Well, I know that Gamefreak uploaded all the images with the best intention of helping, but know what are we gonna do with all the water-marked images? Can they be deleated or not? Because if a purge is inminent I would also like to request to purge the rest of them in favor of some others.

Were you able to figure out a viable plan for that? -[[User:Masamune|Masamune]] 11:54, 6 July 2008 (MDT) | :They can be deleted, yeah.

Wikipedia
I'm not sure if you noticed this, but Wikipedia's so-called Pokemon Project went on the offensive in reducing the Pokemon pages all to short summarized lists. Since the content of all those old articles are no longer in use, it may be worth salvaging them for use on the Gamehiker Wiki. Obviously they would have to be edited to some degree to fit our own page setup, but its a thought worth considering.
How does everyone feel on the matter? Should I discuss it on the Project Pokemon page on the Wikipedia? Let me know. -Masamune 12:59, 25 October 2007 (MDT)
- That depends on what you define as encyclopedic content for the GH. I mean, most of the content is Info about appearances in the anime (what nobody wants in a serious game encyclopedia), TCG info (same as the latter) and some random and mostly unsourced and obvious comments like: "Psyduck is a duck but it can't learn Flying moves". The most useable part is the info of where to catch them in the games and more or less the info of where the names come from. Smash Brother 13:40, 25 October 2007 (MDT)
Images
Well, I know that Gamefreak uploaded all the images with the best intention of helping, but know what are we gonna do with all the water-marked images? Can they be deleated or not? Because if a purge is inminent I would also like to request to purge the rest of them in favor of some others. SBM 08:43, 6 July 2008 (MDT)
