I removed the images on the Template because just recently I heard that we can't use alot of fair use images on episode lists.
I had a problem with the Pokemon episode lists for the same reason, if you don't agree with me please goto the ANI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Edit_war_over_too_many_fair_use_images_on_one_page

The Lost WikiProject Award | ||
Congratulations on Lost (TV series) making it to main page featured article. Your hard work on the Lost WikiProject is appreciated! -- Elonka 00:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC) |
Thanks! However many of Dark Shikari Bot's recent additions have been Naruto stubs of which there are hundreds. I thought I was finished :( -- Squilibob 07:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
What are you doing destroying all the episodes? There was a Keep vote rendered for them all under the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naruto Episodes. shadzar| Talk| contribs 04:46, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
hello, I was looking at your nedbot and I thought the button was a linked image. I tried to right click to bring up the image but clicked the button. I don't have admin status (obviously) and so the bot was unaffected. I don't know if such attempts are logged though so I wanted to drop a line and let you know it was accidental. Naufana : talk 07:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I created an amendment for fair use in portals, as well as submitted to village pump, see here: Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals#Also. It would be great if you could express your support there. ddcc 21:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about adding quite a few fair use image onto non-article pages. I didn't realise that they weren't allowed on these pages.
Is there any images that we can use on the My Chemical Romance WikiProject page and template within the fair use guidelines?-- Lotrgamemast 18:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, do you think you8 could do me a favor an pop over to the Because I'm the Goddess article at some point to check for formatting issues and categorization? Michael Hopcroft 19:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that RPA template on Somerset219's Talk page. I didn't want to respond because I said I would not pursue the discussion further, and because I suspected there was no way for me to elicit civility at that point. But that was the harshest bit of name-calling I've received on WP to date. I'm glad to know now what to do if something like that happens again - and it's good to see those words go away without my engaging this person again. I really appreciate it! Karen | Talk | contribs 06:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Please tell me what you think is wrong about WP:DDV. Do you think it was made in violation of our process to make guidelines? Do you think Wikipedia does use (majority) voting on a regular basis? Please don't cite only RFA, which seems to be the exception rather than the rule, and whose process is already under dispute elsewhere. Do you think Wikipedia should use (majority) voting on a regular basis? Is AFD a (majority) vote? What about RFC? Should disputes be resolved through straw polling? Should people be able to make a motion, call an aye/nay vote on it and have it stick? Please explain your opinion. >Radiant< 10:50, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Feel free to comment on the page at Wikipedia talk:Discuss, don't vote. The more people who are commenting on its status or its future text, the sooner this outstanding issue will get resolved one way or another. — Saxifrage ✎ 19:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned Scott, thanks for your support on my request for adminship.
The final outcome was a robust 62/1/1, so I am now an administrator. If you ever have any questions about my actions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I don't feel strongly about modifying the Samurai Champloo episode pages. If they are left as they are, they still meet our needs. I'm a big fan of the wikiproject templates, though; I like to standardize the LOE pages as much as possible. It was funny when you gave a B to List of Scrapped Princess episodes (which I worked on), you said "dang, at this rate it will be a B before I go to bed :)," which was amusing. Anyways, List of Outlaw Star episodes needs to be evaluated again. Thanks, Peregrinefisher 07:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Please don't take a shortcut used to link to one page for another page. Notably, I've used WP:EPISODE on the Mailing list as well as on my userpage. -- Chris chat edits essays 17:08, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I noticed your little "slip-up", and I would like to apologize if it seems I am showing you any aggression. I have no problem with you as a person or an editor. I think you and I are both mature enough to handle our disagreement like gentlemen. I think we've each made our points known and we can let the others decide at this point, since I doubt the decision will be made based on which one of gets the last word. So, I hope you and I won't have to continue arguing. Jay32183 04:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Per your suggestion, I started this: Wikipedia_talk:Fair_use#Request_for_proposals_on_Threshold_of_High_Resolution-- Fahrenheit451 03:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
You may want to read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lostpedia (second nomination) and then look at there contribs, that anon is a sysop at that wiki and is only casting his opinion as delete as bad faith because i am against inclusion of a spam article. thanks/ Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 07:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't think WP:NC would apply here, as it's not the title of the article he was changing. The original title of the episode has the exclamation points in them, and they shouldn't have been removed without a valid reason. -- Core des at 04:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your recent attempted change to Wikipedia:WikiProject Lost/Episode guidelines, please keep in mind that those guidelines were the result of extensive discussion, as well as a formal mediation which resulted in unanimous agreement. It is not appropriate to simply come in and make a major change to those guidelines, especially without even an attempt at discussion on the talkpage. If you have concerns, you are encouraged to bring them up, but in the meantime, please respect the consensus decision. -- Elonka 16:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Please stop engaging in move wars. The proper way to handle this is via civil discussion, at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Lost/Episode guidelines, not in yanking articles back and forth. -- Elonka 08:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I see you edit the seperate Digimon episode pages alot. But recently the Pokemon episode(s) articles are being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Please place a vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Here Comes the Squirtle Squad. Thank you for your time. Pokeant (00:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC))
Hello, I see you have contributed your thoughts to Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Fair use images in lists. It's been dead for a while, but I have archived it and taken a new fresh start. I hope this time we will be able to achieve something as I have summarized the main points of both sides (feel free to improve them) and I call you to express your support or oppose on the concrete proposal that I have formulated. Thanks, Renata 02:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, I am concerned about some of your recent edit summaries, especially where you are using a very angry tone, including profanity. [1] [2]. Can I please encourage you to re-read WP:CIVIL? -- Elonka 09:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, I believe that you have been uncivil in most of your exchanges with me, in the form of condescension and snarkiness. I suggest that you knock it off and adhere to the WP:CIVIL policy. By treating others in an uncivil manner, you are inviting them to treat you likewise. -- Fahrenheit451 21:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, you continue to be critical, but on NO occasion have you offered a definition of "resolution". Again, knock off the make wrong and be civil.-- Fahrenheit451 03:53, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
You really need to cool down Ned, you make valuable edits but recently some of your edits (namely to WikiProjects -- without a consensus) have been very rude. I ask you to cool down and stop making significant changes to projects and "their" children pages and come to the discussion board to get a consensus. thanks/ Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 08:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, while you have some good points to make in these and other discussions, and I think you're a valued editor here at Wikipedia, I need to say gently that I too am concerned at what I see in terms of frequent civility breakdowns in your interactions and especially your edit summaries, per the examples given above. I also asked you to tone those down back in June, here. No one is denying you your right to participate in heated debate, but let's all try to be respectful of one another. Thanks for listening. -- PKtm 04:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Ned. As it happens, I had already seen that RfA and was getting ready to post when I got your comment. Thanks for letting me know, anyway. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 20:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't think you're following my point: Wikipedia policy is that external wikis aren't reliable sources for articles. Now, you say that if we use their content, we have to source them in some way, per the GFDL. I agree. But there's no case where we COULD do that. I.E., say that CNN does an interview and it's so good that we want to quote a transcript of the interview from their site. In that case, we're just using their content, as a raw material, to directly quote it. Well, if we directly quote CNN for educational purposes, that's fair use, regardless. The same applies to WikiFur's GFDL license. And even if Fair Use didn't exist, there's no conceivable reason we'd use their content on Wikipedia, other than to just write an article. And articles written in such a manner aren't reliable. We can't have wikis sourced in other wikis sourced in other wikis, and so on. Robocracy 06:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
The page is over a 100k and number of users and at least one admin asked for it. How can you make such drastic and radical reverts without discussing it first? Not very civil.-- Eupator 13:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
The way I read that is you cant use a template for a signature not that you cant have a tempalate in your signature. Am I reading it wrong? -- Argash | talk | contribs | 06:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
The presence of this template is hardly necessary in the list articles; it is already at the main page, formatted incorrectly, and is irrelevant. Furthermore, I also corrected grammatical errors. Please don't revert me again. 65.29.167.251 06:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello! Thank for your help getting the List of Sailor Moon episodes looking as good as it does. ^^ I have a question about it. Somebody recently noticed that there are two episode 40s in English, and spent a lot of time reordering all the episode numbers in order to "fix" this. What's actually going in is that the two episodes were combined into one. Is there some way to merge those two cells (some kind of rowspan trick) so that that doesn't happen again? Do you know? -- Masamage 19:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, do you by any chance use any of the instant messaging clients, such as AIM or Google Talk? Or do you use IRC? I get the feeling that if we could actually chat at a more rapid rate, we could probably avoid some of the miscommunications that seem to be creeping in. -- Elonka 22:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Nothing I did hardly excuses a 48 hour + 48 hour block. I reverted something twice and InShaneee blocked based on bad faith. I blame him for violating more than five highly regarded policies. The fact that I try the patience of admins is a non-issue. If I try your patience enough that you will abuse your powers in frustration doesn't make you a victim, it makes you a bad admin. I'm nowhere near as bad as many users on Wikipedia, and if Shaneee can get pissed off enough to block me without me having violated any policy, it does not speak well for what he'd do to other users.
Basically, it's no surprise that an admin would defend an admin and try to claim that admin abuse is the fault of the blocked for getting on his nerves, not his inability to control himself. When I violate all of the policies he did, you can crucify me for it. But InShaneee did wrong, and his lack of maturity as an admin is no fault bit his own. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
If you're asking about Goku's power level when he powered up to fight Nappa, then no it was not over 9,000. His was over 8,000 (in the Shōnen Jump Manga that I own) and in the Japanese anime it was just 8,000. The Ocean Group dubb obviously changed this for some reason (and I'm not sure too sure of this but I think the uncut FUNimation dub did too) just to make Goku sound stronger. This caused some confusion among fans. They also rounded Piccolo's, Gohan's and Kuririn's power levels before their battle against the Saiyans just to give them an exact fighting power instead of what they actually had. Example: Gohan's power before fighting was rounded to 1,000 instead of the 981 Akira Toriyama gave him in the manga and the 981 that Toei gave him in the anime . Personally, I would go by the Japanese sources because they came first and, therefore, are considered canonical by all means. -- Power level ( Wanna talk? | Um, I did something recently) Power level (Dragon Ball) 14:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

...to respond to comments like this.

Stop instigating problems on WP:AUM. I don't know what you're after, but you're not a participant on the talk page, and haven't been a player. I don't know if you're just following me there from the TV naming convention dispute, but you are not help to progress anything forward. Judging by your main namespace recent edits, you seem more prone to revert rather than contribute, and more prone to revert than discuss on Talk, so please realize that you may not be working cooperatively lately. -- Netoholic @ 17:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

{{unblock|Totally uncalled for. From past discussions I've seen placing a neutral talk box at the top of talk pages (that would be directly effected by a major proposal) not only as acceptable, but as a good idea. Centrx only offered his personal opinion about promoting the discussion, and I didn't think he was leaving me such a message as a "warning". Before reverting his removal of the message I looked for any discussion about that removal first, and didn't find any. I didn't even think he had a strong feeling about the matter. and I add that no policy for guideline has been cited.

Please don't suggest that I have ownership issues because of my comments on the MfD of Coffee lounge/Games. I simply pointed out that it is likely to slant the vote having people who are not affected by the deletion vote to delete the page. That is not an ownership issue, nor is it inappropriate. This is in a grey area, but it might be considered to fall under WP:NPA. Al e thiophile Ask me why 03:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Could you please at least explain your reasoning and show that you've actually looked at the methodology and previous discussions? Please? Mak (talk) 05:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad you agree! Perhaps we could get this point reflected more explicitly at the highest levels... WP:NAME, WP:DAB, etc., and then have it trickle down to the lower levels like WP:TV-NC and WP:NC:CITY? -- Serge 06:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Well you might want to take a look at this book. The subtitle of the book is "Resemblances Between the Mental Lives of Savages and Neurotics". The upshot of the whole thing is that the processes giving rise to taboo cultures and the processes giving rise to neurotic illnesses (such as OCD) are developmentally and psychoanalytically very similar. That's why I added Taboo to that section (those studying OCD also seem to be interested in the subject of taboo). But in any case this is certainly not a big deal, and I'm not going to even bother adding Taboo back in the list - but you could do that if you want :) Sofeil 09:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry to bother you. You participated in a television episode article naming poll which now lives at this location. Some feel that wording changes have compromised the results of that poll. If you don't mind, could you please take a look at what is there now and add a quick note at WT:TV-NC#Looking for anyone who objects to the last poll to say whether your feelings on the matter remain the same? Of course you can feel free to read over the entirety of both links for more information. Thanks. — Wknight94 ( talk) 02:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Based on your comments at the MfD, I thought you might like to see how things are progressing with the Virtual classroom. We've moved on to our second lesson, though each lesson is continuous so that we can all benefit from the experience of new visitors as they arrive. I expect to learn a lot more from the interface share and compare discussions, for instance. So far, I've created a new tools page accessible from my userpage menu, inspired by all the ideas shared in those discussions.
The current lesson focuses on "stubbing," with a short course to kick off discussion provided by our resident expert on the subject, Grutness. Please feel free to add your expertise and questions.
To help keep track of what's going on, here's a template you can place at the top of your userpage or talk page:
Hope to see you at the Virtual classroom again soon. The Transhumanist 14:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you edited someone else's comment for clarity, spelling or grammar. As a rule, refrain from editing others' comments without their permission. Though it may appear helpful to correct typing errors, grammar, etc., please do not go out of your way to bring talk pages to publishing standards, since it is not terribly productive and will tend to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thanks, -- Elonka 04:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the link. But do you agree that the contrib history on Yaksha ( talk · contribs) and Izzy Dot ( talk · contribs) (to give two clear examples), look suspicious? -- Elonka 07:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Where did you find the in universe spots in the Battle Royale character articles?
Also, I would not suggest any sort of deletion to any of these articles. There are two acceptable options for fictional characters that have some presence in the story: keep and merge. All characters have names exclusive to the series, so simple redirects rectify the problems. All of the characters with articles (except for Mai, of course) have some sort of impact on the story.
By the way, I would gladly merge Mai into a minor character page. She's not notable enough to have her own article, though I would not delete the "Mai (Battle Royale)" - I would just redirect that to a minor character page.

Thanks for agreeing to allow WikiProject Psychology on the ADHD talk page. Actually, I strongly agree that both WikiProject Medicine and WikiProject Psychology should be listed on the article (and on similar articles), but since I'm not involved in WikiProject Medicine, I tend to forget to put its banner on pages. The field of psychology does study medical issues that affect behavior, but that's not meant to imply that they aren't legitimate medical problems as well. — Cswrye 15:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Ned, thanks for your comments. I feel KillerChihuahua can be a little bit awkward to deal with, but I think it's more crossed lines of communication rather than any malice. I've went through the remaining points and given opinions, what do you think? Douglasnicol 19:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I've seen you have added the "citation needed" for the bit that talks about fansubs on Anime. Well I haven't been long enough editing here to know how (and especially what and in what way) to cite wiki-properly, but I have found a pdf that talks about fansubs, with examples of cultural information inserted into the sub that a non-japanese viewer might not otherwise get here: http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/ahrb/script-ed/vol2-4/otaku_appendix.pdf I don't know if that helps as a citation but it would be very nice if you could look it up and add a citation if the source is useful. Thanks. Aetherfukz 01:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I have read all these things before about fictional writing. People know these characters are not real people, and that they are fictional. The in universe tags are stupid, pointless and confusing to people trying to read the pages. If you think the pages need editing then you edit them, and don't put up that silly tag. I stand by getting rid of the tags and will do everything I can to sort it out. Codu talk 13:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, I would like to add a quote from the "In Universe" section on the Manual of Style; "If you notice an article that predominantly describes a fictional topic from an in-universe perspective, or even provides no indication that a fictional subject is fictional, either improve it yourself or add the "In-universe" template to bring the issue to the attention of others". Please note the bit that I have highlighted. The first line on the character pages says "... is a fictional is a fictional character on the ABC television series Lost played by ..." I pretty much rest my case. The In Universe tags are not needed. Codu talk 14:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Please DO NOT MOVE the Tucson, Arizona article back to Tucson. This DOES NOT fall into the ESTABLISHED CONVENTION for U.S. city articles, and not exception has been granted for this city.

I'm a big fan of the wikiproject templates, though; I like to standardize the LOE pages as much as possible. It was funny when you gave a B to List of Scrapped Princess episodes (which I worked on), you said "dang, at this rate it will be a B before I go to bed :)," which was amusing. Anyways, List of Outlaw Star episodes needs to be evaluated again. Thanks, Peregrinefisher 07:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I noticed your little "slip-up", and I would like to apologize if it seems I am showing you any aggression. I have no problem with you as a person or an editor. I think you and I are both mature enough to handle our disagreement like gentlemen. I think we've each made our points known and we can let the others decide at this point, since I doubt the decision will be made based on which one of gets the last word. So, I hope you and I won't have to continue arguing. Jay32183 04:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think WP:NC would apply here, as it's not the title of the article he was changing. The original title of the episode has the exclamation points in them, and they shouldn't have been removed without a valid reason. -- Core des at 04:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your recent attempted change to Wikipedia:WikiProject Lost/Episode guidelines, please keep in mind that those guidelines were the result of extensive discussion, as well as a formal mediation which resulted in unanimous agreement. It is not appropriate to simply come in and make a major change to those guidelines, especially without even an attempt at discussion on the talkpage. If you have concerns, you are encouraged to bring them up, but in the meantime, please respect the consensus decision. -- Elonka 16:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Please stop engaging in move wars. The proper way to handle this is via civil discussion, at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Lost/Episode guidelines, not in yanking articles back and forth. -- Elonka 08:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I see you edit the seperate Digimon episode pages alot. But recently the Pokemon episode(s) articles are being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

Hello, I see you have contributed your thoughts to Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Fair use images in lists. It's been dead for a while, but I have archived it and taken a new fresh start. I hope this time we will be able to achieve something as I have summarized the main points of both sides (feel free to improve them) and I call you to express your support or oppose on the concrete proposal that I have formulated. Thanks, Renata 02:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, I am concerned about some of your recent edit summaries, especially where you are using a very angry tone, including profanity. [1] [2]. Can I please encourage you to re-read WP:CIVIL? -- Elonka 09:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, I believe that you have been uncivil in most of your exchanges with me, in the form of condescension and snarkiness. I suggest that you knock it off and adhere to the WP:CIVIL policy. By treating others in an uncivil manner, you are inviting them to treat you likewise. -- Fahrenheit451 21:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, you continue to be critical, but on NO occasion have you offered a definition of "resolution". Again, knock off the make wrong and be civil.-- Fahrenheit451 03:53, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
You really need to cool down Ned, you make valuable edits but recently some of your edits (namely to WikiProjects -- without a consensus) have been very rude. I ask you to cool down and stop making significant changes to projects and "their" children pages and come to the discussion board to get a consensus. thanks/ Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 08:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Ned, while you have some good points to make in these and other discussions, and I think you're a valued editor here at Wikipedia, I need to say gently that I too am concerned at what I see in terms of frequent civility breakdowns in your interactions and especially your edit summaries, per the examples given above. I also asked you to tone those down back in June, here. No one is denying you your right to participate in heated debate, but let's all try to be respectful of one another. Thanks for listening. -- PKtm 04:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Ned. As it happens, I had already seen that RfA and was getting ready to post when I got your comment. Thanks for letting me know, anyway. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 20:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't think you're following my point: Wikipedia policy is that external wikis aren't reliable sources for articles. Now, you say that if we use their content, we have to source them in some way, per the GFDL. I agree. But there's no case where we COULD do that. I.E., say that CNN does an interview and it's so good that we want to quote a transcript of the interview from their site. In that case, we're just using their content, as a raw material, to directly quote it. Well, if we directly quote CNN for educational purposes, that's fair use, regardless. The same applies to WikiFur's GFDL license. And even if Fair Use didn't exist, there's no conceivable reason we'd use their content on Wikipedia, other than to just write an article. And articles written in such a manner aren't reliable. We can't have wikis sourced in other wikis sourced in other wikis, and so on. Robocracy 06:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
The page is over a 100k and number of users and at least one admin asked for it. How can you make such drastic and radical reverts without discussing it first? Not very civil.-- Eupator 13:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
The way I read that is you cant use a template for a signature not that you cant have a tempalate in your signature. Am I reading it wrong? -- Argash | talk | contribs | 06:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
The presence of this template is hardly necessary in the list articles; it is already at the main page, formatted incorrectly, and is irrelevant. Furthermore, I also corrected grammatical errors. Please don't revert me again. 65.29.167.251 06:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello! Thank for your help getting the List of Sailor Moon episodes looking as good as it does. ^^ I have a question about it. Somebody recently noticed that there are two episode 40s in English, and spent a lot of time reordering all the episode numbers in order to "fix" this. What's actually going in is that the two episodes were combined into one. Is there some way to merge those two cells (some kind of rowspan trick) so that that doesn't happen again? Do you know? -- Masamage 19:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, do you by any chance use any of the instant messaging clients, such as AIM or Google Talk? Or do you use IRC? I get the feeling that if we could actually chat at a more rapid rate, we could probably avoid some of the miscommunications that seem to be creeping in. -- Elonka 22:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Nothing I did hardly excuses a 48 hour + 48 hour block. I reverted something twice and InShaneee blocked based on bad faith. I blame him for violating more than five highly regarded policies. The fact that I try the patience of admins is a non-issue. If I try your patience enough that you will abuse your powers in frustration doesn't make you a victim, it makes you a bad admin. I'm nowhere near as bad as many users on Wikipedia, and if Shaneee can get pissed off enough to block me without me having violated any policy, it does not speak well for what he'd do to other users.
Basically, it's no surprise that an admin would defend an admin and try to claim that admin abuse is the fault of the blocked for getting on his nerves, not his inability to control himself. When I violate all of the policies he did, you can crucify me for it. But InShaneee did wrong, and his lack of maturity as an admin is no fault bit his own. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
If you're asking about Goku's power level when he powered up to fight Nappa, then no it was not over 9,000. His was over 8,000 (in the Shōnen Jump Manga that I own) and in the Japanese anime it was just 8,000. The Ocean Group dubb obviously changed this for some reason (and I'm not sure too sure of this but I think the uncut FUNimation dub did too) just to make Goku sound stronger. This caused some confusion among fans. They also rounded Piccolo's, Gohan's and Kuririn's power levels before their battle against the Saiyans just to give them an exact fighting power instead of what they actually had. Example: Gohan's power before fighting was rounded to 1,000 instead of the 981 Akira Toriyama gave him in the manga and the 981 that Toei gave him in the anime . Personally, I would go by the Japanese sources because they came first and, therefore, are considered canonical by all means. -- Power level ( Wanna talk? | Um, I did something recently) Power level (Dragon Ball) 14:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

...to respond to comments like this.

Stop instigating problems on WP:AUM. I don't know what you're after, but you're not a participant on the talk page, and haven't been a player. I don't know if you're just following me there from the TV naming convention dispute, but you are not help to progress anything forward. Judging by your main namespace recent edits, you seem more prone to revert rather than contribute, and more prone to revert than discuss on Talk, so please realize that you may not be working cooperatively lately. -- Netoholic @ 17:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

{{unblock|Totally uncalled for. From past discussions I've seen placing a neutral talk box at the top of talk pages (that would be directly effected by a major proposal) not only as acceptable, but as a good idea. Centrx only offered his personal opinion about promoting the discussion, and I didn't think he was leaving me such a message as a "warning". Before reverting his removal of the message I looked for any discussion about that removal first, and didn't find any. I didn't even think he had a strong feeling about the matter. and I add that no policy for guideline has been cited. Other than his message above, this is the first time I've seen anyone have such an objection to this method of requesting comments. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 05:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC) }}

Please don't suggest that I have ownership issues because of my comments on the MfD of Coffee lounge/Games. I simply pointed out that it is likely to slant the vote having people who are not affected by the deletion vote to delete the page. That is not an ownership issue, nor is it inappropriate.

I'm glad you agree! Perhaps we could get this point reflected more explicitly at the highest levels... WP:NAME, WP:DAB, etc., and then have it trickle down to the lower levels like WP:TV-NC and WP:NC:CITY? -- Serge 06:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Well you might want to take a look at this book. The subtitle of the book is "Resemblances Between the Mental Lives of Savages and Neurotics". The upshot of the whole thing is that the processes giving rise to taboo cultures and the processes giving rise to neurotic illnesses (such as OCD) are developmentally and psychoanalytically very similar. That's why I added Taboo to that section (those studying OCD also seem to be interested in the subject of taboo). But in any case this is certainly not a big deal, and I'm not going to even bother adding Taboo back in the list - but you could do that if you want :) Sofeil 09:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry to bother you. You participated in a television episode article naming poll which now lives at this location. Some feel that wording changes have compromised the results of that poll. If you don't mind, could you please take a look at what is there now and add a quick note at WT:TV-NC#Looking for anyone who objects to the last poll to say whether your feelings on the matter remain the same? Of course you can feel free to read over the entirety of both links for more information. Thanks. — Wknight94 ( talk) 02:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Based on your comments at the MfD, I thought you might like to see how things are progressing with the Virtual classroom. We've moved on to our second lesson, though each lesson is continuous so that we can all benefit from the experience of new visitors as they arrive. I expect to learn a lot more from the interface share and compare discussions, for instance. So far, I've created a new tools page accessible from my userpage menu, inspired by all the ideas shared in those discussions.
The current lesson focuses on "stubbing," with a short course to kick off discussion provided by our resident expert on the subject, Grutness. Please feel free to add your expertise and questions.
To help keep track of what's going on, here's a template you can place at the top of your userpage or talk page:
Hope to see you at the Virtual classroom again soon. The Transhumanist 14:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you edited someone else's comment for clarity, spelling or grammar. As a rule, refrain from editing others' comments without their permission. Though it may appear helpful to correct typing errors, grammar, etc., please do not go out of your way to bring talk pages to publishing standards, since it is not terribly productive and will tend to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thanks, -- Elonka 04:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Where did you find the in universe spots in the Battle Royale character articles?
Also, I would not suggest any sort of deletion to any of these articles. There are two acceptable options for fictional characters that have some presence in the story: keep and merge. All characters have names exclusive to the series, so simple redirects rectify the problems. All of the characters with articles (except for Mai, of course) have some sort of impact on the story.
By the way, I would gladly merge Mai into a minor character page. She's not notable enough to have her own article, though I would not delete the "Mai (Battle Royale)" - I would just redirect that to a minor character page.

Thanks for agreeing to allow WikiProject Psychology on the ADHD talk page. Actually, I strongly agree that both WikiProject Medicine and WikiProject Psychology should be listed on the article (and on similar articles), but since I'm not involved in WikiProject Medicine, I tend to forget to put its banner on pages. The field of psychology does study medical issues that affect behavior, but that's not meant to imply that they aren't legitimate medical problems as well. — Cswrye 15:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Ned, thanks for your comments. I feel KillerChihuahua can be a little bit awkward to deal with, but I think it's more crossed lines of communication rather than any malice. I've went through the remaining points and given opinions, what do you think? Douglasnicol 19:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I've seen you have added the "citation needed" for the bit that talks about fansubs on Anime. Well I haven't been long enough editing here to know how (and especially what and in what way) to cite wiki-properly, but I have found a pdf that talks about fansubs, with examples of cultural information inserted into the sub that a non-japanese viewer might not otherwise get here: http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/ahrb/script-ed/vol2-4/otaku_appendix.pdf I don't know if that helps as a citation but it would be very nice if you could look it up and add a citation if the source is useful. Thanks. Aetherfukz 01:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I have read all these things before about fictional writing. People know these characters are not real people, and that they are fictional. The in universe tags are stupid, pointless and confusing to people trying to read the pages. If you think the pages need editing then you edit them, and don't put up that silly tag. I stand by getting rid of the tags and will do everything I can to sort it out. Codu talk 13:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, I would like to add a quote from the "In Universe" section on the Manual of Style; "If you notice an article that predominantly describes a fictional topic from an in-universe perspective, or even provides no indication that a fictional subject is fictional, either improve it yourself or add the "In-universe" template to bring the issue to the attention of others". Please note the bit that I have highlighted. The first line on the character pages says "... is a fictional is a fictional character on the ABC television series Lost played by ..." I pretty much rest my case. The In Universe tags are not needed. Codu talk 14:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Please DO NOT MOVE the Tucson, Arizona article back to Tucson. This DOES NOT fall into the ESTABLISHED CONVENTION for U.S. city articles, and not exception has been granted for this city.
