Hey there, I recently posted an edit to the "Gai Daigoji" page involving the band Gai Daigoji. This was the first time I've tried to edit on Wiki. I saw that you said "rv. no evidence band meets WP"MUSIC. myspace doesn't help..." I'm not sure what I did wrong and I was wondering if maybe you could explain so I could correct it. Thanks.
Hi! This is Icarus!, being non-Wiki (I'm not logged in...), saying thanx for the work on the Discordianism page! Keep it up! 24.176.20.60 16:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Gwern, Thanks for undoing my edit. I had misread the sentence so I got it wrong. Fg2 10:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm a Wikipedian from zh:. Recently I'm trying to do some improvements to the NGE article in zh. Long ago I knew the Napier article When the Machines Stop: Fantasy, Reality, and Terminal Identity in Neon Genesis Evangelion and Serial Experiments Lain. And I think a anime article really needs some critical POV, so Napier's article would be very helpful for improving the quality of the Chinese article, and I also value this very much. But I can't find the article anywhere with any online method. Finally, I find you have a scan copy. So could you please send me a copy? (sicaral-gmail-com) Of course I know the copyright issue. Thank you! Sicaral 13:08, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. This is in reply to your comment on my edit of the Symbolics page. Yes, my change is "unsourced"; unfortunately I don't know of any "source" for this. The only written source I know of is Stallman's book, but that's his own account of what happened, and just because he found a publisher and wrote his version in a book does not make it true. The actual facts are that only 3 or 4 of the Symbolics founders were employed by the AI lab (4 if you count Dave Moon who was half-time). I don't know why the original author particularly referred to Richard and Marvin; if you count Marvin as a "hacker" then there were dozens of hackers who did not leave the AI lab. Symbolics's founders came from many different places, including Lawrence Livermore Labs, the IIASA in Vienna, the MIT Lab for Computer Science, Honeywell LISD, and so on. I'm sorry about the text not flowing -- I was trying to make as minimal an edit as I could that would be consistent with the facts, because I thought that would be appropriate Wikipedia etiquette. I'm very new at Wikipedia and regret if I have done anything wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielWeinreb ( talk • contribs) 13:27, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
P.S. I would be happy to go into more detail about exactly who the founders were and where they came from, to the best of my recollection, but I thought that would be too much information and would really not fit in the flow. If there were some way to do footnotes (probably there is, and I don't know it) I guess it might make sense to put in a footnote with an enumerated list of the founders. If I can remember them all. I actually think there were about 20 people who were considered "founders" in that they received founder stock, which was the criterion for the use of the word "founder" within Symbolics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielWeinreb ( talk • contribs) 13:32, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
It's actually extremely common practice, for the simple reason that they tend to look like complete crap when rendered, if the template is smooshed into the foregoing text, navboxes, etc. On a more general note, wiki comments aren't an especially good substitute for talk pages.

I'm not sure about your ebooks but in both editions of the book that I have (ISBN: 0-441-17271-7 mass market paperback from 1990 and 0-441-00590-X hardcover from 1999) the scene between Paul and Reverend Mother Mohiam on roughly page 11 or 12 goes as follows:
"'Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind," Paul quoted. "Right out of the Butlerian Jihad and the Orange Catholic Bible," she said. "But what the O.C. Bible should've said is: 'Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind.'
I have read the book 11 times as well as all the sequels and the prequels other than Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune. I don't appreciate your condescension. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppuccio ( talk • contribs) 00:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

There is no point in writing bios on academics unless you indicate why they are important--at least with the current positions and major publications.

Hi, Gwern. Thanks for trying to fix the categories for the article on Hakuin Ekaku, but that's not how categories work. When you want to add someone to a category, for instance, you should use their name, such as "[[Category:Buddhist philosophers|Hakuin Ekaku]]". This will cause their name to appear in the list of articles for that category. (Yes, it's different from the way links normally work). Hope this helps. -- ubiquity 22:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

Replacing a dead link with a failed internet wayback machine dead link is "exceptionally lazy" as you would say. I've removed the section once again. Not only is there no source but the whole paragraph represents nothing but speculation "If the collect had survived to the early 700s." it did not so why have this in the article? Thanks Rastov 05:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Yesterday it was hitting to a 404 from two different computers. Regardless the paragraph is without merit as it talks about where the collection would have gone had it not been destroyed. If it clearly says the Al-Azhar collection contains no alexandrian texts, then why is it included in the article "Library of Alexandria"? Rastov 19:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello.
Indeed there are some source that say the birthyear of Fuyutsuki is 1955, but the newest official book "THE ESSENTIAL EVANGELION CHRONICLE SIDE A" ( ISBN 978-4789770187, We've Inc. & Sony Magazines Inc. Japan, 2007/10) declares the Fuyutsuki's age is unknown. Therefore we must not write the birth of Fuyutsuki in NGE's timetable. Rider of Midland ( talk) 07:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
No, it has been said on the GAINAX's official site that Fuyutsuki is elder about 10 years old than Gendo Ikari (48), but there had been no official data which showed the birthyear of Fuyutsuki by the publishment of "Evangelion Chronicle" in 2007. After that, "THE ESSENTIAL EVANGELION CHRONICLE SIDE A" reconfirms that Fuyutsuki's age is unknown. We should be subject to the Newest statements.

I'm one of the folks working on upgrading the manga article. You mention wanting more pictures -- how I wish! But there are two formidable problems. One is copyright -- we need fair use rationales for all such images, and the number we can insert is sharply limited by Wiki procedures. Second is sheer size -- images suck up bandwidth like crazy, and the article is already long. If I had my way, I'd fill the whole article with pictures -- we're on the same wavelength about that! But I don't see how we can do it. In any event, thanks very much for your comments, and we will take them to heart as we continue to work on the article.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Xmonad meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xmonad. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article.
One of your comments was that there was no section on shonen manga. We just added it, settling one of the major issues (to both of us, it seems). Thanks. Timothy Perper ( talk) 23:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Past-master-book-cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 18:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Finger tree, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thank you for uploading Image:Past-master-book-cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 16:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I was quite disappointed to notice your drive-by removal of an image from the Jim Bell article.

I am not sure to contact regarding this matter, but I saw that you are a pretty active wikipedian and so I thought I would ask. I am very tired of the crappy search engine that wikipedia uses. Is there not some way to mimic google's search where if you misspell something it asks you "Did you mean _____?" or displays close matches to what you are trying to say? If I am unsure how to spell something, it come back blank and then I search google, it finds what I mean, I click yes and then the wikipedia entry comes up on google. Is there anything that can be done?

I was doing something like this last night (instead of my homework!), and found my way to your userpage, where I was immediately interested by the words "you", "can", "help", "wget" and "upload.py", and the meaning imposed by their relative positions to each other. So, I hacked up a bash script before I went to bed, and I've got 105 of the 148 downloaded. From what testing I did, uploading them all's going to be a bear, especially since the one I tested couldn't really be optimized at all by optipng, so they're all going to be rather large. They should be showing up here, if you're interested. I'll probably need you to go through and give 'em licenses, since I don't know squat about the source. Cheers!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Piotr Woźniak (researcher), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Piotr Woźniak. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Folken keeps forcing his edits on the Rebuild of Eva 1.0 article and I keep reverting them to my version, and basically I feel that Folken is ordering us around even though he has no authority to do so because he is not an admin, and he didn't do much to help setting up these articles, only nitpicking on things we wrote. Be that as it may, I feel the only way to stop him from bullying us around is to make a formal vote at Talk:Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone#Summary length for consensus. Heck, vote against my position if you feel that is the proper course of action; the point is that Folken does not have the authority to single-handedly constantly be laying down decisions like this and such decisions should be made, I feel, with the support of the whole project. -- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici ( talk) 23:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Re: recent change of verb in the Project Gutenberg article.
Interesting point. However, I have seen in the Distributed Proofreaders forums a number of times, variations on the idea that what is done there is more like transcription than proofreading.
For example here's a quote from [4]
I find this definition of proofread:
The usual idea there is that in proofreading, you are, using your own knowledge and experience of what is correct, making changes to a not-yet-final copy of a text. On the other hand, at distributed Proofreaders, the end-goal is to produce a digital transcription of a physical book, with the focus nearly always being "match the original page image."
I find a number of possible definition of the verb "transcribe"
Often, a key point there is movement from one media to another. This does seem apt for describing what is done at DP.

I would like to kindly ask that you refrain from simply removing closed discussions from this page in the future, without first archiving them to our deletion archive. I regularly archive closed discussions myself, so if you don't want to involve yourself in the archival process, you can just leave closed discussions on the page, and I should be along within a day (or two, on weekends) to archive them myself.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Shadowknight, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I'm still not sure exactly what you're looking for. As I (and a number of other people) said in the talk page after you marked the article as non-notable, either all window managers are notable or none are. With the exception of the glitz of compiz/beryl, none of them have the amount of formal mention that you seem to be looking for. If you want to delete all of the window manager articles from Wikipedia, I guess you could try, although that seems like a markedly non-constructive use of your time. But singling out one?

i disagree with spliting the article of nge anime and manga. of course they would have different people owrking on the manga then on the anime but it still retains to the series. Also the manga has very low information and has practically the same information the anime has but a little more detailed. Bread Ninja ( talk) 16:14, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
EXACTLY! now your thinking like a true contributor. But of course not everything should merge. just most of the articles out there. Like neon genesis evangelion spin offs and doujinshi and spin off games that hold no real importance to the series (Ayanami Raising Project • Shinji Ikari Raising Project • Iron Maiden (2nd) • Neon Genesis Evangelion • Shinji and Good Friends • Evangelion 2 • Battle Orchestra) should be removed and briefly mentioned. The movie should have it's own article since it holds nobility, but the manga deserves to be in the anime.
anyways publishing history? bibliography? it's nothing but simple wording. bibliography is just another way saying list of volumes without chapters. publishing history and critical success? basically reception with trivial information. these articles look like work of a fan. Some of the information is unnecessary. Look at the Rozen Maiden article and the Blood+ article. they are written in summary and dont take up most of the space over one plot or inspiration.
Also we should remove the neon genesis evanlion logo and add the DVD cover OR the manga first volume. Highly suggest manga first volume, since it was the first promotional item that released from the series (if we agree to merge the articles).
Now let's focus on the big problems, the anime article needs a lot of clean up. too much trivial information. We should re-summaries/delete Origin and production,Inspiration and symbolism, Psychology and psychoanalytic theory, Religion, Fiction and philosophy, Translation notes on the title, Further reading. I highly suggest we delete Further reading, Religion, and inspiration and symbolism and references to other media. the article itself is to give a brief explanation about the series (which has turned into separate articles), it's not suppose to explain every little theory, assumption and notes unless it affects the series itself. end of evangelion description is far too long. there's already a separate article so there's no need for a summary as long as the plot.
And there's on other thing.....timeline of NGE? what is that suppose to be? just an article with a timeline? that shouldn't even exist in Wikipedia. Every summary, plot, description should be revised and summarized to 200-500 words.
this is what an article of anime/manga series should look like
-Series description name, when it was serialized, small description of the series.
-Plot
-characters
-Production
-other media
-Reception
now for the side articles. Side articles to support the main article.
-list of 'title' chapters
an article showing the list of volumes and chapters
-list of 'title' episodes
an article showing the list of episodes (this already seems to be done so no worries here)
-list of 'title' characters
not really important since it is already made)
-Movie articles
article about a movie based off the main series. If the movie hit a certain reception and had obtain nobility, then it may be allowed to exist as a separate article but with a small description added in the main article (under 'other media')
Any other article out there should not exist.

No worries. :) To be a bit more clear about why I find Evangelion particularly tiring, I first watched Evangelion when I was far too young to appreciate it. It was sprung on me by my older brother, I was expecting something far more conventional and cheerful, and I retain an antipathy. I watched episodes 1 through 26 once, tried to read vol 1 of Angelic Days years later (and failed dismally), and I have not delved further into Evangelion's canon. However, I think that most of the Evangelion suite of articles are likely to be notable, if one can find the sources to prove that. Is there any particular reasoning why Fujie and Manabu Tsuribe meet WP:RS? Being able to prove that they do would help enormously. -- Malkinann ( talk) 01:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Re these 2 edits: Well as far as I can make out, so far there are only two of them. Therefore, I don't think they would count as a "tetralogy", as the third and fourth don't yet exist. Also, as per WP:NCF, anything other that a "trilogy", should be referred to as a "series". Is there any reason why you need these to be called "tetralogy"? What's wrong with "series"? - good old plain english. Rob Sinden ( talk) 14:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, I dislike 'series' because that sounds so indefinite. Inuyasha or Dragon Ball movies, these are series - just one movie after another, with no particular connection, done as profitable. It conveys a sense of haphazardness, that these individual works are connected only by historical accidents like their creators, or by being set in similar fictional universes, etc.
Rebuild, on the other hand, is guaranteed to finish out all 4 planned movies (since Eva is and always has been ridiculously popular/profitable), and I believe SNOW says that things that are essentially guaranteed are not considered covered under it. Further, the works form a relative artistic unity: they're going to cover the basic arcs of the TV anime and redo the ending again. Like Lord of the Rings, you'll be able to sit down and watch a full story arc, from the first time Shinji shows up to NERV to the aftermath of Third Impact (whatever that's like in this version). If 'tetralogy' is more accurate than 'series', why not use it? WP:NCF says "When trilogies are often referred to as such by outside sources, their articles may be titled Series name trilogy."; I believe my Google link (and Wikipedia's articles) show that 'tetralogy' is commonly used for Rebuild.
Now, using 'intention' inserts more uncertainty than is truly there. The tetralogy will be made. There's no doubt about that. But unless I've managed to convince you, I'm not going to object, since it's not that important. -- Gwern (contribs) 15:51, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

to importScript("User:EpochFail/HAPPI_test.js")
.Once we get this feature worked out and I merge the change to HAPPI.js

And this doesnt apply to just "quotes" either Still i also think WP:INDISCRIMINATE also applies to what i talked about in th discussions. Bread Ninja ( talk) 01:13, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
that's because i'm mainly talking to a baised bunch of fans. believing every piece of information is important no matter how unnecessarty it is. INDISCRIMINATE is basically supporting. i'm tired of you treat me like crap and i know you dont care. but honestly this is between two WP: people! you just don't but in! if you want to discuss it to bring it to mine! or aask someone permission to join!
INDISCRIMINATE talks about info even if they have reliable sources or verifiable. the list of posssible multiple itnerpretations can fall in plot, and maybe statistics depending on how it's viewed . WP:INDISCRIMINATE is a substitute. the information rather is unnecessary. I'm going to call it "fan-info" for now. small tiny pieces of info that really aren't necessary to be kept. even if they are all together in one list. it's just as trivial, not necessary in anyway. doesn't help, it confuses readers (if it confused me imagine first time readers) and it doesn't connect to the paragraph as well.
that's also a format most NGE articles are taking, in forms of list which is not the best choice. Keeping info for the sake of promoting each piece (which really isn't)
there are major problem with it and you know it. like i said in the past, it's either adding every single piece of religious reference ever to appear in NGE or none at all or use one as an example to represent all. Either way, info is not necessary. i know your a fan, and would like to keep as much as you like, so am i. but even i know when something is not necessary at all to be added or when there is.
yes, religious reference in general is significant to the story, but not every single one individually are more significant than the other. it is fancruft to believe one or a small group of them are more important than the others or to list the only few that have. that's why i said either all or none or one as an example to represent all. Also none of these religious references were confirmed within NGE universe. they are all someone's belief. while the creators denied it and said had multiple interpretations. the list also does not help with
WP:NPOV
after that, it all went down to religion being significant in general so it must be ok to list in general. the main problem with contributors in NGE whether it's negative or not, is that no one is proposing enough, or when someone does, it's either support or deny, there's no room for adding a new ideas to move things alone. All of you just deny, or when there is support, hardly anything is done. for example when malkinann proposed all the game articles to be merged, was anything done? same for my other recent propositions. for now i wont use "fancruft" and use something much more specific like WP:LISTCRUFT which is far more specific and might be the sole problem with some NGE articles. for instance Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days which also falls in WP:INDISCRIMINATE and Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone Original Sound Track and of course Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime) and by NGE anime i don't mean just the list of religious references although that is one of the issues.
Also the list itself is merely talkinga bout areas where people have made assumptions rather a list of religious references that were explained with in the anime Bread Ninja ( talk) 23:13, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

When adding links to material on an external site, as you did to
Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime), please ensure that the external site is not
violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as
YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 03:04, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

There's hardly any more or less evidence as to the number of Angels being intentional than just about any other religious symbol the series, and regardless of what other ideas were discussed or pursued in other iterations, we have to look at the fact that they ended up going with eighteen Angels, which IS a significant number. I don't think it's unreasonable to point out on the Evangelion pages that eighteen is a number of symbolic significance and let the reader draw their own conclusions, which is what I did.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

"This "sir, yes sir" business, which would probably sound like horseshit to any civilian in his right mind, makes sense to Shaftoe and to the officers in a deep and important way. Like a lot of others, Shaftoe had trouble with military etiquette at first. He soaked up quite a bit of it growing up in a military family, but living the life was a different matter. Having now experienced all the phases of military existence except for the terminal ones (violent death, court-martial, retirement), he has come to understand the culture for what it is: a system of etiquette within which it becomes possible for groups of men to live together for years, travel to the ends of the earth, and do all kinds of incredibly weird shit without killing each other or completely losing their minds in the process. The extreme formality with which he addresses these officers carries an important subtext: your problem, sir, is deciding what you want me to do, and my problem, sir, is doing it. My gung-ho posture says that once you give the order I'm not going to bother you with any of the details--and your half of the bargain is you had better stay on your side of the line, sir, and not bother me with any of the chickenshit politics that you have to deal with for a living. The implied responsibility placed upon the officer's shoulders by the subordinate's unhesitating willingness to follow orders is a withering burden to any officer with half a brain, and Shaftoe has more than once seen seasoned noncoms reduce green lieutenants to quivering blobs simply by standing before them and agreeing, cheerfully, to carry out their orders."

Quotes are valid in general, but used to a limit. Well for one obvious reason is, they are un encyclopedic, they disrupt the feel the encyclopedic style of wikipedia if they are used too much. Quotes aren't meant to dominate the article they are only there if they've been recognized overtime. Also they are not suppose to be the information themselves, they are merely to help.
let me give two examples of quotes used. Anno's personal biography describes this period:
^^ this could easily be a summary rather than a quote. ALl of it could. Another example is this one:
It's strange that 'Evangelion' has become such a hit - all the characters are so sick!
^^this one is just sitting there. Not really much reason why it has to be in a quote.
Quotes need to be given when the words have been used excessively. they are never meant to be used for direct explanation. they are used for examples, not to dominate the information. Bread Ninja ( talk) 21:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
And if you say only Anno's word is important to quote, that still merits many other quotes in the articles to be removed, such as his biography, Carl Horn on media, and Analysis (which i may find that section very inappropriate and can be reformed to a Reception. These articles are no where near becoming GA or even A class unless we fix the TONE of the article and self published sources. the tag on the articles are there fora reason, and the main point is that the over usage of quotes affect the tone to be in an unecyclopedic matter. this seems to be more news style which often can be acceptable, but this seems to take it to a more extreme.

What does the reference on Misato Katsuragi have to say about her being an adult Usagi Tsukino? Would it be fair to say in Usagi's article that Usagi's hair design influenced Misato's hair design, or is the resemblance deeper? (aside from OMGZ same voice actor!) -- Malkinann ( talk) 03:24, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
"In the notes accompanying LD 0:2, it was stated that during the storyboard stage of episode 4, a staff asked Anno what Misato is like, and Anno replied that Misato is just like Tsukino Misato.
Anno is a Sailor Moon fans, and he had participated in drawing some cells in episode 46.
In the special EVA video dated before the TV series, Sadamoto stated that Misato's front bangs was modelled after Sailor Moon."
[Sadamoto:] There's a character called Mine Fujiko in an old series called Lupin.
And when I was young, I was... err... thought it was really interesting. She looked like she's still 20, but she also seemed like she's in her 30s. [Usagi from Sailor Moon on screen?] As for her bangs, well, I just stuck Usagi-chan's bangs on her. It started as a joke. But now having the voice actor, [Kotono] Mitsuishi-san and all, it's no longer a joke.
[Telop: Mitsuishi-san was also the voice actor for Usagi.]
it is inpracticle to have a timeline anywhere in any article, it doesn't meet the general notability guideline, and mose of all trivial. try not to remove it until we have a consensus. Bread Ninja ( talk) 00:03, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

But those are first party sources. And In-universe related, you make it seem as long as Anno says whatever, it can be added to the article. that's not the case. I'm trying to reduce quotes for easy encyclopedic flow, not encourage it, so third party would be much easier. Point is, don't blame me for the article's state i'm not on here always, but i do bring in the little time to discuss and get a consensus. There are other articles out there that are in a sorry state. be thankful NGE has sources (self published or not). If you don't have time, that's fine, but don't think that you're always right. When it comes to NGE it's a whole different subject with you. But i noticed you stick more encyclopedic with other articles Bread Ninja ( talk) 13:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Due to your past contribution to Technological utopianism, you may currently want to help editing the Technological utopianism article because currently only one editor is contributing to the article. The Singularitarianism Article could also benefit from your help.
I feel Loremaster is editing Singularitarianism and Technological utopianism in a biased manner in accordance with his Save The Earth propaganda. Loremasters's ideology seems to verge towards Neo-Luddism. Here are the damming facts Loremaster has stated in discussion:
"...critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms."
"...stop indulging in techno-utopian fantasies... ...so that we can all focus on energies on saving the planet."
"Although I am convinced that the world is in fact heading toward an ecological catastrophe, I think it can be averted and my optimism makes me want to fight to do do just that."

Your comment was funny.
I have previously asked User: Melcombe to consider whether his each of his future "citation needed" tags will elicit any useful citations. I believe that many (perhaps most) of his CN-tags will at best result in excessive referencing (of well-known statements whose documention is deprecated in the citation guidelines for scientific articles on WP): at worst, the citation needed tags just distract the reader, because WP editors have enough work to do correcting gross errors and writing basic articles without cluttering articles with the documentation of well-known results.
Maybe your humor will be more successful in moderating the citation-needed tagging, where my previous appeal(s) failed.
(I should add that editor Melcombe has helped me improve my citations, and is a very valuable WP editor, particularly on statistics. He has graciously and selflessly improved the formatting of many of my citations, on many articles. His CN-tagging is a trivial problem, in comparison to his manifold contributions.)

These came up when I started searching for sites to do an article for Wikipe-tan since i believe she can meet the GNG.
(First of all, sorry, I did not mean to rollback, though I did mean to revert.) Templates do not provide the rationale- you will note that the first says "To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale." and the second says "To the uploader: please add a fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information". And no, I certainly do not want you to just copy-paste something- for each use of non-free content, you need to write a detailed rationale explaining why the non-free image is needed, what it is adding in that particularly usage and why it is not in any way replaceable with non-free content, as well as providing source information. You also need to justify the amount of non-free content you're using- in this case, for instance, you are using something significantly more than a thumbnail, with a dozen panels. I appreciate the need for an illustration of the style and such, but why not a single panel at a low resolution? Something like (and I appreciate that this is a free image, so not the best comparison, but it's the only comic I read) this? As an aside, Template:Non-free use rationale will be useful in formatting the rationale, and Template:Non-free reduce will be useful if you upload something smaller over the top.

I am writing to question you of your suspected involvement in a vandalism attack on a local power station in Reading, England. We have reason to believe you are the ring leader of a vandal street gang known as the 'Purple Unity and Red Jack's' that are localised to southern Reading. On Thursday 21st April 2011, upon the residents of the area witnessing the attack, in which seven vandals caused costly damage to the structure and it's fences as well as many surrounding trees, a cardboard banner was attached to the fence reading "Under orders of Gwern".
This is not the only occasion in which your Wikipedia account has been referenced. On Saturday January 1st 2011, the same gang was seen attempting to transport themselves onto the Madejski Stadium roof using cannons to release a banner over the East Stand reading "We will never bow to hatred; we will never fall to society, we will never rest for fear of our mission failing - All Hail Gwern". The initial aim failed, they never were able to reach the roof; however, their banner was slung over a nearby house for all to see.
Also, on 12th December 2010, a middle-aged man was seen sprinting away from elderly people with several teenagers following and aiding him. On his shirt, he was revealed to be sporting the words "Gwern".
Now, we have strong suspicions that you are this Gwern person, and we have every intention of arriving at the truth. We will be in contact if we arrive at any more information. Thankyou for your time.

While I currently have no opinion on whether the quote should be attributed to Dijkstra or not, your attribution to Fellows and Parberry is based on inconclusive original research. That this is the earliest source you found mentioning this quote does not imply it actually is the first source to mention it. Given that the quotation already appears in this 1993 PhD thesis makes your theory much more implausible. Cheers, — Ruud 17:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm embarrassed to admit that I inadvertently plagiarized Dijkstra. Several people have pointed that out over the course of the last 18 years. I had heard his quote but forgot that it was a quote. The end of the statement, after the telescopes bit, is probably mine. It was unconscious on my part.

I just received another e-mail from Ian Parberry:

I came across this quote by Dijkstra from 1987, which you may find interesting:
As a result, the topic became —primarily in the USA— prematurely known as "computer science" —which, actually is like referring to surgery as "knife science"— and it was firmly implanted in people's minds that computing science is about machines and their peripheral equipment.

I'm giving it to you for your work on the English Wikipedia and English Wikibooks.

I noticed your recent of the Folding@home article. Since you questioned in the edit summary the citations behind F@h causing paradigm shifts, I have recently replaced those with a citation to an appropriate peer-reviewed scientific journal paper, which says "Moreover, this approach represents a paradigm shift in how one uses simulations, away from anecdotal single-trajectory approaches to a more comprehensive statistical approach." Although the statement was indeed briefly covered by the Results/Papers citation I had in place, I used this journal instead, and moved those other citations to more appropriate places in the article. Also, as User:Emw recommended, I had some details in the body of the Folding@home article (in the Biomedical Significance section) which further supported that statement. So hopefully I have successfully addressed that issue. Thank you for the edit you made though, it was a bold statement and needed better backing.

Hi,
i don't any more concern on whatever this series pass WP:BK requirement compared to the situation in 2010. Getting this title released in NA helped a lot.
In addition it was also released in France by kaze the "French publishing-arm" of Viz Media Europe. So reviews in French should be also available even if i haven't checked.

Sorry, about the name-calling. It's not really YOU that's the twit, so much as your edits. They are idiotic and wrong. You're obviously just doing this because, I presume, you otherwise have no authority in life. The information that you bizarrely insist on retaining in the article is both outdated and irrelevant. It doesn't belong in any author's page. I can only assume that you're putting it back to be petulant.

The article "list of neon genesis evangelion" or "neon genesis evangelion (manga)" mentions nothing of any volume release in 1998 for both japanese and english release. Regardless, reverting ediits that clearly contradict the article and saying it doesnt based solely on your opinion is uncivil. If you have more knowledge that provides more information, then by all means share and contribute to the article. Its clearly a contradiction within the article.

Glad to see someone else working on the Gainax page! I undid (and redid) your changes to the table of TV shows because filmographies are supposed to be simple lists of a person or company's works. While I concede that directors are essential to the vision of an anime series, unevenly adding in positions or any adapted source (with jobs like "character designer" or any manga series it's based off only applied to some of them) is too cumbersome and probably better left on the series' own article. I also am afraid of articles becoming too complicated or daunting for the novice reader to stumble into and maybe become interested in something they otherwise wouldn't. That's my rationale anyway.

Hi Gwerne,
Following on from your message to me on the 7th of March, did you see that I added that link regarding Miyamura taht you asked me about on the Evangelion discussion page? I was just wondering. Also, do you know where I could please read "Angelic Days" and the manga version of "Evangelion" (which is ending soon) online?
Lastly, on the discussion page, I posted a link to a forum where a fan called Zeak who attempted to make a fan-made animated adaptation of Re-Take. met Spike Spencer at a convention. He apparently told Zeak that he read it. I wonder what the thought of it? It would be nice if it got at least an official manga release after the Rebuild series comes to an end.
Kindest regards,
zictor23 ( talk) 20:39, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern,
Thank you very much for getting back to me. If I ever find links to either of the two mangas (or both) I will post links to them on the Neon Genesis Evangelion page.
Also, I recently posted a link to an English translation of Re-Take on the Neon Genesis Evangelion page. I did that so that other people who haven’t read Re-Take could check it out. I was amazed when I first came across it. I think I first heard about Re-Take on the EvaGeeks website.
Lastly, I hope that I don’t sound like a broken record when I said that I hope Re-Take gets an official manga release and/or gets animated someday. It’s just that I would like to see that happen, and I know that many fans would, judging by what I've read people say on the Internet. It would be good if something were done after the Rebuild series ends next year. To me, Re-Take is a fantastic follow-up to the End of Evangelion. I sometimes wonder what Hideaki Anno thought of it (if he has read it). zictor23 ( talk) 21:09, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern,
Thank you for letting me know. I didn't realise that if I posted links to scanlations of the Eva mana adaptation and/or Angelic Days they would be removed as copyright violations. If I do find sites for them, however, would you like me to post them on your talk page if you wish to check them out? zictor23 ( talk) 21:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, the Episodes and Records sections were the only part of the original media page I didn't directly integrate into the franchise page. The former should already be found in the TV series' page and the latter seems unnecessary and had no proper sources. Any record sales should be filed under the credited product, not paraded in some big table with no sense of financial proportion. I'm interested to hear if you think I have left too many or the wrong things out. Ode2joy ( talk) 09:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern (and other Eva fans),
I recently came across a website called Manganation containing scanlations of the manga version of NGE. I'm glad that I found this, because here in the UK none of the Evangelion mangas have been released, so its nice to finally come across this. It'll be interesting to see how the manga version compares with the anime version. zictor23 ( talk) 21:03, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern. As you may know, WP:VG had been using your anime CSE until around 2009 when a member of WP:VG created a new CSE but forgot to list his name, instead leaving you as the contact in case of problems. Since then I can see you've gotten a couple of comments on this subject (e.g. this and this) which must be rather bothersome. So I just wanted to let you know that I've created a new pair of CSEs for WP:VG now and so you can direct any further complaints or error reports to me if you wish. Happy editing. - Thibbs ( talk) 04:26, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwerne,
Regarding the manga, I haven't read much of it. I was just curious to see how it ends, compared with the anime. One thing I have heard is that manga Misato also sacrifices her own life to save Shinji. Also, from what I saw in one chapter, Ritsuko kills Gendo, apparently out of jealously for the fact that Gendo doesn't love her but apparently only loves Rei. I wonder if it'll have an open ending like EoE (which led Azuma Takeshi to write the brilliant Re-Take, to continue the story), or if things will turn out differently. zictor23 (contribs) 20:28 7 May 2012

Hi Gwern,
I think it was entirely appropriate to speedy delete the article at Toonami (Rebirth)-Adult Swim as opposed to redirecting it, and disagree with your creation of a redirect at that title. A redirect is useful if it is a likely search term or if there is a link from either within Wikipedia or outside Wikipedia using that title. In this case, I do not think the title is a likely search term. Someone might type "Toonami (Rebirth)" or "Toonami (Adult Swim)", but I don't think people are likely to type the whole string "Toonami (Rebirth)-Adult Swim". It also isn't linked from any articles in Wikipedia, and is unlikely to be linked from outside Wikipedia as it was recently created. This seems to me to be exactly the sort of thing that speedy deletion criterion A10 was created to delete. Calathan ( talk) 18:18, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay, there’s obviously some personal animosity between you two, so I’m going to humbly suggest that you both simply avoid looking at each other’s edits until such time as you can be civil and mature toward each other. I haven’t looked into either user’s editing history, but it seems clear to me just from this exchange that one (if not both) of you is in the habit of personally attacking the other. Things shouldn’t be made personal here, and egos should not get in the way of being constructive—whether that’s adding pages of quality content, or explaining the concept of WP:cruft to a well-meaning contributor.
In short: Be civil to each other (at least in public view), or leave each other alone. — Frungi ( talk) 07:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
@Gwern: you really dont follow my edits. I dont edit in Eva articles because of you. I do research and add info to several other articles. I recently added to Neon Genesis Evangelion:Death and Rebirth.
@Goodraise. Do you ever leave it be? This isnt your battle, so why try to be the wikipolice if you dont even care about the details of the situation nor do you want to help either of us. All you did last time is try scare tactic. I grow weary of this and i want to edit the Eva articles, but it aint happening because the editing that i believe needs to be done is summarizing heavily unnecesary detailed info. And all that is what Gwern has contributed. So i draw my hands....i may have been uncivil in the beginning, but just the thpught of both of you in the same discussion is just at a level of a migrane.

Suggesting blocking both of us. Attempting to threaten. Al of that for a dispute you didnt really involve you.And its nothing to do with winning a battle, it has to do with the reasons behind why one "battle" is won. You represent everything that i have a problem with wikipedia, on how people can sleeze out of discussions when its convenient to them and stalk and deny things when it comes to their personal interest. You may have no "need" for avoiding me, but i do. And no, you dont edit any article really that goes within my scopes. All i see you do is comment in wikiprojects that im part of. So i ask you again to avoid me, you give me migranes and i dont ever want to talk to you. Lucia Black ( talk) 00:34, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Seems A&M has a bit of a problem. I hope you see me as a worthwhile addition to the sector, I am not a major scholar, but I do try my best and NGE holds a special place in my heart. It was the first anime I ever did an academic paper on! I spent maybe 20-30 hours with the material and analyzing and comparing my notes to other reviewers and academics. I had like 20+ pages of notes of the theology and symbolism alone. And, while I am well aware of that infamous interviews with the Christian symbols being simply "foreign" and of no "Christian message", but such was said of FLCL. People do see deeper meanings in anything they want to see deeper meaning in, but after a certain point some sense rises up that "something" deliberate is being done. Shinji and Asuka's path across the Sephirot seems more than just "monster of the week" and given by all the attention spent in drawing and maintaining these symbolic presences, the artists or at least the supervisors had to be aware that intentional development is occurring. Studying "things" people seldom care about can lead to some amazing insights into how "the world" works. Maybe you could share your thoughts with me about it. I'd like to hear more.

Hello, I'm a Wikipedian from zh:. Recently I'm trying to do some improvements to the NGE article in zh. Long ago I knew the Napier article When the Machines Stop: Fantasy, Reality, and Terminal Identity in Neon Genesis Evangelion and Serial Experiments Lain. And I think a anime article really needs some critical POV, so Napier's article would be very helpful for improving the quality of the Chinese article, and I also value this very much. But I can't find the article anywhere with any online method. Finally, I find you have a scan copy. So could you please send me a copy? (sicaral-gmail-com) Of course I know the copyright issue. Thank you! Sicaral 13:08, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. This is in reply to your comment on my edit of the Symbolics page. Yes, my change is "unsourced"; unfortunately I don't know of any "source" for this. The only written source I know of is Stallman's book, but that's his own account of what happened, and just because he found a publisher and wrote his version in a book does not make it true. The actual facts are that only 3 or 4 of the Symbolics founders were employed by the AI lab (4 if you count Dave Moon who was half-time). I don't know why the original author particularly referred to Richard and Marvin; if you count Marvin as a "hacker" then there were dozens of hackers who did not leave the AI lab. Symbolics's founders came from many different places, including Lawrence Livermore Labs, the IIASA in Vienna, the MIT Lab for Computer Science, Honeywell LISD, and so on. I'm sorry about the text not flowing -- I was trying to make as minimal an edit as I could that would be consistent with the facts, because I thought that would be appropriate Wikipedia etiquette. I'm very new at Wikipedia and regret if I have done anything wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielWeinreb ( talk • contribs) 13:27, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
P.S. I would be happy to go into more detail about exactly who the founders were and where they came from, to the best of my recollection, but I thought that would be too much information and would really not fit in the flow. If there were some way to do footnotes (probably there is, and I don't know it) I guess it might make sense to put in a footnote with an enumerated list of the founders. If I can remember them all. I actually think there were about 20 people who were considered "founders" in that they received founder stock, which was the criterion for the use of the word "founder" within Symbolics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielWeinreb ( talk • contribs) 13:32, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
It's actually extremely common practice, for the simple reason that they tend to look like complete crap when rendered, if the template is smooshed into the foregoing text, navboxes, etc. On a more general note, wiki comments aren't an especially good substitute for talk pages.

I'm not sure about your ebooks but in both editions of the book that I have (ISBN: 0-441-17271-7 mass market paperback from 1990 and 0-441-00590-X hardcover from 1999) the scene between Paul and Reverend Mother Mohiam on roughly page 11 or 12 goes as follows:
"'Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind," Paul quoted. "Right out of the Butlerian Jihad and the Orange Catholic Bible," she said. "But what the O.C. Bible should've said is: 'Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind.'
I have read the book 11 times as well as all the sequels and the prequels other than Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune. I don't appreciate your condescension. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppuccio ( talk • contribs) 00:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Gwern. Thanks for trying to fix the categories for the article on Hakuin Ekaku, but that's not how categories work. When you want to add someone to a category, for instance, you should use their name, such as "[[Category:Buddhist philosophers|Hakuin Ekaku]]". This will cause their name to appear in the list of articles for that category. (Yes, it's different from the way links normally work). Hope this helps. -- ubiquity 22:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

Replacing a dead link with a failed internet wayback machine dead link is "exceptionally lazy" as you would say. I've removed the section once again. Not only is there no source but the whole paragraph represents nothing but speculation "If the collect had survived to the early 700s." it did not so why have this in the article? Thanks Rastov 05:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Yesterday it was hitting to a 404 from two different computers. Regardless the paragraph is without merit as it talks about where the collection would have gone had it not been destroyed. If it clearly says the Al-Azhar collection contains no alexandrian texts, then why is it included in the article "Library of Alexandria"? Rastov 19:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello.
Indeed there are some source that say the birthyear of Fuyutsuki is 1955, but the newest official book "THE ESSENTIAL EVANGELION CHRONICLE SIDE A" ( ISBN 978-4789770187, We've Inc. & Sony Magazines Inc. Japan, 2007/10) declares the Fuyutsuki's age is unknown. Therefore we must not write the birth of Fuyutsuki in NGE's timetable. Rider of Midland ( talk) 07:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
No, it has been said on the GAINAX's official site that Fuyutsuki is elder about 10 years old than Gendo Ikari (48), but there had been no official data which showed the birthyear of Fuyutsuki by the publishment of "Evangelion Chronicle" in 2007. After that, "THE ESSENTIAL EVANGELION CHRONICLE SIDE A" reconfirms that Fuyutsuki's age is unknown. We should be subject to the Newest statements.

I'm one of the folks working on upgrading the manga article. You mention wanting more pictures -- how I wish! But there are two formidable problems. One is copyright -- we need fair use rationales for all such images, and the number we can insert is sharply limited by Wiki procedures. Second is sheer size -- images suck up bandwidth like crazy, and the article is already long. If I had my way, I'd fill the whole article with pictures -- we're on the same wavelength about that! But I don't see how we can do it. In any event, thanks very much for your comments, and we will take them to heart as we continue to work on the article.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Xmonad meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xmonad. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article.
One of your comments was that there was no section on shonen manga. We just added it, settling one of the major issues (to both of us, it seems). Thanks. Timothy Perper ( talk) 23:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Past-master-book-cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 18:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Finger tree, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{

the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thank you for uploading Image:Past-master-book-cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 16:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure to contact regarding this matter, but I saw that you are a pretty active wikipedian and so I thought I would ask. I am very tired of the crappy search engine that wikipedia uses. Is there not some way to mimic google's search where if you misspell something it asks you "Did you mean _____?" or displays close matches to what you are trying to say? If I am unsure how to spell something, it come back blank and then I search google, it finds what I mean, I click yes and then the wikipedia entry comes up on google. Is there anything that can be done?

I was doing something like this last night (instead of my homework!), and found my way to your userpage, where I was immediately interested by the words "you", "can", "help", "wget" and "upload.py", and the meaning imposed by their relative positions to each other. So, I hacked up a bash script before I went to bed, and I've got 105 of the 148 downloaded. From what testing I did, uploading them all's going to be a bear, especially since the one I tested couldn't really be optimized at all by optipng, so they're all going to be rather large. They should be showing up here, if you're interested. I'll probably need you to go through and give 'em licenses, since I don't know squat about the source. Cheers!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Piotr Woźniak (researcher), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Piotr Woźniak. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Folken keeps forcing his edits on the Rebuild of Eva 1.0 article and I keep reverting them to my version, and basically I feel that Folken is ordering us around even though he has no authority to do so because he is not an admin, and he didn't do much to help setting up these articles, only nitpicking on things we wrote. Be that as it may, I feel the only way to stop him from bullying us around is to make a formal vote at Talk:Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone#Summary length for consensus. Heck, vote against my position if you feel that is the proper course of action; the point is that Folken does not have the authority to single-handedly constantly be laying down decisions like this and such decisions should be made, I feel, with the support of the whole project. -- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici ( talk) 23:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Re: recent change of verb in the Project Gutenberg article.
Interesting point. However, I have seen in the Distributed Proofreaders forums a number of times, variations on the idea that what is done there is more like transcription than proofreading.
For example here's a quote from [4]
I find this definition of proofread:
The usual idea there is that in proofreading, you are, using your own knowledge and experience of what is correct, making changes to a not-yet-final copy of a text. On the other hand, at distributed Proofreaders, the end-goal is to produce a digital transcription of a physical book, with the focus nearly always being "match the original page image."
I find a number of possible definition of the verb "transcribe"
Often, a key point there is movement from one media to another. This does seem apt for describing what is done at DP.

I would like to kindly ask that you refrain from simply removing closed discussions from this page in the future, without first archiving them to our deletion archive. I regularly archive closed discussions myself, so if you don't want to involve yourself in the archival process, you can just leave closed discussions on the page, and I should be along within a day (or two, on weekends) to archive them myself.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Shadowknight, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I'm still not sure exactly what you're looking for. As I (and a number of other people) said in the talk page after you marked the article as non-notable, either all window managers are notable or none are. With the exception of the glitz of compiz/beryl, none of them have the amount of formal mention that you seem to be looking for.

i disagree with spliting the article of nge anime and manga. of course they would have different people owrking on the manga then on the anime but it still retains to the series. Also the manga has very low information and has practically the same information the anime has but a little more detailed. Bread Ninja ( talk) 16:14, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
EXACTLY! now your thinking like a true contributor. But of course not everything should merge. just most of the articles out there. Like neon genesis evangelion spin offs and doujinshi and spin off games that hold no real importance to the series (Ayanami Raising Project • Shinji Ikari Raising Project • Iron Maiden (2nd) • Neon Genesis Evangelion • Shinji and Good Friends • Evangelion 2 • Battle Orchestra) should be removed and briefly mentioned. The movie should have it's own article since it holds nobility, but the manga deserves to be in the anime.
anyways publishing history? bibliography? it's nothing but simple wording. bibliography is just another way saying list of volumes without chapters. publishing history and critical success? basically reception with trivial information. these articles look like work of a fan. Some of the information is unnecessary. Look at the Rozen Maiden article and the Blood+ article. they are written in summary and dont take up most of the space over one plot or inspiration.
Also we should remove the neon genesis evanlion logo and add the DVD cover OR the manga first volume. Highly suggest manga first volume, since it was the first promotional item that released from the series (if we agree to merge the articles).
Now let's focus on the big problems, the anime article needs a lot of clean up. too much trivial information. We should re-summaries/delete Origin and production,Inspiration and symbolism, Psychology and psychoanalytic theory, Religion, Fiction and philosophy, Translation notes on the title, Further reading. I highly suggest we delete Further reading, Religion, and inspiration and symbolism and references to other media. the article itself is to give a brief explanation about the series (which has turned into separate articles), it's not suppose to explain every little theory, assumption and notes unless it affects the series itself. end of evangelion description is far too long. there's already a separate article so there's no need for a summary as long as the plot.
And there's on other thing.....timeline of NGE? what is that suppose to be? just an article with a timeline? that shouldn't even exist in Wikipedia. Every summary, plot, description should be revised and summarized to 200-500 words.
this is what an article of anime/manga series should look like
-Series description name, when it was serialized, small description of the series.
-Plot
-characters
-Production
-other media
-Reception
now for the side articles. Side articles to support the main article.
-list of 'title' chapters
an article showing the list of volumes and chapters
-list of 'title' episodes
an article showing the list of episodes (this already seems to be done so no worries here)
-list of 'title' characters
not really important since it is already made)
-Movie articles
article about a movie based off the main series. If the movie hit a certain reception and had obtain nobility, then it may be allowed to exist as a separate article but with a small description added in the main article (under 'other media')
Any other article out there should not exist.

No worries. :) To be a bit more clear about why I find Evangelion particularly tiring, I first watched Evangelion when I was far too young to appreciate it. It was sprung on me by my older brother, I was expecting something far more conventional and cheerful, and I retain an antipathy. I watched episodes 1 through 26 once, tried to read vol 1 of Angelic Days years later (and failed dismally), and I have not delved further into Evangelion's canon. However, I think that most of the Evangelion suite of articles are likely to be notable, if one can find the sources to prove that. Is there any particular reasoning why Fujie and Manabu Tsuribe meet WP:RS? Being able to prove that they do would help enormously. -- Malkinann ( talk) 01:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Re these 2 edits: Well as far as I can make out, so far there are only two of them. Therefore, I don't think they would count as a "tetralogy", as the third and fourth don't yet exist. Also, as per WP:NCF, anything other that a "trilogy", should be referred to as a "series". Is there any reason why you need these to be called "tetralogy"? What's wrong with "series"? - good old plain english. Rob Sinden ( talk) 14:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, I dislike 'series' because that sounds so indefinite. Inuyasha or Dragon Ball movies, these are series - just one movie after another, with no particular connection, done as profitable. It conveys a sense of haphazardness, that these individual works are connected only by historical accidents like their creators, or by being set in similar fictional universes, etc.
Rebuild, on the other hand, is guaranteed to finish out all 4 planned movies (since Eva is and always has been ridiculously popular/profitable), and I believe SNOW says that things that are essentially guaranteed are not considered covered under it. Further, the works form a relative artistic unity: they're going to cover the basic arcs of the TV anime and redo the ending again. Like Lord of the Rings, you'll be able to sit down and watch a full story arc, from the first time Shinji shows up to NERV to the aftermath of Third Impact (whatever that's like in this version). If 'tetralogy' is more accurate than 'series', why not use it? WP:NCF says "When trilogies are often referred to as such by outside sources, their articles may be titled Series name trilogy."; I believe my Google link (and Wikipedia's articles) show that 'tetralogy' is commonly used for Rebuild.
Now, using 'intention' inserts more uncertainty than is truly there. The tetralogy will be made. There's no doubt about that. But unless I've managed to convince you, I'm not going to object, since it's not that important. -- Gwern (contribs) 15:51, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

to importScript("User:EpochFail/HAPPI_test.js")
.Once we get this feature worked out and I merge the change to HAPPI.js

that's because i'm mainly talking to a baised bunch of fans. believing every piece of information is important no matter how unnecessarty it is.

INDISCRIMINATE talks about info even if they have reliable sources or verifiable. the list of posssible multiple itnerpretations can fall in plot, and maybe statistics depending on how it's viewed . WP:INDISCRIMINATE is a substitute. the information rather is unnecessary. I'm going to call it "fan-info" for now. small tiny pieces of info that really aren't necessary to be kept. even if they are all together in one list. it's just as trivial, not necessary in anyway. doesn't help, it confuses readers (if it confused me imagine first time readers) and it doesn't connect to the paragraph as well.
that's also a format most NGE articles are taking, in forms of list which is not the best choice. Keeping info for the sake of promoting each piece (which really isn't)
there are major problem with it and you know it. like i said in the past, it's either adding every single piece of religious reference ever to appear in NGE or none at all or use one as an example to represent all. Either way, info is not necessary. i know your a fan, and would like to keep as much as you like, so am i. but even i know when something is not necessary at all to be added or when there is.
yes, religious reference in general is significant to the story, but not every single one individually are more significant than the other. it is fancruft to believe one or a small group of them are more important than the others or to list the only few that have. that's why i said either all or none or one as an example to represent all. Also none of these religious references were confirmed within NGE universe. they are all someone's belief. while the creators denied it and said had multiple interpretations. the list also does not help with
WP:NPOV
after that, it all went down to religion being significant in general so it must be ok to list in general. the main problem with contributors in NGE whether it's negative or not, is that no one is proposing enough, or when someone does, it's either support or deny, there's no room for adding a new ideas to move things alone. All of you just deny, or when there is support, hardly anything is done. for example when malkinann proposed all the game articles to be merged, was anything done? same for my other recent propositions. for now i wont use "fancruft" and use something much more specific like WP:LISTCRUFT which is far more specific and might be the sole problem with some NGE articles. for instance Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days which also falls in WP:INDISCRIMINATE and Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone Original Sound Track and of course Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime) and by NGE anime i don't mean just the list of religious references although that is one of the issues.
Also the list itself is merely talkinga bout areas where people have made assumptions rather a list of religious references that were explained with in the anime Bread Ninja ( talk) 23:13, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

When adding links to material on an external site, as you did to
Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime), please ensure that the external site is not
violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as
YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 03:04, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

There's hardly any more or less evidence as to the number of Angels being intentional than just about any other religious symbol the series, and regardless of what other ideas were discussed or pursued in other iterations, we have to look at the fact that they ended up going with eighteen Angels, which IS a significant number. I don't think it's unreasonable to point out on the Evangelion pages that eighteen is a number of symbolic significance and let the reader draw their own conclusions, which is what I did.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

"This "sir, yes sir" business, which would probably sound like horseshit to any civilian in his right mind, makes sense to Shaftoe and to the officers in a deep and important way. Like a lot of others, Shaftoe had trouble with military etiquette at first. He soaked up quite a bit of it growing up in a military family, but living the life was a different matter. Having now experienced all the phases of military existence except for the terminal ones (violent death, court-martial, retirement), he has come to understand the culture for what it is: a system of etiquette within which it becomes possible for groups of men to live together for years, travel to the ends of the earth, and do all kinds of incredibly weird shit without killing each other or completely losing their minds in the process. The extreme formality with which he addresses these officers carries an important subtext: your problem, sir, is deciding what you want me to do, and my problem, sir, is doing it. My gung-ho posture says that once you give the order I'm not going to bother you with any of the details--and your half of the bargain is you had better stay on your side of the line, sir, and not bother me with any of the chickenshit politics that you have to deal with for a living. The implied responsibility placed upon the officer's shoulders by the subordinate's unhesitating willingness to follow orders is a withering burden to any officer with half a brain, and Shaftoe has more than once seen seasoned noncoms reduce green lieutenants to quivering blobs simply by standing before them and agreeing, cheerfully, to carry out their orders."

Quotes are valid in general, but used to a limit. Well for one obvious reason is, they are un encyclopedic, they disrupt the feel the encyclopedic style of wikipedia if they are used too much. Quotes aren't meant to dominate the article they are only there if they've been recognized overtime. Also they are not suppose to be the information themselves, they are merely to help.
let me give two examples of quotes used. Anno's personal biography describes this period:
^^ this could easily be a summary rather than a quote. ALl of it could. Another example is this one:
It's strange that 'Evangelion' has become such a hit - all the characters are so sick!
^^this one is just sitting there. Not really much reason why it has to be in a quote.
Quotes need to be given when the words have been used excessively. they are never meant to be used for direct explanation. they are used for examples, not to dominate the information. Bread Ninja ( talk) 21:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
And if you say only Anno's word is important to quote, that still merits many other quotes in the articles to be removed, such as his biography, Carl Horn on media, and Analysis (which i may find that section very inappropriate and can be reformed to a Reception. These articles are no where near becoming GA or even A class unless we fix the TONE of the article and self published sources. the tag on the articles are there fora reason, and the main point is that the over usage of quotes affect the tone to be in an unecyclopedic matter. this seems to be more news style which often can be acceptable, but this seems to take it to a more extreme.

"In the notes accompanying LD 0:2, it was stated that during the storyboard stage of episode 4, a staff asked Anno what Misato is like, and Anno replied that Misato is just like Tsukino Misato.
Anno is a Sailor Moon fans, and he had participated in drawing some cells in episode 46.
In the special EVA video dated before the TV series, Sadamoto stated that Misato's front bangs was modelled after Sailor Moon."
[Sadamoto:] There's a character called Mine Fujiko in an old series called Lupin.
And when I was young, I was... err... thought it was really interesting. She looked like she's still 20, but she also seemed like she's in her 30s. [Usagi from Sailor Moon on screen?] As for her bangs, well, I just stuck Usagi-chan's bangs on her. It started as a joke. But now having the voice actor, [Kotono] Mitsuishi-san and all, it's no longer a joke.
[Telop: Mitsuishi-san was also the voice actor for Usagi.]
it is inpracticle to have a timeline anywhere in any article, it doesn't meet the general notability guideline, and mose of all trivial. try not to remove it until we have a consensus. Bread Ninja ( talk) 00:03, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

But those are first party sources. And In-universe related, you make it seem as long as Anno says whatever, it can be added to the article. that's not the case. I'm trying to reduce quotes for easy encyclopedic flow, not encourage it, so third party would be much easier. Point is, don't blame me for the article's state i'm not on here always, but i do bring in the little time to discuss and get a consensus. There are other articles out there that are in a sorry state. be thankful NGE has sources (self published or not). If you don't have time, that's fine, but don't think that you're always right. When it comes to NGE it's a whole different subject with you. But i noticed you stick more encyclopedic with other articles Bread Ninja ( talk) 13:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Due to your past contribution to Technological utopianism, you may currently want to help editing the Technological utopianism article because currently only one editor is contributing to the article. The Singularitarianism Article could also benefit from your help.
I feel Loremaster is editing Singularitarianism and Technological utopianism in a biased manner in accordance with his Save The Earth propaganda. Loremasters's ideology seems to verge towards Neo-Luddism. Here are the damming facts Loremaster has stated in discussion:
"...critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms."
"...stop indulging in techno-utopian fantasies... ...so that we can all focus on energies on saving the planet."
"Although I am convinced that the world is in fact heading toward an ecological catastrophe, I think it can be averted and my optimism makes me want to fight to do do just that."

Your comment was funny.
I have previously asked User: Melcombe to consider whether his each of his future "citation needed" tags will elicit any useful citations. I believe that many (perhaps most) of his CN-tags will at best result in excessive referencing (of well-known statements whose documention is deprecated in the citation guidelines for scientific articles on WP): at worst, the citation needed tags just distract the reader, because WP editors have enough work to do correcting gross errors and writing basic articles without cluttering articles with the documentation of well-known results.
Maybe your humor will be more successful in moderating the citation-needed tagging, where my previous appeal(s) failed.
(I should add that editor Melcombe has helped me improve my citations, and is a very valuable WP editor, particularly on statistics. He has graciously and selflessly improved the formatting of many of my citations, on many articles. His CN-tagging is a trivial problem, in comparison to his manifold contributions.)

These came up when I started searching for sites to do an article for Wikipe-tan since i believe she can meet the GNG.
(First of all, sorry, I did not mean to rollback, though I did mean to revert.) Templates do not provide the rationale- you will note that the first says "To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale." and the second says "To the uploader: please add a fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information". And no, I certainly do not want you to just copy-paste something- for each use of non-free content, you need to write a detailed rationale explaining why the non-free image is needed, what it is adding in that particularly usage and why it is not in any way replaceable with non-free content, as well as providing source information. You also need to justify the amount of non-free content you're using- in this case, for instance, you are using something significantly more than a thumbnail, with a dozen panels. I appreciate the need for an illustration of the style and such, but why not a single panel at a low resolution? Something like (and I appreciate that this is a free image, so not the best comparison, but it's the only comic I read) this? As an aside, Template:Non-free use rationale will be useful in formatting the rationale, and Template:Non-free reduce will be useful if you upload something smaller over the top.

I am writing to question you of your suspected involvement in a vandalism attack on a local power station in Reading, England. We have reason to believe you are the ring leader of a vandal street gang known as the 'Purple Unity and Red Jack's' that are localised to southern Reading. On Thursday 21st April 2011, upon the residents of the area witnessing the attack, in which seven vandals caused costly damage to the structure and it's fences as well as many surrounding trees, a cardboard banner was attached to the fence reading "Under orders of Gwern".
This is not the only occasion in which your Wikipedia account has been referenced. On Saturday January 1st 2011, the same gang was seen attempting to transport themselves onto the Madejski Stadium roof using cannons to release a banner over the East Stand reading "We will never bow to hatred; we will never fall to society, we will never rest for fear of our mission failing - All Hail Gwern". The initial aim failed, they never were able to reach the roof; however, their banner was slung over a nearby house for all to see.
Also, on 12th December 2010, a middle-aged man was seen sprinting away from elderly people with several teenagers following and aiding him. On his shirt, he was revealed to be sporting the words "Gwern".
Now, we have strong suspicions that you are this Gwern person, and we have every intention of arriving at the truth. We will be in contact if we arrive at any more information. Thankyou for your time.

Wikiwix is the only other archive service I know of, and I'd like to use it.

While I currently have no opinion on whether the quote should be attributed to Dijkstra or not, your attribution to Fellows and Parberry is based on inconclusive original research. That this is the earliest source you found mentioning this quote does not imply it actually is the first source to mention it. Given that the quotation already appears in this 1993 PhD thesis makes your theory much more implausible. Cheers, — Ruud 17:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm embarrassed to admit that I inadvertently plagiarized Dijkstra. Several people have pointed that out over the course of the last 18 years. I had heard his quote but forgot that it was a quote. The end of the statement, after the telescopes bit, is probably mine. It was unconscious on my part.

I just received another e-mail from Ian Parberry:
I've dug into the question a little more, and I've changed my mind. Please read my conclusions on http://larc.unt.edu/ian/research/cseducation/. Ian

I came across this quote by Dijkstra from 1987, which you may find interesting:
As a result, the topic became —primarily in the USA— prematurely known as "computer science" —which, actually is like referring to surgery as "knife science"— and it was firmly implanted in people's minds that computing science is about machines and their peripheral equipment.

I noticed your recent of the Folding@home article. Since you questioned in the edit summary the citations behind F@h causing paradigm shifts, I have recently replaced those with a citation to an appropriate peer-reviewed scientific journal paper, which says "Moreover, this approach represents a paradigm shift in how one uses simulations, away from anecdotal single-trajectory approaches to a more comprehensive statistical approach." Although the statement was indeed briefly covered by the Results/Papers citation I had in place, I used this journal instead, and moved those other citations to more appropriate places in the article. Also, as User:Emw recommended, I had some details in the body of the Folding@home article (in the Biomedical Significance section) which further supported that statement. So hopefully I have successfully addressed that issue. Thank you for the edit you made though, it was a bold statement and needed better backing.

I am interested, though, in finding a method for preserving references that are no longer needed - or to phrase it in the motivating way - not currently needed by articles. Any ideas?

The Lafferty literary rights are no longer for sale. They were bought in July 2011. This can be confirmed by contacting his estate's executor:

Sorry, about the name-calling. It's not really YOU that's the twit, so much as your edits. They are idiotic and wrong. You're obviously just doing this because, I presume, you otherwise have no authority in life. The information that you bizarrely insist on retaining in the article is both outdated and irrelevant. It doesn't belong in any author's page. I can only assume that you're putting it back to be petulant.

The article "list of neon genesis evangelion" or "neon genesis evangelion (manga)" mentions nothing of any volume release in 1998 for both japanese and english release. Regardless, reverting ediits that clearly contradict the article and saying it doesnt based solely on your opinion is uncivil. If you have more knowledge that provides more information, then by all means share and contribute to the article. Its clearly a contradiction within the article.

Glad to see someone else working on the Gainax page! I undid (and redid) your changes to the table of TV shows because filmographies are supposed to be simple lists of a person or company's works. While I concede that directors are essential to the vision of an anime series, unevenly adding in positions or any adapted source (with jobs like "character designer" or any manga series it's based off only applied to some of them) is too cumbersome and probably better left on the series' own article. I also am afraid of articles becoming too complicated or daunting for the novice reader to stumble into and maybe become interested in something they otherwise wouldn't. That's my rationale anyway.

Hi Gwerne,
Following on from your message to me on the 7th of March, did you see that I added that link regarding Miyamura taht you asked me about on the Evangelion discussion page? I was just wondering. Also, do you know where I could please read "Angelic Days" and the manga version of "Evangelion" (which is ending soon) online?
Lastly, on the discussion page, I posted a link to a forum where a fan called Zeak who attempted to make a fan-made animated adaptation of Re-Take. met Spike Spencer at a convention. He apparently told Zeak that he read it. I wonder what the thought of it? It would be nice if it got at least an official manga release after the Rebuild series comes to an end.
Kindest regards,
zictor23 ( talk) 20:39, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern,
Thank you very much for getting back to me. If I ever find links to either of the two mangas (or both) I will post links to them on the Neon Genesis Evangelion page.
Also, I recently posted a link to an English translation of Re-Take on the Neon Genesis Evangelion page. I did that so that other people who haven’t read Re-Take could check it out. I was amazed when I first came across it. I think I first heard about Re-Take on the EvaGeeks website.
Lastly, I hope that I don’t sound like a broken record when I said that I hope Re-Take gets an official manga release and/or gets animated someday. It’s just that I would like to see that happen, and I know that many fans would, judging by what I've read people say on the Internet. It would be good if something were done after the Rebuild series ends next year. To me, Re-Take is a fantastic follow-up to the End of Evangelion. I sometimes wonder what Hideaki Anno thought of it (if he has read it). zictor23 ( talk) 21:09, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern,
Thank you for letting me know. I didn't realise that if I posted links to scanlations of the Eva mana adaptation and/or Angelic Days they would be removed as copyright violations. If I do find sites for them, however, would you like me to post them on your talk page if you wish to check them out? zictor23 ( talk) 21:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, the Episodes and Records sections were the only part of the original media page I didn't directly integrate into the franchise page. The former should already be found in the TV series' page and the latter seems unnecessary and had no proper sources. Any record sales should be filed under the credited product, not paraded in some big table with no sense of financial proportion. I'm interested to hear if you think I have left too many or the wrong things out. Ode2joy ( talk) 09:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern (and other Eva fans),
I recently came across a website called Manganation containing scanlations of the manga version of NGE. I'm glad that I found this, because here in the UK none of the Evangelion mangas have been released, so its nice to finally come across this. It'll be interesting to see how the manga version compares with the anime version. zictor23 ( talk) 21:03, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwern. As you may know, WP:VG had been using your anime CSE until around 2009 when a member of WP:VG created a new CSE but forgot to list his name, instead leaving you as the contact in case of problems. Since then I can see you've gotten a couple of comments on this subject (e.g. this and this) which must be rather bothersome. So I just wanted to let you know that I've created a new pair of CSEs for WP:VG now and so you can direct any further complaints or error reports to me if you wish. Happy editing. - Thibbs ( talk) 04:26, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gwerne,
Regarding the manga, I haven't read much of it. I was just curious to see how it ends, compared with the anime. One thing I have heard is that manga Misato also sacrifices her own life to save Shinji. Also, from what I saw in one chapter, Ritsuko kills Gendo, apparently out of jealously for the fact that Gendo doesn't love her but apparently only loves Rei. I wonder if it'll have an open ending like EoE (which led Azuma Takeshi to write the brilliant Re-Take, to continue the story), or if things will turn out differently. zictor23 (contribs) 20:28 7 May 2012

Hi Gwern,
I think it was entirely appropriate to speedy delete the article at Toonami (Rebirth)-Adult Swim as opposed to redirecting it, and disagree with your creation of a redirect at that title. A redirect is useful if it is a likely search term or if there is a link from either within Wikipedia or outside Wikipedia using that title. In this case, I do not think the title is a likely search term. Someone might type "Toonami (Rebirth)" or "Toonami (Adult Swim)", but I don't think people are likely to type the whole string "Toonami (Rebirth)-Adult Swim". It also isn't linked from any articles in Wikipedia, and is unlikely to be linked from outside Wikipedia as it was recently created. This seems to me to be exactly the sort of thing that speedy deletion criterion A10 was created to delete. Calathan ( talk) 18:18, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Dear Gwern! Is this request still open? -- Doc Taxon ( talk) 20:36, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Okay, there’s obviously some personal animosity between you two, so I’m going to humbly suggest that you both simply avoid looking at each other’s edits until such time as you can be civil and mature toward each other. I haven’t looked into either user’s editing history, but it seems clear to me just from this exchange that one (if not both) of you is in the habit of personally attacking the other. Things shouldn’t be made personal here, and egos should not get in the way of being constructive—whether that’s adding pages of quality content, or explaining the concept of WP:cruft to a well-meaning contributor.
In short: Be civil to each other (at least in public view), or leave each other alone. — Frungi ( talk) 07:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
@Gwern: you really dont follow my edits. I dont edit in Eva articles because of you. I do research and add info to several other articles. I recently added to Neon Genesis Evangelion:Death and Rebirth.
@Goodraise. Do you ever leave it be? This isnt your battle, so why try to be the wikipolice if you dont even care about the details of the situation nor do you want to help either of us. All you did last time is try scare tactic. I grow weary of this and i want to edit the Eva articles, but it aint happening because the editing that i believe needs to be done is summarizing heavily unnecesary detailed info. And all that is what Gwern has contributed. So i draw my hands....i may have been uncivil in the beginning, but just the thpught of both of you in the same discussion is just at a level of a migrane.

Suggesting blocking both of us. Attempting to threaten. Al of that for a dispute you didnt really involve you.And its nothing to do with winning a battle, it has to do with the reasons behind why one "battle" is won. You represent everything that i have a problem with wikipedia, on how people can sleeze out of discussions when its convenient to them and stalk and deny things when it comes to their personal interest. You may have no "need" for avoiding me, but i do. And no, you dont edit any article really that goes within my scopes. All i see you do is comment in wikiprojects that im part of. So i ask you again to avoid me, you give me migranes and i dont ever want to talk to you. Lucia Black ( talk) 00:34, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

You need to read up on WP:V and WP:BRD, as I've already reverted the information out, twice now, and adding it back will be viewed as warring.

Seems A&M has a bit of a problem. I hope you see me as a worthwhile addition to the sector, I am not a major scholar, but I do try my best and NGE holds a special place in my heart. It was the first anime I ever did an academic paper on! I spent maybe 20-30 hours with the material and analyzing and comparing my notes to other reviewers and academics. I had like 20+ pages of notes of the theology and symbolism alone. And, while I am well aware of that infamous interviews with the Christian symbols being simply "foreign" and of no "Christian message", but such was said of FLCL. People do see deeper meanings in anything they want to see deeper meaning in, but after a certain point some sense rises up that "something" deliberate is being done. Shinji and Asuka's path across the Sephirot seems more than just "monster of the week" and given by all the attention spent in drawing and maintaining these symbolic presences, the artists or at least the supervisors had to be aware that intentional development is occurring. Studying "things" people seldom care about can lead to some amazing insights into how "the world" works. Maybe you could share your thoughts with me about it. I'd like to hear more.
