The years have been commented out because of a talk page debate. 1075 is quite arbitrary, if we refer to the Hungarians establishing their rule there 1003 would be correct (see article Transylvania in
Britannica).
But as this is a historical region, probably the infobox should simply be moved to
Principality of Transylvania (again see talk page proposal on this).

Hi, I see recently you reversed my redirects, ie ESPN Classic (US) back to ESPN Classic, and all the others that were similar. These articles need to have "(US)" in brackets to differentiate between the other articles that have a similar name, ie there is a ESPN Classic (Canada) and ESPN Classic (UK) article as well so ESPN Classic needs to be called ESPN Classic (US) to let the reader know off the bat that this article is about the US channel and not from another country. All other articles are done like this, just because it is an article about a American channel doesn't mean that it is exempt from this and that it is given preference over the others. Like i said, all others do this, so the American channel articles should be done like this as well. musimax. ( talk) 18:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
This user has requested unblocking on unblock-en-l and I can find no record of any evidence pertaining to the block reason. Is there any discussion you can link me to on this? -- Chris (talk) 19:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Per WP:DRC i dont think its necessary for that to remain on my talk page after the block has ended. I actually told FT2 and he stated i could remove it even when the block was actually in place. Its always going to be on my log and my talk page history, its just not necessary for it to remain on the actual talk page. I guess different admins have differing opinions but im going to remove it and i think you should get a second opinion before re-adding it.

According to the recent edit in the Fangire article, I'm baffled of the fact that Shinji Takeuchi's name is written as "竹内伸二" other than "竹内 伸二". I mean, most names in Japanese have a space between the surname and forename like most of the other humans in that article. Can you explain this? -- Burai ( talk) 11:31, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi - You asked to be contacted on your talk page. The anon user has again changed the caption for Brent Corrigan. [1]. Also another unilateral comment on the talk page. [2]. I suggest semi protection for a while, since he will just get another dynamic IP address. Thanks. — Becksguy ( talk) 17:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Do edits like this mean you consider the Main Page to be an exception to WP:R2D? Only the featured article link seems to be consistently used more often than the 10,000 statistic at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups/About fixing redirects (see http://stats.grok.se for usage statistics), and anyway the Main Page is a good place to set an example for the rest of Wikipedia.

For the past several days, four anon IPs, 124.104.92.149 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.91.186 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.84.107 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), and 124.104.92.152 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) have been vandalizing pages and are possibly the same person. Each of these addresses attacked a lot of articles lately, with several of the common denominators (not by all) are as follows, leading me to suspect that these four are the same person:
In fact, there is some range hopping going on with vandal edits by 124.104.80.217 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.89.247 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.80.171 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.88.20 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.81.175 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.94.45 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 124.104.87.102 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) and many others on this range. Again, I suspect that this is the same person who used these address on his vandalism.
Can a rangeblock be applied on this case because this vandal? Whoever he is, has gone chronic. Or do you have any other thoughts? - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 16:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
(I've posted this on WP:AN/I, but it seems no one has responded to it. When I asked User: Nihonjoe about it, he told me to file a report on WP:ABUSE, which I did. Is a rangeblock necessary, or should I just wait for the result of the report I made about these vandals? - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 09:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC))
The vandal has struck, this time as 124.104.93.156 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). Does this confirm your suspicion? You haven't imposed the rangeblock yet. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 10:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Update: The vandal's back! This time, it is under 124.104.82.186 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) and his attack occured a day after the block expired. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 13:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for reporting this. I'm happy to blacklist but I need some help first -- I left some questions in response to your report.

Do you mind taking a look at the issue of handling NPOV, 3RR, civility in discussion, etc. at Template:Asia topic and Template talk:Asia topic? Readin ( talk) 16:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, would you take a look at that user's unblock request? He's pledged not to spam any more. Thanks, Sandstein 08:46, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Ryulong - I saw your indef block of 66.96.243.12 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) as an open proxy - I don't really care about the user, they seemed nonconstructive, but I was curious about the open proxy aspect - the IP goes back to shrikehosting.com, which would appear to be a reputable company. Just to satisfy my curiosity, can you tell me how determined they had an open proxy problem? Thanks! Kelly hi! 15:46, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Ccashwell ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), before unblocking you might also want to note that he edited some of the same porn articles as 96.241.62.121 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), which you might also want to block if he continues to use it as a sock, and also that at least one of his edits was not merely a spam link, but an intentionally misleading "stealth" link that modified the routine external link to the web site of the article subject ( PornoTube) to maintain the same appearance but was actually a link to his own competing porn site. That's a little more serious than your average link spammer. Cheers, MCB ( talk) 17:31, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'm unaware of a copy from a free source being a reason to delete, let alone speedy. Could you clarify or point me to the policy in question? Thanks. Hobit ( talk) 01:49, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I thought you might be interested in knowing you have a new impersonator, User:Ryulxng. - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 20:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey Ryulong, I was hoping you could help with a problem over at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Llamadog903. While the accused sock, User:Eatpeaches, does not seem to have any connection to Llamadog, there was something that I found worrying: Special:Contributions/Eatpeaches shows that their first edit was related to a renaming of a Kate McAuliffe account. I'm not 100% familiar with all the details of this case; however, I saw that you blocked at least one of the Kate McAuliffe names back in March of 2007, and thought perhaps you could lend a hand, or provide some info. Thanks! Glass Cobra 21:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me, but what language is "UNDERGROUND" and "happily ever after" in? If you answered English, than you are right. You have to use the conventions in English, even if it's a Japanese song. Plus, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#All caps where it states Avoid writing in all capitals. Further, this is the same reason we don't have NARUTO but we do have Naruto. Moreover, for the non-caps, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Mixed or non-capitalization: For trademarks that are given in mixed or non-capitalization by their owners (such as adidas), follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules. As per the example, we write Adidas, not "adidas". -- 十 八 01:18, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
