Scizor and Scissor

I don't think that would be notable considering the similar pronunciation between the two.--ForceFire 12:08, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Multi-strike moves

Can you do the categories too please? Thanks for your help in getting the correct terminology in use. --SnorlaxMonster 07:49, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Independent events

Each hit of a multi-strike move is independently affected by the King's Rock/Razor Fang. Using your logic of (number of trials)*(probability of a single event)=(combined probability), if I were to flip two coins, there would be a 100% chance of flipping a heads, as there are 2 events and a 50% chance of heads in each trial. This is explained in further detail on Wikipedia: Independence (probability theory). The actual probability is 75% chance of heads:

Pr(H1∩H2)=Pr(H1)+Pr(H2)-Pr(H1∪H2)

Pr(H1∩H2)=Pr(H1)+Pr(H2)-(Pr(H1)×Pr(H2))

Pr(H1∩H2)=0.5+0.5-(0.5×0.5)

Pr(H1∩H2)=0.75 --SnorlaxMonster 06:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hello, I wanted to talk to you about your recent edit summaries. A summary like this is acceptable, but this one is a bit over the line. No user has been targeted directly, yes, but it is still offensive for the user who originally wrote it. I appreciate your help and effort in improving Bulbapedia's articles, but please try to be a bit more polite with the users. It is not a warning, but a kind request to you. It will leave a good impression on our users and it'll encourage them to contribute even more efficiently. I hope you can understand, have a nice day ahead.

I understand, it just bothers me so much that we have to resort to such writing because no one else bothers to do it. I know that these summaries are basically mini-rants of mine and provide no real explanation for the edit itself (other than the obvious correction of aforementioned atrocious writing). I wasn't planning on doing any more rant summaries, but I'll make sure it never happens again. Sorry, and thanks for doing the right thing the right way. --IWannaBeTheVeryBest (talk) 05:55, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
