Errors that I found in Bulbapedia.

[rafaelluik]

While editing of Bulbapedia is temporarily disabled for non-staff members, I'll be posting here the errors I find on it so the administrators can change it for us...

Here we go...

• In Giovanni page: "the Gym Battle will earn the player TM26 (Earthquake), instead of Fissure}}."
  > Fisurre}}
  
  
• In Pokéathlon page "he lost to Yūta and his >> Snorlax << in Hurdle Dash."
  > Snorlax links to the Yūta page instead of Yūta_(anime)#Pokemon
  
  
• In Starter Pokémon page: "After the player collects all 16 gym badges, Professor Oak will offer the player one Kanto Starter Pokémon at his lab in Pallet Town. After the player defeats Red in Mt. Silver, Steven Stone will appear in the Silph Co. building in Saffron City. Talk to Steven and he will give the player one of the Hoenn Starter Pokémon."
  > It doesn't gives info on which Pokémon will be received, it must be added that the player chooses which one he/she wants.

Using the search button is hard, I know.

They told me to make a thread. Sorry[?].

 

[Our Wasted Years]

Calm down. If an Admin approves then whatever, just seems pointless when there is a whole thread about this.

 

[rafaelluik]

An admin don't need to approve what I said. I already proved that they told me to make a thread.
Didn't you clicked in the link I put in the "told me" words?

that was an error on Archaic's part. all of these notable corrections should be noted in the thread Insomniac listed because it would get pretty hectic if everyone created their own topics, but thanks for bringing this stuff to attention.

1. TM26 has always been and probably will always be Earthquake. Giovanni gives out TM26 in Gen III, whereas in Gen I he gave out TM27 which contained Fissure at the time.

2. Easily fixed, not really too important though, all you gotta do is scroll down to the obvious section, unlike an items page or something.

3. Always implied to be a choice if it's "one of".

 

[rafaelluik]

I have to disagree with you.

The error is not the text! The error is that Fissure is not linked. :x

2. Easily fixed, not really too important though, all you gotta do is scroll down to the obvious section, unlike an items page or something.

Not important? "all you gotta do is scroll down to the obvious section"? What if the visitor is using a mobile device or a small screen computer?

3. Always implied to be a choice if it's "one of".

"one of" can means a variety of things for me:
It can be one of them, randomly.
It can be one of them based on your first starter.
It can be one of them based on your ID.
It can be one of them based on yor seed.
Etc.

Yes it is.

You are able to scroll on small computer screens and mobile devices.

Yes you are able, but the best thing is to provide the right content in the short time possible, so the visitor will be more satisfied with Bulbapedia's browsing experience.

I'd also like to point out that the wiki doesn't need to spell everything out because people are incapable of using deductive reasoning (and they aren't). Besides, regardless of whether someone thinks they're going to get a specific one, most people would go get it anyways. Free. Hoenn/Kanto. Starter. And then they'll discover they get a choice, assuming they couldn't work that out for themselves.

It's a pointless complaint. It's obvious there is a choice. You always get to choose a starter. If this was any different the pedia would say so.

And on the fissure thing, fissure is linked THREE lines above your complaint segment.

And on the Yuta thing... the page is so small that you're in the pokemon segement to begin with on large screens and on small screens. On mobile devices like the blackberry I have, you have to scroll down on every page anyways.

Sorry I don't think as you are thinking. When I access Bulbapedia I want to know exactly what I'll receive at a point of the game, or exactly what I have to do in this point. If it doesn't gives me the exactly information I want to know so there's no reason to access Bulbapedia because I'd discover everything by myself.

OK I KNOW BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT >>>>> }} <<<<< IS THERE. What is the difficult seeing that?

Blackberry haves a big screen compared to other mobile devices. This makes a little difference but it makes!!

If an admin aren't going to edit these things I'll edit by myself. In few hours the editing of Bulbapedia will be unlocked.

In few hours the editing of Bulbapedia will be unlocked.

Then what was the point of making this? If you knew this already, and you knew editing was going to open soon, and no one was asking these questions, why go through all the trouble of asking someone to fix it for you?

I didn't know that the editing would be unlocked in the time I created that topic... :dodgy:
Please stop to disturb me!! Did you created this account just for disturbing others?? :banghead:

 

[Maverick Nate]

How is posting in a forum thread disturbing you? Why don't you just ignore any new posts in this forum. They are obviously upsetting you.

...

Anyone seen the opening of the Spoony Experiment when Spoony is playing Final Fantasy? I'm doing that exact same look.

Wow... yeah.

Anyways, I'd also like to say that I created this account a year ago. I just prefer it if people act logically. You learned that editing would be open in a few hours. There suddenly became no reason for this thread. Actually there was no reason to begin with since there is already a thread for this...

 

[rafaelluik]

Sorry, haven't listened, I'm ignoring you... ;-)

So we're done here? Fantastic. Let's use the thread that was specified on the first page of this thread. For reference, big complaints/issues/problems party going on right here. That keeps everything in one place for us lazy admins to find easily.
