thread_title:  July roll call 

message: It has recently been brought to my attention that it is one of the article style guidelines to put "the" before the name of the Pokemon in the beginning, as if the Pokemon were a species. However, after reading another user's comment concerning the subject, I noticed that the aforementioned use of "the" does not persist in the rest of the article. This inconsistency is a blatant grammar error, as it violates the grammatical status of the word. In the Anime, Bulbasaur, for example, is always referred to as just Bulbasaur as if it were his first name, making the word a proper noun, as opposed to a regular noun, and one of the basic grammar rules is that a proper noun is never preceded by "the". The names of the Pokemon are not nouns but proper nouns, names, and therefore should not be preceded by "the". I say Remove the "the"s. What do you think? --Lividore 17:54, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It does. An anon who has no clue about pluralization doesn't know enough about it. Highway Batman! 18:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you saying that it's ok to write an article about a species of creatures and then refer to the name of the creature in the article as if it were its first name? You don't refer to "Michael" as "the Michael" and you don't refer to "the cow" as just "cow" either. You've got to pick a way and stick with it. Either it's a proper or a regular noun. --Lividore 18:05, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No it's both. It's been well discussed, but a Pokémon article is split in two parts. The first part (intro to the bottom of video games) discusse the species, ie - all of the members of the species, anime and manga are discussing individual members of the species, they're name just happens to be the name of species. Like a sheep called sheep. Trading Card Game is general relation since they're bits of paper, but that's mainly as a species, unless it's "Someone's Pokémon", which is an individual. Cheers, Highway Batman! 18:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with everyone else, i've never heard "THE" before any Pokémon, its never in the video games or the anime, so explain where you've heard "THE" before the name, cheers M inun   (Spiderman)  10:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Exerpt from Labrador Retriever: "The Labrador Retriever ("Labrador" or "Lab" for short), is one of several kinds of retriever..." and further on. The article clearly defines the Labrador as a species from that, and further on, it actually is logical to no longer say "the" and everything. Also, as HighwayCello claims, there is a specific claim to the name of the Pokémon and a difference with the species of one. Often, it can be shortened reference. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 12:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Across many borders... 

message: According to policy and this guy. I don't want to be rude and please don't take this is gnawing the newbies or assuming ill intentions of an editor. I don't, it's not the editor, it's the culture. But there has been a pervasive explosion of these character articles in Anime articles. They contain little chunks of information, but only seem to exist to hold an image and an infobox on the character and to fill out a character navagation template...
I have half a mind to say delete the lot of them and start from scratch .. but I'd only push for that if we could throw in the similarly formatted character articles from OMG, IY, and Tenchi as well. They were all created in the same manner, and it's not well suited to the wikipedia. First off, they contain way too many pictures and (some of them) seem to only exist because an infobox was able to be created for the article. But, I will not be mean to the information and I will push for a SUPER speedy merge These articles fall under the auspices of the WP:FICTION which give a wonderful steps on how to create such pages. Also, a aticle like Eclair and Lumiere (Kiddy Grade) contains WAY too many photos and is a definite violation of the fair use policy. It needs a lot of trimming regardless of the outcome of this debate. I would vote to Delete the Kiddy Grade Infobox and navigation templates, if I could.'''
There is a debate going on on wether or not to delete the character pages of Kiddy Grade here. If this is allowed to happen all the various separate pokemon articles on all the separate pokemon and all the supposed useless pages that are too descriptive of pokemon should be deleted. Why? because some admins feel that "We do not need articles on all these characters." Nice isnt it? Anyway this is just a small collective list from just some anime (pokemon and dragonball mostly) of articles that correspond under this decree for deletion as fancruft, non-notability, uselessness and space-wasting...

thread_title:  Extra! Extra! PCP article reaches Main Page 

message: I put this on the Deoxys talk page as well, but I'm not sure how many people read that page, so I'm mentioning it here too.  When looking up info on Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, I came across an add showcasing new Diamond and Pearl colors for the DS Lite.  Down in the bottom left of the picture I found is, without a doubt, a shadow of a new fifth Deoxys form.  See for yourselves here .  I believe that this should be mentioned in the main article about Deoxys. -SaturnYoshi 06:13, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, Serebii.net is always on top of the hoaxes and fake pokémon, and why exactly would Nintendo make new versions of Deoxys in a game where it won't be available until trading, anyway? They're not bringing Deoxys back for Diamond and Pearl; if anything when Deoxys is traded, it'll be the Ruby/Sapphire formation. Ryūlóng 06:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True.  But until FireRed and LeafGreen came out, no one really knew that Ruby and Sapphire contained information on all Pokémon, not just those in the game. -SaturnYoshi 06:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And unless someone finds a new Deoxys (or two), I think any information about such should not be utilized until someone goes through the game files and rips. Ryūlóng 06:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I finally merged Missingno. and 'M into Pokémon glitches, deleting a great deal of dubiously-sourced original research and unencyclopedic detail in the process. This is per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/'M as well as the fact that those articles were in desperate need of cleanup.
 has been reinserting info sourced only to TRsRockin, a fansite I've never heard of before this merge. I'd appreciate it if someone could either look in and tell me I'm insane, offer a better source (as that's currently the most reliable source in the article), or ask Latitude to stop inserting OR and cruft. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 09:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: TRsRockin is, as far as I know, the most comphrensive glitch site for Pokémon on the internet, made up of overview guides from various posters for the website. As far as I know, everything checks out quite well on the information they give, but it is still a fan site. However, it may be the best thing we have, until Serebii gets a glitch section.

replies: text: The vandal, who if he wasn't on an AOL connection would have been fried by Raul by now according to him, is repeatedly vandalizing templates that appear in all the creature articles, causing a giant *coughs* to appear in every single Pokémon page, and in the case of Friday, the Main Page. The way to fix this problem is to protect the said templates from new accounts editing them, and to block all editors who do this to the templates. At present, accounts need to be at least 4 days old to bypass protection, so this will slow him considerably. Cheers, Highway Return to Oz... 19:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Now there's an idea that should have been thought up earlier! Realistically, all templates should be protected because they're more mechanical than the articles themselves, which are more content-based, and while any IP address can give potentially good edits to the content of articles, only the more experienced Wikipedians should tinker with the templates. By the way, when it comes to the content of the vandalism in question, I suspect an ulterior motive in calling the culprit a 4-year-old-chimp. ^_^ Erik the Appreciator 01:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: What are we going to do about Vandalism?

message: As a large, time consuming project, I believe nearly all the Pokémon entires could use some help in maintaining a constant rhythem, if you will. Possibly, we should come up with a fairly standard way of maintaining the information given among the "Biology", "Video Game", and "Anime" categories in the Pokémon articles.  For example, evolution levels, as I've seen, can  be found in the intorduction of the article, or in the "Video Game" section, but this always differs from article to article.  
A lot of the information can be found in different categories and commonly differes from article to article.  Perhaps we should come up with a set of "invisible rules" that can help the members of the PCP keep information more organized.  
Compare Altaria to Zubat, as you can see evolution level is found in the "video game" section for Altaria and in the intrduction for Zubat.  To make information navigating easier for users who want information quick, perhaps making a information distribution list could be concocted. (i.e. All evolution information should be placed under "In the video game"; All Pokédex related information (including number and information from the entry) should be included in the Introduction) 
Realizing anyone can edit the entries, it would be the PCP's responsibility to inform other users on how the articles should be written (for flow and coherency purposes), should it be decided said information will have a precise place.
Yes, no, maybe so (questions?)? Enigmatic timbre0x 05:31, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
