Comprised of

Perhaps I can't help but be a little sensitive about this since it was recently a small issue, but I just want to let you know that "comprised of" isn't really wrong. While it's not worth it (or, after a fashion, justified) for me to revert your edit, I also just want to let you know that it's not actually something that needs to be "fixed". Tiddlywinks (talk) 01:20, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

As Tiddlywinks mentioned "comprised of" isn't wrong, so it's not something that should be fixed. Also, rather than revert an edit, discuss it with the user that reverted you.--ForceFire 11:12, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Just out of passing interest, I read that article you linked. And I thank you for the laugh. The article is comprised of numerous bits of hilarity. I found it interesting that one user's edit history is comprised of 47,000 edits including changing many quotations. Changing quotations is grounds for dismissal from Wikipedia, and he should be banned. Use of "comprised of" is not a guideline on Wikipedia, but rather one user's warped opinion. Please do not try to enforce the views of someone whose edits are comprised of quotation changes, thereby falsifying quotations, into Bulbapedia. You wouldn't last long here like that, and I will now use comprised of in whatever way I can myself now that this has come to my attention because there is nothing wrong with it. Thank you.

ForceFire above told you to stop making edits like this, and now you are making more like this and this. You most surely remember this warning, as evidenced in your recent participation in User talk:ShinyGiratina#Comprised. Once again, please cease your war on this phrase.

I never actually received a warning, I did about the Kenya thing but not about this. You stated that they were "not needed" but revering them is not needed. You never explained why "comprised of" is incorrect.Ratchet and Clank 1995 (talk) 18:51, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry "correct"Ratchet and Clank 1995 (talk) 18:52, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

I meant "warning" a bit loosely. Also, this is not about me; it's about ForceFire's directions ("[comprised of is] not something that should be fixed"; ForceFire being a staff member, on the off chance you weren't clear on that).

Anywho, at this point, it's probably better if I just leave the rest to staff to sort out. Tiddlywinks (talk) 19:25, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@CycloneGU: Changing quotations is not actually grounds for dismissal on Wikipedia as you are allowed to paraphrase quotations so long as you keep the original person's meaning. It doesn't "falsify" quotations because by this logic if I translate someone's quote from let's say French to English does it falsify it? No it doesn't. You stated that there is nothing wrong with "comprised of" please explain why there isn't because if there truly isn't anything wrong with it why would anyone try to change it? There is something rather obviously wrong with it because comprises means "contains" so "comprised of" basically means "contained of" you wouldn't change "contains" to "contained of" and expect it to have the same meaning so treat "comprises" in the same way. The reason why I linked the article was because it gave an example where it says "This book comprises three chapters" and "This book is comprised of three chapters" don't mean the same thing because the latter is like saying "The book is contained within three chapters" that sentence doesn't make any sense so at least if an alternative is used it would avoid this issue. Thank you.Ratchet and Clank 1995 (talk) 11:30, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

The Preview Button

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --Tyler53841 (talk) 22:48, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Yeah sorry about that, it was just when I was editing the page, I though I removed all of the irrelevant information but then I kept realising that more information should be removed. I'll try to do what you stated in the future.Ratchet and Clank 1995 (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

"Talk:ROM hacks"

Why did you change it? Lokki(Talk) 14:09, 11 August 2015

Talk pages are meant to discuss improvements to the article, per Talk page policy. Meanwhile, the associated page was changed to only list notable hacks. Linking a full list of hacks has little to do with improving an article. Berrenta (talk) 13:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Berrenta answered your question for me. I thank him/her for the response. If anything I answered the question in the edit summary, the page should not be used to advertise ROM hacks and should only be used to discuss how the article should be improved.

Edit waing

If you have a problem with an edit, do not just simply revert them again and again. Discuss it with the user that reverted you. Yes, that is what you did, but you still reverted the edit anyway. Again, if you don't like an edit, go to the user first don't revert it.--ForceFire 12:14, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

I did go to your page before, you just took a while to respond, in addition the information in the edit summary didn't really explain why the information should remain on the page.Ratchet and Clank 1995 (talk) 12:31, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Then you wait for my response. No response does not mean you can just revert the edit. Have a little patience.--ForceFire 12:43, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm sure you don't "need" a reminder, but I really hate hate idea of perpetually playing out your disagreement on the Pokémon world in relation to the real world‎‎ page itself...

Do not edit war. Discuss your issue. If discussion cannot bring the solution you want: too bad. You do not get your way simply by continually trying to make the article like you want it to be. Thank you. Tiddlywinks (talk) 23:55, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Block

Hello. Due to you continual edit warring one multiple pages on a subject you have been told to drop, you have been given a 30 day block. During this block, I want you to understand that if you don't like how things are done, you have to discuss it with others first. Do not just go ahead and make the edits, and do not just continually revert them when they get reverted. Thank you.--ForceFire 07:02, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm not the only person who believes that "comprised of" is incorrect. SnorlaxMonster reverted your edit on the Sinnoh page to replace "comprised of" with "composed of" why don't you drop the issue and just allow people to replace "comprised of" with an alternative as it would avoid all of the issues associated with "comprised of". Did any of the edits make the pages worse? No I don't think so and you didn't exactly give a reason for reverting my edits.Ratchet and Clank 1995 (talk) 11:16, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Blocked, again

I have clearly, clearly stated why the Kenya point stays and you simply refuse to let it go. I have also clearly, clearly stated why the Paris point may not be a reference to the city, but you refuse to take the hint. I have clearly, clearly said to let this go, but you simply refuse to let it go. You do not, do not continue adding back/removing information. You do not, do not make edits just to get your way. You are being salty and your attitude is not helping your situation. If you come back here after your block to do the same thing, I may not be so lenient.--ForceFire 03:55, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
