User talk:Felthry

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Xolroc!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules: Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct. Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around. Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page. Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style. You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy. Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page. If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment. For more handy links, see the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   --ZestyCactus 04:08, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Archives edits

There are some TCG cards that need their summaries and categories updated. Simple stuff, keep Evolutions open as you go through each card image on the Archives (you can follow the links through the card's page or search through the Archives, every card follows the same format of "File:[Name of card]Evolutions[card #].jpg"). The summary should be changed to "[Name of card] (Evolutions [card #])" if it isn't already and "[[Category:Evolutions|(Card #)]]" should be directly above the category for Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary or XY-P Promotional cards. There needs to be three digits in the category, so put preceding zeroes if necessary. And if there's a line that says "From pokeca.net" in the summary, remove it. - unsigned comment from Glik (talk • contribs) 22:19, 6 January 2017

Are you sure about it being all of them? The Venasaur EX card is titled VenasaurEXXY1.jpg and has like five alternate images as well. I'll just skip that one for now. Xolroc (talk) 22:56, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

That's its first print, there's another one for the Evolutions print lower down the page in the gallery. glik^glak 23:03, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Forest's Curse

In addition to the rationale I gave in my edit summary, I also did a little digging and found this old edit which points out Trick-or-Treat can also result in an 8x weakness in Inverse Battles. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 17:26, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I forgot inverse battles exist. But yeah, good point. Xolroc (talk) 17:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

User talk pages

Hi. I just wanted to say, you may want to take a moment or two to acquaint yourself with our warning templates. If you want to inform a user about something covered by one of those templates, we ask that you use those templates (with "subst:"). They're generally intended to be neutral and informative (as well as uniform by their nature), as opposed to a hodge-podge of whatever each person can come up with when talking to another user. Thanks. Tiddlywinks (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that those exist! I shall try to use those in the future, apologies. Xolroc (talk) 18:55, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

For Your Freedom

Pumpkinking has been undoing my edits, so I went to him to talk to him, but you decided to answer mostly for him. I don't know how related you 2 are or if you are good friends, but just because he isn't available at the moment of things doesn't give you the right to act like his... well, I'm not gonna say it, as it will go against the Code of Conduct; let's just say Slave, or Servant. Please get word to Pumpkinking so he won't remove so much of my edits. I'm over why he removed my edits for Shuckle and Kommo-o, but my edits to the Alolan starters and Registeel were still removed for no general reason, and I would like to know why. - unsigned comment from Bulldogs1234869 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 16 January 2017

Please use the {{unsigned}} template if you forget to sign a post.

Pumpkinking has been undoing your edits because they are not in the correct place. You edited a few species pages to include information that belongs elsewhere (the fact that one Pokémon has the same BST as another is not notable). The Registeel edit being reverted is because, quite simply, it's not notable. It doesn't matter if it's technically the wrong arm for it, it's still considered offensive and that is why they changed it. Anything more than that and you're discussing history in a probably-excessively-pedantic manner, and this wiki is for information about Pokémon, not history.

Also, for my freedom? Really? I have freedom, that's why I made the edits I did instead of waiting for someone to tell me to. Xolroc (talk) 17:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Alright, fair enough about the Registeel sprite, but many people have argued about who is the best Alolan starter, and I thought that maybe a little trivia like that could help settle it out a bit. The starters of any region have never shared the same BST, so I rather find it interesting that it stands out over other starters. Finally, sorry about the whole thing about your freedom; I was just feeling really triggered. Bulldogs1234869 (talk) 18:33, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

It's alright. Please, try to understand that everyone here is doing what they can to improve the wiki. And I know that you were too; it's just that other users (including an administrator, who has final say in matters like this) have decided that those particular edits are not constructive. It's not any personal vendetta against you or anything, even if it may feel like it is at times. If an edit you make gets reverted, and you feel it shouldn't have been, I recommend you go to the article's talk page and ask about it. Other users can provide input, discuss whether to include it, and who knows, maybe you'll manage to convince people--or maybe they'll convince you that the edit should have been reverted. That's the nature of collaboration: trying to make something the best it can be, by getting input from everyone involved.

As for the starters' BSTs, I think that the fact that they have the same BST wouldn't do much to quell arguments over superiority. You could argue that Primarina's high special stats make them the best, or that Decidueye's speed gives it an advantage, or that one moveset is superior to another... People will find things to argue about, no matter what! Even without that, the fact that all three have the same BST is not unique, as Serperior, Emboar, and Samurott all have a BST of 528. Uniqueness is a notability criterion on this wiki; trivia should be "the only X" or "the most X" or similar, without resorting to overly specific trivia like "the only X that is Y and Z, before generation Q".

In conclusion, just keep trying to make the wiki better, and try to understand that everyone else is trying to make it better as well. One of the hardest and most important lessons to learn in life is that you are not infallible, that you can be wrong, and that it's perfectly fine to be wrong.

Burmy's Trash Cloak

Wording that sentance that way implies that Burmy should't retain its Trash Cloak when evolving but does anyway, which is not the case. That's why I removed it. Also just stating that it retains its present cloak should suffice. --Raltseye prata med mej 01:21, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I think it's important to mention the Trash Cloak in particular there, because otherwise, you're just stating a seemingly-unrelated fact about the Pokémon. Wormadam in general does not belong on the page, but Trash Cloak Wormadam does. --Felthry (talk) 01:29, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I guess the current wording makes sense. --Raltseye prata med mej 09:20, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry

I saw you corrected me. Sorry. Some how I misread "bind" as "bide". Upon seeing yout summary, I read it more carefully and found my mistake. Thanks for your help. RubyLeafGreenCrystal (talk) 22:49, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Hey, that's fine. Everyone makes mistakes; don't worry about it! --Felthry (talk) 03:09, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Help

I'd need someone to update/upload some TeX formulas on my behalf over the course of the weekend or so, would you be able to do that? Follow-up question, would you maybe help me out beyond that (provide opinion etc.)? Nescientist (talk) 16:29, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Sure, I can help with that. Just give me more details on what you need and I'll see what I can do! --Felthry (talk) 23:03, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
