User talk:G.A.S

Thank you so much!

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		For your most kind and beautiful gesture to me when I needed a little warmth and a smile, you've not only earned this starry gift, dear G.A.S., but a new friend too :) Thank you so much! Love, Phaedriel - 05:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me, and for your kind offer, dear :) I just updated my Barnstars section and moved all that were not listed at my userpage yet after you pointed that to me. I don't really have a criteria to carry them there, I just do it every now and then - but sometimes I forget, like now, and there actually was a backlog! :) I've put the one you gifted me at my userpage with pride. Once again, thanks for your kindness and the heads up! :) Love, Phaedriel - 04:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Your userpage is great!

Hi there, dear G.A.S.! Well, dear, allow me to tell you I am very impressed by your current userpage, and I love it just the way it is! The tables and layout are impeccable, and the color theme is most pleasant to the eye. I would personally be proud of that design, had I made it! ;) Of course, the contents of your current userpage are brief, so there isn't much more to work on; if you add more stuff in the future, some layout enhancements can be made. But as it stands, it's just - perfect! Great work! :) Love, Phaedriel - 03:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

A smile for you!

Smile a little, smile a little, all along the road; Every life must have its burden, every heart its load. Why sit down in gloom and darkness with your grief to sup? As you drink Fate's bitter tonic, smile across the cup. Smile upon the troubled pilgrims whom you pass and meet; Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms, oft for weary feet. Do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face; Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the place. Smile upon your undone labour; not for one who grieves O'er his task waits wealth or glory; he who smiles achieves. Though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years, Smile a little, smile a little... even through your tears! Ella Wheeler Wilcox A little gift for my wonderful friend G.A.S., and an incredibly big "thank you!" for always being a light of kindness and support whenever it's needed.

Sandbox - FA cleanup checklist

• Is logical quotation used (WP:PUNC)?
• Are all links live (WP:DEADLINK)?
• Are there hyphens (-) left to be replaced by en dashes (WP:DASH)?
• Have dates been delinked (WP:MOSLINK#Dates, WP:MOSNUM#Date autoformatting, WP:OVERLINK#Dates)?
• Are there unnecessary links i.e. common country names (WP:OVERLINK)?
• Have all quotes been cited?
• Does citations use pp. for plural and p. for singular?
• Have disambiguation pages been bypassed?
• Does the lead follow the structure of the article as a whole?
• Is the serial comma used consistently, or not at all (except where its removal would confuse matters)?
• Does the article contain the word "seems" (WP:OR)?

Yaoi reassessment?

Re: List of Air soundtracks

Regarding this edit on the talk page, I reverted it since I checked WP:MOS, WP:MOSMUSIC, and WP:MOS-AM and there was no mention of hidden sections in any of them.--十八 09:44, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I believe this is included in "Don't use techniques that require physical action to provide information" per Wikipedia:Accessibility, but I will look the specific guideline up. G.A.S 10:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

With all due respect, that's under the text section of the page, and even follows up with the examples of "such as tooltips or any other "hover" text", which these hidden tables are not. Looking down at the tables section, there is nothing restricting hidden tables. Plus, I have seen this used before, even in GA rated and FA rated articles, which is where I got the idea. Not to mention that {{tracklist}} uses an example of a hidden track listing.--十八 23:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

On second thought, you seem to be right (I have found {{tracklist}} myself recently). G.A.S 16:34, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Assessment of articles

Hi G.A.S! I am wondering how you came to the conclusion that List of Bleach episodes (season 1), a featured list, needs urgent attention. Same goes for the other articles in the series, which I reviewed and none of them seem to require major cleanup. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 16:21, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

The summaries are too short per current standards, but this is not severe enough to send it to FL review (in this case, the FL status makes it urgent, not the short descriptions), refer to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 30#Reasonable length for plot summaries?. I have added in comment the reasoning where I said it needs attention. (If you require more details, please be specific, as I have assessed hundreds of articles by now). G.A.S 16:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I was mostly dazzled because, for example, you also said that 'some descriptions are too long' in the Season 5 list, which has only slightly longer descriptions. Also, it is my understand that only articles needing urgent attention should be tagged with attention=yes, certainly enough to immediately remove the FA star, not articles with minor problems like the 6 lists. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 16:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

More about season 5: it appears that the longest summary there is about 270 words (which is actually about 200 words if non-words like 'of' and 'the' are excluded, which they should be), so it's well within the guideline as MOSTV. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 16:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

When determining attention, I reckon that three factors should be taken into account: The actual problems; The quality, and the importance. Hence, issues on FL are more important.

When assessing, I look out for, amongst other things, consistency of lengths (Not just words, but also actual spacing). In this case, episode 100 seems much longer than the average due to the multiple paragraph breaks. In any case, if the lead is fixed, most of those articles can be listed at WP:ANIME/ASSESS, as they are much better than the average. Believe me, if the articles had series issues they would have been rated start, as I would not need to complete the B class checklist—it slows down my progress significantly to do so.

Collectonian's quite right, I should have left one of these here too. I do apologise!

B-class review

Well, that's certainly new since I've been gone. I figured the thing in the project banner was just a handy checklist so newbies would have some clue what they should be aiming for before upping an article to that level, not more bureaucratic red tape. But whatever, thanks for the constructive criticism on VS. --erachima talk 11:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

By monitor, I meant that I keep an eye over the log file, which has not quite yet been updated:) The review is not mandatory, though recommended. G.A.S 12:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Your Katsuji Matsumoto review

You just completed a B-class review of Katsuji Matsumoto and said on the talk page that the introduction needs more "meat." I'm not sure what you mean or what kind of material you think could be added. Can you explain? Timothy Perper (talk) 06:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Zombie Powder citations

Thanks for the review. What's specifically wrong with the referencing though? (I'm guessing it's either lack of quantity/variety or you don't like how I've arranged them in the text.) --erachima talk 05:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Nothing serious is wrong but the following could be improved;) Regards, G.A.S 06:09, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

• I recommend using {{cite web}} and completing (at least) the following parameters: |url= | title=| publisher= |date= | accessdate=
• The article needs more citations, esp. the reception section
• Make sure the references display neatly, esp with regards to formatting, and consistency of details.
• Citations 11-13 is not clear to me, use {{cite book}}.

• Those are web refs from the Viz site, and are incomplete because the referenced page, not being a "published article" in the traditional sense, does not contain the standard author/date info.

• • If you like to, update the specific references to use the style employed in General relativity, eg reference 178 relativity#CITEREFHawking1987 1 and 2.
  • Otherwise, use full {{cite book}} references.

Alright, I'll keep working on it. Your advice is always appreciated. I'm really not looking forward to hunting down additional reviews though, since there are always 5 useless blog posts for every tolerably professional page and it ends up taking forever. I suppose I could solve this problem for myself by writing about better-known subjects, but where's the fun in that?

On the plus side it should be easier than Vinland Saga was, since ZP at least exists in English. --erachima talk 07:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Tuxedo Mask

Is two missing citations on Tuxedo Mask too much for a B-classification? One of the two citations is not critical to the article. We're currently looking for the originator of the other one via website. Thanks.--Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 23:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Discussion Closing

Hey, would you be willing to close Talk:List of Bleach characters#Kisuke Urahara this last merge discussion on the Bleach talk page? As I've weighed in, and its the more contentious of them, I do not feel comfortable closing it myself as I would close it as a merge, agreeing with the recent IP remarks that the opposes do not address the issues. That, however, would appear non-neutral. As you didn't participate in the discussion, I think you could close it either way without major complaint. -- [[::User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[::User talk:Collectonian|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Collectonian|contribs]]) 00:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Tenjho Tenge's Importance rating

Right now Tenjho Tenge article has a importance rating is Low. I believe it should have a mid rating because the manga and anime has achieved wide commercial success outside of Japan. It has sold over 10.7 million copies (back in 2007). It is one of CMX's one of our best-selling titles. When the volumes are released, it usually is at the top both Tohan and Diamond Comic Distributors best selling manga. The anime has been broadcast in at least eight different countries. I know I could change it myself, but I would prefer some impartial editor to change it if they think it deserves to be changed. (Duane543 (talk) 02:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC))

Y I believe that you are correct. Regards, G.A.S 04:35, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Admin

Any particular reason why you're not one? Ever had an RfA? --Dweller (talk) 12:48, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

There is no particular reason why not, nor have I ever had a RfA, but I had some time to think about a detailed reply.

The short version is that I have never required the tools of the trade before.

The long version is as follow: I am mostly active in and around WikiProject Anime and manga, mostly with cleanup and other administrative tasks, such as reviewing articles; this leaves little time to participate in AFD and similar project wide tasks (usually associated with admins). I have also always found that administrators are usually quick in responding to requests for speedy deletions (usually CSD:G6), so I have never had to request the rights to do these things myself.

This does not mean that I am not willing to be an administrator, of course, and the associated tools do find a way to be useful: In the past I often considered using WP:AWB, but ended up doing the same items by hand, until such time when I had to categorise a few hundred redirects (an especially daunting task by hand). At that time I requested authorisation to use AWB, and have never looked back since, as I find it extremely useful. (Often performing tasks not usually associated with AWD, e.g. assessing articles for class and importance.) I have also performed tasks with it on request. I believe the same would go for admin rights.

Regards, G.A.S 05:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, before I hike into your contribs, a couple more questions. 1) Would you therefore consider that if you got the tools, it would be mostly just for the convenience of being able to handle your own speedies, mostly G6s? 2) Any skeletons in your cupboard of the incivility/edit warring type? I think we only need worry about the last year or so, unless there's anything really truly significant in your (lengthy) back catalogue! --Dweller (talk) 09:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Consider, yes, I believe so.

Any skeletons: I believe not. I believe in always remaining civil, even when it is difficult, and I believe in 1RR (And have never broken 3RR).

Lengthy, well, that is more to do with the nature of my edits: Some of the administrative tasks affects a lot of pages, and there is easily enough work to double my edit count over the next few months;).

Regards, G.A.S 09:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I feel honoured. I would have asked that you complete the process, as it seems that you are currently offline, I have completed the process. Regards, G.A.S 17:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Given the hoo-ha around User:SoWhy's userbox at his current RfA, I had a look at your userspace. I admit I don't understand the ANAL 4 userbox at all - is it supposed to be humorous? --Dweller (talk) 10:32, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

CE Question

For something different, a quick (hopefully) copyedit type question. On all of the GAs, FLs, etc I've worked on, when discussing home video releases its always been phrased along the lines of "X was released to DVD on..." or "to VHS" etc. I did the same when doing a rescue clean up List of Record of Lodoss War episodes and fixing up its lead. Another editor, who has noted that English is not his first language, changed it to "on DVD" claiming that its more popular because of the number of Google hits. To me, "to" still seems more grammatically correct than "on" but I told him I'd check with someone else to see. Thoughts? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I would strongly recommend asking User:Scartol, as he has a better track record with copy-editing. Personally, I prefer "on" (And I am not sure about "to" being grammatically correct). See also: wikt:to, wikt:on, and wikt:release. G.A.S 06:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Will do :) I generally use to myself, but also use on sometimes when talking LOL. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 13:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Congrats on your adminship.

What did you want to discuss? -- Logical Premise ^Ergo? 19:09, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

If you would like to continue the discussion regarding the oppose vote, and what it would have taken to a support vote, please do as I would like to understand your reasoning--I would like to take this opportunity to learn; though I presume actions speak louder than words; it will probably be better for me to prove that I am the right type of person for the task? Regards, G.A.S 19:22, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Let's just say that I used to be a pretty prolific editor on WP, and that events made me decide to quit, but I got bored and came back. And now I tend to look at things with a bit less of the wikipedia-centric blinders that I used to. My opposes in RfA are designed to reflect one thing only -- can I have complete confidence that this editor won't end up a) abusing the tools b) wasting time with the tools when they could be writing articles or c) get in the way of the proper operations of the encyclopedia. There are people I would never nominate for Admin or vote support for, not because they would be bad admins but because they are excellent article writers, and article writing > admin actions. In this case, there's nothing you can really say to change my mind because you *are* an asset to WP and the work you've done is of such a quality that you should be writing, not reverting silly vandals. The fact that you are more inclined to merge is a minor bother. But a lot of my "admin requirements" are fitting those who would be excellent admins because they don't focus on the article writing in the first place.

If it makes you feel better, I have no doubt you would never abuse the tools or do anything to harm WP. :) -- Logical Premise ^Ergo? 19:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Need help with some articles in the assessment drive

Hi, sorry to bother you, but while going through the assessment drive, I've came upon these few articles, Japanese in Mangaland, Japanese Movie Database, and Japanese the Manga Way. I am wondering if you know they would belong in the project (I've removed the banner from the first one even), for the first and the third one, I got confused since that as it says in WP:ANIME's scope, "the project maintains an essential focus on media meant primarily for consumption in Japan. Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on or are similar to Japanese media in terms of content or form regrettably do not fall under our scope", but while so, it does teach Japanese, which may make it falls under WP:JA instead. The third one also has the problem that, as far as what I can understand by reading the article, uses manga transcripts, which brings up if it falls under the project's scope, if that the first article doesn't qualify. For the second article that I've listed, as far as I can read from the article, it doesn't have anything that has to do with anime and manga, but by logical sense I think it would also lists anime, particularly movies,though seeing that Internet Movie Database doesn't fall under WP:FILM's scope I think it probably wouldn't fall under WP:ANIME. I am wondering if you can provide an opinion on these few articles.

Also, I am wondering if you can help moving Jean Carry (Gundam character) to Jean Carry, since as it appears, Jean Carry only exists as an redirect to the character article. (Even if it doesn't, it will still goes to Jean Carry (Gundam) or Jean Carry (Gundam Seed) anyways) Thanks in advance. -- クラウド６６８ 23:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I would put the first and third articles under WP:JA's scope due to "...produced for consumption outside of Japan..." (Though I believe this section usually refers to Korean works in the Japanese style.) Now, if these books were used as sources within our project, that would be different. I agree with your reasoning for the second article; but it was created and tagged by Nihonjoe, so I trust his judgement. Otherwise we should discuss this on WT:ANIME, as it was tagged a long time ago.

As for Jean Carry (Gundam character), I am a bit concerned about the character's notability, which means it should probably merged to a list of characters. I have completed the move. Note that Image:Jean Carry Insignia.jpg, requires the fair use rationale template. G.A.S^talk 05:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

That reminds me, I should really get back to assessing articles... G.A.S^talk 06:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Haha, I haven't worked on it a lot too recently (In fact I never really did except for the first few days perhaps). But yeah I am also concerned about the notability of those character pages, since there's just apparently too many of them, in even the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series alone. But since I have only watched the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 series I really wouldn't know if this character would really weighs out compared to the others. Anyways, thanks for helping with the articles! -- クラウド６６８ 17:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

On the first point: the trick is pacing: Assessing a few articles everyday is more sustainable than wearing yourself out all at once: By assessing 10 or 20 articles daily, you can finish a list or two in a month; even 30 daily is not too bad (As opposed to doing 150 all at once (an example of what not to do)). On the third point, have you seen these two templates? G.A.S^talk 05:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

That example you showed me just totally shocked me there, as I pretty much never did get around assessing more than 20 articles per day after day 1, still I suppose I should get a bit more active I think, as I am moving quite slowly. As for the templates, I've seen {{WikiProject Gundam}} before, but it's really my first time to come across {{WikiProject CE}}, thanks for notifying me about that. -- クラウド６６８ 22:15, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I had a bit of time to kill, that does not happen often:(. If only I did 20 daily, 150 at a time would be unnecessary. G.A.S^talk 10:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Congrats!

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5) Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Thank you very much! I needed that! G.A.S^talk 16:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm serious about the offer in #6, btw. KillerChihuahua^?!? 18:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, and I never doubted you for a moment:-) G.A.S^talk 05:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Talkpage message

You can edit User talk:G.A.S/Editnotice (like mine: User talk:Caulde/Editnotice) - adding either a template or templating the local wiki name of a page (e.g. {{User:G.A.S/template}}). Congrats on becoming an admin by the way. Caulde 16:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I will look into the whole message idea. I wonder why almost no-one knows about it? G.A.S^talk 05:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Guess we're too clever. :) Caulde 17:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
