Preview Button

Use it please. It allows for multiple edits, but 1 save. Therefore, it puts less stress on the server. Thank you. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 20:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

You're using HTML though.

You used ">" and "<", which you can see if you edit the page are not the same as > and <. They generate the character, but it's like é vs é, a pain in the ass.

This is what you have

[[User:Alpha Totodile|<span style="color:#blue;">'''Alpha'''</span>]][[User talk:Alpha Totodile|<span style="color:green;">'''Totodile'''<span>]]<

This is what you SHOULD

AlphaTotodile

You copied the HTML directly or screwed something up somehow. And I wish I knew how you did. TTEchidna 23:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Me, too... maybe it's because I'm using Safari? Anyway, thanks for helping me out. AlphaTotodile

OK, that Safari bit just sounded stupid. I most likely copied the HTML directly. AlphaTotodile 01:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Please

Don't remove a large amount of information without giving any reasons to why you did it in the edit summary box. And don't you think you edited Ash Ketchum enough already? Why don't you go do something else? --ケンジのガール 21:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying to push it into featured article status. You were the one that said the trivia section is too long anyway. AlphaTotodile

Well alright. Proceed. --ケンジのガール 22:09, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

And I'll remember to use the edit summary box. Thanks for understanding. AlphaTotodile

Signature Coding

Could you please consider changing the <span> in your user talk link to </span>. Leaving it as the former causes all text below it to become blue, whereas inserting the slash resets the text color for future comments. --Shiningpikablu252 23:23, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

OK. Thanks. Alpha Totodile 23:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Userspace edits

When the Userspace policy says four edits per day, does that mean in UTC time? Or does that mean the time zone that I chose in my preferences? (Which in this case is CDT, or Central Time Zone in daylight saving time, -6 hours from UTC. Alpha Totodile 00:30, 12 April 2009 (UTC), 7:30 in CDT

It's UTC time, but the limit is now "reasonable and prudent", similar to old Montana speed limit laws. --Shiningpikablu252 00:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

TOTODILE

yo ok! my favorite pokemon is totodile, is it yours two? totoRulz 01:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

I like Feraligatr more, but Totodile is still one of my favorites. Since my Gold ran out of battery, I'm going to wait for GSDS rather than by another one on eBay. Alpha Totodile

ok? totoRulz 13:21, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I just like totodile more, I played colleseum so I got one! totoRulz 17:10, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

When you respond, try to double space the comments, OK? Not doing so makes it look like you're adding to the previous comment. Alpha Totodile 20:36, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

What did I just tell you about doing that? Double space the comments, please. EDIT: I'm sorry, I meant double space between comments. I'm confusing, aren't I? Alpha Totodile 20:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Please

Use the preview button because you keep making small edits over and over so use the preview button to prevent clogging the Recent Changes. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 02:02, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

OK... sigh. If this keeps up, I will never get the Golden Eevee... Alpha Totodile 02:06, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

If that's the only reason you're here, then, well... not to sound rude, but that's not good. Same with getting attention. The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 21:32, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, no, don't get me wrong, that's not just why I'm here. That's just my goal for now. When the month is over, I'll work on other things. No need to worry about that. I know perfectly well that it's bad if that's the only reason I'm here. Alpha Totodile 22:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Good, I've seen some people go to tons of places for just those reasons. Glad that's not why you're here. The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 01:58, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Me, too. Glad you understand. Expect me to stick around for a long time. Besides, what n00b doesn't want the Golden Eevee? And I think it will be a while before I can earn the admins' respect Alpha Totodile 12:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
