User talk:Ethan brendan lucas

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Ethan brendan lucas! Here are a few links to help you get started:

Manual of Style The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format of all pages on Bulbapedia. Need a hand? Our friendly team of staff are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with Bulbapedia.

Signatures On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), or by using the "Your signature with a timestamp" () button at the top of the edit window. Userspace Policy On Bulbapedia, the ability to edit personal userpages is a privilege. Per our userpage policy, this must be earned by first making constructive edits to the mainspace. Once you can, remember to keep userspace edits (edits to User:Ethan brendan lucas) to a minimum. For a complete list of policies and editing advice, please see the Welcome Portal.  Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   Werdnae (talk) 20:05, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Signature

Signatures are for the Talk spaces only. Please don't put your signature into mainspace articles. Please also read the Manual of Style. Thanks. Werdnae (talk) 20:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk Page Comments

Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's talk page policy. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --Werdnae (talk) 20:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Please stop

Adding incorrect information is considered vandalism. Ivysaur has always evolved from Bulbasaur at level 16, not level 18. Jupiter's Skuntank is at level 60 in the final battle with her, just like Mars's Purugly. I'm watching you, man. Don't try any funny business. TTEchidna 09:47, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Userspace limits

Hi. I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's Userspace policy restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --Psy_ライダー☮ 14:37, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Stop

Quit spamming peoples talk pages please.--Pokélova! 19:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? :( Ethan brendan lucas 21:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Repeatedly editing a talk page over and over again. If you notice a mistake, edit the whole page to delete extra sections added, rather than editing each section individually. Some users get an email every time their talk page is edited, and they get very annoyed when a single user floods their inbox. Also, if you are constantly editing the page, it is impossible for them to repy, as they continually get edit conflicts. If you ask a user a question, edit their page once and once only unless the mistake is a major one. Also remember that not every user will be on all the time, it may take several hour for the user to notice if they are offline. In the case of the Pokémon, you'll notice that they are always next to the archives links. That is what they are for - archiving.

Also, I have noticed that you have edited talk pages a lot, and that so far, every single mainspace edit you have made has been completely against the Manual of style, or has been blatantly wrong, and/or you have immediately reverted it yourself. It would be appreciated if you contribute constructively to the mainspace or you may face a short block. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia. Focus is on the mainspace content, not the fun pages that certain users have lurking in their userspace. If you would rather just discuss things and talk to people, then you should go to the forums.

Blocked

Listen next time. Making eight edits to a user's talk page in two minutes is not acceptable. Secondly, just because you are homophobic doesn't mean that everyone else has to be too. Bulbapedia is an equal opportunities place, where people of all sexual orientations are treated equally, and you have absolutely no right to force someone to not say they are homosexual. As a result of those two issues, have a break. When you return in a month, please make constructive edits to the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, and users are expected to attempt to improve it as they make edits, not just bug other people. Werdnae (talk) 19:26, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Preview button

Please use the preview button when editing so that you don't make excessive edits to a page. Thank you.--Cold (talk) 14:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure.--Ethan brendan lucas 14:11, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Preview button

Just because you're editing a page for an entry into the Xmas contest, does not, and I repeat does not allow you to ignore the preview button. Those edits were only 2 or 3 minutes apart. Use the preview button next time, please. —♥ Jello^talk 01:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
