User talk:Venustoise

Welcome

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Venustoise!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:

• For a basic overview of wiki code, see this page.
• The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
• The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
• The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
• The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
• On talk pages, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
• The use of link templates is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on shortlinks.
• If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.
• A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.
• For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).
• If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Venustoise/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
• A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found here.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! TTEchidna 06:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Stop it

Stop putting Bulbasaur's gender as male. It isn't confirmed until someone says "he" and that's that. We need to stay neutral otherwise. --☆ケンジガール 02:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk Page Comments

Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like Big Johnno, who got into an edit war with a sysop over comments the former had erased and was trying to keep erased. That user ended up blocked and subsequently had every erased comment restored. --Shiningpikablu252 01:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Button Preview

May I suggest you check out the preview button? All the cool kids are doing it! But seriously, you've edited some pages more than once, and it tends to clog the recent changes a bit. -- MAGNEDETH 23:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Dude, you don't have to say those first two sentences like that, please... I'll also have you know I do use it sometimes. - unsigned comment from Venustoise (talk • contribs)

well, if you dont have a sense of humor thats fine... -- MAGNEDETH 23:42, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Please, just stop. I know what your trying to say, it's just you could've put it in a more mature way.
