Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than one edit per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --[[User:Adyniz|<span style="color:#009900;">'''Adyniz'''</span>]] — [[User talk:Adyniz|<span style="color:#003399;">'''Wanna talk?'''</span>]] 13:07, 11 September 2012 (UTC) | Hi.

== 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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #224a9a"><b><span style="color: #2b5fc7">M</span>asatoshi</b></span>]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #118eb2"><sub><small>''talk''</small></sub></span>]] 15:09, 23 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Using proper explanations == | |||
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Virgil&diff=next&oldid=1859711 Simply ''saying'' someone is a reliable source] is not a proper form of defense. You need to provide a proper explanation, such as: | |||
:''This person is an animator and actually does know the voice actors. Here is my proof:'' | |||
It's like the story ''The Boy Who Cried Wolf''. When too many people cry wolf, or claim they have information but won't provide a source, people start to not trust other people. Then when someone actually does have valid information, but they still don't provide proof, no one believes them. So my point is, you cannot just ''say'' that they're reliable. I don't know him. For all I know he could be lying. It wouldn't be the first time. Voice actors have been easy targets in the past for edit warring. That's why we have such strict rules for determining voice actors. So the next time you're in a dispute, back up your claims with feasible proof. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 00:31, 8 March 2013 (UTC) | |||
::I'm sorry but I just got tired of saying the same thing over again. I know we've had erroneous VA claims in the past (I still regret believing that stupid Henrietta Million thing), and I agree with the strict primary source rule. As for Kirbopher, I felt the same way at first when someone defended his VA claim. I thought "Really? How the heck is some random user a reliable source?" I went to his talk page ready to confront him on playing by ear, but when I did so, Blazingfist messaged me that Kirbopher is an official source, as he has been a voice actor for the anime before. I checked his talk page and found that was true. His real name is Christopher Niosi, the English VA of [[Khoury]]. Embaressed, I started taking his edits as fact and defended them whenever someone reverted it (believing he was guessing). I am positive he is not guessing for three reasons: | |||
::1. He provided a source for Iris' voice on her talk page (contacted her). | |||
::2. Since he has worked with Tom Wayland before, he likely has contact with him. Other VA's are an official source, after all. | |||
::3. The info he provides is always accurate. All KG has had to fix is the different alias Tom may have given her. Yes, he rarely encloses a source in his edit summaries, but that is because he doesn't know very much about editing on Bulbapedia. | |||
::Again, I'm sorry for not providing a thorough source explanation; I hope this is good enough. If not, then I guess I'm wrong. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ101]] ([[User talk:Satoshi101|talk]]) 02:25, 8 March 2013 (UTC) | |||
