Standards

Isn't there normally something on the discussion page that tells what about the article needs doing? Iliekmudkips 21:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Manual of style. Needs cleaning up, it's essentially a giant wall of text. TTEchidna 00:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm working on a new version of this article, located here, with "/IV" and "/Type" subpages. A I am not english-native speaker, I would appreciate somebody's help, especially with math terms.Piotr mil 02:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Why not just make these pages in the main namespace? Or even better, work on them in some kind of sandbox, and then put them in the main namespace? --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 02:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I just want to prepare them, as I'm not sure how should they look. I was trying to make a sandbox, but it was considered as spamming and making "useless Myspace junk", so I moved here to work. Piotr mil 04:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I understand that. But when preparing them, there's no need to save the changes to the site, especially if they're not ready yet. Try copying the code to wordpad. When you want to see how it looks, copy it all, go to the sandbox, paste it in over whatever's there already, and preview it. There's no need to save.
Like I said, I appreciate what you're doing, so I'm sorry I'm coming off as such a hard-ass here. I just want to prevent you from spamming the recent changes with a lot of edits to the same page. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 05:32, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
That's ok. I hope you appreciate the article. Piotr mil 16:33, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Maths

Can't the calculations and explanations for the Hidden Power formula be easier? I'm not good at maths, and I don't think many people here are Math professors.FireHazard 02:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

No, that equation is simplified as far as it could possibly go. MoldyOrange 02:25, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Its actually quite simpleGood Day;DCM
Math professors??? Multiplying, adding and dividing is a basic knowledge. You don;t need to have four brains or be able to bend spoons to understand it. I know, however, that this might be a little bit confusing when you look at this for the first time, but - again - try to do some math excercises, and you will understand it. Pokémon games are based on math (shinyness, game data structures, IVs, EVs, etc.) like everything else. And - yes - I simplified this article to the maximum. The previous one was quite messy.

I added a few links to Wikipedia math articles to make the article a little bit easier to understand. Hopefully I won't be punished for too many wp: likns :D Piotr mil 12:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
