User talk:Sephiroth BCR/Archive 12
I've got an idea for a WP:FT. I want to work on video game consoles made by Nintendo. This would include, at the very least, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Virtual Boy, Nintendo 64, GameCube, and the Wii. I can handle that. What I am wondering about, though, is what the lead article should be (I'm thinking Nintendo video game consoles or something along those lines), and if I need to include any 'secondary' consoles as well, that are much less popular (I've never heard of these, and I know the general public would never have, too.) Look at {{Nintendo hardware}} next to Console. For instance, I assume that I'll probably have to include Color TV Game, which won't be a problem, but what about the ones in brackets? I'd rather not include those, for the reasons mentioned. Let me know if I have to, or suggestions on how to narrow my scope. Generally speaking, I'd like to include only the consoles listed at Nintendo#Consoles. Gary King (talk) 06:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Rental Magica FLCHey Sephiroth, just a quick note to say I've supported the FLC now, no more issues for me, and also to say not a problem to helping out with Gary King's lists. Just a coincidence that he started producing them at a prolific rate at the same time I started lingering arount the FLC area! All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 07:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC) ThanksFor dealing with the vandal on my Talk page -- was that from my report? It hasn't taken me long on Wikipedia to acquire a stalker but I suspect he must know me from Usenet or some forum.--Doug Weller (talk) 22:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC) Otolemur crassicaudatusBest leave him alone. Obviously he doesn't want to talk about his mistake, so if he repeats it we'll know he's ignoring us on purpose. From what I've read in his archive, he seems to alternate between disruptive and benign. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 22:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC) About mention of fictionCould you answer this query on your talk page? I asked the same thing on List of Blood+ characters, yet never got a direct response. I have watchlisted this conversation. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Phew. Star Wars looks a lot prettier now. Still got lots to do though... let's see if I can clean it up for nomination by tonight. Gary King (talk) 03:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
OrochiI ll work in that tonight (or midnight if we talk about North America time). However, since I dont have the books (they dont sell it in my country) I am not able to put the pages. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 20:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC) List of Tokyo Mew Mew episodesYou have quite a few episode FLs under your belt, so I was wondering if you could weigh in on a issue that has come up at List of Tokyo Mew Mew episodes. It seems some of the 4Kids English dubbed episodes aired in South Africa before they aired in the US, and we're unsure how (or if) that should be reflected in the episode list. Technically, we should list the first English airdate, but doing it here would seem to require somehow jumping between US and South Africa. We're also having a minor disagreement on dealing with the lead and the DVD releases if you'd like to weigh in there. Its a complex issue because only half the series was dubbed in English, and right now its just two of us working there so a third opinion would be helpful to break our ties. :P Collectonian (talk) 20:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC) Wow, so I'm completely enjoying building up Featured Topics. I think I posted a message on your Talk page a few weeks ago saying that I could not find the usefulness in Featured Topics, but now, I find it useful in terms of collaboration. It is great to see people get together around a number of related articles and collaborate on them. I enjoy Featured Topics much more than WikiProjects, as the scope for projects are still too broad to interest me. (My interests are all over the place, with a little bit in every possible subject, but not enough to join a WikiProject.) I've added the FTs that I plan to work on on my User page. Feel free to check them out! It certainly adds much more structure to what I am working towards. For instance, before I was working on random articles, but now, it is more rewarding to work on a group of articles, especially since once you've brought one of them to Featured Article status, you learn what the other articles in the group needs in order to reach WP:FA, too. </ramble> Gary King (talk) 02:19, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
AdminshipI have been thinking about my desire for adminship recently, and I am not as enthusiastic about obtaining it as much as I had been a few weeks ago when I first applied for an admin coaching request. I am already aware that at my current state, I would not pass the nomination if my entire history on Wikipedia were to be criticized. I also am aware that Wikipedia would benefit more from me if I continue to primarily be an article builder, first and foremost. Of course, I would not mind obtaining adminship because I have done a substantial amount of vandal fighting on Wikipedia during the same period of content building, and have almost never had a decision overturned, including for WP:AFD, WP:CSD, WP:RPP, WP:AIV, reverts, and rollbacks, among others. These actions were first done by scouring Recent Changes and New Pages lists. But recently, I have spent more time content building and have come to realize that I already find my fair share of vandalism just by doing that - as you may have noticed, the articles that I usually work on are pretty popular and therefore get vandalized quite a bit (semi-protection tags are not uncommon on the articles I edit!) Anyways, these are just some of my thoughts. I have seen editors apply for adminship in the past month alone to see that when it fails, the editor falls quickly and some of them even walk away from Wikipedia for extended periods of time. This is an experience I would rather not want to have at the moment, considering the... momentum that I am building right now. Please let me know your thoughts, such as my actual chances of getting an adminship sometime in the near future. Oh, and regarding those adminship questions, I have been meaning to get to them and hopefully will sometime this week. Gary King (talk) 18:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Sephiroth BCR. You have new messages at Gary King's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Some receptionHi Sephiroth, have you seen this review? I saw you commented the article needs more reception. If I find another review I will send it to you. Nice work with the articles, regards.Tintor2 (talk) 01:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC) Here there is another that talks about developments. Here there is another from the same site. A question: are you thinking to pass the article to GA first? See you.Tintor2 (talk) 14:34, 30 March 2008 (UTC) I forgot this one. This have a good mention of characters designs and fights.Tintor2 (talk) 14:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC) Gaara was put on hold for GA. It seems its just the tone of some sentences.Tintor2 (talk) 00:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Hey, do you know any user related with Fullmetal Alchemist? I have been cleaning Edward Elric but I dont find any conception information. I also found another interview with the voice actors of Naruto [1] but the source doesnt seems very good. Thanks,Tintor2 (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC) Several changes have been made to Gaara. The reviewer reworte the lead but a user rewrote it later. Could you check it to see if its ok?Tintor2 (talk) 23:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC) About Naruto Uzumaki, should the appearances in other media explain each of the movies? I think it would be better to leave similar to the one of Sasuke Uchiha. See you.Tintor2 (talk) 00:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC) Re: DB cleanupI'll be very content once we can do a major revamp on these pages. BTW, would you like to comment on Talk:666 Satan#Requested move? People keep adding speculatory reasons as to why the name "666 Satan" should be utilized over the official English title "O-Parts Hunter". I've cited this guideline, but frankly it's not helping much. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Why do barnstars have to be substituted?Just a general question: why do barnstars have to be substituted (using subst:)? Using a template seems cleaner to do. Gary King (talk) 21:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC) First article disputeI'm now involved in my first article dispute regarding the information found in Facebook. The discussion is found here: Talk:Facebook#Launch Date is obviously wrong. This is getting interesting. Gary King (talk) 02:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Another orphaned WikiProject?I completely forgot about the existence of Wikipedia:WikiProject 666 Satan 'til stumbling upon on by accident. It appears to have been more inactive than WP:NARUTO was. Think it should be put to deletion? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
How is appealing to the scanlation popularity grasping at straws, exactly? All evidence points to 666 Satan being used by the majority of the English fanbase. --erachima formerly tjstrf 05:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for March 31st, 2008.

Dragon Ball work groupThanks for joining. Arguments there sometimes end up in results that probably aren't the right desision. Sesshomaru is who i've generally seen as a leader for the correct way to go but there are a lot of users working on Dragon Ball pages that aren't experienced (myself included). Let me know if you want some help with something. Funkamatic (talk · contribs) —Preceding comment was added at 19:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Re:Twelve ImamsHi and Thanks, You've done a good work. I changed one of your edition. Please check it now.--Seyyed(t-c) 04:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Expanding articlesIf you need to expand articles, for instance to make an article to Featured Article, where do you usually go to find sources of information to expand? Such as, for video games? Do you usually just browse news about a game until something interesting appears and use that as a reference for new text that you write? Gary King (talk) 06:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Way too many articles!Man, look at the bottom of this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_Seiya Using autobiographies as a source for a biography articleIs a person's autobiographical book allowed to be used a source for their own biography, especially when it is used for statements that are non-controversial, such as when a person first enrolled at a university?

GA Review of Rukia KuchikiHi Sephiroth BCR, I'm just popping in to let you know that I have completed the review of Rukia Kuchiki. I placed the article on hold and left some comments on the talk page. In any event, have a nice day! --Liempt (talk) 20:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC) Whats up?Hey I just wanted to know wats going on.

Using this form, you may submit updates to existing game data, as well as adding new games that we don't currently cover. Once submitted, game data becomes the property of GameFAQs. GameFAQs reserves the right to edit, publish, and distribute the data you submit at will. The site is user-submitted while the staff accepts it. They don't have a source for that. And like I said, Dawn of Sorrow was put on print again in NA under "Konami's Best", so you're reverting me despite the nature of the website, but ignoring my statement about the re-release of the game in NA under the Konami's Best label. --HeaveTheClay (talk) 14:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Semi protection requestsI don't know if you've noticed, but I've been doing some vandalism-reverting in the past few weeks, meaning that as a side effect, I've been active in WP:AIV. But lately, I've actually found myself attracted to WP:RPP because WP:AIV appears to be taken care of fairly well. WP:RPP seems to need more attention, so I think that's where I'd be most effect if I ever had the mop. I think I'm at about 50 requests for protection and counting so far - it's a busy place and definitely needs some extra caretaking! I'm actually surprised to see so many articles have gone by so long with protection, considering their nature (lots of Axis power-related articles). Gary King (talk) 19:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Featured Chapter ListHey! I'm prepping my first chapter list for possible FLC, List of Marmalade Boy chapters. I've requested a copyedit to try to tackle the summaries and grammar issues. I looked at the Naruto chapter list as a guide for what to put in the lead, but wondered if you had any suggestions for anything I may need to change/add to the list? Collectonian (talk) 03:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
MistertrufflesFrom his postings on Talk:Gainax, User:Mistertruffles seems to have an ax against Anime News Networking, referring to site as "hacky fan nobodies" and "nobody, know-nothing bloggers." I've fixed up that reference in Naruto to better reflect what the review actually says, since it was being used out of context. I'm gonna head offline, though, so if you'll be around awhile can you keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't ax it out again or try to remove ANN references from other pages. Not sure why he is suddenly jumping on them as he has never edited any Anime articles until tonight, only music ones. Collectonian (talk) 07:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC) Edito*Magica at It AgainHey, don't know if you remember the fiasco from February, but User:Edito*Magica is back to his old tricks on two more episode lists: List of 2point4 children episodes and List of One Foot in the Grave episodes. Considering his history, I've gone ahead and put in an AN/I notice after he reverted my tagging both articles. Someone from the TV project has already volunteered to fix up the 2point4 episode list for a potential FLC run, but I'm concerned that unless stronger action is taken and Edito is brought in line, when the work is done he will go into his revert mode because he disagrees with the FL episode list format, and with what leads should have (see his post at Wikipedia talk:Lead section#Leading the way- what the "lead" policy should say. to see his attempt to have lead changed).Collectonian (talk) 01:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Do you think that List of national anthems could become a WP:FL without any references? It's similar to List of countries in that that list does not require references for every country to prove that it is a country. In a way, that burden is placed on the linked articles (especially since if the article exists, then that at least shows notability). Gary King (talk) 02:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
