MOS:UNLINKDATES

Last I checked, this particular aspect of the manual of style was extremely disputed over its usage. Before you continue to use automated edits that are not labeled as automated to unlink the dates all over, I'd like you to show me that this particular aspect of the MOS is widely accepted.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

My edits were not automated. WP:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) is a Misplaced Pages guideline and I do not see any current discussion at WT:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) about it being "extremely disputed over its usage". Powergate92Talk 04:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

There were two separate arbitration cases about it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you add the links for the "two separate arbitration cases about it"? Also if it's "extremely disputed over its usage" then why is it still part of WP:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)? Powergate92Talk 04:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what has come about of it or why it's not mentioned anywhere on that page.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:10, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

If your not going to add links for discussions about it being "extremely disputed over its usage" then I am going to revert your edits. Powergate92Talk 05:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Just letting you know, I've filed an Arbitration Enforcement request over this: Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Powergate92 jgpTC 03:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Content

You know, I haven't actually seen you actually add any substantive content to any Power Rangers, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, etc. articles. You've just been doing automated cleaning and an enforcing of various guidelines and manuals of style to the articles. I actually can't find any actual content you've added to any article in the past few months.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:53, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

On September 3, 2009 I added some info to the "International broadcasts" section in the Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight article, on October 5, 2009 I added some references to the "Production" section in the Power Rangers: RPM article. Also I edit other articles you know as I been editing the Stargate Universe‎ article and I made the article Spliced (TV series). Powergate92Talk 23:11, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Neither of those additions to the Dragon Knight or RPM pages really count.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

TVShowsOnDVD.com

Where did Mr. Lambert get his information that the show is to be remastered? It just seems to be the rumor going around the internet. Until something in a news release from Disney or Bandai says very clearly "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is going to be remastered", it's nothing we can say on Misplaced Pages.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:12, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't know where TVShowsOnDVD get their info but that is a news article from a reliable source and I found that news article when searching "Power Rangers: RPM" on Google News. Powergate92Talk 05:23, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think we should make a statement about remastering until it gets closer to the actual broadcast time.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:35, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Before you revert me again, bring it up on the talk page and wait for someone else to say something.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:09, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I just looked at the source: it says "...which has been described as a return (rebroadcast) of the original 1993 series...remastered and with a new logo"; with the wording "been described" and the linke to the press release, tvshowsondvd.com did not assert it was a remastering, but inaccurately claimed that Bandai's press release asserted it was a remastering. The wording makes it clear that their only source is the press release. So, in this case, tvshowsondvd.com is not a reliable source. jgpTC 06:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

As you can see it says "..." before it says "remastered and with a new logo" that shows that they are not citing Bandai's press release as the source for "remastered and with a new logo" as if they were then it say "return (rebroadcast) of the original 1993 series, remastered and with a new logo" Also this discussion shows that TVShowsOnDVD is a reliable source. Powergate92Talk 14:43, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

If you look at that news article it look like they got their info from the DVD the news article is about as it says "a Sneak Peek of January's return to ABC Saturday Mornings of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers...which has been described as a return (rebroadcast) of the original 1993 series...remastered and with a new logo".

Userbox Design

Hi, I was wondering if you can design for me a userbox, that indicates that I'm using Microsoft Office 2010? A.h. king • Talk to me! 07:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for comment/Racepacket

Thank you for regularly going through my edits again to make a useless statement and air previous grievances against me.

Seriously, buzz off unless it's an issue with tokusatsu articles.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

WP:EL

Guidelines are not policy. The nature of the subject matter, the extensive use of Japanese text throughout the article, links to other websites, and the fact that all links are .jp make it clear enough that the links are to Japanese language websites. We do not need to extensively use {{ja icon}} to tag them as such.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:20, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

The administrator User:J Milburn said to me is a discussion "If you feel that a guideline should not be followed, you will have to provide a good reason, not just say "it's a guideline, SO I CAN DO WHAT I LIKE!"" (J Milburn said that because I said "WP:Non-free content criteria is a guidelines and not a policy. A former Misplaced Pages administrator named Ryulong said in a discussion at Talk:Kamen Rider Decade#It's "Kamen" that "Guidelines are only suggestions for content. They are not always followed. That is why they are only guidelines and not policy."") So "Guidelines are not policy" is not a reason to not follow guidelines. WP:Linking#Non-English-language sites says "Webpages in English are highly preferred. Linking to non-English pages may still be useful for readers in the following cases:

• when the website is the subject of the article
• when linking to pages with maps, diagrams, photos, tables (explain the key terms with the link, so that people who do not know the language can interpret them)
• when the webpage contains key or authoritative information found on no English-language site and is used as a citation (or when translations on English-language sites are not authoritative).

In such cases, indicate what language the site is in." and WP:External links#Non-English-language content says "Links to English-language content are strongly preferred in the English-language Misplaced Pages. It may be appropriate to have a link to a non-English-language site, such as when an official site is unavailable in English; or when the link is to the subject's text in its original language; or when the site contains visual aids such as maps, diagrams, or tables—per the guideline on non-English-language sites.

When linking to a site in a non-English language under the exceptions above, label the link with a language icon, available for most languages, using two-letter language codes: for example, {{es icon}}, {{fr icon}}, etc." Again this is "English-language Misplaced Pages" so if the links for the official sites are in Japanese they need to have a "language icon" per the guidelines above. Powergate92Talk 01:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

It is wholy not necessary when the entire article is about something in the other language. NFCC is practically policy. Using the "language icon" templates is not necessary, especially when the regular editors of the page have decided not to use them at all. You do not count as a regular editor. All you do is come along every few weeks and say THIS NEEDS TO BE THIS BECAUSE OF THIS GUIDELINE/POLICY.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:44, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I see 2 guidelines that say "indicate what language the site is in" and "linking to a site in a non-English language under the exceptions above, label the link with a language icon" and I see no guideline or policy that say "If the article is about something in the other language it doe's not need language icon templates". What "regular editors of the page have decided not to use them at all" the only users I see discussing this are you and me. If you look at my contributions you will see that I been adding info to the List of characters in Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight and List of Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight episodes articles, so I do more then "come along every few weeks and say THIS NEEDS TO BE THIS BECAUSE OF THIS GUIDELINE/POLICY." Also I see you are reverting non-vandalism edits as vandalism again as you reverted my message on your talk page as vandalism when it was not, if you continue to revert non-vandalism edits as vandalism, I will report you and you may have your Twinkle rights taken away. Powergate92Talk 06:45, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, if you try to game me into violating WP:3RR as you have in the past (report me on it, and get me blocked for it), I will propose that you be banned from the subject area.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
