User talk:Mega Linoone

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Mega Linoone!

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!   GrammarFreak01 (talk) 20:57, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk page discussions

Please don't respond to discussions that are over 6 months old, especially if you're only commenting to note a spelling error. It is pointless to do so, as it is simply a mistake and the user that made the mistake may no longer be around to see your comment.--ForceFire 05:14, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

I will reiterate Force Fire's point, DO NOT respond to discussions that have been inactive for a long time. It's useless to get a response in that topic. If you want to start a discussion, create a brand-new section in the talk page. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 23:09, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

This is your final warning. Do not respond to comments that are (well) over 6 months old. It is pointless, considering that the user may no longer be around to even see your comment. Failure to abide by this will lead to a block.--ForceFire 04:59, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

What was that for exactly? If anything, you should be thanking me for straightening that person out. If this is supposed to be a fact-based wiki, then why should I not be able to provide facts? It is also incorrect to say the user might not be around to read my comment is wiki accounts cannot be deleted. Also, which is more important: how old a discussion is or how factual it is? Do you really think I have the time to check when a factually incorrect statement is written? Also, if you are so certain that the person who typed the statement won't see any comments on it, why are you reading them? If it really is pointless to reply to old discussions, then you shouldn't care. Am I not allowed to correct even one error without people threatening my account? This is a wiki. Wikis are based on fact. Are you really going to say that you would rather have people believe an incorrect statement simply because it is old? Was it really necessary to threaten my account for correcting a statement that the original stator has forgotten about stating? If I made a mistake, I wouldn't threaten you for correcting it. if this threatening persists, I will delete my talk page.Mega Linoone (talk) 19:08, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Do you even know how to delete a talk page? GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:11, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

I do. What was that deleting my statement that just asks that people don't threaten my account? Any further editing to this page not done by me will be considered a threat to my account. Any statement of mine that gets deleted will be considered a threat to my First Amendment rights. Either one will result in me deleting this page. Mega Linoone (talk) 19:21, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Warnings like that aren't meant for the talk page. Also, there's no way you can delete a talk page. No one can. It's impossible. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:23, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

You are literally saying people are allowed to threaten me, but I am not allowed to tell them not to threaten me. Mega Linoone (talk) 19:25, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

There are certain rules and protocol for everything on Bulbapedia, including talk pages. And who said you were being threatened? You're overreacting. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:27, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Apparently, it is not a threat for some other person to say something along the line of "I will take away your ability to edit this wiki for a period of time if you don't let people believe incorrect statements."Mega Linoone (talk) 19:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

That is NOT what Force Fire said. This is just about contributing to talk page discussions that have been dead for months. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:37, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Apparently I have to leave alone all old discussions, even if they are incorrect? Also, how would you know who I am talking about?Mega Linoone (talk) 19:41, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Yes, you have to leave those alone. But nothing's stopping you from creating a brand-new section that addresses the same topic, as I told you months ago. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:43, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

If I create a new section, how will the person that made the incorrect statement know I an talking about his or her statement? Also, why is there a time limit to reply to discussions? Wikipedia has no such limit.Mega Linoone (talk) 19:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

First off, I'm not sure. Secondly, looking at the history of Aasquasar (talk • contribs), that user hasn't been active for years, so it's very doubtful you'll get their attention either way. Thirdly, we're not Wikipedia. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:51, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

How would you know who wrote the incorrect claims that Pokémon is futurist? To quote the editing guides, "Do not misrepresent rumors, misconceptions or opinions as fact."Mega Linoone (talk) 19:59, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

(resetting indent)I don't even know what you're talking about anymore. I just looked through your edit history, saw the discussion in question, and looked at the original poster's history. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 20:01, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

First of all, calm down.

Secondly, the user hasn't edited in years, so that means they're not going to see your reply. The wiki account not being deleted has nothing to do with whether someone will see your comment. The account is not managed by a machine, it's managed by an actual person. And that person hasn't logged into their account in years. I.e. that person is not going to see your message. Therefore, it's pointless.

Thirdly, I could throw that question back at you. If the person won't see your comment, why are you responding to it? It doesn't matter if their opinion is incorrect, the discussion was years old. There's absolutely no need to respond to it. It's not a big deal.

Fourthly, the namespace you were editing was the talk space, not the main space. It doesn't matter if non-factual stuff gets put on the talk page, since the talk pages are for discussing improvements and such. And you're putting a lot of faith into people actually bothering to read, and believe, whatever that section was talking about. No one even responded to it, so basically, no one cares enough to read it.

Fifth, you can't delete talk pages, normal users don't have the ability to delete pages. Removing content from your talk page is not the same as deleting your talk page.

Sixth, you've been warned three times about responding to old discussions. Meaning that you did not read your own talk page until now. You were only "threatened" with a block because you repeatedly ignored your warnings.

Seventh, we are not Wikipedia. They have their rules, and we have ours. Just because we're both wikis, doesn't mean we're going to have the same exact rules and guidelines.

Eighth, calm down. There was no need to overreact like the way you did. And in the long run, your misdemeanor isn't even that much of a big deal. Just don't respond to comments over 6 months old, regardless of how "factually wrong" it is. Just ignore it. If no one has responded to it all these years, then that should be a clear sign that no one cared about that section.--ForceFire 05:36, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Now you are just asking me to remove all the typing.Mega Linoone (talk) 12:07, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
