You should be aware ...

... of the discussion at TTN's talk page. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I've responded there. Thanks for letting me know. Zarbon (talk) 19:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Are you watching the page? I left you a reply. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I know. I responded. If I don't get a chance to respond sooner, please be patient. I am rather busy. Thanks again. Zarbon (talk) 19:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

It's not a question of impatience, just wanted to know whether you watchlisted the page or not. Cheers! Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 01:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if my contribution is welcome since TTN deleted what I initially wrote. I don't think he wants my opinion, so maybe I shouldn't write on his talk page, but thank you very much for letting me know. I am more than happy to explain further here if you would like. Thanks again my dear friend. Zarbon (talk) 01:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Minor

Things like this are not minor, so please don't mark them as such. If you like, see WP:MINOR--Koji†Dude 22:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright. I won't mark the responses as minor. Thanks for the advice. Zarbon (talk) 01:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Image

The problem with the image is precisely its nature, fair use images are prohibited in userspace, including userboxes. This is because there is no way to extend fair use into user pages. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Then how are other userboxes using images particular to their designated shows, such as Star Wars. They are using lightsabers and this in itself is a simple gif comparison. Well, the wolfenstein image in itself is actually a sprite gif, not even a screenshot. It's actually a very small gif, so I don't think it creates a problem or major defect upon the rules. Help me out here, I really need a similar gif for the userbox. I appreciate your help and time. Zarbon (talk) 05:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The work is still derivative, that is the reason it keeps getting listed as a non-free image. Some of the lightsaber images have been deleted for being too close to the source while others ake kept because they have several differences, nevertheless characters are more strictly copyrighted, their entire likeness is usually copyrighted, thus it doesn't matter if the image's colors are alterated. - Caribbean~H.Q. 16:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I understand, but much of the image is altered to such an extent that only the actual bone structure of the image is left intact, therefore enabling for it to be kept. I only hope that this time, after this heavy alteration, the image will remain intact. Zarbon (talk) 19:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:FPS.PNG

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:FPS.PNG, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Re: Obvious Sockpuppets

Suggest filing a CheckUser case and see how things go. I'm not going to be really watching the Dragon Ball-related pages anymore because of this nonsense, so, I don't care much to get involved. Might do tweaks and vandalism reverts if I happen to stumble upon it, but won't vigourously watch the pages per lack of interest. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the first inclinations given by Collectonian and yourself in that entire collossal amount of deliberations you just mentioned there, in this argument. I would much prefer to go along with the original names, and I find that entire argument of "more popular" to be nonsense. It appears that the majority has won the argument regardless, which is inherently unavoidable. So I'd assume names like "Artificial Human" will be converted to "Android" just because of the English dubbing. A lame counterpart excuse. The original is Japanese, therefore the names should be kept in their original counterparts, because the initial show is Japanese, not English. The show was released and subtitled and dubbed in over 50 countries or so...it would be nonsense to go by all the names of the dubs. The only REAL names are those of the Japanese because they are original, they are the first, hence derived from the manga. I agree with you on this strongly, but what can we do?

About the recent vandalism, I'd really appreciate that a fellow contributor such as yourself didn't decrease your activity, it's best to always maintain a friendship in these articles so that we may put a stop to vandalizers and their overall annoying schemes. I'd assume that the ip addresses will check out, and if not, I have maintained a collection of ip addresses in connection to that same vandalizer at this point, since the same person has been following my contributions and either reverting or causing vandalism to the same pages. Your initial help prior has been strong and although my voice has been halted in the past along with many other fellow contributors alike. Please help me keep track of this sockpuppeteer's activity. I'm sure that if we all work together, we can put a stop to this vandalism. Zarbon (talk) 02:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement, but I really have no motive to update those pages anymore (already took them off my watchlist last night).

About the various socks you're dealing with, try asking User:Daniel Case to block them. He'll do it, given the edits are obvious of course. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I will of course follow your advice. He has apparently created another sockpuppet, this time King Zarbon to try and frame me. This behavior is what disgusts me. Zarbon (talk) 23:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Believe me, I can relate. There's some cyberstalker named User:JJonz who has it out for me, as well a plenitude of other disrupters which follow me around the wikis too. Of course, there's nothing a good CheckUser can't dish out right? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:19, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but this same person has been doing this for over three years straight. What possible course of action can I take to stop him? I understand that you know how I feel, and I sympathize strongly with you. He's created over 150 sockpuppets right here on wikipedia, and that is seriously not an exaggeration, as well as approximately 100 sockpuppets on wikiquote. He has gone on revert wars just to have me break the 3rr rule in order to get me banned through my anger. He's doing it still. I don't know how to combat this disgrace, this disgusting menace. He even goes as far as to use and abuse our user names in order to vandalize. Frankly, he's most likely done it to all of us...who the hell is DanCSeshmaroo...it's him...and if it's not him, it's someone just as disgusting as him. It's these same disgusting pattern vandals. Anyone who goes against his revert warring and sockpuppeteering becomes a victim. He has abused almost every constructive wikipedia editor for no apparent reason including me and you just because he feels like it. If it were up to me, I'd have him court-martialled and shot execution style, literally. But sadly, it isn't. You'd think that more than three years of this would have tired him, but instead, he continues to do what he did even more severely. Zarbon (talk) 00:30, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, no matter how much they instigate me I don't let it get to my head anymore, you shouldn't either. Vandals like Prince Zarbon, Wrestlinglover420, BlueShrek, and JJonz pissed me off a lot, but now I get over it quicker. Just make a CU case and he'll stop. It'll likely be a temporary relief, but at least you'll have some leverage. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 01:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Prince Zarbon is my name on my forum. He stole my name from there as well. I go by the name Prince Zarbon on most of my submissions. However, on that dbz wikia, it's him, the same exact pattern vandal. He is exerting and abusing my name wherever he pleases, and he has used the same user page layout trying to pin all his stupidity on me. I went through the same process on wikiquote, where I had to prove that he was the vandal the entire time, since he ripped off my name like fifty times. There should be a way to ban submissions from his entire zip code, that way he wouldn't be able to vandalize anymore. I don't know how you have the patience to deal with jerks like that. I'm serious. Also, I brought up some of the recent names to Daniel Case as you suggested. Lets hope he pulls that checkuser soon, because it can be tiring having to watch someone use and abuse your own username. Zarbon (talk) 03:12, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Been wanting to know, who used Prince Zarbon and Zarbon987? Also during my investigations, I honestly thought you, Wiki-star and Recoome were one and the same person. Couldn't really piece it together. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
