Just so everyone knows right now the Pokemon pages of Bulbapedia ared being blocked by administrators and the infoboxes are being changed due to a new iPhone Pokedex application that is violating copyright by linking to these pages. The only reason why I am creating this thread is to have people reflect their thoughts on this manner since this issue is potientially affecting the brandwith and advertising that is keeping Bulbapedia alive.
Personally I find this disappointing because some of this stuff (Anime details, new HG/SS details) were stuff that I helped contributed to as a member as well as dealing with vandals. I hope a positive solution to this problem is fixed soon. So please don't buy the application since this is one of the best sites I contributed to other than the Harry Potter wiki.
P.S. I would like this thread locked after the infringement matter is resolved S.P. D. and I will inform you if I need to since I am keeping a watch on this news piece to find out when the matter is resolved.
Anyway here is the link to the news source: http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/IPhone_Application_infringes_on_Bulbapedia_license

I'm not pinning this since I don't see this a super important news item related to this site. Also, no need to act attached to the site, a lot of us have submitted stuff to Bulbapedia.

Sorry, was still compiling with what I learning at the time since this is still important for people to know of this current isssue. Besides I never did directly state for this topic to be pinned anyways.

Dang, so the only way to contribute to bulbapedia is by telling the Admins. I contribute there too but why is it until November 15th?

You can still edit there, just not the articles of the 493 Pokemon.

I thought you asked for that in your PM.

Here's an update, if you click the links at studiobebop.net/products.html#pokedex and click on the App stork or the product review or youtube link that most of the people (Not Bulbapedia members) that post comments are siding with Bulbapedia on this so it is a matter of time to see how this turns out.
From my recent view into this matter I can state that Bulbapedia is one of the sites that had been ripped off by Studio Bebop.
