Talkpage Comments

hi

Hi PsychicRider,

can I have a question? Can you look at this? My English is not much good so please write me back. Is my user page OK? Thanks. - unsigned comment from Issus (talkcontribs)

Hello, Yes your user page is OK, basically anything can really go on the userpage as long as it follows the Userspace policy and as long the edits to the userspace are kept low compared to the mainspace, so it's fine right now. :D. --Psyライダー 18:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
That's fine. Thanks. --Issus 21:55, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
No problem, I'm happy to help. :) --Psyライダー 21:56, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Cerulean City

Hi, just trying to understand a revision you made to the Cerulean City page last month. You added a full moveset listing for Bulbasaur when it's just the default moves for its level. Is there any special reason why this needs to be displayed? Schreiber 10:09, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

It's the moveset to the Bulbasaur that is given to the player in Yellow, and is a special event-ish Pokémon. --Psyライダー 22:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

In reply

Well aware. It must have slipped once or twice. I've done quite a lot of summaries with quite a lot of links. It's only natural that I slip up once. SinnohFan 22:31, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Well, actually...You really didn't do anything wrong with the links...It was more of a easier thing to do instead of typing out like [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] you could have used {{p|Pikachu}} for example. I wasn't aware that you knew the link templates were there...Apologies~ --Psyライダー 22:44, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
But why is it necessary for you to edit them? I come from Wikipedia and WikiHow and I'm very used to the [[LINK|TEXT]] style. It's not actually easier for me to write {{p|Pikachu}} because I am way too used to LINK/TEXT. I don't find it necessary to have to learn your template style, nor do I find it necessary for you to need to edit my LINK/TEXT style. As long as I redirect them to the correct page, I see very little differences other than I have to memorize another template on one. SinnohFan 01:45, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Because Link Templates are official policy here on Bulbapedia. Bulbapedia is not Wikipedia. Our policies are different from theirs...--Psyライダー 01:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Well then how about this: I'll write my summaries and make someone else do the links. I spend plenty of my time doing favors for this site and if it's going to be nitpicky with my templates and force me to change years of experience, then I'll stick with my experience and make someone else do the webbing. SinnohFan 01:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
No. That's more work for us to follow you around and fix what you can do in one edit. Our policies and rules > Wikipedia rules and polices... --Psyライダー 02:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Show me in the rules where it says I have to web-together pages when I edit. I plan(ned) on finishing up the summaries for the entire anime series, and you can have the summaries without the links or you have the summaries with the links without the template or you don't have the summaries at all. Choose your pick. SinnohFan 02:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
The templates are policy for a reason; by containing the links within small templates, page bytes are reduced, it makes our jobs easier when re-locating pages, and cuts down on links to disambiguation pages.
We do appreciate your work writing these summaries, but if you're not going to correctly template and format them, you only give us more work; following behind your every edit and fixing your formatting. Time and edits that could be spent writing summaries in the correct format the first time around.
I'm not asking you to memorize much, or completely re-learn coding. It's as simple as using {{p|Pikachu}} instead of [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]], and so on. The link templates aren't hard to remember at all; if you can't remember one, it's not a huge deal, if you mess one up, not a big issue. But if you're going to completely ignore them because you prefer to do it Wikipedia style, then perhaps you'd be better off spending your time editing Wikipedia, rather then coming here and attempting to apply Wikipedia's style to Bulbapedia.
And just an FYI, I'm personally a long-time editor of both Wikipedia and a few other MediaWiki sites, as well as an administrator on a few. I know what you mean when you say you've grown used to the normal link formatting. But you'll just have to trust me when I say that using the link templates here is not only easy, but in most instances, a good deal faster and simpler.
Just do us a favor and try to use them. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 02:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Well then if I'm so much work you can keep your empty summaries. SinnohFan 02:28, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

(resetting indent)We have many users here. If you want to cooperate, that's fine. If you don't want to, that's fine too. This and this may help. ht14 02:35, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm aware you have many users, but I was the only one who has the initiative to finish the entire anime series' summaries. I'm quite exuberant with not cooperating and leaving you guys with blank summaries. See ya. SinnohFan 02:51, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
We just want you to use link templates. It's truly not harder than what you're doing. If you want to leave, that's your choice. All we want it is for you to use them. They are much easier and allow for quicker change if necessary... --Psyライダー 02:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Phantom page

What did you just do on the The Phantom page? --Hmdwgf 06:32, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Spelling mistakes. I fixed "projecters" to "projectors"" and "vincity" to "vicinity". Tis all~ --Psyライダー 06:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Ah. I never saw those mistakes. --Hmdwgf 08:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I see. I do make those kind of edits a lot. --Psyライダー 13:33, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I need a little help

How to do a redirect, I kinda forgot.--Midnight Blue 02:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

#REDIRECT [[Where you want to link]]. --Psyライダー 02:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
And where do I put that? Darn my natural stupidity.--Midnight Blue 02:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
You just create the page you want to redirect to, and paste that there and click save and it should redirect to the main page when you search the redirected article...If that makes sense...>_>. --Psyライダー 02:15, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Alright, thanks.--Midnight Blue 02:16, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
No problem~ --Psyライダー 02:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

EP137-Sorry for causing you extra work

My most abject apologies. I'm new to Bulbapedia so just to clarify a few things:

  • Use American English
  • Capitalise the word "Pokémon"
  • Spell check everything (Sorry again for being lazy there)
  • And also it seems, use templates rather than piped linking.

Is there anything else I missed?

Thank you for your time.--Beligaronia 09:28, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Follow the MOS, don't put your opinion, and make sure what you're adding is true. And that should be it. R.A. Hunter Blade 13:44, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, that's about right. It's not a problem though since a majority of what I do is spelling/grammar checks...--Psyライダー 15:47, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I made a mistake....

Sorry for my removing relevant information from Vulpix's page. I was limiting myself by thinking only about anime appearances, and did not think then that side games (of which I am not familiar with) would have consideration. My mistake. Steph 03:47, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Tis quite all right. You have my forgiveness hahaha...:P. --Psyライダー 03:49, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Changing pictures

Is it really necessary to change the pictures? In many of them you are changing from full body shots to head shots. It may be clearer, but it shows less of the character. Blake Talk·Edits 23:01, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Yep, considering we're going from jpg to png, I feel its necessary to change them. And to be honest, no one is really going to care if the body is shown or not...and that's even saying if people even look at the pictures...--Psyライダー 23:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I understand

I understand your concern. However, though it is Serebii's work, many of Bulbapedia's pages would not have been created withought Serebii. How about we rewrite it in our own words? I think the pictures are OK to use from there, as many pictures come from the site as well. Your thoughts? - 050294 00:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Ask Serebii if he's ok with it first, and then use the pics giving credit to them. His email's on Serebii. ht14 00:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
If you're writing a paper, would you copy and paste information just because "the paper wouldn't have been written without these websites"? No. Taking Serebii's words is stealing and, in most countries, illegal. Please do not use his images, either. --RexRacer 00:49, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
This is the wrong attitude to take with this. You are suggesting that Serebii is THE source for all Pokémon information. And that just isn't true. Do not e-mail him to ask. We will get our own information and screenshots. -Sketch 00:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

No, I wasn't suggesting it was the source, I realize they get their info from other places, though they do get it from either semi-reliable (IE Corocoro) or comepletely reliable (IE Pokémon website) sources. My apologies. - 050294 00:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Ash's Party Pic!

Hey Rider, I want to know something. You putted that bad picture template on Ash's Party in DP167 pic and I want to know why. You mentioned two reasons Horribly cropped and blurry.

Well, I cropped it in this way because the whole picture was filled with useless space and some other Pokémon. So, is it looking that badly cropped?
Second, I cropped it from a 1280*720 (1.25 mb size) screenshot taken from a 720p HD quality video and you still think its blurry? It doesn't make any sense. Can you please explain it? Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 11:11, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Well, to be honest...The picture in general is ugly...Most of the Pokémon are like horribly drawn or something because they are honestly really ugly, Infernape, Buizel, Staraptor and Gible to be exact, but I don't know if it was like that before or after cropping...I'm not sure any solution, but a different picture would be better...It's just either ugly or blurry...--Psyライダー 12:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh, now I get it. Its definately ugly in that case. I have the full version of this image and the quality in both images is same and its not because of cropping. It's the animation which made it look ugly. Well, if that's the main reason then we should simply remove the pic because its quality is on peek and can't be better by any other way. If you want the full version then I can give you that too but I don't think that's the solution. So, what are we going to do now? ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 12:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Throw the full image up somewhere so we can decide how much to crop it. But yeah, the newer animation style is getting a little odd. I noticed that with the Gible episodes. They've started using bolder lines during some of the "cool" and "funny" scenes. R.A. Hunter Blade 13:28, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Wish granted (:P). Here is the full version of that pic. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 13:43, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Question about images

If an image is non-animated, would you prefer it to be in PNG format? I noticed you left a comment on a couple articles saying "PNG...", does that mean PNG is a standard here? Cyan Ryan(talk) 01:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, they kinda keep the colors and junk together more and are generally higher quality...JPGs are uploadable, but the preferable type is PNG...Hope this helps~..--Psyライダー 01:21, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
So if I see an image in gif format or such, should I find a png version of it and upload it? Cyan Ryan(talk) 01:23, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
