| == Ai no Kusabi tags == | |||
| Last year, you added numerous tags to ]. I have done some work on the article which I believe has decidedly improved it, so if you could please revisit the article and remove the tags which no longer apply, I would appreciate it. Thanks. --] (]) 22:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :Currently, I'd say all three still apply. The media section is badly formatted and is missing the actual novel information. The refs are not formatted properly at all. The character section has too many minor characters, and is completely unsourced. Its much improved, but still has some work needed. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 00:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Ah well, at least the content of the article has been improved. Formatting isn't my strong point. I disagree that the character section has too many minor characters in it. I suspect that the summary I reworked came from the OAV, which Aestheticism says greatly simplified the story. The Aestheticism novels summary/review only omits Daryl and Mimea. --] (]) 01:35, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::Yep, it definitely has improved! Possibly. I honestly couldn't stomach the translation enough to get through the first one...its still sitting somewhere in my boxes of books :P Glad DMP seems to ''maybe'' be getting better with those. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 01:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::That's horrible! "Ai no Kusabi" should be moved to "The Space Between" (in the "note" it says 'translated by DMP as "The Space Between"', which I'm assuming is in reference to ] Publishing.). I disagree with the note, the translation should be located in the template, as it is with almost every other article, and the article itself should be moved to "The Space Between". ''']'''<sup>]</sup> 18:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Or not. It appears that's only a translation. The official title is "Ai No Kusabi". ''']'''<sup>]</sup> 18:26, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::The series is being released as ''Ai No Kusabi''. "The Space Between" seens to be a subtitle of sorts. It only appears on the cover though, and is officially referred to as ''Ai No Kusabi'' in solicitations and on their website. The article is in the proper place.-- ] (] '''·''' ]) 18:46, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Given that Ai no Kusabi is even listed in the Anime Encyclopedia under an aka - "Ties of Love", perhaps more of the unofficial akas are warranted in the article? --] (]) 22:41, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I added the note for Anime Encyc. Pretty sure that was fixed in the second edition however. They have listed some other licensed series under unofficial fan names though. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 00:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == That bleach list == | |||
| I understand it has been a while since this happened but last April you moved ] "per consensus". It seems that the consensus doesn't exist. I still find myself wanting to see that page again but I only recently realized it was still in a page's history (I didn't know ] was moved to ] before it was deleted). Please direct me to the consensus before I try and restore the page. ] (]) 13:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :There is an established ] consensus for such moves/merges. I '''strongly''' suggested you don't restore the page, you will only cause unnecessary arguments and it will be undone. ] (]) 13:20, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :As Dandy Sephy said, it was merged per consensus to the main article, ]. This was done with project consensus that such media pages are completely inappropriate splits and should be merged back to their main articles, which was done. This was also discussed explicitly on the Bleach talk page, as can be seen in ] again showing consensus. So, second do not try to restore the page, as it will just be seen as disruptive, particularly attempting to undo a merge that was done nearly a year ago. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 13:26, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::It will also need to be in it's current form if the article is re-promoted to B class or Good Article status. ] (]) 13:27, 13 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == Film coordinator? == | |||
| With two of the standing coordinators not running, there's a bit of a paucity of candidates for the ]. Would you be interested in running? Given your experience with assessment and other tasks (hell, you're basically fulfilling a coordinator role for ] right now unofficially or not), I think you'd be a good candidate. — <font face="Segoe Script">]</font> <font face="Verdana"><sup>'''(])'''</sup></font> 03:21, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I've never quite understood what the coordinators due, exactly? -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 03:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Basically all of the project wonkery. Aside from participating in discussion at ], we manage task forces, conduct assessment runs, keep {{tl|WPFILMS Announcements}} updated, make peer reviews, discuss possible changes to relevant guidelines before bringing it before the community, act as a source for questions and advice from the project members, and in general, represent the project. Your work in the Tag & Assess drive for ]—something ] is probably going to have in the near future—and a decent amount of quality film content that you've cranked out were the primary reasons I thought you'd be a good candidate. — <font face="Segoe Script">]</font> <font face="Verdana"><sup>'''(])'''</sup></font> 08:18, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

| == Re: ] == | |||
| You should stop with your ownership on articles instead of asking me to stop edit warring. Weather the article does not need or needs soundtrack is not up to you. This is an encyclopedia sites. The matter is that the soundtrack is available and MUST be mentioned. Iam not sure what do meant by "Nor are you even formatting it or positioning it correctly if it were to have a soundtrack section." --] (]) 03:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :It has nothing to do with ownership, but with following guidelines, of which you are violating several (including ] - you were bold and attempted a merge, it was reverted, you don't keep trying to have you way anyway). The soundtrack is already given an appropriate mention in the merchandise section, including its release date. This is an encyclopedia, not a sales catalog. Including the tracklist is unnecessary and adds no value to the article. This is the overwhelming consensus among film articles, not just my personal point of view. Adding an album infobox is against the manual of style. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 03:38, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::I will agree with Sky. I mean you removed the amount made. Its not much. So what! It will increase through the coming days. Atleast it's giving the film a bit extra added to it. It may not be much because that was when it was opened in South Korea and just some of the box office openings. Dude, give me a break for once! ] (]) 08:20, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::See ]. Doing updates every few hours is really excessive, as it giving the first few minutes of its opening box office numbers. Let it at least actually finish opening first. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 08:23, 14 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

| I hope you don't mind if I don't read your reworked plot summary, since I'm only in chapter 8 right now and I want to keep it a surprise. David is learning to live the life of a Puritan and he doesn't like it much, nor do I. | |||
| Listen, I am not aware of any referencing guidelines. I use reflist|2 because I like the looks of it. If that's not right, please tell me where those guidelines are--cause this is what I use all the time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to the book--David is about to peruse the bookshelves at the Holly house. Did you know his father taught him French and German? Smart kid! ] (]) 02:34, 15 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :BTW, I see that you are childfree--if I were still childfree, this awful sentimental novel wouldn't make such an impression on me. You should read the whole thing; it's an excellent education in how America constructed its children. ] (]) 02:36, 15 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :That's fine. :) Feel free to tweak it when you're done reading it, I just quick skimmed it from Gutenberg, particularly the ending, to get the full summary in. For the references, the guideline I was mentioning is the guideline on resizing references. In general, an article should use <nowiki><references /></nowiki> unless and until it has enough references where resizing them to a small font size is at least somewhat justifiable (per consensus, this is usually requires at least 10 references). Two column format should be used sparingly and only when there are so many references that it is beneficial to the few users who can see it (again, consensus generally goes with at at least 20 well formatted references). See ] and the subsequent section on multiple columns for more on this. You might also want to read the talk page, which has several discussions on the whole multiple-column issue as they are a bit controversial and there have been discussions to remove the option all together. | |||
| :And yes, I am child-free, but that does not mean I have no interest in children and young adult novels. If you scan my library shelves, you'll find a good two dozen, at least, that I purchased purely for my own reading pleasure. Some classics I've read dozens of times even at my age. I do, however, tend to prefer animal-focused stories over human ones, apart from some ] works and a few select others. From the quick scanning of this novel, I was thinking it would make a great anime series :) -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 02:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Dear Collectonian, why are you so dead set on removing that reference to that section from The Book Mart, "Chronicle and Comment," 494-96? Have you done that twice or three times now? Maybe you are you a big fan of ''Seventeen''--that section talks at length about how they alternate in sales, and I know I shouldn't be interpreting, but it seems an obvious conclusion that it's a big deal to them, big enough to write about and publish in what is deemed a reliable source, yes, ]. Or is the intent really to bring down the number of separate references as much as possible? I mean, I assume you removed the reference to the ''The Continuum Encyclopedia of Children's Literature'' (under the guise of "one can't talk about other books") for that same reason. But you can sure cite policy... I'm waiting on your response to my citing policy, in the AfD. And on your explanation of how ''The English Journal'' is unnotable. Later! ] (]) 07:47, 15 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::Could care less about ''Seventeen'', however it is completely irrelevant. ''Just David'' was second and third, that's all that needs to be said, not throwing in all the details about another novel. Just making the prose concise, per Misplaced Pages editing guidelines. The same reason I've been rewriting a lot of your additions, as well as to fix basic tonal issues and way too much "gushing" going on. Prose should be written concisely, neutrally, and summarizing only what is said in the source, without adding any personal views, conclusions, etc, no matter how "obvious" it may seem. This is a fairly basic tenet of Misplaced Pages editing. As for the removed source, it seemed to only be about ''Seventeen''. As the line was removed, the source should be as well. And it has nothing to do with "bringing down the number of references" (a little ] wouldn't hurt here), but just throwing in unrelated references does not do the article any service either. ''The English Journal'' isn't notable if it doesn't meet the notability guidelines. Just because its published by a notable group does not make it notable. I've replied to all of your questions in the AfD itself as far as I can see. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 07:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

| There's some duscussion of the Rescue tag and Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer , you might want to look in on it. ] (]) 01:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I was not the first editor to remove the rescue tag, as an FYI. DF asked for consensus first after Farix removed it, so I backed up its removal. As you noted there, though, both of us are extremely active in the anime/manga project. A third person has now removed the tag, but DF removed it again. -- ] (] '''·''' ]) 02:15, 16 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == Hi girl! == | |||
| You know I have not one bit of bad feeling toward you, and plenty enjoy working with you. I can understand why you removed the tag at ] , but we already know that sometimes we can be wrong. I've tried to save articles that got deleted... and heck between you and I we saved an article you yorself originally thought unsalvagable. A nice DYK too. All someone tagging that newer article means is that they thought it might be saved and are asking for help. No more. No less. If they are unable to do so before the clock ticks down, it will be gone. No denying that. SO it doesn't hurt a thing to see what they can do with it. And I hope you are pleasently surprised if they make it a winner. If they don't..... well... don't gloat too much (chuckle). With best wishes, ''']''' '']'' 10:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I don't supposed anyone at the ARS has yet to correct Dream Focus' false statements that I was the first to remove the tag, not mentioned that I was not the last? I was simply supporting someone else's removal of the tag since ARS claims that rescue should not be used on every last AfD article, but only those that are salvagable (pretty sure that was part of the whole crux of its current deletion discussion). Particularly in this case, where he tags anything and everything, removes every prod and CSD, and basically refuses to acknowledge or accept the real notability guidelines. Three different editors removed that tag as being unnecessary and a waste of time. As a side note, I really hate being referred to as "girl".-- ] (] '''·''' ]) 13:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
