Bulbapedia talk:James/Gardenia poll

Why was this even moved to begin with? The only articles that I can see that deserve to be moved like this are Sabrina's Haunter (because Ash only had it for one episode, and it has never been alluded to since that point unlike his other Pokémon), Casey's Beedrill (again, same reason) and Ash's Chimchar (because Ash is the main character of the series, whereas Paul is simply a rival). Now, one could argue that since Ash only owned Primeape for five episodes, it should be renamed as Anthony's Primeape. However, unlike Haunter and Beedrill, Primeape has been referenced to as being Ash's (Spurt! comes to mind). It's not called Benny's Lickitung because Jessie owned it for longer than he did, and he is an unimportant character of the day, and we do not create articles based on Pokémon belonging to characters of the day. Ash's Chimchar is in sort of a gray area, but I personally am in support of keeping it at that name, at least for now. If something happens (like Paul gets it back, or something) we can always rename that article. But there is absolutely no reason why James's Cacnea should have been renamed to Gardenia's Cacnea. I would switch it back myself right now, but since there's a poll, it would be best to wait and hear what the users of Bulbapedia have to say. --PAK Man ^Talk 02:30, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I just hope enough people see this. But as of now, James is taking the lead. We'll see what happens at the end of the week. --☆ケンジガール 03:30, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

What th--?

Um... I don't think we need this as an official poll. And what's this "weightings" garbage? Why should any one user be more important than another? That's not the wiki way. --DarkfireTaimatsu 21:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Not sure about the official part, but that weightings nonsense has been reverted. Only sysops have the ability to weigh the poll, and this poll is not that important to be weighted. The only poll I can think of that was weighted was the one about the ads, and that's because it was such an important issue. And there, the one who made that decision was Zhen Lin, the editor-in-chief. --PAK Man ^Talk 21:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
