You said to remind you if you left it too long. I think this is long enough. --SnorlaxMonster 10:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Me too. —darklordtrom 10:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new

I need a bit of help, and this is pretty odd, but... How do I get new box backgrounds in Jubilife TV, again?

TogePikachu 07:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

The best place to ask questions like this is on the Bulbagarden forums. However: the box background is called wallpaper and we have an article about that with links to generators. —darklordtrom 07:45, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Archive Images

Hello Trom. I know it says not to ask, but I need some of the images |moved on the archive as some of those are over a month old. I mainly need the Sprout Tower and Union Cave Eyecatches moved as I fixed the pages to correspond with their new locations. If I get could get some help it would be much appreciated. Thanks! –MasterKenobi 20:44, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Done. Next time though, don't create new images. Redirects work wonders. Don't forget about the DPPtHGSS sprites. We don't have a a:File:Spr 4p 001.png for instance. That's just a redirect. MK, can you upload Curelean Cave-Day though? ^ht14 20:48, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Ht for doing that for me. I will make sure to use redirects, it just that I didn't know exactly how those worked for images. It was also so people didn't look at it and think that we were being inaccurate or something. Cerulean Cave was one of the first ones that I was working on so I forgot to check to make sure every image was there. I will make sure to upload it though and look over the rest. Thanks again. –MasterKenobi 05:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Body?

Found one more: Template:GlitchPkmnInfobox, but it's hidden so only gen 3 and 4 Pokémon have it. --SnorlaxMonster 11:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Done. As is the other glitch template thing you got me to do ↑up there↑ (if you hadn't noticed). —darklordtrom 11:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I saw that. I started removing those Color redirects from articles, but there is still a problem with Template:Moveentry and Template:Movelistglitch. --SnorlaxMonster 12:22, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, the defaults on Template:GlitchEvobox/Setup simply need to be changed from Bird to Unknown. --SnorlaxMonster 12:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Evobox is done. I don't see what needs to be chaned on moveentry - this template is used on move articles only. Do you perhaps mean {{mlentry1}}? Regarding {{Movelistglitch}}: just put "Unknown" for the variable that would usually be a glitch type. The type is not written down anywhere on the template; all you are doing is calling a color template. —darklordtrom 13:03, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

It is written on the template, down the type column. So Glitch should be used instead of IIIItoto here? As for move entry, it's used here and here. --SnorlaxMonster 13:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

That's actually on a different template which I have located and updated. The moventry should be done too now. Any further demands requests you have will be dealt with once I've woken up... in, like, five hours D: —darklordtrom 13:26, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Retrieving sprites

Can u retrieve the egg sprites from Project:CustomSprites that would be very much appreciated. DoTheWave 02:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Given the sheer volume of sprites that will take up a large amount of time that I currently don't have. I'll see what I can do later in the week, but no promises. —darklordtrom 06:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to barge in, but what do you need them for? If anything, ask Tavisource. ^ht14 21:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Tavis is not an admin. Unless he has all sprites saved on his computer, he won't be able to help. --electAbuzzzz 19:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I know that, I'm just thinking that he has them on him, that's all. ^ht14 21:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Present

you need a song. ^Maverick_Nate 23:17, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Awwww Nate, you shouldn't have! Here, I got you some math. Solve for i: 9x - 7i > 3 (3x-7u). —darklordtrom 03:20, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Sky Attack

The vandal whose edit you reverted has been done again which I undid this time. Based on my suspcions of this users edit I can say it has to be a single purpose vandal. -Tyler53841 02:22, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

He's been warned. Keeping an eye on him. —darklordtrom 02:26, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Right, but right now this user is more likely to ignore this warning since that doesn't seem to be any constructive edits. -Tyler53841 02:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm assuming good faith. He probably hadn't seem that message by the time he made the third edit and is likely frustrated that people are removing his edits. —darklordtrom 02:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I believe...

Redirection Question

Hey trom, need to ask something. There are two characters with the same name Shū. One is Drew from Advanced Generation and the other one is from Pokémon Get da ze!. The thing is that there is no redirection to Drew's article when we search Shu, it directly jump to that manga shu article. Shouldn't there be a disambiguation? Because Shu (that anime one) isn't a minor character afterall. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 14:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

My personal opinion on this issue is that the article at Shū should stay the manga character with the hatnote it currently has (the thing that says "If you were looking for...") because that is the only name we have for that character, whereas we have an English name for the other guy. If any of my talk page stalkers want to chime in, I'd like to hear what they have to say on this :) —darklordtrom 20:38, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

^this 梅子^❀_✿ 20:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. ^ht14 20:57, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

↑(I'm a stalker XD) Littlmiget123 21:17, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, okay. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 03:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Guess you guys didn't see it

This guy vandalized Luvdisc's page several hours ago but was not blocked. The guy may return. ^tc²₆tc₂₆ 00:42, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, it's him again. Go through the Archives deletion logs and you'll see what I mean ;)

Next time, don't forget to plonk a warning message on his talk page. That'll help us notice anything in future. —darklordtrom 00:46, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

No prob. I'll be looking out for him on Bulbanews. ^tc²₆tc₂₆ 00:53, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

He hasn't activated that account yet, which is why I didn't place a block or anything. If he tries anything, match the times from here and from BA. —darklordtrom 00:55, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Crystal

Sorry about removing that chunk without an explanation. I usually leave one, just was lazy tonight. I didn't think it was necesarry to have the starter Pokémon names, just seemed too long. I am gonna re-add about how the rival chooses the starter that the player's is weak is against. My bad. Jedi Striker 06:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

It's forgivable, but please don't be lazy. It can be really confusing to see a large chunk of text vanish with no explanation. Again, I urge you to use the link templates as mentioned by Zesty Cactus on your talk page. They'll prevent you from unintentionally linking to redirects or disambiguation pages. —darklordtrom 06:14, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Isshu Starters

Hey trom, apparently almost everything related to Pokabu, Tsutaaja and Mijumaru is under protection including there images. I've crystal clear + clean artwork images of these starters but I don't have the permission to upload them neither do any other normal user. Can you please add/upload them? Another user have also provided it's link (as he uploaded it on imageshack), you can save it from there and upload it here. Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 09:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

A concern with images is whether the image is fan-made or not. Where did you find the art from? —darklordtrom 10:11, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

It's fan edited (check Pokabu's back leg and Tsutaaja tail). By the way, the BW site says BW will be released Fall 2010. Page here only says 2010. ^tc²₆tc₂₆ 10:16, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... didn't noticed that. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 10:25, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Jioruji and I decided that including fan-edited art isn't necessarily a bad thing provided it is from an obscured scan and is noted as such. —darklordtrom 10:53, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Note other part of my comment above. ^tc²₆tc₂₆ 10:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, got sidetracked reading your anime predictions page... ^-^; —darklordtrom 11:03, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Gen 5 Artwork

I figured an Admin would be the best person to talk to - if we want artwork not edited from Coro Coro...yeah. Drake Clawfang 20:55, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Most of it is already uploaded, if you bothered to check the Archives. —♥ Jello 21:13, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Just trying to be helpful, no need to be a dick. Drake Clawfang 22:00, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Jello was also trying to be helpful. If you want to upload stuff that's from the official BW site that's fine, but you need check that it's not there already. And follow the naming conventions, guys. File:bw-1.jpg is not a descriptive name at all. We want to know what the image is about before we see it. —darklordtrom 02:38, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, about the copyright

I personally, and by hand, cut out those sprites from multiple Sprite Sheets found on Google, not Bulbapedia. Yes, we might have a few ideas from your site, but you can't prove that any of those images were from Bulbapedia. As for our Diamond, Golden, Silver, and Bronze Charizard awards that we present to our best contributors, yes, it was an idea from Bulbapedia, however they're different as our site mascot is Charizard, not Bulbasaur. We don't have any GIFs that are in identical motion with any of yours, so you have no legal proof that those images are yours. As for giving credit? We plan to put your URL as a cousin site from ours on one of our high-traffic pages, in time. —RockSmashGuy 05:04, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Woah, way to get out of hand. Please stay calm.

I was never saying that you stole the images themselves from Bulbapedia. Stuff that's ripped from the games is anyone's content, after all. That part of my post was more to do with the fact that our naming conventions had been used. While we can't hold claim to them, it's a little upsetting to see something that Bulbapedia used developed on another site.

I had no idea you were using Golden Charizards. Don't get too defensive.

My main concern, and the concern of the Editorial Board, was that you took a whole stack of templates without permission. This violates the terms and conditions of Bulbapedia. A lot of users put their time and effort into creating those templates, and their work cannot be recognized without providing attribution at the time of publication.

Finally, if you want to continue any discussion, please do so on this page now that you have brought the issue to the BP end. Thanks. —darklordtrom 05:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay then, we'll try to make our own templates. Thanks for not escalating the problem ;). —RockSmashGuy
