User talk:ExLight

Welcome to Bulbapedia, ExLight!

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!   --ZestyCactus 02:28, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Edit Warring

If a user removes an edit you made, do not simply re-add it; that is considered edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you disagree with the removal of your edit, bring it up on the talk page of the article or the talk page of the user who reverted your edit. In the case of your edit, "goll" is not even a word. Do not make up words and declare them to be part of a Pokémon's name origin. Thank you. --Carmen★ (Talk | contribs) 00:34, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

ugh, sorry 'bout it. The word goll does exist tho.

Again, when someone reverts your edit, you are supposed to start a discussion and not re-do your edit until you reach an accord. After you've found proof of the bullete's copyright status, contact an Editorial Board member about adding it. glik^glak 19:20, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but if a member just undo some edits without providing a decent reason for doing so I feel like he's the one who should explain himself. As I stated previously on my edit, Bulette doesn't seem and isn't copyrighted, which was his only point and worry; even so he kept editing frenetically based on a biased assumption that can be clarified on a quick search.

The list of creatures treated as trademark products are the following: beholder, gauth, carrion crawler, displacer beast, githyanki, githzerai, kuo-toa, mind flayer, slaad, umber hulk, and yuan-ti.

So, from the very beginning the edit was alright. And when I mentioned a staff interference I meant one to verify the Origin viability, not related to copyright. So, will I really need a Editorial Board member to re-add a perfectly-fine-from-the-start post?

Anyway, if so, any specific Editorial Board members I should contact?

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! --Tiddlywinks (talk) 12:57, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

oops, sorry 'bout it. It's kinda awkward but sometimes I see the need for some really small changes/corrections and so I just it. Didn't think this would be inconvenient.

I hope I didn't break any kind of rule. ExLight (talk) 15:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
