Copy and paste moves

Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here. However, please do not copy and paste the contents of articles to move them to new titles, as this destroys the edit history. If you cannot move a page because another page exists at that title, use the process at Wikipedia:Requested moves. For more on moving pages, please see Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page. Thanks.--SB | T 00:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's possible, but only administrators have the ability to delete pages.--SB | T 02:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well I followed the page delete procedure so I guess we'll have to wait and see. --Marhawkman 03:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Debate in the WikiProject Dragon Quest

Hello, since you're a member of the project, I thought I'd inform you of a debate currently taking place over there. It is about whether we should use the name Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest or Dragon Quest Heroes for the slime spin-off series of the franchise. There are currently not enough people involved to actually reach a clear consensus, so you are invited to read the discussion here and here and give your opinion on the question. Thank you!

Fair use rationale for Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DaysPast Wuya.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.

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 insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jay32183 01:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:LiannaOmegaMen.jpg

I have tagged Image:LiannaOmegaMen.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. Videmus Omnia 22:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:List of Characters in Ben 10

Hello, Marhawkman. Thank you for asking me politely; I was sorta' scared that I'd start recieving the same sort of flames that Durin took on a daily basis.

Anyways, there has been something of a movement against the overuse of nonfree images recently on Wikipedia, the results of which can be seen mostly in list articles such as List of Konoha ninja. The reasoning behind this is that approximately 20% of Wikipedia's articles had at least one non-free image, which contradicts Wikipedia's purpose as a free encyclopedia.

Please see User:Durin/Fair use overuse explanation for more details. Durin has thought his position through and provided a lengthy explanation to justify these removals. Again, I'm not nearly as strict about this as Durin was, so don't worry about every image being wiped out; I (along with others) am just trying to carry out his cause, as he won't be around to carry it out himself anymore. Please understand that this is an attempt to enforce Wikipedia's underregulated Fair Use policy and not just removal for the sake of it.

If you still have questions, feel free to contact me again either on my user page or at the centralized discussion about Ben 10's images. Regards, You Can 't Review Me!!! 03:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

All images need a fair use rationale besides the template. See WP:FU. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 23:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above is why they fail. Using, for example, {{Non-free television screenshot}} alone does not constitute a fair use rationale. You must accompany the image with an explanation about why it qualifies as fair use. A good example is at Image:Omi.jpg. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to leave another note on my talkpage. Thanks. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 23:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they do require the explanation to be in that form. {{Di-no fair use rationale}} and WP:FURG (sorry, pointed you to the wrong place) both say that the boilerplate template on its own does not constitute a fair use rationale. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 23:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I saw that there was a template added to the top. Never mind, that does count as a rationale. I thought you were talking about {{Non-free television screenshot}}, which by itself does not count as a rationale. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 23:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

fictional chemicals

Looked combined, but in fact was done separately. Way it works, if you want the comments considered, you have to repeat them, at least in summary.

Ben 10 images

Please see Talk:Ben 10#images for my best explanation. Personally, I had already removed as much as I thought was necessary beforehand. Now that Betacommand got to the images, though, I suppose it's best to go along with it. Pokemon creature and Naruto-related articles, two topics that I regularly edit, have been having this same problem for a while now. You Can 't See Me! 02:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I would encourage you to continue the discussion on Ben 10's talk page; that way, you'll be able to attract more replies from a variety of users. The simple answer is that the policy is supported so that Wikipedia doesn't get sued. Note that the English Wikipedia is one of the extremely few Wikipedias that actually allow nonfree images. See the Japanese Wikipedia, the Spanish Wikipedia, and so forth. You Can 't See Me! 04:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on No. 18. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: mediation needed

I'm not entirely sure what to do. A very long debate has sprung up here Talk:Dragon_Ball_Z, and so far all attempts to resolve matters have utterly failed.

A short synopsis is that one user has taken it upon himself to remove all information that he considers to be "unsourced". However, there is no reason behind it. There was no discussion about this being necessary, no one even talked about it before he started wiping out large sections of multiple articles. He just posted a message one day stating that if people didn't add sources he'd delete everything without a reference. Even though he has stated that to NOT be his intent, removing almost all information without a ref tag is the net result of his actions.

He regulary describes his actions as enforcing wikipedia policy. But he seems to think that guidelines and essays are trumped by policy and doesn't understand that they exist to explain how to implement policy. He has also refused to listen to anyone who disagrees, and regulary treats other editors with disdain. And refuses to let other editors change things back without adding a specific reference for every tiny change

What is the best thing to do here?--Marhawkman 11:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Mediation Committee and requests for mediation is the second-last step in the dispute resolution chain on Wikipedia. Wikipedia:Resolving disputes lists the various types of dispute resolution available. They include:-

Discussion on the article talk page, and attempt negotiation
Solicit third party input:-
Mediation Cabal (informal mediation)

It is generally expected that at least one of the third party input options has been attempted, and informal mediation has been tried, before a request for mediation will be accepted. Discussion on the talk page, whilst required for any form of dispute resolution to be considered, does not fufill the requirement of 'prior dispute resolution'.

In this dispute, I could see an RfC which recieved very little feedback, and a lot of discussion. At this stage, please try and resolve your dispute using informal mediation, from the Mediation Cabal.

Amalgam characters

The amalgam characters have been removed from most pages per a discussion over at WP:COMICS. most are unverifiable fan creations, jokes and hoaxes, and of the few that are real, most really aren't notable. Those who 'headlined' a title may be notable, otherwise, no. It's cruft to try to include them all, and when you see some of the faked stuff, it's impossible to sort it out. ThuranX (talk) 12:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to hit a nutshell on verification as per that discussion (spotted the thread on Doc's page and followed the pieces...) it has to be hard information, either a panel showing the split/merge or a citeable ref from a writer, penciller or editor that "DC (a) + Marvel (b) = Amalgam (c)". Everything else falls into the "I as a Wiki-editor, assume that the pictured Amalgam derives from..." which boils down to WP:OR... - J Greb (talk) 23:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see.... But would something like.. say a version of Bruce Banner transforming into Solomon Grundy count as well? I don't think that interpretation is needed for some of them. Especially the really obvious ones.--Marhawkman (talk) 11:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Obvious" is a relative term. Especially when dealing with comics. And even then, it's only "obvious" to someone reading the books. The articles here should be assuming low or no prior knowledge on the part of the user. If you have to build up your logic for the identifications, without a cited source, you are presenting your interpretation. And that includes describing a guy called Bruce Banner, who looks more like an aviator than a scientist, and transforms into a hulking white brute. - J Greb (talk) 11:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Banner rarely "looks" like a scientist.... But that's beside the point. Does DC/Marvel have a page on one of their websites about this?--Marhawkman (talk) 11:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Planet X (Transformers)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Planet X (Transformers), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Re: Minazuki

I do not know Japanese, so can't tell you which version is correct. I imagine either some IP added "Purify the Flesh" after reading/watching some outfit's translation, or someone who does know Japanese made the change. I wouldn't worry about it; nobody seems to have thought it was wrong enough to remove it in the three months since you brought it up. Besides, every part of the old name-explanation after "The term has no coherent translation" could qualify as original research. ~Snapper T o 05:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Giving a translation for each kanji would be fine, but things like "is an obscure character meaning the sound or appearance of birds feeding", "is actually no longer recognized by Japan's Ministry of Education", "the name is a homonym made-up by the author" would need individual sources. ~Snapper T o 05:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Provided it's properly cited, i guess it's OK. Ged UK (talk) 18:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you use the title in the cite then that should be OK. Can't guarantee another editor will agree though. Use the citeepisode template. See Wikipedia:Template_messages/Sources_of_articles might help. Sorry if you already know that! Ged UK (talk) 10:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zombies

The way Dan Didio's been culling the DCU left, right, and centre... every Teen Titan, Earth-Two "survivor", JLI member, New God and beloved Silver Age comedy character is in fact, a Zombie candidate. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing Barry Allen, Kal-L, Terra, etc. as zombies.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 00:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it wasn't a definitive statement by Eon. He doesn't explictly say Ben can't use the form as much as he says that it's his power alone. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 01:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yoruichi

Explanation. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 14:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yoruichi was the Head of the Special Forces - the Execution Brigade (ENG dub) I think is also a name for it. As of what we know right now, she was not a Captain of the 13 Court Guard Squads. Just because Soifon became her successor of the Special Forces, and currently occupies the 2nd Division Captaincy, does not mean that Yoruichi also occupied the latter title. If you refer back to Episode 56 and more importantly Episode 57 of the anime (Chapter 159 in the manga), it goes indepth about the history between Soifon and Yoruichi. Some of the key points to look for: Yoruichi is never depicted wearing a Captain's haori or in possession of any insignia to represent a Court Guard Squad (but she does wear that classy orange jacket or hers); She is never seen with a lieutenant; Selected members from within the Special Forces are assigned the task of being her personal bodyguard- Captains don't receive that type of treatment even if they're from high-ranking familes, and as well this ties in with the absence of a lieutenant; Her quarters aren't even located in a Squad Division building but rather the Special Forces facility itself; No one ever addresses her as Captain, not even Soifon who constantly insisted on calling her Lady Yoruichi. It should be also noted that she disappeared soon after thus ruling out the possibility she could have been promoted or taken on the position of a Captain. All in all, the possibility of her occupying the 2nd Division 1st Seat is slim to none given the evidence. It's possible that Kubo may reveal a spoiler about her being a Captain once or something, if he ever decides to make that happen...but now, there's nothing even remotely hinting towards possible Captainship. That's why Yoruichi can't be listed as a former Captain for 2nd Division: lack of evidence and it's only speculation based off the status of another character.

The Special Forces are a completely separate organization from the 13 Court Guard Squads. Fox816 (talk) 23:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: With the release of Chapter 317, Kubo has revealed that Yoruichi is indeed the Captain of 2nd Division. That one rather surprised me given everything against the fact. Anyways, with this new information, Yoruichi can now be (i.e. already has been) regarded as the former Captain of 2nd Division. Fox816 (talk) 03:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WPGR

Since I did a lot of removing the last days I am not sure to which one you are referring to, but let me give the general idea. An editor, now banned, added tenths of articles with short relation to Greece in the project (along with 2 other projects). WPGR is dealing with articles that have direct relation to Greece and not indirect. For example "Xena" is not even part of the Greek mythology! Some films using characters called "Hercules" etc but are not really related to the Greek history or mythology can be handled better from other projects, but not from WPGR. The same stands for the fictional Marvel/DC characters with the Greek god names. The project is not interesting in these articles. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 10:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just take a look in User_talk:Dimadick#About your Wikiproject tagging again. Many editors disagreed with this mass tagging. I am not working on the Greek Mythology project so I am not sure, but since I am no the WPGR for some time, I am quite definite that these articles are outside of the scope of the project. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Martian Manhunter vs Superman STRENGTH

While Jon'z lacked the brute physical strength of the Kryptonian, as per several instance (which I would rather not track down) he has more powers overall. Furthermore, when he becomes Fernus his strength is superior to that of Superman.
