User talk:YoungMan16

Welcome to Bulbapedia, YoungMan16!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules: Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct. Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around. Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page. Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style. You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy. Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page. If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite. 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, see the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!   Abcboy (talk) 01:36, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Item names

In-game items exclusively use katakana and hiragana in their names, and the Japanese names used on the item pages should reflect that, regardless of how it would be formatted in the TCG or otherwise. --Abcboy (talk) 01:36, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Your edit to Mareep

Unless the words you're applying will completely change the meaning of a sentence in a beneficial way for an article, there is simply no need to do what you did to the Mareep article. Thank you. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Moves

Do not assume moves unless they were explicitly said or have a unique animation, which Sludge Wave does not. Thank you.--ForceFire 17:20, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Help with PoGO pages

Hey, I've seen you've been very active in fixing up the PoGO-related parts here. I do need a favor if you don't mind.

With Kalos out, many of the moves' learnsets have been updated. I've compiled all the current learnlists here: https://pastebin.com/raw/8H1aYbe5 (This is most easily viewed if copy-pasted onto a spreadsheet.)

If you have the time and can help copy-paste any Kalos Pokemon to the end of users= fields in the Moves' pages, that would be much appreciated. I wouldn't mind the redlinks- we're simply behind on uploading those.

Thanks! TehPerson (talk) 00:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Sure, I'll help out with that. YoungMan16 (talk) 00:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Updating Raid Battle listings

I notice you've been the only one lately who's made some effort trying to keep the Raid Boss listings updated. I used to do this using a spreadsheet & script to generate the templates, but couldn't commit to continuously updating. So instead, I've parsed out every possible template and placed them here: Talk:Raid_Battle#Copy-Paste_for_Updating_Listings. And from there, all someone has to do is copy-paste the current Raid Boss's entries into the Raid Battle page. Hopefully, if you still want to help maintain the listings, this will save you some work. TehPerson (talk) 18:12, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Synopsis improvements

I must say, the work you've done with improving various episode synopsis has been very admirable, IMO. Good work! Seeing your edits, for a while now, I've intended to ask your help with the synopsis of DP177. I did some cleanup with it earlier this year, but I feel even more cleanup could be done with it. Could you perhaps take a look at it if/when you feel like it? Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 22:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, sure thing. YoungMan16 (talk) 22:41, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Much appreciated. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 22:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Super effective vs Supereffective

In the games, the term is always two words. May I ask why you are using the one-word variant? --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 21:37, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I was going in accordance with the manual of style's rule on how super effective is written. YoungMan16 (talk) 21:41, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh. I wonder where that came from. I thought the rule was just to write the word without a hyphen, but maybe I just didn't know all of it. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 21:46, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

New policy about linking

Hi, regarding your recent edits such as this one, I wanted to let you know the linking policy was recently updated (see: Bulbapedia:Spoilers → Character pages about a Trainer's Pokémon). Thus, we now prefer linking to redirects such as Arboliva (anime) on pages where its real trainer has not been revealed yet. If you have any questions, feel free to message a member of staff. Thank you, and happy editing! → SuperPikaPool13 20:29, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Oh, okay! Thanks for telling me. YoungMan16 (talk) 20:30, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
