replies: text: WHAT?! If the glitches are merged, we need to transwiki the original articles somewhere else. Okay, so they don't belong in an encyclopedia, but they're very informative for people who want to exploit the glitches. And they're much better than their Bulbapedia counterparts.

message: The game is out already but the article has little to no information about it.
I know I have no right to ask anything of you guys but I think you should make it your next project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.65.44.127 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: Yikes, you're doing reference things too? Well, I'll let you do it since I'm fidgety with them.  I did some reorganisation of the pictures and headers and such, but I'll leave you to some cleanup if needed since I'm kinda out of time. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 12:27, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Pokémon Ranger]]? 

message: Since, with the release of D&P later this year (at least in Japan), a lot of new pokemon species articles will be created.  so, I propose we have a template that provides the bare backbone for the species articles.  I have a working version at my userspace, feel free to edit it as you see fit.  So... any comments?--Ac1983fan 21:07, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, cheers  Minun  (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion, its been created, its at Template:Pokestart, cheers  Minun  (talk) 15:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The portal has been updated again, we are now showcasing Eevee. Future candidates can be nominated here, please nominate varied articles, if Umbreon and Eevee have both been showcased recently, don't nominate Flareon. Cheers, Highway Batman! 21:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Portal:Pokémon/Featured article]] 

message: Can someone take a look at Celadon Mansion and clean it up/wikify it?  I'm not familiar with the subject matter but just stumbled upon it, so figured I'd bring it here. Metros232 03:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've had a go at cleaning it up; it seemed to be almost entirely a history of Bill in the Pokémon anime, which is odd since I don't think Bill ever even lived there... smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 06:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the woman was Bill's grandmother.  Anyway, should this just be merged into Celadon City, which already has a transcript of the dimploma?  PCEevee talk 18:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes. Celadon City is just about worthy enough of an article (although in the long run should probably be merged into a list). Celadon Mansion can easily be covered in it - it's certainly not too long and I hope it never will be. —Celestianpower háblame 15:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've performed the merge; I agree that it probably shouldn't have had its own article. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 17:15, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Celadon Mansion]] 

message: The article about pokemon cloning/duplicating (in gold and silver) isn't very informative about what it is, its more like a "how to do" guide, could someong fix it or delete it, I'm not very good at fixing whole articles.Shadoom1 07:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The link to the article in question is Pokémon cloning.  Personally, I think any actual information should just be merged into Pokémon Red and Blue or Pokémon Gold and Silver.  I also would be slightly supportive if somebody proposed that this article should just be deleted.  PCEevee talk 18:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd transwiki it to StrategyWiki or similar. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 21:56, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Featured articles 

message: I've picked up a few tips on how to improve an article:
*Determine if conversions are included
*Determine if standard abbreviations are used for conversions
*Determine if units are spelled out in text
*Determine if last few sections (see also, references, notes, external links) follow WP:GTL
*Determine if extraneous bolding is used
*Determine if categories and interlanguage links are alphabetized
*Determine if quotes have sources
*Show that all fair use images have proper fair use rationales
*Determine if all images have captions
*Find out the number of sections
*Determine if sections or paragraphs are too short 
*Determine if a list is used
*Determine if footnote spacing standards are used (as in WP:FOOTNOTE)
*Find common redunancies
*Time/future issues
*Check w/ U:SUGG to see if any other things are missing
*Improving efficiency
Please put them into good user, cheers  Minun  (talk) 14:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: According to Charizard's peer review, the article Charizard needs references. It has been suggest we search for a reference on the internet that fits the ifnroamtion thats given, and then use it, cheers  Minun  (talk) 18:06, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I just did some "experiments" on my Gold with the Gold/Silver glitch city and I put a whole lot of info in the disscussion bit, could some one put it in the article in a more Wikipedia-like format than its currently in. Shadoom1 03:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More G/S Glitch City info 

message: First of all, can an admin dig out :Image:16pidgey.png? I have a source, but I never knew it was up for deletion. Second of all, can I ask people to implement Template:Pli, a template that provides a source and a fair use rationale? For instructions on how to use it, see Template talk:Pli.
