| '''End Tyranny on Bulbapedia NOW!'''
| |
|
| |
| It's been three months, but I'm back. Did ya miss me?
| |
|
| |
| Where was I? I was blocked by [[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] for disagreeing with him on the features of {{type2|Dark}} pokemon. He comes to my page, starts an argument and blocks me. He thought I didn't know he was an admin and that blocking me would intimidate me into fearing him when he's nothing more than a common cyber brute!
| |
|
| |
| This needs to end, Bulbapedia should be a place where loyal pokemon fans can store as much data about Pokemon as they can. It's not fair that I got a three-month when I only tried to help and he came to my page in hostility; this isn't responsible execution of authority. Surely there are real vandals out there in need of punishment.
| |
|
| |
| I don't mean to bite the hand that feeds, but that just wasn't right.
| |
|
| |
| There, now you've read my brief perspective of the story. I believe we should petition for mediation, I believe we should petition for better selection of our administrators and better treatment from them.

| The people who made edits after the first one did not change the box. They changed categories, etc. If you want to change the picture, just put <code><nowiki>{{User Blah|NUMBER}}</nowiki></code> when you put it on your userpage. If you want to change the colour, you will have to copy the whole code. <span style="background:#000000">[[User:Porygon-Z|<span style="color:#00BFFF">'''Por'''</span>]][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|<span style="color:#FF1493">'''ygo'''</span>]][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|<span style="color:#00BFFF">'''n-Z'''</span>]]</span> 18:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

| |
| :If I might add, the main reason people shouldn't edit those boxes is because so many other users already use them. Changing colors may be a simple thing, but unless all/most of the other people using the box agree with the change, it's not really fair to just edit it. You'd end up with users fighting over which color it should be. Better to leave suggestions on the talk pages, like you did on a few of them. :D --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 22:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

| The template is divided by physical and special columns based on how the attacks went prior to [[Generation IV]]. Your edits basically made it look like {{t|Dark}}-type attacks were physical and {{t|Ghost}}-type attacks were special prior to the split when, in fact, the reverse is true (Ghost was physical, Dark was special). As such, your edits to that template constitute vandalism. Please don't do it again. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

|
| |
| ::It's vandalism because you were inserting false information. The reason the template is like that is because that's how attacks worked in [[Generation III]] and before, before the physical/special split in [[Generation IV]] rendered the type-based attack classification categories obsolete. Someone screwing up and making every Dark-type attack except one physical in Generation IV does not change the fact Dark-type attacks were special in Generation III.
| |
|
| |
| ::If your "how it is now" philosophy WERE to be applied to that template, the correct action would be eliminating the columns, since "how it is now" is physical and special not even depending on type. You had zero reason to make those edits the way you did.

| I think you're on to a good idea here, and I'd like to give you a hand. I wouldn't hold your breath for extra powers though, I highly doubt we'd get admin (the next highest editing privilege up from standard editor) just for wanting to be nice to people :( Still it's worth a shot. I feel there's a big need here for some "power control", as you can probably tell from my UT page and some other talk page contribs. :D — <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] — 07:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

| :Lol interesting discussion page. Well, adminship would be nice, but I really want to make sure that the ones we have are doing what they're supposed to be doing. As you can see from the top of my userpage I had a run-in with a very nasty admin before and it disturbs me to know that they would allow someone with such anger issues to be an admin on such an otherwise great site like this (though in my experience that's often the way it goes, you don't really see things like this on Wikipedia because there's so many admins and regulations keeping things in check, on smaller ones there's fewer and so the likelihood of running into a God-mod is bigger). --[[User talk:Venomoth|☯ ]][[User:Venomoth|*Ɣℯⲛօӎօṫհ*]][[User talk:Venomoth| ☯]] 23:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

| Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the {{bp|mainspace}}. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage.

With that said, your recent contribution Template:Pkm was not required. The word Pokémon isn't terribly hard to write using alt-codes (e.g. Alt+130) or the character palette below the screen.
