"tendentious editing will eventually result in you getting blocked" — is this supposed to be some kind of a threat? I would like to point out that I am the only consistent party in this discourse who has tried to come up with a compromise which will satisfy all parties, but have yet to see any kind of constructive contribution from User:Collectonian or User:Dandy Sephy whose policy appears to be to take information OUT of Misplaced Pages rather than IN.--Marktreut (talk) 19:39, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Giveit a rest will you. Don't presume to thnking you are making compromises for the benefit of the article, because you aren't. The compromises all support your complete lack of understanding over how sources work. Also don't dare suggest the people who actually fixed the issues with the page are harmng the article by objecting to your ridiculous twisting ofwhat sources actually say and your own personal belief. You've failed to address the concerns of 4 other editors, and ignored every single piece of advice, so dont act like you are acting in the best interest of the article, if youwere you would have dropped the issue or actually addressed the issue.

My Gundam Character Articles

You have my blessing to go ahead and merge any and all Gundam character articles I've started - Miguel Aiman, Katz Kobayashi, Rosamia Badam, Fa Yuiry, Paptimus Scirocco, Mouar Pharaoh, etc. - to their respective lists. I am in complete agreement that having character lists for each Gundam show is the best way to go. Shaneymike (talk) 14:36, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Delsort scripts

Hey Farix, I noticed that you tried my delsort script for awhile before switching back to the one you'd been using previously. I'm just curious what you thought of my script, why you switched back, and any suggestions you might have for improving it, if you don't mind. 「ダイノガイ千？！」 21:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

It just simply didn't work. When I licked on the delsort tab, it would simply open an edit screen as if I had hit the edit tab instead. That's why I switch back. —Farix (t | c) 21:17, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Yep, that's a known bug - if you hit it again on the edit screen, it will work. In the meantime, I could probably hack a fix in by passing a parameter in the URL... Or I could just look at how Auto Ed does things (there's some other stuff I could steal from Auto Ed as well, I think). If I have a few minutes, I'll look at it before long. 「ダイノガイ千？！」 21:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I've made some enhancements and bugfixes to the script (still haven't addressed the view --> edit problem; the code relating to that in Misplaced Pages:AutoEd/core.js is seriously scaring me ;P ); would you care to give it another shot and provide some feedback (don't actually have to save anything; I find it's useful to open a random discussion and test with junk sortlists (asdfg and the like))? 「ダイノガイ千？！」 18:40, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

My ideal of a delsort script is clicking on at tab on an AfD discussion, either in edit or view mode, and it will pop up a screen giving me several preconfig groups to choose from. Then I can selected which groups I want and then click finish and the discussion is then sorted by the script. Something similar to how Friendly handles article tagging. —Farix (t | c) 00:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually, that's something of my own vision for an ideal delsort script; however, lack of skill in programming stifles my efforts at any "real" development. =( 「ダイノガイ千？！」 18:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Shōnen to Inu

Please, don't undo my revisions on the article Shōnen to Inu. The book's right name is Shōnen to Inu. It was called "Ginga no Inutachi Remix" when it was re-issued two years later. Thank you. - Nawulf (talk) 21:32, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

If you wish to have the page moved, then request a page move. However, the article's edit history must be preserved. —Farix (t | c) 21:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

So in this wiki I can't move pages on my own? That's weird. Now I have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN, geez. Thanks alot... - Nawulf (talk) 11:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Since there is already a redirect at the location, you will have to make a request. Copy and pasting an article is not permitted as it breaks the article's edit history, and we need to preserve that history under GPL. —Farix (t | c) 11:27, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

And why are the images gone? - Nawulf (talk) 11:36, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Because they are not being used? BTW, only one image in appropriate to illustrate the article and identify the work. The second image would violate WP:NFCC. —Farix (t | c) 11:42, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

This really doesn't make me feel I'm welcomed to edit Misplaced Pages - all my edits are reverted and undone. I'm pretty upset right now. :( - Nawulf (talk) 11:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that, but we have very specific procedures about how pages are moved when can't be done through the normal move method. We also have rules relating to bold edits and editorial disputes. Since the article has been moved several times, then a discussion need to be held before another move takes place. —Farix (t | c) 11:42, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

List of Martian Successor Nadesico characters

FWIW, as far as I'm concerned, you can merge them all right away (although I do hope you won't trim too much). I'm not sure there are any active Nadesico editors who haven't seen the notices over the 2 or 3 weeks they've been up now. --Gwern (contribs) 13:41 14 September 2009 (GMT)

Digimon articles

Hi TheFarix,

I am currently planning to do major cleanup of the Digimon character articles. Unfortunately, I am not completely familiar with the series and would like your input regarding the cleanup suggestions here (esp. #3). Thank you, G.A.S 05:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

EToP

What you're trying to add is a violation of WP:SYNTH, since you combine two pieces of information, which are, admittedly, reliably sourced, to reach a conclusion which isn't explicitly stated in the sources given. --75.50.52.103 (talk)

It is not synthesis to state that a manga that is ran in a magazine targeted to children is likewise targeted to children. Removing such verifiable information is vandalism and will result in your lose of editing privileges. —Farix (t | c) 00:43, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Does CoroCoro ever specifically say "Pokémon is kodomo"? No, it doesn't, so using that as a source is a violation of WP:SYNTH since you have failed to provide a source which specifically states "Pokémon is kodomo". --75.50.52.103 (talk) 00:44, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't have to. It's stating the obvious. But your removing is vandalism. —Farix (t | c) 00:46, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

It's not vandalism since you've failed to provide a reliable source which specifically says "Pokémon is kodomo". "Stating the obvious" isn't a valid argument on Misplaced Pages, everything must be sourced. --75.50.52.103 (talk) 00:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

The reliable source is the fact that it was serialized in a magazine targeted to children. What else would it a manga serialized in a childrens magazine be targeted to? —Farix (t | c) 00:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

It's still WP:SYNTH, since, although one could assume that Pokémon is kodomo from that information, it isn't specifically stated, so it violates WP:SYNTH, WP:RS, and WP:V. --75.50.52.103 (talk) 00:51, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Stating the obvious is in not synthesis. Synthesis is when you "combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." Only one source is used, the serialization in magazine itself, to back up the fact. —Farix (t | c) 00:56, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I have read EToP. It is, most definitely, kodomo. --Dinoguy1000 (talk · contribs) as 72.251.164.58 (talk) 04:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

If I understand the argument correctly Farix is saying that because a cartoon is in a magazine targeted towards children then the cartoon itself is also targeted towards children. I would agree with that and do not think it needs to be sourced. RaseaC (talk) 20:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

This editor is, frankly, a vandal and has repeatedly attempted to vandalize these articles over a period of months, even nominating the magazine for deletion when he/she couldn't get his way. He/she was eventually indefinitely blocked under one account, Mathemagician57721 (talk · contribs), for vandalism. But I also see that they have renominated the magazine for deletion again. —Farix (t | c) 21:07, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

If that's true then open a sockpuppet investigation and request a checkuser, then report them to the admin noticeboard. There's no point in keeping up a revert war. RaseaC (talk) 21:22, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm just a head of you there. —Farix (t | c) 21:25, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

@TheFarix Were you aware of that? --KrebMarkt 21:25, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a few minutes ago, but I'm not sure it is necessary to defend my actions, since I was clearly reverting vandalism and other editors have done the same. I have no idea why I'm the one being singled out. —Farix (t | c) 21:27, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

You don't need to defend your actions, your edits talk for you and that user is doing its very best to get banned. --KrebMarkt 21:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

xxxHolic cover image

Off-topic comment: I replied for the xxxHolic cover. Feel free to upload a shinier version. Suspect the dark tone of the current cover due to the matte paper of the cover. I hope Del Rey covers are glossy. --KrebMarkt 21:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

It's not glossy, but I don't think that will be a problem since the Rozen Maiden cover is the same way and it scanned in fine. Though I rather look for a better image of the Japanese cover first so minimize updates. —Farix (t | c) 21:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I will try tp find another Japanese one first then i will return to you if i don't manage it. --KrebMarkt 21:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok. —Farix (t | c) 22:07, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Done a bit a delay due to a wikimedia bug but everything is fine now. --KrebMarkt 17:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Semi-Protection

I can semi-protect your user space for any length of time but note that this will block all ips and users who are not autoconfirmed from editing, which is fine for your user page but not ideal for your user talk page. Just say the word.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:40, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Seems to be fixed. It was Ranma Saotome page that was brought to the attention of WT:ANIME. —Farix (t | c) 22:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
