Hey, I have a suggestion on the CCS albums (tracklisting and all). I saw the Code Geass article on the Drama CDs and Original Soundtrack. I suggest that we create a List of Cardcaptor Sakura albums. What do you think?

I think he was being a bit too unfair and ridiculous, but I endorsed because I agree that you tend to get too passionate or entrenched about some topics. I don't have anything personal with you though, as we've always settled our own differences very politely :) — Deckiller 11:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
You have had valid opinions in the past regarding Wikipedia:Television article review process. I have now written an essay/implementation guide, and would like to know what you think. If you can suggest changes to it, please do so too.
Kind regards, G.A.S 13:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering, why did you separate the /doc from the page on Template:Tv.com_show? It seemed like a really small page to add, and not of any benefit. --Odie5533 14:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

In order to encourage more participation, and to help people find a specific area in which they are more able to help out, we have organized taskforces at WikiProject Japan. Please visit the Participants page and update the list with the taskforces in which you wish to participate. Links to all the taskforces are found at the top of the list of participants.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for helping out! ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I've edited the above list to use the ((Episode list))
format. The list is really a list of two related shows and this is causing duplicate IDs for the episode numbers and production codes. The wiki-generated IDs append a '_2' in this sort of case, but the template doesn't (nor would I expect it to be able to). So what should happen here? The list should probably be split in two, but I really don't feel like fixing all the links. The numbers in the cells could have some sort of prefix or suffix on them but I doubt other editors would like or maintain this. Thanks, Jack Merridew 12:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
It is currently under a deletion review. Therequiembellishere 17:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
I propose that if Sesshomaru does not participate in the discussion, his opinion on it shouldn't count. Clearly, Sesshomaru's involvement is limited to opposing it without discussing the actual issue (most of his comments after I became involved were threats and/or insults). - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:30, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Yeah... I know how that looks, and I was actually waiting for some warning, but for what it's worth that was an accident. I had a couple of windows open and was trying to figure out why I couldn't make the page Artificial Human #18 (instead of 18). Long story short, I was dicking around on a couple of pages and previewing, and screwed with the redirect and accidentally saved. *shrug* sorry.Onikage725 10:21, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind, but I've removed your RFC from the list of open RfCs, because I think it's resolved and it wouldn't make sense to flaunt that dead dispute. Please do restore it if you disagree. --Tony Sidaway 20:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
I really liked your thoughtful comments; thank you for injecting some needed logic into that DRV. — Deckiller 20:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your help - I think if we work together, we can get all the spread out, crufty, non-encyclopedic info boiled down into an exemplary article (for an anime character article, at least), even if we probably won't get much of the info that would make it GA or FA.KrytenKoro 04:54, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! Tim Vickers 18:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Link moved the Artificial Human 17 and Artificial Human 18 articles to Android 17 and Android 18 without even going to a discussion page. Then when me, Lord Sesshomaru, and Takuthehedgehog reverted the move, he reverted back. This happened four times. Then he kept arguing with everyone here. Currently, we already got the 18 article to Artificial Human again and now all that's left is 17. It's true that the popularity is important, Wikipedia isn't about that. It's about providing the readers with correct and accurate information and this includes naming. And it is contradictory when the article is called Android 17 and within it, it says that he's not an Android. That's confusing to the readers. Ryu-chan 18:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I've tried to revitalise discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Terrorism_and_counter-terrorism#Proposed_merger_with_WikiProject_Terrorism and would welcome any input you could offer, as I think it's in the best interests of both groups, and of the Encyclopaedia in general, to try and collaborate. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 12:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Not wanting to write any more than necessary about details in the Boiling down the issues section, since that would rather defeat the purpose, but what I'm tossing around in my mind for the draft version would probably contain some text roughly along the following lines.
"Articles covering in-universe elements of fiction which do not possess notability independent of their parent work(s) should focus only on information directly useful to understanding the out-of-universe articles they are linked to."
Probably not the best way of phrasing it, but the point would be that all the content in these articles should be of actual and specific use to some part of an existing out of universe article.
For instance, explaining a character's complicated power in the character list article is of specific utility, because then you don't have to rehash that information in each of the three season LOEs, and the main article, and the article about the movie that had him in it, etc.
Including "expanded universe"-type junk about how he likes dogs is not of specific utility though, and shouldn't be there, unless his interaction with dogs is a major part of the plot throughout the entire show. If it's just a plot point for one episode or whatever, then in the summary of the one episode where he helps a dog, you say "Joe Protagonist helps a dog he likes". --tjstrf talk 08:27, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Regarding this: Would you mind giving some sort of explanation for your revert on the talk page? I think at least parts of my changes are quite helpful. —AldeBaer 08:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Could you elaborate on your comments please. - Peregrine Fisher 01:59, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I saw you mention the idea of having some sort of central WAF/FICT related place several times. I'm not totally sure, but how about creating a WikiProject Writing about fiction? The central page could serve as that "glue" page, there could be smoe sort of central quality assessment, tie-ins or exchanges with related projects etc. Or would that be overkill? — [ aldebaer] 18:01, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I just had it fixed and you buggered it up! Tyler Warren 04:18, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Why'd you remove Syaoran's mother and sisters from the character box? It's true that they're not major characters and they only appear in the first movie, but they are his immediate family.PeRiDoTs13 05:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey Ned, I saw you already commented here. I noticed G.A.S. boldly implemented the changes he proposed, which I don't think has consensus (at least not with me). Instead of reverting, I commented there so that we can establish consensus on this. I would appreciate any further input you can provide. — [ aldebaer] 23:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I left a comment on the Talk:Hentai page in response to your request for references. As you may know, a number of Wikipedians and I are in the middle of a major revision of the manga entry (some material has been put up already; see the Talk pages for manga and on the manga/anime project page for lots more details).
We are planning to include a section in the revision about sexuality in manga, and if you would like to join us, you'd be most welcome. We're not up to that section yet, but that's just a matter of time.
If you're wondering about my credentials for saying any of this, please take a look at my user page. I'm a subject matter specialist in this area, and have published a number of scholarly papers about sexuality and manga, some cited on the Talk:Hentai comment I just mentioned.
And please do come and help us!

Hey Ned. I've been seriously remiss in not taking part in the forming of WP:FICT. It seems everyone from the Episode thing (You, Gwinva, TTN, Eusbeseus et al.) are there. It was just cited at me, and I don't really understand the wording for the notability criteria. Because of different wording, it seems that it is different than just the blanket notability. So firstly, would you explain the guideline (specifically, the notability aspect)? Also, tell me how the apply in this situation? I'm not asking for support, but like I said someone said this passes WP:FICT, and I dont understand it, and would like to know if he is right. I'll try to read the behemoth that is the archives and see what's been going on before jumping in. Thanks. — i said 03:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Ned Scott (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I certainly have not been trolling, and this certainly is not an acceptable block
Decline reason:
It seems that despite past personal conflicts with User:White Cat, you chose to nominate an article for deletion especially because he wanted it kept [3]. Your choice of edit summary betrays a certain glee in nominating the article [4]. You continued to follow White Cat to pages after doing so, admitted it and mocked likely concerns that would result [5]. You have been asked before disengage from White Cat - your conduct here seems to have been designed expressly to hound him and as such was not acceptable. WjBscribe 03:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
I've taken the disagreement between you and White Cat to requests for arbitration and you're named as a party. - Penwhale | Blast him / Follow his steps 04:13, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Over the last days, User:G.A.S and me have been working on a careful rewording of the intro, which we are now jointly proposing here. Since you've been recently active on WT:WAF, I think the proposal may be of interest to you and we both would appreciate your input. Also, ((BASEPAGENAME)), please forgive the timesaving templated wording. — aldebaer 20:22, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
If you guys really think the case is necessary, then ok, but given how infrequent I even cross paths with Cat I'm really confused as to how it even got proposed as an arbcom case. The only thing listed as an attempt to settle the dispute was an RfC on myself, and that did resolve at least part of the issue. I still don't believe I crossed the line in listing an article for deletion (but I did cross the line in being down right rude to him), and it's already apparent that the evaluation of any given admin regarding Cat and I, is enough to block either of us. Aside from a finding like "Ned and Cat should try to stay away from each other" I fail to see what starting up an entire arbcom case is going to achieve. As I said in my statement on the request page, I also think this will fuel the drama more than it would help. I'm open to mediation of some kind, and hearing how others suggest we handle such situations (although I already know what went wrong this last time). There are many other ways to resolve this dispute, lessen the drama, and take up a lot less of our time. -- Ned Scott 01:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
If you can stay away from each other on your own then we do not need to take the case. I'm willing to take an wait and watch approach for awhile longer if you both agree to put effort into staying away from each other. This may mean that you stay away from situations where Cat is involved since you getting involved is going to cause more problems than it fixes. FloNight♥♥♥ 13:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
[full discussion preserved/expanded at User talk:David Levy/Tony Sidaway]
I know this has nothing to do with me, but I just gotta butt in here and support Tony and Phil. How is the community supposed to decide anything if they're not allowed to discuss it in the first place. The close was undone with good reason, snowballs or not. You don't have to agree with the reason, but have a little respect for it. It is not the end of the world to revert a discussion closure, and that too is apart of how we work. Discussion is a fundamental right, in a way, of Wikipedians, and unless there is some tangible evidence of disruption, we shouldn't be closing discussions. -- Ned Scott 06:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Ned! Saw the moves you made to a couple of the List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people and was wondering a) the reasoning, and b) if *all* the sub-pages should be moved? In your edit summary, you mentioned WP:NC#Do not use an article name that suggests a hierarchy of articles, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't apply here, since there is a hierarchy - A, B, C-E, etc are all sub-pages of the list. Thoughts? I'll watch here, so no need to reply on my page. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

You told me that you would stay away from White Cat if I did not accept the RFArb. Based on your first comment there, you seem aware that your participation would cause a problem.
This particular comment is not okay as it does not assume good faith and focuses on the user instead of discussing the content.
"Don't play into Cat's game. He's nominating the lead characters in order to save the minor characters. There is no risk of deletion to save anything from. -- Ned Scott 09:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)"

Ned, just dropping you a line to say thanks for reverting my striking-through of that comment on the Warcraft AFD without fuss. I've seen other banned users' comments struck on several AFDs and had assumed that it was the done thing, when there must have been specific circumstances which I hadn't realized. If I'd known that wasn't the case I'd have left well alone. So cheers for sparing my blushes. Someone another 08:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

It's part of several recent disruptive actions, as a result of several editors upset with a a few DRV results, among other things. I'll find you some links if you'd like.
