User talk:FireGambit

Welcome to Bulbapedia, FireGambit!

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!   ForceFire 04:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Of Whom

This wording implies a specific Bulbasaur, or a specific Charmander. We are trying to avoid using singular words that describe an individual, and use words to describe the species as a whole. Also, the XY information doesn't need to be mentioned in the opening paragraph, as they are not a Kalos Starter Pokémon. We have that information in the location box in the locations section of the article.--ForceFire 04:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Okay, sorry for making you go through all my edits and fix them. Do you mind linking me to your policies page? FireGambit (talk) 04:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Here's the category containing our policies.--ForceFire 04:35, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. Also, why can't I edit my profile? I'd like to do something like what you have on yours, but it says I need to make an edit before I can create my profile. Haven't I made an edit? FireGambit (talk) 04:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

You need to make a specific amount of edits to be able to edit your userpage, an amount that I do not know myself. Also, increase the amount of colons so your comment appears indented. For example, you would place four colons if you were to reply and I would place five colons if I were to reply back again.--ForceFire 04:57, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for all the help; I've probably been a bother. :) --FireGambit (talk) 05:00, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

No, not at all. It's good to know that you asked questions about the site. Don't be afraid to ask the admins for anything.--ForceFire 05:07, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

James' in categories

James's is the actual spelling for the category instead of James' so keep it at James's. PattyMan 17:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
