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 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)
Sorry for blocking you
I accidentally blocked you when I meant to block User:Link Remover, and I apologize. Woopert Woopert 07:00, 8 December 2005 (CST)
