Your attempt to send Serenity (manga) to AfD

I removed the AfD tag from Serenity (manga) because no AfD was listed for over 8 hours after the tag was added. You can re-add the tag, but you have to finish the AfD listing process for the AfD to become valid. You can find instructions on how to properly nominate an article for deletion here. --Coredesat 09:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are these your relations? — coelacan talk — 02:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yarr, no problem. I noticed you grabbed the top of it from my tables, and I still sort of remembered how to fix them. btw we also have tanuki-standcat userbox: {{User:Coelacan/Userboxes/cat lover}} although you can't see his face very well. I can make userboxes with any pictures, text, and colors, so let me know if you need anything. — coelacan talk — 07:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Thanks for pointing out the spoiler in Ichigo's article (don't know how we managed not to notice it). If you like Tokyo Mew Mew, I have some Tokyo Mew Mew Userboxes that you can place on your user page. ~_^ Yume no Kishi

reply to berry shirayuki's article

"She also took a school entrance exam just because of their school uniforms, which could mean she completely blew off their academic specifications, which led her still be labeled as a complete idiot,"

Well, this part, I went to some forums relating to Tokyo Mew Mew, and fans a problem with this. I also went to anime news network, and they didn't positivly comment on this.

"as it is very strange to go to a school simply for the uniforms, let alone some pre-teens, teens and sometimes parents don't positively comment on school uniforms."

I also went to some opinion sites about school uniforms, and some parents, and teens had a problem with uniforms, therefore I added it. I was talking about non-Japanese fans, as I don't the Japanese's piont of veiw.

Do you have a site where you found out that in Japan it is common to go to a school for the uniforms.

Would this be the reason you put that banner?

"THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 05:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


in page 2 of the manga, berry says she take a school enterence exam for the uniforms. She doesn't say anything about the acidemic spefications. She even says "I didn't check up on anything about this school except the uniform..." Plus, the school kids are rather rich, and I she didn't realize that when she decided to take the exam. There is no mention what her dad say. Plus, seeing how I've already seen many fans opinion of her reason to go to her school, so I really can't change it.

"THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 06:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Well when you're forced to go to a school with an ugly uniform for 13 years, you don't feel unsympathetic towards a character who chooses to go to a school with a pretty one"

..Where did this come from? How does this relate to a manga originally intended for kids?....

"Fanforums are biased, Wikipedia is supposed to be 100% neutral and what some fans say about some characters are irrelevant to an encyclopedia article."

Yes they are, but I dont see you commenting on the rest of her "criticism" section. Whenever there is ovbious criticsm/reception on an article, a fans reception comes into play. It is rather hard to be neutral on fan's opinion. Plus, anime news network is a reliable source, so once again, I can't change that reaction to her choosing a school just because of the uniforms.

"THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 06:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

" It was probably the author's intention to make Berry a ditzy character, many magical girl heroines are."

And the reaction of some fans, is that they did not like this, and other factors that I've alreasy written on the criticism section.

"Berry is only 12 after all, it is fitting with the age of her character that she might be tempted by a pretty uniform, and forget about academic expectations"

What would her dad think? There is no mention of what her dad thought.

I believe your going too much into this....The whole thing is only on like 3 pages and not even fully explained so I believe you assuming many things..

"THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 07:09, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"I believe you're the one going too much into this and assuming many things."

^^ quote: "I envy the purple school uniforms of Wesley College, Melbourne..." Your relating this too much of your personal experience about school uniforms.

"You're mentioning the dad, who cares what the dad thought?"

Well, gee, um oh I dont know, maybe because when ever a kid is considering transferring to a school, a parent will almost always voice an opinion...

"He wasn't mentioned in the first 3 pages"

..which goes back to is not even fully explained...

Apparently I need to explain to you why I wrote that section....I'm removing that banner you put because this discussion is rather flawed, so anything discussed here is not NPOV.

"THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!"

"I know exactly why you wrote that section, you're using "the fans" opinions to disguise your own, which is why that section is so heavily biased."

I would have to say this is a rather dumb assummption. Go see forums about berry, and school uniforms. You reason for that section being biased is also rather badly thought out. I actually went to sites to see if should add something to it, and you are relating yourself to a 3 page "explaination" about it. Now, do you even have the mangas? You replies are implying you don't. If you havent seen anything sites about it, I suggest you dont assume that it is all biased.

"THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 07:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Now, do you even have the mangas? You replies are implying you don't."

And yet you have not answered my question.

I am certain you didnt do this. Go look at the history of that section. You will see that other people have said stuff like "there are more beery-haters then lovers" etc. You will see that it is much more biased than the current version Because of this, I believe no admin or whatever could go object it cause it pretty ovbious there is a reaction to berry. Dont go assuming at I only wrote it.

AfD Nomination: Garry Schultz

An editor has nominated the article Garry Schultz for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Garry Schultz. Add four tildes like this ~~~~ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Garry Schultz during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Deletion nominations

That's proably enough christian rock nominations in one go... Doing "bulk" nominations often has the opposite to the intended effect. - brenneman 06:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To expand on the above comment, Candy-Panda, thanks for looking out for Wikipedia. But please take into consideration WP:N and WP:BAND in particular before nominating bands for deletion. A discography is a claim of notability, and depending on the label, it proves the claim. If you are doubtful, feel free to link to the label's website as a source. Sure, we need to cite secondary sources, but primary sources are helpful as well. —siroχo 09:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

G'day shella of the west island, was about to say something similar to what those two above said. What I'll add is that I suggest doing a small amount of [google|basic research] first before listing something on AfD in future. While some of the ones you listed looked like me too that perhaps they should be deleted, because I took a quick sniff round I found most of them actually seemed ok. I always (and strongly believe everybody else should do the same too) put more work into listing an AfD than voting on it (though most of my votes I typically check out very carefully too). Mathmo Talk 11:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please please please do this, candy-panda. I've had to follow your contributions for the last few days to catch each article you nominate. Please do not rely on your knowledge and the text of the article, rather, check the text of the article against WP:N and WP:MUSIC (for bands, etc), perform some research on Google or wherever else appropriate, and then consider nominating it. Realize that every time you don't do this research, multiple other editors will, and therefore you are increasing the amount of work it takes to achieve essentially the same result (anywhere from double to ten-fold depending on the number of people who respond to the AFD). If you don't have time to do the research, don't nominate it! Also, please realize that unsourced claims within an article are not a reason for deleting that article, you can simple be bold and remove those claims yourself! Please, Candy-panda, do not continue to nominate articles in the method you have been. —siroχo 15:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, sorry about this but I'm going have to agree with siroχo again. Certainly for some of the borderline cases I had to put in quite a lot of work (silly wikipedia addiction...) to make sure they would be kept. You are rather young and kinda new to wikipedia as well? Perhaps it would be a good idea to get another more experienced editor to check over your next few AfD's before you submit them yourself? For instance I'm sure both myself and siroχo would be glad to help out if you get in touch with us through our talk pages. Mathmo Talk 10:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Free use images on user pages

I have removed the panda candy image from your user page since Wikipedia doesn't allow free use images on user pages. Check out WP:USER#Images on user pages and Wikipedia:Fair use criteria (especially 8 and 9) to learn more. Thanks. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 08:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From WP:USER#Images on user pages:
Please do not include non-free images (images uploaded to Wikipedia without the permission of the copyright owner, or under licenses that do not permit commercial use) on your user page or on any subpage thereof (this is official policy and the usual wide user page latitude does not apply, see Wikipedia:Fair use criteria for details). Non-free images found on a user page (including user talk pages) may be removed (preferably by replacing it with a link to the image) from that page without warning (and, if not used in a Wikipedia article, deleted entirely).
From Wikipedia:Fair use criteria:
Any non-free media used on Wikipedia must meet all of these criteria:
1. …
8. The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose.
9. Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. They should be linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are the topic of discussion. This is because it is the policy of the Wikimedia Foundation to allow an unfree image only if no free alternative exists and only if it significantly improves the article it is included on. All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the templates used as part of the Main Page).
10. …
I hope that explains why. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 09:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's great that you asked why, since all I've really told you is "because Wikipedia says so!" We are lucky here at the English Wikipedia, since many other Wikipedias have banned the use of copyrighted material altogether. The argument goes that since an image is copyrighted, we shouldn't be allowed to use it at all. But on the other hand, the use of copyrighted material is justifiable for criticism and commentary. According to this, the only acceptable use of these images is in articles where they are discussed.
It seems stupid that, although the image has already been uploaded and is being used legitimately in an actual article, it can't be used on a user page! I would agree. Personally, I am not a strong believer in copyrights. But in the end, that is how Wikipedia works, and Wikipedia owns the servers on which these images are stored. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 09:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

how to be more ruthless and still have time for a bamboo break

Hi Candy-Panda. =) Considering the time you spend in AFD, I think you'd benefit from the advice at Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. It's important to remember that AFD is not a vote, and if you use the arguments in that list, your input is not likely to be counted for much by the closing admin. So hopefully that page will help you use your time wisely. Drop by my talk page if you've got questions! Peace, — coelacan talk — 10:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Odd eyed cats

Those sources look pretty legit to me. Written by doctors, it wouldn't seem the people at Purina would have any reason to make that up. I might have gone overboard on the citation tags (sometimes I get citation happy, but better too many than too little). Well cited, quirky facts like this almost always make it to the front page. Keep your eyes peeled, sometimes they are only up for eight or ten hours, but then they are always archived.A mcmurray 08:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Too much Ribbon/Reborn

You're not the first person to say it...

We'd be glad if one or two sentences about the attacks was enough, and we originally did not intend this section to be so large. I think it'll be shortened once we add a proper citation: we have a source now. However, back when we just inserted this stuff into the articles, it was constantly getting deleted by those who don't believe. Pictures are for those who don't have the original manga, or just need to see the difference between the katakana with their own eyes. The reason why we keep it in all Mews' articles is because we got tired of fixing this "ribbon" thing, as some people don't even bother to look into other articles. And if you read the stupidity on Ichigo's article talk page (and my opinion on it on Angelofdeath275's talk page), you'll see that just stating it was a mistake isn't enough. I say again - we'd be glad not to insert so much info about this, but some wikiusers are apparently not mature enough to just agree it's a mistake. We simply wanted to point out that Tokyopop made a mistake (and it seems to be a common thing for them... just remember "Sailor Moon"...), and then random people started to call us stupid here on Wikipedia talk pages (for the articles not even related to TMM) and in their LiveJournals. It's just sad.

However, I was thinking of moving this stuff from the main article to the "International adaptations of Tokyo Mew Mew" article, as I believe it is a more appropriate place for this. Then the notes in other articles can be replaced with links to this one explanation. Once we found a source, we don't need to keep this stuff from being deleted: if we add a citation or a link to a review about this, the section will no longer be marked OR. Unfortunately, Angelofdeath275 has computer problems now, so I'll wait and see if I can convince her to do this (since she was the one who made this section, I won't move it myself). I do agree that it's too much, as I myself want to shorten this section, but I explained above why there is so much stuff...

  • That's okay, I understand how immature some TMM fans can be. ;) I've recently been battling with trying to remove some biased ranting that a certain user keeps putting on the Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode and Berry Shirayuki pages. It's gone for now, but I'm sure it will soon be back up again. ^^; --Candy-Panda 06:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very late comment

late comment, computer issues.

My issue with you referring Berry and A la mode's article is that you indirectly stated you have not read the manga. So, you would have a hard time seeing what is a lie, half truths, fabrications, etc.

My other issue with you is that you couldnt even comment on my talk page about it and went on the anime manga project page, without even telling me (you got make a discussion then tell the other person to restate their side of the arguement). That annoyed me. What is so hard to comment to the person you have an issue with? I dont see what it is hard.

You first sounded like a ranting fan about the school uniforms, then went suddenly referred to the entire section. At that point I thinking "Ok, this must be another of those people from Red Data Forums. I'm not gonna listen to this person.", and blew off whatever you said.

Then when I told you that I did not only wrtie up that section on Berry's article, you constantly said I did. That pissed me off so at that point I'm like " If this person won't listen to me, why should I listen to this person?"

I don't like it whenever someone removes an enitre section, ever since the "reborn" section was removed many times. I see the person whoever deleted it, what ever the reason as someone I know I will not like, and basically as vandals.

Bottom line, if you have an issue with me, I'd perfer it if you said it to me (commenting on my talk page) then indirectly saying your issue (article talk pages, don't really pay attention to them). I have an issue with people not directly stating their issue with me.

Hello

I had to revert your image upload to the Dental braces article. While the old image isn't quite attractive - it was released into the public domain, and is therefore suitable for use on Wikipedia. However, the new image you uploaded was based on a fair use rationale. If we have a free or GFDL-licensed image for an article, we tend to use that image instead of a fair-use image, for copyright reasons. You are free to replace the existing image if you create your own image, find one already GFDL or CC licensed, or released into the public domain. Ali (t)(c) 03:49, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hellopandastrawberry.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hellopandastrawberry.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Image:KaoriSSX3.jpg

I have tagged Image:KaoriSSX3.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. BigrTex 17:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is not clear to me which of the copyright tags you've placed on this image is correct, but you have not added a rationale, so I have retagged it as {{no rationale}}. Please review the fair use rationale guideline and ask questions if you don't understand what is required. ~ BigrTex 20:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nyago

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Nyago, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Nyago-sleeps.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Nyago-sleeps.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Unspecified source for Image:BadtzMaru.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:BadtzMaru.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 08:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Blues_Clues_Steve_Burns.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Gabesaporta2.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Gabesaporta2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 14:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
