Re: Your Bongo cleanup

Nope, that does make sense. And now that you say that, it sounds familiar. MoS:DP#Piping mentions that. Thanks for the reminder! There were two entires on Bongo that I did that for, so I'll be sure to fix them. -- Natalya 22:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your requests...

Hello, sorry to come back to you so late, but I'm almost never on-wiki on weekends. I deleted the redirects you pointed out to me; you could try to tag them for speedy under G6, but you can also contact me as you did this time....Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 16:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

re: Cop

I had missed that. Thanks for catching it.

Now that you've pointed out that they're two different disambiguation pages, I wonder whether those two pages should be merged. Most disambiguation pages cover such close variations (on the assumption that our readers might make a plausible mistake about the pluralization). Rossami (talk) 02:40, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Captain America (disambiguation)

Can you provide some help with the cleanup you suggest. It's the first time I've created a page like this so whatever help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Especially, if you are willing to discuss what needs to be done on the talk page of the article. Thanks. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sesshomaru. Re [1], what was the problem? I didn't notice anything wrong. Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 09:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean? All edits have been made to help it reach MOS:DAB standards. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

No worries, having seen the subsequent edits and had another read of MOS:DAB I understand now. Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 04:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Requesting a merge request

Apologies for the late reply. I've merged the history of Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls to Basilisk (manga). Basilisk (Mutant) referred to one character, whereas Basilisk (comics) referred to several, so I don't think it needs a history merge. Spellcast (talk) 22:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Yamucha

Someone has changed all the names on the Yamucha page to FUNimation dub versons. Those are not the names we are useing, so we need to fix that. However he used multiple edits, and I do not have rollback (but you do), could you please fix it (example: Yamucha-->> Yamcha). It would be rather annoying to try and undo each one, or manually fix them. They were good faith edits. - Prede (talk) 00:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Taken care of ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I was going to attempt to fix it, but it was way too many to undo or manually change. Thanks again. - Prede (talk) 05:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

You know, you could have fixed it by clicking the edit dated "02:18, 19 May 2008 Sesshomaru (Talk | contribs) (17,702 bytes) (m)" and simply pressing the save button. That's what I did, except I used the WP:POPUPS tool to get it done quicker ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Majin Boo

I requested semi-protection for Majin Boo and it went through. We'll have a week of peace, and that'll hopefully hinder the name changes.--Koji†Dude ^(C) 03:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I've watchlisted Majin Boo Saga. It seems to be getting the same ammount of traffic as Majin Boo, so a semi request would probably get ok'd. We could just ask User:VanTucky to personally do it, though. He's the one that protected Majin Boo. He owes me a favor anyway since I supported him in his RfA. ;-) --Koji†Dude ^(C) 19:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Done.--Koji†Dude ^(C) 19:32, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Batman

I'm okay with that. I personally have no problem with the idea of working those two best-known nicknames into the intro. They just don't go under aliases. I've seen some past discussions on this before. It might be worth hunting through edit histories to find them before investing much time on the edit. Doczilla _STOMP! 07:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Storm (disambiguation)

Well, lookee there! Sorry for the misinformed edit. I've been away for a while and the guidelines have shifted on me. I sometimes have trouble keeping up with the "consensus"! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SlackerMom (talk • contribs)

Thanos serial-reverting

[Galactus] will probably work out, as it's basically a case of semantics. However, [Thanos] on the other hand keeps being hounded with the same censor-edits over and over, which give a highly misleading picture of what was explicitly stated to happen within the comics. Everything censored is completely matter-of-fact as far as I'm aware, as opposed to the serial-restored (no compromises whatsoever acceptable apparently) misleading version. Help would be very appreciated, as it seems like User:Asgardian and especially User:TheBalance have some sort of Galactus-promotion team-up. Dave (talk) 20:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Beelzebub

Sand Land isn't really long enough to necessitate additional images, especially since the three main characters are already depicted on the volume cover. References also seem unnecessary; since there's only one volume everything in the plot synopsis is attributable to it. As to its GA status, do what the handful of GA Pokémon articles did and simply de-list it. ~SnapperTo 22:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Trimming the Dragon Ball lists

I plan on getting the four lists trimmed down to around 25KB each (at most) in the near future. I'll be doing stuff like condensing the pointless character entries into groups (entire Ginyu force and RR Army down to two paragraphs each) and removing film characters (having the redirects go right to the films). It looks like the Dragon Ball taskforce is anything but living, so do you know of anyone who'll oppose and revert instantly? TTN (talk) 21:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The main potential problem has always been someone (especially anons) reverting and being persistent about it. I'll give it a shot for now, though. TTN (talk) 00:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm in no real position to revert at this point, so that'll have to be up to you. Right now, I'll remove the one film characters and really minor characters from the alien list. If that doesn't drag up any crap by tomorrow, I'll get to trimming the entires and move on to the other lists. TTN (talk) 00:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

What should be done with the name puns and the multiple voice actors? Are there any actual sources dealing with each individual one or is it all just OR? Their existence should be mentioned somewhere it can be sourced, but each individual pun probably should be ignored. The voice actors really should be mentioned within the prose, which would be ugly with all of the different ones. I would just say to mention the most prominent English one and the Japanese one. Thought? TTN (talk) 14:21, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding this comment: "The anons and newbs can be a burden, I agree. We'll just "rv" them if they get in the way. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)"

As frustrating as it might be, don't go into this with that kind of mindset. If you do you'll eventually start reverting the people who actually have reasonable arguments, and not just the fly-by-night editor who didn't bother to read the discussion. -- Ned Scott 06:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Good work with the alien list, are you trimming the earthlings list too?--Koji†Dude ^(C) 17:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Appearently, that anon is that indefinitely blocked Zarbon guy from a while ago ([2]). You may want to report it if you care at all. As long as he isn't going to bother reverting anymore, I don't really care. TTN (talk) 20:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, the lists are all small enough if you still plan on merging them. If that happens, I'll run through and switch out for the dub names (that went through, right?) and finish up any other minor cleanup to get it to a decent point. TTN (talk) 22:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Piccolo

Fixed it. It was a reference format error that caused the problem [3] A reference about James Marsters added a few days ago was missing a "/" at the end of the ref link. ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 02:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah they're on my watchlist. I'd be happy to help out. ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 04:01, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Vandal issue

I think Jtrainor's removal of your warnings was a parody of how I removed his. I'll leave him a personalized message in place of your warning to try and reach him. I'm not sure why, but he seems to have some kind of grudge against you. Hopefully the protection you requested goes through and he'll go towards the talk page so whatever this is can get sorted out. Whatever happens, though, keep WP:3RR in mind.--Koji†Dude ^(C) 02:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

re; Vandalism at Powers and abilities of the Hulk

Thanks for the note at my talkpage regarding the above. I had a very brief look at the article page and talkpage, and it appears that the protecting admin will perform the required edits to get the page back to its proper condition - providing there is consensus as to what is required. As the notice says, the protection is there to promote discussion. As an admin I cannot edit a protected article on the request of one party. I suggest the editors agree among themselves on the talkpage how the article should be, and then approach me or the protecting admin to enact the change. A quick way to do this would be to agree to revert back to a previous version, identify which one, ask an admin to do the revert and then lift protection, and then do any agreed necessary further edits. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Fine. I hadn't watchlisted it, but will do so now. ps. I apologise for not responding at my talkpage as request - but I thought it unwise to change now, so am responding here. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

List of Dragon Ball chapters

I decided due to make the list of dragon ball manga chapters. I, mean, its the primary franchise and there is no article. here we have the isbn and reldates. In Viz Media it should be easy to get them, but there is a big difference between the both releases. Thoughts? Answer in my talk page.Tintor2 (talk) 22:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Song move

I just wanted to check this. There is also No Such Thing (Chris Cornell song) and I can't find any discussion on which is better taking the top slot. There seem better solutions in the absence of such consensus: Turn No Such Thing (song) into a set index or make it a redirect to No Such Thing. Anyway just a few other options, If you still want it moved I'll sort it out (if anyone complains I can always move it back ;) (Emperor (talk) 11:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC))

If I've understood you correctly (and I am starting to get a sneaking suspicion I haven't) I made No Such Thing (song) into a set index. That does future proof it but if you meant to turn it into a redirect to No Such Thing then go for it - I have made the incoming links point to the right songs. (Emperor (talk) 19:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC))

Yeah that could work nicely. You'd want to do a quick that there is nothing else out there that'd require it being moved again soonish (although if the links are left to go via "(film)" it could be simple.

It might also be that you'd want to "see also" No Such Thing as Vampires, TANSTAAFL or There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake (the only other "no such things" on Wikipedia at the moment).

That said it could fixed with "(disambiguation)" if more came out of the woodwork and then we could kick around the best solution. So unless something major crops up I'd favour moving the film to the top slot and hatnoting "(song)". (Emperor (talk) 19:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC))

I haven't done this yet but will get on it soon. What I thought I'd note is that {{SIA}} has been updated so we can tag the songs set index as {{SIA|songs}} but it really needs doing within the context of a project that can define what they want/need from such a page. If you were interested in pursuing that then feel free to drop the Songs Project a note and see if they are interested in pursuing this angle (if there are enough need it could certainly be helpful). For now I'll just leave it set to {{SIA}}. (Emperor (talk) 15:53, 10 June 2008 (UTC))

Manga YYH

I have much of it - whatever is in English, I have it :) WhisperToMe (talk) 23:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

• I will have a lot of spare time on my hands during weekends. Anyhow, I have some profiles in Volumes 1-2, so I can use them to source some information. Unfortunately I have not seen any "Character guides" that I could use to flesh creator/concept development for YYH characters. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Saturday would be great - thank you very much :) WhisperToMe (talk) 23:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

BTW the logo I reposted is of the VIZ Media translation of the original manga - The logo of the Japanese manga is seen in the book cover shot. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

• Well, I would like for the logo to remain, but it doesn't matter what section it is in. If you feel the logo belongs in a different section, that's fine :) WhisperToMe (talk) 23:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Yep, that's good :) WhisperToMe (talk) 11:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Arnold (character)

Let's see... most of the fictional characters are covered on Arnold (given name). I know that WP:WikiProject Anthroponymy states that the surname pages should contain fictional characters. If the fictional characters are actually known as just "Arnold", then I think it's appropriate to also include them on the disambiguation page, like we would for anything else. If not, though, I think they can be solely at Arnold (given name). So, I'd say merge any information that is on Arnold (character) to Arnold (given name) if it's not already there, and then just have a link at Arnold (disambiguation) to Arnold (given name), like is already there. What do you think? -- Natalya 23:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Conservatively, I'd say only the people at Arnold (character) who are really referred to as just "Arnold", I'd think. Arnold (Hey Arnold!) and Arnold the paperboy seem to be the appropriate ones. But, it probably won't do a whole lot of harm to put them all on the disambiguation page. -- Natalya 00:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I took out the dictionary definition, but added Wiktionary link. Should be okay. -- Natalya 12:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

RE: your idea at WT:MOS-AM

Could you explain to me, in here or my talk page, exactly what you mean? I'm a little hazy as to what you're getting at with "'(anime)' dabbing for anime that have not broadcast, and use '(TV series)' for anime that do air, or did in the past." A concrete example would be nice.

But I'll say this: if an upcoming anime project is confirmed to be a TV series, then a "(TV series)" dab would be used; if the format hasn't be disclosed (as was the case with Mardock Scramble), then the neutral "(anime)" would be the best choice until we know if it's a "TV series", "film", or whatever.--Nohansen (talk) 22:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Group images

Do you know of any Dragon Ball images that contain more than just the primary characters? If it comes down to it, the one screen at the end of the Dragon Ball Z opening can be used, but it lacks a lot of characters. Though it is less than ideal, the Ultimate Battle 22 character select screen contains a good amount of them. Any others you can think of? TTN (talk) 17:10, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

This bot is making a lot of mistakes

Someone needs to get it to revert itself on redirects which intentionally targeted Dragon Ball (disambiguation page). I have reverted one, but the bot needs to undo the rest. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 20:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The correct way to intentionally link to a disambiguation page is to link to Dragon Ball (disambiguation) for example. There were hundreds of bad links to Dragon Ball from articles, these have to be distinguished from the intentional links. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Links_to_disambiguation_pages for more info. The best solution I think would be to move Dragon Ball (franchise) to Dragon Ball, and move the current Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball (disambiguation). That was not the consensus from Talk:Dragon_Ball_(manga)/Archive_1#Requested_move though, so I'm not going to do that unilaterally. Anyway, the bot is not automated, the problem is if you have a few intentional links to Dragon Ball along with literally hundreds of incorrect links to it they will not be disambiguated as you intend. They will be disambiguated though, inbound links to a disambiguation page are always seen as a problem, and will find their way to the various logs etc. If you have some way of distinguising which ones are intentional I can revert them, but this situation isn't stable, and the next random person to fix this will probably "fix" them the same way I did. - cohesion 22:15, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Question is, can you program it to re-target those links to the Dragon Ball dab? I'd be a pain for me to the edits manually. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think I changed any of the links to Dragon Ball (disambiguation), only the ones to Dragon Ball. I'm not exaggerating when I say there were hundreds to Dragon Ball, most of which would be undesirable to you also, if I understand you correctly. Here is an example of the most common type [4] I need some way to distinguish between those and ones that should go to a disambiguation page. The normal way people do that is to link to Dragon Ball (disambiguation) directly per Wikipedia:Disambiguation so when people fix the disambiguation they can see, "oh, this one was on purpose". Does that make sense? - cohesion 12:57, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't know if I completely understand. Can you change them to Dragon Ball (disambiguation)? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 15:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Any that are intentional should be to Dragon Ball (disambiguation), I just don't know which ones are intentional. That change I linked above is not one that you are saying should link to Dragon Ball (disambiguation) right? - cohesion 02:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Latest JJonz socks

Sorry about that, I thought someone else had taken care of that (I may have confused the report on the latest TyrusThomas4Lyf sock, whom someone else blocked ... in fact, that's exactly what happened). I also took care of SkerrycruU2 (talk · contribs), the one he used to blank the user page.

I really thought he'd gotten bored and given up. I guess not. I should start an LTA section on him. Daniel Case (talk) 22:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I refactored your comment into the bulleted "support" (and "oppose") format commonly used in other "votes" in Wikipedia.

Perfect Master (disambiguation)

Hello Sesshomaru, In the past I have known you to be experienced with disambiguation pages and you have helped me in the past. I was hoping you could take a look at Perfect Master. One editor insists on making the only actual article for the term "perfect master" (Perfect Master (Meher Baba)) appear to not have an article by piping it from the word "Meher Baba". I have tried to work with him but he wants to edit-war apparently. I was taken by surprise by this attitude as I actually sought out his help. [5] I thought maybe some other eye would help. So please take a look. Thank you. Tommytocker (talk) 16:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Discussion related to MOS:DAB

Visor

As silly as it may sound, you will need a reliable source that confirms him being on a moon

• Confirmed: it sounds silly. What's more, why stop there? If your reasoning were to stand, we'd also need a reliable source that he actually is Alan Bean and that the picture is a real photo and not a computer rendering. In short: if your objection is valid, the whole picture goes away with its description. If it's not, your edit should be undone.--Exidor (talk) 13:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Obvious Sockpuppets

I would like to point out that there's some obvious sockpuppets of Wiki-star floating around. I am extremely sick and tired of this person and I feel that by now, he would have quit, after more than four or so years of causing chaos on the same wikipedia pages over and over and over again, adding gibberish, and causing mayhem by reverting with a slew of sockpuppets. As if it weren't enough that he used my user name along with the user names of a slew of other wikipedia members and administrators to create sockpuppets, he has still not stopped this behavior. I had to bring this up to you, since many people find that ignoring him is the best thing to do. However, he recently came to my user page with an anonymous ip address and vandalized. He also recently posted a message on a forum of mine saying that he will incessantly continue to vandalize every wikipedia page he can just so he can have me banned. Basically, it's what he did to have me banned in the first place approximately 2 years ago. I am still annoyed over that affair. I don't know how to put an end to this person's stupidity. However, I do think that this calls for some protection against his relentless vandalism. I have adhered to wikipedia standard and I find myself agreeing with TTN and others when it comes to trimming the profiles. This person has however promised to continue causing chaos just for the sake of doing it. I find this in itself moronic. I'm sure you're as sick of this garbage as I am, that is why I am bringing it up. Here are two recent names I can easily attribute to his stupidity: Frieza and Vegeta Forever and Count Magnus Lee. I know that it is wrong to assume the worst of anyone, but when all things point in the same direction, there is only one thing we can do which is wrong...and to do nothing is the worst of all. Maybe the pages should be protected from edits by new users, in order to prevent further escalating problems in the future, which at this rate, is bound to happen again. In order to prevent further problems, one must deal with them before they become greater. I trust you as a fellow contributor and I know you will help put a stop to this menace. Zarbon (talk) 23:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I have tied the following ip addresses with his recent activity: 71.61.116.66 and 71.236.93.96. Zarbon (talk) 23:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I responded to your last comment on my talk page. I agree with you on the names and overall context of the format. I was unaware of that argument. Thank you for bringing it up. Zarbon (talk) 02:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I have contacted the fellow you asked me to contact. I would however like to point out that he has apparently created another sockpuppet, this time King Zarbon in a disgusting attempt to frame me, as he has been doing in the past. Zarbon (talk) 23:02, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Did you notice how he followed around my talk page with Frieza and Vegeta Forever to the category creation dispute...this is disgusting already. All he's doing is following around my contributions and adding gibberish. Zarbon (talk) 01:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Abtract

Abtract is back from his block, and seems to still be determined to harrass me through Meerkat Manor. Has he followed you any since he came back? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 21:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Judging from his contributions, he hasn't done any edits to incite me ... yet. What did he do this time? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Left a note behind my answer on the talk page. Someone tried to add "fan reaction" citing the discovery forums. I removed and they asked why on the talk page. I explained reliable sources and OR, and Abtract came behind to argue against me.-- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Definitely seems like harrassment to me, he seems to be commenting for the sake of it. Perhaps you should notify User:Sephiroth BCR. Or would you rather wait and see what happens next? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I let Sephiroth know, but since it was just the one likely nothing to be done. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Are you aware of yesterday's episode? This guy just can't be reasoned with, seems he enjoys pissing us off or somethin'. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 01:42, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw it, was waiting to see if an admin said anything to him. He does seem to just get off on annoying other people. :( -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Reverted edits of a possible sockpuppet

I have reverted this edit made by a new user to your tslkpage. I think it is a sockpuppet of Rippakrator0.7, who has been blocked indef. This user is also reverting edits by Collectonian from a couple of days back. Probably a sock. Lradrama 08:45, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The Shadow

Thanks very much for fixing the disambiguation paragraph at the top of that article. I'm not experienced in the precise format that's required, and just sort of "winged it" to make sure that it didn't continue to say that it was a redirect to itself; your improvement of the syntax is much appreciated.

Don't mention it ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to thank you for this one too, that was a nice catch. Hewinsj (talk) 12:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I didn't realize. I did want to point out though Shadow is the main character of American Gods but is not in it's sequel Anansi Boys. Could we just say that he is the main character of the novel American Gods and leave the entry at that? Hewinsj (talk) 02:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I guess "universe" would look obscure. Yeah, go for it ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:49, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Nothing but Troubles

Thanks I very much appreciate your note, but as you can see, WP:CAPS contradicts you:

"In general, each word in titles of books, films, and other works takes an initial capital, except for articles ('a,' 'an,' 'the'), the word 'to' as part of an infinitive, prepositions and coordinating conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., 'on,' 'from,' 'and,' 'with'), unless they begin or end a title or subtitle."

Also, regarding official capitalizations, from MOS:TM:

"Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, regardless of the preference of the trademark owner."

As you can see, this clearly fits, regardless of whether or not the film is intentionally named "Nothing But Trouble" (or even "nothing but trouble.") Personally, I don't prefer this method, but this is not ambiguous in the style manual, and if you would like to propose an alternative, I suggest you do so there; I for one will support you. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi I responded on my talk; I don't know how you like to do these things. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:34, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I believe so As that page states (emphasis added):

"Each word in a film title takes an initial capital, except for articles ("a", "an", "the"), the word "to" as part of an infinitive, prepositions, and coordinating conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., "on", "from", "and", "with", "about"), unless they begin or end a title or subtitle."

Consequently, "but" is not to be capitalized. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:50, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Preposition? But is a conjunction and even if it was a preposition, it is less than five letters long, so it is not to be capitalized per the quote above. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:41, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Nothing but Trouble hatnotes

Hello!

I reiserted the hatnotes in the 3 Nothing but Trouble film articles per consensus over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films#Disambiguation of Nothing But Trouble films. Feel free to voice your opinion over there if you disagree.

Sailor Moon

Per the second "There is no consensus at the moment whether to place hatnotes above or below maintenance templates (like the "cleanup", "unreferenced", and "POV" templates" (which is new, as it used to be that they always came after the maintenance tags). I don't care enough to revert though. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes I saw that too, but common practice (nowadays) is to put the note above everything else. This might be good to clarify at Wikipedia talk:Hatnote though. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 01:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, no, it isn't, as all of the programs that allow for automatic tagging, such as Twinkle and Friendly, put them at the very top above all else. AfD, CSD, and Prods also go above everything else, including hat notes. Other maintenance templates should be treated the same. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, didn't know that. I honestly don't think order matters in the long run, but I agree that there should be consistency. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 01:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I suppose that makes sense. Ok. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 05:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Erasure of Koenma..

At least we have to put the erased details of Koenma and add them in his details (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenma#Koenma). Idk, in behalf of encyclopedic passion bestowed. Well, it's just my opinion. May be it should be or may be it should not. I am not good at this. :) Thank you and your prompt attention to this matter is highly appreciated.

Concerning Vegeta GT

Sorry for the very belated reply, but I'm off to Ireland with virtually no computer access.....anyway the redirect above must stay because it was voted to be a valid redirect. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 21:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Have a safe trip ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Excuse my bad english (that was a literal translaton from German): I'm already in Ireland (and have been since June 2). Thanks a lot; I'll be back at my computer next week. Lectonar (talk) 21:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

A little help on the Dragon Ball article

Hey, um, I might need some help on the Dragon Ball (anime) article. I worked on it to remove the lists as a part of a major renovation project for that article there similar to the DBZ and DBGT articles. Can you also give me some pointers and tips as well for the rest of the cleanup as well? That would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Greg Jones II 02:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, nice to see you around Greg. Unfortunately, I'm haven't done enough major cleaning to give out tips. I'm more of a "tweaker" than anything else. Have you tried asking for assistance at WT:MANGA? They know their material well. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Its nice to see you around, as well, Sesshomaru. I have contacted User:Sephiroth BCR about this. Greg Jones II 02:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Just curious, did you happen to catch this conversation? It's just that I'm discussing the use of "Japanese" on manga/anime pages and I noticed your edits to Honey Clover on my watchlist. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, of course. Greg Jones II 02:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok. Guess it wasn't a coincidence ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:52, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Naruto

Okay I will not add that to any pages from now on, just in case I've added them anywhere else they shouldn't be. It was because almost every page about a character from a show originally from Japan had that category on it, so it seemed odd that just the Naruto characters didn't. Anyway, please know I wasn't trying to mess up anything I was only trying to be helpful because I was told by someone that I wasn't being helpful and that I need to edit more... I'm a huge fan of the Naruto series and would NEVER intentionally add something or do something to mess it up. I'm sorry. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 16:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Other than some Naruto characters (my edits for those are already erased) the only other one did for was Kagome from InuYasha. Other than that if the category is there on any other pages it wasn't me. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 18:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes I understand what you mean. Thanks for explaining that to me! I'll try to be more careful when editing. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 18:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Online Comic

Not sure about a site. There are torrents around, though. There's also a site online that has legal free comics for US users... but not being from the US, I didn't memorise the site. Duggy 1138 (talk) 11:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Iron Man.

I didn't check onthe deletion fo the cat, because that wasn't the reason given for first deletion; that reason was 'character isn't an alcoholic any more' or somethign quite close. Had the summary been, cat deleted, i wouldn't have readded. ThuranX (talk) 18:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, that made a little more sense. Thanks for explaining ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
