Most months are abbreviated in news style. "January" becomes "Jan." Also, "on" is unnecessary in front of dates in most cases. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 18:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC) | Most months are abbreviated in news style. "January" becomes "Jan."

But months are written out without abbreviations almost everywhere else on the site. I don't see why this "news style" thing has to be followed ''that'' strictly. The "on" seemed necessary to me because there was an "in" almost immediately after it in that sentence. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 19:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC) | :But months are written out without abbreviations almost everywhere else on the site.

Also, many other articles have fully written out month names aswell. I don't understand why you make such edits that don't correct anything that was false before. "January" isn't false. I'm not sure about the "on" and I understand the point of removing the amazon link, but this thing with month names is just silly. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 19:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC) | :Also, many other articles have fully written out month names aswell.

:By the way: Writing either "Web site" or "website" doesn't make a difference, both is apparently correct. Yet another pointless edit. :( --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 21:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

:::I would like to see a legit page that defines "news style" that strictly that it dictates writers to abbreviate month names. I don't see anything like that in the Wikipedia article about news style. And you are always repeating yourself, always repeating "follow news style, follow news style, follow news style!" Why can't you say something new and get more certain?! | |||
::: Also, I beleive the contents of the articles are more important for being seen as a news service, not whether month names are abbreviated or not! | |||
:::Probably you won't answer me now anymore like you did before until I do something "wrong" again in an article to get your attention. -_- --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 09:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
:::I checked the Style Guide page (not "news style", you were telling me the wrong term!) again (I was certain that I had read it before) and I see the bit about abbreviating dates now. | |||

:::Also, you should really become more communicative. You always write "do this, do that; it is done that way, it is done this way" without explaining. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 10:38, 30 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
::::I am sorry for the lack of effective communication. The most widely-accepted English-language news style is [[wp:AP Stylebook|AP Style]]. This is what I use on my college paper, and it is what most U.S. news organizations use. Of course, I don't expect people not in a real-life journalism field to memorize or even know any of the special formatting. That's why ''I'' go in to pretty much every article and make cleanup edits. I edit Zhen's stuff all the time; it doesn't mean I think you're not making good contributions. In the simplest terms, you need not worry about my aesthetic edits because they aren't going to change the content of the article. | |||

Why did you change "Yukikabli" to "Yukikaburi"? Its bp page says the former is the trademark. And especially so long after the article was posted... --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 01:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
:I noticed it just today, sorry. "Yukikabli" seemed strange, so I went to look for some Japanese merchandise displaying the name in latin letters and found one, showing "Yukikaburi". It appears to be the correct romanization. Have a look at [[bp:User_talk:Nyoo#Yukikaburi?|my Bulbapedia discussion page]] too. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 02:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

Excuse me Nyoo, I am a user of Bulbapedia and at the moment I am trying to access it but it says error. Can oyu tell why? --[[User:Prongs|Prongs]] 09:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
:There have been some server issues that were probably caused at Bulbapedia. That's all I know. But apparently Bulbapedia's up again. o.op --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 14:05, 25 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Probably due to new Mediawiki thing I think.

== About the CMYK -> RGB conversion issue == | |||
As you remarked [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File_talk:Pokemon_SoulSilver_Version_box.jpg here], I did not originally convert CMYK to RGB, later downloaded Photoshop trial to convert, but that didn't do too well. What converter are you using? I'd love to do a good conversion on images like the Bulbasaur.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#88AADD">''immewnity''</span>]][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 13:55, 9 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
