8/8/09 HGSS article

A source would be greatly appreciated. ^tc²₆ tc₂₆ 12:23, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. Pokébeach. —darklord trom 12:23, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Saw it on Filb too. A little later than that other place though. ^tc²₆ tc₂₆ 12:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, everyone will have it. We're late... as usual... which is why I of all people ended up writing the article. —darklord trom 12:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm very sorry

I thought blanking a userpage makes it slated fro deletion. I saw Turtwig A do it to PokeVillian, so I assumed. Please shorten the block. No doubt I deserve one, but a month? Alpha Cu bo ne King 20:54, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Articles

Look. Those articles were NOT properly formatted. Especially the Ranch one.--Mew a.k.a. Immewnity* was here at 22:04, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

OK, go tell the other admins that they weren't good then. I know I'm not 100% certain on the 'news style, so I got two or three other users to look them over before I published them. I was happy. They were happy. The articles told the facts, and that's what matters.

That Ranch one is actually in a worse state now. The way I wrote it gave a lot of background detail which made it clear exactly what the mailbag was, and gave some fan feedback which I think was really an essential part of the article; it's good to be reporting what the fans are thinking of this controversial topic. As the news is currently consistently late (rename to Bulbaolds, perhaps), they were genuine opinions and not something I made up to fill in space. Mentioning a few background details also helps to fill an otherwise short article out, and it will let readers know a few specifics about the update, in an attempt to actually help them understand the article. Furthermore, I deliberately did not use the quote template because of the autocategorization, which I'm not really a fan of. I didn't think it was necessary, not to mention you made a crap job of fixing that up. It really is worse off now.

Anyway. I'm learning the ropes, I admit that. No one's perfect first time round. You ought be aware of that, Immewnity. —darklord trom 23:23, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
