About myself

I call myself THE TROM, but I will also repsond to "asshole", "jerk", and "jackass". I moved to Bulbapedia after more than two years and 2,600 edits of experience on Wikipedia, although I have not and never will focus on any Pokémon articles. I've had my problems with the administration system here in the past, but in the past three months I've seen Bulbapedia grow and evolve. And now, for some godforsaken reason, I've actually grown to like the place, despite the fact that almost every rule is unwritten and expected to be common knowledge. I don't do anime. I don't do manga. I don't do TCG. I do do main series, specialising in Generation IV. I do clean up poorly written pages. And I do know how to make fancy templates. Despite my limited scope, I got to number four on the list in December '08. I'll take questions, complaints, insults, tasks and praise - just make sure you leave it in a new section. The only user I'm sure I'll ever trust here is Beligaronia, but don't let that stop you from making an effort. To contact me privately, use email. I do have AIM and MSN but you'll have to ask nicely to be allowed access to those. But for now: go and edit in peace.

It's currently 3:22:11AM on November 30, 2024 where I live. But that means absolutely nothing about when I'll edit. — THE TROM — 12:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


Talk Page Archives (because apparently deleting is bad)

Gen IV

Thanks for putting the Pt Gym Leader update on the Gen IV page.--DRAGONBEASTX 22:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Preview

I know, I know, But just one question, Are you using the Preview Button?--Force Fire talk 08:52, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, when I can. It's hard to tell with some aspects of templates though, but I assure every single user on this site that I am using as few edits as possible. Would you mind commenting on what I've done, if you haven't already? Thanks. — THE TROM — 08:56, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
It's alright, it's much easier to understand than the other thing we have. But yet again it may cause a problem as some users are used to the template we have now.--Force Fire talk 08:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Dammit, not that thing called "tradition" again!?! You wouldn't believe the number of times I've seen this cited as a way not to improve an article. Besides, by turning it around as I have demonstrated we can get rid of the stupid bold red text. — THE TROM — 09:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, I wasn't going to say "tradition", But you know, people these days. But its good.
And how about combining?--Force Fire talk 09:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Actually, it hasn't just been him. He was one of the culprits a few months ago but I think after all his moz-borders he's moved on a bit... What do you mean by "combining"? — THE TROM — 09:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Like if two Pokémon can be found in two or more games, Are they gonna be seperate or are they going to be in the same box?--Force Fire talk 09:24, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
You mean like Clamperl appearing in DP but not Pt? Or have I missed your point? — THE TROM — 09:25, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, That's my point.--Force Fire talk 09:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
See my table at the bottom. — THE TROM — 09:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh alright.--Force Fire talk 09:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

A conversation

Hey--if you wouldn't mind, could you drop me a line on AIM? I have a few questions for you. My handle is IMfromEvan. -- evkl (need to talk?) 05:00, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Dropping any of us an AIM message would also be good, hint hint. TTEchidna 22:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Can I have your AIM?

Please...?--RexRacer -talk 05:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

thanks for the suggestions about the timer, I have asked Poke. Sorry bout the late reply, I got really dodgy internet.MysteryHeff? TALK 11:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, but I accidentally centered everything, but I like it centered, and to fix it you dot this dont you?--MỸSTЄЯỸЊӘFF TALK 02:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Pssst. When you read the speech on my page did you get the reference.....DCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits)) 02:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
I basically took the words of Marc Antony's famous speech from Julius Caesar(The play) and added in some hyperlinks and twisted a few words. In my view, we need specific admins. nuf said.DCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits)) 11:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Content box

Thanks so much for helping me with the content box. I really do appreciate it. May i ask...how did you do it? I suck at wikicoding and i'm trying so hard to learn it.--いぬみみ 02:21, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Resolved. — THE TROM — 08:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks (Again)

Hey thanks, but would you be able to out it on my page for me? Because it isn't working when i try it, if you could it would be heavily appreciated, thanks.--MỸSTЄЯỸЊӘFF™ (TALK) 07:54, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Resolved. — THE TROM — 08:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Help me out here.

I need some articles that need editing. I don't want to be banned like you said some users have, so help me! Telme 19:57, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. — THE TROM — 08:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

If it weren't for you, I would have been screwed. BTW, can you help me edit my custom user tags? I need different colors. Telme 22:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. — THE TROM — 03:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Hhmm

Why do you trust Beligaronia? The wikipedia Beligaronia says that they are totally insane! If they are the same people, this Beligaronia is also insane! Are you LOCO IN THE COCO?! If, shockingly, you don't know what that means, it means "Is something "WRONG" with your head?!", or something in that similar nature of shouting directly in your ear while you're reading something like a very rare chapter of Pokémon Special, if you ever got your hands on one.--DRAGONBEASTX 10:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, my friend Bela is a certified loony.... </sarcasm> Not everything you read on the internet can be taken as verbatim truth. I read on your user page that you are, in fact, Romanian, but I have no knowledge that this, or anything else you say, is true. The fact that I refer to him as the one person I can trust is based on the fact that a) I know him in real life, and b) almost every user on this site is incredibly hostile, a group that you may now find yourself in. If this message was to take advantage of my offer of talk page abuse (see my green box), you've had your chance, so thank you and goodbye. — THE TROM — 06:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Trom... yeah... sorry... you've got a good point about the net... I myself can sometimes act a little loony, you know how I said about shouting directly in your ear while you're reading something like a very rare chapter of Pokémon Special, if you ever got your hands on one........ and I was just wondering why did you say you ONLY trust Bela... I think its a DIFFERENT level of trust... REAL trust cause you know Bela in real life... though you may not entirely believe it... I am Romanian and I didn't mean for this message seeming like talk page abuse and I really don't abuse talk pages. Here's an example: "Talk:Porygon-Z ("DP-P" Promo 106)". but in that internet-Bulbapedia-editing-kinda-trust, I trust you, cause you make nice edits.--DRAGONBEASTX 07:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I've seen you around, and you appear to make good edits. I was only surprised by your tone. This is clearly a reminder to everyone here to think before you write. — THE TROM — 08:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Backrounds

idk what to call them, but, what you did to TMs. i know its after the fact, but, im going to make a template for those right now. -- MAGNEDETH 02:06, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Well.... that's only an hour or so down the drain.... :( — THE TROM — 02:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
i was working on those type-tables and thinking "boy, we really need one of those templates..." but, better late than never i guess. -- MAGNEDETH 02:09, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I thought about it yesterday, and was like "stuff it, I can't be bothered having to find/create/guess coding for a template again..."... — THE TROM — 02:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
well, bother no more! im going to make a contest one as well. not sure what else we could need. -- MAGNEDETH 02:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Oops, forgot that one. Cool. Do you want me to update the page again or will you do it and I find something else? (And seeing as you're making templates work good, can you fix the entry template at Old Chateau to make the Dongle go purple. I tried here to little success, so any help would be nice) — THE TROM — 02:16, 31 January 2009
hmm, im not so sure about that one. ill ask TTE. meanwhile, if you want to do the TM page again you can. i was going to go do all the types pages. -- MAGNEDETH 02:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Dongles for all five Gen III games shouldn't go purple. TTEchidna 02:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
It is on Gengar though. I assumed because they are ghost type? Just like how I made the dongle for underleveled Staravia and Bibarel the normal color. Having color would give consistency for all Dongles. — THE TROM — 02:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Templates

Can you give me a template for my pokemon party? I cant seem to copy one right.--Blaziken=Tahu 23:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. — THE TROM — 23:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

He WAS

Urutapu WAS ignoring me. See it? He never told me what those romanisations are from. I hate pointless Engrish and he knows that. He should tell me it. --Maxim 09:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

He shouldn't do anything if you're going to be angry, yell about it and threaten him. — THE TROM — 09:07, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Since you say you need it...

Thwomp Master's User Page

Good work on decategorizing Thwomp Master's user page. Very impressive. --Theryguy512 00:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! It took quite a bit of work, I tell you. Good to see you back though, Ryguy: you and Tina are names I knew from trawling the talk pages before I finally registered an account. — THE TROM — 00:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
It's glad to be back. I look forward to working with you and the other new users. --Theryguy512 00:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Signature!

It works now!!! thank you for your help!---GoLdEnWoLf 01:55, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Categories

Please don't remove categories from pages in encyclopedic namespaces, such as what you did on List of moves. All pages in encyclopedic namespaces must be categorized, with the one and only exception of the Main Page. --Shiningpikablu252 16:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, that was an accident in trying to update the page with the {{typetable}} templates; unfortunately my computer froze halfway and Sol finished it off for me, obviously not noticing the missing categories. — THE TROM — 20:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Oi, you!

Get out of the freaking userspace! You're clogging up the recent changes, and not even marking them all as minor so I can't even hide them! Start using "show preview" or something. Grr. Not happy. — THE TROM — 09:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Trom, are you talk to yourself again? You know its the first sign of madness.--Clarky13 09:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
No, second sign. First sign is no userpage, but a ton of userspace edits. — THE TROM — 09:54, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Haha. I demand you to make a userpage, NOW.--Clarky13 09:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
All in good time, my son. It'll take a year or two of no userspace editing to make up for what I'm doing for you and your trainer class project. — THE TROM — 09:58, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Awwwwww. Thanks for all your doing.--Clarky13 10:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Given up have we?--Clarky13 11:19, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, it was after midnight, and I had work from nine..... I thought a temporary pause might be in order. I do apologise for not asking permission from you beforehand :p Anyway, there are some bugs. I'll look into it in due time. — THE TROM — 09:11, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Yep, sure. Anytime you want.--Clarky13 09:30, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia

The name change is already done! And yeah I heard from Tall Napolean (Wikipedian User) about that too. Apparently I had enough edits to be able to change my name but it's all right now. -- Landfish7 20:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks buddy for praising my edits. THNX Again --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 11:22, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Something something user talk space

A block is heading your way, pal. And I know you haven't finished your userspaced projects either... So when you get back to them (and you better!), I'm gonna jump on you from a great height. Grr. Not happy. The mainspace needs love too, you know. — THE TROM — 11:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

tis tis. I'm very disappointed in the both of you.--Clarky13 11:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

images

I mistakenly uploaded images thinking there not there but every time I go to view a page the sprites are not there and when I try to click on them I'm informed they do not exist even though there in archive. Also now other picture are not showing up as well.--Riggy(>0.0)> 05:31, 6 March 2009 (UTC)--Riggy(>0.0)> 05:31, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
