Current focus articles
Current 'Species' Article Focus: Crawdaunt
What you can do
Implement Template:Pokestart.- Format etymology, appearance and other notes in the introduction, as in Quilava.
- Rename Biology, and merge it into one paragraph, after you rewrite it.
- Work on the video games, use Cloyster as a reference on how to.
Mention that Aqua grunts use them in the games.- Add TCG and anime introductions, per Quilava.
- Mention Team Aqua's Crawdaunt, and others, from the anime.
- Check Serebii's manga section to find out about Team Aqua's Crawdaunt again.
- Check Psypokes Deck Dex on Crawdaunt about the TCG appearances.
- Remove Original Research and reference loads! Highway Daytrippers 17:13, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- What are reference loads? --Brandon Dilbeck
- It's means reference a lot. XD I forget people are from America. Highway Daytrippers
- Oh! :) I thought you wanted to remove something called "reference loads". --Brandon Dilbeck
- It's means reference a lot. XD I forget people are from America. Highway Daytrippers
- What are reference loads? --Brandon Dilbeck
- Keep in mind that we want to refer to Crawdaunt as the whole species (plural) and not refer to a singular Crawdaunt in the intro, characteristics, and video games sections. --Brandon Dilbeck 20:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Make the Characteristics section out-of-universe! --The Raven's Apprentice (Talk|Contribs) 06:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
What's been done
- Implemented "Pokestart". Also added some source needed templates for questionable information.--Ac1983fan(yell at me) 19:42, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Added TCG card. Alvin6226 talk 02:18, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Added some appearence info-I assume there's no rule that says you must put your name on the list before contributing. -Amarkov 03:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
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 "Pokémon 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 Pokémon Trainer section!
