Well to start, I apologize if I offended you. The term of the not a crystal ball really exists in wikipedia, as be bold or anything else. Second, although I read Episode G I dont understand many panels so I dont understand the weapons. Third, many editors have told me not to edit somethings unless Im sure. Again, I apologize and I hope we will get on well(that sounded strange...). Tintor2 10:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, I apologise you in return for being angry. I don't know if I've shown too much aggression on what I told you. If I have, sorry.
As for Kreios' Soma, I've provided the possible weapon Kreios' Soma can be on the concerning talk page already. Please check. I'm willing to discuss. Anthonydraco ( talk) 22:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
About that line I checked in two editions and the quoote of Shaka was:
"I dont understand it... if the Pope was Saga how couldnt I feel minor darkness inside him?" It was the same page, I read two versions.
Apart from that if you read Lost Canvas I wanted to ask you if you know if the specter Veronica is a man or a woman. Tintor2 10:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, long time. After a talk with an experienced user from manga and other things, he told me we can edit the volume 7 although we dont know the chapters. The point is that as most tankobon come with 8 chapters I wrote 8 in the volume 7. However, before writing the volume 8, we need to confirm its release date. Well see you. Tintor2 21:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
About Episode G, I have most volumes downloaded from a website but in spanish, I think you can create an article of Episode G characters and merged the ones of the article to reduce the length of the main one. I have been rewording some characters from Lost Canvas to present tense but they are a lot. Ill see what I can do. Tintor2 00:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Do you mind if I create an article for the characters in Episode G? that would be more organized in my opinion, Im also going to give more style to the chapters guide giving dates, isbn and their respective references. Tintor2 12:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I started a discussion in Talk:List of Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas characters. Please pay a look and comment. Tintor2 00:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
There is something I would like to ask you: Do the tankobon you have of Episode G have some words of Megumu Okada? The Episode.G characters article need some out-of-universe. Also, I would like to know if Megumu Okada comments sometimes about Pegasus Seiya (opinions, bla). Regards. Tintor2 17:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh god, I was waiting for someone to use my up-and-coming artist UBX. Thanks so much! Are you really one? Want to see some of your work then. ;) -- Jw 21/Penalty Killah VANucks|24-14-4 07:05, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough; perhaps instruction creep was too derogatory a term to use, as it implies that you were intending to over-control the article. Allow me to unequivocally state that I do not feel you were trying to do that. I just feel it really isn't necessary. If the same sort of problem keeps occurring, its usually best to come the discussion page, find a consensus, and then point to it when/if the problem recurs. Most folk, I have learned through long, hard experience, don't listen to hidden instructions anyway. They do listen to consensus, or fail to at their peril. Thanks for letting me know politely, Anthonydraco. You have no idea how much I appreciate civility. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 13:52, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I only removed the mention of destroying the soul snare to make the sentence more readable, I wrote the plot section originally and had mentioned the destruction of the soul snare, it was removed to thin the section down. I agree with you and only removed it to lessen the length of the plot section, I meant no slight on your wording. Revert the edit/re-add the mention of the snare being destroyed, I would but I'm on my iPhone and it runs the desktop version too slowly haha, apologies for any misunderstanding dude! Bobfordsgun ( talk) 15:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
I wasn't offended! You were completely right about the summary needing an extra phrase to clarify that Neo grew up in the simulated world, so I kept that addition with a bit of rewording.
As for the debate over how to describe the point at which he's ambushed: "just before" is a fair enough way of wording it. I only reduced it to one word "upon" because of my longstanding obsession with keeping the section's word count as low as possible. I know it's only a difference of one word, but I can be a bit wary of edits that might eventually lead to the plot summary creeping up above the recommended length, as it has in the past! :) -- Nick R Talk 13:11, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Anthony for the good suggestions. I wasn't aware of a word limit on Wikipedia article plot summaries, but it makes sense--I've seen some REALLY long movie plot descriptions in some Wikipedia articles, and I don't want to encourage that. As I was editing the Plot section, I realized it was already pretty long, and wondered if I was just making it tediously longer. I'll come back to the article to do some trimming later, but it's a little late tonight for me to do more work on it. JohnSawyer ( talk) 08:18, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Good news... the copyedit is now complete.
Bad news... there's significant close paraphrasing (see WP:PARAPHRASE) from at least one source.
Duplication detector report from before I started copyediting, to show the extent of the original problem with use of that one source (it could in fact have been worse than this previously).
Duplication detector report showing what's left right now.
You probably need to find out who added the most problematic of these copy-pastes ( Wikipedia:WikiBlame may be able to help) and then work out what else they added to the article, as that will also need checking.
This may all seem a bit extreme, but it's better to sort it out now rather than later. Otherwise, if it's submitted for GA and passes, it'd likely end up getting de-listed later, which makes the reviewer, the nominator, and the copy-editor all look silly, and also ends with no GA. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 19:05, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for asking me about Eva 3.0 and letting me know about the plot problems (though it seems you were already working something out with our mysterious contributor, while I was getting a good night's sleep). I've made some of my own edits, which you are welcome to examine and edit (plot is still over the 700 word limit, but the sheer amount of plot dumps and not fully explained vagaries may prevent this). Thanks again for reaching out! Ode2joy ( talk) 16:21, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Wow, I didn't know things were in flux — it seemed like with you and ScroCat especially it was good hands. I'll go take a look. I've seen AmericanDad edit and he can be needlessly aggressive. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 14:52, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello! I've paraphrased some material that was directly copied from this article. Compare this duplication report with this one to see what I've done so far. As you can see, only five-word matches are left now (except one which lists the names of the actors). Five-word matches include phrases that don't have to be or can't be translated (e.g. The Lord of the Rings). Therefore, I think we don't have to paraphrase the remaining material that could've been taken from Andrew Godoski's article. What do you say? Nataev talk 11:42, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Didn't know about this. Sorry. (Btw, I think it is not going to be easy to ascertain which full stops are part of the quoted material and which are not.) I think the best thing we can do now is to undo all of the edits until we reach my edit where I changed the punctuation. Then one of my edits needs to be restored. Shall I proceed? Nataev talk 11:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
hi,
I disagree with your undo of my change on The Matrix page. i wish you would have talked before undoing unilaterally.
I had modeled my change on the pages for the Matrix franchise, Bound, V for Vendetta, the Invasion, and Speed Racer. All the past credits that I have found to Larry elsewhere in Wikipedia have been changed to Lana (Ectokid...)
Let me ask you this: In real life, how would you explain to a ten year old who has never heard of the Matrix who the creative team was?
Would you tell someone:
1) "The matrix was created by The Wachowski Brothers" or 2) "The Matrix was created by The Wachowskis"
Alternate question: 1) "The Matrix was created by Larry and Andy Wachowski" or 2) "The Matrix was created by Lana and Andy Wachowski"
People interested in the origins of the creative team and their history can click on the link to the page "The Wachowskis" and learn everything there is to learn.
Alternate question: in 20 years, will there be any mention of the Wachowski Brothers anywhere outside of a few pages that explain the transition?
Also, not sure why my entry was against Truth and History. How is my entry ("The Matrix was directed by the Wachowskis") untruthful or incorrect historically?
Finally, how do you go from my entry "The Matrix was directed by the Wachowskis" to your comment: "Incorrect: Larry was a a man at the time, nothing changed on his birth certificate". Where did I imply the he wasn't a man at the time? Did I say "The Matrix was directed by a man and a woman"? Isnt the name "The Wachowskis" compatible with both members of the team being any gender?

Thanks for the edit at The Covenant. My edit was to make the references to David and Walter consistent throughout the article. In the first paragraph David is called a synthetic, while in the second paragraph Walter is called an android. These should be consistent and possibly you can look at this. Either choice of description works, though they should be consistent if you could edit in your preference for both of them. ManKnowsInfinity ( talk) 15:27, 16 May 2017 (UTC) .

The article Sanctuary (Saint Seiya) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Therefore, I think we don't have to paraphrase the remaining material that could've been taken from Andrew Godoski's article. What do you say? Nataev talk 11:42, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Didn't know about this. Sorry. (Btw, I think it is not going to be easy to ascertain which full stops are part of the quoted material and which are not.) I think the best thing we can do now is to undo all of the edits until we reach my edit where I changed the punctuation. Then one of my edits needs to be restored. Shall I proceed? Nataev talk 11:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
hi,
I disagree with your undo of my change on The Matrix page. i wish you would have talked before undoing unilaterally.
I had modeled my change on the pages for the Matrix franchise, Bound, V for Vendetta, the Invasion, and Speed Racer. All the past credits that I have found to Larry elsewhere in Wikipedia have been changed to Lana (Ectokid...)
Let me ask you this: In real life, how would you explain to a ten year old who has never heard of the Matrix who the creative team was?
Would you tell someone:
1) "The matrix was created by The Wachowski Brothers" or 2) "The Matrix was created by The Wachowskis"
Alternate question: 1) "The Matrix was created by Larry and Andy Wachowski" or 2) "The Matrix was created by Lana and Andy Wachowski"
People interested in the origins of the creative team and their history can click on the link to the page "The Wachowskis" and learn everything there is to learn.
Alternate question: in 20 years, will there be any mention of the Wachowski Brothers anywhere outside of a few pages that explain the transition?
Also, not sure why my entry was against Truth and History. How is my entry ("The Matrix was directed by the Wachowskis") untruthful or incorrect historically?
Finally, how do you go from my entry "The Matrix was directed by the Wachowskis" to your comment: "Incorrect: Larry was a a man at the time, nothing changed on his birth certificate". Where did I imply the he wasn't a man at the time? Did I say "The Matrix was directed by a man and a woman"? Isnt the name "The Wachowskis" compatible with both members of the team being any gender?

No need to bother. Here's the response:

Thanks for the edit at The Covenant. My edit was to make the references to David and Walter consistent throughout the article. In the first paragraph David is called a synthetic, while in the second paragraph Walter is called an android. These should be consistent and possibly you can look at this. Either choice of description works, though they should be consistent if you could edit in your preference for both of them. ManKnowsInfinity ( talk) 15:27, 16 May 2017 (UTC) .

Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. Been using this account for almost 10 years with no problem. No alternate account. Hardly even log off to edit with bare IP address. Always follow the guidelines and policy and has never been blocked by administrators before. Please investigate. Anthonydraco ( talk) 20:43, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Hello! You forgot to tell us your IP address, so we can't investigate your claim. You can find this using WhatIsMyIP. If you don't wish to provide this publicly, you may use WP:UTRS. Yamla ( talk) 20:51, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

UTRS appeal #18446 was submitted on Jun 05, 2017 21:08:32. This review is now closed.

Please try now. I think I have lifted the block which was affecting you. The previous person on that IP address was running a proxy. -- Yamla ( talk) 21:40, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Resolved. Asked the unblocking administrator and found that the problem was caused by the rotating IP address having once fallen into the hands of an open proxy provider. No violation on my part. Kept for reference. Anthonydraco ( talk) 16:12, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

The article Sanctuary (Saint Seiya) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
