Nothing appeared on the beaches from the cargo area below - such as packing crates, luggage, electoric equipment, sports and musical equipment etc.[citation needed]" I will try a bit more. But I think that you are requesting the citation for the last part about nothing appearing from the cargo area, rather than all the first part about all that was recovered and it being from the cabin area. I do have the citation for that. Am I correct that the citation request is for the last part?

When performing the above stated move, you have accidentally separated the article from its talk page, resulting in a talk page at both the current article's location ( Talk:Keihanshin) and at the redirect's location ( Talk:Osaka-Kobe-KyotoKeihanshin). Can you fix this? Thanks! JPG-GR ( talk) 05:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I'd like to work on getting all of that creation information reformatted and trimmed down for now, as I tried before I left. Currently, the information is just thrown down onto the articles without any real format or regard for importance. Examples include the notes of L's design in three different places at once and a trivial little note about a fighting style (that's the kind of info for a Death Note wiki). After that, I'd like to go on to merging those articles back to the main one if true reception cannot be found, but that can be worried about later. Is this something we can work out? TTN ( talk) 21:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Okay, I already have some reception for Light, L, and Misa (as of writing she has the most). I suppose I could find more (maybe related to the film) - In addition the person who reviewed the episodes that have L, Light, and Misa in them has not reviewed the ones with Near and Mello yet, so I suppose he will give reception relating to those characters when he gets to those. Also when the films are released in the USA more people will review it and it will be easier to add more reception to the film versions of the characters.

Regarding information in different places, reorganizing is fine. Which sentences should I group together?

Regarding information like the fighting style, what is best is to ask on the talk page and see if the information belongs in the article. The Death Note Wikia now exists, so I suppose this could be transferred there if there is a consensus that the "capoeira" fighting style bit is not encyclopedic. WhisperToMe ( talk) 21:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

The current reception is fairly lackluster at this point. IGN really isn't that great of a site for anime reviews, especially if they're only from one person (unless the anime and manga project has had some large discussion on it that I never saw or something). That's not to say that it wouldn't work as supplemental information, but it's pretty much filler on it's own. It just doesn't support wide standing notability. Other specific information can be mixed in well elsewhere if that's all there is at the moment.

It's not just about rearranging the information. It's about combining it to have it flow well, removing the whole "X said, Y said" formatting. Take a look at the revision I made to the list a while ago, if you can find it, to see what I mean. TTN ( talk) 21:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Which sites would make more meaningful anime commentary? Surely one of them would have reviewed Death Note too and I would find commentary specific to characters. That would be great as it could maybe show differing perspectives in the anime and/or manga portrayals of the characters. The main reason why I had X said, Y said is that the information is from a primary or quasi-primary source, but if consensus deems that not needed I could trim that down. However there were two people involved so it helps to explain which person made which decisions. IMO stuff that is definately in the Wikia territory is in-universe content that is very specific to the series.

I'll go through this revision [2] and evaluate it in a bit... WhisperToMe ( talk) 21:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Regarding the revision, I believe that the general style is fine but that it should strive to keep as much information as possible that is non-trivial. For instance, the following were missing in the TTN revision:

Fact that Ohba had created "Ryuzaki" alias excluded - the reasoning for the alias is still there, but it does not mention Ohba made the decision

That Obata made L's appearance contrast to Light's and that Obata and Ohba held the idea is not there.

Ohba including ideas in the thumbnails after leaving the design to Obata

What I would suggest is to reorganize but in a way that keeps the information. If you feel a bit is trivial remove it and place the quote on the talk page so we could discuss how and why it is trivial and see what other editors think. WhisperToMe ( talk) 22:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

That's one of the main problems with trying to get good reception sections going for single characters. Sites like IGN and the like are good for breading (the information from them shouldn't be more than a sentence or two), but there is hardly any meat out there. I have yet to see any anime or DVD review site that amounts to anything more than amateur/fan writing, and even using those hardly builds an accurate reception section that truly shows how the character is notable. Maybe the project has some good links?

I understand the mindset of that, but it's really just unnecessary and it really leaves out any potential for FA-style writing. The point is to take the thoughts of those two and combine them into one nicely worded section that leaves a good impression of what they're trying to get across. That's what I tried to do in my revision. Though, note that was only the first pass (that's why I missed including some of the information mentioned above also). The final version would probably be much better. TTN ( talk) 22:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Well, the reason why I chose IGN is that the site is very prominent (think of Rotten Tomatoes, which is now owned by IGN) and that the reviewer is a staff member of the site. There are probably other sites like this which have notability and prominent reviewers, but I am not sure where they are. Do you think the best step is to try paring down reception sections of individual characters and posting the revisions in the talk pages? Maybe people will see whether the revisions work. WhisperToMe ( talk) 22:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I would certainly say that it's very prominent in the area of video game reviews, which would allow for something the size of Misa's reception to be placed in a game article, but when it comes to everything else, it's more of a footnote. It's mentioned in reception sections of some of our television show and film FAs, but it never has much weight. The same should go for anime as well, I imagine.

I guess that would be a decent method, but I really think the best thing to do in this case would be to combine trimmed versions of all of the current character articles back into the one list, and work towards a style similar to Characters of Carnivàle. Then after the information is complied, it'll give a good view of the necessary weight of the characters, and allow for nice compact articles to be split off again, if it comes to that. But, if we're just working to get the current articles trimmed and formatted, the former idea works fine. TTN ( talk) 22:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

What we could do is see if we can merge back Near (Death Note) and Mello (Death Note) after information is consolidated. IMO for now the current articles should be formatted well. WhisperToMe ( talk) 23:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I guess I'll attempt it sometime today or tomorrow then. If you have concerns about them, can you try to edit them to your liking instead of just reverting right back? If they have to be flipped completely turned around a few times, that's fine, but that's better than going back to square one. TTN ( talk) 00:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I've noticed these articles for a while, and am always impressed with the amount of work editors contributing to anime or video game character articles put into them. As someone who has added real-world impact/ notability to several soap opera character articles, with many more to go, I always appreciate character articles that already have that (one or the other, or both). It's great to go to a character article and see more than just plot. I just stopped by the Near (Death Note) article to see if he's L's son, and enjoyed reading the creation and concept for him. I wish he was L's son, though. Him and Mello (Death Note). A least one of the creators thought about making them L's sons. I started watching that show online (in Japanese) first, then got behind when my computer broke down (though both of my computers are currently broke down at the moment; been using PlayStation 3 to communicate online) and now I've been watching from the beginning (in English) on television.

I'm still working on a close-up of Ball HS (see the comment I left on my talk page), but yesterday when I drove by, school had just let out, and I couldn't stop to take a photo.

I did upload a photo of the old Dominican HS to Wiki Commons. [4]. If you can think of anywhere it might fit in (former schools section?) by all means, use it. :-)

Gonna try to head by Ball in a bit and try again at getting a close-up photo. -- Nsaum75 ( talk) 19:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Lexington & Richland County School District Five, 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.

My issue with the page was that it did nothing to assert her notability. It essentially said "Pai Ping-ping is an actress from Taiwan, Republic of China. For a period she had married Ikki Kajiwara. She had a daughter Pai Hsiao-yen." That was completely what it covered, in very few more words. Acting doesn't by definition establish notability, or there would an article for Ciara Hughes. I have no objection to the article returning if it at least contains enough to guide the reader to her notability, but as it existed, it said nothing. What work did she do, what TV shows, what films, what is she known for? Just undeleting it doesn't help it. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 19:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Pai Ping-ping has been undeleted as per your request. Notice that as written at the deletion point, it did not assert notability and had no RS, nor any editor requested a hangon. That is not to say that it cannot be asserted of course. If you feel it can get to that point I see no problem with it. Cheers. -- Alexf ⁴² 21:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC) reply

In response to your question-

"[1] - Which episode is this? WhisperToMe (talk) 02:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)"

I wish I could remember-it's the one where Rocko's favorite shirt is stolen, and he frantically tries to get it back. All I can remember is how Rocko kept the shirt in an ultra-secure underground vault, and at the end he met another wallaby old enough to be his grandfather, who said "this old rag? It's the family colors!" in reference to his shirt, which was exactly the same as the one owned by Rocko, which led Rocko to initially think the other wallaby was the one who stole his shirt. I haven't seen the actual show in at least fifteen years.

SBISD designates feeder schools for the school district. For example, if you go to Wilchester Elementary, you go to Memorial Junior High and then you are fed into Stratford. A private school is not a feeder school for any school in SBISD, just like a public school is not a feeder school for a private one. To say otherwise implies some kind of connection or coordination between the schools, when there is none. Besides, given the fact that Memorial is only grades 9-12, every student there attended a different school before they attend Memorial, so the fact that one student is cited as attending a different school before going to Memorial may be verifiable, but it is not particularly noteworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.80.94.228 ( talk) 18:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi Whisper to Me:

I notice you have started to recategorise countries in Diplomatic missions of the Republic of China and Diplomatic missions of Mexico

Earlier we had considered doing exactly the same thing, to make it reflect the UN Geocode scheme (which your edits roughly follow in taxonomy and nomenclature, albeit only for Asia). However it would be a considerable amount of work to do, and we would rather have a consistent style in these articles than make piecemeal changes.

There are 180+ such articles - do you really want to undertake all these changes?

Kransky ( talk) 01:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Good to see some initiative. But before you continue could you please add your suggestion to Category talk:Diplomatic missions by country? You should check out the UN Geocode template - it is also used in the articles for airline destinations by country.

I notice that you have only done the changes for Asia - if we are going to subcategorise countries we should do it for all continents, or not at all. Kransky ( talk) 02:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

If we are going to be consistent we should be consistent for all continents. But I suspect after you have modified the 40th article you will be asking yourself what value does this recategorisation bring? Myself and others have worked on this articles for some time, and we do not feel it is necessary. Kransky ( talk) 02:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Under the Geoscheme you would have one category for the Americas, then 'Northern America', 'Latin America' and the Caribbean'. Please refer to the United Nations geoscheme.

Could I suggest you do a few more, then seek consensus from other editors who have contributed here for some time. If we are going to make such a major change there would need to be consensus. I would welcome recategorising the continents, but only if it is done correctly. Kransky ( talk) 03:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Okay, thanks for that explanation on the edit summaries, but it could be controversial (or perhaps more accurately, simply incorrect) to claim a book is a work of fiction when it's not, James Frey notwithstanding. And I'm certain you already know this, but "novel" is not synonymous with "book"; a novel is a work of fiction. As far as the bit that you removed goes, I am going to put it back but with changes, because I agree, "helpful" is POV and doesn't belong.

A merge does not mean that the article is not notable on its own, but that there is not enough info to make a good article.

I'm not claiming in the article that she's one of the most well known, I'm just assuming this due to recent activity in the anime world.

Criterion 8 at WP:FUC for significance, or necessity, is under dispute, so while some may argue that having Kotonoha there is a violation, others won't. Plus, it's the only image in the article.

I am not personally familiar with him or any of the things he's done which is why I didn't want to do any extensive editing. I would say that anything major (that's made the news) he's done, championing a drug-free programs for example. That kind of thing. Also, if possible, you could like to content in the Houston ISD wiki page, but I don't know if there is content already there. — Calebrw ( talk) 19:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Hello,

I am a master student at the Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Currently I am wrapping up my master thesis titled “Can Wikipedia be used for knowledge service?” In order to validate the knowledge evolution maps of identified users in Wikipedia, I need your help. I have generated a knowledge evolution map to denote your knowledge activities in Wikipedia according to your inputs including the creation and modification of contents in Wikipedia, and I need you to validate whether the generated knowledge evolution map matches the knowledge that you perceive you own it. Could you please do me a favor?

1. I will send you a URL link to a webpage on which your knowledge evolution map displays. Please assign the topic (concept) in the map to a certain cluster on the map according to the relationship between the topic and clusters in your cognition, or you can assign it to ‘none of above’ if there is no suitable cluster.
2. I will also send a questionnaire to you. The questions are related to my research topic, and I need your viewpoints about these questions.

The deadline of my thesis defense is set by the end of June, 2008. There is no much time left for me to wrap up the thesis. If you can help me, please reply this message. I will send you the URL link of the first part once I receive your response. The completion of my thesis heavily relies much on your generous help.

Sincerely

Hi, Russavia is currently removing the "Category:Diplomatic Missions by country" tag from these articles. His reason relates to putting articles in categories and sub-categories - you may read it on his talk page. I do not share his view, nor do I think it was prudent for him to make the changes without consulting first. Please make your judgement on this matter and advise him on his talk page. Kransky ( talk) 12:08, 21 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Notwithstanding protests by others, and without providing a reason that we can be satisfied with, Russavia has continued to implement his changes that degrade the Diplomatic Missions by Country the articles. Most recently he has added a list of ambassadors to Diplomatic missions of Russia.

I have written to him a sterner note on his talk page, stating that the Diplomatic missions by country tag belong to articles, not to category pages. Unless a consensus emerges it will remain this way.

I would appreciate if you remain seized of this issue for the time being. Kransky ( talk) 10:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC) reply

So he can come into my sandbox and reverese my own edits when I was to trying to expand a article. He instead could just remove the whole template.

Also you state stuff on the talk page not the user page. Good day. Also people should ask permission before doing stuff or tell me before they do it theirselves. It says Wrestlinglover/Sandbox2.

I told you I had valid sources and I DID cite a few (which you have conveniently not included in YOUR edit). I even began to include your sources (for example the Beauty World one, in my latest edit) and I made things sound more objective by taking out "look out for Dwayne" and replacing it with more formal wording. I am indeed making an effort.

What you've done however is utterly rude. You do not explain yourself clearly or offer any constructive advice with helping to word the article but instead remove content and now you have blocked the site from anyone editing it! And you've changed Dwayne back to voice-actor. He is not just a voice actor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.146.155.67 ( talk) 16:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC) reply

What I meant is the entire "Dwayne Tan" site. Dwayne is with me now and he is kindly requesting that since you have control over the page now, if you would kindly add back the works he was a part of in his updates section.

Hi Whisper, I don't think we ever concluded our previous discusson on individual articles for elementary and middle schools. Why do you see a problem with merging the information about the Spring ISD elementary schools into the ISD article? There is really no information in the elementary school article that is not already in the ISD article, and you have provided no reliable sources to justify having an individual article on the elementary schools. Yes, the schools did receive recognition, but that can easily be mentioned (and is mentioned) in the ISD article. If there is no other information in reliable sources about the topic, then it should be merged to the parent article. Karanacs ( talk) 01:52, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Is it okay if we have a discussion here, rather than split between our talk pages? A topic can be minorly notable but still not justify it's own article.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Highland Middle School, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Highland Middle School is a disambiguation page that only points to a single article, or no articles at all.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

A tag has been placed on Amy Anderson, 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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Rosiestep ( talk) 17:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi, I noticed you have added details of the suburbs where certain American embassies are. As mentioned earlier, I do not consider this level of detail to be encyclopedic. The intention of the articles is to describe diplomatic networks in a global context, not to list more exactly their locations. Kransky ( talk) 15:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I recognise there was some consensus towards putting this information in as per the debate. My strong belief is that we should do it for all missions in all articles, or not at all - this is consistent with Wikipedia directives on consistency. Ok, Wikipedia is a work in progress, but I would have expected a subtantial number of missions on a page to be updated with suburb details before moving on to another article.

Your entries for missions in Tokyo, Sydney and London demonstrates a problem you are likely to encounter. The City of Sydney is an incorporated body that covers a number of suburbs in and around the centre. Nobody refers to the central business district as the "City of Sydney". People associate the US Embassy in London as being in the suburb of Mayfair, not its parent borough of Westminster, likewise the US Embassy in Tokyo is in Akasaka ward, rather than the much larger Minato district.

Cities vary in naming conventions and jurisdictions - it would be difficult to apply a consistent standard, and there will be many cities where none of us will know what is appropriate to insert.  :) Kransky ( talk) 23:52, 1 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I found out that there are two different stores named Food Town in Houston. The one originally created by me was supposed to be about Lewis Food Town. This means that the logo there is also the Lewis logo. You might want to confirm that all the info is about Gerland's and not Lewis.

We do not include details of closed diplomatic missions. If we were to break with this practice, we would need the details of all missions that a particular country (eg DPRK) ever opened. Providing only the missions that we knew about would be misleading, since we would not be certain that it would be conclusive. In some articles (Australia, UK) we include details of missions that were closed, but we do not suggest it is a definitive list.

You still appear to have difficulty in understanding what these articles are about, and frankly, this is frustrating. That these articles are about diplomatic networks, not specific missions. They are summaries; they are not intended to contain exhaustive details on particular issues. Could I respectfully ask you to follow the style that is consistent amongst the other articles, or seek consensus first if you think you have a good idea.
