Pokémon names

Whenever you are talking about more than one of the same species of Pokémon, do not put an "s" on the end. All are just the name. ^Maverick_Nate 23:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

AG114

Don't copy synopses from other sites, such as from here. They have copyrighted it and, in any other case, copying from other sites is not good in any situation. If you want to put a synopsis there, make your own. Thanks! |>|-|1|23 •57R1K3 23:39, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Also, don't put a link to the synopsis either. It looked bad on the page and an original synopsis is much better. It is not hard to write an original one. Check out the ones I've written, listed on my userpage as an example. --rockersk08 00:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

When creating new pages...

1. Categorize/stub them.

2. Use proper grammar/spelling to the best of your ability.

3. See if the page is notable enough and not already created. You can add to another page if it's similar, but not on that page.

That's it. ^ht14 01:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Linking to games

Writing DPPt is bad. Using link templates is good. Read them. Learn them. Use them. Link to the actual articles instead of using ugly redirect pages. — THE TROM — 02:54, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Multiple edits

Please, preview before saving. We don't like having Recent Changes cluttered with one person repeatedly editing one page. --Galladeon 22:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Your Project

All project proposal must go first to the higher-ups or to our EIC, TTE. You don't just create it and then becomes the Project Leader. It follows certain process, sorry. Thanks, Kevzo8 15:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi

I noticed you have been editing the User: namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 22:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Hold on!

If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the User: namespace too much for now. Please do not edit your page any more for now. Thank you. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 23:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Making new pages

That. Was. A. Total. Fail. Not only did you not categorize it, but you got the project tag wrong too. On top of that, it would be nice if we could have some content in the article. Coz, you know, it's an encyclopedia and all. — THE TROM — 01:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
