Date ordinals[edit]

Hey, welcome. I see you created this account pretty recently.

I noticed a few of your most recent edits include adding -st, -nd, rd, and -th to dates. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers), specifically the section on Incorrect date formats, these are generally not preferred.

But don't let all those rules overwhelm you, of course. Good luck! --Christopherlin 17:42, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Petition[edit]

Hi! I was wondering if you would like to sign this petition. It's a petition for getting the original voice actors for the Sonic games back (instead of the Sonic X ones). --anon

Rick Jones[edit]

Hey when ya make edits make sure to leave a quick summary of what ya changed! (speaking here of Rick Jones --Torourkeus 19:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DITTO! Please? --Torourkeus 05:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Double spacing[edit]

I understand that double spacing between sentences is gramatically correct, but you can't actually see them as double spaces when viewing the article; they appear as a single space. In actuality, you could put ten spaces between two sentences, and it will appear as one space (as I've just done in your talk page). Just trying to save you some time and effort. ~ Hibana 22:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template parameters[edit]

I noticed you've been changing a number of template calls, modifying the parameter names (for example, here). This breaks the modified parameters and causes them not to display. If a template parameter has a space (or an underscore) or has a certain capitalization, please leave it. Changing it can cause the parameter to disappear. Thanks! —Locke Cole • t • c 06:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dates again[edit]

I noticed that you have made some changes to dates in a number of pages. As the earlier comment above mentions, this is not the correct style. You may not realize it, but each user can set their preferred date presentation style—click on my preference at the top of the page, and then select the Date and time tab to set yours. If you leave the dates in the proper format, for example, [[June 5]] [[2006]], WIkipedia will make sure that everybody sees dates in their preferred style. If you mess up the format, for example, [[June 5]]th [[2006]], you break this feature of Wikipedia. Please don't do that. For more on this, see WP:DATES. Thanks. —johndburger 01:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting comments on your talk page is considered VANDALISM, and can get you banned from Wikipedia. That would be a shame, because you appear to have made a lot of useful contributions. Your talk page is not "your page"—talk pages are how people communicate on Wikipedia, and resolve differences. Instead of blanking my comments, consider responding to them. —johndburger 02:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. Please read my first comment above carefully, and also read the WIkipedia manual on dates. Everyone, including you, can set their preference for how they want to see dates, choosing from six or seven styles. If you edit dates the way you have been, you are breaking this feature of Wikipedia—the software will only show dates in users' preferred style if the dates are in the specific format I described above. In my opinion, what you are doing is pointless anyway, because in a short time your edits will be undone by people who understand this feature of Wikipedia. —johndburger 02:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't tell if you do not understand the feature of the Wikipedia software that you are breaking, or you simply don't care. If the latter, that is quite anti-social, and may be interpreted as vandalism. Anyway, goodbye. —johndburger 03:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tables on Power Rangers articles[edit]

I've been doing changes to the various articles on Power Rangers, specifically the colors in the tables. You have been reverting all of the changes that I had done, without saying anything in the edit summaries. Please contact me to tell me why my changes are being reverted. I believe that they are more readable and more aesthetically pleasing/true to the colors. Ryulong 03:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please cease the reversions without describing why you are reverting my changes. Any sort of response will be good. Ryulong 03:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know that they may be truer to the colors of the costumes, but it is easier to read the darker text on a lighter color (as with cyan and the blue rangers) or more aesthetically pleasing (white text on a black background for the Black Rangers). Ryulong 03:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tekkaman Blade[edit]

Hello.
I felt compelled to revert your recent edits to the Tekkaman Blade article.
For one thing, removing references to Blade being called Blade in the english version is incorrect.
I personally own the recent dvd dub that was released a little while ago. In it, they call him Blade, not Slade. (even though it seems to otherwise be the same butchered english version)
If the most recent English language version calls him Blade, then that must be considered one of his names in English. If you'd checked the discussion page prior to making that change, then you would have already known this.
Furthermore, changing 'armour' to 'armor' is unnecessary and lacks respect for non-American contributers. Changing armour to armor is equivalent to saying that Canadians and the British spell it wrong. Bladestorm 18:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edits at Tommy Oliver[edit]

The Power Rangers in Dino Thunder were not named after their Dinosaur or Dinozord. They were [Insert Color] Dino Ranger. Not Black Brachio Ranger or White Drago Ranger. Ryūlóng 00:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External resources (see Ranger Central's page on Dino Thunder) list the Rangers by color and not their Dinosaur avatar. Ryūlóng 01:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And on Wikipedia, the Ninja Storm Power Rangers are called the Red Wind, Yellow Wind, Blue Wind, Crimson Thunder, Navy Thunder, and Green Samurai Rangers. The Dino Thunder Rangers are named by color only on IMDB too. Ryūlóng 01:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia also uses the [Color] Dino Ranger formatting, as well. See Power Rangers: Dino Thunder and Dino Thunder Power Rangers. Ryūlóng 01:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize. I have found other sources that list the Rangers as the Dinosaur's name (although they are mostly fan sites). Ryūlóng 01:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am now amending the information in the other articles. Ryūlóng 01:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dino Thunder[edit]

Last night someone else came on and undid the various edits to change it back to "Dino Ranger", which he claimed was the correct terminology. Again, I can really not find any sources that state which is correct. Rangercentral uses the Dino format, and if you check Dino Thunder's talk page, the other user posted his message. Ryūlóng 20:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Read Talk:Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. Ryūlóng 03:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Batman is tense[edit]

When editing an article decribing fictional events, please remember that those events should be written about in the present tense. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance#Present tense for details. --Chris Griswold 21:15, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chun-Li[edit]

Please do not remove maintenance notices from pages unless the required changes have been made. If you are uncertain whether the page requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. Thank you. Danny Lilithborne 02:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of (Teen) Titan Memebers[edit]

Just noticed the edits you added to the list here.

Based on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance two of the overall change go counter to the Projects intents, specifically:

The Roman numerals after the costumed identities of characters. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance#Succession boxes and Roman numerals

The format for referencing an issue of a series where the title of the series has been applied to multiple series. See: Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance#Titles with numerous volumes

I've changed these items to mirror these conventions. — J Greb 23:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concurring with J Greb re: Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance#Succession boxes and Roman numerals and Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Style guidance#Titles with numerous volumes. Your rvs are under active discussion on the Comics Project Talk Page, so you might want to join the discussion. -- Tenebrae 22:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Volume numbers[edit]

Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject_Comics/editorial_guidelines#Titles_with_numerous_volumes for why this edit[1] has errors. You've been asked to not make change volume number to second or third series. In the future, I may just dispense with a polite note and simply revert you. CovenantD 04:58, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dates[edit]

I had reverted your changes to Power Rangers: Time Force (well most of them) because they did not conform to the above, the Manual of Style that concerns dates and numbers. One should never use formatting like December 23rd when formatting dates, but anything listed on the previously listed page.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Clean-up"[edit]

I would think that the minor changes done here do not constitute cleaning it up, which is why I have replaced the tag.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:18, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comics Project guidelines[edit]

Just a reminder, the project guidelines for formatting issure refrrences can be found here and for character names can be found here. Please use these as well as the overall Wiki guidelinds for dates found here.

Please use them.

Thanks... — J Greb 22:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revisit of MoS issues[edit]

Since you have been made aware of the Wikipedia MoS for Dates, as well as the the additional MoS that WPComics is using for citing titles, please use them. Continuing to insist on using non-MoS formatting could be, and probably will be, viewed as vandalism. - J Greb (talk) 00:31, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you have been pointed to the guidelines multiple time. You edits on Major Force point to an unwillingness on your part to work with established consensus. Please, if you won't edit to those guidelines, and will continue to insists on undoing work to those guides, please do not edit those specific items. Thant you. - J Greb (talk) 03:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Timeline of fictional future events[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Timeline of fictional future events. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of fictional future events. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:17, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
