Current 'Other' Article Focus: Pokémon
What you can do
Right, I think we need a change since this hasn't changed since the founding of the project. This is our core topic so really needs to be an FA (though, with very little work it could become a GA and that's a good short term goal). Here's what we need to do:
- A major thing we need is references, references and references some more. Plenty from third party, reputable sources (BBC ...etc...).
- Religion section - what about the other major world religions?
- Needs a "Other media" section for books, toys ...etc...
- Rename "Card Game" to "Pokemon Trading Card Game"
- "Cultural influence" is pitiful. Really pitiful.
- Should we delete the User Contribution bit? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 16:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Which user contribution bit? --Celestianpower háblame 16:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- "Fan User Contributions", absolute crud in my opinion. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 16:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Which user contribution bit? --Celestianpower háblame 16:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Should we delete the User Contribution bit? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 16:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Tag Pokémon-related images with {{Pokefair}}
What's been done
- This section is kept primarily for archival purposes.
- I fixed up the intro. --Celestianpower háblame 15:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Renamed "Card Game" Highway Rainbow Sneakers 16:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Converted references (both of them) Highway Rainbow Sneakers 17:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Changed Pikachu picture in anime section Highway Rainbow Sneakers 17:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Converted all in-line refs to footnotes PCEevee 19:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't think the section on zbtb7 was relevant, considering it has it's own article anyway, and I think we should have more room without it, so I deleted it.--XenoNeon (converse) 10:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Which then was reverted. You can't delete an entire section of a flagship article without consenus. I'd rather have the "other article" references at the top removed. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:59, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- These comments, however, have no relevance. I think we should stick with the article link at the top.--XenoNeon (converse) 11:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Which then was reverted. You can't delete an entire section of a flagship article without consenus. I'd rather have the "other article" references at the top removed. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:59, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Erupting Turtle 19:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC) added a 'Trainers in Ruby and Sapphire' to the Pokemon Trainer section!
