I wasn't yelling, or saying it in a mean way. And I have no idea what politoed666 was/is doin. I mean I'm just sayin that there cant be a pokemon with no ability, so each pokemon has to have an ability, and if they can only have one then its pretty obvious what it is.

i dont know how to do that

Kanto Gym Leaders

Please stop changing the sprites to the newer ones. It isn't consistent, since Diamond/Pearl/Platinum sprites aren't the same as Red/Blue or Gold/Silver sprites. Also, "it's been agreed to use older sprites for older games". --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 01:01, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

It has not been agreed, go to the damn forums and follow the policy that "whatever was on the page before the dispute is what is used until after a decision is made." MoldyOrange 01:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
But it is WAY more consistent. Not being consistent is a bad thing. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 01:04, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Actually, the more consistant decision is keeping everything what is was before, which is policy, until an actual decision is made. Having old sprites when it is highly unlikely that it will pass is incorrect until a decision is made, especially since the new style negates the need for sprites anyway. MoldyOrange 01:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Lt. Surge

On Lt. Surge's page, you made something incorrect by reverting all of my edit. You made it say that Electabuzz is his 3rd Pokémon in Generation II, when it's actually his 5th (and last). Next time, please look at all of the edit you're reverting. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 01:35, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

You know what, I don't care what you have to say anymore! You have hurt my feelings extremely and I still refuse to forgive you because it hurt too much. So shut up and just suck it up and change it for God's sakes, instead of complaining whenever anything I do affects you in the smallest way! MoldyOrange 01:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
How exactly did I hurt your feelings? I never said anything offensive to you! --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 02:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Section header's pretty offensive. TTEchidna 02:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't see how it could be offensive. Moldy's used a similar header on one of my talk page comments, and I didn't find it offensive at all. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 12:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Just because you don't find something offensive doesn't mean nobody will find it offensive. Just bear that in mind. Cipher (Talk) 13:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Fine, I changed the header. Happy now? --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 14:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Pokédex data order

I switched it because that's the order in which it appears on the cards. These data boxes were first used for Base Set where, yes, the Pokédex number appeared last on the card. It's too much of a job to change the order for all DP cards, but I think it should be in the right order for Stormfront onwards, given the fact that the cards no longer have Pokédex entries. It wasn't an edit in disagreement with yours or anything like that, that's just how I've done all Stormfront pages so far, and I didn't want there to be any inconsistencies. Cipher (Talk) 11:24, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Entry Pack '08 and Entry Pack '08 DX

Are both pages really necessary? I mean, I know they're different products, but so are Moonlit Pursuit and Dawn Dash, and so are Cry from the Mysterious and Temple of Anger. Wouldn't we be able to merge the two pages, improving all the information in that article (probably under the Entry Pack '08 title), part of which would include information on each product and stating how the DX version is a deluxe version (other than the inclusion of the Raichu half deck)? Cipher (Talk) 16:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead. They say most of the same information anyway. MoldyOrange 18:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Would that involve deleting '08 and moving '08 DX, or am I okay to just move the necessary data over to '08 and change '08 DX into a redirect? Cipher (Talk) 19:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
There isn't a good way to merge pages, so no deletion necessary, just move the info from DX to '08 and create the redirect. MoldyOrange 19:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Gift Box DPt card articles

Right, yesterday the Japanese TCG website revealed a new gift box and twelve of the cards that would be in it. I don't want to put the page into the mainspace until the full half deck contents get revealed, but if you take a look at my main userpage, I'm doing card articles for the eleven Pokémon cards that have been revealed. I've translated all the cards and written up the pages, but with the userspace's three-edit limit in place, I can't put them all up there at once. Is there any way I'd be allowed to put them up there now rather than having to do it over a period of three days? Cipher (Talk) 12:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:Bad Picture Section

How exactly does the other template work better? If we just use a template that says "The picture in this article is unsatisfactory", the person looking at won't know which picture we're referring to. --Chocolate (talk to me) 23:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Dude, "article" and "section" do NOT mean the same damn thing! --Chocolate 00:23, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Look-

This User's editing history I don't have the power to issue a fourth warning. Can you?--RexRacer -talk 21:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I also do not have the power to issue a fourth warning, go higher up to the burecrats. (I need to learn how to spell that) MoldyOrange 21:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I dont think any are on. He's getting a break, cause if Poli were on...--RexRacer -talk 21:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I do not have the power to use user rights log...I cannot help! MoldyOrange 21:50, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Either he's disobeying the rules, or he just doesn't know we're talking to him...maybe he doesn't now how the message alert thing works. And since he put his user page on the mainspace, I don't think he knows what or where or how to get to his talk page. M-o, can't you block him?--Tavisource 21:51, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Block is a harsh thing to do, just wait for a bur. to see and ban him from the userspace. MoldyOrange 21:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I've blocked him from userspace editing (I believe, it's the first time I've used the feature). Twenty-five edits over limit, and four warnings... I would expect after a little while, he might have figured out how to read his talk page at the least. If he really didn't see the warnings, well, he's got plenty of time to figure out how the talk system works now.
I assume he'll need to be granted userspace editing capabilities after a bit, right? I don't know the policy on that yet, it's never come up for me. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
The ban has only been given once, by TTE, and that person was banned for about a month and a half. 25 is way over the limit, so I say unban him in two months. MoldyOrange 23:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Someone will probably need to remind me on that one, hehe. A shame we can't set user rights to have an expiration date, like blocks or protection. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 23:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I guess that would be useful for you guys, not that I would know... MoldyOrange 23:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm fairly positive that he knew how to access the talkpage. After I told him how to use the usertags they suddenly started working. Sorry about that. I thought that showing him the right format would stop the minor editing, but it just started a new wave of them.--RexRacer -talk 23:17, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Not your fault he only listened to your comments selectively. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 23:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
On the note of the deleted comment, you cannot give the warnings out of order, they may have edited over, but they slipped the radar. However, if they edit the page after the warning, you can add the second. MoldyOrange 23:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
But in twenty two minutes, it will be a new day, according to the server. MoldyOrange 23:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Yep. My, today has been a rough one for the Userspace...--RexRacer -talk 23:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


User Edit

Actually, It's a gift for my boyfriend, if you must know :P. user:Starmie121 21 Oct 2008 00:02 (UTC)

  • It's fine, he has my permission to edit it. I'm hopelessly incompetent at wiki. :) user:Rayjt9 21 OCT 2008 00:05 (UTC)
But on your userpage, it says you are NOT in a relationship...--Tavisource 23:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
PWND. --ニョロトノ666 23:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
???, what's PWND?--Tavisource 23:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Pwnd. --ニョロトノ666 23:24, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
In that case, you're right!--Tavisource 23:27, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank You!

Okay, thanks for getting rid of that old sandbox of mine. User:Agent008

Stormfront card images

SP252 suggested I ask you about this one. I'm thinking about this because, with recent sets, there have been card articles with no images at all, which just means the list of articles with no card images keeps getting bigger and bigger. What I'm considering doing is uploading Japanese card images for Stormfront cards so that we have card images for the immediately and can replace them with English card images whenever we get them (like when I eventually scan in SF). What do you think? Cipher (Talk) 16:13, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, of course! The original reason we have images is for the artwork, not the text itself. Now, would these be images from the japanese card website, which are a little small for my taste, or are they actual scans of the Japanese cards? And changing them to English is a simple thing to do, just upload a new version of the image already on the page. I don't see a problem with it, and for some I would actually prefer the Japanese (like the Japanese shiny Pokémon that were sadly turned reverse holo in English). Don't worry about that evergrowing list... cards get off of there all the time, it doesn't really seem to go either way; so, cards going on the list is not a problem. MoldyOrange 22:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
As always, they'd be from the Japanese website, as they're the highest-quality images of the Japanese cards available. I'll get onto that later on. Cipher (Talk) 08:23, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's been changed.

Now you just need to login on Archives and News and the relinking will be complete. TTEchidna 00:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Maverick?

Are you all Mavericky too?You look at a situtation, and ask yourself "What would a Maerick do?" and then you do that?XD. MysticalMan would have been better.--DCM((TalkContributions))
Yay! You are the 9th one to change your name! Congrats! because every other user needed to have a good reason, and your reason was because you wanted to.--Tavisource 00:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
And the first admin to change.--Tavisource 01:38, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
WRONG!!!!! Sketch got a name change. MaverickNate 01:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
NO!!!!!!! I can't be wrong...this must be a drea, (panicking)...no!!!! Anyways, I don't understand why you deleted Ultimatecharizards tags.--Tavisource 02:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

The way he copied and pasted them caused his page to be categorized as a usertag on pages listing usertags. --RexRacer -talk 02:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

So is mine a problem? I have customed ones too.--Tavisource 02:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
I spent about twenty minutes trying to find and fix all the problems, but my computer screwed up and I got tired of fixing other user's problems from the stupid userspace junk. I did it out of frustration because I didn't want to spend an hour on that page. His page was categorized in template categories because of his screw ups, that was the problem. He can add them back the correct way anytime. MaverickNate 02:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
And, your page is fine. You didn't copy paste the coding for the categories when you added the tags. MaverickNate 02:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh...I see. Well, then, I'm good with it. I'm gonna go watch some tv now.--Tavisource 02:29, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm having trouble remembering that you are still Moldy orange--RexRacer -talk 02:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

New Special Energy Template

Which, with permission, I'd like to implement, as I have a day off today. The template itself is here and the proof of the pudding is here. The gallery isn't part of the template, by the way, that's just for cards that have had more than one illustration, such as the Stormfront ones. Can I implement it? Cipher (Talk) 11:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that looks good. All I wanted was the two artworks to be shown and both illustrators to be credited. Your template works fantastically. MaverickNate 22:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
I've just completed the whole thing: all pages now use the template, galleries implemented where necessary, higher-quality scans for all Special Energy cards from the EX Series onwards uploaded. The older Energy images have been tagged for deletion on the Archives, though - sorry about that, but now that the new template is fully implemented, it won't be happening again with Special Energy images. Cipher (Talk) 12:24, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Don't be sory that you tagged them! That helps me greatly! MaverickNate 14:46, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Are you a Maverick too?

I made this user tag,and put it on my user page

{{User Maverick}} just type {{User Maverick}} if you want to use it. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

DP100

Now that the preview has OFFICIALLY air, we can add Grotle to Ash's list as well as changing the DP100 page. [1] But unfortunately, it's still protected.--Tavisource 23:08, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

"Until it airs" is for episodes, not previews. --Shiningpikablu252 23:09, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Fan Pokémon

I have noticed that when users are creating fan Pokémon, they will use tables and such from real Pokémon articles, which are constructed so that the imputted moves are automatically linked to. Oftentimes these fan Pokémon will have signature moves not found in any Pokémon media. So it will link to ...(move)(Not yet written). This created broken links appearing in the broken links page. And we have no reason to have broken links for these, as they are fan-made moves. Is there a solution?--RexRacer -talk 23:31, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, there is. Do you know where the problems are?...they are hard to explain. MaverickNate 01:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I know that there is one here, and i spotted another one today as well. I'm not on my normal computer, however, so I can't check.--RexRacer -talk 01:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay, the main problem was that he used Template:PokémonInfobox when the userspace version for fake Pokémon is Template:PokémonInfoboxNoncat...that is the same for move, that template is Template:MoveInfoboxNoncat. MaverickNate 01:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey!!!

Not nice...why move mine and not other people's?....and could you unprotected, I will keep my promise not to move it again...take my word for it.--Tavisource 04:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

If you promise not to move it again, then it doesn't need to be unprotected. You can still edit it, it is only protected from moves. MaverickNate 04:13, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh! I get it...but I promise...unless an admin tells me to, of course.---Tavisource 04:20, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

GB Decks

Would now be a good time to add Ronald decks and such? And add other club-member decks when I add them? Gligar 15:58, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Yep, everything should be good now. Just add the decks in alphabetical order to the non-Auto deck area. I will trail behind you if you make any mistakes, so don't worry about that (I'll also be making sure that the names are consistant, since we already ran into one where it wasn't). But, the top shouldn't be edited, only the bottom section. You are free to add whatever you need to. If you have any questions, just say something to me. MaverickNate 16:02, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Mav

Since you've changed your username to Maverick Nate, you might want to edit Bulbapedia:Administrators to reflect the change. You're still listed as Moldy Orange there. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 08:41, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Crystal's Pokémon

Manga characters have a a party table juat like anime characters, which means that trained Manga Pokémon should get the same treatment as trained anime Pokémon--KukiTalk 14:19, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Favor

Fine, u win, but I have a few favors. A while ago, I uploaded a sequence ofpics to represent Dragon Rage (from Pokémon Shipwreck). Except, I don't know how to make galleries. Can u either tell me how OR do it for me? Thanks!--KukiTalk 14:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Learn how yourself, just look at coding on other pages. MaverickNate 14:32, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Bias

U REVERT ALL OF MY EDITS!!! U GIVE ME LUDICROUS BLOX!! What do u have against me? WHY DO U HATE ME???--KukiTalk 19:30, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

or maybe he reverts your edits because they are bad. did you think of that? no, i didnt think so. you see, your basis of anger stems from the same reason a student hates a teacher who put him in detention. mad? of course, but theres a reason for it. youre just gonna have to deal with it. -- MAGNEDETH 19:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
But with nicknames, it doesn't matter if it's anime or manga the p2 template should be in it!--KukiTalk 19:39, 26 October 2008
Agreed with Kuki. Chocolate 19:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, I'm glad that you two would think that having ill-represented links to Pokémon pages is better than being more correct than anything, when having both shows exactly what the Pokémon is and also what the nickname is. I like correctness and I'm keeping it the way CoolPikachu had it, since he is the head of the manga section, and knows more about what manga bo of you put together. MaverickNate 19:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
You didn't answer Kuki's original question. Chocolate 19:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
he doesnt have to. I did. -- MAGNEDETH 19:51, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

But all of my edits are good--KukiTalk 19:51, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

NOW I have ecidence to support me, regarding Crystal's Pokémon: Yellow. Revert your edit please--KukiTalk 23:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Eh... I'm with MN on this one. Show the name and the nickname together to avert confusion. --((Marton imos)) 23:33, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

But the CP format is BS (no offense to u CoolPikachu) because Yellow already has it that way!--KukiTalk 23:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, OK, yes. I see what you mean.
By the way, guys, remember that whole "platinum standard" thing we did a while ago? We should revert all of that, because that's how the pages had it already.</sardonism>--((Marton imos)) 23:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know

My edit here had an incomplete summary, but I meant to put "I find it odd that you changed "Mr. Mime" to "Mr.Mime" when you supported "Mr. Mime" a few months ago." I was trying to fix my wording, but while I was holding the backspace key, I accidentally hit "Enter", so I didn't get to finish my summary. Just wanted to let you know. Chocolate 19:56, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't notice that. But you could have fixed it without bitching. MaverickNate 20:01, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
How could I have fixed it? There isn't a way to edit an edit summary, is there? Chocolate 20:04, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
He's talking about the edit, not the summary. Jmath 20:06, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
he meant make the edit without bringing attention to it. stuff happens, people make mistakes. -- MAGNEDETH 20:07, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Could you forward me the e-mail in which Kuki's mom says he "gets violent?" --ニョロトノ666 01:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

She told me last night that he broke into her room, actually broke the lock, just to get on the computer in her room --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010
Pics or it didn't happen. TTEchidna 20:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

DP-P Promo Translations

I ended up having the same issue as you, I could never translate the whole card. I'll have another look if I have time later on this week, but unless they eventually come out in English, they might have to wait a while. Cipher (Talk) 18:00, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Plus - knew I forgot something - like I did with Stormfront card articles, should I upload card images from the official Japanese site for Legends Awakened, Majestic Dawn etc. for the articles which don't have images? Cipher (Talk) 19:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

For right now, only for the DP era. MaverickNate 21:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I'll get started on that tomorrow, then, with LA and MD. Cipher (Talk) 22:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Hm?

I'm not really sure what you mean. Are you saying that it was decided to keep the precise method of cloning on here, or that it was decided to leave it off? --ニョロトノ666 03:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

That we weren't supposed to have any "guide" type descriptions on mainspace pagesbecause they all belong in Appendix:. Isn't this what the problem is, someone was describing away to clone in the mainspace, even though it shouldn't go there? MaverickNate 04:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah. --ニョロトノ666 04:01, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Buizel images

I know and that's why I uploaded a clearer version of the other. See the diff and you'll see I changed two images. Check the first appearance image and it's clearertc26 02:19, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I already dealed with this, switched them for the better one, and deleted the duplicate. You are too late. MaverickNate 02:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Vending "Checklist" card images

Since you've managed to obtain decent images of the majority of the vending cards, do you have the checklist ones too (they have a list of cards for a deck with 3 Pokémon images at the top)? I have only seen one, and it is too small for me to read. With a decent sized image, I might be able to get the actual name of each card and get the translations done. Thanks, ~~nuva-kal 18:59, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

The only ones I have found are Checklists 1 and 2. Image:Check1.jpgImage:Check2.jpg. Hope this helps, and I hope someone will be able to get the eight remaining images we need. MaverickNate 19:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Uh...

Where did you get permission from User142 to delete his userpage? I mean, I can understand clearing out his userspace full of erroneous pages, but the userpage itself typically shouldn't be deleted unless it's blank or permission from that user has been given... So, why did you delete it? --ニョロトノ666 00:05, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect, The rule, as it is or as I have been led to believe, is blank pages, permission, or it can be deleted if it is just a page of red links with nothing else. That was all it is... a virtually blank page because it had two links two deleted pages, that was all. And, if the said user has a problem with it, he can make a comeback from his two years of no edits and request that it is restored. MaverickNate 00:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Hrm.

I don't suppose being a BP admin gets us any power on the forums, does it?

And what's with the name change? --((Marton imos)) 02:04, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I am unsure about power on the Forums, I never looked into it. But I never liked the username, especially when everyone refered to me as "Moldy". I hated that. Now, my name can be shortened as either Maverick or Nate. Since Nate is my name, I'm okay with that name, and if I'm called Maverick, it just makes me laughs, so I like it alot better. MaverickNate 02:10, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
You do realize the minute this election ends your going to hate your username, right?--DCM((Nag at Me!Edits))
You better not be hating on Nate because he is voting against me DCM, I bear no grudge and neither should you~Ποκεμανιακα0β 02:13, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
No, Maverick reminds me Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin reminds me of Tina Fey and Tina Fey makes me laugh. MaverickNate 02:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Did you see that video with Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin??? that was awesome, so hilarious~Ποκεμανιακα0β 02:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I know, I laughed all of that skit! And then, the following week, we convinced the Physics teacher to watch it in class. That was equally as fun! MaverickNate 02:20, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
My History Class had to watch it as an assigment.--DCM((Nag at Me!Edits))
As a Junior in our school, I don't have to take a history class... hehehe. But you can, if you want. MaverickNate 02:25, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
As not a Junior, we do. But I would take it anyway. Euro AP and US History AP FTW! My goal for Junior year is to take both.--DCM((Nag at Me!Edits))
I tried to take Psychology as my history class, but it was either that or band, and I wasn't about to drop band! MaverickNate 02:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Band. Thats just wrong. US AP!--DCM((Nag at Me!Edits))
Band! music is awesome~Ποκεμανιακα0β 02:35, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Japanese

Not particularly capable, I guess? I can get around fine, I guess, because links are easy to read, but I think you'd want someone more capable to do real perusing, especially since I use a dictionary to do everything.--Loveはドコ? (talk contribs) 22:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work you've been doing to improve the TCG articles! :) Dialgarules 01:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Unsure on Checklist names

I'm unsure on the name for checklist 1. What I've managed to get is "Are you a Pokémon of the open sea?", but I do not know if I have the right characters as the font for the deck name distorts a few of them. What makes me more unsure are the Pokémon in it, as they are mostly ghost types. For checklist 2 I'm more certain, as the content fits the name. I think the name is "Rich Rich Ownwer of the Pokémon Mansion!", but I would still like a second opinion. I also accidentally pressed save when toying with the layout of the article, so the checklists will appear blue until the names are sorted. ~~nuva-kal 14:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Because I want these done correctly, and I don't feel I can help you with what you need, I would like to direct your attention to another user who can be a tremendous help to you: User:Alamedyang MaverickNate 02:28, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

How was his username unacceptable? It looks only vaguely like "kick ass", so that can't be it. And even so, ass isn't even a swearword. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 14:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Response

Of course they have short tempers. I've already accepted the fact that the bulbapedia crowd is not the brightest bunch, so I really don't care at all what they think. "Messing with them could possibly lead to something more - something much worse. " OMFG death threat. That's harrassment right there. Scarfcrosspwns 02:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Scarfcrosspwns, it's not a death threat. It's a block threat. Admins can block users from editing here, and that will likely happen to you if you continue messing with admins. Chocolate 02:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Those attacks

でんげき is dengeki and is the Japanese word for "electric shock". Breaking it into its components gives us the literal translation of "electric attack". Meanwhile, でんきショック is denki shokku ("denki shock"). It also means "electric shock", but uses different wording in Japanese. It uses a word for electricity (something like "electric emotion") followed by the English word "shock".

I'd recommend using a literal translation for dengeki--"electric attack" or "electric strike", or something like that.--Loveはドコ? (talk contribs) 02:47, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks.

To me he's nothing but a rude bastard. And I ignore rude bastards, I would have deleted those comments myself anyway. He's just another troll trying to screw with people's minds, but he's not getting to me, because I won't let him. TheBlazikenMaster 21:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Good for you! That is what I like to hear! MaverickNate 22:55, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

SCATHING EMAILS, AWAY!!!!!--DCM((Shut the **** upSpy on My Edits))
Wouldn't scathing emails be a little over the top? Hes gone now, lets delete his user page and free space on the server and forget about him. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010
Wait, would deleting his page really save space? I mean, the deletion log will always be around so that admins can view or restore the page. The deleted page has to be put somewhere for that to work. --((Marton imos)) 00:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Thats what Ive always wondered, when they delete Non BP Discussion from talk pages, arent they taking up more space, as every edit creates a new page to be added to the history?

Japanese help page

There's no need for such a page? Probably half the mainspace pages have Japanese text. Someone has to read it, and not everyone has Vista or a Unix-based system. In fact, I'd say the majority of visitors didn't get their computers with Japanese support out of the box. It's like saying that we don't need a page on how to make templates because most people won't need to edit templates. --Raijinili 23:27, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

There isn't a need for such a page. One: it wasn't categorized. Two: It was poorly worded and written. Three: Most of it wasn't true, because guess what! All I see is boxes, but I am the biggest contributor on the Japanese of the cards. That totally contradicted the first rule, and consequently, the second. Four: the isn't a need for a page like that. If they wonder how to contribute in Japanese, check it out somewhere else. It wasn't even that helpful. MaverickNate 23:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
1) Not being categorized doesn't say anything about the potential usefulness of the page.
2) It was something I typed up quickly. Whether or not the page was poorly written has no bearing on whether or not the page should be created.
3) What operating system do you use? What browser?
4) It's relevant to editing Bulbapedia. That automatically qualifies the topic as something which should have a help page. As for it not being helpful, it was just a skeleton for a page. This is a wiki, so we can be expected to work together to improve pages. Besides, it's a topic for which the experience of each user may be different from over a hundred different other users, and thus it's hard to get it right the first time.
Anyway, stop trying to get me to flame you.
I noticed that you also deleted Talk:Selphy. Might I ask why? I see no reason why a mainspace talk page should be deleted if it doesn't contain material that should be hidden, or is full of irrelevant discussion. --Raijinili 23:52, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Wow, that last statement totally lost my respect towards you. Anyway, I use internet explorer. MaverickNate 00:08, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
I think, Nate, what he's trying to say is that most Bulbapedians don't understand Japanese and to help them, we need a page full of shit Japanese explanations and such. Although it shouldn't be too detailed, in my opinion. Just an explanation of "no" and names should do fine. (Also, IE has the sad disability of being unable to work CSS right)Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links 00:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
last i checked, this was an english wiki. you want to speak and edit in japanese? here you go. all of our japenese is is in titles and references only. -- MAGNEDETH 00:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
No, I think he's saying we should have a page like this. And I agree. --((Marton imos)) 00:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
well, if thats the case, he should have made it obvious, instead of starting with "so, you want to edit in Japanese". it should be noted that my computer can also not read japanese characters. its also worth noting, making an article under the "Bulbapedia" namespace, is almost always admin territory. -- MAGNEDETH 00:56, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
It should've been "Help," definitely, and it was confusing. But I definitely think such a page would be helpful, if only so that signatures stop appearing to people as a bunch of question marks. --((Marton imos)) 01:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I haven't been in the habit of writing explanations for others for about three or four years. --Raijinili 01:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

ぶつかる

"Strike" or "collide with".

The Warning

I explained to you the reson why there was an extra edit. For me, it was 2 different days, when I realised I immediately told an admin of my mistake, I dont think it warrants a warning. Can you please remove it. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

p.s this is my first warning about the user space. This is the only time ive gone over the limit and it was an accident, as I thought it was 2 seperate days. And it was in my timezone. Im sorry for this misdemeanour and ill make sure it doesnt happen again, but can you take away the warning. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

But I didnt break the law, I made 3 edits that day, and he still warned me even though I was perfectly within the rules. Plus when he wrote that, I had only made 2 edits that day, surely that doesnt count as a warning. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

Nope, based on Bulbapedia midnight, you had four edits that day to the userspace. MaverickNate 18:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Nope. Check my edit history, this is the first time Ive ever edited 4 times in a day. DCM warned me after 2 edtis. CHECK the history of my page. DCM's warning was illegal, as I had broken no rules. So please can you edit your comment to say 1st warning. As the one from DCM is illegitimate as I had not broken the rules. Again, check the history. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

Nope, even if his warning was incorrectly given, it still applied. You had four edits that day, no matter how many you had when he warned you. You just got your second warning and it stays that way. Now do something else before you get your 7th talk page warning. MaverickNate 18:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
i think youre missing the big picture here Max, youve made 16 edits in the past 4 months. -- MAGNEDETH 18:27, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Therefore I should only have 1warning. DCM warned me on the 28th july on which I only edited 3 times which is well within the rules. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

Can you please explain to me why I should have 2??? --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

Because, you have 0 mainspace contributions for the month of November and 2 for October. It is staying in order to add extra instigation to edit the mainspace. MaverickNate 18:45, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou, I shall now be taking this matter to ((u|TTEchidna)} as it is completely unfair what you are suggesting. I want the first warning by DCM to be removed as I didn't break any policy. He made this warning on July 28th when I had only made 3 userspace edits, therefore the warning is illegal, I should only have 1 warning and that is for the error i made today and therefore the first warning from DCM should not be counted. Clearly we are going to keep on disagreeing so we shall have to take this matter to TTE to settle the matter. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

Take a closer look at the userspace policy page. Making three edits everyday is also a break of the rules. The second warning stays. MaverickNate 18:56, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I have refered the issue to ((u|TTEchidna)) who I trust to make the right judgement. At the time of the warning it was the only edits I had made EVER, so how could that count as 3 edits on multiple days. And I leave big gaps in between days, there has only been 1 occasion when it there were 2 consecutive days. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

It was not the only edits ever. Have you forgotten about your previous account? MaverickNate 19:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Ha! That account never made a single edit to the user space, check it! your point is moot. the first 3 edits I ever made were on this account, and I was warned after them for making more than 3 edits , even though I had only made 3, therefore the warning should not count, as I followed the rules exactly. The warning was given out of error and should not count. TTE will deal with this im sure. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

Actually, it did. Notice that page I deleted earlier? That was the rule break I was talking about. You edited that page over the limit. Iand It doesn't show up because I deleted it, but it is still there. So, quit complaining and edit the mainspace for once. MaverickNate 19:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

If you bring it back, will it bring back the edit history? Id like to know if I have broken the rules, so deleting it deleted the only clue we have to sort out this mess, if I did edit that more than 3 times a day, I am for to have the warning, however I would like you to prove it, before I am punished/ --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010

One: you aren't punished til warning four. Two: you are about to be punished for editing talk pages too much, so I'd go do some mainspace edits if I were you before you are blocked. MaverickNate 19:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Back of a Japanese Card

Do you feel it would be a good addition to Pokémon Trading Card Game to have a scan of the reverse side of a Japanese language card? If so, I have a few in some of my earlier sets that I could scan. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 22:31, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

we dont have one already? im not Mav, but, i can say that we should. theyre completely different. i know, ive got a bazillion Jap cards. i dont want them anymore! you want them? take them! also, if you can, get the back of the Vending Cards too. if im not mistaken, theyre different as well. -- MAGNEDETH 22:35, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
We don't actually. I'll get to scanning it soon. Sure I'll take them, now where did I put that teleporter... I don't have any Vending Cards, sadly, I just main sets. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 22:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
I think it'd be a good idea, aye. I have one of the newer card backs, too, which I could scan in if you haven't got one of them. Cipher (Talk) 22:46, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Although, that said, I wouldn't categorise it in the Bulbapedia like the English card back, just in the Archives. 22:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
My Japanese cards end at Neo Destiny. Image uploaded & added. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 22:55, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
I've got one from e-Card 1, which is newer, so I'll upload that tomorrow, so we've got both. =) Cipher (Talk) 23:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Japanese card numbering

I've been jostling with this for a while. I think I have come up with a reasonable solution. For those cards that share the same set article in English and Japanese, simply "set" is left in the box and the numbers are put in under "English Card No." and "Japanese Card No.". However if they share different articles (such as a main set and a half deck), the two should be separated into two blocks for English and Japanese (without an empty row divider).

I came to this when I was doing the e-card trainers, originally separating them into two blocks, but then I thought since for example: cards from e-card 2 & 3 share the same article as Aquapolis, was there really much point in adding extra rows.

The main issue comes with cards released in a lot of sets. The only one I have made a complete list for is Energy Switch, and it looks a little... excessive; but it is one thing I think needs to be done to bring English and Japanese TCG stuff together. I'd like to know what you think.

BTW, I also seemed to have missed all of these comments flying around recently with my head buried in translations. If these comments were nuclear warheads, I'm sure all of us here would have regressed to something that jabs things with pointy sticks and dragging our wives along the ground back to our rocky homes... all because some can't read stuff in a big yellow box. ~~nuva-kal 15:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I like the idea, but I don't like the approach that you took on the energy switch page. It is a good idea to implement, but can we wait and finalize everything first? We have opened a lot of work for the TCG pages and I would like to try to get some if not most of it done before we open another, is that okay with you? It is a good idea, one that I have been thinking about as well, but I think the mass-reprinted trainer card display of information needs a new format. MaverickNate 23:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
That's fine. Perhaps when it is time to move to that stage, a show/hide section may be better for Japanese-only reprints. ~~nuva-kal 00:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I hate show/hide just as much as I hate galleries. I think that it would be better if we just did English on the left and Japanese releases on the right, similar to the main expansion pages. MaverickNate 01:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Aw, but expandable's fun. TTEchidna 01:20, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Abilities

If they can't possibly have another ability, then leave it alone. If its unconfirmed, then fine put unknown. But for like Paul's Torterra and Weavile, they can only have one ability, and Pokemon HAVE to have an ability, so if they can only have 1 ability, like with the grass starters with overgrow, then they have to have it, got it? Happizelpom 03:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, so you yell at me when I finish for Politoed666, a EB member, but you completely leave him alone. I see how it is.... But anyway, it needs to be confirmed through words in the anime MaverickNate 03:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, everybody has to yell at the mere admin, EB members, scary! Seriously though, as Mav has said it needs to be confirmed through dialogue in the anime. Data from the games just doesn't cut it. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 04:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't yelling, or saying it in a mean way. And I have no idea what politoed666 was/is doin. I mean I'm just sayin that there cant be a pokemon with no ability, so each pokemon has to have an ability, and if they can only have one then its pretty obvious what it is.
