Test[edit]

Just testing out my user talk page.

Re: Mass external linking on Godzilla and Toho-related articles.[edit]

Hello. I'm glad that you reached a consensus on SpaceGodzilla to include wikizilla.org in the "External Links" section on that page. However, you've probably noticed that I've reverted the dozens of other edits you made to dozens of similar pages. The reason for this is that simply because you reach consensus to bypass Wikipedia policy (in this case WP:ELNO) on one page doesn't mean you suddenly can apply the same change to any other article you want. You need to go through each individual article. Agreeing to bypass WP:ELNO on one page does not make the policy obsolete on all pages. If you think this is a major issue that could attract discussion from editors not associated with these sorts of articles, starting a discussion at the External Links noticeboard might be helpful, but my personal guess is that this wouldn't gain much traction at a noticeboard. If you really feel strongly, you should start a brand new discussion on the talk page of any article that you think should ignore the WP:ELNO policy. Cheers.

Fair enough. EncyclopediaGojira 08:14, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May I just ask why this is the case? I'm not trying to start an argument or anything but there are Bulbapedia links on all of the Pokemon pages and I don't see any discussions on the talk pages for those articles. I'd just like some insight into that. EncyclopediaGojira 08:14, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Mass external linking on Godzilla and Toho-related articles.[edit]

Here's my input: "Wikizilla" is a poor-quality site full of whatever fuzzy notions Godzilla fans have in their heads, and shouldn't be linked anywhere. Stop doing it. ComicsAreJustAllRight (talk) 02:22, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my response. You clearly know nothing about Wikizilla and have likely only looked at the inferior Wikizilla over on Wikia / Fandom. Do some research next time because Wikizilla is not a poor-quality website and actually puts effort into its articles, providing sources to back them up. Sure, these may not be as detailed as articles on Bulbapedia but that is down to the fact that Bulbapedia has more members of staff and focuses on a series that a lot of people are familiar with and will contribute to.

Edit-warring and linkspam[edit]

When User:Friginator reverted your huge number of mass edits, generously calling them good-faith, protocol (as he noted) is to then go to the articles' talk pages and discuss the issue. Instead you close to slow-motion edit-war by sneaking in a revert a month later. Moreover, you are linkspamming Wikipedia, which is a form of disruption.

Making such an enormous amount of global changes is not something that seven or so editors in an informal discussion at Talk:SpaceGodzilla can make. We certainly don't "vote". If you want to make a major, site-wide change, then you do a formal Request for Comment at, in this case, Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard, with notice about the RfC prominently posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tokusatsu at the very least.

We're all expected to be responsible editors and do things by the book. Do this properly, please. And now that you have been reverted twice on an incredible number of pages, you're expected not to continue edit-warring. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:24, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few questions about this whole thing. I have to go to this External Links noticeboard to make my request, and then I have to take that discussion and link it at the Project Film place and the Project Tokusatsu place? That's how I'm understanding it but I'm not entirely sure if I'm correct. Could you please elaborate on this. Also I could do without the accusations that I'm setting up an edit-war please. I don't want things to get out of hand just because I'm not completely familiar with Wikipedia's rules. EncyclopediaGojira (talk) 04:44, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
