Please use sentence case in section and article titles - that is to say, capitalise as if you were writing a sentence, rather than as if you were writing a book title. - 振霖T 06:13, 9 November 2005 (CST)

Type effectiveness numbers

I'd like to ask where you're getting your numbers. Latias (Pokémon)#Type effectiveness has truly bizarre numbers compared to PokéFor's figures. - 振霖T 06:41, 9 November 2005 (CST)

For the physical attack types, I start with 100 and apply weakness/resistance according to the normal rules. For special types, I start with 100*defense/special defense, which allows for better representation of damage ratios. For example, a Psychic move would do about 1.5 times as much damage to a Geodude as a Fighting move of the same strength; just looking as weakness/resistance would make it look like Figting is twice as strong as Psychic.User142 07:48, 9 November 2005 (CST)

Hmmmm, you may wish to note that somewhere in the template. It confused me quite a bit the first time. - 振霖T 03:24, 10 November 2005 (CST)

If you would like, I could lend you the services of BulbaBot so that you won't need to manually edit all those articles. If you are not proficient in PHP, I can do the coding for you, if you could provide me the data. - 振霖T 05:28, 13 November 2005 (CST)

Minor edits

I suggest marking all your minor edits as such. It isn't mandatory, but it makes it a lot easier for people who pay the most attention to major edits. --Argy 21:58, 6 December 2005 (CST)

Which edits of mine are you calling minor? I tend to be careful about marking edits as minor, because if someone wants to keep track of changes, better have false positives than false negatives.User142 02:54, 7 December 2005 (CST)

Walkthorughs

As much as I appreciate your writing your walkthroughs, I'm just wondering, what's the point of having the content in templates? You could just put them in the article itself. But, as far as I am concerned, walkthroughs are not encyclopedic. They are informative, yes. But not encyclopedic. - 振霖T 07:46, 14 November 2005 (CST)

The reason I'm using templates is because this way I can re-use the same data for Sapphire without having the ugliness of mixing data from the two games (like at gamesfaq). If a change or correction will be made in the template, it will then show up in the sapphire game, to. User142 07:49, 14 November 2005 (CST)

In that case, don't put them in the template namespace. You can easily include non-templates as if they were templates, for example, {{:User talk:User142}} would include this page. - 振霖T 03:26, 16 November 2005 (CST)

Sorry, I didn't know this is possible. I fixed it now.User142 07:59, 16 November 2005 (CST)

HELP!

The anime section is being vandalised! I don't know what to do! :'( Manga-in-a-bottle 01:52, 22 November 2005 (CST)

How about you start by reverting to the non-vandalized version.
Which can be accessed via the history tab. An alternative course of action, of course, is to contact a sysop. - 振霖T 03:14, 22 November 2005 (CST)
Sorry that I didn't do much in the whole vandal thing, but I'm kinda new to this whole wiki thing -- I tried looking for a 'help' or 'what-to-do' page, but there was nothing avalaible. Manga-in-a-bottle 01:41, 23 November 2005 (CST)

Sockpuppets

Please use only one account, User:User142-Someone. If you would like to have all your current edits moved to one account or the other, I can arrange for that. - 振霖T 03:14, 22 November 2005 (CST)

I am not Someone.User142 03:16, 22 November 2005 (CST)
If you say so. But as far as logs go (from November 13, 2005), you and Someone are the only unaccounted-for users with the same recorded IP address. But then again, I can appreciate that you are behind a university proxy server. - 振霖T 03:48, 22 November 2005 (CST)
I had the same problem last academic year at Wikipedia, when a user named Dittoboy kept blocking the university proxy server.User142 09:58, 24 November 2005 (CST)

Hoenn Pokemon

Please refrain from taking out the Hoenn Dex numbers on the PokeDex pages. They're there for a reason. Even though those Pokemon may not appear in the Hoenn region, you can still sort them into a Hoenn Dex order in Ruby/Sapphire once you trade with FireRed/LeafGreen. So they all have Hoenn Dex numbers (IE - Beginning with Treecko and ending with either Lugia or Celebi, I believe) despite them not appearing in the wild in Hoenn.

Vandals in your university

Perhaps you could try to get the cooperation of your university IT staff to find the culprits and have them blocked from accessing this site - surely, it must be against the rules to use the school internet connection for those activities. I can't block your university without blocking you as well. - 振霖T 02:57, 13 January 2006 (CST)

There may be no way to do this - there are several public internet computers scattered in this university. These computers are intended for students in all departments to do things related totheir studies, but there is no way of enforcing these rules. The Student Union here set up 8 computers in their building, in an other building there are about 50 computers, in each library (there are about 30) there is probably a few, etc.User142 | Talk 01:28, 15 January 2006 (CST)
This is becoming quite annoying... maybe I should restrict registration to a system like Gmail where you have to be invited by existing users. - 振霖T 04:19, 16 January 2006 (CST)
