Welcome to Bulbapedia, RainbowDelta!

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. 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!

Dragonite/Charizard

Just a heads up, Dragonite and Charizard may be similarly shaped and colored, but nobody mistakes one for the other. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 01:00, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Maybe you should stop. While Charizard and Dragonite do share some physical similarities, your edits keep getting reverted. It's not a good idea to keep adding stuff back in that people keep taking out, unless of course someone's doing so to important information, that's called vandalism. Anyway, re-adding such stuff would constitute an edit war, a great way to get yourself blocked. Also, I noticed you linked to the Charizard article with ][[Charizard]]. When linking to a Pokémon's species page, it's preferred to use a link template, like so; {{p|Charizard}} links directly to the Charizard article, without the need for the redirect to get involved. There's also link templates for moves and abilities. So it'd be {{m|Sludge}}, not [[Sludge]], and {{a|Levitate}}, not [[Levitate]]. Just remember that, OK? - unsigned comment from Missingno.
