User talk:DoveSmith

Welcome to Bulbapedia, DoveSmith!

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:

Be nice to everyone. It's in the code of conduct.
Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
Use wikicode and link templates when adding content to a page.
Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the manual of style.
You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the userspace policy.
Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our FAQ. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The staff won't bite.
Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
For more handy links, see the welcome portal.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!

Your edits

Please do not make edits simply to add or remove spaces or line breaks from articles. These edits don't contribute to the wiki, and also go against the prevailing style. Thank you! --Abcboy (talk) 16:08, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

As abcboy said, please do not make edits simply to remove line breaks or spaces. You have continued doing this. If you still persist, you may be blocked. Especially since it looks to me like you just want to make these edits to become autoconfirmed. That's not appropriate. We want quality edits, not pointless make-work.

On a slightly different topic, please do not welcome users who have not edited anything. Tiddlywinks (talk) 11:36, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

@User talk:Tiddlywinks Don't be rude! DoveSmith (talk) 11:43, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

He's not being rude. Do not make pointless edits that does not change the appearance of an article. You are not cleaning anything up. Thank you.--Force Fire 12:24, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Issuing warnings

Do not take it upon yourself to issue warnings or threaten other users with blocks. Only staff may do this. If you do this again, you will be blocked. --SnorlaxMonster 11:47, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

User talk:SnorlaxMonster Don't threaten me like that. You may be blocked if you continue. DoveSmith (talk) 12:57, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Indefinite block

Due to your uncivil behavior towards others, especially to staff members, you have been blocked indefinitely. You cannot go around ordering warnings and block threats to other users, you do not have the authority to do such things. Users are expected to abide by the code of conduct, be civil to one another. Your behavior and mainspace edits also leads me to believe that you are not here to contribute for the good of the site, which is also a factor in your block. Thank you.--Force Fire 13:15, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
