User talk:Simpsonsdude13

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Simpsonsdude13!

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:Simpsonsdude13/(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.
• There are certain restrictions on the content and amount of userspace content a user is allowed. For details, see the Userspace policy
• Unless prior permission is given, no user is permitted to edit another user's page. Furthermore, edits to other users' pages are permitted only if there are problems that spread to other parts of Bulbapedia, such as broken links that appear on the wanted pages, switching out duplicate images that appear on the Archives, etc.
• Fan fictions, missions, riddles, games, and anything else deemed not suitable for the wiki will not be allowed. If you would like to add something, but do not know if it is acceptable, ask an administrator.
• A list of administrators that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! ----PAK Man ^Talk 15:44, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Please

Slow down on editing the User: namespace. There are only three userspace edits allowed per day, and you have gone over the limit. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --The Dark Fiddler - Smarter than the average bear! 16:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Shippings

A shipping article goes into its own namespace. For example, the proper place for ForinaShipping as at Shipping:ForinaShipping; just plain ForinaShipping should be used as a special kind of warning redirect known as a shipping redirect. --Shiningpikablu252 17:51, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Link Templates

Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{p|Absol}} instead of just [[Absol]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. --Shiningpikablu252 17:51, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Help?- unsigned comment from Simpsonsdude13 (talk • contribs)

Note: I used a code on someone elses page to help me.

Fixed it up for you. There was a missing } on the Supersonic link template. Gywall^(Talk) 19:13, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

A question

I'm a bit confused. On Pokémon pages, it has movesets for Pokémon when they're evolved. This movesets have moves learnt at Level 7, 10 ect... but the Pokémon would even have reached evoloution! For example; Sceptile learns a move at Level 16, the Level which Treeko evolves into Grovyle. Why though?- unsigned comment from Simpsonsdude13 (talk • contribs)

Again

This is your second warning. Please refrain from editing the User: namespace too rapidly, or you will lose privileges. --HAH⁰⁸ 13:30, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Please sign your comments with four tidles (~~~~) so that everyone knows who put the comment there. Thanks!----The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 22:38, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Signature Policy

As per the Signature policy, your signature should reflect your username in some way. At the moment, your signature is simply "Eliot", which isn't close to your username at all. I'll need you to edit your signature to reflect your username more closely (shortened versions of your username, etc, are fine, but it needs to at least resemble your username). Thanks in advance. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 11:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Signing

I am sure this wasn't the first time I fixed your unsigned message with a {{unsigned}} template. Now, try to remember to sign your messages on talk pages. If you don't know it already, it is done by putting four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your message. Thank you. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 16:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

BTW, it is pretty interesting how you say you've seen a shiny Onix and a shiny Vaporeon in Gen I... I think you meant Gen II, right? Shinies were not implemented in Gen I. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 11:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

There in a list by Generation. Onix and Vaporeon are under Generation I, because that is the Generation in which they appeared. SD13 Simpsondude13>SD13 Talk 11:03, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, you just list them by generation. Okay then :P UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 11:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
