Hi Jo, I was wondering if you knew the name of Bulbapedia's IRC channel? I know there's a direct link to it in the side navbar, but my laptop doesn't seem to recognise <code>irc://</code> as a web address, and I can't find the name anywhere else.

Curious when the best time to message this user is?
This user is usually online from 9:00AM - 1:00AM.
It is currently 5:46 PM in her time zone!

The last person to leave a message was Ronan! They're a boy!
Here's a small little list of guidelines I expect to be followed on my talk page:
  • Please use English. It's not that I'm against other languages, it's just...how am I suppose to respond when I don't know what you said?
  • Please do not respond for me. I don't mind people tacking on their own questions to a discussion that's already been made, even before I have the chance to answer the initial post. But when someone personally has come here to ask me a question, don't answer for me. And if someone has answered for me, please don't take their word for my own. I can guarantee you that almost no one on this site knows me as well as I do. If you want my opinion, you wait for my response.

    Leave new messages at the bottom of this page.

Eevee brothers

Mikey is actually an eevee brother because at the end of the episode one of them say to him they are truely the eevee brothers. - unsigned comment from Yoster10 (talkcontribs)

I know. But he also has his own page here while his brothers only share a collective page. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 23:09, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok then fair enough, but dont you think he should be on the page. - unsigned comment from Yoster10 (talkcontribs)

Mikey is mentioned on the page, but it also links to his main article. It's like when a Pokémon has an article. We link to their article, not to their table on their trainer's page. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 23:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

This is a bit of a wierd question and you will probably say no but do you have any legendaries you are willing to trade for non-legendaries because on monday i am getting the final Pokémon i need to obtain all non-legendaries so i need just 8 legendaries left which are: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Darkrai, Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect. - unsigned comment from Yoster10 (talkcontribs)

I don't own a Keldeo, Meloette, or Genesect, and I'm not interested in trading any of my others. Plus I've had issues with wi-fi lately. Sorry. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 01:21, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

It's ok i was just wondering. Yoster10 13:11, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Orange Islands Who's That Pokemon?

Do you also need me to obtain the images for the English Who's That Pokemon? from the Orange Islands saga? Since I also have that whole box set as well. I am almost done with the Pokemon Master Quest, since I am going to work on the second box set today. --Lady Ariel 17:59, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Sure, that'd be fine. Just be sure to use this for the summary when you upload (and of course change everything accordingly). Thanks again for all your help. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 18:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

User Page

On your user page it shows Pokémon in circles at the top how could i do that please if it is ok for me to do. Yoster10 18:33, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

You can use it as a base, but try to add your own unique twist to it. Here's a base code with nothing in it:
{| width="64px" height="64px" align="center" style="{{roundy|80px}}; border: 5px solid #000000; background: #FFFFFF;"  
| style="{{roundy|150px}} background: #FFFFFF;"| [[File:None.png]]
|}

Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 18:39, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Cheers. Yoster10 18:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC) I tried to put in a picture and i put down smaller sizes but when i added the picture this happened.

151Mew.png

Do you know how i can make it smaller and take off the rectangles at the bottom and top. Yoster10 19:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Those rectangles are your border. I've made the image smaller for you. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 19:26, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

What about the extra space at the bottom can that be taken off by any chance. Yoster10 19:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Did you only want one circle? I was under the impression you wanted the whole circle with four Pokémon. In that case, I've edited the code accordingly. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 19:40, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for that you are a big help. Yoster10 19:45, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Watchlist.

When i go onto my watchlist i see numbers such as (+249) and (-59), what does this mean? Yoster10 21:19, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

That's the number of bytes have been added/removed in the edit. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 21:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. Yoster10 21:22, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Whoops

I somehow managed to put a welcome template on a user's page instead of their talk page. Since you're an admin, would you mind fixing it for me? --Darth Zekrom 02:03, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

All fixed. Have a nice evening.Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 02:45, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Template: MftE

Just a minor thing: Trom didn't change his Haunter to a Winter Sawsbuck in the permitted editors list on the page...--SandmanDP 02:34, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

That's because he only did it so it'd match the winter-themed main page back during December. He's still represented by a Haunter. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 02:37, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Oops, my mistake. I forgot how long it's been since it was updated...--SandmanDP 02:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Spellcheck

Just letting you know, because of my less than good spelling, I've given others permission to fix them Diamond Lanturn CodeName: 05308 09:37, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Page.

There was no content on the page because i was creating it, could you please undo your deletion please. if you cannot i will just recreate it and add the content. Yoster10 19:07, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Do not threaten an administrator. By the way, the page was previously here [1] but was redirected over three years ago--SandmanDP 19:11, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

@Yoster: I won't restore it, and if you make it again, I will protect it from creation. If you look at Duplica's page, we can see that Mini-Dit barely has any content in its table. I think that's a tell-tale sign that it's simply not notable enough for its own page. The next time you start an article, give it more substance. Pages with just the infobox and opening sentence will be deleted.
@Sandman: Please don't butt into a conversation you're not a part of, or respond for me. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 19:14, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Other users do it all the time on behalf of the intended user. I was only trying to help. . PS you may wanna protect this too[2]--SandmanDP 19:18, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I was not being threatening, if you are reffering to where i said 'i will just recreate it and add the content.' i meant that if you are unable to undo the deletion then i would not mind recreating. If i was being threatening then i would of said "if you do not undo your deletion then i will recreate it". I looked at that link and what i already done (including what you did not see) looked better so i suggest that you allow me to be able to do mine instead of that please.Yoster10 19:19, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

It was still said threateningly. Just because you meant it that way doesn't mean the original connotation changed back to your intention--SandmanDP 19:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok then i phrased it wrong, but that does not mean i am threatening him. Yoster10 19:26, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

@Sandman: That's the user's decision, but if it's on a staff member's page, leave it to the staff member to respond.
@Yoster10: When users use all capital letters, it is seen as shouting, and in turn makes it sound rude. I'll leave it to the anime head to decide if it's notable or not. But considering it doesn't meet the notablility requirements, I doubt it will be made into a page. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 19:29, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Mini-Dit actually had a page at one point, but it was deemed unnotable and redirected in November 2008. -- MAGNEDETH 19:32, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I did not use all capital letters anywhere, i only use capital letters when i am starting a new sentence or writing a name or any other reason because that is proper-English-grammer.- unsigned comment from Yoster10 (talkcontribs)

While that may be true, you basically said "If you don't do what I want I will defy you using alternative methods no matter what you say". That's pretty threatening--SandmanDP 19:55, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
@Yoster10: Case in point.
@Sandman: Sandman, please, this is my talk page. I would really appreciate it if you'd leave the conversation. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I never said that in any sort, what i basically said was "if you cannot undo it then i do not mind recreating it." Please just look at what i said carefully because i think you and Jo The Marten have looked at what i said in the wrong way and jumped to conclusion. Yoster10 20:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Since you're now in a state of infuriating denial, I will follow Jo's orders and leave this to her--SandmanDP 20:05, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

@Jo The Marten i looked at the link you put and i do not recall putting that in capital letters, if i did then that means i accentually done that because usually when i type the letter 'a' i accentually click the 'Cap Lock' button. Yoster10 20:07, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

@SandmanDP i am not in denial i am just stubborn. Yoster10 20:09, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough. You changed it, so it seemed you were aware of it at the time. But yeah, it comes down to: Mini-Dit isn't getting a page. Next time, check the notability requirements, and if you're still not sure, ask Kenji-girl. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:11, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok then i shall end it then, i think i was drawing a blank then because i really do not remember doing capitals but seeing you have the evidence i will leave you alone then. Sorry for the trouble i have caused you. Yoster10 20:13, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

General Pokemon B/W Question

Do Pokemon B/W games, or any other Pokemon games reset on their own once you have a certain number of hours on a game? I've heard that the maximum time that can be set in a saved file is 999:57. What happens when my game reaches that - does the time just reset, or will my saved game delete itself? Judgement 01:43, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Nope. A few of my games have reached 999:59 and the time just stops. But it doesn't affect the gameplay at all.Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 02:04, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Judgement 20:36, 17 January 2012 (UTC)


i'm confused

Hi, I just made my Bulbapedia account, and I went to my homepage and it says you deleted my account. Could you tell me if you did and if so, why? Carson 07:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I didn't delete your account. Crystal Talian accidentally put a welcome template on your userpage instead of your talkpage, and so I deleted your userpage after she fixed her mistake. You should still be able to create your page once you've done some work around the site, so it's not a big deal. You're not in any trouble or anything. Also, your signature should reflect your username in some way so people can immediately tell who they're talking to. For more info see the Signature policy. Have a nice day. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 07:33, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Okay thanks!

Curiosity Question

Hello. I wan to ask something. Can a regular user (like me) greet a "newcomer"? (sorry I forgot the correct term) If I can, may I?

P.S. if I posted it in the "wrong place", I'll give my apologies (I'm not used with "sophisticated" talkpages like yours :) I say its cool. :) )


--This is Harv13 10:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

We prefer that people who welcome new users are constructive users that have been around for a while, since it's likely the new user will go to whoever welcomed them for help and advice. But you fit that category well enough, so I don't see any reason why you can't welcome new users. Go right ahead. Just put {{subst:welcome}} on a new user's talk, or click on it in the toolbar below, and it'll come up with the welcome message. Though just so it's put on the table, if there's someone that registered a while ago, and they haven't been welcomed, make sure they weren't blocked for some reason. We don't welcome users that are blocked indefinitely. Also, I'll answer just about any general question to the best of my abilities, as will the rest of the admins (Junior, regular, senior). There's no need to feel intimidated. With all that in mind, have fun welcoming the new users. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 10:43, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


Ah, I see. Thanks for the answer. I'll try to do it once. (when there's one to welcome to. But maybe a little bit later.)

Black Tyranitar

Can I ask why you altered the edit summary for this? There wasnt any sort of copyright infringement involved. Vuvuzela2010 Δ 01:12, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

We're not supposed to link to Serebii or any other unreliable, or unofficial site as reference. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 01:20, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

HEY!

Not that you can capture tornadus pre-ending. Somebody did it. Of course you don't know cause you have completed the game.--My r6g4rdz, TEH GIGA-UBER-1337-HAX0R(Mr-ex777) 09:50, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Would you mind showing some form of proof? Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 09:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Never mind, I checked the official source. It says nothing about the pair being post-ending whereas it labels everything else that is post-ending. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 10:02, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Mrwhatever

has performed several vandalism-type edits, has not defended himself, and has not discussed his POVs on talk pages. He needs a block longer than 3 months.--Muk-a-matic-Maketh the Muk go round... 09:05, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't necessarily call his edits "vandal-like" from what I've seen. (Unless I'm missing something.) They just seem misguided, and while they should state their reasonings, I don't think it warrants a three month+ block. Help to drive them in the right direction, and if they disregard these advises, then we can think about a short block. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 09:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Okay to replace the current photo with the english FA?

Bluefinancier 14:32, 29 January 2012 (UTC)bluefinancier

You need to upload over the old file instead of simply uploading it as if it's a different file. You have to keep the naming standard for TCG card files. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

AG068

I wrote in AG068 "For the first time in the Pokemon anime, battle is lost due to trainer was unable to fight", you removed this addition.

And in which episode was it? I mean that the trainer is unable to battle, but does not refuse to continue it. Rootaria 15:54, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I'd say in EP001; Pikachu is incapacitated by the Spearow, leaving Ash with no more Pokémon to use. If not that, then maybe one of the early Team Rocket battles (before they started blasting off), any of the gym battles Ash (or anyone else) lost, or even the Leagues. Needless to say, battles losing by running out of usable Pokémon are fairly common place material. I don't think we should really point it out, anyway. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 16:01, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

It's usual situation when the trainer has left no Pokemon and so couldn't continue the battle. In AG068 Ash was hit by Ember and fell into a swoon although his Pokemon (Taillow) was not hurt. That's why he lose the battle with May and this situation is unusual. What do you think about it?

Rootaria 16:42, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Android Question

Well, as I've been looking around, I haven't been able to find any kind of android app based on the fantastic content on this site. I was wonder, is there an app in development? And if there is, is there any way I might be able to assist with the process? If not, I would be more than happy to volunteer to develop such an app. --Lord Pent 20:30, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

No, I do not believe anyone is making an app for Bulbapedia. If I recall, I think it would be illegal since no one here owns Pokémon? But I could be wrong. If you like, bring it up here and see what someone else says. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:38, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
We were looking into working with the creators of one of the Pokedex apps to create one when Nintendo issued cease and desist notices to the creators of all Pokedex/similar apps. Basically, Nintendo has made their stance clear - they draw the line between fansites and apps. Thus there will not be a Bulbapedia app created for either android or ipod/iphone in the near future.

Rarity

its not unkown that is why im changing it to rare because i can find 5 in 5 min - - unsigned comment from Pokemonlover91 (talkcontribs)

Nimbasa City

Um can I please know why you erased the photo I put? - unsigned comment from MaidensGhost (talkcontribs)

Because cities featured in the main series must have an in-game screenshot in their infobox. Anime screenshots belong in the "In the anime" section. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 02:25, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Ok thanks for explaining. (ღMaidensGhostღ 04:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC))

How did it happen!

Hi! I'm new to bulbapedia.I recently expanded an article using another article's info and it got deleted.Was I doing something wrong or is someone playing a prank on me?


--Shravs 13:13, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

If you're referring to your addition to International Police, it's because it didn't meet Bulbapedia's quality expectations. Your addition was mostly focused on the character, Looker, and not the International Police as a whole. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 13:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

May I know how to put pics,please!

--Shravs (New Bark Gym) 14:27, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Delete Image?

File:Coronet1.png Mt_Coronet_south.png

Guess what image needs deleting? Don't worry! I already checked to see if other pages link to that old file and made the correct revisions. --Wildgoosespeeder 22:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Deleted. Though next time, just put a {{delete}} on the image summary. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 01:50, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
OK then. I'll make sure to place {{delete}} next time. I think I tried using that template once and got a very delayed response. --Wildgoosespeeder 02:04, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Another Pokemon merchandise page?

Would it be alright to make a new one? Got a book today called "The Art of: Pokémon The First Movie". Was wondering if that would be worth making a page on as well? Frozen Fennec 22:00, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Sure. I think any official book is worth a page. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 22:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Alright then. Will try to get the cover image of it too. Thanks for permission again. Frozen Fennec 22:04, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
If you know the ISBN code, you should be able to find the book online and get a cover image that way. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 22:08, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Submit Image

Good evening administrator! I would like to submit an image which is related to All That Glitters is Not Golden!. Specifically it is related to this error:When everyone fled into Keenan's house for the first time, the golden Sudowoodo appeared on the screen for a split second. The golden Sudowoodo wasn't with them at this point. Here is the link:http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/703/sudowoodoerror.png/

19:52:27,14 February 2012 (UTC) DJ Wolfy

The bottom right corner is all smudged like someone tried to cover up a watermark, poorly. So get an image without a watermark, then upload it here with all the proper licensing and categorization. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:03, 14 February 2012 (UTC)


Sorry I can't upload it due to this:The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Bots, Administrators, Bureaucrats, emailconfirmed, Senior Administrators, Editorial Board, Technical staff. Return to Main Page.

I couldn't find a non-watermarked image so I cut it down. Here is the link again:http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/210/sudowoodoerror.png/

P.S. - What is the code for writing in blue text ?

--DJWolfy 20:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

I checked. It seems you're not even registered. There are separate registrations between Bulbapedia and the Archives. So just because you have an account on Bulbapedia doesn't mean you have an account on the Archives, and vice versa. While we'd prefer the images weren't cropped just to hide a watermark, it's better than nothing...
Also, <span style="color:blue;">This code will make blue text.</span> This code will make blue text. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! Well it seems I can log onto Archives using my Bulbapedia account.Does that mean I am registered on Archives? --DJWolfy. 20:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh, yes. It's been a looooong time since I registered so it slipped my mind...so yeah, it's global. Same can be done with Bulbanews. Also, be sure to link to your page or talk page in your signature. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Well,I don't have my personal page,but if you would show me a link with all or some of the templates maybe I'll make my personal page,since I don't want it to be plain. --DJWolfy. 20:35, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry for using my userspace too much. Do you forgive me? LMFS 03:04, 15 February 2012 (UTC) Oh, I am also sorry for all the other stuff I did. I am new (kind of) to Bulbapedia LMFS 03:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

His edits

You might want to do something about this user as he keeps on making useless edits despite multiple warnings. PattyMan 20:20, 17 February 2012 (UTC) Can you tell me which user please? LMFS 01:58, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

SandmanDP

Hi Jo, I'm coming to you because you're the latest admin who's made an edit on my watchlist. ^-^; SandmanDP is repeatedly reverting edits, and not listening to order, even removing my comments on his talk page and saying that I was spamming and harrasing him. Can you please do something about it? He isn't listening to reason. ^-^; Littlmiget123 16:14, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Jo, she went against the leader of Project Anime and defied intervention to continue the edit war. Vuvu even tried to stop her but obviously was not available. I had every right to revert her for ignoring two talkpages--SandmanDP 16:17, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm killing this argument before it even begins. Drop this for right now, both of you. I'll share this with the other admins later when they get online, and we'll investigate what's going on and reach a consensus. For now, both of you either take a break from the internet, or try to avoid each other. Just please do not get in an argument on my talk page. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 16:21, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

"Cooling down"

Not saying your edit summary is involved, because it isn't, but how many times does the newbie have to be bullied before the bullies are finally punished?--SandmanDP 18:03, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

First off: I'm going to answer your question bluntly and honestly, and I don't want to get into an argument with you. If you don't like what I have to say, fine, but you came to me and asked me, so I'm going to be honest. We all clear? Okay.

There was over 30 (possibly 40+) Gotta Catch 'Em All events distributed in Japan for the GBA games. I was wondering if there should be separate list dedicated (new page) to just these events (similar to the 10th Anniversary and Jeremy). There was 5 different distributions, with each one containing different Pokémon. Each Pokémon had the OT of フクオカ, オ-サカ, ナゴヤ, サッポロ, トウキョ- or ヨコハマ depending of the Pokémon Center it was obtained from. Do you think a new page should be created just for the Gotta Catch 'Em All events? --Lady Ariel 22:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Good afternoon! I managed to complete the synopsis for EP149.I think it is safe now to remove the incomplete synopsis template.On another notice, the image I've sent for AG173 wasn't added.Will it be ?----DJWolfy 11:49, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

admin

--S.M 09:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)please make me the admin i will try my best to do in this website.

No. Firstly, you need experience to become an admin. You also can't ask to be an admin. See: this section. Secondly, you came to the wrong person. I can't promote or demote anybody. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 17:54, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Pokémon Rumble Blast moves

The thing about Pokémon Rumble Blast moves is that it's not just "Attack. Attack. Attack." but there's position, direction, etc. Plus there is a damage rating in ☆s or s. But yes, I will leave moves like Barrier untouched... ——Poglare

Meowth in Pokémon Apokélypse

I would've asked somebody else, but I couldn't find anybody so I turned to you. Meowth in Pokémon Apokélypse did not have a voice that was shown in the trailer, I would understand why it's on the cast list, but can I add some reference to him not having any speaking lines? Pokedex493 05:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Just put N/A next to his name. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 05:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Okay thanks. Pokedex493 05:31, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

PokéPark 2

Seeing as you are creating and updating articles for that game would you mind writing in the info on the back of the game case [here]. Would be nice. Almost wrote in the Pokémon Puzzle Challenge one but the only image I could find was small and there was camera glare all over it making reading it impossible. :( Frozen Fennec 20:31, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Usertags

Asked this on Knji-Girl's page without knowing she's one of the main admins. :( Was wondering if redirects count as edits to the mainspace and if so did I do enough to warrant the use of any edit milestone tags? If I haven't earned them then that is OK with me. Frozen Fennec 04:42, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Eh, they're nice, but not a huge deal. They don't count towards the TCM either. We prefer milestone tags be used for TCM-qualifying edits. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 05:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Alright, thanks for letting me know. Frozen Fennec 05:10, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

My Edits

Have I done better with my edits?LMFS 05:12, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

No. No you have not. You've made three edits, all of which were almost immediately undone. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 05:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay, can you come to my talkpage and discuss it with me?LMFS 04:43, 8 March 2012 (UTC) I must disagree, I did edits but others corrected my grammar mistakes & mistakes in general and made it understandable.LMFS 04:34, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Sandman0721

I just welcomed this new user, Sandman0721, but I have a sneeking suspicion about this user. It's similar to SandmanDP, who we know got into feuds with practically everyone (even me), and was blocked for about 2 months by MAGNEDETH. Anyway, my suspicion is that this new user might be a sockpuppet of SandmanDP, as a loophole from the block. You might want to check Sandman0721's background (confirm his identity). Thanks! サトシ 23:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

I've investigated and found the IPs do not match. The term "sandman" is a popular term so it's not unlikely that more than one person might use this title. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 23:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Usertag boxes?

Was wondering if it would be alright if I redid my usertags section to being similar to yours. As in similar in design. Would this be ok with you? Frozen Fennec 00:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

You can use it as a base, but be sure to make it unique to you. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 00:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
Will do. Thank you for giving me permission. :) Frozen Fennec 00:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

important question from me

What is a speculation crackdown? Chomper4 17:17, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

That's the protection reason used when the protection exists to prevent people making an article/adding info before it is officially confirmed. It's often used when we get information from a source which is known to be unreliable, although that isn't the only reason. Werdnae (talk) 20:37, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

User Country

When you added the protection to the User:Country template in February, the same level of protection was accidentally added to a related page, Template:User Country/List of countries, though that page isnt linked to like the tempate is. A Slovakian user wants to change the Slovakian tag I added to something more appropriate, but they are unable to do so because of the protection. Is it possible to unprotect that page, while keeping the template protected? XVuvuzela2010X 12:51, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :)

Hey, thanks for sticking up for me before. You have no idea how many times I'll write something and someone just deletes it, without explanation, even if it's true! :) Charli 05:52, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Uh...

I thought that jumping the gun was discouraged on this pedia. But looks like this doesn't apply to admins. --Maxim 10:24, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

It's not jumping any guns. He is going to be a major character throughout the tournament, like Morrison, Tyson, Tobias, and many more. We know this for a fact. Like I said, if you disagree with something, ask before you take action. Additionally, if you don't agree with something someone did, don't be rude about it. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 11:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
I thought that being a Wiki editor means that you can edit articles WITHOUT consulting everything. --Maxim 11:09, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Just think I should point out that I removed Harrison and Tyson from that template (for some reason, they were in the Rivals section) since they were only around for a small arc of episodes, and never appeared again after that. XVuvuzela2010X 11:15, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
This isn't simply adding or removing content from a page, it was deciding the classification of a character. The style is decided by the Heads of the various fields of the franchise. So yes, you are allowed to edit whatever without having to ask, but if it has to do with something major to a project, you need to bring it up with the Head of that section or project. They are in charge of the movement of that field, and they look over the work that is done and make major decisions. As such, they always have a good reason to do something, and their opinion should be respected. If you disagree, you may bring it up with them (Third time). That's democracy, and before you say it's unfair, this is how most governments work. It's similar to the Cabinet in government being in charge of various fields of the economy. They're in charge of making the big decisions that they feel are best for the economy, and the citizens. If you disagree, you're allowed to voice your opinion to them. But to go against them without due process could get you arrested. I fail to see how this is any different. If you're still confused, then it can't be helped. But I feel I've explained it to the best of my abilities. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 11:53, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Time display at the top of your talkpage

Hi,

May I have your permission to take the time display markup you have at the top of your talk page for my own page? I'll only take the markup for the hour, minute, whether it's AM or PM and the purge link. Is that all right with you? Thanks for your time and have a nice weekend! Cheers, Haxorus 14:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 22:43, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! Enjoy your weekend. :-) Cheers, Haxorus 04:02, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Can you explain something for me?

So I can only make 3 edits total to any pages that start with User:then my username? Is there a restriction on talk pages? I was just wondering. Pringles 20:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I think it depends. If you're making personal edits to your talk, like giving it its own style, I think it should count towards userspace edits. But if you're just responding to messages, then no, it shouldn't count. There is sort of a talk page restriction, but it's only if you edit nothing except talk pages for unnecessarily long periods of time. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 23:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks.Pringles 00:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Just askin'

I'm just asking since you're a staff member, how do I change the size of a file? Chowolun 20:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC) User:Lucario985

On a page? Just change then number: [[File:None.png|200px]] Before you upload it? You'll need image editing software. Some versions of Paint let you edit size somewhat cleanly, but more expansive ones like Photoshop are better. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 20:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Some more help

As you responded to my question to ForceFire, I thought you may be able to help me with something else. You said I need to edit around the site for a bit. I presumed this meant mainspace however since walkthroughs are my favourite thing to edit and they are not like userpages (the are partially encyclopaedic), do they count in the 'editing around the site' that you mentioned. MajesticRayquaza 10:58, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Sure do. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 12:48, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Edit: Actually, while Appendix edits do count, don't completely ignore the main-mainspace either. :P Main-Mainspace >>> Appendix Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 13:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

The +/- numbers on the contribution pages

What does the +/- number stat mean on the Contributions page? G50 02:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

It's the number of characters added/removed from the page during that edit. I'm not entirely sure what the bold is for, though. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 02:53, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I believe bold is for additions/subtractions of 500 or more characters. - poikins 02:55, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Types' colors

Didn't had anything to do, so I started this (and planning to do this with Stadium, RSE, FRLG, and both PMD; rest will need help). Not sure if this could be useful to mainspace. Oh, and Stadium 2 colors can be bit off, it's hard to pick the right color (in Paint I see that icon and text are in many shades of their colors). Marked +-+-+ 17:57, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

IRC

Hi Jo, I was wondering if you knew the name of Bulbapedia's IRC channel? I know there's a direct link to it in the side navbar, but my laptop doesn't seem to recognise irc:// as a web address, and I can't find the name anywhere else. D: Ronan 10:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I know there's one called #bulbagarden, but that is general for the whole of Bulbagarden (The wiki, archives, news, and forums), then there should be #bulbapedia. I can't say for sure how many people will be there though. Not many of our staff use irc. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 10:33, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Ah, okay. Thanks. Ronan 10:55, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
