User talk:Hyliad

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Hyliad!

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!   → PikaTepig999 03:13, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --PattyMan 00:03, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

It's a Hard Life

I went through and proofread It's a Hard Life for you, and I wanted to give you a couple pointers. I don't mean this is a rude way; I'm just trying to help you in the future. First of all, you might want to run your writing through a spell check program. There were quite a few typos, such as nammed instead of named and relucantly instead of reluctantly. It wouldn't hurt to make the page in your userspace first (at User:Hyliad/It's a Hard Life), and then let other people help edit it before it's mainspaced to cut down on grammar mistakes. Also, the plural of Pokémon is Pokémon, not Pokémons. And Poké Ball is two words, not one. Also, I would highly advise you to look at the list of link templates. For example, instead of typing [[Nidorina (Pokémon)|Nidorina]], you shoud be typing {{p|Nidorina}}, and instead of [[Water Gun (move)|Water Gun]], you should put {{m|Water Gun}}.

Also, to be perfectly honest, I really think you should just cut down the content on the page. If you look at Pokémon-X (webcomic) and Super Effective (webcomic), they are much more concise. You might want to use them as examples of what to change. Notice how short their plot is, whereas the article for It's a Hard Life goes into detail for every chapter? I would have done it myself, but you seem to have read the comic and so I think you could summarize it better.

If you want to look at the changes I did so you can get a little bit of an idea of small things you could change (e.g. link templates, grammar and spelling changes), you can see my edits here and here.

I don't want to push you away from editing and creating new pages; on the contrary, I think you could be a pretty good editor here. I just wanted to give you some helpful pointers. slimey01 16:35, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
