User talk:Ryan McGlade

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Ryan McGlade!

Thank you for joining our community! By creating an account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. This is a brief introduction to Bulbapedia's rules and resources to help you get started: All users are expected to follow the code of conduct and to be kind to one another. If you have a question, check out our FAQ; the manual of style provides detailed editing guidance, and the wikicode page provides details about how to use wikicode. You can always ask for help by contacting a staff member. Please preview your edits before saving them; this helps you double-check your changes and reduces the need for repeated minor edits. Use talk pages to discuss changes and resolve editing disputes. Creating a userpage is allowed after you've added to the encyclopedia; for more details, see the userspace policy. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment. For more handy links and information, check out the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!       Thespeon196 (talk) 00:05, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Trivia removal

Is there a reason why you're going around removing such a vast amount of notable trivia from over 50 pages? I would say such a huge change to content is better off discussed first. → SuperPikaPool13 20:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

To follow up on this, the trivia you've removed we consider notable enough to be included so please don't keep going back and deleting it.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 23:27, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

3-day block for edit warring

You have been blocked from editing for 3 days due to edit warring across multiple pages without an attempt to discuss the changes. Please, use talk pages to resolve content disputes instead of repeatedly reverting back-and-forth with other users. If you have any questions for staff or would like to discuss why you feel the content should be removed, please feel free to respond here. Thank you. Landfish7 23:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Party template testing

Hey there! I noticed you testing the Party template earlier. Just to let you know, a much better way to test things like this is by using the Preview Button after you've made a change, in order to see the effects without ever actually saving the page. This helps to cut down the number of changes in quick succession to the same page, and keeps the page history cleaner. Alternatively, the Sandbox can be used to test changes to templates, and these changes can be saved if required (though the Preview Button should be used if at all possible here too!). If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here, or on any staff member's talk page! Thespeon196 (talk) 23:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

If I go to Sandbox to edit I won't get interrupted by making some changes to my Pokémon teams if I'm just testing on there?! Ryan McGlade (talk) 22:25, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Where's the Preview Button here?! Ryan McGlade (talk) 22:27, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

The preview button is the button at the bottom of the editing window that says "Show preview". Clicking this will bring up a preview of your edits without publishing them to the site. You can then make more edits and keep previewing them until the edit is ready to be saved. Landfish7 22:33, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks & should've been more clearer since all I ever was doing is putting my teams together from my playthroughs of the games I've completed in just to remember them here Ryan McGlade (talk) 22:43, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Userspace policy violations

Hi, if you continue to violate the userspace policy by constantly editing your user page without making constructive mainspace edits, the privileges will be revoked until you consistently show meaningful contributions to the mainspace. You have already been asked to use the preview button on the Bulbapedia Sandbox which does not require you to save your edits, but still allows you to use the template in whatever way you'd like. Minibug (talk) 13:00, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

As you have continued to edit the userspace, and haven't responded to your talk page, you have been blocked for a week. → SuperPikaPool13 15:50, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Userspace block

Hi there. Despite warnings from staff, and a subsequent 1-week block, you have continued to violate the userspace policy by making personal edits to your userspace without making any constructive edits to the mainspace. This is not acceptable, and as a result, you have been blocked from editing your userspace indefinitely.

Editing the userspace is a privilege earned by users who contribute to the improvement of Bulbapedia. The primary focus of your edits should be to expand and improve the encyclopedic content in the mainspace.

Our hope is that you will now use your time here to make helpful contributions to the site. If you are able to demonstrate that you can make these contributions to the encyclopedia, by making a large number of constructive edits to the mainspace over a long period of time, your userspace block may be eligible for appeal in the future.

Any attempt to circumvent this userspace block by making personal edits to any other area of the site, such as talk pages, the community sandbox, or template pages, as if it was your userspace, will result in a total loss of editing privileges. Thespeon196 (talk) 22:39, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
