"Czas podróżować kolczatka australijska (Time Traveling Echidna) od Bulbapedia."
Means: "Time to travel australian echidna (Time Traveling Echidna) from Bulbapedia."
What the f___ is that supposed to mean? You were using electronic translators, weren't you? Bad idea - Polish is a language that you cannot use with translators and do this correct. That sign is a complete nonsense. - Etamitlu 12:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- You bet. But I feel like I gotta put something, even if it's badly-translated. TTEchidna 19:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Glitches
As you may already know, I have been having a SOMEWHAT heated discussion with several other members over the notability of glitches and whether or not they should be such a significant part of Bulbapedia. At first, I found that many glitch articles required cleanup, but then I decided that they were just too useless and irrelevant to bother with. So I marked several for deletion. Yes, I know it was a mistake and you don't need to give me all the reasons why. However, I still believe that articles like Glitchy Charizard and Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur do not deserve their own pages. Fabu-Vinny told me to appeal to a member of the editorial board, and here I am. My suggestion is to move any glitch Pokémon based off a real Pokémon into that Pokémon's trivia section. Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur goes under Bulbasaur's trivia. Then, whatever is left over, like MissingNo., can be merged into one fairly big article, List of Glitch Pokémon. On that list, we can have a short description of each. See what you think.
Important enough to put on your talk page? -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif
- Oh yes, very important enough to put on my talk page. Anyway, glitchy Charizard, sure, that should possibly be merged into the Charizard article, or at least mentioned. What'd be better is if glitchy Charizard were on the list of glitch Pokémon. Same with invisible shiny Bulbasaur: it should be mentioned in Bulbasaur's article that its call is used for ISB because ISB is apparently index #000 while Bulbasaur's index #001. Likewise, ?????????? should be mentioned on Slowpoke's page, and ? should be mentioned on Unown's page, because they use the same calls.
- I do, however, think that MissingNo. should be kept separate, or merged into an article with 'M. They're by far the most famous glitch Pokémon, and just being a section of a greater list is like saying Caterpie doesn't deserve its own article because it sucks and has no use until it's a Butterfree.
- An article with a list of glitch moves and what they do wouldn't hurt, either... but certainly not separate articles. I dunno, Argy and Pie are the style editors, so I'll bring it up to them. We'll see what we can do. TTEchidna 00:00, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Very good. It's nice to see someone who thinks that's a good idea. Have you brought it up with the style editors yet? -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif
- ...cough... -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif
- Great. So, what are we gonna do with all the glitch articles? Tons of 'em need improvement and it's going to take a lot to do this. Should we make a project for it or start ourselves? What's our course of action? -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif
- Sorry, but do you think you could make the project? ...I have no idea how. I'll start then. -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

Ph34r,
Looks like a new Ph34r wannabe has joined Bulbadia. Ph34r,. He recentely edited Template:Harley's Pokémon and wrote in "This page has been taken over by Ph34r, Down with Bulbapedia!" But he quickly reverted his edits and said "Sorry bout that, I guess I've overeacted..."
I don't know if he's serious or he's just being a smart ass. Anyway, I thought you might like to know. --☆ケンジガール 07:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, my laptop was going really slow today so when I tried to put a message in it wouldn't work(i thought). I don't know how many I must have put in, but I gave up after a few tries...

Project TCGDex Reprint Issue Ideas
I've come up with something that just might solve the reprint issue plauging Project TCGDex. I've put the format up on two Trainer card articles up already, here they are:
Simply put, that "thick line" (actually an empty row) separates release info for individual prints of the cards that appear in multiple sets. Of course, there are a few cards where this wouldn't be practical (Potion for instance), but that's nothing a table under "Release Information" won't fix. What do you think of it?
(Oh, and if you think synchronizing the names for the Project TCGDex articles for the first three sets with the later-released sets is absolutely necessary, say the word and I'm on it.) --Shiningpikablu252 20:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- That's the way I was thinking of handling it originally, actually, just mentioning all sets where the card with the same text and function is released, even with alternate art, but have the main article be the first release of the card.
- And the first three sets... eh. We're dealing with it. We won't move them just yet, because there's still some disagreement, but don't worry. Once we get all of it resolved, you'll know. ...and I hope that's soon... TTEchidna 21:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Political Templates
I come to you knowing you'll be fairly level-headed about this...I hope. What do you think about political user tags (I mean, we've already got religions)? Not many, just
This user is a Republican |
and

. If you have a better picture for the democrat one, let me know.
-File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif
- Hmmm... well, it can get kinda complicated there. Remember, the Republican/Democrat duality is only in the US, unlike religions, which are worldwide things... TTEchidna 00:04, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- Why not "liberal" and "conservative"? Look at these:

- Okay, then. First off, I suggest that we use liberal and conservative as opposed to Democrat and Republican. Secondly, although I tend to lean toward liberal standpoints, I think we need to pick a fair Pokémon for each side. {[p|Togekiss}} seems like a fairly good idea for liberals, although it's hard to say why. I'll stick with Phanpy for conservatives. Also, I'll make other templates for User Communist, User Green Party, User Fedaralist, etc. TTE, Tina, and Shiny Noctowl, do I have your approval for

Since nobody else is going to take the initiative on this, and since I hope for eventual administratorship, I'll take care of the TCG "List" problems. It'll take awhile, though. Should I start out with the Supporter Card one or the Stadium one? -File:Spr 3e 186.gifPolitoed666File:Spr 3e 186.gif

- Actually, I've categorized a few redirects corresponding to VS cards. I categorized those redirects so that the VS versions are the ones reflected in the unreleased cards category as opposed to a version that saw English release.

- Well, I have been trying to change all of the big headings into smaller ones. You know how on some pages there's single-equals headings, below them double, and then so on? Well, it's kinda distracting to have a subheading the same size as the page title, so I wanna make it so it starts from heading 2.
Luckily we have no pages that use the sixth (or even fifth) heading, so we'll be fine.
