Matter of style

I'm just wondering. Ukrainian and Russian titles have em dashes (—) within them. In Manual of Style of English Wikipedia it is said that em dashes mustn't have whitespaces around. However in Ukrainian and Russian languages we separate dashes from words with whitespaces on each side. What is superior: the uniformity of typographic styling through English Wikipedia, or preserving foreign language rules in citation? Actine (talk) 21:43, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

→In this case, I believe the Manual of Style way would be used. Since after all, this is the English Wikipedia. On the Russian or Ukrainian Wikipedia then you would use the other way, I guess. Also, please sign your comments by typing 4 "~"s so people can identify who posted. Thanks! --Yellow1996 (talk) 20:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, forgot about the tildas. Yes, I completely understand your point. Though I still draw a parallel between how foreign text is handled here (and I believe it was just someone running a wikifier, and the style has been corrected automatically) and in our wikis: we usually preserve all rules of foreign languages like capitalizing Each Word of Titles and uncommon typography. These are islands of foreign text, after all. Not that I would insist on changing anything, but… Just curious. Actine (talk) 21:43, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

→Yeah, we should probably keep it the way it is now. --Yellow1996 (talk) 02:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the rules of Wikipedia is written, that should be used "the names of the localized version". Official name in Russian: Дружба — это чудо, official name of the Ukrainian: Дружба — це диво. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NightShadow23 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If so, then you can change it if you want to(assuming you are autoconfirmed..) --Yellow1996 (talk) 19:03, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hasbro's Copyright Stance

Seeing how Hasbro has sent cease and desist orders to several fan projects, such as Fighting is Magic and the Mentally Advanced parody series, can it be put down that their tolerance for this is decreasing? 207.216.213.8 (talk) 03:41, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll rewrite it , at least make it historical in approach. --MASEM (t) 07:08, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edits have already been made to My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic. dogman15 (talk) 10:45, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is also worth noting that, though the creators and Hasbro were quite supportive of their fanbase initially, recent actions would seem to indicate that they have lost much of that respect. In sharp contrast to the first two seasons, Season 3 was not only shorter, but the finale may very well have been the single worst episode of the season ever written. The overall tone of this final episode felt rushed, with little to no exposition or plot development, and essentially felt lime a much more traditionally-oriented 'little girl princess show', which as any fan of the series will tell you, is NOT what Gen 4 is supposed to be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.90.249.233 (talk) 00:58, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Errr, yeah, we're going to need sources to support that position. --MASEM (t) 01:06, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are other places on the Web where you can post personal reviews of TV episodes; Wikipedia isn't the place for that. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 00:09, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Equestria Girls

The reference to Equestria Girls may be invalid. I went to the web site for the magazine cited, but could find no articles that referenced Equestria Girls as an actual property in the works. I recommend this section be deleted or a warning put in place that it's only speculation until a verifiable source can be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adrian Forte (talk • contribs) 23:15, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's in their physical magazine. It's a legit reference. --MASEM (t) 23:19, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Broken links in Episodes - Series overview

The links to the seasons in the table in "Episodes - Series overview" are internal links that don't lead to a section. The table is somehow transcluded from the "List of ..." article, where the internal links do work. I don't know this mechanism, so I can't fix it. Can someone else take a look? Digital Brains (talk) 11:42, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done They all work now. Thank you for pointing that out! :) --Yellow1996 (talk) 17:46, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple composers

Though William Anderson is the established composer on the series, would it be worthwhile to add Daniel Ingram and Steffan Andrews to the infobox as Composers because they scored an entire episode (season 3 finale) which William was not involved in? Technically it would be correct. LapinJ (talk) 20:39, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
