:The image was previously included on [[User:Zeldasmash]], which was protected by cascading protection. Basically, this means that any file on his page is also protected. I had [[User:PenguinofDeath|PenguinofDeath]] change the Mewtwo icon for the [[:File:MewtwoIcon(SSBM).png|new Mewtwo icon]], so the old file can now be edited, but the new one now cannot.

== Undoing Edits ==
I checked the Sonic page and I see you undid the edit about the infamous April Fools Day joke. While I'm not mad at you or anything I would like to know your reason for undoing it and what you meant by "Duplicate Content". Also, Every other Pokemon character lists their species as who they are. (i.e. Pikachu's species is Pikachu, Pichu's species is Pichu, etc.) Why should Lucario be any different? I did check the Bulbapedia article but "Lucario" is more specific and accurate. Again, I'm not mad at you at all. I just would like you to explain your reasoning for undoing them. [[User:ChuckNorris24|ChuckNorris24]] ([[User talk:ChuckNorris24|talk]]) 17:48, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
:By duplicate content I meant that you just copied the section from the [[list of rumors]] article and pasted it onto the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] page. If you're willing to write a summary of the rumor, that's fine, but having two articles display the exact same content without reason looks unprofessional. About the Pokémon thing: I think the confusion stemmed from the fact that some pages had the Pokémon name, while others gave a more descriptive species, and as the issue was never resolved, gradually the pages were changed over to their current state. It is my belief that while a Pokémon's species is its "name", as in Pikachu's species is "Pikachu", it's more informative if we followed Bulbapedia's convention and used a term such as "Mouse Pokémon" for the species. Otherwise, there would be little purpose in having "species" in the infobox.

Ok, maybe I'll write a summary sometime but not right now. I think I will change all the current Pokemon species to what the Bulbapedia articles say. You've successfully persuaded me to follow Bulbapedia's more informative way. <span style="font-family:AR JULIAN; font-size:12pt">[[User:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Chuck</span>]][[User talk:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Norris</span>]]</span>[[File:24.png|23px]]  18:10, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
The title Mouse Pokémon is what we would consider a sub-species, and for the sakes of consistency (i.e. with Mario being a human and all that), we should list Pichu as a Pichu etc. If you really feel otherwise, it would have been better to bring this up on a talk page, rather than just undoing the edits of others.

I guess you're right. I don't know what I was thinking. Good thing I only changed Pichu's page. I'll change it back. But which method should we go by?<span style="font-family:AR JULIAN; font-size:12pt">[[User:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Chuck</span>]][[User talk:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Norris</span>]]</span>[[File:24.png|23px]]  18:23, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
:Neither, until a decision is made. I'll undo your Pichu edit for now for the sakes of consistency.

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Species Bulbapedia] says that a Pokémon's species is a ''name which identifies the Pokémon based on one of its defining biological characteristics'', which is ''separate'' from the real-world concept of a species. Pikachu's species is Mouse Pokémon, not Pikachu. [[User:Mousehunter321|<font face="Calibri">Mousehunter321</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Mousehunter321|<font face="Calibri">talk</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/Mousehunter321|<font face="Calibri">contributions</font>]])</small> 18:41, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
:The Bulbapedia article on 'Species' specifies it as that way, because the Pokédex has a sub-section called Species, giving the Pokémon these titles. However, these are little more than secondary names, as the fact of the matter is that all Shellder are of the Shellder species. It'd be like listing Mario's species as Plumber. In infoboxes on Bulbapedia, they put these titles as their species, because the infobox is referencing its 'species' from the Pokédex. But this ain't Bulbapedia, it's SmashWiki, and all we use the species section for is to specify a character's general species. Using these sub-species titles on the Pokémon articles would cause for a great inconsistency amongst all the other articles which list a character's true species.

It appears that dots has edited every Pokemon's page (except Lucario's) to say that there species is who they are. Would it be Ok to change Lucario's page?<span style="font-family:AR JULIAN; font-size:12pt">[[User:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Chuck</span>]][[User talk:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Norris</span>]]</span>[[File:24.png|23px]]  19:43, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
:Take note that we have not made a consensus and Dots has been reprimanded [[User talk:Dots#Stop_what_you_are_doing|here]]. And another I think we should take this to a forum.
