The Children's Night

Why was this deleted? Did you see the production info and links, plus have you looked at Dennou Coil? --91.149.8.107 (talk) 13:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

The production information could be integrated into the main article but it is unsourced, however the episode still fells WP:EPISODE and WP:NOTE. --Farix (Talk) 13:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I moved it to the episode list instead, since the information was relevant to that episode. See also episode 26.--91.149.8.107 (talk) 15:34, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

That's a very badly done merged. The production and critical reception really should go into RahXephon and not the episode list. I've removed the repetitive information along with the original research. --Farix (Talk) 15:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove the title references and the directors? Is there room for extra columns for that? Also how can we recognize the episodes without screenshots?--91.149.8.107 (talk) 15:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

The directors are already listed on the table. The title references are clearly original research. And the screen shots violate WP:FUC. --Farix (Talk) 15:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

The directors aren't listed. Those are the writers. Episode 15 is unusual in that the same person wrote and directed it. But I guess that's not very important information since you can find it in credits databases, etc.

I think all those references are sourced in the official DVD pamphlets, and also in the guide books. And if we happen to have one that is not listed there, why would that title reference be original research any more than the disambiguation pages?

Re:images I'll look into that. --91.149.8.107 (talk) 15:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I also question its rel events since it seems pretty trivial to me. Directors can probably be added into their own field on the table, but not in the summery section. I also took a good look at the main article, RahXephon, and found most of the information you tried to merge into the episode list already there, so it's been removed from the episode list. --Farix (Talk) 16:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Yuya Asahina

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Yuya Asahina, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Green Mustard Productions

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Green_Mustard_Productions. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Caboosey (talk) 04:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Manga Peer Review

Just to let you know that I've replied to the suggestions you made when you peer reviewed the manga article. Timothy Perper (talk) 20:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

For changing the episode format for Case Closed. I've been trying to put in summaries in for episodes I've seen, and I'm not good at the episode charts thing. CH (talk) 20:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Centralized TV Episode Discussion

Over the past months, TV episodes have been reverted by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here . --Maniwar (talk) 23:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Objective Episode Standard

I saw your support for my statement. I would like to propose this as an objective standard:

Notable episodes are those that meet any of the following criteria:

1. has been nominated for individual awards by a notable organization;
2. have had elements of the episode nominated for such an award (i.e. "best supporting actor" for a guest-starring role);
3. reached an unusual peak of ratings (such as the finale of M*A*S*H);
4. achieved other notoriety due to an unusual impact on the real world(the "seizure-causing" episode of Pokemon; the Trapped in the Closet episode of South Park, etc.)

Can you think of any specific additional criteria?Kww (talk) 17:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

1. I thing that mere nomination is not enough to establish notability. The episode actually has to win the award. I also think that it is not enough to mention the award, but add it along with other out-of-universe details, such as the critics comments about the episode in relation to the nomination. The award may help make the case that the article is notable for an individual article, but that doesn't mean that there is always enough information for the article to sustain an article beyond a plot summary.
2. Like 1, this should be limited to have actually won the award. However, this doesn't actually demonstrate the notability of the episode directly, just the actor. It really depends on just how much the critics comment on the episode. Though a mention of the award would be appropriate in the episode article if one did exist.
3. And just how are you going to measure the "unusual peak" in ratings? It's too vague to be useful.
4. The last is, of course, going to have the third-party sources for the episode to pass WP:NOTE directly.

All in all, I think episode articles should be less about the plot of the episode and more about with the real-world context, affects, and significance of the episode. --Farix (Talk) 18:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Central discussion of objective criteria

Japanese Animation Club of Orlando

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Japanese Animation Club of Orlando, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages'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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Japanese Animation Club of Orlando. 132.170.41.61 (talk) 13:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Terran Federation

Hi, I think there may have been a little mix up, this should explain it all. My bad, sorry, I've never used this process before, didn't realise the links would mess up :) Ryan4314 (talk) 14:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Injunction

So the injunction is only for characters but not for other things, like Mandalorian War. I think there should be some consistence (put all characters in a list or leave all of them out, just compare Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan), but of course it's their choice. — Raffaello9 | Talk | 18:33, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

According to the temporary injunction, articles on television characters or episodes should not be deleted, but I noticed that many of the articles you de-prodded are Star Wars characters from Expanded Universe novels, video games, comic books, etc. Granted, prods may be removed for any reason, but I just thought I should point that out for future reference. Thanks. Nufy8 (talk) 19:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not so sure. The wording specifically refers to television-related articles only, and I don't think the ArbCom meant to be ambiguous in its injunction. Nufy8 (talk) 20:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

AniDB wiki

The AniDB wiki has direct links to the title pages on its main site that include links to copyrighted material, hence my removing it. Also, wiki's are not reliable sources, so it shoudn't be used as a source either way. :P Collectonian (talk) 21:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Line spacing

I found it equally pointless how you were leaving the line spaces in, so I was merely dropping them to be more compact. I only did some of the ones on my watchlist, so it's not such a big deal.--十八 23:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

"Hard to read and modify"; I'm sorry, but I do not agree with you.--十八 23:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Manga images discussion

Unbeknownst to you, your removal of the "empty column" was premature. Please offer your input in a current debate on the use of manga covers in articles at Talk:List of Hunter × Hunter chapters#Use of Images. Thank you! Shimawa zen (talk) 03:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

WP:MOS-AM

The guideline supports this title? If so, are there pages in {{Fullmetal Alchemist}} that need renaming? Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:59, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

If the character section grows long, please reconsider the amount of detail or number of characters included. Beyond that, a separate page, named List of (series) characters, may be appropriate. This particular naming convention has been adopted by the majority of editor form WP:ANIME, though at the time, I favored a somewhat different naming convention for character list articles. --Farix (Talk) 13:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I asked about FMA because I personally feel the page titles border on redundant. Well, what names would you suggest? It'd be nice to see some examples, you know, for reference. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

SatyrBot & Anime

Hi, TheFarix! I've run the bot through that list of categories looking for articles that don't have the project banner. The list I came up with is Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Anime and manga/No banner. I did a quick spot check to make sure things were good, but it was *very* quick, so let me know if the bot messed up the report in any way. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 17:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject:Comics tag

Hi, I've noticed you've removed a number of Manga releated articles from this project. I've added the ones I've seen back and I'm curious about why you feel the need to removed them. You said in your edit summaries that the project links were redundant. Its not possible for articles to be a part of two similiar and related Wiki Projects? Stephen Day (talk) 22:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I have to say I disagree. There is nothing wrong with having articles that belong to multiple Wiki:Projects. In fact the whole point of having projects is to increase the number of editors interested in maintaining articles. In this respect there is no such thing as overkill. The more projects a article can be put in, the better the article is for it. Stephen Day (talk) 23:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of this. My apologies then. Stephen Day (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for fixing Trinity Blood...don't know what happened...maybe a network connect bleep or something. Collectonian (talk) 17:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

List of Keeping Up Appearances episodes

Hey...things seemed to be okay on this page, but now that its no longer protected Edito*Magico seems to be ready to start another edit war over this list and List of Goodnight Sweetheart episodes. Now he is arguing that all of the summaries should have Synopsis: added to the front of them. Both I and UpDown have again told him that it isn't how an episode list is normally formatted, and that if he felt it should be added he should discussed it at the episode template. However, he is doing the same thing as before, "discussing, while continuing to put them back when we remove them. As someone who assisted before, would you be willing to come offer another opinion at Talk:List of Keeping Up Appearances episodes#Synopsis. Collectonian (talk) 16:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:AMCOTW voter

A tag has been placed on Template:AMCOTW voter requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:49, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX media and release information

• Just a note - Taiketsu (talk · contribs) reverted your move. JuJube (talk) 01:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I see that he didn't give any reasons for reverting the move. As such, I've moved the page back and gave an explanation of the move on the talk page. --Farix (Talk) 02:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

InuYasha categories

Only you and one other person have opposed the three options I've demonstrated. Please update yourself on the discussion and maybe you'll come to terms? Per number consensus, I plan to do the edits tomorrow but would prefer that everyone agreed in the end. Regards, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 07:57, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
