User talk:AnmaFinotera

I prefer to reply to comments on the page they were left, so if I left a comment on your page, reply there it is on my watch list. If you leave a comment here, watch this page until the discussion is done as I will only leave replies here. Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, an attempt at flame baiting, or that are excessively rude may be deleted without response. Comments from harassing editors or wikistalkers will also be summarily removed without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right, don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.

Are you here about an edit I made? You may want to check my user page first to get some general info on some common questions about edits I make. Here are some quick links as well:

• Explain the assessment you made on this TV or film article
• Why did you give X article Y tag(s)?
• Why did you change the reflist tag in an article to the references one, or visa versa?
• What do you mean you're "wikibonked"?

Lead paragraph of Dragon Ball

Can you take a shot at it? I just tried to rework it a bit during some copy-editing, but I don't know, something about the lead paragraph seems wrong. Or is it just me? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Gave it a whirl, let me know if that's any better. In the end, I think it should eventually be four paragraphs, but its hard to do much more with it until the rest of the article is copyedited, as I had trouble understanding some parts. The reception info could use some info on the sales of the anime series, if available. So much more work needed...weee -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 04:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adjusting it. Off the top of your head was a copy-edit request already made? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:49, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

So far as I know, not yet. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I expanded the lead a bit more. Does the to-do list need to be updated?Tintor2 (talk) 18:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi?.Tintor2 (talk) 00:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

That isn't quite what I meant about it needing expanding (and you undid much of the redo I did). The article itself needs more work before the lead can be finished anymore. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Question

I saw this Date audit, script-assisted; see mosnum | Delink common terms

And I'm wondering if you used some kind of shortcut instead of delinking the dates and such one by one.DragonZero (talk) 05:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm using a script to do it quickly. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

How do you use a script?DragonZero (talk) 05:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

You add it to your monobook.js file. If you aren't familiar with them, though, you shouldn't start with a script like this as its easy to make a boo boo. Usually one of the first scripts people use are thinks like Friendly (tagging and welcoming) or Twinkle (reverting, issuing warnings, filing ARVs, xFDing, PRODs, and CSDs). Once you have it installed, the script will add new tabs at the top of the page or maybe new links to the left side, that you can click for additional function. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:28, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Two more questions. Since I recently had a name change, I can't access my discussion page anymore and everytime I do it takes me to the usurped DragonZero. Another question is whether I should delink names in red that about voice actors or actors.DragonZero (talk) 05:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I saw when it was being done and I think the admin who did your name change didn't quite finish doing your talk page. You may want to ask him to double check that. For the voice actors, in general yes they should be delinked unless its likely they will have articles made for them. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 06:03, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposal of Revisit of Touhou Project or Tōhō Project?

Long title. Help.Moocowsrule (talk) 06:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)moocowsrule

I just re-read the WP:MJ and realized I was pretty wrong... so sorry, you can delete this...Moocowsrule (talk) 06:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)moocowsrule

O_O. OMG!!! Tōhō Project is more popular than Touhou Project according to Google! Revisit back on.Moocowsrule (talk) 06:52, 11 October 2008 (UTC)moocowsrule

Left a response there, but seems Touhou Project is the more commonly used name. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 15:28, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Blood+ light novels

I just noticed that the release dates for the first four novels on the List of Blood+ light novels page are different from those stated on the ISBN pages of the original books, sometimes off by a whole month. I bought them as they were coming out, so I know the dates in the books are the correct dates, but they don't match up with the ones on the Kadokawa Shoten. Normally when this happens I just use the book as the reference, but since you've put a lot of work into this page, I wanted to ask you first. Grapeofdeath (talk) 19:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm...not sure what to do there. I have never seen the books themselves used as sources for their release date, likely because the dates may be changed after the books are printed. Maybe see if another source agrees with what's in the books? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not sure about this either. Perhaps it's best to stay with the Kadokawa site since it's an official source. I'll look around, but If I don't see anything else that agrees with the books, I'll stick with the site. I've used books as a source in the past, mainly when they're old enough for their dates not to appear on amazon.co.jp and they're not on any official site.

Questions

I have done clean-up to Talk:Teletubbies.Is the Teletubbies article a core article?I was trying to mark it as such but if it's not I'll leave it alone.I put up a notice for sources too.I'd like to merge Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh! with the Teletubbies as well.Thanks Moblieisanawesomecity (talk) 20:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh I forgot: what are we going to do about Talk:Tinky Winky?Tinky Winky has now been merged and my redirect apperenty wasn't helpful.So should we just delete it?I'm wondering about Talk:Dipsy and Talk:Teletubbies trivia to...Moblieisanawesomecity (talk) 22:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

No, it is not a core article. The project decides what a core article is, not a single editor. Talk pages of merged articles are not redirected. Project templates are removed and if they have existing discussion, it is marked as an archive. That's it. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Encyclopedia

Hi collectian, can I ask you something? I saw you added to Dragon Ball and Tokyo Mew Mew production info about them? Does it contain production about Bleach or Fullmetal Alchemist? Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 00:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

The Anime Encyclopedia? No, it was published before either of those was released, unfortunately. I don't know if the second edition might have them or not, but I think it also came out before them. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

		The Special Barnstar
		For fixing my massive cockups on several occasions and investing time into improving the articles in general when a simple revert may have sufficed. Dandy Sephy (talk) 00:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, and sorry if I was a little snappy. Just totally threw me for a loop, but in the end this will result in a boost for the list. Take a look at the changes I made to see how to do the transclusion style splits that are now preferred (and I do agree, we need to put this somewhere, but alas, when I suggested it before as an addition to the MoS it was rejected). -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:55, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem. At first I was a bit WTF!?!?!?, but while I don't necessarily understand the ins and outs, I can see why it's better. It's frustrating for me because without anything to say how it should be done, I'm just going to think Wp:Bold and make the changes if I see no reason not to. I seem to be 50% do it right away and 50% ask first and then not actually do it. I was a bit eager to get it done so I could say I achieved something :p This "I break it, you fix it" seems to be becoming an annoying habit though... Dandy Sephy (talk) 01:03, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Long as ya keep learning from the breaks, its cool ;) You have some time to work on the air dates and titles? ANN has all of them to use as a starting point. I'll start with season 1 if you want to hit season 2? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually I've already started season1! Dandy Sephy (talk) 01:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, guess I'll do season 2 then :P BTW, don't forget the Romanji titles :P -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Only got a partial list for those. I'm doing one field type at a time to minimise mistakes Dandy Sephy (talk) 01:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey guys I think I made a mess while adding the theme song to the seasons. Just check the main list. What happened?Tintor2 (talk) 13:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Woops...somehow the closing onlyinclude got dropped on the season 2 page. All fixed-- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 13:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Citing standards

Increasing involvement in yonkoma articles like List of Lucky Star characters and Sunshine Sketch raised a question: should they be cited in the same way as other manga using {{cite book}} with page accuracy, or use {{cite comic}} with strip-accuracy? Thanks!--Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 16:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Manga volumes should always be sited using cite book with page accuracy as they are not released the same as American comics. :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Even when yonkoma is more akin to the strip comics in the US?--Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 16:49, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Are they yonkoma from manga volumes or from some other medium? If they are in a regular manga volume, yes, still use cite book and cite the page. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
