Question

Hey Kogoro, sorry if this the wrong area but I see that this talk is more active than the one on Bulbagarden Archives. When I try to upload new scans for new TCG cards, it will not allow me to do so stating that I must be an autoconfirmed user or a confirmed user. Please help! Thanks, SirFinkleBottom 16:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Confirmed is an Archives-exclusive usergroup that executive staff can apply to uploaders who have been approved to upload Generation VI game images, but don't meet the requirements for Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed, on the other hand, is applied automatically when an account has reached a specific number of edits & has existed for a specific number of days. If you want a file uploaded to the Archives and do not have the permissions to do so, you can make an upload request on an active Archives staff member's talk page. Keep in mind, that we will require access to the image(s) (and approval from the person who originally digitized the image(s)) to upload them for you. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

500 edits/day milestone! :D

Hey! I'm currently writing my 501th edit on the wiki today.

I've earned the template, right? :3

My first edit was made on February 14 2016 17:58.

My last edit was made on February 15 2016 06:43.

Between these two edits, there was an elapsed time of 12:45.

:) MannedTooth (Talk) 06:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, no, you have not earned it. The edits must take place between 00:00 and 23:59 (UTC) in the same calendar day, which is noted right on the template page. As your edits take place between two calendar days, they are not eligible for the user tag. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Are you serious? What's the difference? It was under 24 hours, which is a day. I don't understand why such detail should be important. I'll let you know that not everyone has the same time, my day is alway split in half with the wiki's time because of the timezone, having a full day on the wiki would mean to do all my edits starting at 2am, which, not everyone can. With all due respect, this is plainly injust. We shouldn't be judged on our timezone, that's close to discrimination. MannedTooth (Talk) 07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
UTC is our server time, and all of our time-based institutions are measured on server time. Allowing users to base time-based institutions on their own time zones has caused far too many problems and arguments in the past, so we simply do not allow such anymore. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 07:48, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
I understand that, but tell me, what would have been different if I started editing 2 hours later? The outcome would have been the same, I would have contributed and been rewarded, so it would have been a win-win for everyone, but for now, I feel robbed of harsh hours of work throughout a whole day... You don't need the website to see wheter I did enough edits or not, do you? Just go on my contributions page, click show 500 and you'll see that it has been done in less than 24hours, it's not like it was a tight 23h and some minutes, I did it in under 13hours, that's worth being noticed, nah? Devoted contributors are rare, so you shouldn't be too picky if you want to keep them... :/ MannedTooth (Talk) 08:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
There'd have been no difference, cause you still wouldn't have made it to 500 within a single calendar day if you had started editing two hours earlier. If your most important reason for editing this wiki is to get a fancy user tag, you may need to reconsider your reasons for being here. I'm going to quote something from a former staff member that really rings true:
"This is not a race or a competition, if you reach 500 edits a day that's good for you but it doesn't really mean anything, as quality is what's really needed here rather than some mere numbers. Editing a wiki is a thankless job, but we do it for the good of the community."
Please try to keep that in mind. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 08:13, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
I said later... Anyway, you are right, I never intended to do it for the achievement, I just happened to edit and realized I was at 350 ao I figured I would finish the job I was doing and get it at the same time, anyway... I'm just really dissapointed, that's all... MannedTooth (Talk) 08:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Here, I achieved to take what I've done starting from 0:00 and edit until I've reached about 530 edits today. MannedTooth (Talk) 21:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
I apologize, the use of "earlier" was a typo from being distracted. Anyway, I can confirm that you have qualified to use the user tag. Congrats. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 02:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Help me identify these

Can you ?

[1]

I think the Pikachu comes from XY-P_Black_Star_Promos_(KTCG), but I am uncertain.

Is the mewtwo exclusive to the Korean sets? Thanks ! MannedTooth (Talk) 01:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

I only wanted to identify the card, not to upload it. :o MannedTooth (Talk) 02:15, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
