User talk:Handmaiden 101

Welcome to Bulbapedia, Handmaiden 101!

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!   PattyMan 01:11, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk pages

Talk pages are for suggesting ideas to improve an article, not speculate. If you want to speculate on a certain subject, go to the forums.--ForceFire 04:31, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

A reminder, please only use talk pages to suggest improvements not speculation. If you want to speculate, please use the forums.--ForceFire 03:22, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Apologies, couldn't help but add my opinion about it.-- --Handmaiden 101 (tAlk) 15:58, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

BTW

The e-mail notice would have shown me reverting and coming here, but that was an error as I thought I'd left a message here. I did put it back and reply, so you can reply again if you need to. =) CycloneGU (talk) 23:11, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Braixen

Looks like another image was uploaded over the other one at "Serena Braixen", so I have gone ahead and restored your image to the article. Of course, if other editors disagree, it may or may not stay there, or may be removed over time (particularly if it evolves to Delphox someday), so we will see.

Its vs It's

Just remember the difference between its and it's. It's is the contraction of it is (e.g. It's a Fire-type) whilst its is the possessive form (e.g. Its Fire-type move was powerful). Hope you remember this for future reference, thank you.--ForceFire 13:08, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

There's also the matter that we spell it Pokémon and not Pokemon (without the é accent), since while the accent is not on an English keyboard, Pokémon is actually the correct spelling over Pokemon. You spelled it Pokemon on the Serena's Eevee article. - PokémonGamer* 14:21, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Forgot to mention that the é accent is on the character palette below the editing box, so you can just use it from there. - PokémonGamer* 14:23, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice both of you (I always confuse it's and its together, I've always been told that adding ' was appropriate) and yes, I know Pokémon has an accent, I just sometimes forget to add it in, sorry! >x< I always seem to forget whenever I upload pictures with Poké in it because the palette isn't there... I'll have to remember that from now on.☆-- --Handmaiden 101 (tAlk) 19:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Re:Poke Tv

It's shown in reruns, as the original broadcast didn't show it due to an Ash-Greninja prize promotion thing. That's how I got it. - PokémonGamer* 20:59, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

It turns out you can find the Poké TV's on the Japanese Hulu service. - PokémonGamer* 22:14, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it appears that I am unable to watch it. Thanks anyway though!-- --Handmaiden 101 (tAlk) 21:02, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Language

Excuse me, Handmaiden 101. Do you speak English and Japan? Just wondering.--JasonL (Talk) 00:35, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Manga moves

Please be sure that when editing articles related to certain Pokemon manga you do not add a move unless it is explicitly called out by someone. Moves are rarely consistent between uses in Pokespe and it is much preferred that we do not assume, even if the move seems obvious. Ataro (talk) 04:37, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Images

Hi there! I noticed you have been removing several images of Dawn that perfectly fit a page's content and I want to tell you that you should not be doing that just because you don't like a character. Images are used to illustrate our articles and to help people better understand what we're talking about. There's no point in removing or replacing an image that is doing that job unless you have an image that does it better.
It would be okay if the images you add were better, but they're actually worse. The Poké Ball page for instance, I added this image to the anime section along with a few details about how Seals can be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance. It's a 1280 × 720 image of Dawn calling out her Pokémon that shows two different Seals (which exemplifies the customization aspect mentioned in the article and matches the image of Ash calling out his Pokémon) and you replaced it with a small 320 × 240 image showing only one Seal and the reason you provided to make that change was "I think this works", as if to say the previous image did not work, which isn't true at all.
You also removed that one image of Ash and Dawn from the Triple Battle article with a not-so-good excuse and recently you removed an image of Dawn grooming her Swinub from the Pokémon groomer page for no reason. In a section in which the longest paragraph is about Coordinators grooming their Pokémon, you removed the one image showing a Coordinator doing that. For no reason.
Please I'm kindly asking you, don't let your bias against a character get in the way of contributing to Bulbapedia. If the image is of high quality and if it fits the content of the page, there's no reason to replace it with one showing a character that you prefer. In doing that you're making several images in the Archives go unused, and that's not the goal of the Archives. This renders your edits bad not only for Bulbapedia, but for the Archives as well. --Mikuri 15:19, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
