FLC nominations and reviews

Hi, Tintor2. You may not be aware, but the new Featured list criteria was implemented Sunday 5 April, 00:56 (UTC) following two weeks of discussion at Wikipedia talk:Featured list criteria#New criterion discussion.

I've gone through the nominations and have noticed you have !voted Support, Oppose or Neutral at the following nominations:

1. Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of One Piece episodes (season 5)/archive2 (List of One Piece episodes (season 5))

Please could you take the time to revisit the articles and candidate pages, and check them against the new Featured list criteria, and confirm/revise your !vote; any !vote made against the old criteria that is not confirmed against the new criteria will be ignored when the nomination is closed.

Finally, please accept my apologies for the brusqueness of this message; the same wording is being sent to everyone who has outstanding reviews, with only the names of lists being changed. Regards, Matthewedwards :  Chat  05:15, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Yuri

Start with the first appearance and go from there. That should work out great.

By the way, have you had any luck finding sources to possibly revive K9999 or Angel's articles? That poll comes to mind as a possibility there is something out there as reception for the characters, and SNK's own note that K9999's popular in Korea.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:54, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: The Sequel

Since none of the spirits are that noteworthy (except maybe Tsubaki), you could just cut the section altogether. As an example for how to generalize: "Orihime's hair clips are six fairy-like creatures that allow her to perform special abilities. Three do X... Two others do Y... The final, Tsubaki, is her only attack-based fairy... Tsubaki is destroyed at blah blah, leaving her unable to participate in battles for part of the series until he is later restored." Also, if you're interested in an image with all of the spirits, I cropped this from the Bleach artbook. ~SnapperTo 03:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I ref'd the 29. I'm not sure about the 30 since I don't see anything about a birthday in volume 15. I know in volume 11 that Arakawa says he would be 30 if she paid attention to the passage of time. But again, I don't see anything in volume 15. ~SnapperTo 02:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Arakawa uses "Ishval", Viz and Funimation use "Ishbal". I prefer the latter, but either way it's going to be something that's switched by IPs. ~SnapperTo 04:11, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

List of Fullmetal Alchemist Characters - Shou Tucker

Hi, I've noticed you frequent the List of Fullmetal Alchemist characters page (and other similar FMA lists/articles), and was wondering if I could request your help with something. Dragonmaster88 is attempting to start an edit war over a repeated grammatical edit under the Shou Tucker section.[1 2 The statement he is trying to change is not grammatically incorrect, and read as follows:

Tucker is voiced by Makoto Nagai and Chuck Huber in the Japanese and English versions, respectively.

Initially, the sentence read (as do most other paragraphs on the list):

Tucker is voiced by Makoto Nagai in the Japanese version and Chuck Huber in the English version.

My intention is better clarify the language combining the subjects in one half of the sentence instead of splitting the subjects across both halves. It reads and flows better. It's a purely aesthetic choice, language wise, but grammatically my proposed edit does read better and is more academically sound than the former choice. However, Dragonmaster88 doesn't seem to be currently communicating on the issue, his talk page reveals a history of similar 3RR occurrences (and bans), and I've just left a 3RR warning on his page. I was hoping a third opinion on the subject would prematurely stop an edit war.

• That's no problem, sorry for putting you on the spot like that then! I went ahead and made a new discussion topic on the Talk Page, so if you wouldn't mind checking it out and posting your opinion on the matter, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks again,

RE:Terry Bogard

Sorry for the late copy edit, but I finally did a sweep of the article. I think it would be a toss up at GAN because of the limited development info. Also, I would suggest switching out some sources. Like the IMDB ones, maybe see if you can get the info from AnimeNewsNetwork or MobyGames. I'm not sure if VGMdb, Vc-reviews, and GamingExcellence satisfy WP:RS either. The last bit of advice I have is to go through the "In video games" section to see which details you really need. Some could be trimmed, but I'm not familiar with the series. Just ask yourself if the info pertains to Terry Bogard or the video game he appeared in. Other than that the articles is much improved from before you started working on it. Keep up the good work. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC))

Generally, MobyGames should be avoided. But books have cited the website for production credits, so such content can be cited in articles. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 01:34, 1 May 2009 (UTC))

RE: Gantz conception

Unfortunately, I don't think there are many interviews with Oku. However, there seems to be one on an English boxset(s), but I don't own them. Even then, I don't know what he talks about. I'll also help in the search, and I've been thinking about buying the anime anyway. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 19:42, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Have you thought about asking someone here to translate? I know User:Nihonjoe has done translating, and you can probably make a request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan or the Anime/Manga wikiproject. I'm sure someone would be willing to help out. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Wow, that is a lot to translate...But it must contain lots of concept/creation on the series and characters. It doesn't seem like any scanlating group did anything either...Maybe someone could email Dark Horse, just to see if they have plans for an English release? I doubt it, but apparently Gantz is selling very well. Other than that, I don't think there is much available. I've heard that it was translated into French, too, but I don't speak that, either. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 21:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Credibility...

I addressed your issue on the KoF XII page but I'd like to say that I wasn't actually citing cyberfanatix as the source, only using their copy of the image to post as a link. The article was a genuine Famitsu scan, I don't see how that can be refuted. I made the change as you requested but I feel like maybe that was stretching the necessity of credibility into an extreme. It's just my opinion. SuperSonicTH (talk) 13:22, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Few Questions

I also thought that at first (I proposed a move a while back, but apparently, I was the only participating editor at the time). While I was waiting for a reply, however, I ended up reading WP:COMMONAME and realized "Tsuna Sawada" is most likely the best name for the article, since that is what he is most commonly referred to as (and not just in the Japanese versions, but in VIZ's English version as well). So, as long as the article starts out as Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada, the article name basically complies with Wikipedia's standards. As for the infobox image, I'll try to find one that shows more of his characteristics. →DarkAngel⁰⁰⁷ 06:42, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Shaman King

Just here to touch base with you on the section about the original ending. The original ending section commented on the way manga was ended with a cliffhanger in it's original run, never resolving the plot. Now they've gone back and given it a proper ending with the re-release but for 5 years that was the end of the story. That said, what would the author need to confirm? Hewinsj (talk) 14:23, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

While I do think that the plot section of Shaman King could use a rewrite, I don't think I see the connection. The Rurouni Kenshin plot section just covers the overall plot of the series. It doesn't mention that the series was ended and went for years without a conclusion. It just includes a summary of the overall plot of the series with a paragraph that tells what happens at the end. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Hewinsj (talk) 20:23, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

That wouldn't be a bad move, the section could stand a rewrite. I can take a look at it later to see if I can come up with something a little more along those lines when I have some time. That said, would it be possible to add a sentence or two mentioning that the last volume published did not end the series where we mention that there were problems publishing volume 32? This could act as a lead-in to the paragraph about the next recent re-release. Hewinsj (talk) 13:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for taking the time to discuss this. Hewinsj (talk) 19:50, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Bleach episode lists

Hello, I've been rather busy lately so I haven't had a chance to get to List of Bleach episodes (season 10) (needs to get to FL) and List of Bleach episodes (season 11) (needs to be peer reviewed) for the Seasons of Bleach FT. If possible, could you spruce each up a bit (non-news ANN sources need to be replaced, cutting down the plot would be nice, update them for DVDs or whatnot if necessary) and I can do a copy-edit afterwards? I should have more time in a week or so to get to them, but that's when the deadline is, so any help would be greatly appreciated. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 22:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Reborn! images

Well, I couldn't find a decent image of Hibari using his spiked ball, but I did change his future image into one with him using his flaming tonfas (I think that can be used in his abilities section too). ⇒DarkAngel⁰⁰⁷ 06:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I did think about it, but then the characters' list will be near 100kb after the merge (and that's not even including the missing references for most of the Varia and Millefiore, which would make it over 100kb). Well, by definition, the Varia members can still be considered antagonists since, though they're more compliant, they still oppose Tsuna and the others in some form. In regards to the others like Irie and Spanner: though they joined Tsuna, they're first major roles were as antagonists - besides, they wouldn't fit as well if they were just added to the "Others" section. If you want, Verde and Skull can probably just be merged into the Arcobaleno intro like the other minor members. And, the VS poll is the upcoming poll where they want readers to vote between a given pair of characters (eg. Hibari VS Dino, Adult Tsuna VS Adult Reborn). ⇒DarkAngel⁰⁰⁷ 05:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

lol I completely forgot he had his own article (I should probably put it on my watchlist). Anyways, I added a picture containing both Lambos to Lambo (Reborn!). ⇒DarkAngel⁰⁰⁷ 05:01, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Shaman King Cover Image & Others

Hey. I thought I'd at least bring this to your attention before changing it, but I think that we need to integrate much more of the KangZengBang aspect of the series into the article, beginning with the cover image used on the main page. I would like to replace it with a cover image of KZB volume 1, which I have readily available. I think that making these changes will make the article much more informative, and we would be doing a disservice if we didn't add more information concerning KZB and the extras included in the re-release of the anime in boxed-set form. With the release of Mentalite, which I also have debound and ready to scan, the Side Stories section will need to be updated as well. I hope we can work together to make this article the best it can be. Thanks. Jezebel Parks (talk) 04:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Shueisha

I'm not too sure about the specific dates, I just added the ones that appeared under the heading. The Gin Tama date is really throwing me off though: it's the second 2004 issue, but dated to December 2003. ~Itzjustdrama ^{? C} 17:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Himura Kenshin

I think this edit was actually right. Correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't the reference say that Watsuki was glad with the OVA's ending? Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Nope. Watsuki didn't like the OVA's ending since he always said that he wanted to give Rurouni Kenshin a happy ending, but the OVA ends with Kenshin's death.Tintor2 (talk) 00:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Marking major edits as minor

Sorry to be a pain, but I noticed you have a habit of marking major edits as minor. While minor edits are fine for typos, corrections and such, the addition of multiple references, and new statements is almost never a minor edit. While I have no need to check all your edits, it's quite confusing seeing the noticeable addition of content being marked as minor (often over 1000 bytes). Any chance you can be a bit more careful with your "minor" edits? Thanks. Dandy Sephy (talk) 15:53, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

GAR?

I'm afraid I don't understand this removal. Even if it still was a GA, what reason is there to delete the hatnoting? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 15:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

In the GAR it said "The second disambig at the top seems unnecessary since all the links at Death Note (disambiguation) are to the same series except suicide note, which is already linked"Tintor2 (talk) 15:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you please point me to the GAR in question? If it's just one guy's opinion then, at the very least, there's no reason not to mention the existence of Death Note (disambiguation). It really makes no sense Tintor. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. The one who made the GAR was Collectian who is very experienced as you know.Tintor2 (talk) 00:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Everything in Death Note (disambiguation) is just stuff for Death Note, which makes the disambiguation page pointless and it should be deleted. The only non series page is Suicide note, which could be handled with just the one redirect note. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Do a regular xfD or whatever is used for disambigs? Or chat with the admin about it and explain it is all one topic except the suicide note and the link is already there. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

{{db-disambig}} is supposed to be used for them. Since that didn't work, I started something here. Guess it's better to get more than one opinion in this minute conflict. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

ANN encyclopedia isn't a reliable source (although the main site is). Dandy Sephy (talk) 21:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Do you know which is the journal and issue from such image. The point is that season 11 is going througout a peer review in which it was asked about how the seasons are splitted. Does season 11 have a name according to the image? The problem with the Anime News Network reference is that such page belongs to the encyclopedia section which is user edited and makes it unreliable. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 21:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I see. The magazine is Shonen Jump. No, season 11 does not have a name as of yet and will be confirmed when the DVDs are released.--SuperSilver901 21:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

DBZ character talk page

Hey mate. I'm asking if you'd be interested to check out the section I opened on the DBZ character talk page in regards to merging. It deals with moving many of the characters listed in the secondary section to the other (tertiary) section, as many more influential and important characters have now been merged or deleted. It would only be proper to sustain and maintain the same consensus on the entire page; I haven't made any changes as of yet as it may not be considered constructive to move characters without a proper debate. Those that are debatable, I've listed them in the same format and hope to get your vote for keeps and merges into the other section. I've only listed the ones I've found to be primarily lesser appearing characters and who are limited to one or two sagas at the most in their appearance, or remain background characters for the most part. As many of the characters who are listed in the secondary section are actually much lesser than those in the other, I was hoping to hear from you and get your votes on the matter. - Zarbon (talk) 23:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Sony Samurai X

I know it aired in the Philippines countless times, and I see a Cartoon Network stamp on the Samurai X Sony episodes I see on YouTube (Cartoon Network is in the Philippines). I don't have an exact airdate for them. I don't see "Samurai X" on the current Cartoon Network Philippines lineup. Lemme see if Cartoon Network UK has anything... WhisperToMe (talk) 16:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

• EDIT: I found "Samurai X" in the English-language Cartoon Network Latin America lineup: http://www.cartoonnetworkla.com/english/watch/tv_shows/samuraix/index.html - The odd thing is that the page uses the name "Kaoru" even though she is "Kori" in the Sony dub. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
• EDIT 2: I also found that it airs on Animax Asia: http://www.animax-asia.com/shows/samurai-x - But the odd thing is that this page also uses "Kaoru" even though when one watches a copy of the dub on YouTube the characters say "Kori" WhisperToMe (talk) 16:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
  • This "Latin America" link is English, and there is a version of Cartoon Network (Latin America) that airs in English. The dub I am referring to is in English; but the only actual name changes (as from what I saw on YouTube) were Kaoru to Kori and Yahiko to Yoshi. All of the other names seem to be the same, even though they are mispronounced. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
  • It seems like the Samurai X link from Cartoon Network LA is outdated; there is a new website for Cartoon Network LA in English, and the shows list does not list Samurai X (nor Rurouni Kenshin) - However it did air on the channel at one point... - Anyway I posted a message at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines - hopefully someone can help find the answer... WhisperToMe (talk) 20:51, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
    • I found a ref proving that "Samurai X" aired on Studio 23 in the Philippines (a show listing on web.archive.org that reveals "Samurai-X") - Is this sufficient information for me to add back "Yoshi" to Yahiko, or do I need to find something else? WhisperToMe (talk) 15:26, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Unfortunately I haven't found a character profile information on the particular site mentioning the names of the characters. Apparently Samurai X aired on other channels in the Philippines, so I could check archives of those sites... WhisperToMe (talk) 15:45, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Here's another twist. I checked the archives of Sci Fi channel in Australia, and it shows Samurai X, complete with airdates for the episodes (and I know it's the Sony version because of the user "Battousai the Slasher," which was used in the Sony dub) - BUT the episode summaries say "Kaoru" and "Yahiko" even though the Sony dub eps I saw on YouTube clearly use "Kori" and "Yoshi"! - See http://web.archive.org/web/20070808235800/www.scifitv.com.au/tvguide/?show=36 WhisperToMe (talk) 15:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Fullmetal Alchemists setting

I put my work on hold about a week ago as I noticed the ugly truth. Tell me why you're so hostile to this idea, actually? The articles you deleted do not violate WP:FICT and WP:PLOT even though they were poor quality work. Basically we had a huge set of interesting articles related to Fullmetal Alchemist that could've been improved by people like me. Don't you like the series? If you don't, then simply stay away from it and everything will be alright. I don't like many things in my life... so I don't even talk about them. In my opinion, your behaviour is highly disruptive. You deny people knowledge. It's not the first time I see this, though. Most people here seem hostile and either ignore or insult those like me. Very soon, however, I'll be an expert no less than you are. OutOfTimer ^{Wanna chat?} 04:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Your activity here consists primarily of vandalising work by other people. If there is a piece of unsourced information - source it. If you can't source it - add template so somebody else can source it. The only thing you do as for now is destroying everything in sight. I've spent hours upon hours on studying Wikipedia guidlines and policies and your attitude becomes increasingly annoying as you try to vandalise that effort. OutOfTimer ^{Wanna chat?} 14:51, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Of course you can't simply delete an article as you don't have Admin rights. You can blank it, though. Try these two. It is my opinion that both Manga and Anime have the same level of importance. The fact that you pretend one of them is superior to the other is your own problem. I'm asking you for the last time not to interfere with my work. Each person here tries to contribute the way they can and add something. Problems start if somebody tracks those edits and reverts them due to their personal preferences. OutOfTimer ^{Wanna chat?} 02:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I read your summary page already. They don't violate any of these - it's only your vivid imagination. Moreover, you don't own the articles, too, and it is your blanking that is truely unconstructive. We have a term for this here. It's called WP:GAME. If you don't believe Manga is more important, then stop spamming references should be preferably from Manga. You do revert edits according to your personal preferences and I don't like when old users don't want to mind their own business. OutOfTimer ^{Wanna chat?} 02:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

It seems clear to me that YOU are the only one trying to edit from your personal preferences and attempting to own articles while trying to bully Tintor2, a far more experienced editor who is well versed in how to craft good quality anime/manga articles, by talking down to him as if he doesn't know better. Wikipedia does, in fact, have guidelines and policies, and you not just edit however you want or add whatever content you desire just because you like it. "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly...do not submit it." You are acting very inappropriately, and your posts here cross the civility line, particularly your false labeling of Tintor's actions as vandalism. Whether YOU believe the anime and manga are equally important is not relevant. Here, the primary work takes precedence in articles, which for FMA is the manga. The anime adaptations are secondary works and treated as such. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:35, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Mortal Kombat: Deception mini-review

Tossing this your way before I tackle the GAN. The prose in several parts of the article bugs me somewhat...not that it's badly written though. It's basically, well...pausing too much, making the article difficult to read at some points.

Take the below for example: "The Midway Staff focused on the designs and functions of the backgrounds. They wanted to make the backgrounds be as influential to the outcome of the battle as the fighting between characters."

Seems to flow a lot better as: "The Midway Staff focused on the designs and functions of the backgrounds, wanting to make them be as influential to the outcome of the battle as the fighting between characters."

Read aloud it comes across smoother. Not trying to bust your butt about this here, I know you know your stuff and the article is extremely well sourced. But this is the one hangup I have with the article in its current form.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 11:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Truth be told it seems to extent to everything but the lead and reception section. There are many points in the article where it feels like two smaller sentences should be combined together into a longer one, and quite consistently to boot. :\--Kung Fu Man (talk) 13:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

By the way there's some stuff at Cyberfanatix about considered designs for KOFXII Iori and Kyo that might be useful for your articles (namely Iori). A rought scan can be found here. Cyberfanatix is down, but when its back up I'll get a guy to translate what that page says and isolate what to use for the citation info. Hope this helps.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay the forum's back up, seems the pages come from the guidebook (which will probably be Japan-exclusive from the looks of it). I'll hit them up tomorrow and see I can get the ISBN info and whatnot. Till then, he's the thread.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 04:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the ref! Just let me clarify: Animedia: 19th, Newtype: 20th? I'm pretty much done otherwise and I'm hoping to move it to mainspace. Just two refs missing for the 2nd and 3rd character polls (Can't find the right vol and pg). ~Itzjustdrama ^{? C} 22:39, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Gantz

Ehh, for some reason, I thought you were one of those 'let's DELETE BECAUSE IT'S UNSOURCED, AHURRAHUUR' types, despite the fact that it's plain common sense. Whether Oku has confirmed it or not, it's blatantly obvious, or atleast a pretty major coincidence that;

In the 7th Gantz DVD, Chiaki did a commentary saying she'd like to play a character if a movie was made. A little while later, which character shows up? Kill Bill. Who was in Kill Bill? Chiaki Kuriyama. The character is -visually- based off of Chiaki; the nose, the lips, the hair; any simple analysis of the character and the actress will prove conclusively that the character was based off of Chiaki. It's just common sense. I have a few links, but I'm no good at sourcing, so, if it's so important for it being sourced, you can do a simple google search for information on her interview, the DVD which confirms her interview, or even slap together a comparison chart of Chiaki and Chiaki (By the way, I don't ever recall her explicitly being called Chiaki in the manga, although I may be wrong. And if she is, well, that makes it EVEN MORE OBVIOUS.) for good evidence and proof. You speak spanish, right? You can find the interview (in espanol~) with Chiaki on youtube, so if you wanna source that for the "I'd like to play a Gantz character, teehee" comment you can. But really, I doubt anyone's going to care whether that statement is sourced or not, considering the OBVIOUSNESS OF IT. It's like saying "if you get shot, it'll hurt!" doesn't have to be sourced for a person to know that getting shot = pain. Just like a person doesn't have to have it sourced that the character is based (Visually, at least) off of Chiaki Kuriyama; she's even called Kill Bill, (which Chiaki was in) mind you, so... That goes without saying that obvious reference is obvious. It's just... Obvious! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiu-chan (talk • contribs) 00:31, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Mmmkay. You know, and I know, that the character in Gantz looks like Chiaki Kuriyama, and that the author awknowledges it as well via his naming of her 'Kill Bill'. How can we word this so that it stands up as a fact? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiu-chan (talk • contribs) 01:44, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Youtube Video sources

I saw your conversation with another user here and I'd like to ask you if you could explain to me (or point me to an article that does) what is wrong with using youtube videos as sources, besides copyright infringement of course. I don't believe Midway/WB is big on copyright, as there are many videos of Mortal Kombat are on youtube. I thank you in advance for your response. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 01:30, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for pestering you but I still have a bit of confusion. On Reptile's Page, Ref. 17 is written out like: 'Midway. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. (Midway). Level/area: Reptile ending. (2002-11-20)' that. On Ref. 7 on the Mortal Kombat (series) page was the exact same thing (it was written by me mind you and im a novice) but instead I linked to the youtube video. Should I have written it the exact same way as it was written in the Reptile page without the URL? Could the URL have been included in the Reptile's Ref. 17? If not, why? I thank you for your patience with me and again thank you in advance for your response. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 02:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

So the reference in the Reptile page is the correct way to post the reference? With absolutely no URL? Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 02:32, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Cool, cool, but what about in-game gameplay? Like my Toasty 1000 Vid? Is that acceptable? Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 21:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, it might be trivial but at least it isn't a list. (Like the one that was on that page earlier this year). Well, I can't do a darn thing about that copyright, but maybe I can find some article from gamespot or IGN that mentions it. In the mean time, I'll keep the sources there until I have more time to edit them to the appropriate manner. If you don't mind, I'm going to make a new section on your page for a different subject. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 15:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Fullmetal Alchemist

Yep, used to watch the anime but ended up sticking the manga ultimately: it feels a lot better paced, even though it only comes out once a month. I read Naruto and One Piece some too when they come out on Onemanga as well.

As for the section you found, I was going to start an article on Armstrong awhile back since he's a favorite of mine and has some tiny info from what I've read, but put it aside after an hour of searching digging up only that one reference. I'll probably tackle it again down the line, focusing on video game articles atm still (thus the huge Bayonetta character dev section...damn she had a lot). Got plans to carpet bomb GAN towards year's end with my work.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:29, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Height and character articles

For the record I actually list these in articles if I can cite them under the design section (and three-sizes for the ladies), it makes it easier to compare one character with another. Just tossing that in given I saw the conversation over Rugal.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

The problem is the anon user adding it was comparing his height with other characters which original research. The height and weight would be more suitable in a character design subsection, but there is no such section.Tintor2 (talk) 16:15, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Controversy Section in Mortal Kombat (series)

BTW, i've been meaning to ask you, why don't we make a controversy section under reception? I have a link of a few newspaper articles saying along the lines that Mortal Kombat(during its golden age) was a potential advocate of shootings[3] and "desenitizing children." Even going as far as saying MKT was one of teh potential reasons behind Columbine [4] . Counter reactions to what people protested about MK, Games aren't what they used to be, and more.

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Critics+zap+video+games%3a+senators+urge+government+action+to+curb...-a016809718

Of course, the articles themselves seem little questionable, because it isn't as popular as "Business wire" but I can assure you that you can google these articles and will be able to find them elsewhere. I'm asking you specifically because of your view on editing pages is very opposite of ine, so I would ask you to be a sort of devil's advocate for me. So that I would be able to add more to what made MK famous rather than just one line that seems like original research. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 15:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

The positive part will be a little difficult since people have more bad things to say to MK rather than nice, but I'll find it. I have a few more minutes in this class so I might be able to dig up a little more.

BTW, I found one link to a site that mentions a court case vs. Midway

A third case involving death and a video game also proved unsuccessful for the plaintiff. In Wilson v. Midway Games, Inc., a mother in Connecticut sued the maker of Mortal Kombat after another youth stabbed her son to death. Her claim of product liability for negligent design failed, according to the court, because the video game was not a “product.” [5]

It looks like it has a few references so I'll use them to help support what the link says. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 15:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Ehhh, I don't know. Wouldn't the Reception of gameplay go to the appropriate articles? But I see your point. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 21:05, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

So... should we copy and paste the key sentences of the reception sections of the 8+ MK games and put it in one section of the MK (series) page as well as the controversy section you and I are proposing? I'm sorry for being difficult, I just need clarity on these things, because the guidelines and policies of WP don't exactly spell it out like another member can. SincerelySubzerosmokerain (talk) 00:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Personally only the first paragraph of the Critical response section references the series as a whole(and the first sentence of the reception section). But I finally see your point, I'll be on the lookout for some broad-spanning articles about Mortal Kombat. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 00:28, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Vincent Valentine

Nicely done! I'd given up on the article awhile back, good to see I was proven wrong about it.

I'm working on a slew of articles atm...right now trying to give the SF characters more reception so they can avoid being merged (Sakura's the odd one out, because unlike everyone else there's no development information of any sort). Other than that trying to finish up Ivy for GA status.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 04:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Rurouni Kenshin

• 1. The reason why I uploaded all of those images is because the process of the design of the said characters is discussed in the sections, and the images are there to aid the readers' understanding of the design processes. If Watsuki had never discussed how he designed the characters, those images would have no justification for being there. If a character's design/visual conception is discussed in a character section article (and Watsuki discussed a lot of his characters), then it is fine to add an image of that character in a list of characters article. If there is no discussion about the visual conception, then the character would not receive a photograph.
• 2. Why do you feel the "minor characters" section is not necessary?

WhisperToMe (talk) 17:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

As for the bird head thing in Sanosuke, I'm adding it back. It's NOT only Cho. It's also Jin-e and a host of others. In fact it made the glossary for that reason (notice the ref is of one of the glossaries at the end of each volume) - Whenever something makes the glossary, it is something that recurrs at least in that volume. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:09, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sagara_Sanosuke&diff=308312515&oldid=308312101 Here's why it is important: 1. It is important to state the first year of Manen, because in the Meiji era people referred to years by the era name (i.e. first year of Meiji, first year of man'en) instead of a year (1877, etc) 2. If one is going to have an entire article about a fictional character, then one needs to mention where he/she is born. 3. An article about Sagara Sanosuke needs to have all of the Higashidanis mentioned somewhere, especially since he interacts with them in Volume 26.

• EDIT: Hopefully I rewrote the info so it's not as cumbersome, though. I still haven't thought of exactly how to mention Uki...

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sagara_Sanosuke&diff=next&oldid=308312564 You said that one reference is enough here. Does the other ref say that Sanosuke did this at age 9?

• EDIT: I don't remember it saying that he left at age 9 in the Higashidani chapter, but it certainly is stated so in the first Tsukioka Tsunan chapter, hence both references are needed.
• WhisperToMe (talk) 18:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

In many cases fair use justifications are made or strengthened when an article discusses critically the aspect of a design of something. For instance in a recent discussion in Wikipedia:Nonfree many editors agreed that historical logos can be used only if the logos are discussed in the article from sourced material, i.e. a company explains why it made this logo, etc. It's a similar principle with fictional characters; I looked at the Naruto and Mew Mew lists and I do not see discussions of the creation and conception of the visual design of specific characters. Because of that the lists would not have images of these characters by themselves. In RuroKen's case, Watsuki discusses how and why he designed many of his characters, so there are fair use justifications for many of the characters for that series. If you see List of Death Note characters, a similar principle happens; Ohba and Obata discuss how certain characters were designed, and those characters (but nobody else) get individual photos. Wikipedia:Nonfree#Non-free_image_use_in_list_articles says "Images which are discussed in detail in the context of the article body, such as a discussion of the art style, or a contentious element of the work, are preferable to those that simply provide visual identification of the elements."

• As for minor characters: Well, we could make a discussion about which minor characters to list. As for the one shots, they are self-contained so I think somewhere the characters need to be listed like in the final RuroKen series; however only Chizuru, Muneiwa, Nishiwaki, and the Kamiya family are named, so only they are listed anyway.
• As for Himura Kenshin, well, I don't know how he got the family name "Himura." I'd have to re-read the part where Hiko renames Kenshin from Shinta... WhisperToMe (talk) 00:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Well, RuroKen is unusual since a lot of the characters have their visual designs discussed in detail, so the question is how to represent that using the fewest images possible. There are some consolidations I have in mind: I could represent the Tokyo Oniwabanshu (Beshimi, Hyottoko, Han'nya, and Shikijo) in one picture (One exists omewhere); that would be four in one. Both Hiruma brothers are already in one shot. I am trying to have the Arai family and the Higashidani family with one picture each (they are discussed critically as units, anyway). As for the Juppongatana and the Six Comrades, I'm not sure if there are photos in existence that represent the traits discussed. Sometimes I had to choose a photo where the traits would be visible, i.e. with Kariwa Henya his model was a bat, as in the animal, so I needed a more faraway shot of the character so that could be seen. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure if people have tried justifying adding images of other characters to assist comparisons in that fashion before. With Kamatari's I just added a wikilink which one could click and he or she could see what Yui Ikari looks like, anyway. As for the group pic, I think it would be a great way to represent Shishio's faction (including Yumi and Hoji), so I'll work on getting that image ready and I'll replace all of the existing Shishio faction images with this one. Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 01:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll see if I can find a better quality of a group photo of the main characters. In the meantime I consolidated all of Shishio's faction on to that one image, except for Senkaku; because he isn't in the group pic he still has his own image. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I found a bunch of kanzenban covers and decided to do this:

• 1. Standardize the main characters to their kanzenban covers. I delinked some old FU images, expecting the bots to delete them automatically.
• 2. I used new images from the kanzenbans for four of the Six Comrades
• 3. I found a Tokyo Oniwabanshu group shot (Beshimi, Hyottoko, Shikijo, Han'nya) - I delinked the old Shikijo pic, expecting that a bot will automatically delete it
• 4. I replaced Tsubame's pic with her kanzenban cover. I am awaiting the bots to automatically delete her old image
• 5. I found a "group shot" of six of the main characters (sans Megumi) to use in the characters article

Push Rugal for GA?

Looking over the article and the source, it seems like it's viable to make a push for GA with a little more work on it (Zentendo is the one source that bugs me). What do you think?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the one thing that bugs me too, though I guess we could conceivably argue that there just isn't anymore available due to the character's boss status (iffy, but common sense does make it rather clear bosses get ignored a lot by reviewers unless they're uber-prominent like Bison).--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Article Abstracts

I don't have a clue about what to do with them and every good article I find, it is an abstract, can we cite them or is it against copyright? Then I find Google News archives which appear like this: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=8kkSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=XPMDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5661,2753732&dq=mortal+kombat Yeah, that's pretty unorganized. Any tips for me? Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 21:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I had no luck in finding the actual article on Google Archive. Speaking of which... I think we can help turn Kerri Hoskin's stub of an article into a real article. As you probably saw on my page, I have billions of MK related articles. Well, as fortune would have it I stumbled across this gem: [[6]] It may mention the live tour but in actuality it is a biography of Kerri Hoskins, well, at least her Martial Arts career. A lot of reliable information and it appears copyright free. But it's not a notable newspaper well at least notability isn't a policy or all we'd have are articles of Sub-Zero and Scorpion. And also a picture of her and I'm guessing Kung Lao at the bottom of the page. Anywho, I'm mentioning this to you so that maybe we could have a joint venture to add some of this information to her article. The reason i'm asking you is because I wouldn't know how to cite it in the reflist. It is in the G section of the Sunday, January 7, 1996 of The Toledo Blade on pages 1 and 2. Please, please help me add to her article so it can be kept from deletion. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 23:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Gamerankings and Gamestats

I've found these sites filled with aggregate scores and plenty of reviews of all Mortal Kombat games ever to exist. I am not exagerrating. http://search.gamestats.com/products?domain=on&query=Mortal+kombat

This search also includes the ports to handhelds. Would this be reliable information to put on the MK game articles?

First Mortal Kombat game made in 10 months

I have found more articles that I require feedback on.

I have found two articles that say that MK1 was created in 10 months.

http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19940419&id=z64RAAAAIBAJ&sjid=z-wDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6741,2381083

(There used to be an actual link to the article in html form on the official deseret news site but it was removed from the site)

And also an interview with Ed Boon with the Official Nintendo Magazine corroborates this. http://web.archive.org/web/20071023152817/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/news_060707_mortal.html

But a more reliable-appearing article says that it was created in five and a half months. http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=23

Which should we use to put on the Mortal Kombat 1 article so that we have more conception information?

Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 01:03, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

The reviews will take a while putting it on all articles, but i'm willing. As for the second part, sounds good. I'll try to put that in tonight. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 00:26, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

As a little bit of a side-bar, I think some of the information you deleted has somewhat of a source. This article:

http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=23 (The same article just a few lines above this post) states, "Mortal Kombat was created by Midway Games in only five and a half months as a competitor for the hugely popular Street Fighter II..." While I don't believe any of what this article says to be true, it somewhat substantiates the fact that MK was a response to SF2. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 02:07, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

That makes sense, Thanks. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 02:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

A few points

1. Mattisse can edit his own talk page and as such he does not need me to do anything for him there
2. I only undid my own blanking of the page, I did not add any content
3. The content you removed[7] was added by Mattisse: [8]

I hope this clears up our misunderstanding. Chillum 16:57, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Sources for Saint Seiya

Hello ! I've seen you're a regular contributor on the Saint Seiya article, and I have also read your request for sources about the origins of the story.

I possess several japanese Saint Seiya artbooks/databooks, and I thought we could work together to make a really good article. The main difficulty is that I cannot read japanese, so we may have to team with a japanese-speaking user. However, the books can still be useful concerning broadcast or publication dates, staff, and the like (easier to understand).

• Jump Gold Selection ~ Anime Special vol. 3 (1989)
• Saint Seiya Encyclopedia/"Taizen" (2001)
• Shueisha Visual Remix Saint Seiya the Hades Chapter-Sanctuary (2003)
• Saint Seiya Shingo Araki & Michi Himeno Illustrations ~Hikari~ (2004)
• Saint Seiya Masami Kurumada Illustrations Sora (2004)

I have also located several Japanese and non-Japanese interviews with Kurumada. Some are in japanese and were fan-translated on forums, some are original interviews published by western magazines (generally French, Italian and Portuguese). Among those, some are directly scanned, and some are only internet transcripts. The internet transcripts may not appear reliable but they all contain details about the original publication.

• Kappa Magazine #80 - February 1999 (Italian - transcipt)
• interview published throughout volumes 19 to 27 of the Italian edition of the Saint Seiya manga - 2001/2002 (Italian - transcript)
• Henshin #31 - February 2002 (Portuguese - scans)
• Animeland #97 - January 2004 (French - transcript)
• Animeland #117 - December 2005 (French - currently I only have a portuguese fan-translation, but I might be able to have direct scans)
• Saint Cloth Chronicle - August 2008 (Japanese - scans and fan translation in French)

Thank you, I just listed it for peer-review, hopefully I'll get some good input and can then put it up for featured list, I was thinking about maybe having a featured topic with Bleach (manga) at the top and ten having the main episode, chapters, games and discography. To create a Bleach media topic.

In regards to Bleach (Season 10), I've gone through it twice for errors, and it looks like it is all fine for me now, maybe it's time to put it up for Featured List? --Lightlowemon (talk) 08:08, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

I know this is an odd thing to ask

There's a fellow working on an article for Zero from the Mega Man series, and one of the biggest hurdles it has is getting enough reception to satisfy notability. You've pretty much proven to be a wiz when it comes to this sort of problem though, and since I've only managed to find two articles on a quick search and juggling a ton on my own already I figured I'd ask if you could look into it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 22:56, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Haha! Tintor you are awesome as hell dude. I overlooked some of those myself without thinking about it because I went so fast. >_<

There was something I wanted to tell you btw: you might go through the Gamest awards again. I've noticed while digging for reception from them that many characters placed in their lists more than once (i.e. Ryuji, Mai (a helluva lot for Mai)). Might be useful to add some bulk to the articles.

Thanks again!--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:09, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Red

Yeah it's an odd situation, and doesn't help that Gary Oak and Blue are treated as the same in that Wikipedia article because, pretty much, they are (though the incarnations of the character have taken very different turns). Really even the manga Red's different in many ways than his game counterpart, to the point they might as well be regarded separate entities in the same way Ash is to Red.

I do know something's really got to be done there one way or another, and it would help a lot to have some confirmation one way or another from Nintendo.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:35, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

list of Death Note episodes

Hello Tintor2. Do you know anything about the series Death Note? I need help on List of Death Note Episodes. I've trimmed down 24 episodes and I want it to look like the FA-lists ones. NarSakSasLee (talk) 19:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you then. Sorry about your connection. What episode have you gotten to in the anime? NarSakSasLee (talk) 20:08, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I think that's episode 30 or something. But can you at least check the ones I've done? A simple yes or no would be a good indicator that I've written them properly. If they need work then just say the word and I'll see what I can do with them. NarSakSasLee (talk) 12:21, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I forgot to say that user:Dinoguy1000 said they were better than the ones I was replacing. He said they read like narrations more than summaries but admitted that he doesn't have experiance in plot summaries on the talk page. NarSakSasLee (talk) 12:24, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Shishio Makoto

What up buddy? Just a question about Shishio: he was shot multiple times in the manga too right? I know it happened in the anime, so I was wondering if it should be referenced. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 13:33, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't remember that happened in the manga.Tintor2 (talk) 18:48, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

So how did it happen in the manga? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 20:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

RfD discussion on Sota Higurashi

In researching the Wikipedia history of Sota Higurashi for the current RfD discussion regarding Sota Higurashi, I noticed that you have previously commented on his notability. It would be very helpful to get have your thoughts added to the RfD discussion, which currently appears to be heading toward delete. Many thanks. —Zach425 ^talk/contribs 08:02, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Bleach episodes

Have you seen this?

I just looked on amazon japan, and indeed, the "past" episodes are being released under a separate name, whereas currently they are listed with the other episodes. Until now, we've followed the japanese dvd releases, because of they way they split into seasons, but the "past" eps are only six episodes, and are being released as a separate season/arc. This of course directly affects the FLC for Season 10. I've not started a discussion elsewhere as you seem to be the main editor behind getting the lists organised now that Sephiroth BCR is AWOL.
