Hi Devo, how goes?

Right, this one is going to be a little hard for me, because it's not in my nature to be confrontational.

You deleted this page, with the reasons being that it didn't fit in with the way that you want Pokémon articles written, and that it wasn't the next one on the list. I'm sorry, but you did the wrong thing there, and here are the reasons why:

1) It's a new user. We really need to encourage these people to get better at the craft, it's not as if we have editors lining up to contribute. Not everyone can write a passable article straight off the bat, and nowhere does Monster Wiki state what the standard layout for a page is, never mind what a Pokémon article should look like.

2) Skipping ahead in the Pokédex. Writing an article should not be a chore, writing about something you feel passionate about should be an enjoyable experience. There are over seven hundred Pokémon, and expecting new editors to pick up where you left off is unreasonable. As I've stated before, the number of redlinks on this site is atrocious, and while this article did nothing to fix this, it could just as easily have been one that did.

3) You made no effort to polish the page up, you simply deleted it. While as Admins we are expected to police the site, we are also expected to help where help is needed. As I said before, not everyone can write, and tidying things up/rewriting articles is part of our remit. At least try and look like you're interested.
