[edit] About vandalism warning

I was under the impression that placing in an article's name specifically in a vandalism warning meant that the warning is specifically for that article alone; that's why I didn't put article names in my last warning because it was for multiple articles. Had the vandal been warned about the other vandalisms he/she made, it would amount to a four-level warning anyway, so I don't see a problem there. :-/ --SilentAria talk 12:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright then, thanks. --SilentAria talk 15:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About the Negima pictures

Almost all of the pictures of the students in the Negima character articles (Characters of Negima (1-15) & Characters of Negima (16-31)) have been deleted. Won't you do something about it and reupload them? - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 02:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Magic in Negima

I have nominated Magic in Negima, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Magic in Negima. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

[edit] Anti-vandalism

Nice job on preventing the vandalism on Science fiction! (you were too speedy for me to get any reversions in!) TheRedPenOfDoom (talk) 20:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of minor fictional characters

I'm not a Wikipedia regular, so a little clumsy sometimes. However, I think the onus is on the creators of umpteen Galaxy Angel character pages to demonstrate notability. They might take offense, but there is a Galaxy Angel wiki for that. But I will revisit the pages to explain more, chiefly that "There are specific notability prerequisites to be met by fictional subjects to warrant articles specifically about them. As mentioned earlier, the rule of thumb is that if the topic is sufficiently notable, secondary sources should be available. It is important that articles give due weight to all aspects of the subject, and to avoid placing undue emphasis on minor points. This concerns all elements of the article page, including infoboxes and succession boxes as well as images and the text." Fences and windows (talk) 13:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yomiko Readman Page

Saw you removed the trivia note about Yomiko's cameos in Kamichu. Not sure why you removed it--it isn't "unsourced"--it clearly cites the name of the show and the episodes in which the cameos appeared. What further "source" do you think is required? It's a visual gag, it's not like there's any text to reference. Should thumbnail screenshots be included? Anyway, might be interesting to note R.O.D's creators dropped her character design into another show that they made. I didn't want to undo your edit before discussing your rationale (I know generally trivia sections in R.O.D are discouraged, but could be re-added under a header like "references in other series"). Anyway, thanks for your consideration and I hope you can clarify this for me. DeathQuaker (talk) 13:19, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response. When the primary source material provides the obvious information required, supporting sources aren't necessary (for example, if Yomiko Readman says in episode 15, "I am unemployed," I do not need to cite an external source outside the anime to prove that she is unemployed. If I did, it would be pointless and redundant, according to the best research practices taught to me while I was studying literature in graduate school). However, I guess the real question is if it's useful information to provide. I'll consider that, and if I do re-add the note about her appearance, I will provide appropriate screenshots and a quote from Kurata, the writer of both series, about it (I have to research that but I know there is one out there). Thanks for your time. DeathQuaker (talk) 17:31, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aeris Gainsborough

You'll have to inform me precisely what was incorrect about my edits, or I will be forced to assume you are merely pushing a biased agenda in direct conflict with a neutral point of view. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.246.135.192 (talk) 00:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

And your neutral point of view means using an incorrect translation of the term in which newer translation from the same company also reflects your incorrectness? Great, that is why you are introducing factual error into the article. The article got enough information as to why Aerith is used over Aeris, you ignored the fact that it is currently official, and use your own knowledge without sticking to the sources provided within, thus you are the one against the NPOV article, not me. Thank you. MythSearchertalk 03:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Look, we're beating a dead horse here. Your baseless assertion that "Aerith" is the only correct spelling is a personal opinion. It is explicitly stated in the article that both spellings have solid basis, and both spellings have been used in official publications. The intention I had when editing the article was to make sure the "Aeris" spelling is used when referring to her appearances in the games where that spelling is in fact used, thus improving the factual accuracy of the article. In addition, using the "Aerith" spelling on the "Aeris" disambiguation page is nothing more than confusing. It absolutely needs to be spelled "Aeris" on that page. I hope you'll recognize a well-reasoned argument and put aside personal issues for the benefit of the encyclopedia and its users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.246.135.192 (talk) 03:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
