== Final Fantasy VI repeat edits==
I apologize for the redundency of my edits. I had only skimmed the magicite entry and did not see that it was already mentioned. I still believe the vanish/X-zone trick deserves some honorable mention. I also apologize for not using the edit summaries.--] 00:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
:I also greatly and truly apologize for the redundancy of my edits earlier in the month. I had also skimmed the entry and did not see that the fact that it was the last main FF series title for the SNES is redundant and is considered ] (perhaps important, but not terribly interesting). I still believe that the "final main FF series title for the SNES" deserves honorable mention also. I also apologize for not using the edit summaries for some of the time. The information listed in some of the FF articles has given me a better idea about those edits, removing information from the FF articles will sometimes help me out, as per the FFVI talk page. Thank you for your comments. Please accept my apologies and thanks again.] 00:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

== FF articles #2 ==


== Apology ==
In FFX, the fact was removed for the first main FF title for the PS2 (maybe removed as per WP:NOR). I wasn't really impressed by this removal. As a Wikipedian, I still believe ''this'' particular fact deserves honorable and notable mention :). Some of those facts seem redundant, not interesting, not necessary (which may be in your perspective) ''and'' maybe "superfluous" because it just clutters up the info :) and during the FAC Process, like you said, such observations are discouraged during the process and ''that's'' why you removed that fact for the FFX. Keep in mind though, that FFX is most notable for the first release for the PS2 in my honest opinion because it is the first game to have full voices (in English and Japanese) and the first game to use the CTB battle system. Also keep in mind though, that FFVI is the final main FF series title to be released for the SNES in my honest opinion because it is the last to use Mode 7, the final main FF series title to use the 16-bit graphics, the final main FF series title to be on a cartridge and also the final FF series title to use the SPC sound engine among other things. I will take your advice as a Wikipedian that the PS ''and'' the PS2 revolutionized graphics and games, so a mention of that should be in here somewhere as to fit in :). Thanks for the helpful info, Nique. ] 15:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Obviously you were right to remove the question from the ] page, although it could have potentially been article-related — he may have wanted to know the location in order to add some sort of information to the correct article.

There's a discussion at ] regarding whether the word "hero" is unsuitably POV to describe Squall. The eventual consensus was that it is, and that "protagonist" is a more appropriate word to use. Would that be suitable as precedent? ] 06:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Keeping them under some control is a real pain in the coccyx.

== Apology ==
Reverting and warning works fine on entries where vandalism is low. When there are frequent attacks, reverting and warning on IP's is a drop in the bucket-- I've tracerouted a number of <nowiki><s>these turdspiders</s></nowiki> vandals' IPs on various articles to be from open relay proxies/anonymous gateways. That's when protection comes in-- semi or total lockup. As for your style, that's your own lookout if you truly "don't care what other editors think". However your "style" of accompanying revisions with snide edit summaries falls under disruptive (qv. "hairsplitting revisions") and can get you reported. I'm just sayin'. ] 00:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

==Regarding kanji of actors==
If you look at the top half of what I was doing in my ], I wonder if you will still have the same qualms about adding a plot summary. At this point it was just translation, and I didn't adjust any content based on what I think should be in the article. On the other hand, the text from the JA Wiki doesn't really give away major plot details and still serves as an adequate outline. ]<font color="darkgreen">]</font> 13:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I feel incredibly insulted by that phrase. You know, the person reverting the changes just now gave me a decent rationale for the changes (Romanizations used in Japanese site, fair enough) - before that, I thought he or she was mistakenly applying wapuro as "correct" romanizations for an anime series with differing official romanizations used in English translation. So, I dealt with him as if he was a misguided fan. I feel insulted, because I am a senior editor who has been on Misplaced Pages since 2004. ] 22:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

What you are describing is a series of more informal romanization styles, which are not standardized.


== Todd Howard article ==
But "Oo" as in "Ootori" is seen in modified Hepburn system (which does not use macrons) - and it applies to both o-u and o-o combinations - This system, used in the Pocket Kenkyusha Japanese Dictionary published by Oxford University Press, is not common.


Welcome back to Misplaced Pages! Your wikipedia break was 11 years, which is honestly probably a record. But the first edit you make after 11 years is vandalizing Todd Howard's page?

Misplaced Pages, when using official romanizations, uses the Library of Congress system, which uses macrons. If macrons are taken away, then various informal romanization styles dominate. A lot of anime fans like using wapuro, but plenty of people also use Passport Hepburn and non-indicating romanization to refer to people, places, and objects as well. ] 05:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


== Please stop removing spaces from Kanji == == A goat for you! ==


]
It's against the relevant MOS. ] specifically says to include spaces. This is because, "true to the language" or not, by removing the spaces you make it impossible to tell where the words end and begin and vastly reduce the utility to readers of the article who do not speak Japanese. --] <small>]</small> 00:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Here you go!
:The two times they do spell it out, for modern and historical, it is with a space, so it's obviously intended that spaces be the rule. For a personal instance from a week or so ago where the spacing was instrumental, I needed to search out confirmation for a reference using Google and the place where I eventually found it (which was 90% in Japanese) listed the person only by family name. Without the spacing, I would not have been able to find the information because I would have had to search for the entire Kanji string, not all of which was present on the site, rather than just his family name. --] <small>]</small> 01:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
