Session

Has the session timeout length been shortened? Lately it seems like I turn around for a minute to do something else, and I suddenly have to log in again.( Again, you can just answer here). -- WikidSmaht 16:49, 19 March 2006 (CST)

I do not know - perhaps it is a server issue. - 振霖_T 18:49, 19 March 2006 (CST)

Edit count

Hi. A question: how do you made the edit count in your subpage? Regards, --Slade 02:31, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Bureaucratic powers

I think I should be classified as a bureaucrat, not just a sysop. The "Authority" section of Bulbapedia:Editorial board says I should be one (as it stands now I can't revoke/give power). If you could change that, it'd be great. Thanks. --Argy 04:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Redirects

All right, I think overall redirects for episode titles are done. However, as long as I'm on this orienteering kick - would it be overkill to, say, have Episode 5 redirect to EP005, or Advanced Generation Episode 57 redirect to AG057? Or having redirects of the Japanese names of Pokémon to their English-name articles, both literal and romanized, like Sandopan and Sandpan redirect to Sandslash (Pokémon)? I mean, if so, I'll leave those things to BulbaBot, but... --Pie 18:57, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

It's overkill for neither. All four sets of redirects you mentioned would be ideal. If I were new and I wanted to search for a particular episode, I wouldn't know to input EP### or AG### instead of just a number. --Argy 04:33, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The episode redirects I can do. I would love to do the Pokémon redirects - I'm always searching for the equivalent English names, but I don't have the lists in a database, so that will have to be done later. - 振霖_T 07:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

What about using the List of Japanese Pokémon names? Or would that information have to be copied to somewhere else first? Admittedly, I don't know a lot about how BulbaBot works. --Pie 07:27, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The format is not exactly ideal - which is the problem. - 振霖_T 07:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you need help?

Do you need help with any article, I would be happy to help you with an article. I am best at editing parts related to the Video Games or Anime, if you want me to edit any article and help you, I would be very happy to do it for you. Helping others is a good idea, as it can get changes made quicker. If you want me to help, leave a message in my talk page. Thanks I Love Minun ^(talk) 19:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Arabic

• Quote from the Pokémon article on Wikipedia:

Pokémon has only belatedly made its way to the Islamic world, at this point, in Saudi Arabia. The driving point behind this factor is the belief that the trading card game promotes gambling with cards. In most moderate Islamic countries, such as Turkey and Pakistan, it poses no threat. In Iran, for example, the game is relatively popular, and the Pokémon logo and characters are widely recognizable in much of the Muslim world.

• Anyhow this is the site where I took the data: http://www.montada.com/archive/index.php/t-239629.html

There are also other sites with the same informations, but, if you think they aren't reliable, erase them. N.B: I don't speak Arabic so I can't guarantee for them.

Siegfried

Kind of. The (Gameboy only) GAMES didn't come here for a long while, the cards are hard to find now but were everywhere before- The Pokemon anime was here for a LONG time, but stopped after Johto Journeys, we never got the dub of Master Quest for some reason. I don't know why... I can read Arabic. ^^ -reads- ... My, was that BORING. xDD; That guy kept going on and on about Contests and stuff. -blink- I didn't find any information about what you're talking about on that particular topic.

The name of the topic, by the way is 'Advice to Game-players of Ruby and Sapphire Part Two.' --Musashi

About Japanese edition of Bulbapedia

Thank you give me a messege. I am interested in Japanese edition of Bulbapedia. But A already have Japanese edition of Pokemon encyclopedia . It use Mediawiki. This wiki was named by me to Pokemon Wiki(ポケモンWiki).
But this wiki has some problems.for Example Bulbapedia uses "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike" license,But Pokemon Wiki use no license.Of course,I think I admit use article of Pokemon Wiki to similar project.But Pokemon Wiki can't use same license.so,I think they can't admit use article of Bulbapedia and similar project to Pokemon Wiki.As other example Pokemon Wiki cannot help using web sarver space with advertisement.So,It can't use NonCommercial license. But if you want to connect link. Please write my page FPU.

P.S Mediawiki cleared same message when I clicked preview.I write short it again--FPU 16:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

User JavaScript

It's not a major concern to me personally if I can have custom JS or not. The main reason that I wanted it was the lack of a Redirect button on the article edit toolbar (like there is over at Wikipedia). If you allow user JS, great, if not, that's fine with me too. --TwinsMetsFan 03:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Pokémon physical data

Would it be possible to have a bot add height and weight (both metric and U.S.) to the Pokémon infoboxes? I could compile all the information if that's the biggest hurdle. If not, I'll probably just add them manually... --Argy 18:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes. I have all the information required for a infobox expansion to match the one on the Japanese site. Problem: the conversion to imperial units may be incorrect due to differences in rounding. I will need to work out the exact conversion algorithm first. - 振霖_T 23:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

The users registered by BulbaBot

Who are all those users BulbaBot registered today? User142 (Talk) 13:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

All users are registered that way now. - 振霖_T 01:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Why are you welcoming yourself?

Because i didn't get an automated welcome message.

Why, is it wrong?

No, nothing's wrong. ☆☆

Just out of curiosity

What instructions is Drapion repeatedly failing to follow? I'd say that would more apply to Sesler, but perhaps I'm just missing something. --Pie 01:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops, wrong user. - 振霖_T 06:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Images

Why can't I upload images??? (Jsmith 15:40, 16 September 2006 (UTC))

Perhaps because you are trying to upload to the wrong place? Try this page. - 振霖_T 17:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

List of Japanese Pokémon names

I've been working on adding the new Pokémon to the Japanese list, but I'm not very good at Romanization. I took all of the Katakana I could find direcly from screenshots on different sites, so I believe all of those are right, but I'm pretty sure some of my Romanizations are wrong. I would really like someone who is skilled at Japanese to take a look at it, and would really appreciate it if you would do it. Drapion 23:17, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry for a bad job I did....<_> (Jsmith 00:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC))

Questions

Hi, I'm a new user here, although rest assured I know all the rules, and use common sense. I was wondering; I see you have all the base data and etc. for Diamond and Pearl, so I had 2 questions:

1. How do you get this data? What tools do you use to obtain it from the game?
2. In R/S/E, all Pokémon had Hoenn numbers internally, to prevent Missingno. like glitches. Bulbasaur being 203, etc...they were in National order. So I was wondering here, does the same apply for Diamond and Pearl? Does every Pokémon internally have Shinou numbers? Bulbasaur being 152, etc...?

Sorry if these seem like stupid questions. Nice work, by the way. MK 01:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

1. By knowing what to look for. We write our own extraction tools.
2. No, all other Pokémon are assigned Shin'ō number 0, which shows up as #??? if you have not obtained the National Dex. - 振霖_T 07:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

1. I assume you play the game and look for changes in the RAM? Or possibly look for the base data in the hex of the ROM and find the pattern? I assume the latter.
2. That's odd... I know in my FireRed game, I initiated a trade with LeafGreen. In LeafGreen I had a Wobbuffet in my party, but FireRed did not have the national Pokédex. It still allowed me to pick which to trade and even look at Wobbuffet's status screen from FireRed, and it had the number #???, but it obviously would not allow me to trade it. So, I know it does this for Ruby and Sapphire, but I guess they abandoned the system after that. I'll have to look into it more... MK 08:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Categories

Point taken on things like evolution with Dragon Scale, Magma Booster,and Electro Booster. Should they all be moved to something like Category:Pokémon that evolve through a unique method? Tom Temprotran 06:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Quick Question

Hi! New member. I have a doubt: Is there a policy for Pokemon Icons? You know, the little moveing images that are ripped from the "Party Status" menu. May I add them or there is a rule against? Thanks. Gambler 06:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Is there something in particular you want to use it for? - 振霖_T 09:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

The abilities page and maybe in every article to put it to the left or rght of the name. Make it look more like a Pokedex or something. Gambler 16:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

That is excessive and will cause undue load in terms of bandwidth. - 振霖_T 03:41, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

A task for BulbaBot to do

I've started to put generation numbers on the Pokémon of generations 1 through 3. Can you please have BulbaBot finish this task? User142 (Talk) 18:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Bulbabot Task

Hey. I've noticed that pretty much no templates are in the Templates category. Any way you could have Bulbabot go through the entire Template: namespace and pop in <noinclude>[[Category:Templates]]</noinclude> to those that don't have it, please? Thanks in advance!

Images Crisis イメージクライシス

May you please tell me why I can't upload images on Bulbapedia Archives. Why is User: Taylor is the only one? He is the one that started that edit war when he was reverting or uploading an already existed image. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Image:PochamaVSSubomi%21_Hikari%27sFirstBattle%21.jpg. User: Taylor is changing the images that I searched for. It is a waste of time and replacing what I personally feel is better content. If a screenshot is already provided, which was provided by another user, and someone changes the image to a different verison it's plain and simply rude

No, it's not. Why just you choose the images? I had the idea of a screenshot to each episode. Why continue using NextOn images only? The best thing to do is choose one of episode images to show. NextOn images may be used while there are no episode screenshots. And I will continue reverting the images: This line is a sign that he will continue vandalizing and reverting the images that I reverted. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Taylor

User: Taylor choosed alot of images (Original Kanto, Johto Journeys, Advanced Battle and Battle Frontier, and the first 3 of Pokemon Advanced and the first 6 of Pokemon DP.

Why are you on his side. How can I be obstructing work when I am just uploading images that I like, and he is just changing the images and reverting them?

Please end this. (Jsmith 18:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC))

(Jsmith 18:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC))

You haven't done much to endear yourself to this administration. So don't complain when we have to pick sides that are equally guilty that we pick the one that hasn't caused us so many headaches. - 振霖_T 02:01, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean? So you are picking on me?

Why are you being unfair with me on the archives. Please unblock me. I think you are taking sides with Taylor. I want to upload images to it is A free enclyopedia which means anyone can edit. You are not being a good admin.

Because you are acting like an idiot who doesn't understand the meaning of the word no, because you start revert wars, because you use sockpuppets, because you evade bans, because your choice of pictures is ugly - there are plenty of reasons we could give. Also, I think it would be good for you to sit down and ponder this quote: Your freedom to swing your fist ends where my nose begins. - 振霖_T 06:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
