::See, I'm pointing it out. Making articles for bragging rights, to say "yay I'm the first revision" is dumb. When I made the Sinnoh Dex, I made it to compile the information we knew. I look back at it and say, "hey, that was pretty good for what we knew then", four years ago. The problem is, lately, people just make the pages so that there's something there, even if we know nothing. Heck, if that article were made by a new user today, it'd likely be at "shino dex numbers" and say "lucario is in the shinoh dex" and have a "THIS IS UNFINISHED" notice at the top. | ::See, I'm pointing it out.

::My behavior should indeed be exemplary. Which is why I point everyone to my first few contribs. Were they awesome? Of course they weren't. They suck compared to the templates and pages I make today. But they prove that all you need to do is learn the style before you do something dumb, and draw from other pages made before. Plus, hey, Zhen and Pie thought my first template ''sucked''. It was too huge. Now, you're new. Go out and make some awesome edits in areas we need it. If you have a Gen III game, play through it, Hoenn's where we're really lacking in good information.

:::Regardless, even if you were joking, in the context of the news post it sounds like you are bragging. The rest of the content of the news post, the fact that I am new, and the fact that people have made bad edits in the past are irrelevant.[[User:Ultimara6|Ultimara6]] 04:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC) | :::Regardless, even if you were joking, in the context of the news post it sounds like you are bragging.

::::Haha. That actually has everything to do with it. It wouldn't sound out of context if you knew anything about TTE's personality. There's one of two things that most newer users normally don't understand: they either think that they can add their opinion to pages as fact and then use talk pages as a forum, ''or'' they think that this has to be formal all the time, every second, for every single little thing. | |||
::::It doesn't have to be. If it was, then nothing would get done around here. There would only be the administrators and a few users editing. Yeah, most new users just join to have an account to say that they're part of the Pedia and they never edit, but there are a bunch of them that do actually help. We've had to be more strict than normal the past few months or so, maybe even half year, because of the hype of HGSS and the other games (not to mention [[M12]]). Even then, we're still not all that strict, as long as people follow the rules. | |||
::::And really, you being new does have something to do with this. Instead of trying to point out a fault that doesn't exist, try editing something other than a talk page. We'll sometimes have users join just to complain about things on the talk page and never actually contribute, and I really hope that you won't be one of them.
