::I do know that you are the editor-in-chief, and I was asking politely. Also, as the editor-in-chief, some other users will copy what you do with things like the minor edit flag, and it's pointless to have it if many people set it for every edit. Also, the name implies that it should be used for things like fixing spelling/grammar mistakes or wikicode syntax error fixing, not talk page replies. By the way, it may cause signifigant delays in getting replies from some users, like those with slow/unreliable internet, large watchlists or a slow web brower/computer.

:::I am well aware that some individuals may emulate some things that I do, however this is simply not an issue. As previously noted, we have no policy that defines what constitutes a minor or major edit so it is entirely up to the individual's choice whether to mark/unmark specific edits depending on whether they've chosen to automatically mark edits as minor. In my case, the vast majority of edits I make are either minor fixes, or work on building/reformatting templates, thus I have opted for automatic marking. I would highly suggest that users use the watchlist exclusively for pages that absolutely need to have their eye kept on, rather than automatically adding every single page they happen to edit. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:16, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

::::If I may add: typically, to me, a minor edit would be something like a spelling correction or a grammatical rearrangement, while a major edit would be adding new content to a page.  However, even if I intend to mark the flag, it's such an easy thing to miss while editing.  Also, other users may have a different criteria for what marks a major or minor edit, so it's useless to put a policy on it.  As for watchlist usage, every single page a user goes to edit gets added automatically if the user doesn't check those same checkboxes; my watchlist was over 700 at one point including a lot of indivudual Pokémon species pages when I helped update tables on a lot of them.  The only reason they didn't ALL get added was because others were also helping update information, so those already updated didn't get saved to my watchlist.  I realized later that I was getting alerts for every one I touched.  I've since started deleting some that I don't need to watch as I tend to look at Recent Changes now.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:17, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
== Update on Projects? ==
Curious the update on whether these projects are a go:
*Icons from [[de:Liste der Pokémon in Pokémon Shuffle]] - or if a different site was who you e-mailed, those instead - for our Shuffle list, to be template-shrunk into the image column rather than used at full size.
*For both Shuffle and Rumble World, template updating on the Pokémon pages, if those new templates are ready to use yet.  I'm up to Psychic in the Arceus hunt (5 more!) and my revelations are up to 704 seen, likely another that came to my courtyard since I haven't traveled elsewhere lately.
Standing by to aid both projects.  Also trying out getting the highest-quality minisprite images I can out of JPGs; do we have people here who are skilled at touching up images?  Even at PNGs, the images would be 24x24 and therefore not the best quality; that said, I've been comparing numerous JPG pictures of the same species and picking out all of the blurry ones, using the sharpest ones I can get.  If we can touch up the sharp ones at 48x48 (56x56 with the border, which I already made a solid colour), they might be usable quality.  I can put some in a single image and upload it elsewhere as examples before we use any here, or if we know a site already having them they might be worth getting permission for as with Shuffle.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:17, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
