Ket!  Can you maybe be a little more serious and sincere in your articles?  I've gotta go through and fix all of your sarcasm.  We are an encyclopedia, y'know...

Just testing...
It's nice and all that you're trimming the trivia that we don't need, but could you not use such vulgar language? We are a children's site and a good majority of users and viewers might make up that demographic, so could you refrain from it please? Thank you. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''P S Y'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 00:50, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, there are many differences between Sanshrew and Ekans, and in turn Sandslash and Arbok, and they aren't counterparts to the degree that, say, Zangoose and Seviper are. But unlike your over-the-top-ridiculous comparison between Chinchou and Wingull, it's made fairly obvious that Sandshrew and Ekans filled identical roles in opposing games, at least for the first two generations.

C'mon, Ket, seriously, it's good to have fun and all, but this gets presented, and stuff like that looks bad.  If you wanna talk to me on AIM about it, feel free.

The comment you made [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&curid=141849&diff=1503911&oldid=1503138&rcid=1605491 here] goes against our {{bp|Code of Conduct}}. Particularly under the section "Writing on talk pages in five words". I know it can be irritating when users ask about the trivia ban but it is are still legitimate questions and the users who ask them deserve to be spoken to with respect. Please mind what you say around other users.

Ket, you've made some great articles. GOod information, good format. I'm pretty sure al lthat sarcasm and fun you've been having with the articles has been weeded out. As far as I can see, you've got some clean articles. Oh by the way. Hello. I doubt we've met before. ~ Tyger
