Feebas and Magikarp

Replied on my talk page; any further discussion will be posted there. If you choose to post more there, I assume you will check it for my response and will not issue further notification. Thanks. — THE TROM — 02:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm still getting used to signing and other necessities to Wiki contribution, so I apologize if I don't always remember/know things.

Secondly, I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference, as far as Pokemon-to-Pokemon comparisons. I did feel it needed to be brought up because there is not a single reference to its similarities to Magikarp in the entire article, save they have the same species type and level-up moves.

Talk Page Comments

Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former had erased and was trying to keep erased. That user ended up blocked and subsequently had every erased comment restored. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 03:45, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Well it's my talk page, and there wasn't even a discussion taking place. It didn't seem like a big deal to delete something that had no purpose, since it was basically a private message stating to look somewhere else. Redstar 03:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Unrelated. You leave it there no matter what. Unless it is spam, and that isn't. ^ht14 03:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Well I'm just going to say that that's bullshit. Redstar 03:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Site's rules. >_>--☆Coolピカチュウ! 03:54, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Show me that particular rule that dictates private talk pages. Redstar 03:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

This'll do for now. Dispute resolution. Also, talk to admins if you disagree. ^ht14 04:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

It's here.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 04:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Good catch. Mine didn't make sense, but it was close...somewhat... ^ht14 04:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Clearly I can use those rules to my benefit, since I view your comments as an attack on me. I have no idea why either of you are watching my personal talk page out of the thousands of contributors and articles on this site, nor do I feel these comments constitute as "the article itself", IE: my talk page. No, they are about the "subject of the article", IE: the comments posted on my talk page.

Because of your help in notifying me of the rules that show why I'm free to clean my talk page of this unnecessary clutter I'll be sure to delete them in due time, without further complaints. Redstar 04:19, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

At least use the colons (:)... ^ht14 04:21, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, you can archive it. Then, just link to it...don't know if it'll help. Just click move. Move to an archive. Done, the new talk page only links to archive. ^ht14 04:24, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean by "use colons", though I'm sure I'll figure it out.

On a side note, I believe I'll leave my Talk page as is, since this was really quite fun and I wouldn't mind other people seeing me act like a douchebag. Thanks for playing it cool, both of you. :D Redstar 04:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Parsers...

It's not size...use px for the images. Otherwise, it will be too large. ^ht14 04:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Redstar 04:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

You wrote size=130. Probably not you though. Never mind. ^ht14 04:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

No, I didn't write anything... You're probably referring to my changes on either the Lugia or Ho-Oh pages, in which case I only reverted. Redstar 04:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

That's why I said never mind... ^ht14 04:41, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, and I just clarified that. :P Redstar 04:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

FYI

Don't resign over the unsigned message. You'll put the wrong time in there. Just leave it be; forgetting is no major deal unless you do it every time. — THE TROM — 05:01, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Dude. Mind your own business. One little profile on one giant Wiki out of hundreds of equally large Wikis is no concern of yours, thanks. Redstar 08:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

TROM is an admin, as am I, so it actually is his concern. Now, he's telling you this because you're not supposed to replace {{unsigned}} with your signature, and it would be best if you listen to his message instead of blowing it off. The time-stamp is important, so just don't replace it with your signature if you had forgotten to sign when you made the comment. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 09:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not ignorant. I know perfectly well that TROM is an admin, and I'm choosing to disregard him. Being an administrator is no excuse to micromanage. Redstar 09:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Disregarding warnings from an administrator is a great way to earn yourself blocks. I would suggest you reconsider your choice. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 09:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not disregarding warnings from an admin, I'm threatening to disregard warnings from an admin in the future. Feel free to block me in case I do so, but for now a threat is just words. Get over it. Redstar 09:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm over it. See you in a day. Take this time to have a chill pill, come back and be a constructive part of the community. — THE TROM — 09:34, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

The Humans article

If you want to make it, go for it--even if it starts as a stub, people will add to it. And it'll be good! And interesting. -- evkl _{(need to talk?)} 01:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Since you asked

I like to answer. The amount of "On the forums" people keep saying is getting really annoying to me. I think that Mewtwo rumor was just a rumor, and was later proven false. However, if I'm wrong, we will know soon enough when the games come out. ^Maverick_Nate 01:16, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Uhhh, sorry, wrong person. Forget this ever happened. =p ^Maverick_Nate 01:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring

Never, ever, ever, revert a revert. That's edit-warring. Even if you're right. The appropriate thing to do is turn to an admin for a ruling. --electAbuzzzz 14:09, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

So, being an admin, what's your ruling? There are fansprites of the Nido's (at the least) here, here and here, so there are fakes. --Oz ^{(The Wizard at Work!)} 14:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm in Oz's favor on this one. Other than Pikablu, they're all fake Pokémon. And both of you can consider this "strike one" on the subject of edit-warring. --electAbuzzzz 14:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'm willing to live with that strike. This site's bigger than me, of course. :) Also, that's two thus far, Redstar(hey, that rhymes! Maybe I should be a poet.). --Oz ^{(The Wizard at Work!)} 14:22, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

redirecting

Unless the article is to be deleted, you don't need to relink these articles. It's okay to have redirects, as there is nothing wrong with them. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 21:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
