Re. Help
Okay, assuming this is the User Wikiguy123 asked me to reply to, I'm still not entirely sure to what extent you need help on these pages so I'll just cover the basics. Below are links to the individual Frontier Brain pages. All except one have not been created yet and those will appear red, just click on them and they will take you to an editing box for whichever character you clicked on. The page for Pyramid King Brandon has already been created, though it's still in need of cleanup and additional info.


 * Factory Head Nolan
 * Arena Tycoon Greta
 * Dome Ace Tucker
 * Pike Queen Lucy
 * Palace Maven Spenser
 * Pyramid King Brandon
 * Salon Maiden Anabel

These pages will need to have an infobox on the characters as well. Use this template for the boxes. Just copy the text under the heading "Usage", paste it into the page your editing, and fill in the corresponding information after the equal sign (=). For an actual example, see the page Ash Ketchum. If you still need help or need anything else, again, let me know. -- Captain Vas 23:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Character's Pokémon
Well, there's nothing wrong with the Regi Pokémon. Just to let you know for future reference, pages on a character's Pokémon should be reserved for that character's main Pokémon that have also appeared in the anime. In Brandon's case it would only be Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. -- Captain Vas 22:12, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you can make a page on Brandon's Pokémon, and group all of them together. The main focus can be on his Regi Pokémon, but you can also include his others too. -- Captain Vas 22:23, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon Anime infobox
Do you mean a box for Pokémon from the Anime series, or something like an episode guide box? -- Captain Vas 22:23, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I was looking around for an episode guide box and found an old one I made on the IL001: Pokémon - I Choose You! page. There's a slight problem though, because it's not a template yet. I'll make it into a template soon, but right now I'm a little busy and will not be back on until tomorrow. -- Captain Vas 22:31, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hold on a second. I noticed that was a lot of text to write in such a small amount of time. Please do not copy from other sites (i.e. Bulbapedia), it's more than enough backing for being blocked. I think most of those episode pages were copied from another site anyway, try to make it more original. Be careful not to do that again or you might get blocked by another admin, lucky for you I caught this before I left. -- Captain Vas 22:46, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Copied material.
I compared your pages on Brandon's Pokémon and others to Bulbapedia's, they are basically the same article with slightly different wording. You can not do that. Just read the site notice, whether its direct copying or slight copying, it is unacceptable.

Obviously you can use other sources for information that you do not know about, but copy/paste with a little rewording isn't right. So from now on be more original, try using some other source other than Bulbapedia. It seems that people are just to tempted to copy from there since its in a wiki-style format. -- Captain Vas 17:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I usually change the the featured article along with other sections around every month, except for the news which is usually updated more frequently. Closer to the end of the month I'll change it.


 * Also, don't take what I said about copying lightly. If there's any more copied text, formats, or templates on your part, you will be blocked. -- Captain Vas 18:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

spelling
please check your spelling. I don't want to clean up your messes--Generalgrievous112 19:13, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Re.
1)I would even refrain from taking all of your images from Bulbapedia. Too many similar images will also make it look like we copied from them. Like I said try using another source, look somewhere else like serebii for anime screenshots or any gaming site for game screenshots.

2)Talk to MarioGalaxy2433g5 for something like that. He sort of handles forum-type things from my understanding. -- Captain Vas 19:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Like I stated before, typing in "kanto gyms" or "Kanto gyms" will automatically take you to "Kanto Gyms" without the use of a redirect page. That goes for all articles too. -- Captain Vas 19:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Captain vas came up with this community project idea, here's expanding on that idea, if no one knows how to make it an official project, than why not make a page called Pokemon:Project Organisation (just an idea) and users who want to help put their name there and then you contact their talk pages and tell them what to do. (you can make a reward like a template that you put on their user page that says they participated in project clean-up (name just came to me) trust me they'll join if it will get them recognition (or me and Generalgrievous112 will) now, could you help the idea please--Ventress112 01:30, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
