To ask, can we start using "Gekijuuken Beast Arts" yet? With Juuken in the series title, we should start considering stuff like that. Fractyl 01:36, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Fractyl 01:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
The Gekijuuken Beast Arts (激獣拳ビーストアーツ, Gekijūken Bīsuto Ātsu, Fierece Beast-Fist) is the school that represents the "Juuken of Justice" which the Gekirangers practice. It is founded by the legendary seven Kensei (拳聖, Kensei, Fist Saints, pun on "Sensei"), one of whom is mentor to the Gekirangers.
The Rinjuuken Akugata (臨獣拳アクガタ, Rinjūken Akugata, Confrontation Beast-Fist) is the school that represents the "Juuken of Evil" that gets energy from the suffering of others created by the Three Kenma (三拳魔, Sankenma, Fist Demons). The main school is known as the Rinjuu Hall (臨獣殿, Rinjūden), where all of the dead users are brought back to the world of the living. Fractyl 20:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
The term you are to go with is Mechung Fu (銘功夫(メカンフー), Mekanfū), a combinaton of the two words. Fractyl 22:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Fine, I'll reattempt the Gekijuuken/Rinjuuken later when I have more back up in materials (Hopefully by lesson 39), but Kensei is now the new thing to bring up. It turns out Kensei is actually a pun on "Sensei" Fractyl 21:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Ryulong. I cannot maintain alive the template Power Rangers, but you want, talk with Dodo, he want delete it. I cannot do nothing, Im sorry. Kamen Rider Nigo - (Can I help you?) 15:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
I replied to you at the talk page. -- CmdrClow 21:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
You didn't object when I provided the Kensei info, saying "whatever" to give me the OK. Plus, I never said the Kanji were the same. 先 聖 translates into Sensei in the terms of "Ancient Sage" or Confucius (Juuken did start in China, as well as the word Sensei itself). Furthermore, "Sensei" is a term used for a martial arts teacher worldwide. Fractyl 00:52, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. You blocked a fairly large range of IPs, including mine (76.179.47.111). Once I logged in, I was able to edit (obviously), but I've had this IP for quite a while (it's an RR address in Maine) and haven't vandalized from it. Any chance you could fine-tune the block a bit? Thanks.-- SarekOfVulcan 05:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Fractyl 18:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate your trying to get the IP range block on SummerThunder. My regular account has personal information on it, so I've been using this one exclusively for ST sock fighting. Anyway, I noticed you listed this account's user page on a "protected from creation" list here [1], and I just wanted to let you know I was cool with that, as I don't intend to add other information re: this account. Best Regards, Inspector Lee 22:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that revert of vandalism to my user page! :) Acalamari 00:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Holy heck, you work quickly. Thanks for saving me the need to tag it! -- fuzzy510 04:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Don't worry, i requested a block on that IP :) Giggity Giggity GOO! 04:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Do you mind adding a block message to accounts you've blocked? I just wasted my time twice in the last minute warning a vandal reported to WP:AIV that you had already blocked, and I imagine I'm not the only one. It only leads to duplication of effort. Titoxd( ?!? - cool stuff) 08:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, there's been a lot of vandalism of your page from dynamic IPs. After a lot of reverting and blocking, I decided to semi-protect. I would have chosen 12 hours, except that I saw it was already fully protected from moves, and I was afraid that the expiry of the edit semi-protection would also mean expiry of the move protection. So I made it indefinite, and I leave it up to you to undo it whenever you find it necessary. Cheers. ElinorD (talk) 17:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm flying into Orlando for the weekend of August 17-19. I've asked Mike Haltermann (who is currently interning at the foundation HQ) to setup a meetup in Tampa that weekend. I remember seeing you couldn't make it to the NY meetup because you said you'd be back in Florida. Here's your chance to participate in one. Raul654 02:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Why is Pokemonleafgreen ( talk · contribs) blocked? What makes you believe they're a disruptive sockpuppet? They have no contributions, so I'm a bit perplexed. Cheers! 18:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

What about this: Category:Cankiri? -- Homer Landskirty 20:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
User's sole edits have been to edit userpage, and when I prodded it a couple of days ago he just removed it (four horus ago). Clearly this person is bent on keeping this user page, so I was wondering – would it be more appropriate to MFD it now or wait a couple of weeks in hopes that Jokenda will start contributing to the encyclopedia? hbdragon88 20:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
You may want to consider extending his 31-hour block to indef--it turns out his userpage was a blatant copyvio of http://members.tripod.com/~foxielady/index.html. Blueboy 96 12:27, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Just a quick query as to why this episode was deleted? I would have thought that the aim of this site would be to eventually have a page for all the episodes with a description, and I would hardly call CotZ an unimportant episode. If you could just clarify for me, then I know if I should bother adding details for any future episodes or not - MiChaos 12:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC).

Hi, back in May you semiprotected English language indefinitely. Was there any discussion where it was agreed that, like George W. Bush, English language should be one of the pages indefinitely semiprotected? If not, I'd like to unprotect it if you don't object. — Angr 19:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
There's an unblock request up at User talk:64.231.70.47. Thought you might like to comment. On a side note, it is so aggravating to find when there's a rangeblock in place: at least it was clear there was one because your summary said you were blocking a range. I notice you do a fair number of them and I was thinking: would it be much trouble to include the IP range in the block summary? That way in a request like this, the block can be found right away.

I know that the Heisei movies are supposed to exist in a different timeline and storyline, but this month's episodes are kinda derailing that (I don't know what went on with Kabuto last year at this time, but the continuity this year seems to be blending together).— Ryūlóng ( 竜龍) 23:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, now I have to figure out what to do with Rick lay95 ( talk · contribs). He has a tendency to upload fair use images and not say anything else about them.

You reverted the Villians in Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive section back to its outdated form and Once a Ranger is at jetix's page and the page needs updating and I fixed the credits for my miratrix and Thrax photos. I wasn't vandalzing the pages I was trying to update them and I feel hurt when stuff I add on is removed for no reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RedLifeguardRanger ( talk • contribs)
I believe that you have been clouded by personal reasons and convinced by a group of extreme leftists who find KillerPlasmodium's political beliefs to be intolerable despite his having references to support what he has written in the articles. He is an example of a common American with beliefs engendered by the majority of Americans, and thus he will bring a semblance of neutrality to many of the most biased liberalist articles.

I'm more than happy to examine the hard evidence that an IP address used by Tor is a banned user.-- Rambutan ( talk) 06:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I would like to complain of your actions, and if you don't respond suitably, I shall bring it to wider attention. All I could see was a user deleting reasonable requests from ANI with edit summaries like "rv kuntan". I reverted, obviously. When I asked what kuntan meant, he said that the Tor IP was a sock of a banned user. I said that I would continue reverting until he provided evidence. I said the same to you. When some moderately convincing evidence was left on my talkpage by another user, I stopped reverting. The reason I didn't find WP:DUCK satisfactory was that I didn't feel he behaved like a banned user, since I had never encountered the user in question. In order for the whole world to apply DUCK, we need to know what a DUCK is. I await your reply.-- Rambutan ( talk) 06:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I agree with your assessment regarding Merkey. It seems that like a few others, (four teen AfDs??? for example), Merkey's under the special protection of Jimbo, and untouchable by Wikiprocess. I find this incredibly frustrating. I'm especially furious that Merkey's response is to apparently go off wiki and claim that I'm a 'SCOX troll'. (imagine my embarrassment at finding that this isn't an attack on my scottish heritage, but a stupid Yahoo message board.) And THAT revelation makes me wonder why Wikipedia's bothering to waste any fuckin time dealin with an OFF-Wiki Flame war? This is absurd. Block him, and fast. Anyways, I agree. I posted it at the AN/I too, but I doubt it'll help. ThuranX 03:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
What I mean by this is that there is an article that is in serious need of conforming to the standards that you hold dearly. You can find that article here. It seems to me that people over at RangerBoard have taken one of it's members postings as fact. (Although in his or her defense, this member is responsible for confirming that Adam Park, Tori, Kira, Bridge Carson, and Xander Bly would appear on it) I figured you have done such a good job in maintaining the quality of the Toku related articles, this should be a walk in the "Adam Park" for you. So if you could help in fixing it, I would be most appreciative.

Hey Ryulong, I was just checking out the unblock request for User:ZordZapper. I noticed in the block log that you mention a "possible sock puppet." Is there evidence of that, or is it a gut feeling? Just checking, because I am considering unblocking (based on the vandalism block, and an expressed desire to be a real contributer to the encyclopedia), and I did not want to do so without checking in with you.

i recently moved a page called The MARK of the Quad Cities to i wireless Center, cause the name of the arena changed. is there a way to go through and make sure all pages with the first name, are automatically changed to the current name, without having to manually do it? Thanks, Ctjf83 00:26, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I didn't realize that inviting editors to review something they had an interest in was against policy. My reading of Wikipedia:Canvassing doesn't convince me you are right. In any case, I won't ask any more of the concerned editors to contribute. Lentower 04:04, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
In the past hour or so you blocked two accounts indefinitely that appeared to be editing in good faith: User:Xterra1 and User:Civilwarguy. The former had been making a number of typo fixes before he left a foolish comment on your user talk page, but you blocked citing, "Vandalism only account," which was simply false. The latter appeared to be a newbie creating a page about a relation who served in the Civil War or something, but you blocked indefinitely citing a hoax without leaving that user any sort of warning. I'd just like to urge you to keep in mind WP:AGF, WP:BITE, and our blocking policy. Andre ( talk) 04:57, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I've unblocked him. This is ridiculous - you are far from impartial. I think Andre is right - this could have been avoided if you'd apologise. Your original block was in violation of WP:BITE and WP:BLOCK and you seem to have acknowledge it was a mistake. When we screw up we apologise, no big deal. The user wouldn't have come round here to object to your conduct had you apologised. I still think you should do so though I will ask him to stop posting to your page. Your conduct in this matter has been unbelievable. WjB scribe 22:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I do like you as an editor, but I been looking though logs and I seen many situations of WP:BITE, and the way you handled the User:Xterra1 situation is the final straw. The main reason why you passed your RFA is because you promised to stop biting the newbies, in which you did, but lately it been out of control. I ask you to step down.

While I respect your work in general, Ryu, some of these recent blocks have been troubling. I disagree that this isn't an issue. I don't want you hounded off the project, or even deadminned, but a reexamination is in order. I'm not requesting your recall at this point, but to my mind more of an answer is in order. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 23:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry Ryulong, I agree with Jaranda, Andre and The Rambling Man. You have continued to show the failings that resulted in the heavy opposition to your RfA. You bite newbies, generally don't give warnings and shoot first. You assume the very worst of new editors and the consequences are bad for the Wiki when you do so. Your failures to apologise when you have been wrong only compound this. You are highly active and most of your admin actions are correct, however the number of mistakes are way too high - many of which we will never know about because editors just give up editing the project. This a collaborative project based on a community. You are way too ready to jump to block and deletion before trying other softer options and in my opinion that can only harm the project. I had hoped given the circumstances of your RfA you would show extra caution but you have not done so and in my opinion are becoming increasingly cavalier as time has passed. If you are not willing to undertake a radical change in your conduct to address these problems, I also believe you should step down. WjB scribe 23:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I've been working on articles and some non Wikipedia things. I've apologized to Xterra1, but the IP user's constant repostings was wearing on my nerves (as were Xterra1's). I'm willing to work on my "bedside" manner.— Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you filed a sockpuppet report for this user and I thought you should know that User:Grandva Logan(temp blocked user) was editing the same articles yesterday until they got blocked. I thought that it wasn't just a coincidence in the names( obviously the user made another account but slightly edited the name) but the article List of Darkwing Duck episodes they are editing. If you look at the edit history of this article, you will notice User:Grandya Logan and User:Grandva Logan made the exact same edits (simply reverting the last edit).

Ahem, I noticed you reverted my edit earlier, wherein I changed the image of the Red Turbo Ranger, to one of the 10 Red Rangers of Forever Red (which couldn't be more fitting, if you ask me, but regardless). If you don't feel like using that image, fine, but at least use an image of a Red Ranger that was a bit more influential. Tommy's portrayal as the Red Turbo Ranger was arguably his least memorable form, he played a much more significant role as Zeo Ranger V - Red. And T.J. wasn't exactly the greatest Red Ranger in the world. But beyond that, the image itself, while a cool pose, isn't of very high quality; it's relatively degraded, in fact.
My point being... if you want to use a different image than the one I added, then use one of Andros, or Tommy, or something in that general area. Personally this image strikes me as perfect for that particular article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Redzeotommy.jpg It's memorable, of high quality, and so on. -- 156.34.78.91 02:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Hm, you have a good point there. But couldn't Turbo Red be taken as Tommy as well? By the way, I've been trying to track down a better quality image of the Red Turbo Ranger, it's surprisingly difficult.
Wait a minute, what the hell? Why are you reverting all of my edits? The yellow mystic force image is AWFUL. It's compeltely degraded and has the the Jetix watermark for god's sake! And not only that, but yellow rangers are typically female, so it's more suitable to have that section represented by a female yellow ranger. The green S.P.D. Ranger picture is a terrible shot as well. And the keeping Blue MMPR Ranger flies in the face of what you just said above about having different eras and rangers representing different colors. What exactly is your problem? I made no negative changes and have been nothing but polite. And yet you continue to undo all of my hard work, for NO REASON. -- 156.34.76.4 22:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm aware of what you're looking for. But the yellow mystic Ranger is no more encyclopedic than the yellow overdrive Ranger. I'm trying to beautify the pages, as well as keep them accurate. Half of these images are completely atrocious. I mean look at the image of the Alien Rangers, it's just two sentai shots pasted together, rather badly. As for the sentai shots versus PR shots, does it really matter in a lot of cases? It was merely a solo shot. It wasn't exactly like you could see sentai characters in the background drinking sake.
In addition to that, your comments are somewhat contradictory. You say you don't want the images to be alike, but then you have two MMPR era Rangers representing two separate colors (blue and white). And then you say you don't want the images to all be Tommy, but if you notice you have the Red Turbo Ranger for red (who may or may not be Tommy in that shot), the Black Dino Ranger for black, and the White MMPR Ranger for white; all of whom are Tommy.
I'm trying to fix up these articles so that they don't look visually bad. I know that's not important to you, but often when people go onto an article they'll be put off by shabby looking images. Essentially, I'm trying to catch people's eye, so that they stick around and don't just write it off as a crappy article due to poor visual representations of the subject-matter. -- 156.34.76.4 22:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Ah yes, but exactly, that was my point. What I've been trying to say is this: "Why can't it be both?". Why do we have to choose between encyclopedic and visually appealing? There are plenty of images out there that can do both of those things for an article. Which, in essence, is what I've been trying to get at all along. I'm not arguing against encyclopedic, that's a must. I'm merely saying that we can easily have the best of both worlds with little to no effort. I think a perfect example is the Tommy Oliver article; most of the images look fantastic AND they properly represent the article's source material. -- 156.34.88.130 23:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Which is actually why I went after PROO's yellow. I was looking for a yellow ranger in keeping with the Disney era image standard of that article (ala the PRMF yellow Ranger image), while also finding a ranger who was definitively female (IE: a skirt). Because as you know, many female yellow Rangers are adapted from male counterparts. My first thought was Kira/Yellow Dino Ranger, given that she has such a strong presence in the series... but given that DinoThunder is already represented by Tommy/Dino Black, I went on the hunt.
Anyways, I digress... it's actually been relatively difficult finding a higher quality image of OO yellow. The one I used earlier wasn't one I wanted to use, but it was the clearest shot I could find. I'll see what I can come up with though. -- 156.34.72.53 00:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Hm? Oh, ha, I thought it was obvious, I'm already registered. I'm Venomaru 2.0, the one who uploaded the images to begin with. I just don't log in unless I have to (for uploading images, etc etc), as it's just easier not to. I was mistaken in uploading said images though. I had assumed that you could upload any given image to replace a previous one. For example, I thought that the picture of S.P.D. Green could be replaced with any given image of of the same character, as long as it was, as mentioned, of that same character. -- 156.34.72.53 00:59, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Alright, the Yellow Ranger image is up, I found a new Turbo image for Tommy and T.J., and I put up the Red Space Ranger in place of the Red Turbo Ranger on the Red Ranger article. -- Venomaru 2.0 15:48, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Well we already have Andros, Billy, (Sky, while cool, isn't exactly an ideal candidate for legendary blue ranger), black is Tommy, white is Tommy, and I'm against putting Taylor in. Not because I have anything against the character, but because her costume isn't exactly feminine. The reason I chose Ronny is twofold: she has a feminine yellow ranger outfit, and because she's Disney era. We don't want to throw off the Disney to Saban ratio otherwise the articles might come off as somewhat Saban-biased.
If you want the honest truth, as much as I love Tommy and DinoThunder, I think Kira/Dino Yellow would be a much better choice for Yellow Ranger. She has a feminine costume and is Disney-era, not only that, but she has quite a fan following and has appeared in quite a few episodes (the entirety of PRDT, both S.P.D. team-up episodes, and both Once A Ranger episodes). But that would mean we'd need a new character for the Black Ranger article, which I'm fine with, but it all comes down to who. MMPR Black Zack/Adam is the obvious choice. But we already have Billy/MMPR Blue in the Blue Ranger article.
In closing, we get rid of Galaxy Pink in the Pink Ranger article, replace her with a nice quality image of Jen (I'm still searching), we replace OO Yellow with PRDT Yellow, PRDT Black with MMPR Black, and find a new Blue Ranger for Blue. Oh, and as for the Green Ranger, I'm with Bridge or Xander. I think Bridge is slightly more popular, but it doesn't throw off the Saban/Disney ratio, so either choice is fine. -- 156.34.65.22 01:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Why can't I add, notes and trivias to an episode that already aired. Countless of other episodes and team-ups episodes, have in them trivia, notes, and fun facts, about confirmed already seen facts? ( DaPuertorican 15:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC))
As I can read on the WP:ATRIV, it is accepted to add notes and facts, it isn't accepted if the facts are invented, rumors or speculation. The facts I wrote in, are of an episode that already aired, and showed all this information to be true.
I just think, since this is a very important episode of the Power Ranger Saga, a 15th years anniversary episode, it should offer more information than the one already there. Just like the article on the episode Forever Red, even though it doesn't contains the words "TRIVIA" or "NOTES", it clearly have them in the words of "CRITICISM" and "POWER RANGER REFERENCES".( DaPuertorican 23:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC))
Ok, then... I'll try to look for the notes and facts from trusted sites, and then reference them before adding them again, and I'll look for reference before posting next time. ( DaPuertorican 18:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC))

You can't translate "ゴリ" into "Gorilla", you only get "Gori". Plus it's Kata(like episode titles), so it's OK as it is. It also adds proof that Gekiwaza follow a "2-word" pattern like the episodes(except the 1st attacks by GekiPenguin & GekiGazelle). You can't count it just because Jan uses "Gori" to refer to "Gorilla". But I will add that bit of info to Gorrie's profile. Fractyl 02:39, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I saw your 48-hour block of this user (his talk seems to be on my watchlist, though I honestly don't remember why). This block is troubling in that there appears to have been no discussions with or warning of any kind given to this established user before the block. Am I missing something or might it have been better to discuss this user's image-tagging activities and your concerns about them with the user before blocking? Regards, Newyorkbrad 03:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
The block was completely inappropriate. About harassment:

Ryulong, you blocked half an hour after Videmus Omnia stopped editing, so the block can be considered punitive rather than preventative. — Kurykh 04:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
(copied from VO's talk page)
All of the people who work on image tagging (including me) will often find a group of images that merit investigation and will go through them to check for errors or violations. When one user has uploaded several violating images in the past, it is perfectly acceptable to go through that user's logs and look for other violations. That's not Wikistalking. Wikipedia:Harassment specifically condones this: "This [wikistalking] does not include checking up on an editor to fix errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, nor does it mean reading a user's contribution log; those logs are public for good reason. Using the edit history of users to correct related problems on multiple articles is part of the recommended practices both for Recent changes patrol (RCP) and WikiProject Spam. The important part is the disruption - disruption is considered harmful. Wikistalking is the act of following another user around in order to harass them." I don't see any evidence that VO was intending to harass either user. The tagging that VO did seems to have been factually correct. He has spent a lot of time over the past few weeks tagging images like this; it certainly hasn't been targeting a few users, when seen as a whole.
As for the many image-deletion notices, VO uses a tool (which I also use) that automatically notifies the uploader when an image is tagged for deletion. When I see that I have left many notices on a user's talk page, I finish all my tagging, and then I go back and compact the warnings -- simply saying something like "This applies to the following images as well. . ." It seems likely that VO was planning to do this. How would you know without asking him?
This sort of a block without prior discussion was unwarranted and unacceptable. I'm glad you chose to reverse the block. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 04:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

You have once again blocked a good faith user without the slightest bit of warning: User:Activist4TRUTHinMEDICINE . While his username may be a problem (as was his editing history), you didn't warn him or anything. And this is scant days after people had just said that you are >< close to pushing it far enough for an admin recall, and you agreed to start warning people. Not only that, but you're continuing to block huge swaths of IPs as open proxies indefinitely, and blocking user's email on the first block (this should be a last resort). What the heck is your issue? I don't have a lot of time, but I'm now going to open up an RFC - the only reason no one did it before is because it takes too much time. The Evil Spartan 19:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
That doesn't mitigate the fact that you didn't leave a single warning, or make any attempt to correct the problem, prior to your indefinite block. I would ask you to remove the block and apologize, but the editor is probably gone forever by now. But why no warnings or explanations? - it's a simple question, I'm just asking (for the third time now) why you didn't do this. Videmus Omnia Talk 03:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Wondering if you can check the summary I redid, I used the japanese phrases intentionally to reduce size and still feeling this terms should be used, plus "Chi" is a most familar snd modern term of "Qi".
"Four thousand years ago, in China, a form of Kenpo martial arts was developed, the Juken style which allow one to mimic the abilities of animals as well as reach spiritual peace. However, dissent grew among the Juken style's ten creators. Three of them believed that they should use the suffering and hatred harnessed within humans to increase their power, using their power to assume their monsterous forms, the three Kenma. The other seven believed that the strength should come from within and were forced to fight their former friends, ending the fight with a forbidden technique to seal the Kenmas' powers at the cost of losing their own human forms in the process, becoming the Kensei. Followers of the Kensei began to use the Gekijuken Beast Arts: the Juken of Justice whose sport discipline enhances the human body with the self-produced positive Chi called "Geki". It is taught by Grand Master Sha-Fu, one of the seven Kensei, using a sports goods company named "SCRTC" as a front. The followers of the Kenma practice the evil form of the Juken style known as Rinjuuken Akugata. By present time, a fallen student from the Gekijuken school named Rio takes up the Rinjuken-style, rebuilding the Rinjuu Hall with intent on world domination. Bringing other Rinjuken users back from the dead as kyonshi, he collects Rinki, Geki's polar opposite Chi, to revive the Kenma so that through them, he can become stronger. To fight the new Rinjuu Hall, Sha-Fu had been training two youths: Ran Uzaki and Retsu Fukami. Along with Jan Kandou, a wild boy raised by tigers, the Gekiranger team is formed to save the world from Rio's ambitions."
Fractyl 22:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
No, I believe I was the one who conned Infershia translation. But while GekiJuuken, Rinjuuken, etc. are easily translated into English, they are also part of the martial arts theme Gekiranger uses, as many asia martial arts styles keep their names in english-speaking contries. Furthermore, though written in kanji, the names and attacks of the Oni of Kamen Rider Hibiki are left alone as they are related to the japanese culture. I see your reasons good, but you have to remember to follow the show's theme. Fractyl 06:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

The Gekijuuken Beast Arts (激獣拳ビーストアーツ, Gekijūken Bīsuto Ātsu, Fierece Beast-Fist) is the school that represents the "Juuken of Justice" which the Gekirangers practice. It is founded by the legendary seven Kensei (拳聖, Kensei, Fist Saints, pun on "Sensei"), one of whom is mentor to the Gekirangers.
The Rinjuuken Akugata (臨獣拳アクガタ, Rinjūken Akugata, Confrontation Beast-Fist) is the school that represents the "Juuken of Evil" that gets energy from the suffering of others created by the Three Kenma (三拳魔, Sankenma, Fist Demons). The main school is known as the Rinjuu Hall (臨獣殿, Rinjūden), where all of the dead users are brought back to the world of the living. Fractyl 20:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there's been a lot of vandalism of your page from dynamic IPs. After a lot of reverting and blocking, I decided to semi-protect. I would have chosen 12 hours, except that I saw it was already fully protected from moves, and I was afraid that the expiry of the edit semi-protection would also mean expiry of the move protection.

I'm more than happy to examine the hard evidence that an IP address used by Tor is a banned user.-- Rambutan ( talk) 06:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I would like to complain of your actions, and if you don't respond suitably, I shall bring it to wider attention. All I could see was a user deleting reasonable requests from ANI with edit summaries like "rv kuntan". I reverted, obviously. When I asked what kuntan meant, he said that the Tor IP was a sock of a banned user. I said that I would continue reverting until he provided evidence. I said the same to you. When some moderately convincing evidence was left on my talkpage by another user, I stopped reverting. The reason I didn't find WP:DUCK satisfactory was that I didn't feel he behaved like a banned user, since I had never encountered the user in question. In order for the whole world to apply DUCK, we need to know what a DUCK is. I await your reply.-- Rambutan ( talk) 06:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

It seems that like a few others, (four teen AfDs??? for example), Merkey's under the special protection of Jimbo, and untouchable by Wikiprocess. I find this incredibly frustrating. I'm especially furious that Merkey's response is to apparently go off wiki and claim that I'm a 'SCOX troll'.

And THAT revelation makes me wonder why Wikipedia's bothering to waste any fuckin time dealin with an OFF-Wiki Flame war? This is absurd. Block him, and fast. Anyways, I agree.

What I mean by this is that there is an article that is in serious need of conforming to the standards that you hold dearly. You can find that article here.

(Although in his or her defense, this member is responsible for confirming that Adam Park, Tori, Kira, Bridge Carson, and Xander Bly would appear on it) I figured you have done such a good job in maintaining the quality of the Toku related articles, this should be a walk in the "Adam Park" for you.

I've unblocked him. This is ridiculous - you are far from impartial. I think Andre is right - this could have been avoided if you'd apologise. Your original block was in violation of WP:BITE and WP:BLOCK and you seem to have acknowledge it was a mistake. When we screw up we apologise, no big deal. The user wouldn't have come round here to object to your conduct had you apologised. I still think you should do so though I will ask him to stop posting to your page. Your conduct in this matter has been unbelievable. WjB scribe 22:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I do like you as an editor, but I been looking though logs and I seen many situations of WP:BITE, and the way you handled the User:Xterra1 situation is the final straw. The main reason why you passed your RFA is because you promised to stop biting the newbies, in which you did, but lately it been out of control. I ask you to step down.

While I respect your work in general, Ryu, some of these recent blocks have been troubling. I disagree that this isn't an issue. I don't want you hounded off the project, or even deadminned, but a reexamination is in order. I'm not requesting your recall at this point, but to my mind more of an answer is in order. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 23:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry Ryulong, I agree with Jaranda, Andre and The Rambling Man. You have continued to show the failings that resulted in the heavy opposition to your RfA. You bite newbies, generally don't give warnings and shoot first. You assume the very worst of new editors and the consequences are bad for the Wiki when you do so. Your failures to apologise when you have been wrong only compound this. You are highly active and most of your admin actions are correct, however the number of mistakes are way too high - many of which we will never know about because editors just give up editing the project. This a collaborative project based on a community. You are way too ready to jump to block and deletion before trying other softer options and in my opinion that can only harm the project. I had hoped given the circumstances of your RfA you would show extra caution but you have not done so and in my opinion are becoming increasingly cavalier as time has passed. If you are not willing to undertake a radical change in your conduct to address these problems, I also believe you should step down. WjB scribe 23:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I've been working on articles and some non Wikipedia things. I've apologized to Xterra1, but the IP user's constant repostings was wearing on my nerves (as were Xterra1's). I'm willing to work on my "bedside" manner.— Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I thought that it wasn't just a coincidence in the names( obviously the user made another account but slightly edited the name) but the article List of Darkwing Duck episodes they are editing.

Ahem, I noticed you reverted my edit earlier, wherein I changed the image of the Red Turbo Ranger, to one of the 10 Red Rangers of Forever Red (which couldn't be more fitting, if you ask me, but regardless). If you don't feel like using that image, fine, but at least use an image of a Red Ranger that was a bit more influential. Tommy's portrayal as the Red Turbo Ranger was arguably his least memorable form, he played a much more significant role as Zeo Ranger V - Red. And T.J. wasn't exactly the greatest Red Ranger in the world. But beyond that, the image itself, while a cool pose, isn't of very high quality; it's relatively degraded, in fact.
My point being... if you want to use a different image than the one I added, then use one of Andros, or Tommy, or something in that general area. Personally this image strikes me as perfect for that particular article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Redzeotommy.jpg It's memorable, of high quality, and so on. -- 156.34.78.91 02:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Hm, you have a good point there. But couldn't Turbo Red be taken as Tommy as well? By the way, I've been trying to track down a better quality image of the Red Turbo Ranger, it's surprisingly difficult.
Wait a minute, what the hell? Why are you reverting all of my edits? The yellow mystic force image is AWFUL. It's compeltely degraded and has the the Jetix watermark for god's sake! And not only that, but yellow rangers are typically female, so it's more suitable to have that section represented by a female yellow ranger. The green S.P.D. Ranger picture is a terrible shot as well. And the keeping Blue MMPR Ranger flies in the face of what you just said above about having different eras and rangers representing different colors. What exactly is your problem? I made no negative changes and have been nothing but polite. And yet you continue to undo all of my hard work, for NO REASON. -- 156.34.76.4 22:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm aware of what you're looking for. But the yellow mystic Ranger is no more encyclopedic than the yellow overdrive Ranger. I'm trying to beautify the pages, as well as keep them accurate. Half of these images are completely atrocious. I mean look at the image of the Alien Rangers, it's just two sentai shots pasted together, rather badly. As for the sentai shots versus PR shots, does it really matter in a lot of cases? It was merely a solo shot. It wasn't exactly like you could see sentai characters in the background drinking sake.
In addition to that, your comments are somewhat contradictory. You say you don't want the images to be alike, but then you have two MMPR era Rangers representing two separate colors (blue and white). And then you say you don't want the images to all be Tommy, but if you notice you have the Red Turbo Ranger for red (who may or may not be Tommy in that shot), the Black Dino Ranger for black, and the White MMPR Ranger for white; all of whom are Tommy.
I'm trying to fix up these articles so that they don't look visually bad. I know that's not important to you, but often when people go onto an article they'll be put off by shabby looking images. Essentially, I'm trying to catch people's eye, so that they stick around and don't just write it off as a crappy article due to poor visual representations of the subject-matter. -- 156.34.76.4 22:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Ah yes, but exactly, that was my point. What I've been trying to say is this: "Why can't it be both?". Why do we have to choose between encyclopedic and visually appealing? There are plenty of images out there that can do both of those things for an article. Which, in essence, is what I've been trying to get at all along. I'm not arguing against encyclopedic, that's a must. I'm merely saying that we can easily have the best of both worlds with little to no effort. I think a perfect example is the Tommy Oliver article; most of the images look fantastic AND they properly represent the article's source material. -- 156.34.88.130 23:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Which is actually why I went after PROO's yellow. I was looking for a yellow ranger in keeping with the Disney era image standard of that article (ala the PRMF yellow Ranger image), while also finding a ranger who was definitively female (IE: a skirt). Because as you know, many female yellow Rangers are adapted from male counterparts. My first thought was Kira/Yellow Dino Ranger, given that she has such a strong presence in the series... but given that DinoThunder is already represented by Tommy/Dino Black, I went on the hunt.
Anyways, I digress... it's actually been relatively difficult finding a higher quality image of OO yellow. The one I used earlier wasn't one I wanted to use, but it was the clearest shot I could find. I'll see what I can come up with though. -- 156.34.72.53 00:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Hm? Oh, ha, I thought it was obvious, I'm already registered. I'm Venomaru 2.0, the one who uploaded the images to begin with. I just don't log in unless I have to (for uploading images, etc etc), as it's just easier not to. I was mistaken in uploading said images though. I had assumed that you could upload any given image to replace a previous one. For example, I thought that the picture of S.P.D. Green could be replaced with any given image of of the same character, as long as it was, as mentioned, of that same character. -- 156.34.72.53 00:59, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Alright, the Yellow Ranger image is up, I found a new Turbo image for Tommy and T.J., and I put up the Red Space Ranger in place of the Red Turbo Ranger on the Red Ranger article. -- Venomaru 2.0 15:48, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Well we already have Andros, Billy, (Sky, while cool, isn't exactly an ideal candidate for legendary blue ranger), black is Tommy, white is Tommy, and I'm against putting Taylor in. Not because I have anything against the character, but because her costume isn't exactly feminine. The reason I chose Ronny is twofold: she has a feminine yellow ranger outfit, and because she's Disney era. We don't want to throw off the Disney to Saban ratio otherwise the articles might come off as somewhat Saban-biased.
If you want the honest truth, as much as I love Tommy and DinoThunder, I think Kira/Dino Yellow would be a much better choice for Yellow Ranger. She has a feminine costume and is Disney-era, not only that, but she has quite a fan following and has appeared in quite a few episodes (the entirety of PRDT, both S.P.D. team-up episodes, and both Once A Ranger episodes). But that would mean we'd need a new character for the Black Ranger article, which I'm fine with, but it all comes down to who. MMPR Black Zack/Adam is the obvious choice. But we already have Billy/MMPR Blue in the Blue Ranger article.
In closing, we get rid of Galaxy Pink in the Pink Ranger article, replace her with a nice quality image of Jen (I'm still searching), we replace OO Yellow with PRDT Yellow, PRDT Black with MMPR Black, and find a new Blue Ranger for Blue. Oh, and as for the Green Ranger, I'm with Bridge or Xander. I think Bridge is slightly more popular, but it doesn't throw off the Saban/Disney ratio, so either choice is fine. -- 156.34.65.22 01:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Why can't I add, notes and trivias to an episode that already aired. Countless of other episodes and team-ups episodes, have in them trivia, notes, and fun facts, about confirmed already seen facts? ( DaPuertorican 15:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC))
As I can read on the WP:ATRIV, it is accepted to add notes and facts, it isn't accepted if the facts are invented, rumors or speculation. The facts I wrote in, are of an episode that already aired, and showed all this information to be true.
I just think, since this is a very important episode of the Power Ranger Saga, a 15th years anniversary episode, it should offer more information than the one already there. Just like the article on the episode Forever Red, even though it doesn't contains the words "TRIVIA" or "NOTES", it clearly have them in the words of "CRITICISM" and "POWER RANGER REFERENCES".( DaPuertorican 23:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC))
Ok, then... I'll try to look for the notes and facts from trusted sites, and then reference them before adding them again, and I'll look for reference before posting next time. ( DaPuertorican 18:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC))

You can't translate "ゴリ" into "Gorilla", you only get "Gori". Plus it's Kata(like episode titles), so it's OK as it is. It also adds proof that Gekiwaza follow a "2-word" pattern like the episodes(except the 1st attacks by GekiPenguin & GekiGazelle). You can't count it just because Jan uses "Gori" to refer to "Gorilla". But I will add that bit of info to Gorrie's profile. Fractyl 02:39, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I saw your 48-hour block of this user (his talk seems to be on my watchlist, though I honestly don't remember why). This block is troubling in that there appears to have been no discussions with or warning of any kind given to this established user before the block. Am I missing something or might it have been better to discuss this user's image-tagging activities and your concerns about them with the user before blocking? Regards, Newyorkbrad 03:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
The block was completely inappropriate. About harassment:

Ryulong, you blocked half an hour after Videmus Omnia stopped editing, so the block can be considered punitive rather than preventative. — Kurykh 04:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
(copied from VO's talk page)
All of the people who work on image tagging (including me) will often find a group of images that merit investigation and will go through them to check for errors or violations. When one user has uploaded several violating images in the past, it is perfectly acceptable to go through that user's logs and look for other violations. That's not Wikistalking. Wikipedia:Harassment specifically condones this: "This [wikistalking] does not include checking up on an editor to fix errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, nor does it mean reading a user's contribution log; those logs are public for good reason. Using the edit history of users to correct related problems on multiple articles is part of the recommended practices both for Recent changes patrol (RCP) and WikiProject Spam. The important part is the disruption - disruption is considered harmful. Wikistalking is the act of following another user around in order to harass them." I don't see any evidence that VO was intending to harass either user. The tagging that VO did seems to have been factually correct. He has spent a lot of time over the past few weeks tagging images like this; it certainly hasn't been targeting a few users, when seen as a whole.
As for the many image-deletion notices, VO uses a tool (which I also use) that automatically notifies the uploader when an image is tagged for deletion. When I see that I have left many notices on a user's talk page, I finish all my tagging, and then I go back and compact the warnings -- simply saying something like "This applies to the following images as well. . ." It seems likely that VO was planning to do this. How would you know without asking him?
This sort of a block without prior discussion was unwarranted and unacceptable. I'm glad you chose to reverse the block. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 04:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

You have once again blocked a good faith user without the slightest bit of warning: User:Activist4TRUTHinMEDICINE . While his username may be a problem (as was his editing history), you didn't warn him or anything. And this is scant days after people had just said that you are >< close to pushing it far enough for an admin recall, and you agreed to start warning people. Not only that, but you're continuing to block huge swaths of IPs as open proxies indefinitely, and blocking user's email on the first block (this should be a last resort). What the heck is your issue? I don't have a lot of time, but I'm now going to open up an RFC - the only reason no one did it before is because it takes too much time.

That doesn't mitigate the fact that you didn't leave a single warning, or make any attempt to correct the problem, prior to your indefinite block. I would ask you to remove the block and apologize, but the editor is probably gone forever by now. But why no warnings or explanations? - it's a simple question, I'm just asking (for the third time now) why you didn't do this. Videmus Omnia Talk 03:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Wondering if you can check the summary I redid, I used the japanese phrases intentionally to reduce size and still feeling this terms should be used, plus "Chi" is a most familar snd modern term of "Qi".
"Four thousand years ago, in China, a form of Kenpo martial arts was developed, the Juken style which allow one to mimic the abilities of animals as well as reach spiritual peace. However, dissent grew among the Juken style's ten creators. Three of them believed that they should use the suffering and hatred harnessed within humans to increase their power, using their power to assume their monsterous forms, the three Kenma. The other seven believed that the strength should come from within and were forced to fight their former friends, ending the fight with a forbidden technique to seal the Kenmas' powers at the cost of losing their own human forms in the process, becoming the Kensei. Followers of the Kensei began to use the Gekijuken Beast Arts: the Juken of Justice whose sport discipline enhances the human body with the self-produced positive Chi called "Geki". It is taught by Grand Master Sha-Fu, one of the seven Kensei, using a sports goods company named "SCRTC" as a front. The followers of the Kenma practice the evil form of the Juken style known as Rinjuuken Akugata. By present time, a fallen student from the Gekijuken school named Rio takes up the Rinjuken-style, rebuilding the Rinjuu Hall with intent on world domination. Bringing other Rinjuken users back from the dead as kyonshi, he collects Rinki, Geki's polar opposite Chi, to revive the Kenma so that through them, he can become stronger. To fight the new Rinjuu Hall, Sha-Fu had been training two youths: Ran Uzaki and Retsu Fukami. Along with Jan Kandou, a wild boy raised by tigers, the Gekiranger team is formed to save the world from Rio's ambitions."
Fractyl 22:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
No, I believe I was the one who conned Infershia translation. But while GekiJuuken, Rinjuuken, etc. are easily translated into English, they are also part of the martial arts theme Gekiranger uses, as many asia martial arts styles keep their names in english-speaking contries. Furthermore, though written in kanji, the names and attacks of the Oni of Kamen Rider Hibiki are left alone as they are related to the japanese culture. I see your reasons good, but you have to remember to follow the show's theme. Fractyl 06:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
