Thankyou very much for the Butterfree. It's very much appreciated. :) Going straight on my user page, that! Thanks again. Double Dash 22:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Hovering over your barnstars
Hey Highway, I was just stopping by to let you know that users using Popups cannot hover over your barnstars and see the "alt" text, instead they just see the image link page. (I know this is true with Firefox, not sure about IE) — Mets 501 (talk) 12:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm not sure what to do about the problem. I'm using IE, so I'm not aware of the other problems. I'll probably add the the captions and barnstars to a user page. Thanks for pointing this out, H ig hway Return to Oz...  12:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize to me! I was just pointing it out (and it also looks like you just now got another barnstar below!).  Writing the captions is a good way. You could try playing around with click if you want., although I'm not sure if you can get anywhere with that (perhaps that template with a self-link so that Wikipedia won't render it as a link?) — Mets 501  (talk) 12:26, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a full size trophy case here. Thank you for pointing it out, and good luck in your RfA. :) H ig hway Return to Oz...  13:30, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Naetle, Hikozaru, Pochama
Hi, I was just wondering - would numbering these Pokémon really be considered OR? Because it'll be obvious to a lot of people, and it's pretty pointless wondering about it - when it's definite that these will be the Pokémon numbers (387, 390, 393) going on what Nintendo does with other games. It just doesn't seem to me like OR. If you agree, I'll add the numbers. Double Dash 16:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * To quote WP:OR:-


 * Original research is a term used in Wikipedia to refer to material placed in articles by Wikipedia users that has not been previously published by a reliable source. It includes unpublished material, for example, arguments, concepts, data, ideas, statements, or theories, or any new analysis or synthesis of published material that appears to advance a position — or, in the words of Wikipedia's co-founder Jimbo Wales, that would amount to a "novel narrative or historical interpretation".


 * As far as the articles go, the only reliable source when it comes to the Pokédex entries, is an official guide of the games themselves. While it may seem obvious, it's still original research. Sorry, H ig hway Return to Oz...  16:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Just a note
Thanks for pointing him to me (I'm honored :). A disambiguation page is pretty appropriate, but Kevin can stay where it is; I created the disambiguation page at Kevin (disambiguation) and took care of linking to it. I also left a note on that user's page, to give him the heads up. -- Nataly a 19:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yay! Your talk page box is nice and soothing now! :D -- Nataly a  20:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Dr. B's Red vs. Blue barnstar spam
Hi there. Just wondering how / where do you think this issue should be reported? around 20 users seem to have been given the spam stars, and I dunno, some may actually deserve barnstars. And User:Dr. B seems to be on permanent wikibreak. Bwithh 21:30, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

A smile for you...


has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing! Michael 22:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Deletion information
The reason for deletion was fair-use img used only in templates (on PUI >2 weeks). I guess it had been put at Possibly unfree images, and was there since July 22. If you want, you can talk with the deleting admin, Angr. Hope that helps. -- Nataly a 11:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

quilava...
you knew it was coming.... didn't you? I realize that you spent a lot of time working on that section. And i kept much of it intact. I hardly feel like you even really spent the time to compare the articles because if you had you would have at least kept the grammatical and technical corrections i made. please respond either on my talk page or on Talk:Quilava. Zappernapper 23:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

... well since you figured it was fine to just completely reverse someone's work and then leave, i'm reverting quilava, you can discuss it with me when you get back, enjoy germany and don't forget to try the schnitzel (weiner is the best, cause i won't eat veal) Zappernapper 05:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

the type 3 was merely a typo, like i said... and i thought the brief explanations of why rock beats fire added some depth. fixing a typo, and deleting part of a sentence, that's all that's needed. WP:DR Lists of types are redundant when you have a wiki going to further explain it. If ALL the info is right there, what's the point of wikifying it? that's it, i'm done, if you really want to completely change it back go ahead, at least then clean up the grammar and spelling, and fix the mislabelled ref (namely "cyndaquil pokedex entry" it goes to serebii but it say pojo). have a nice vacation Zappernapper 16:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hercules?!
Still, I'd rather that than Harry Potter! Anyway, I've left a note at Talk:Quilava, to try and explain the OR nature of the edits. Enjoy Germany! I was meant to go to Amsterdam with my school band (I'm one of the singers, a tenor), but it clashed with my holiday... smurrayinch e ster(User), (Talk) 17:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

GHe's RfA


you don't need to hide in suitcases...
I'll admit i got a little peeved (ok a lot peeved) that you reverted all my changes then put up a wikibreak sign. i felt like the work i had put into the article had been flushed down the toilet and then that same person ripped out my plumbing and took a plane to... well... Germany. I didn't feel that you were following the wiki quidlines for revisions (specficically on WP:DR) and became defensive. If you had felt the last paragraph (Quilava's moovepool) was too OR simply stating that and removing only that paragraph would been have a lot more considerate (even though i mentioned i wanted feedback on the talk page before deletion so i could have the chance to fix it up). Many of the other edits were good solid changes (like ref corrections, spelling corrections, and obvious grammar corrections) this work was all lost because you simply reverted everything i did. If you want to keep the entire list of adv/dis for the fire-type, i promise to leave it alone until we can discuss it. I've gotten very little actual feedback until recently (and it still doesn't address many other reversions) so I'm sure you can understand why complete reversions were frustrating, even celestianpower only revised and improved things i had added, not reverted them to former errors. I hope you enjoy your trip, and i'm sorry you had to leave with someone arguing with you. Zappernapper 07:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for my Wiffle Bat
Hi HighwayCello,

I just realized I never thanked you for leaving me a Wiffle Bat award. I really was tremendously honored to receive it, I just got caught up in real life around that time. Anyway, a very belated but heartfelt "thank you". Best, Gwernol 04:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Bulbasuar on main page
In reply to your July 29 comment on my talk page - I didn't think the bulbasaur article on the main page was a disaster; other than my mistake (in not transcluding the pokenum template) I thought it went rather well, actually. Raul654 16:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

User page
"HighwayCello are one of the 407 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar Pokémon media franchise..."

I noticed that on Minun's page as well. Did you get the idea from his page, did he from yours, both of you from someone else's, or did you both happen to come up with it? Either way, I like it. --Gray Porpoise 20:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

seing how ur doing
Hey, you may recognize me from the pokemon adoption center 2. I took couple minutes (minutes, hours, same difference) to see what was going on and a i began readinbg about the dude minun. Just curious about what his problem is and why he hates you so much. Bobcheezy 01:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Please upload these pictures and replace the current ones please!
I know, this whole Pokemon picture crisis is dumb and such, but since it was WPM (creator of Pokebeach.com) who cleaned up these pictures, he DEMANDS credit for them by having his site address on the pics, I used paint to add them myself, here are the pics:

This is imortant to me because WPM won't even speak to me anymore, and honestly, I don't blame him, as this is my fault to begin with, so do me this favor and upload these pics of the Pokemon and put them in the right pages please! Hero of legend 22:53, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Disband WP:WFA?
Should we disband WikiProject Featured articles? Minun isn't going to be around and that project is quite pointless with 2 members. Alvin6226 talk 02:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You want to do it or let me? Alvin6226 talk 15:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As Minun (banner user) was the only participant left listed, I've deleted the Project and it's templates. If you ever want to restart it you're free to start afresh and/or ask for the restoration of any of the infrastructure. Hope that helps. --kingboyk 12:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
