Looks like someone hasn't read WP:V or WP:NPOV. using TW)
Yes i have, i have been here for many years and have kept up to date with them all of them, also please do not use twinkle on non vandalism edits.-- The Last Uchiha 13:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
FYI- You may or may not know about Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/1UP Reference Update Task Force, which was set up because 1UP.com altered the website setup and some content. Anyway, I just check DoS, and it was for the most part fine. The only thing I found was the last sentence in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow#Setting wasn't really supported by the source anymore. The text is still there, but I commented out it and the ref tag in case you know of another source you can use. Just thought you'd like to know. ( Guyinblack25 talk 15:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC))

I'm curious as to your thoughts on if and when I should run again for adminship? As I said before, the adminship was both a great place to see what I have been doing right here at Wikipedia, and also a wake-up call to see what I need to improve on. Thankfully, mainspace edits and civility were both not a concern; most of the concern lied with my understanding of policy. Fortunately, that is something that is not embedded deep within me and can be learned on and improved on, and of course, that's what I have been doing since the RFA ended. So, I'm curious as to whether or not I should run again? The mop would certainly be useful when I am content-editing — something I plan on being my main focus during my 'career' here at Wikipedia. I don't think I will see myself being a vandal-fighter; over long periods of time here, I will probably always be contributing content to Wikipedia, so admin tools will be secondary to real content. The tools would definitely be useful when they are needed, though — especially for non-controversial, maintenance work. I'd like my next RFA to focus on my content-building above everything else, and that's what I will be focusing on in my edits. Regarding the when for a future RFA, it'd preferably be this year :) But more specifically, the summer would be ideal, because that's when I would have the most free time to spare for the stress of an RFA. Any other time during the year would be extremely inconvenient — I may also be AFK for the last few months of the summer, meaning from July to September or so. Your thoughts? Cheers!

Congratulations! A list you have been involved with was selected a WP:LOTD for May. You may want to add the {{ ListoftheDayheader}} or {{ ListoftheDaylayout}} templates somewhere in your userspace. Other template options are at User:TonyTheTiger/List of the Day/templates. Your list will appear as WP:LOTD twice. If you have any date preferences in May let me know by April 25th.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTD) 19:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Fellow member, can you move the article? It's pretty much the last Dragon Ball page, under the scope of WP:WPDB, titled under the "wrong" Japanese-translated name. See this discussion. BTW, I left a reply here in case you missed it. Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 05:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I should give you another barnstar for providing all the diffs :) Thanks. And of course:

With my poor "English-condensing" abilities I have been cleaning Shikamaru Nara in order to leave as good as Orochimaru (Naruto) or Gaara. However, the article would need some conception improvement and a grammar check to reception. i think that Naruto artbook may have some conception info of the character. Cheers.-- Tintor2 ( talk) 14:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
And how could I forgot? the lead needs to be increased also ^_^ Tintor2 ( talk) 14:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for bothering but could I know if you are working there or you are kind of busy? Regards.-- Tintor2 ( talk) 17:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I am finding now a days more reception of Itachi Uchiha and updating it in the draft. See "For me, Naruto has always been one of those shows that I'll watch on TV simply because it's on, but I don't know that I've ever felt a burning desire to pull out a DVD and rewatch an episode. However, these episodes are still amongst what I think are the “good” episodes, so if you're going to buy any Naruto boxset, this should be one of them. The villains are still exciting and frighteningly evil, and these episodes are still in the stage where plenty of character development is still happening. Sasuke's brother is really interesting, if only just for what his appearance reveals about Sasuke's past." [1]-- Tintor2 ( talk) 17:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey. In the Goryomaru AfD you said "Judging from the number of these characters at WP:ANIME/D, the InuYasha articles could use a serious cleanup effort." Indeed it could if Template:InuYasha characters and Template:InuYasha are any indication. It seems like some of our biggest series, and some of our most potential FA/FT ones, are in the worse shape. InuYasha, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc. Unfortunately, the parts I've tried to help clean up with seem to often be met with the main editors who dig in their heels about the need to follow MoS and Wikipedia guidelines. It would be good if the clean up task force discussed in the project gets formed and maybe revives the collaboration efforts as those big articles definitely need more than one editor for progress to get made.

Thanks Sephiroth, for your gracious editor review. :) Being new still, in some respects, I really didn't expect a review so positive. Also, in the past I have hesitated to install anti-vandal tools like TW and HUGGLE because I either didn't have the things necessary (like Opera or Firefox for Twinkle), or my operating system's too old to support Huggle; I have a ten year old computer running Windows Millenium Edition, unfortunately. I'm currently trying to install Lupin's tool, but I'm experiencing some difficulty, still. But, anyhow, thank you so much, and I'll be sure to keep up what I'm doing. :D Mizu onna sango15/ 水女珊瑚15 01:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Then could you kindly ask that she strike out the unnecessary and unconstructive remarks about me? Thank you. Sincerely, -- Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles Tally-ho! 18:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
User:Caribbean H.Q. never finished all of these, and I gave another sysop a list of other redirects but (s)he never responded. So, I was thinking you'd like to scan through both and get rid of the unneeded ones? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 03:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Do you have any thoughts on the situation with Abtract, part of which is documented on my talk page? He's showing a very bad tendency to edit war against consensus, usually doing 3-4 reverts then "stopping." He's seemed to avoid any blocks from the generosity of other editors in not reporting him and trying to work with him because he keeps promising to change. He's also be engaging in some incivility, particularly with User:Sesshomaru whom he has accused of stalking him. I've tried to talk to him, Redrocket has tried to talk to him, and LessHeard vanU attempted to mediate and correct as well. His responses are not showing any indication that he is going to change his behavior at all. I'm thinking the next step would be an WP:RFC/USER. Would that be correct?

First off, about Akatsuki. I know it was merge by consensus, but what bothered me was the fact that you did not even put in a merge tag before doing so. (which at least notifies other users who might come in to this and have their own say on the matter. Who the heck is gonna know that this was taking place on Akatsuki's Talk page?) So, in a way, that was merge without warning, which I believe is improper on this site, don't you think? ZeroGiga ( talk) 04:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm looking to become an admin, but I feel like I've still got a long way to go before I'm ready. I noticed on the coach status page that you have one student already but that you could take on one more. I was wondering if you would coach me? I came to you instead of placing my name on the list because I've worked with you on articles before. Please let me know what your response is when you have the chance. Thank you. -- Eruhildo ( talk) 22:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
