== Oopsy... ==
I did it again, I still forget about my grammar problems... Sorry. [[User:Luigitehplumber|Luigitehplumber]] ([[User talk:Luigitehplumber|talk]]) 23:10, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

== Request ==

While you were inactive for several days recently, I wrote a synopsis for [[SS010]] and completed the incomplete manga description of [[Pokémon Village]]. Feel free to check those if you haven't already. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

:I'll see what I can do. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:46, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
::Have you checked either of those yet? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:24, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
::Not yet. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:26, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
:::[[XY133]] and [[XY134]]'s synopsises contain unnecessary and excessive repeated links. I tried to edit the former, but due to a misclick, I accidentally undid all of my unsaved edits there, and really don't feel like doing it again. Could you help? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:32, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
::::Good to have you back after several days of absence. Are you willing to help me in my aforementioned request? Also, may I ask for the reason behind your absence? Real life taking priority, I assume? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:25, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
:::::Too much happening right now. Won't be able to do what you ask me to do. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:25, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
::::::Okay. Let's wait until things settle down. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:53, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

== Removing signatures ==

Please do not just [[Special:Diff/3107487|remove other users' signatures]] for no reason and replace them with the unsigned template. If the user signed when the comment was submitted (or a trivially short time afterwards), it should remain. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:15, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
:I have reason to believe {{user|DarkDan}} is manually creating those new signatures, hence why I removed them and replaced them with the unsigned template. Compare the signatures in the last two talk page sections [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Advanced_Generation_series&oldid=3107269 here]. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:13, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
::Even if you suspect that a user might be manually creating signatures, as long as the timestamps are correct they're valid signatures, so you shouldn't remove them. Of course, you seem to have jumped to the conclusion that the user was manually creating signatures because they changed their signature once, rather than the more obvious conclusion that between the two comments they changed their signature.
::But again, even if you had suspected that the user was manually creating their signature, replacing every instance of their signature with {{template|unsigned}} was grossly inappropriate, especially since doing so is not even against the rules (whereas removing their signatures was). The user could easily have interpreted your edits are targeted harassment.
::Furthermore, per the {{bp|talk page policy}}, please keep discussions on a single page, rather than replying on my talk page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:34, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

== Istiyaq ==

Hey there. I get you're only trying to help, but you should leave issues regarding possible sockpuppetry to staff members. There's no need for you to interrogate the user.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 12:25, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

== Warning etiquette  ==

Hey GrammarFreak. While it is completely fine to warn users for minor offenses in an attempt to get them back on the right track, I please urge you to refresh yourself with our {{bp|warning policy}}. Please note per the policy that users shouldn't give out warnings for major offenses, such as sockpuppeting, especially if a {{bp|staff|staff member}} has already addressed them. There have been several instances where you have interjected yourself into disciplinary discussions between a user and staff members, which can be deemed inappropriate and overstepping one's authority. It is also unfair and confusing to the user on the receiving end, because there have been instances where you have not been completely correct while trying to enforce rules/policies. Please do not continue to jump in to reprimand users while staff are already addressing a situation. Continuing this behavior could lead to blocks for insubordination. If you have any questions about this, please reach out to myself or another Editorial Board member. Thank you.

== Champion ==

Lance was still mentioned as the Indigo league champion in the preview of SS012. The trivia mentions he lost his championship somewhere in the middle of the anime, is it right?
Please answer quickly!! --[[User:Dhiwakar|Dhiwakar]] ([[User talk:Dhiwakar|talk]]) 14:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
:Sorry about that, Lance was mentioned as the member of the Kanto Elite four by Go in the preview of SS012. Thank you [[User:Dhiwakar|Dhiwakar]] ([[User talk:Dhiwakar|talk]]) 14:21, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
