Sorry, I didn't know. However, both SEGA and Grounding confirmed that Ulala was getting a new voice actor for the new upcoming Space Channel 5 remake called Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash. The game itself is set to be released in 2019, but informational sources such as Twitter confirmed that Ulala is going to be voiced by Cherami Leigh succeeding Apollo Smile, who will no longer be voicing her.

You reverted my edit for no good reason. Patents are valid sources for a text that says that a patent was filed. They are also legal proof of invention, and their (accepted) claims detail the inventive step (the "technology"). I will redo the edit without the patent reference for now, though I do think it should be allowed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flashdiskpioneer ( talk • contribs) 20:04, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
The three people are the three named as inventors in the patent title page (link below for your convenience), and assignee is M-Systems. So I think my edit is very well-sourced.

General Ization,
I left you a note last night, (this morning at 2am), which was grammatically wobbly. I have addressed these grammar issues, and added to the note. I'm now re-sending it. ......................... Friday 28th December 2018 02:00am
Tonight I noticed that I had a message in the sandbox, and discovered that the piece that I had added to the David Bowie article had been deleted.. And that, apparently, I had vandalised the page!! .. This had, (apparently), been deleted by someone saying "Not True. I was there!"
Well, so was I! I can remember sitting in the audience as David mimed. He had a Grundig tape recorder with him onstage, and he was miming to music coming from the recorder. I remember exactly what he was wearing. I went backstage after his performance, because there was a break, after which I was due onstage. Something unusual happened to him that night, but this has already gone beyond what's necessary to convey authenticity in this matter. My memory is clear, and can be attested by any number of people who are still alive.
So what might wikipedia have against the truth? Perhaps it's annoying that people in their 70's, and beyond, are still alive to attest their work and those who shared in it along the way. Or perhaps I'm writing to a bot. Or perhaps I'm writing to someone much younger who is living in a country thousands of miles/kilometres away. Or perhaps it's just a matter of bureaucracy, or form..
Lengthy essay concerning the editor's impressions and opinions about truth and Wikipedia |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
I must admit that I don't really have the time to correct all the errors in texts written about myself, but that latterly wikipedia has become more 'organised' in its treatment of articles written about living people. The article on myself has undergone some good changes in the recent past in terms of its shape and language, but wikipedia has to be careful that it is not editing its subject, or things seminal to its subject's process or achievements, out of any given article. Because I don't really have the time to become a full time editor of anything other than what I write, I have to respect, generally, what is written about the times I've lived through. In my visits to wikipedia, I sometimes browse events I've attended in the past. Generally speaking, the input to wikipedia is somewhere near the mark, but there are times when I find discrepancy between what I think I know to be true, and someone else's opinion on the subject. Sometimes I see something that 'omits' fact. This is one of those. I don't usually attempt to change these texts, but lately, considering certain injustices that have taken place against me, and against my name, I have taken to wanting to redress the balance a little. Wikipedia is not the only culprit. The whole of English speaking society, if not world society, has changed drastically from democratic exchange and facilitation to a harder and much less communicative model based on draconian movements of previously unimaginable scale which seem to revile the very basis of reason. No doubt in time the humans will revert to humanity, but they might not. Small considerations like population density might obstruct the path to actual freedoms in such a manner that the animal itself is changed beyond former recognisable mentalities. This is happening in any case, it's just a matter of how quickly more autocratic changes take hold; and how the sheer speed of their arrival shapes future mentality. The manner in which the animal has treated it's own planet might also impinge upon its viability, sooner rather than later. However, these are chestnuts some of us have been roasting for decades. The points that I'm making are that, a, I don't vandalise wikipedia, and b, I only address what I consider to be either an error or an exclusion or 'oversight'. Admittedly, the latest correction I've made could be classed as an act of vandalisation, but at least it got your attention. I never mean to be rude, and I'll always be respectful, but at this moment I might as well be talking to the wall. You are not yet a real person. I have not discovered you. We have not yet had an exchange that I would regard as not being part of some automised procedure. Finally, I will always defend what I believe to be true. I'm very tired of being trodden on at present. There is much to enjoy about my own life, but at the edges it is constantly frayed by lunatic fringes of chattering apes who think that justice entails nailing everyone to their own ideas of what it should mean at its most Orwellian. I wrote the song dedicated to the Big Brother ethic Orwell had predicted, and we were all too aware of in 1984. It was called Nineteen Forty Eightish. To quote the first four lines, 'The lemmings push their pens and rush, in hordes of crashing stupor, towards the farms of Babylon, to scramble Mother Nature...' etc. This ethic is now manifest throughout ALL social media, including wikipedia. Obviously. Last night I provided you with a screen shot of a photograph of the poster for that 1968 tour. As you will discern, it is authentic. No one would be able to produce anything like that in 2018 without spending precious time and cash just to send it to wikipedia to be trashed. I WAS part of a tour that was a double bill of Tyrranosaurus Rex and Roy Harper, supported by Stephan Grossman and David Bowie. And one of the venues we played was The Royal Festival Hall. To deny that, as wikipedia, a body of editors, is frankly stupid and meaningless. I WILL fight this one. I realise that it's something and nothing, insignificant, and that it doesn't actually matter at all, but I will fight it.... because what I've said IS true. And there's no end of proof. I will hope that we don't have to do this in front of a wider public than already share this missive. And because its public needs to be warned about wikipedia. Warned about a deviant source of editorial, posing as factual, when in fact, a fair percentage of it is probably fake, as they would say in the Trump vernacular. Until recently, I've been a big fan of wikipedia, but I have to say that I'm not so sure about the validity of all of its policy directives, some of which appear at present to be perched on inaccessible plinths akin to those often epitomised in the public places of repressive regimes. Wikipedia may not survive any more honest or less convoluted successor, particularly in its biographical content. Wikipedia should neither be a policewoman nor a nanny. Neither judge nor jury. Neither watchdog nor posse comitatus. It should not insinuate or, however mildly, incriminate. It should not continue to support and protect a smear, however intentional, or not. It has to steer clear of anything that could be construed as bias or messaged in anyway from, or allied to, any state agency. Otherwise it might as well become an arm of the state. Apologies, sincerely, but I'm tired, very tired, of offering facts that are immediately considered to be untrue, or at best apocryphal, when I know myself that they are exactly right, beyond any reasonable doubt! Not all of the people featured on the poster I sent last night are dead, including the people who commissioned it, and at least one other who shared the stage on that tour. I.e., there are living witnesses, some of whom may live for another twenty or thirty years. |

Editor's opinions about another editor's post here |

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
I understand just how stressful that could be. One doesn't imagine that there are warring factions among administrators or editors. This means that the whole structure of wikipedia is in danger of being undermined, or taken over by forces of extreme socio/political or pathological natures. So how do I/we expose this/these character(s)? And do you have an ID for him/her/it/them that will not be seen on/in this post? What recourse is there? I realise that I can be taken down, at least as an editor, for continuously 'vandalising' a page, but wouldn't this eventually attract the attention of superiors to a problem? Or are they involved in wars as well? Or is it more bolshevic than that? Can I be taken out as an editor by a junior administrator? I'd be grateful for a reply. |

You previously dealt with this user and nominated many of their creations for deletion at [ [19]] (others can be seen on that page as well.) This user is still creating these categories, and I was alerted to this through their addition of one of them in [ this edit.] A quick look at their contributions shows many have not been dealt with.

It seems that we are in some sort of picle regarding his doctoral tag. He as formally assumed the use of the tag hence warranting it's application in his page but you seem to be reverting it. Case on point is use on his official Twitter handle and refference by other individuals in the country. Please inform me what guided your reversion. please note that the Regards.

Please note that he reffers to himself as husler and has come to be nicknamed as such, I'll give you sufficient local citation on that.

Citation was given. I see this as a POV issue rather than disruptive editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadychiri ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
You reverted my edit for no good reason. Patents are valid sources for a text that says that a patent was filed. They are also legal proof of invention, and their (accepted) claims detail the inventive step (the "technology"). I will redo the edit without the patent reference for now, though I do think it should be allowed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flashdiskpioneer ( talk • contribs) 20:04, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
The three people are the three named as inventors in the patent title page (link below for your convenience), and assignee is M-Systems. So I think my edit is very well-sourced.

I received a ping for this edit by Myalternate account. After reading the edit summary, I can say for sure that's not me. I'm actually trying to avoid editing a lot on here because I got mentally exhausted by the edit-warring debacle and I don't want to endure another hassle like that. Seeing as you're the one who reverted that edit, I just wanted to let you know that I honestly didn't make that edit in the first place. Alivebills ( talk) 05:02, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
General Ization,
I left you a note last night, (this morning at 2am), which was grammatically wobbly. I have addressed these grammar issues, and added to the note. I'm now re-sending it. ......................... Friday 28th December 2018 02:00am
Tonight I noticed that I had a message in the sandbox, and discovered that the piece that I had added to the David Bowie article had been deleted.. And that, apparently, I had vandalised the page!! .. This had, (apparently), been deleted by someone saying "Not True. I was there!"
Well, so was I! I can remember sitting in the audience as David mimed. He had a Grundig tape recorder with him onstage, and he was miming to music coming from the recorder. I remember exactly what he was wearing. I went backstage after his performance, because there was a break, after which I was due onstage. Something unusual happened to him that night, but this has already gone beyond what's necessary to convey authenticity in this matter. My memory is clear, and can be attested by any number of people who are still alive.
So what might wikipedia have against the truth? Perhaps it's annoying that people in their 70's, and beyond, are still alive to attest their work and those who shared in it along the way. Or perhaps I'm writing to a bot. Or perhaps I'm writing to someone much younger who is living in a country thousands of miles/kilometres away. Or perhaps it's just a matter of bureaucracy, or form..
Lengthy essay concerning the editor's impressions and opinions about truth and Wikipedia |

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
I must admit that I don't really have the time to correct all the errors in texts written about myself, but that latterly wikipedia has become more 'organised' in its treatment of articles written about living people. The article on myself has undergone some good changes in the recent past in terms of its shape and language, but wikipedia has to be careful that it is not editing its subject, or things seminal to its subject's process or achievements, out of any given article. Because I don't really have the time to become a full time editor of anything other than what I write, I have to respect, generally, what is written about the times I've lived through. In my visits to wikipedia, I sometimes browse events I've attended in the past. Generally speaking, the input to wikipedia is somewhere near the mark, but there are times when I find discrepancy between what I think I know to be true, and someone else's opinion on the subject. Sometimes I see something that 'omits' fact. This is one of those. I don't usually attempt to change these texts, but lately, considering certain injustices that have taken place against me, and against my name, I have taken to wanting to redress the balance a little. Wikipedia is not the only culprit. The whole of English speaking society, if not world society, has changed drastically from democratic exchange and facilitation to a harder and much less communicative model based on draconian movements of previously unimaginable scale which seem to revile the very basis of reason. No doubt in time the humans will revert to humanity, but they might not. Small considerations like population density might obstruct the path to actual freedoms in such a manner that the animal itself is changed beyond former recognisable mentalities. This is happening in any case, it's just a matter of how quickly more autocratic changes take hold; and how the sheer speed of their arrival shapes future mentality. The manner in which the animal has treated it's own planet might also impinge upon its viability, sooner rather than later. However, these are chestnuts some of us have been roasting for decades. The points that I'm making are that, a, I don't vandalise wikipedia, and b, I only address what I consider to be either an error or an exclusion or 'oversight'. Admittedly, the latest correction I've made could be classed as an act of vandalisation, but at least it got your attention. I never mean to be rude, and I'll always be respectful, but at this moment I might as well be talking to the wall. You are not yet a real person. I have not discovered you. We have not yet had an exchange that I would regard as not being part of some automised procedure. Finally, I will always defend what I believe to be true. I'm very tired of being trodden on at present. There is much to enjoy about my own life, but at the edges it is constantly frayed by lunatic fringes of chattering apes who think that justice entails nailing everyone to their own ideas of what it should mean at its most Orwellian. I wrote the song dedicated to the Big Brother ethic Orwell had predicted, and we were all too aware of in 1984. It was called Nineteen Forty Eightish. To quote the first four lines, 'The lemmings push their pens and rush, in hordes of crashing stupor, towards the farms of Babylon, to scramble Mother Nature...' etc. This ethic is now manifest throughout ALL social media, including wikipedia. Obviously. Last night I provided you with a screen shot of a photograph of the poster for that 1968 tour. As you will discern, it is authentic. No one would be able to produce anything like that in 2018 without spending precious time and cash just to send it to wikipedia to be trashed. I WAS part of a tour that was a double bill of Tyrranosaurus Rex and Roy Harper, supported by Stephan Grossman and David Bowie. And one of the venues we played was The Royal Festival Hall. To deny that, as wikipedia, a body of editors, is frankly stupid and meaningless. I WILL fight this one. I realise that it's something and nothing, insignificant, and that it doesn't actually matter at all, but I will fight it.... because what I've said IS true. And there's no end of proof. I will hope that we don't have to do this in front of a wider public than already share this missive. And because its public needs to be warned about wikipedia. Warned about a deviant source of editorial, posing as factual, when in fact, a fair percentage of it is probably fake, as they would say in the Trump vernacular. Until recently, I've been a big fan of wikipedia, but I have to say that I'm not so sure about the validity of all of its policy directives, some of which appear at present to be perched on inaccessible plinths akin to those often epitomised in the public places of repressive regimes. Wikipedia may not survive any more honest or less convoluted successor, particularly in its biographical content. Wikipedia should neither be a policewoman nor a nanny. Neither judge nor jury. Neither watchdog nor posse comitatus. It should not insinuate or, however mildly, incriminate. It should not continue to support and protect a smear, however intentional, or not. It has to steer clear of anything that could be construed as bias or messaged in anyway from, or allied to, any state agency. Otherwise it might as well become an arm of the state. Apologies, sincerely, but I'm tired, very tired, of offering facts that are immediately considered to be untrue, or at best apocryphal, when I know myself that they are exactly right, beyond any reasonable doubt! Not all of the people featured on the poster I sent last night are dead, including the people who commissioned it, and at least one other who shared the stage on that tour. I.e., there are living witnesses, some of whom may live for another twenty or thirty years. |

I did a sampling of Category:Dames Commander of the Order of the British Empire and found that the use of the title "Dame" as a prefix in these articles is very common. I've restored the title, added a post nominal, and added the category. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 22:59, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

I understand just how stressful that could be. One doesn't imagine that there are warring factions among administrators or editors. This means that the whole structure of wikipedia is in danger of being undermined, or taken over by forces of extreme socio/political or pathological natures. So how do I/we expose this/these character(s)? And do you have an ID for him/her/it/them that will not be seen on/in this post? What recourse is there? I realise that I can be taken down, at least as an editor, for continuously 'vandalising' a page, but wouldn't this eventually attract the attention of superiors to a problem? Or are they involved in wars as well? Or is it more bolshevic than that? Can I be taken out as an editor by a junior administrator? I'd be grateful for a reply. |
