As I mentioned [[User talk:TTEchidna/Archive Oct 07#Spammers|elsewhere]], you seem to have a real problem with vandalism lately. Autoconfirmation would probably really help, and maybe some other bits of security. I don't know very much about the inner workings of MediaWiki or anything, but if you need some advice, I can point you who to ask. I'm also a member of the [http://www.hrwiki.org/ Homestar Runner Wiki] (in fact, I'm a sysop there), and we had some severe problems just like this a while back. It's largely stopped now, due in part to our security tightening (the other part comes from dedicated users, which you don't seem to be in short supply of here). If you want some advice, direction, or anything on security of your own, I'd ask [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:It%27s_dot_com It's dot com], who is one of our developers and largely responsible for much of the maintenance and care of our wiki. I know he'd be glad to help you out, if he is able, and all you'd have to do is drop him a line on his talk page or email. This site has all sorts of awesome content, and I'd hate to see it ravaged by vandals on a frequent basis. So I'm tryin' to help you out a little. Hoping to see you soon, --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 08:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm also a member of the [http://www.hrwiki.org/ Homestar Runner Wiki] (in fact, I'm a sysop there), and we had some severe problems just like this a while back. It's largely stopped now, due in part to our security tightening (the other part comes from dedicated users, which you don't seem to be in short supply of here). If you want some advice, direction, or anything on security of your own, I'd ask [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:It%27s_dot_com It's dot com], who is one of our developers and largely responsible for much of the maintenance and care of our wiki. I know he'd be glad to help you out, if he is able, and all you'd have to do is drop him a line on his talk page or email. This site has all sorts of awesome content, and I'd hate to see it ravaged by vandals on a frequent basis. So I'm tryin' to help you out a little. Hoping to see you soon, --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 08:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

'''Warning: When reading this suggestion, you might become furious and want to ban me for life (Please don't!)'''
My first suggestion is a rather stupid one: Giving some of us the power to ban new sockpuppets. I mean like you can give {{u|TinaTheKirlia}}, me, {{u|Politoed666}}, and some other people who have been here for a long time the ability to ban new vandalist and sockpuppets. By ''long time'' I mean people who have been on the top cotributor of the month like three times, made over 1,000 edits in a month, never got banned (Well I got banned by accident, you can ask {{u|Evkl}} or me for more info), something along those lines. {{u|Evkl}} and I discussed this a little bit.... --[[Image:Spr 3e 115.gif]][[User:Theryguy512|<span style="color:#FF7F00">Theryguy512</span>]][[Image:Spr 3e 202.gif]][[Image:Spr 3e 327.gif]] 23:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

My second suggestion is that you make new users unable to edit. Wikipedia has this on some articles. Having new users unable to edit or move pages for a time will give admins a good chance to ban them. This will create a lot less sockpuppet attacks........ --[[Image:Spr 3e 115.gif]][[User:Theryguy512|<span style="color:#FF7F00">Theryguy512</span>]][[Image:Spr 3e 202.gif]][[Image:Spr 3e 327.gif]] 23:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Er, hi. I know the User No.1 Fan in real life and he told me at school that he made the account Ph34rulz, and deleted his own User page. He told me it was a small prank he was doing on Bulbapedia(I didn't like the idea, but when I found out he had already done it), but now his ip-address has been blocked and he asked me if you will stop blocking it. I personally think he should wait a while before you remove it, but its your choice.

:"Most of my hard work here, and exspression of self IS IN THAT PAGE." See, that's the problem. On most Wikis I've worked on (trust me, it's a big number), userpages are barely more than a few lines long. Bulbapedia's the only place where I've seen people join just to make a userpage instead of helping the main space. Not only does it kind of defeat the purpose of this site, it puts a huge strain on the server. As it is, I had to refresh this page several times before I could actually post on it because the connection kept timing out; when the userpages are free for editing again, I'd be able to read a short novel in the time it would take a page to load. That's the reason they blocked the edits in the first place, and it's the reason they're going to impose limits when they unblock them. As everyone else is saying, just wait. And don't interpret everything we're saying as attacks against you. For the most part, we're just trying to help. --[[User:Martonimos|<span style="color:#008000;">Martonimos</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Martonimos|<span style="color:#00FF00;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 01:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== Archives Issue ==
For some reason, I believe there's something wrong with how Bulbapedia handles recently-uploaded images on the Archives.  For some odd reason, Bulbapedia won't read some uploaded images as having actually been uploaded--for example, Bulbapedia believes Image:Satoruiwata.jpg doesn't exist, while it [[a:Image:Satoruiwata.jpg|clearly exists on the Archives]].
A bigger example would be images in two edits on [[List of English opening themes]], specifically the first table and the two most recent edits of the article.  The first table has links for 11 images.  There are two different images for each opening available on the Archives, one with a .jpg extension and the other with a .PNG extension.  10 images have been uploaded at each extension (image 11 doesn't exist with either extension as of right now).  However, Bulbapedia thinks images 3-10 on .jpg (example:  .jpg 5 on Bulbapedia vs. [[a:Image:OP05.jpg|same on Archives]]) and 8-10 on .PNG (example:  .PNG 9 on Bulbapedia vs. [[a:Image:OP09.PNG|same on Archives]]) do not exist.  This could cause a problem for image uploaders, which could mean their work might never be seen on Bulbapedia despite being uploaded.
Is it possible to check into this issue and possibly see a fix?  Thanks.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== Italian Pokémon Wiki ==
Hi!
I'm a staff memeber from the Italian Pokémon Community "Pokémon Central", ([http://www.pcentral.biz/forum])
I just wanted to let you know that we started an italian Wiki about Pokémon, after some plannig over the past few weeks. We started the wiki about 2 weeks ago ([http://www.pcentral.eu/wiki]), we're in Beta and we just started adding contents supported by the community. :)
This wiki will be mainly community-driven just like Bulbapedia :), and as you can see from the forum, it is pretty well populated and active :)
I sent an email to an admin but i never got answer :\ Telling that we were going to make some templates based on your ones.. Our license is also CreativeCommons, noncommercial (we put some adsense in the site, just to keep up with the hosting costs), ShareAlike, and we alway give credit to your original work. :)
Maybe when we will be big enough, you could include us in the Enciclopaedia Pokémonis ... we are already putting interwiki links to EP wikis.. what do you think?
Thank you, please reply ;)
