User talk:Swift4Sweeper

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Swift4Sweeper!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
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, see the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

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 Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --AGGRON989 23:28, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Blurbs

Please do not alter the blurb to fix any spelling or grammar errors, they are meant to be presented as they are on the official Pokemon site. Thank you.--Force Fire 17:08, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

VA sources

IMDB (an to an extent, BehindtheVoiceACtors) are not reliable source as those sites can be edited by anyone. The only valid confirmation is via the voice actors themselves (via any social media platform) or the voice director. Thank you.--Force Fire 06:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Deleting comments

Please do not remove talk page comments, per the Talk page policy, that includes the welcome template. And you removing the warnings on your talk page implies that you are unwilling to listen nor take the warnings seriously. If you continue to remove these warnings, you may receive a block. Thank you.--Force Fire 05:26, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I originally had thought that I had control over what was shown on my account's talk page. It was a mistake, albeit a stupid one. - unsigned comment from Swift4Sweeper (talk • contribs)

Synopsis expansions

I appreciate your help in expanding and improving the episode synopsis I've written. I'd like to note, though, that not every detail from the episode needs to be in a synopsis, so if something is missing from a synopsis, chances are I've omitted it on purpose. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 10:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, apologies about that. I'm a very detail conscientious person, and I sometimes (mistakenly) believe that others would appreciate the level of detail that I put into my academic writings in non-academic settings. I appreciate the constructive criticism! - unsigned comment from Swift4Sweeper (talk • contribs)

Signing

Please remember to always sign your comments. You can sign your comments with 4 tildes (~) or clicking the signature stamp ( ) on the top of the edit box. It should also be noted that once your comment has been marked as unsigned, you cannot replace it with your signature as it will give off the wrong time stamp. Thank you for taking your time to read this message, have a good day. --Landfish7 02:43, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Adding anime moves

Generally, moves should be not be identified based on animation alone unless it is one of the moves listed here. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 15:08, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

First thing, your post has a typo. I'm not going to fix that since it's your error. Getting that out of the way, 99% of the time I would absolutely agree with your statement. I had that exact line of thought in mind when deciding whether or not to make that edit. However, if an attack carries the IDENTICAL animation as a previous episode (in this case JN113 and JN071 for Hyper Beam), that move at least should probably remain. Passive aggression aside, next time I'll think things through a fifth time before making that type of edit. Thank you. Swift4Sweeper (talk) 17:04, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

"First thing, your post has a typo. I'm not going to fix that since it's your error."

I missed the typo and that's my bad. However, the "I'm not going to fix your error" comment was completely unnecessary. I'm simply pointing out the move policy and happened to type a second "be" by mistake; it doesn't diminish the point of my comment. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 19:12, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

I more so meant that because it was a typo to begin with, I didn't want to fix it and receive a comment saying that you can't edit a comment left on your page by another person. I assure you that your point certainly wasn't diminished. Swift4Sweeper (talk) 01:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. Sorry for the misunderstanding. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 23:58, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm glad that the misunderstanding was absolved. Have a nice day! Swift4Sweeper (talk) 14:14, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Multiple consecutive edits

If you are a staff member coming to my page to tell me about the policy of not making multiple edits in a row on the same page after I had to make 3 edits to the Missions/Requests page for Legends Arceus, this message is for you. I know the policy, don't worry. I pray just as much as you that it won't happen again - I just wanted to make sure it all was done right and that my errors were corrected sooner rather than later. If I hadn't made the mistakes the first two times around, it wouldn't have happened at all. But don't worry, I know the policy. We should be all clear with that (thankfully, for both our sakes). :) Swift4Sweeper (talk) 02:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
