Welcome to Bulbapedia, PardescanSlowbro!
Bulbapedia bulb.png

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

  • Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
  • Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
  • Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
  • Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
  • You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
  • If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
  • For more handy links, see the welcome portal.
Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --Abcboy (talk) 03:43, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

As a reminder, you don't need to save something every 15 minutes (or even hour, or whatever). If you plan to be heavily working on a page, just use preview and only save once, at the end, when you're actually going to take a break from it. Tiddlywinks (talk) 02:57, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk Page Comments

Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's talk page policy. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --Tiddlywinks (talk) 03:38, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Force Preview

Since you removed your preview warnings from your talk page, that implies that you have not read or have no intentions on reading or heeding the message. Users are expected to co-operate with staff when they are given warnings, so do take them seriously. You have been placed on force preview because making so many edits on one page, when you could've done it all in one go, is plain and simply unacceptable.--ForceFire 03:50, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Since my first edits I have felt targeted by individuals whom feel they can lecture me on my conduct. I am enthusiastic to bring about new and growing knowledge and would appreciate some leniency when it comes to the editing in multiple stages. I deleted the comments as I had read them and was not fully aware of the archive or the fact that on my own talk page I was being monitored by other individuals. I suggest users change their tact to accommodate and encourage new users rather than beating them with pointed sticks. - unsigned comment from Pardescan Slowbro (talkcontribs)
Those individuals are staff members, at least the ones giving you warnings. And the warnings are just that, warnings, you aren't going to be in any serious trouble if you adhere to them, leniency will come if you follow what is asked of you (that was, to use the preview button). Deleting comments once you've read them is a pretty odd thing to do, but it is frowned upon.--ForceFire 07:52, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm actually enjoying having the Force preview feature, it acts as a reminder and is coming in use. I would also like to thank you for your edits to my additions, by streamlining it and adding to them to the actual content as opposed to deleting it.

Links

Hello! Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, {{p|Totodile}} instead of just [[Totodile]]. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full crash course on link templates, look at the list of link templates. Thanks! ht14 03:00, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

To make things easier, please keep our discussion on your talkpage. What will definitely help is looking over the points given by Abcboy, as seen at the top of your talkpage. For instance, to sign your name, use four tildes (~~~~). All the important information can be found there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here! ht14 03:30, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Symbiotic Relationships

I have moved your page to your userspace at User:PardescanSlowbro/Symbiotic Relationships. Please continue to work on it and improve it there until approved by a staff member. Thanks! --Abcboy (talk) 00:29, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Not a problem, thank you PardescanSlowbro (talk) 03:18, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring

Please do not continually revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you disagree with an edit, discuss it on the talk page, do not revert the edit. The Brock trivia is not notable, so what if Brock hasn't used the Heavy Ball. Things get forgotten all the time in the anime, it's not that significant.--ForceFire 05:52, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Your edits

I had to undo some of your edits because of the bad grammar and writing style, which made me unsure about what you were trying to communicate and I did not want to further skewer anything through any corrections. If English is not your primary language, I urge you to improve your English if you want to continue editing here without any problems. Thanks. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 20:13, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate your diligence as said before. Though the changes you are making are minor, such as a word change here and there. Please realise that the scale of this 'issue' is small, though you are making it sound like I am writing with spelling mistakes throughout, no full stops or sentence structure. Your comment about my English skills is out of turn, and could be considered racist. If you wish to promote better writing across other users it may be an idea to suggest how someone could improve rather than to label their writing as poor and delete stuff. Thank you Tiddlywinks for stepping in to defend my additions.PardescanSlowbro (talk) 00:30, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Wow, you're reaching. How is my complaint about your English considered racist? This is the English version of Bulbapedia; good English is to be expected from all new users. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 01:12, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Location descriptions

Why do you keep adding all these descriptions to location articles? They take up precious space and are too in-depth; there is simply no need for them. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 00:08, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I can stop with the location descriptions. But with the information added please do not revert those changes, I do not mind an edit. But a reversion is too drastic, it is information none the less.PardescanSlowbro (talk) 00:13, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Also I had to re-edit the 'in the anime' section for Littleroot Town, only the laboratory's building have orange curved roofs.PardescanSlowbro (talk) 00:18, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
For the last time, I reverted the edit you made at Cameran Palace because there was simply no need. It was several blocky paragraphs that spend too much time explaining certain interior rooms. It takes away from the overall picture of the palace itself. A couple of sentences devoted to descriptions is fine, but an in-depth explanation of every single aspect of a location definitely takes away from the reading experience. Unless there is something extremely notable about that aspect that was demonstrated in the anime, it's just way too much depth. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 00:27, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
This is the kind of feedback I needed. And I was grateful to see the Cameran Palace page rejigged to incorporate both the additions and better still an improved structure. I'd much rather work in collaboration with users like yourself who know a lot about how everything here works. I'm still starting out with the editing, to become more accustomed to Bulbapedia's styling, making it both accessible to people of all literacy levels and at the same time informative. I've made a note that if a location was to be described in detail it would have to have an event pivotal to some character development or background information, and will endeavour to streamline any future edits before publishing. Thanks.PardescanSlowbro (talk) 00:39, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
What are you talking about? I've been giving you feedback through my edit summaries. And I'm still thinking if the material at the Cameran Palace article needs to be deleted. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 00:44, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Character descriptions

Unless it's a main character, there's no need to write in-depth explanations on a certain anime character's personality and characteristics, especially if it's an anime character based on a game character. Such sections should be succinct and to the point. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 06:07, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Your edits again

Perhaps you should pay attention to what I'm doing to fix your edits. It really is getting grating for me to improve the spelling and grammar you use. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 05:33, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

You are blowing things out of proportion. I don't have issues with grammar or spelling like you are suggesting. The detail comment I can agree on, and have been streamlining my approach. I've noted your edits which are literally changing apostrophes, a new arrangement of the exact same info and a word change or two. You seem to be the only one angered by the so called issues with my grammar which aren't actually issues. If there is a significant issue I suggest you get one of the administrators to absolve it as I'm clearly 'illiterate' and also completely oblivious to such matters. Hopefully the bad grammar in this comment isn't too much of a strain to read. Thanks PardescanSlowbro (talk) 07:49, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
You keep misusing "whom" as you recently did here, misspelling "unbeknownst" as you recently did here (see fourth paragraph), and using run-on sentences (littered here and there in the latter diff). There's probably more, but I cannot remember at the moment because I am getting drowsy. But these are things I've noticed first and foremost whenever I have to fix your edits.
