Preview Button

Use it please. It allows for multiple edits, but 1 save. Therefore, it puts less stress on the server. Thank you. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 20:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

You're using HTML though.

You used ">" and "<", which you can see if you edit the page are not the same as > and <. They generate the character, but it's like é vs é, a pain in the ass.

This is what you have

[[User:Alpha Totodile|<span style="color:#blue;">'''Alpha'''</span>]][[User talk:Alpha Totodile|<span style="color:green;">'''Totodile'''<span>]]<

This is what you SHOULD

You copied the HTML directly or screwed something up somehow. And I wish I knew how you did. TTEchidna 23:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Me, too... maybe it's because I'm using Safari? Anyway, thanks for helping me out. AlphaTotodile

OK, that Safari bit just sounded stupid. I most likely copied the HTML directly. AlphaTotodile 01:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Please

Don't remove a large amount of information without giving any reasons to why you did it in the edit summary box. And don't you think you edited Ash Ketchum enough already? Why don't you go do something else? --ケンジのガール 21:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying to push it into featured article status. You were the one that said the trivia section is too long anyway. AlphaTotodile

Well alright. Proceed. --ケンジのガール 22:09, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

And I'll remember to use the edit summary box. Thanks for understanding. AlphaTotodile

Signature Coding

Could you please consider changing the <span> in your user talk link to </span>. Leaving it as the former causes all text below it to become blue, whereas inserting the slash resets the text color for future comments. --Shiningpikablu252 23:23, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
