''Don't'' question my existence. Anyway, forum the debate. I was just happy that Obama won. I'm proud that America was able to move beyond the hatred of the past to do so, and for such an awesome guy too.

Plus I get to brag now because CHICAGO RUNS THE WORLD NOW.

== Users from <Insert random place> ==

There's a few users using {{template|User Country}} for places that are rather... Random. Examples include, "the depths of", "Outer Space", as well as a few towns/cities (Including some plainly using the template without a location). Would you like me to edit the userpages with these... Oddities by <code>subst</code>ing the templates, then removing the categories? Or should we just leave them to appear in the Wanted Categories? - [[User:Kogoro|<span style="color:#DA70D6;">'''Kogoro'''</span>]] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''Talk to me'''</span>]] '''|''' 06:46, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
:Hmmm... well, yeah, I guess it'd be a good idea. As for those who aren't from anywhere... I dunno. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
::Well, could the template get an edit so that if nothing is placed in the <nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki> variable, the category portion of the template won't activate? - [[User:Kogoro|<span style="color:#DA70D6;">'''Kogoro'''</span>]] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''Talk to me'''</span>]] '''|''' 06:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

::::Surprisingly enough, it wasn't. I '''think''' I was able to get one to work, but I'm not 100% sure.

== Warnings ==

Can you get a warning for doing nothing wrong?

On the 28th July DCM gave me a warning for editing the userspace too much, even though I had only made '''3''' edits. Today I made my first error on the Userspace Policy as in my timezone I was editing in 2 different days, but according to the BP clock it was the same day. I immediately reported this to an Admin, as it was an accident, then {{u|Maverick Nate}} decided to give me a warning citing it as my 2nd. While I find this harsh, technically he is right, as I did break the rule but only by accident, so I shall have to accept that warning, but as my first warning. He insists it should remain my 2nd warning, even though I have clearly highlighted to him that today is the first time I have broken the policy. DCM made a mistake when he gave me that warning, it was by accident, and he meant no harm, he thought it was 4, but when recounting it was only 3, therefore surely the warning he gave me shouldnt count as it was given out of error. --[[User:Guardian|<font color="#0000FF">Guardian</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Guardian|<font color="#FFFF00"> of</font>]][[User talk:Guardian|<font color="#FF0000"> Earth</font>]] |[[GSDS|<font color="#00FF00">SGMS 2010</font>]]
:Eh, the fact that it'd been almost half a year since your last warning... I'd say you're fine. Really, the warning elevation is for users who do it frequently, while you seem to get that there's a limit.

::This looks a lot like [[:wikipedia:forumshopping]]. You should at least say that you've previously appealed at [[User talk:Maverick Nate#The Warning]], rather than hoping that he wouldn't look at it.
::Anyway, you've made no mainspace edits this month, and only four mainspace talk edits, three of them on a fan article (GS remakes). The purpose of the rule was to encourage people to improve Bulbapedia and not use this site as a social networking site. This isn't a legal court system, and the admins can use discretion when enforcing the ''spirit'' of the law as opposed to the ''word'' of the law. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 21:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

== Basic energy ==

Basic energies have undergone quite a few art changes over the years, I think I have a good majority of energy cards in each artistic change. The articles for basic energies are very tiny stubs, but should I scan & add galleries to them to display the art changes, despite the size of the articles? - [[User:Kogoro|<span style="color:#DA70D6;">'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>'''</span>]] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>'''</span>]] '''|''' 08:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Aim Buddies ==

I added ttfutureechidna to my buddy list, I was wondering if you'd add maxieguardian to yours, so we can be friends and just chat about stuff, I think the political argument got us on a bad start, im hoping we can be friends? --[[User:Guardian|<font color="#0000FF">Guardian</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Guardian|<font color="#FFFF00"> of</font>]][[User talk:Guardian|<font color="#FF0000"> Earth</font>]] |[[GSDS|<font color="#00FF00">SGMS 2010</font>]]

:::::::::No, really. Kuki's nuts, but I doubt he did it. Though after pretty much begging everyone and their mother to be let back on Bulbapedia after a lengthened block due to sockpuppeting, attempting to pose as another user in order to get them banned for longer, and then now once more doing so... poorly... off of Bulbapedia, while his mother's screaming about Asperger's and how she can't control him due to it, I and the rest of the admins have pretty much had it with him.

:::Not right now, no.  BulbaBot messed with TTEchidna's schedule, which called for the initial probation block to expire early morning of the 16th, to expire at noon UTC today.  In fact, BulbaBot started its rampage six minutes after the action that got Maverick Nate put on probation to begin with.

:::What I'd really like to know, however, is how BulbaBot managed to block Tavisource for 400 years the third time BulbaBot blocked that user.

:::::BulbaBot doesn't have the powers necessary to mess with user rights.  The last time user rights were tweaked was when TTEchidna put Maverick Nate on probation for an unfair block on Kuki.  BulbaBot didn't tweak anyone's user rights.

:::::Anyway, it appears that ultra-long expiry times really are valid now, and BulbaBot took advantage of that with Tavisource.  I tested it with my user page, setting a protection timer for one minute short of UTC New Year in 10000, and the time was seen as valid.

<small>(resetting indent)</small> One thing I'd like to note, for the benefit of anyone who didn't know, is that blocked users can't edit pages, but they can still log in, view pages, and if they have special rights, then they can use those abilities freely as well. So yes, while you can block a sysop, they can just unblock themselves as long as they still have sysop rights. Blocking a sysop is nothing more then a nuisance, since they have to unblock themselves before they can edit. (it is pretty annoying though, I'll say that from previous experience.) --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 20:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
:And this was a lesson to all about it. Anyway, here's the truth: ''I am BulbaBot''. Zhen let me take control of it to mess with you guys and freak you out, and this time I was attempting to out Kuki as being the one who made the email from Nate saying "I hate you so very much, I will block u for until January 30, 2023".
:Why did I do it? A test, perhaps. Response time was quite efficient, proving we don't need to continue the nominations for administratorship for the time being. Maybe next April around the time Platinum comes out here, since we get a huge influx of new users around then.
:Whatever the case, though, it backfired. And now Kuki's whining about his assburgers ''again'', like DaxFlame, while his mom's setting up new anti-Bulbapedia facebook groups because he won't GET OFF THE COMPUTER. And I'm not afraid to show my bias against nooby users here. Stop thinking that Bulbapedia's some big friend group. That's the ''forums''. Go ''there''. Don't IM me about random crap. '''''I have 100+ people on my list, I don't need anymore.''''' Don't talk page vandalism, for the last time, CONTACT VIA AIM, MSN, OR WHATEVER.
:Anyway. Things will go back to the way they were beforehand. Nate didn't do anything wrong because we all pretty much agreed that blocking Kuki until that date would be hilarious, and then I'd "reprimand" him just to see what Kuki's reaction would be.
:Optimatum had it right when he said Bulbapedia's run by an asshole madman. That's me! But only when I need to be. So to everyone, sorry for the lose, but guess whaaaaaat.

Near the top of the page you'll see ''Redirected from <Pokémon name>''.  Click on that and it will take you to the page with an arrow pointing to the Pokémon's name.

== Party tables ==

I've noticed a few pages using the wrong generation body template now.. Notably the frontier brains with set Pokémon: [[Roulette Goddess Dahlia]], [[Tower Tycoon Palmer]] and [[Castle Butler Kokuran and Cattleya]].
So I'm thinking, maybe the templates are a little tricky to understand without a [[User:Gywall/PartyTemplate|guide of some sort]]?
:Actually.. while writing this. I found a few more. [[Cynthia]] is using the Generation II template. [[Roxanne]] has two generations.

==Pokemon World Article==
The Pokemon World in Relation to the Real World article has been updated by me. I added Orre and Almia.

== Name change request ==

For quite a while I've been wanting to have my username here changed from ''Woopert'' to ''Quagbert'', mainly because I've found the former is too easily confused with {{p2|Wooper|the Pokémon's name}}. I'd really appreciate if you could, even more so if you could rename my Bulbanews and Archives accounts as well. [[User:Woopert|Quagbert]] 04:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:Hoo boy, this is gonna be complicated... I've heard from others that you've already been making pages under the name of Quagbert? We'll have to get those in line first, but afterward I'd be glad to.

::That was back in February when I foolishly tried to change it myself, but I've since moved them all back under ''Woopert''. [[User:Woopert|Quagbert]] 05:02, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:::All righty then... I'll tell you on your talk page to relink the three accounts on PAN as soon as I finish. SO. For now, PLZ to be not doing anything. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:03, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Like Arceus... ==

Maybe we can do the same template as {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Unown}} for {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Burmy}}/{{p|Wormadam}}....this also includes the typing and etc. (obviously doesn't include Unown for this).

== Bulbabot ==

Hey there, TTE. Something's wrong with [[User:BulbaBot|BulbaBot]]; he's left a mess on a user subpage of mine. And it's not even in binary! As Zhen Lin's gone, I've come to you (it says see ZL on his UP). I also don't like talking to bots, so please pass on my regards:
* I have no problem with the disambiguation pages. They are necessary when dealing with quantities of information with the same name.
* I like the link templates. I'm even learning how to use them.
* Don't treat me like I'm an idiot because I'm not like you.
* I have LURKED. I've LURKED here for a long time. And now I'm CONTRIBUTING. Well, trying to. I'm still learning, yes, so give me a break.
* There are admins without userpages and you aren't complaining about their redlinks.
* The biggest problem I've had with this site is the attitudes. Talk pages are for talking, not yelling and scaring people away. I'm not the only person who thinks this, as [[User_talk:The_dark_lord_trombonator/Bulbapedia:Assume_Good_Faith|the discussion here]] suggests.
* I'm also not the only person who thinks the admin system needs a rehaul. There are far too many people that vote "oh, he writes stuff, so he should be admin". That should never be a reason, these privileges need to be handed out to people who will use them wisely. Blocking and unblocking users, etc, has nothing to do with being a good contributor.
* All my edits were in my best judgement.
* I'm only 18 myself. And I have never edited {{wp|Bill Gates}}.
* {{wp|Nineteen Eighty-Four}} is one of the true masterpieces of twentieth century literature. But don't hold that against me.

:BulbaBot's evil, you have to know that one. Anyway, that welcome was a sarcastic response welcome to your own sarcastic one, not towards you personally, but to all the dumbasses who come here and think that the rules don't apply because they never read them. I agree that the nominating system needs a makeover, which is part of the reason I'll be closing it at the end of the month.
:Seriously, though, sarcasm begets sarcasm. That was my take on what the welcome could be and just the same a response to yours. Soooooo, yeah. It's not that I think it was stupid (it's a spun look at us, I'll give you that), it's that I respond from the other side.

::Haha, yeah, I'd picked up a bit of hostility towards the Bot around here. I appreciate your remarks though, but next time I'd appreciate a quiet word in the ear rather than making it look like I'd written something like that. (I'm aware it was signed, but it was on my page. And also if you want to talk feel free to use your own account :D you'll give BB a bad name). I may have some ideas for a revamped adminship system, so feel free to get back to me on that one (don't worry, I'm not importing from Wiki on this one. They're trying to change their system as well right now).

== Template protection ==

How should I request protection for a template?  I'm noticing more and more unprotected templates that are in use on hundreds of pages.&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Laoris|Laoris]]&nbsp;<sub>([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]])</sub> 07:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

::Ok, ones I can think of right now that could need protection are: Disambig, EpisodePrevNext, Tmdisambig and Tcgpkmndisambig (which incidentally both appear to be exact copies of disambig; maybe they should redirect?), Pdollar, DisambigPokémon, and BaseStats.  Several of these are redirects, and I don't know if any of these are being left unprotected for a good reason, but they are used in an awful lot of places.&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Laoris|Laoris]]&nbsp;<sub>([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]])</sub> 08:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
