Please know and use the Manual of style. Also, be sure to always categorize new pages. --PAK Man ^Talk 00:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

When linking to Pokémon articles, please use the {{P}} link template. For example, use {{p|Venusaur}} instead of [[Venusaur]]. Otherwise, you might accidentally link to a disambiguation page. Thank you. --PAK Man ^Talk 19:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Just like Pokémon, moves have their own link template: {{M}}. Use it the same way as you would use the {{P}} template. --PAK Man ^Talk 17:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Slowpoke article

Ummm, dude, what are you trying to do? You keep editing back and forth, adding and deleting the same sentence... --ElectAbuzzzz 15:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: Well I keep adding that sentence in the wrong place.--Golbat 15:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Your edits seem to sometimes change foreign characters into question marks. Do you know why this is happening? If so, is there any way you can prevent it from happening...? --Pie ^~?? 03:59, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: Uhhh... What?

Do you see here, how you changed the Japanese characters of Nurse Joy's voice actors into question marks? That's not the only time you've done that. --Pie ^~?? 17:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: Well I don't mean to do it.

It's probably because you don't have data for Japanese characters installed on your computer, hmm. -Happy Mask Man 20:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that it happens only in certain instances, and not to all the characters in an article, it seems. Plus, even if his system didn't display the characters, it shouldn't replace them, I think... not unless he's copying and pasting text into another program which doesn't support the characters. That's how we get a lot of those damn "smart" quotes into our articles: people editing in Word, which automatically changes them... but that's why I asked if he knew why it was happening. --Pie ^~?? 21:13, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: ??????

And that would be why my question went unanswered. Okay, let me put this in simpler terms. When you're editing in this editor, there's no reason why characters would be replaced with question marks even if your computer doesn't support the characters, because you're not editing the data. Note that the music notes in my signature aren't turning into question marks; those are special characters too, though not foreign characters.

I want to know if, when doing edits like for the Nurse Joy article, you did something that would edit the data even though you weren't editing that part. That seems the most likely to me. Did you copy the text into a program like Microsoft Word, and edit it there? --Pie ^~?? 21:25, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: no. I have no idea what Microsoft world is.

Microsoft Word. The text editing program.

Look, you just did SOMETHING differently this time, because like I said would happen, all the music notes were replaced with question marks. What did you do differently? --Pie ^~?? 21:35, 29 July

Response: The only thing I did differnt is type { { p | like PAK Man told me too. *these were thogether _________________^*

Yeah, right. No, really, what did you do differently between this edit and this edit? --Pie ^~?? 03:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: I did nothing different other than {p|} from []

Look at the links I posted, now. You did not use the {{p}} template in the second one and yet all the music notes converted. I want a more detailed description of what you are specifically doing to edit these pages, and I want it now. --Pie ^~♪♫ 18:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: Well I click edit, type Response, and then answer to you or Happy Mask Man.

First off, by the way? There's no need to type "Response". And second, something is still not adding up, because it's still only at isolated points, and there is no connection between those points and usage of the template. Is there any way you do it differently, sometimes? --Pie ^~♪♫ 19:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: How do you type those letters like pie did?

If you mean the Japanese characters, your computer has to have support for them. What operating system is your computer running? -Happy Mask Man 20:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: Yeah I got a response, uh, what???

You know, like Windows XP and Mac OS... -Happy Mask Man 20:36, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: OHHHH that jazz well I run on windows ME.
