I hope you read a question! Melodic Horror

Sorry, I'm not really interested in the Papa Roach article, I merely reverted the trolling of a banned user once. You'll have to discuss the matter with others. By the way, please sign with four tildes (~~~~) instead of three, then I can see the time at which you posted your message. Melsaran 13:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Private Lessons (1981 film)

I have to ask what was incorrect about my rv on 5 June that warranted reversion? Did you want the bit about the Fresh Prince in there, or was I mistaken in my methods? Enlighten me. Varaaki 05:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dictionary definitions

Please do not add the {{wi}} template and redirects for all manner of dictionary words. {{wi}} is to discourage the creation of illegitimate articles. Otherwise, they clutter the main namespace and discourage the creation of legitimate articles. There is already a message pointing readers to the wiktionary page for terms without articles. The {{wi}} templates all eventually have to be deleted. The productive solution upon finding a link to a dictionary word is to unlink the incoming link. —Centrx→talk • 01:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I didn't know that. Thanks, I'll use them more sparingly from now on. Melsaran 13:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Man O War, Man O' War reasons

These are similar enough to be the cause of spelling confusion, and the working title (ie the title used during the development of the character of Tentacruel NOT the name used in the series) is low notability. Hence the redirect of Man O War to Man O' war over a reference to Tentacruel. I note that the only link to Man O War is a reference to the race horse. GraemeLeggett 09:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to disagree. Indeed, the name is not really notable, but a hatnote should suffice. It is, after all, the only thing in the list that's not written with an apostrophe. This is the usual construction for these issues (compare Transport for London, it has a hatnote referring to "Transport in London" and the article is about the company, rather than a redirect to some disambig page).

Sugarcult

Hey, just thought that I'd drop you a note to say thanks for sorting out the discography! I thought that it might've been an invalid use of the album covers and had been meaning to look into it further. Thanks for taking care of it! Apollosfire 16:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I was surprised to see that these covers need to be removed (someone did it at Westlife discography), although it makes sense when you think of it. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 16:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My user page

Your edits to my user page were unwelcome and unwarranted. Desist. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 21:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And you are being intentionally disruptive. Period. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 21:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You are not qualified to speak of my intentions; your allegation is false and unacceptable. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 18:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you are accusing other editors of violating policies that you are most likely violating yourself. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 18:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please point out where you think I've "most likely" made a false allegation about, or a personal attack against, you. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 19:05, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This time, it wasn't a "personal" attack, but a provocative comment and an implicit attack to the persons who "censored" your userpage. There we go again, stop WikiLawyering and/or taking my words literally. I recommend that you try to cooperate with other editors, instead of provoking them and actively looking for disputes and arguments. Tell me, what is the entire point of the note on your user page? Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 19:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"This time, it wasn't a "personal" attack" so you claim that I was "accusing other editors of violating policies that you are most likely violating yourself" was false. It's not "wikilawyering to point out such falsehoods. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 19:20, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is an example of "accusing other editors of violating policies that you are most likely violating yourself". You are constantly busy with attacking and provoking other editors, and looking for arguments and disputes. This is also an example of WikiLawyering and/or taking my words literally just to annoy, because you say you aren't "accusing other editors of violating policies that you are most likely violating yourself", as this time it was not a "personal attack" but rather a "general attack"/"provocative comment". That is just as bad. Stop it. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 19:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I refer you to my previous comment on this page. If my taking your words literally annoys you, perhaps you should make it explicitly clear when you don't mean what you say. And please stop making false allegations.Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 19:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am not going to continue this pointless discussion. I have one last tip for you: try to avoid arguments, instead of looking for them. EOD. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 19:34, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnotes

You seem to be involved with hatnotes. Do you feel one is acceptable at Thor (Marvel Comics), Thor (Comico Comics), Thor (comics), and Count Dracula? There are probably others, but let's decide whether they're needed for these pages. Join the discussion at ThuranX and see if you can convince this person on all the circumstances when dabs are actually necessary. I've tried and failed. Thanks. Lord Sesshomaru

That's really easy, in fact. Just point him at WP:NAMB. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 03:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Seems he didn't take it well, see this. Can you assist me in these edits using the WP:NAMB consensus as the reason? Lord Sesshomaru
I was already busy with that. :-) I cannot really understand why this editor is so stubborn, the guideline is pretty clear in this case. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 04:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I saw, there are so many others out there, some of which I forgot but I'll let you know if I find a myriad of them again. I'll help you in reverting to prove our case. :} Lord Sesshomaru
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out as well. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 04:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) - A few I just recalled were Paifu and Belzi. I placed disambiguations there thinking they were necessary but I'll need your help on that. Sakura Haruno's dab may need fixing as well. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru

Did some tweaks. The hatnote at Belzi is actually very handy, usually {{distinguish}} is used for these kinds of issues, but in this case it is a redirect, so {{redirect}} is more appropriate. I placed some "anchors" in the Wandaba Style article so that redirects can be made for every individual character, and fixed the hatnote at Sakura Haruno accordingly. Did the same with Paifu. How do you like it? Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 04:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Great. Though the Sakura Haruno for Wandaba Style doesn't seem to target properly. Does it matter if it is a large "#REDIRECT" or small "#redirect" link? Lord Sesshomaru
No, it's because you changed it to a redirect to Wandaba Style#Sakura Harano. Because I saw the names were in Japanese and English (Japanese places the family name first), I just made anchors for the first name and the last name. "Sakura" works, "Haruno" works, but "Sakura Haruno" or "Haruno Sakura" doesn't, because I didn't think it was necessary (although you can create those anchors if you want). Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 12:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that. I was wondering why you used "Sakura" only, it didn't work the first few times I clicked it, hence, that was my entire reason for changing it. I just tested the redirect of yours and it worked okay now. And you may want to look at this, it isn't the first time I've dealt with this user so maybe you could persuade him with something more than WP:NAMB and then remove that disambiguation? Lord Sesshomaru
Doesn't matter, fixed it. :-) and I'll take a look at that page. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 15:48, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
