/Zekrom repeatedly that cannot be recognized as any other move. In addition, just before Golurk attacks Reshiram/Zekrom for the first time, Juanita calls out "Golurk, stop <Reshiram/Zekrom>!" which is an attack order that doesn't actually name an attack, which we've seen before. --The Great Butler 03:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Yea, I wasn't really involved with that issue so I'll give you BotD. On the Samurai's talk page I was saying be careful not to assume that actions are moves all of the time. This is one of those cases where it would be fair to assume it was the move fly. However, with less appearent moves we can't be 100% sure. --Pokemaster 97 15:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Arceus

Is it possible for arceus to learn draco meteor without the draco plate? because mine did.--Poke1 16:07, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

According to the Draco Meteor page, Arceus should not be able to learn that move without the Draco plate. Are you sure it wasn't holding a draco plate at the time? --Pokemaster 97 00:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

No i sold the draco plate on accident--Poke1 03:10, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, well I don't know how that happened. I suggest visiting Arceus's talk page and ask there so you can get more opinions. Also, please remember to indent your comments so the talk page sections can stay organized. --Pokemaster 97 11:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Welcome aboard! ~~officially.~~ So happy to have you on board with us. May not get a chance to talk to you on AIM 'cause of the busy schedule, so here it is. Also, use your new tools wisely and keep up the good work ;) ♫♪ エイディニズ ♪♫ 17:16, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh my goodness. All these colors and links~ I'm still having a hard time believing this, thank you and I will do my best! --Pokemaster 97 21:58, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you :) --Pokemaster 97 16:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for getting the table and stuff for the Victini Sticker Book. Pringles 01:57, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

No problem, just remember in the future to use the {{BookInfobox}} when creating book related articles. Cheers! --Pokemaster 97 01:59, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Victini Sticker Book

I wrote a list of all the stickers, uploaded an image, and tried to make it perfect, so how did I do? Pringles 02:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Well, I feel that the "List of Stickers" page you created can be combined with the main article. We don't do that for other pages so we should be consistent. The main book article is still a stub so the tag should stay until the article is more thoroughly completed. Other than that, you've done a good job with everything it seems. --Pokemaster 97 03:04, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I moved the list over, but it's all spaced weird. Can you fix it? Pringles 03:22, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

It looks like Kogoro fixed it up for you. --Pokemaster 97 15:46, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Is it still a stub? Pringles 21:08, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I've removed the stub notice now. --Pokemaster 97 21:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Contest battle

Why you moved "Contest battle" to "Battle round"? Just 'cause I did not give a reason or started a discussion about it? The whole article explain the change in title! Besides, the ~official~ name of the round is Contest battle. Can you revert this? --Mikuri 01:52, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I explained the reasons for the move in the move summary. Kenji-girl, the Anime Head, gave me the ok to revert your move under those reasons. I suggest going to her for more information. --Pokemaster 97 01:59, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. --Mikuri 03:05, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Piping battle variation links

Moving the battle variations to being capitalized was done because they are officially capitalized. Piping the links to them so that it appears as the lowercase defeats the point of moving them in the first place. So [[Double Battle]] should be used over [[Double Battle|double battle]]. --SnorlaxMonster 13:43, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Some of the sentences had "double battle" with everything lowercase, so I thought that in situations like that we didn't need to capitalize it. So they should be capitalized no matter what? --Pokemaster 97 15:47, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, the idea is that in articles we've had "double battle" etc. not capitalized for way too long, and this move is intended to fix that. Everything should follow this. --SnorlaxMonster 11:40, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Sorry for the mistake, I've just about fixed all of the incorrect ones. --Pokemaster 97 15:57, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Signing

So that what happens when a user uses three tildes instead of four. I had to deal with a majority of comments that were not signed before while I was removing dead links on pages which was why I accidentally marked yours as unsigned. Apologies for the misunderstanding that happened. Patty Man 21:32, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

No need to worry, I understand. Thank you for pointing it out though, I probably wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't. Cheers! --Pokemaster 97 21:38, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry

I was just trying to help by adding new languages. Very Sorry, MISSINGNO ADDICT 01:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Just want to say thank you

Thank you for changing the table for that article. It helped a lot. --Midnight Blue 23:51, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

No problem, keep up the good work :) --Pokemaster 97 23:53, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Ice Burn

I didn't see that the image of Ice Burn has already been added which explained my own revision. I also clicked on the + thingy on the top page which led it to the bottom of the page instead of the area I wanted. Patty Man 22:44, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Hmm the (+) sign does not appear on the top of mainspace pages, at least I don't see it. Well, be sure to be careful about that in the future then. --Pokemaster 97 22:50, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

The (+) is below the sitenotice and above the name of the page. It's not the one in talk pages. Patty Man 22:59, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I know the one you are talking about. Yeah, I see how that mistake could have happened. --Pokemaster 97 23:03, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Not a problem. Patty Man 23:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Tetsu

Can you help to create the article? Gspbeetle (talk) 14:35, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Well firsty, I don't know who Tetsu is, so you should go ask another staff member or user. Also, if you cannot create an article it's probably because you are not Autoconfirmed. Please do not try to get around it by creating it on the talk page. --Pokemaster 97 14:40, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Why?

Not to be mean or anything, but can you please tell me why you took off the trivia? I can't find a logical reason for you to delete that I had many sources and it should be counted as a Mitake because, In the movie they count them siblings but in the games they count them as a couple. - unsigned comment from ‎GoldenSpoink (talk • contribs)

I removed your piece of trivia because it was very unclear what you were trying to say. It read This movie caused controversy if either, Latios or Latias are siblings or a couple. The "if" signifies uncertainty, which makes the trivia become a bit speculative. The trivia started off with a factual stance, but turned in to a more speculative one, which is why I removed it. --Pokemaster 97 15:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Additionally, you appeared to be mixing two medias together. The anime =/= equal the games. I don't recall the games calling them a couple either. --Pokemaster 97 16:11, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Welcome template

Any particular reason why you reverted my talk page? I felt the Welcome thing was unnecessary and it's been there a long time so I wanted to remove the clutter. Was I not supposed to remove it? Chicobo329 (talk) 17:59, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

You wouldn't have called it "clutter", if you gave it a proper read. The talk page page policy clearly says that removing comments is prohibited, unless it is spam, content that would be better suited to the Bulbagarden forums, or a reply to an old comment. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 18:06, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

I gave my apologies to Pokemaster and will keep this in mind in the future, thank you. Chicobo329 (talk) 18:13, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Good to know. I was in the middle of writing the message, so I didn't see your reply earlier. Anyway, have a good time contributing! Adyniz — Wanna talk? 18:14, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations (again)

I'm glad you we're promoted to Senior Admin. You deserved it! サトシ101 (talk) 21:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I was only promoted to Administrator, but thanks so much :) --Pokemaster 97 00:53, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

powerhouse

hi i was wondering trip serperior personality of type said very little dealing those oppents he defeat them easily without getting a scratch on him it should said serpeior speed, agile, and strength shown can defeat pokemon with type advantage of being a high level pokemon makes trip serpeior a massive powerhouse like ash sceptial is proven to be strong enough to defeat tobis darkrai with two leaf blades attack. should ash krockrock should be a powerhouse as well being able to use dragon claw to dragonite to hit it hard enough to the wall proving to be stronger then iris dragonite. Ash snivy should be powerhouse as well having high level moves since it was caught and defeated trip servine and frellfish attacks to defeat Sony took awhile that will make snivy endurance very high on her side with a dermentaion on her side will make her a taugh Pokemon as a powerhouse. Ash unfuzant is a powerhouse Pokemon to stay in in the Personality and characteristics. Also his unfuzant is stronger then skyla swoobat, and swanna as a tranquil it took many attacks to hold on her battle even had a battle against skyla unfuzant so when eloves it proven to better then swanna like her speed and power was even better then swanna to handle unfuzant stregth. Ash pignite is little the same as pignite to be a major powerhouse Pokemon to endure many attacks and defeated his old trainer with two fire attacks and taking hits from poision types moves of homika Pokemon. Bolder should be ash tank Pokemon in his team taking alot of attacks of oppentents and with sturdy as a ability really prove to be a tank pokemon - unsigned comment from Gian9456 (talk • contribs)

I don't think any of that is needed. This is the anime, we don't use terms like "tank". Also, just because a Pokemon is powerful it doesn't mean that it is a powerhouse. Saying that for all of Ash's Pokemon is redundant and really unnecessary. So I'm going to say no. Also, please sign you comments. Thanks, --Pokemaster 97 17:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

but it makes sense of those pokemon of ash should be a powerhouse and trip serperior is the probably the strongest of his pokemon it will makes sense why he only use one pokemon then the others because trip knows he is a massive powerhouse in his team showing confidence and full dermentation on his side proving his power speed and agile there is full power inside serperior even defeated one or two attacks against his opponents like cilan crutle pignite and the other two trainers he defeated easily with no taking hits of any of his opponents at all. proving to be a massive powerhouse and ash sceptial should be a massive powerhouse defeated tobis darkrai and other popoents as well since caught as a trecko that was the most often use pokemon in the hoonen region to the battle frontier. - unsigned comment from Gian9456 (talk • contribs)

I just spotted this guy spouting the same crap on DarkMike's userpage... _{Sneaking from page to page... It's the page-editing purple ghost...} Gengar zilla! 17:37, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

@Gengarzilla Yeah, I took care of it by deleting the page. @Gain9456 I already gave you my answer and I'd appreciate it if you would stop spamming the same question across the wiki. --Pokemaster 97 17:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Responses to Pokemaster97

You posted something on my talk page. It asked me why I have 2 accounts with the same IP address. I'll tell you why. I forgot my password and I wanted to change my e-mail. I didn't know how to do that so, I created a new account. I didn't know that you can't have more than one account. P.S. I wrote this on a 3DS, not on a computer. --Pikachu022 (talk) 19:47, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I see. So you'd be fine if I went ahead and blocked the old one for you? --Pokemaster 97 20:23, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Spambot

One or more of the users named LavonnaitsgokkrpxBruch is a spambot and not yet blocked. Wrrasba (talk) 20:27, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Done. --Pokemaster 97 20:34, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

There is another user named MurrayxwhobavpbiKantah as a spambot and not yet blocked. Wrrasba (talk) 00:09, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Done, but you've got to give us time to respond to them. That bot made an account less than an hour ago. We're not online 24/7, but we'll try to get to them as soon as we can. --Pokemaster 97 00:38, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Notice on Rebecca Honnig

two things: 1. As stated somewhere on Kenji Girl's talk page, the "do not play by ear" thing refers to episodes done by TPCI under Duart (post dp053) and not the 4kids dub as there is no definate way to find out who did the voice. don't believe me? ask KG, she said it herself. and 2. Annie read the credits and we saw Rebecca Honig in the credits. If i was playing it totally by ear, then I would have put Emily Robbison as the voice of Claire but i didn't as ods are she hasen't voiced too many characters in the series minus Max's Ralts (not the telepathy, but the RAAALTS!) either way though, the best chance you have of proving me wrong is not the fact that there's little data online about it, but rather your best chance would be to somehow contact Honig or Robison to find out either. again, consult Kenji girl about the play by ear thing, or leave me alone regarding it please. thanks and have a good day. Christian Woods Azu! 10:31, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

If you provided a source in your edit summary, then maybe I wouldn't have reverted your edit. Your edit summary on Clare's article said quote: It's either Rebecca Honnig or Emily Robbison. That gave the impression that it was an assumption. It doesn't matter who did the dubbing work, we still don't assume VAs. I checked KG's page and saw what you were talking about, but it still doesn't change what I said above. Also, please don't tell me to "Leave me alone" about it. It's my job as an administrator to make sure all information being added to articles are correct. I hope you understand my point of view. --Pokemaster 97 20:19, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Granted, but let's take a look at it before you do anything else to my edit: The advanced genoration episodes do not state who does what except for Pikachu, and Rebecca Honnig's name does appear in the credits for that episode (according to annie) also i believe she saw Emily Robison on that episode as well, so i came up with that not by mear assumtion but by careful voice analysis. data or no data, i do ask you to leave me alone in order to prevent edit waring. i knwo what i'm saying here, pluss i do have the right to ask you to leave me alone in order to prevent conflict. Christian Woods Azu! 16:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm not trying to prove that your edit is wrong, I'm trying to tell you how you need source VAs so something like this doesn't happen again. I know good and well not to edit war and one revert is far from an edit war. When someone disagrees with you, the solution isn't to say "leave me alone", you talk about the conflict until it's resolved. Note the 2nd bulled at the bottom of pages when your editing. Please note that all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you don't want to own up to an edit, don't make it. --Pokemaster 97 20:24, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Ok, but how do i source it if it is a 4kids voice actor and no data online is there to prov eit, and the only source i have is Annie reading the credits to me? I mean my gf would never lie to me, i've know her for 14 years. Anyway, in the edit summary, can i put "could not find online data, my source is the credits for the episode, as read by annie." if i can't find online data?

Christian Woods Azu! 22:52, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Something along those lines would be good, just something that says you have a source (credits or otherwise) is good. --Pokemaster 97 20:06, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Will do, we're going to look for more characters with unknown English voice actors in the 4kids dub, and then if annie finds the name, i'll put it in. thanks, we'll start on monday when i land bakc at home. Christian Woods Azu! 19:23, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good. Sorry if I gave you a hard time. Have a good day. --Pokemaster 97 19:26, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi

I see you fixed something on my userpage. I rarely visit nowadays, but thanks for that anyway. OwnageMuch (talk) 01:57, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

No problem. I was the one who messed it up by moving the picture, so it was only fair for me to fix them. /o/ --Pokemaster 97 11:39, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

List of Berries by attribute/size/firmness

How does this look? I can't think of a good title to move it to when it's good. --Abcboy (talk) 14:14, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

I think it looks rather nice. For the name, I'd suggest List of Berries by attribute, but I'd like to get more opinions from some other staff first. It looks good though. --Pokemaster 97 14:20, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Ok. --Pokemaster 97 03:27, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that

I admit, you were right in removing that comment there. I'll make a note to myself to check next time. I did move the comment to the proper place, and told a staff member what's going on. Berrenta (talk) 04:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, it was an honest mistake. --Pokemaster 97 04:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Origin strcuture

See this. Should it be like that at all? --Abcboy (talk) 07:04, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

I personally think that it would look better separate. Having them separate is also consistent with the other origin pages. --Pokemaster 97 13:16, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Multipage vandalism

It came to my attention that User:OminousWind has replaced all the Greek names in move's names with swearwords; some of them particularly vulgar. 278 edits in total. Just a friendly tip from an oldtimer :) Arty2 (talk) 16:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

I just looked at some of them on Google Translate, and it looks like you're right. Thanks for letting us know. I'll talk to a staff member who understands Greek a little better to handle it. (I know nothing about Greek :p). Cheers. --Pokemaster 97 16:37, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Erm...

Hi Pokemaster. I'm coming to you regarding the edit I made to the disambiguation page "Unknown" within the past few minutes. I added info regarding Gen. VI's unreleased region name, and I intended to remove it from the page willingly once its name was officially revealed, when the time comes. I just thought that since clicking on the region's name brought me to that disambiguation page, I thought that it would be a lot better if it was even mentioned there, if only temporarily. I know the summary of your edit said "Unnecessary," but I, for one, believe it is necessary until the official name is introduced. Once it becomes outdated, it becomes unnecessary on that disambiguation page, which would then justify itself for being removed from the disambiguation page. I hope you understand my concerns. Have a great day! 〜Pikachu 9000 01:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I removed your edit because "Unknown" is just a placeholder until the actual name is released. That template is built to automatically link what ever word is put in the field, this time it happened to be unknown. I don't think people would search "Unknown" to try to get to Gen VI's region page. Also, it creates a circle, people will click on the link, get to the disambiguation page, and be linked back to the page they came from. It's not really practical. --Pokemaster 97 01:54, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Whoops

My bad, thanks for getting those. Haven't moved a page in well over a year. R.A. Hunter Blade 19:02, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

No problem, I figured you had just forgotten so I when ahead and changed them. Keep up the good work. --Pokemaster 97 19:04, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Editing getting deleted

first off, i would like to say that a ton of my edits are constantly being deleted, leaving me going absolutely nowhere in bulbapedia. how do i get them back/on there, and what is causing all of this madness!?–Snivylover20 (talk) 05:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

A lot of your edits have been undone by other users because it was either unneeded, or it didn't follow Bulbapedia standards. My suggestion for you to improve as an editor is reading the Manual of Style. This is a great resource to use because it shows you the ins and outs of editing. I hope this helps. --Pokemaster 97 19:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. but now all I need to know now is where to start... -Snivylover20 (talk) 19:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

You can start with these. --Pokemaster 97 14:58, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Template Preview

Do you think that there would be someway to make a Template Preview so that when editing a usermade template it doesn't take five edits just to make it work correctly with the #switch{{}} type stuff. -EVsAndIVsaurs ^(Talk) 14:49, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Other than using the preview button I'm not sure there is a way to test it without editing it several times. You could try the Sandbox, a place specifically designed for testing things of that nature. --Pokemaster 97 20:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

I really don't understand how you're supposed to use that for testing templates, since unless you can make a sandbox/template test/EXAMPLE you would have to delete the rest of the stuff there to actually test a template there. -EVsAndIVsaurs ^(Talk) 01:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to do here. If you want to see how a template works, you can either use the sandbox (just add a new section at bottom of the page), or you can test it in your userspace. For example if you have a template at "User:IVsaur/TEMPLATE", you can test it on its respective talk page "User talk:IVsaur/TEMPLATE". The staff is a bit more lenient if your editing a template that will be put to use in the mainspace later on, just don't get to excessive with it. --Pokemaster 97 01:15, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Basically when I had been editing the User:IVsaur/User Starters I had to edit it multiple times because the #switch{{}} function hadn't been working how I wanted it to and I couldn't see anything except for the default until saving it, so I had to save it see how it looked and then edit again.* -EVsAndIVsaurs ^(Talk) 02:22, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Okay I understand, just try to be more aware of the amount of times your editing the page. I don't think there's any real way to test it, but through trial and error. --Pokemaster 97 15:58, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Transparency

Sorry, now I will of course, for some reason I always ignore the transparency template after uploading the picture. --Gabo 2oo (talk) 23:34, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I just wanted to make you aware of it. --Pokemaster 97 23:37, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Preview

What happens when a user who is in forcepreview ends up making multiple edits in one go? I saw someone with that user right doing so on a Trainer class article recently. Patty Man 06:16, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Ideally, the next step would be a block, but I've handled it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. --Pokemaster 97 17:41, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome. Patty Man 18:26, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Riox-Ibui

Shouldn't his Archives account recieve a block too for the same reason as the bulbapedia one, but someone higher than jr. admin on the Archives will have to do it? Another question, who is going to take over (username wise) for him with this page? Patty Man 04:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes it should. I only have Junior Administrative powers over there though, so I'll have to ask someone once I get home. As for the page, I moved it to my userspace, where others can work on it there. --Pokemaster 97 16:51, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

My page

Where do you find the rights to movee my page under your ownership? I sent you an e-mail. Read that please, and then reply to me. AlexWateR 13:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

I haven't received any emails from you. Next, I moved the page to my userspace because I was trying to be nice. You're in abuse, if I moved it to your userspace, you wouldn't be able to edit it anymore. If you would like to continue editing it, it has to stay somewhere where everyone had access to it, my userspace was the best place I could think of. --Pokemaster 97 18:44, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism

I'm not sure whether any of the admins noticed Vilhelmin whose only edit is vandilism. -EVsandIVsaurs 23:33, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, we noticed that user. Since they haven't done anything else, we decided to just leave it for now. We're keeping an eye on them though. --Pokemaster 97 23:42, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Speculation crackdown?

What does that actually mean? Chaossy (talk) 02:50, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Sometimes, when new information is revealed, people rush to create pages on them prematurely, which may lead to speculation leaking into them. In an attempt to control the speculation, we generally like to protect pages from creation so the staff can sort through the information first. --Pokemaster 97 03:09, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Moving pages

It was suggested for moving Payout to Prize Money, three people were for it, and no one against. Is that enough?-EVsandIVsaurs 21:09, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to see what Jo The Marten thinks first (since Games stuff is her area), then I'll get back to you. The move shouldn't be a problem though. --Pokemaster 97 21:23, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Ok, you can go ahead and move the page when your ready. --Pokemaster 97 23:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Oren Berry

Oren Berry is currently a Double Redirect but it's protected for some reason. -EVsandIVsaurs 15:23, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

It's been fixed. --Pokemaster 97 21:56, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Cloyster: Clitoris + Oyster

Hi, I was wondering why you keep revising my edit of the cloyster article. Raykyogrou0 (talk) 14:59, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that. I thought that it was an error on my part, that I clicked a wrong button or something. But on the other hand though, lots of people say that cloyster looks like a vagina (actually, I just noticed that) and it got me thinking. What if cloyster is secretly clit+oyster? Just saying. Raykyogrou0 (talk) 15:08, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Uhhhh....

I am a newer member....not even sure if I'm putting this in the right place to be honest....

Anyway...uh...I literally just read a message sent to me about trivia... I honestly am a little confused, as I do not think that this is making much sense... Can you be a bit more specific? I thought my purpose was to edit...and I honestly do not remember reading anything specifying this kind of editing. I really am confused...is there anything you can do to make a bit more sense out of this? Thanks...

Needs more Pikachu...and some Mudkipz too... (talk) 00:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

What parts would you like me to be more specific about? Since the guidelines are fairly new, they haven't been written down in an official policy yet. Of course it's your purpose to edit, it's just that the staff felt we needed to clean out the rather cluttered trivia section by purging the trivia that's not really notable. --Pokemaster 97 00:28, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

What ever works...part of this is 'cause I joined for the love of Pokémon and I kinda' wanted to stand out I guess...part of it too is that I struggle with some rules when it comes to the "edit-every-now-and=again-to-keep-this-place-in-good shape-but-don't-get-carried-away-'cause-we-don't-need-excess" rules...Part of it is that I'm only 15 and life has been a jerk since I moved from Illinois to Arizona back in '05...cannot go into detail 'cause I think its kinda' personal...Stress has been just a factor...Acting like a Pikachu at one point got pointing and laughter...No one but my brother and a friend gets that Pokémon changes your life...When I first came here 'cause the previous site I was using caused me to miss an event, this place was nice. That was back January of '09. This place...the people got it. For years, this place was the site to go if I needed help with Pokémon game [though I'd try to avoid it until I beat the Elite 4...]. It was just a place that seemed like a place meant for this kind of stuff...I joined only a few days ago...I wanted to make sure I'd get a userpage. Why? Because Pokémon has been my life since 2008. I even have a Pikachu from Barnes & Noble that I've used as a teddy bear lately. He comforts me. He has been my comfort item. Like a blanket you see cartoon kids snuggling with. It matters. This place...it means a lot. I want to show that I'm not here to be a @$$hole and crush the s**t outta' this place.Half the stuff I've put up with is something most adults don't even come across. And I have been in moments where I question if I should kill myself.But their are too many reasons to not do this. Pokémon is one of them...and it is my love of Pokémon that has made me willing to work my butt off to make this place a place where people can leave their worries behind...at least for a few minutes. And that is what matters.

I hope this clears some my actions...at least some what. Thank you for trying to at least help. Needs more Pikachu...and some Mudkipz too... (talk) 04:52, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm trying to be specific on what I'm NOT supposed to do [along the lines of editing...not obvious rules like "no swearing", but exactly what I need to avoid when editing. This is what the message I got said...

*First in National Dex Order to/of/that x

Only type in a color group
Can learn x without x/Has x but can't learn x
Pokedex =/= game mechanics
Move learnability across generations

It is not very specific, it is not making a whole lot of sense...and it is very, very basic. In fact, it barely tells me what is to be avoided. And it is not specific. I like being specific [obviously]...also, I want specific info because I dislike breaking rules...so I usually want it to be so specific that there are no loopholes for either side whatsoever. So that is the reason I'm being picky on precision. Thanks...Needs more Pikachu...and some Mudkipz too... (talk) 23:11, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I think you are misunderstanding the message. Those guidelines only apply for trivia, not editing in general. For links to all the rules on Bulbapedia, look at the welcome box on your talk page which was provided for you for your convenience. Try reading over the Manual of Style and FAQ for more info. --Pokemaster 97 23:30, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I'll try that. I'll get back to you on that. Needz mor Pikachu...and sum Mudkipz two...[Pikachu1770] (talk) 01:12, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

If it's ok..?

Seeing as you stated on another user's talk page a bit ago some trivia is no longer needed, will be alright if I go through and remove those bits of trivia from pages with that kind of trivia (only type in a color group, pokedex and game mechanics seperation, etc.)? Frozen Fennec 00:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

If you'd like to help, that would be great. The only exception to the guidelines you mentioned are the "first" Steel-type (Magnemite) and first Dark-type because they were added later on. --Pokemaster 97 00:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Alright then. Will work on that then. Thank you. Frozen Fennec 00:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Ya...if you wanna clean up, you can do so. If you wish me to clean up myself, I will do my best to restore it...sorry for the trouble =I

Just curious...what is with the H.P. thing on your page? Needs more Pikachu...and some Mudkipz too... (talk) 04:54, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

It's supposed to represent the HP status of my talkpage, it gets lower as the page gets longer. I'm pretty sure I coded it wrong though, but meh. --Pokemaster 97 16:18, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I honestly wanna get my page a little "suited up". Is there a site where I can learn Wikicode, Templates [made by Bulbapedia and how I can make one myself], and also where I can add/make little gadgets [like the HP on your page]...got anything? Needz mor Pikachu...and sum Mudkipz two...[Pikachu1770] (talk) 23:28, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you I will go remove my edits that are incorrect. Bublapedia is so hard to edit.Minor Notes (talk) 19:55, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Note that not all projects have the same guidelines, so it's always a good idea to check the Manual of style and the other guideline pages to gain a good grasp on all of the policies and rules. --Pokemaster 97 19:59, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh I didn't mean that I meant that it is actually really hard to add anything useful since Bulbapedia often the hard stuff is left to complete which I don't know. Next to that talkpages I edit are often not answered which is rather frustrating.Minor Notes (talk) 20:04, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

N

Do you keep up with the Japanese anime? If you do, there is a post on N's anime talk page that was somewhat responded to and I'm not sure if it was the actual response to my topic. Other than that, both topics on the page haven't been responded to in a while. Patty Man 20:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't really keep up with the Japanese anime, I'd suggest talking to Adyniz or G50 about it. --Pokemaster 97 21:17, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Spoke to Adyniz about it. Patty Man 21:24, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Edit

This edit summary is too explosive. Patty Man 03:41, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, did that come off as explosive? My intent was to comically preempt any notes on my talk page for editing a page multiple times in a row. Sorry about that. I'll keep my caps to a minimum in the future. Dragonhat (talk) 03:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Musashi's "on hiatus" status

First, I think it's important to note it, because it indicates that she's still part of staff (as opposed to being former staff), while just saying she's retired would lead to confusion. Secondly, she will be taking up a new role when the hiatus ends, so we would need to edit her part of the page anyway, so removing the "on hiatus" to make her entry more permanent doesn't actually help that much. --Evil Figment (talk) 00:01, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I thought because she was in the "Other Noteworthy Staff" section, it was implied that she was still on staff, but I see your points. I can put it back if you would like. --Pokemaster 97 03:02, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

bot pages

I am aware of what Jo told me. This one was exceptional since someone decided to make the userpage, unless that too fell into the category. Patty Man 01:14, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Even so, it was still less than than 20 minutes since the account was created, one the administrators would have picked it up. It's really not urgent unless the spambots are vandalizing pages or etc. but all they're really doing is creating talk pages and doing nothing else after that. --Pokemaster 97 01:29, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

That means it still counts as putting in the delete tag on their pages. Very well then. Patty Man 01:32, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Noted, I will not do it again in the future. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 01:16, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

something fishy

I'm kind off suspicious about the edit warring that happened on the Lass and Braviary pages. The user who did it was kind of similar to a past user that did it. Might want to check them out. Patty Man 02:57, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

We looked into it and there wasn't enough evidence to conclude that the two users are connected in anyway. Thanks for the tip though. --Pokemaster 97 03:08, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Userpage

Hey I am editing the page a lot simply to get it set up. Once its set up then It wont be editing a lot. I like to make sure it looks nice. Besides I have only made 2 edits to the page and have added 14 edits today. It shouldnt matter anyways as I am adding to other pages too, not just mine. Im just setting it up to get it started BlackDragon 23:01, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Actually, the user space limits count for all of your pages in the user namespace, so your sandbox and talk template count as well. Counting those, you have a 5 edits. I know you want to have a nice looking userpage, but that doesn't mean you get to ignore the userpace policy. --Pokemaster 97 23:10, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Even when I am talking to a senior administrator? And Yeah 5 edits, so what. Most of those I simply created the page and left. Im aloud to do that. What about that hurts the site or anything else? I can set my page up. I have done at least 4 times as many edits to pages yesterday. BlackDragon 17:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk pages are not the user space (that's the user talk space), so that doesn't count. I don't care if it's creating the page and leaving, it still counts as edits. We have limits because people abused the privilege of editing the userspace in the past. Letting you edit as many times as you want just because you're setting your page up while others obey the 3 edits a day limits is not going to happen. If everyone else can follow the rule, you can as well. If you decide not to, you'll find your userspace privileges revoked. --Pokemaster 97 17:27, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

abuse

The user TheBlazikenMaster has just used the edit summary to verbally abuse someone.

Spearow (Pokémon)‎; 16:20 . . (-123)‎ . . ‎TheBlazikenMaster (Talk | contribs)‎ (By no means does the Spearow count as an "antagonist". Do you even know what an antagonist is? I doubt it.)

The conflict seems to have arisen when the user Perseus54321 added trivia to the Spearow article about Spearow technically being the first antagonist of the series in Team Rocket's absence.

I thought it was best I contact you over the matter, since you have prior experience in dealing with TheBlazikenMasterYamitora1 (talk) 20:54, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me, I'll take a closer look at the situation. --Pokemaster 97 20:55, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk pages

Let's say a sockpuppet got caught/blocked, does putting a delete tag on the sockpuppet's talk page fall under the same category as in putting one on a spambot's talk page? Patty Man 05:56, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

It really depends on the situation. If a sockpuppet has a lot of messages on it, it really should be kept for historical purposes unless an Administrator decides otherwise. Socks that have little to no edits and talk page messages, then we're more likely to delete their pages. If it's a sock from long ago though, it's really no use to go back and delete their pages. --Pokemaster 97 16:55, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Comments

Explain to me why I can't remove comments off my page. This is really ticking me off. - unsigned comment from Abdullahi456 (talk • contribs)

This is for historical purposes and so Bulbapedia staff don't give repeated warnings about the same thing. Also, if you click on the history tab of your talk page, you can see I haven't been the one reverting your edits recently. --Pokemaster 97 03:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Man, you are working my last nerve. I never said you reverted them, I know it was another user. I only asked you because you told me it wasn't allowed. Does archiving it work like you said? - unsigned comment from Abdullahi456 (talk • contribs)

Yes, archiving your page would work, just move your current talk page to User talk:Abdullahi456/Archive 1, that would make your page clear of the messages. --Pokemaster 97 16:16, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

A question

Can you ask Relicant to stop using hidden text on talk pages like this? Thanks. — Reshi 643 18:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been noticing her continuing disruptive behavior. I'm going to speak to an Editorial Board member about it once they log on. I'll speak to her again though. --Pokemaster 97 18:26, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

How about a reason why she is using the behavior for no reason in the first place? Patty Man 18:43, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say Patty. --Pokemaster 97 19:18, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

I am asking why does Relicant like to be rude/mean toward users? It is becoming complex like that Ash and Paul rivalry, and Team Rocket going back to their white uniforms. Patty Man 19:28, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Episode guides

I was reading the episode guides on here and noticed that EP220 - EP222's guides matched the ones on serebii (only a few words were changed around). Patty Man 05:30, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Not to be rude, but I might be able to explain what seems to have happened. I looked at Serebii's synopsis of episode 220 to compare the two. After seeing what looked like massive copying, I noticed a few details. Serebii credits a user named "Xeno Lugia" for the guide, however there is no user named Xeno Lugia on Bulbapedia. Looking closer, the edits to the Bulbapedia article were made in 2006 and by a inactive staff member, which seemed funny as they should have been noticed sooner. In addition, the edit summary is just "Synopsis by Altomare Latios" Looking at the Serebii guide, you will find a link is placed at Xeno Lugia to "[email protected]" and there is a user named Altomare Latios. Looking at their userspace, it appears that the two users are one and it seems we have consent to use their synopsis as long as credit is given.

Granted, there are several potential issues that this could bring up. Though, it is important to note that Serebii seems to only have permission to have the guide as long as credit is given, much like our situation. Not to mention, it doesn't seem like Altomare has had a problem with us using it over the past seven year. --Super goku (talk) 07:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Adventures in Unova and Beyond

The logo image from Cartoon Network lists it as "pok16_beyond", which means it's part of season 16. Also, the episode guide lists the first episode using the "and Beyond" title (as it can be seen in the synopsis section) as part of season 16 as well. --Gabo 2oo (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see, I just wanted to make sure ^-^. I noticed your message about allowing the seasoninfobox template to have more than one region. I'm going to try to talk with some other staffers (more template-savvy ones) about adding parameters to make that possible. --Pokemaster 97 19:26, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Wanted pages

For this, should the link be replaced with the unsigned template, or the redlink template? — Reshi 643 03:05, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd go with an unsigned template since the user didn't properly sign the post in the first place. --Pokemaster 97 03:11, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

I went with unsigned, thanks. One more thing, for the staff page, Webmasters is a wanted page that anyone can create. Can I ask for it to be changed to Executive Policymakers, or the Webmasters page to be protected? — Reshi 643 03:27, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

The Executive Policymakers actually underwent a recent name change to "Webmasters" and we haven't had a chance to fix everything. We will be doing that shortly. --Pokemaster 97 03:41, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Question about the userspace

For the userspace, is only putting a delete tag on a page count towards the three edits a day limit, because I would like to put it on two pages that I want to be deleted? — Reshi 643 03:56, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Ehh, we're more lenient about things like that, so it won't be an issue. --Pokemaster 97 04:11, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. — Reshi 643 04:18, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
