User talk:Jdogno4

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Jdogno4!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

• For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
• Read over the style primer before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the manual of style.
• Keep an eye on the Messages from the Editor on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
• The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
• The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital B. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
• The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
• On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
• The use of link templates is official policy.
• If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
• A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
• For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
• Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
• If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Jdogno4/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
• Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
• A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 04:03, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Please...

Your addition to Harley was large and informative (as far as I can tell; I don't keep up with anything pertaining to the anime), but you need to work on the quality of your writing. Please read over the manual of style and look at the edits I made to your edit to get a better idea of what you should be doing differently. Specifically, it's Pokémon, not pokemon; capital P and e-acute. Thank you for you contribution! --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 04:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

And don't put it in a word document or put episode titles in quotes (ie, not "Pokémon - I Choose You!", but instead linked as Pokémon - I Choose You!). By putting it into a word document, you made those really annoying slanty quotation marks and apostrophes, rather than normal ones. Hell, it looks like it's some essay you typed up then decided to crosspost here. I do admire that, but next time, please try to break it into sections on the page.

Don't forget to put italics around episode titles when you link to them. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 01:07, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Link templates

Please use the link templates when linking to articles about Pokémon, moves, abilities, types and many other Pokémon-related meta. --PAK Man ^Talk 06:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Editing

Before you start editing again, could you please take the time to read the Bulbapedia:Manual of style? You need to link to episodes and not just put the title.

• An Old Family Blend! = No
• ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' = Yes

Thanks. --ケンジのガール 07:31, 1 May 2011 (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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --Masatoshi_talk 08:03, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Once again, use the preview key when making multiple edits. It's great that you're helping expand pages with more detailed background, but try to consolidate your edits. --rockersk08 01:53, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Linking

Hey, when linking to a specially named page, please use the respective link template instead of regular [[ ]] brackets. For example, {{p| }} will link to "_____ (Pokémon)" which is used for species articles. Thanks. ^★Jo the Marten^★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 07:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Edit warring

It's best not to edit war. Especially when more than one admin is undoing your edits. Please remember this for the future and discuss things on the talk page first. Thank you. --ケンジのガール 09:25, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Edits

The edits that you have made were pointless. Unless it effects how it looks on your screen, do specify that, it avoids confusion.--ForceFire 13:28, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit warring... again

If you have a problem, next time consult the talk page instead of repeatedly reverting people. As for Harley, he hardly qualifies as a villain when compared to the actions of real villains.

Because of your edit warring, you have been blocked for two days. When you come back, lease remember that when an admin reverts your edit, it is probably for a good reason. Thank you. --ケンジのガール 08:38, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
