[change] Archives

I am going to Archive my talk page every time it gets to 10 comments. (Terry) 19:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[change] Edit summary

Please remember to use the edit summary function here. It helps other editors identify what exactly the changes are that you've made. You can set a preference in your Preferences to prompt you when entering a blank edit summary if you would like to get into the habit of doing so. :) Razorflame 21:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[change] Pokémon

I see you are interested in Pokémon. I would suggest you take a look at this page that I made a while page for help: List of Pokémon. It might be of some use to you. Razorflame 20:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I already have. Will be adding links shortly and making new lists. (Terry) 20:52, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that any other list is necessary. The list that I provided is as complete as it can possibly be. As for the links, I can add a wikilink to that whole article now. Razorflame 20:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

List of Pokémon Characters, Regions, Gymns, etc. I'm just getting started with Pokémon articles. (Terry) 20:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

No need for a list of regions. List of Pokemon already includes the names of all of the regions. Razorflame 20:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

(unindenting) Terry, I added Ho-oh and Lugia to the list of Legendary birds mainly because of Ho-oh. I remember hearing Ho-oh described as a legendary bird in the past, so I just lumped Lugia in with him (even though Lugia looks more like a reptile or an amphibian than it does a bird). Just thought that I would let you know. Razorflame 00:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

KK. Thanks for letting me know. (Terry) 13:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

There was no need to indent the comment I left two above because of the fact that I put (unindenting) before it. It was a new topic that I wanted to put under the same heading, so I unindented it. Razorflame 20:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Didn't understand what you meant. (Terry) 20:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

(unindenting) Please remember to include Pokemon TV series and video games please. They are also in the video game series, so the information on the Pokemon pages should include both TV series and video game series.

[change] Template:Pokemon

It should not automatically include categories. I would suggest manually adding it by hand. Razorflame 20:50, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Other templates aytomatically include catagories. Why can't this one? (Terry) 20:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

If it would automatically include it, then when someone goes to edit it, it would seem that it doesn't have a category, and editors would then add {{uncat}} to the pages. Razorflame 20:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

You can see it has catagories before you edit it or when you click show preview. (Terry) 20:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[change] Categories

Hi, I noticed you're adding category:Pokémon Monsters to a number of pages. Before you get too far, I think I should mention to you that categories work the same way that article names and headings work: only the first letter is capitalized unless the category name is a proper noun. Therefore, that category would be correctly located at category:Pokémon monsters. I am going to make the changes and I will let you know when I'm done. Until then, please don't add this category to any more pages. Thanks! · Tygrrr... 21:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Just redirect! (Terry) 21:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Category redirects do not directly redirect. They only point to the other page. The pages have to be put directly into the correctly named category.-- Creol(talk) 21:26, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks Creol! (Terry) 21:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Creol's right, category redirects don't work. Please don't use them anymore. I have fixed both Category:Pokémon monsters and Category:Pokémon characters. You can continue adding the proper categories now. · Tygrrr... 21:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[change] Voting in RfD

I see nothing wrong with CBMIBM voting in the RfD for the article he created and have restored his vote and removed your comment.--Bärliner 18:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[change] Redirects

Do not create User page redirects.

You are not allowed to create user pages for non-existant users. IuseRosary ^(talk) 19:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

kk. was about to put a qd tag on it anyway. trying to chage my sig but not enough space to do it! Terry ^{(talk) - (changes) - Articles I've Created} at 19:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[change] Request about Sig

Could you alter your signature cause the Changes link is not readable. Changing would comply with WP:SIG.-- ChristianMan16 23:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

This is Judging from you edit at WP:AFD.-- ChristianMan16 00:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

My signature has changed. It is no longer yellow.

Terry ^{(talk) - (changes)} - 00:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

sorry to bug you then.-- ChristianMan16 00:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Does this mean you will be changing your signature so people can see wich part of your name links to page, talk and changes?--Bärliner 01:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

That's fine.

[change] RfA

Have you asked razorflame if he wants to be nominated? I thought he still wanted to wait, especially as he has only been here for two months. --Bärliner 14:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, He did say that he would wait until the end of feb before nominating again. IuseRosary ^(talk) 14:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Didn't know. I made a mistake, anyway. I was looking at Razorflame's changes and saw that they went back to November 2007, so assumed he had been on for 3 months. Didn't look at the date. Sorry. Should I remove the nomination or just leave it there? Terry ^{(talk) - (changes)}- 14:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd leave it there and wait to see what razorflame wants to do. IuseRosary ^(talk) 14:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

kk. Terry ^{(talk) - (changes)}- 14:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

This will have to stay for the archive. Ask Razorflame if he accepts. If not it can be moved as soon as he says No on the page--Bärliner 15:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Will talk to him soon. He's not been making many changes recently so I'm assuming he's offline. Terry ^{(talk) - (changes)}- 15:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Next time try asking someone if they want to be nominated first--Bärliner 15:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[change] Welcome

Thanks for the welcome. I am a member on the English Wikipedia and I hope to be a good contributor here. Thanks again! :) SwirlBoy39 (talk) 19:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

You probably will be! Just make sure your articles are simple enough. There's a big difference between the standards on the English site and this site. Terry ^{(talk) - (changes)}- 19:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
