Linkrot
Hey I noticed you've been going through dead links and trying to archive them. That kind of work is very underappreciated and of great value on Wikipedia. The process can be quite tedious since you have to check each link individually and hope that the Wayback machine caught it and a new domain owner didn't lock out the archives. (It also doesn't help that Japanese sites are atrocious at maintaining links) Keep it up! Opencooper (talk) 01:08, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Opencooper: Thanks! =) Yeah it is quite tedious but it opens up new anime/manga for me to browse upon while doing a helpful thing. I am also tagging sources which do not appear on Wayback, these will most likely have to be replaced by other sources. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:11, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah I noticed your comments. And ideally alternate sources will be able to be found for those for verifiability purposes. Opencooper (talk) 01:21, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- Most of the dead links I am finding that I have noticed repeats of include TokyoPop, Amazon, Oricon, and eBOOK Japan. For TokyoPop, and Amazon hopefully ANN has release dates in their news section that would cover those. As for Oricon I know there is a way to fix the links I just don't remember how to. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:29, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- For release dates, other resellers might also be usable in lieu of the original retailers. And I remember reading someone explaining how to find titles on Oricon on the WP:A&M talk page so it might be worth searching the talk page archives. Regardless, do keep in mind that dead links are permissible as sources so don't stress it too much since I doubt release dates are controversial. Opencooper (talk) 02:01, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
AnimeCons.com and New England Anime Society
FYI: Although I was one of the founding members of the New England Anime Society and am the admin for AnimeCons.com, I do not currently hold any positions on the NEAS. I am indeed on staff with Anime Boston, but only as Game Shows Manager and not in any sort of "executive" or "director" role. As far as AnimeCons.com being a "primary source", this page says, "A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." In stating the stats about Anime Boston, it's pretty easy for any person to verify since Anime Boston posts the same attendance numbers on social media every year. I put them on AnimeCons.com to make them much easier for people to find ...and there are really no other sources out there except Anime Boston itself and AnimeCons.com. It's not like someone is out there doing any sort of third-party auditing for attendance at anime cons. It's quite likely that any other article you'd find attendance numbers in would have pulled them from AnimeCons.com anyway. ...so the tag that "This article relies too much on references to primary sources." on the Anime Boston article is pretty unnecessary. It's not like anyone is saying the facts presented are not accurate. PatrickD (talk) 04:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- @PDelahanty: I have no problems with Animecons.com as a source, and would not encourage anyone to remove it from the article. The problem is that in general the article needs more third party sources. Okay per your discussion here I have removed my hidden comment there must be something though that was picked up by the globe or even by the Metro. On a different note I have been going to Anime Boston since 2007, and want to thank you for what you do. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Syrian Civil War
Do you have special powers bestowed, giving you special rights to close discussion sections, like you did here on Talk:Syrian Civil War yesterday? If people want to have a discussion somewhere, why forbid them to do so? If you suggest that the topic has been discussed before, you at least could have the politeness and helpfulness to tell us where and when that took place. --Corriebertus (talk) 14:11, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Uncivil?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
- Hello. In this edit, 6Jan2016, on my page, you accused me of being uncivil. Could you please tell me what you consider to have been uncivil of me, and why you judge that to have been uncivil? I’m not aware of having been uncivil recently on pages where I‘ve met you. --Corriebertus (talk) 14:50, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Corriebertus: I gave an answer over at WP:AN. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:50, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Accusing someone of incivility is the gravest of accusations in Wikipedia. On 6January2016,14:31, you accused me of having been uncivil, without specifying that accusation. So, I asked you here, to corroborate that accusation. For an answer, you said: ‘see my answer over at WP:AN’, which you posted 16Jan2016,21:48.
That answer reads: “I agreed with Legacypac that this edit was not civil: [30]”, pointing at my edit of 6Jan,14:23 at Talk SCW. But at the time of your accusing me (6Jan,14:31), Legacypac had not yet commented on my edit of 6Jan,14:23.
So: your answer(16Jan), that you just agreed(6Jan,14:31) with an (not-existing) opinion of Legacypac is nonsense, a lie.
So, I have to conclude, that you refuse to give any corroboration of your accusing me(6Jan2016,14:31) of having been uncivil. That refusal to corroborate that severe accusation I consider rude and uncivil of you. Furthermore, page Wikipedia:Civility, section 3, identifies lying, harassment, and ill-considered accusations of impropriety as forms of incivility, and you seem to have perpetrated at least one of them at 6Jan2016,14:31. I warn and advice you, to stop those forms of uncivil etc. behaviour. If I see you doing things like that again, on me or on anyone, I’ll have to take it up at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. --Corriebertus (talk) 14:18, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Corriebertus: Section 3 #1 refers to rudeness, and belittling a fellow editor. Can we just say we were both in the wrong and put this behind us? At this point I don't really care (as you can see I have let the discussion at Syrian Civil War be), I have other areas on Wikipedia I would like to focus my time on. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:31, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
I just filed a complaint on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Incivility of Knowledgekid87. --Corriebertus (talk) 10:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
It takes a great deal of maturity and courage to do as you did here. I sincerely applaud you!
I came across this only because I have User talk:SPUI watchlisted. SPUI's long gone, and I didn't really know him. I don't remember why I ever watchlisted his talk page in the first place. I think he was controversial in his time. That said, he did do a considerable amount of work for the project. Thus, my thought when I saw the notice of the RfD was that there must have been a reason why SPUI would have created such a redirect. That set me to clue finding. I did not see an immediate reason why such a title should be connected to Rejected. This should be corrected in the target article. This is obviously how you, Largoplazo and Lenticel all concluded it was a hoax/vandalism. Searching the web for this title, associated with Rejected, is what lead me to find the crucial information.
Just a mild suggestion; when placing something for deletion (whatever it is), have a look to see when it was created. I tend to do this with things that seem suspect to me. My thought is that if it has been around for years (as it has in this case; 2005), there's probably something to it that needs more looking into.
The Rejected shorts are to me a very base form of art. I really don't see any redeeming qualities to them. Perhaps it's a failing of mine that I can't see through to why these shorts have gained fame. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:43, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Hammersoft: Thanks, I had actually heard of the "My spoon is too big" clip via youtube I will do more digging next time. As for the fame yeah I tend to agree the films were okay but nothing that said Bill Plympton to me. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:52, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

What is Considered an Anime Convention?
Regarding this template edit, what counts as an anime convention? If a convention has an element of video gaming, even if it is Japanese video gaming, does this disqualify it as an anime convention? Where does manga make things fall in this spectrum? What about other non-anime content?
All things considered, perhaps Anime Banzai shouldn't be listed in this template as it has large sections of its convention dedicated to card gaming and video gaming. Anime Expo should be removed as it has "table top gaming, competitions, an arcade, and concerts." So too should Nan Desu Kan which features a large arcade/console gaming area, furry panels, and a dedicated tabletop gaming area.
Nz17 (talk) 04:04, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Nz17: It depends on what the convention is labeling itself as. Most anime conventions have gaming, roleplaying, and such but are not advertised as a Gaming convention. @TheFarix: is the person to ask as well as he might have additional info/advice to offer. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Knowledgekid87: Thanks. I was just confused about the classification. I saw this over at Category:Multigenre conventions:
- "Note to editors: Please use this category for conventions that focus on three or more genres. Conventions with just two genres, e.g. science fiction and fantasy, should instead be placed in the categories for both the relevant genres."
- No problem. =) - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:42, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

I see you've decided to switch the source from Green Papers to the New York Time. Waiting until the discussion was over would've been nice, but at least make sure to leave a source for every contest. Right now, the source you've given for Democrats Abroad and Northern Marianas link to "American Samoa", and that source doesn't provide the popular vote. Abjiklɐm (tɐlk) 07:43, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Abjiklam: In the event of a switchback I would be more than happy to take responsibility, and switch the numbers/sources back to the way they were. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:13, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Somewhat related, some of the edits (including yours) have been mentioned on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/4chktv/wikipedia_page_on_democratic_primary_2016_removed/ Just a heads up in case some of your changes are undone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaneBGoode (talk • contribs) 22:13, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Knowledgekid87: Thanks for the change from "American Samoa" to "Non-state results", but the problem remains that no source is given for the popular vote. Abjiklɐm (tɐlk) 23:47, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure who to thank, but I saw your post on the section so I would like to thank you for having settled on a source with other users.

i do know that but he is not understanding. i did the right thing and there was no wrong. IF I EDITED wrong i would say sorry but there is nothing with it. if you are so understanding pls tell him for me as i PERSONALLY FEEL HE LIKES TO ANNOY me.

- @AonoTsukune95: Before making this kind of an edit, [1] please first have a discussion on the editor's talk-page. If you do not receive any communication (Wait 24 hours for a reply as time zones vary) then try bringing it up at WP:ANI. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:40, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
well he just undo all i edited yesterday, so you tell me what is wrong?
as i said i do not do trash edit. everything i do i do my best. i correct sentece my own sentence/grammar. provide info without spoiling as much as possible. IF I DID do wrong i get it...the thing that is funny is that nothing is wrong. so i feel he just likes to annoy me. I CAN 100% ENSURE YOU that I WILL AND NEVER DO TRASH EDIT like many other editors. i have my own standards.
THIS CAN GO ON FOREVER IF he do not be more understanding and he call himself a senior editor/wiki editor. cannot even recognise good edits and shit edits AonoTsukune95 (talk) 14:44, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
forgot to mention this btw
and you said keep cool? i do try to be calm but when he keep reundo what i do it piss me off. funny thing like i said all edits i make is off good quality. i never make unecessary edits. EVERYTHING I DO is TO MAKE BETTER READING.
so it kind of annoys me if he wants to go on that way. i will try to cool it but no promises if he intends to keep reundo my good edits and when shit edits happen he does not reundo it.
JUST WOW....WOW.....WOW..... AonoTsukune95 (talk) 14:51, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
are you ok?
huh?? that info was provided by me. i can remove it. what gives you the right to do it when it was done by me?? i am undoing it for the last time. please understand that it was provided by me and i wish to retract it AonoTsukune95 (talk) 07:50, 28 April 2016 (UTC) |}
Death of Prince AFD
The Death of Prince AFD was improperly closed. For one thing, non-administrative closures are to be done only in non-controversial AFD's. This is far from it. The AFD was also improper because the Reactions of the Death of Prince was nearly simultaneous with the Death of Prince AFD. Since the Reactions of the Death of Prince was a redirect to Death of Prince, Death of Prince cannot be deleted or redirected. If that were the intent, then the Reactions to the Death of Prince, which was closed first, would be a direct redirect to Prince (musician). Furthermore, a DRV is ok if there is a significant change. I suspect there will be when Prince is declared to have an overdose in a few weeks. With all that, DRV would definitely be appropriate and a win for the article.
I fully realize that many people don't like that article. But that is displeasure at Wikipedia and Prince should not be punished for that. Those people should have a community wide discussion about Wikipedia. If they only want stodgy articles like that found in a book version of an encyclopedia, I would happily live with it.
In the interim, I am starting a bold test to see how much can be merged. I suspect Softlavender and his friends will remove it, being the contentious and aggressive bullies they are. I also plan to start a section on the talk page of Prince (musician) about possible new ideas and news articles about Prince's death. That way, we will have research materials in one place. That is a square wheeled way to edit and is like editing with the secret police standing behind you (inhibits boldness and reduces participation) but that will have to do.

Castle Point Anime Convention
Want to get your opinion on some sources before I consider taking this to AFD, sadly even with the years since its deletion and recreation I don't think Castle Point Anime Convention has enough sources. This is what I could find:
NJ.com
- Thousands flock, in costume
- Stevens readies for Castle Point
- Artists' alley at Castle Point Anime Convention
- Castle Point Anime Convention in Hoboken continues
- Hoboken's Castle Point Anime Convention begins
The Stute (Castle Point Colleges Newspaper)
The problems I'm coming up with, is while the NJ.com articles are ok, and there are several, they are older. I don't think the college newspaper would survive an AFD debate. I've searched deep and couldn't find any other sources that would meet project standards at this point. Esw01407 (talk) 18:11, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Esw01407: per WP:NTEMP it doesn't matter how old the sources are, it would be nice though to get some more widespread coverage though. Yes AfD is an option, but there are convention articles that are in far worse shape so I would start with those. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:53, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

U.S. House elections, 2016
I've removed the map but have also posted in the discussions page. (S)he can restore it when deemed appropriate, but I feel it sets a dangerous precedent to keep it up currently when none of those races have actually been decided.

Reverts on Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016
Hello Knowledgekid87, I'd hate to fall into an edit war with you because I appreciate your contributions to the topics where we have randomly been in touch. However I must point out that you just violated the 1-revert-per-day rule which is in place at Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016, so I would kindly ask you to self-revert your latest edits to this version and let other editors apply any changes they deem appropriate. As you rightly pointed out, the presumptive nominee debate will be settled in a few hours anyway but I believe we shouldn't have thrown out our painstakingly agreed consensus on sources just for the joy of being a few hours early; there has been all day a lot of debating among media professionals and Democrats over the AP announcement which may look designed to influence the election -- amazingly, people find convincing arguments for saying it would be positive or negative for either candidate! My opinion is that the announcement was simply sent out to boost media audience, with no conspiracy to help either side. For my part I have reverted you once and won't touch the page further tonight. Kind regards, — JFG talk 23:53, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

- @Tpbradbury: Let me ask this, if Utah really is safe then why has no prediction source other than fivethirtyeight have it as such? We cant give undue weight to one prediction source. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:14, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- All the sources on Statewide_opinion_polling_for_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2016#Utah which you've edited, has Utah as safe, Real Clear Politics, 270 to Win, [2]. The NY Times has Utah as the 4th safest republican state: [3], why do you say no source other than 538? Tom B (talk) 00:43, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- I am talking predictions not polls, we have The Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, Stuart Rothenberg, and RealClearPolitics. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:47, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- And which of those has Utah as a swing state? Tom B (talk) 02:27, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- All four of them, none are predicting it as "Safe", right now Indiana has the same ratings if you look at the table. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:28, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- No, none of the 4 are, I asked which are predicting it as swing state. I agree, Indiana isn't a swing state either, we should remove both, Tom B (talk) 02:38, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think any source is coming out to say "these are the swing states" I cant find it over at 538 other than maps and analysis which is also used over at the other prediction sources. So in short can you tell me where there is a source that in writing says "Yes these are the states"? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:45, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- I've already said The NY Times has Utah as the 4th safest republican state: [4]. that is not a poll that is a prediction. You've put in the article that Utah is a swing state. As I asked at the top of this section, please may you tell me/the reader, where there is a source in writing for that? I think we're going to have take this to the article talkpage if you're going to continue to insist that Utah, Indiana are swing states. They are not. Tom B (talk) 03:01, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- I think you are confused, NYT is predicting that Utah is the 4th safest state. This is a prediction, it is not saying "Utah is not a battleground/swing state". As I have pointed above though 4 other sources have also made their own predictions. All three (which we use btw) are pointing towards "Likely Republican" which is not "Safe Republican". - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:06, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- No, I'm not confused, Utah is not a key battleground state in this election. All 3 are pointing towards "Likely" not "Safe", no person has been arguing with you about what states are completely safe or not. The section is about the 10 or so key battleground states not for the 38 states that are "unsafe". Tom B (talk) 03:23, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- One innovative method might be to use the top 10 or so of the 'chance of tipping the election' list on 538 [5]? Tom B (talk) 03:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

My apology
I'm sorry of engaging an edit war, but I just want to leave my editing on those articles just the way they are. I never want to cause trouble, I want to prevent people from being misleading and that's why I changed them. I hope you understand the situation I have been through. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony Duran (talk • contribs) 16:04, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Editing a character article
Look, I don't care if I get blocked every single day. All I wanted to is let the readers know the true facts about this character, I know how a romantic comedy functions, I just want you guys to know that Tsukune and Moka are just friends and nothing else, I've watched the anime and read the manga. Nothing in the world is going to change between the relationship between two characters. Since it is an harem anime, the main male protagonist has more than one love interest and Moka is just one of those main female characters in the show despite being the title character. I could have a chat with the original manga artist, Akihisa Ikeda so I can settle this conversation once and for all. You guys can reach contact with him from Nichinan, Miyazaki, Japan from where I live the address, 3201 W 10th Avenue Pl Broomfield, CO 80020.
If you want this conflict to stop, just leave my editing alone or I'll continue to do this, until you stop. So go ahead, falsely accuse me of harassing some of your colleagues, block me for twenty-four hours, but I'll beat it and we'll start the whole thing all over again.
You have been warned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony Duran (talk • contribs) 17:18, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

WP:VPP discussion about terrorism
There is a VPP discussion about distinguishing between terrorist attacks and non-terrorist attacks, if you would like to participate. Parsley Man (talk) 23:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- I personally think we should not just narrowly define terrorism but seek to stamp out terrorism in ALL its forms. This is necessary to preserve Western culture. For example Japanese Yakuza organizations, like Shueisha, have been making children violent through hentai for DECADES without retribution! - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 11:50, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know the history behind the inconsistency you found: a few months ago (I think it may have been in June) Yen pushed back the release dates for a bunch of volumes by about a week (I know because I had to go around and update a bunch of articles). However, ANN's encyclopedia didn't get updated with the new dates. This happens fairly often, actually - it's not unusual to see a wrong release date in ANN's weekly schedule. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 19:24, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

- I will try although I don't think it will do much good. Sadly WP:ANI may be the only way to go forward with this as this user has already rubbed more than one editor the wrong way. I see no indication that they are listening to anyone. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:01, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm rather annoyed that I let myself get worked up about this but it's getting beyond silly. Seeing as he's now repeating his bizarre reasonings on nihonjoe's talk page it's probably best if we both just leave them to it. I'm going to do my best not to get involved any more as it's starting to look bad on me and I wouldn't want you to get worn down by it as well.He clearly won't listen to us anyway..

Opinion Polling for presidential election
You apparentely haven't read this either WP:BRD. My first edit should have stayed. You are the one who started the disruptive editing, by changing it. BRD is not a valid excuse for reverting good-faith efforts to improve a page simply because you don't like the changes. Don't invoke BRD as your reason for reverting someone else's work or for edit warring; instead, provide a reason that is based on policies, guidelines, or common sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AllSportsfan16 (talk • contribs) 16:04, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Your edits were reverted by another editor right then and there the bold changes which you made were undone. You need a new consensus to go forward with your proposed changes. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:20, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- I understand why you are trying to keep the map and table for this current election. However it makes absolutely no sense to keep the one on the 2012 page. That election was four years ago and a map that contains possible electoral votes related to poll results is not necessary or accurate and is silly to even show.AllSportsfan16 (talk) 00:58, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- Also can you remove me from the administrator incident board. I apologized and I won't do it again. Also while I was off Wikipedia someone changed the page back to how it was before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AllSportsfan16 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
Think about this for a second. If you have two polls, one that comes out Oct 22-26 and one that comes out 25-26 it makes way more sense to use the 20-26 one because it covers the same time period 25-26 plus it covers 20-24. Also it has a lower margin of error. It shouldn't matter what day the poll starts it matters what day it comes out. It makes more sense to use a longer time period than a shorter one. It's simple logic.AllSportsfan16 (talk) 16:09, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Understand that these projects are for biblical/theological studies, for example, Supernatural (U.S. TV series) references biblical names, places etc. and visually does representations of actually occult sigils but is not taken is a series matter because the ideal of the show is just a show. Unless there is some sort of news worthy information that's making academics get excited and speculate on the particular manga/anime, the subject is irrelevant to the project. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 03:33, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- @JudeccaXIII: The entire series is about demons, deals with a fictional Christian organization, and drops references left and right. These things exist in fiction as well and expanding project coverage is a good thing not a bad one. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:45, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- I also want to add that the main character Zilch is possessed by Alastor. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:47, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- I referenced Supernatural (U.S. TV series) as an example why it isn't on either Wikiproject, but for more clarity, it's not educational. Constantine (film), Constantine (TV series), and Supernatural (U.S. TV series), all of these media content mention satan, angels, demons, demon possession, sigils etc. but there not on Wikiprojsects Occult on Christianity because it's not educational, it's just media entertainment. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 03:58, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- I don't see any policy/guideline related arguments in your reasoning so this is nothing more than a WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT discussion. As for education, by whose definition are we going by? If someone sees a mention of Alastor wouldn't the person who is interested look up or want to look up this info? It isn't confined to anime or manga entertainment. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:04, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- If someone wanted to look up Alastor, he/she would simply click the BLUE LINK or go to the search bar. This is common sense. If you don't know what a Wikiproject is, see WP:PROJGUIDE. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 04:22, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Orange Line
I'm not sure what you're attempting to do with the Orange Line article; one image for every several paragraphs is a normal amount, and the previous amount was neither causing substantial double-stacking or text squeezing. By putting images in a gallery, you're removing them from their textual context. The "Essex" sign at Chinatown means a lot more when it's next to a paragraph discussing name changes.
Galleries are generally depreciated at the article-scale level; they're really only useful at the section scale to present a time series, comparison, or other closely related group of images. See Littleton/Route 495 (MBTA station)#New station for an example of that. On the Orange Line article, it might be appropriate to have a gallery under the Rolling stock section to compare the original stock with the 01100s with the upcoming order, as that would use the images directly to support the text.
"A gallery is not a tool to shoehorn images into an article, and a gallery consisting of an indiscriminate collection of images of the article subject should generally either be improved in accordance with the above paragraph or moved to Wikimedia Commons" is the relevant part of WP:GALLERY. "One rule of thumb to consider: if, due to its content, such a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of [insert article title]", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons" is also of note.
If you're this worried about there being 9 images in a 2300-word article, then feel free to expand it into a more suitable length. Contrary to your claim on the talk page, the history section could use a rather substantial expansion. There are several important topics like the original plans for the elevated system, the post-1901 capacity expansion and platform lengthenings across the line, and the abandoned attempts to extend the line past its current temrinals that need covered.

Anyway, not many people were at the cinemas that day, so I managed to nab my first kiss. It was totally romantic; I was sweating afterwards. Anyway, I took her to my school ball, which was a lot of fun. I was so delighted when I had her for the school dinner dance; a good friend introduced me to her and later I decided to go romantic with her. The school quiz night was a bonus as I managed to get my kiss in front of all my friends when we came 8th overall. It was so much fun!!! --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:11, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

AXS
I'd like to get your opinion on a source, AXS. They seem to be reporting on a series of fan events, but are also a major corporation. I'm having issues determining if they would be considered a reliable source, as several articles that lack sources could benefit from their coverage. Esw01407 (talk) 18:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Esw01407: In this case while the website may or may not be notable, the staff as individuals may not be. Like for the example you provided above, who is Christen Bejar? Is he a blogger or staff member that posts on the website, and if so is he vetted? If it were AXS as a whole for the author then maybe, but here it is a bit more tricky. I would ask for more opinions over at WP:RSN, my gut is leaning towards yes for AXS as a whole, but situational for the article authors. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:50, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Chivalry of a Failed Knight and The Asterisk War
While the RfC for the template/categorization situation at WT:ANIME is still ongoing, do you mind if we should join forces on the Chivalry of a Failed Knight and The Asterisk War articles? They seem to have no reception (either sales or critical responses for the light novels, manga or anime) or production information in the articles, and Chivalry needs more references; we can get those up to at least C-Class or B-Class.

Georgia's 6th congressional district special election, 2017
You added info that there would be a runoff election could you provide a source that says this? Thanks. Brian Everlasting (talk) 03:23, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Same again
You are doing it again as above with Corriebertus. This is an ongoing discussion, why close it? People are allowed to revisit this idea as new editors come along, ideas change, new refs are found. Im hoping this does not turn uncivil. Whats the problem if people take awhile to work through the issue? Wheres the harm in that? SaintAviator lets talk 06:09, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- @SaintAviator: If you feel that consensus has changed then why not just start a new move request? Yes people have the right to revisit the same thing again, but this discussion has been open since October 5, 2016. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:27, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Cleanup tags
Hello Knowledgekid87. I saw your note.
From WP:CLEANUP:
Avoid "drive-by" tagging.
- Tags should be accompanied by a comment on the article's talk page explaining the problem and beginning a discussion on how to fix it, or, for simpler problems, a remark using the reason parameter as shown below; tagging editors must be willing to follow-through with substantive discussion.
If the article needs work, please be specific in what work is needed.

Do I think you made a mistake?
Hello. I presented my case in the talk page. I'd like for you to read it and determine again if my edits were "disruptive". Whatever you decide is what I'll accept.--Rob2k19 (talk) 19:06, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Rob2k19: I think you presented your reasoning well on the talk-page so no it is not disruptive, talk with the other editors and work together to a compromise. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:38, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
Need an opinion about notability
Hello, I have started analyzing articles on breaking news events to determine if they are still notable after the initially wave of media coverage. I found this article, 2016 stabbing of Brussels police officers, that received attention in early October 2016 but the media response died down since then. I respect your opinion at AfDs so I ask: do you think this is worth nominating for deletion? Because it is a suspected terrorist attack, I anticipate the "but it's a terrorist attack; it most be notable" rationales but I want your policy-based judgment on the article.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:13, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
Another editor has asked why Troyer (best known as "Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers series) is not included on the list. It looks like his entry was deleted in your edit on 12 May 2017. Could you please check if this deletion was intentional and leave a note at Talk:List of people with dwarfism#Verne Troyer? Best, --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:41, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Oleg Bezuglov for deletion
Dear Knowledgekid87,
Since you sometimes take part in AfD discussions, could you, please take a look at the Oleg Bezuglov article and consider contributing your opinion in discussion on whether it should be deleted or not. It was nominated on suspicion for not passing the WP:MUSICBIO criterion. The discussion is currently dead in the water, and I'm afraid it might be relisted again because of that. Thanks in advance!

Flag and constitution of Malorossiya
Hi Have you got sources for that ? --Panam2014 (talk) 15:17, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
- Where are you talking about? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:19, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
- About the Zakhartchenko's announcement. --Panam2014 (talk) 15:20, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

- Again you are being too broad, are you talking about the section where I placed the "rewrite tag" or are you talking about the revival bit? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:35, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
- No, I'm talking about the revival. The flag has changed? And can we find or the text of the constitution of July 2017? --Panam2014 (talk) 15:57, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
- The idea of a united front against Ukraine was revived, as for the latter I have no idea. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:59, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Sailor Moon Articles
I don't like how Sk8erPrince edited articles involving Sailor Moon. The Viz Media dub isn't the only English dub of the show and some of those articles were sourced before. I would say that to him, but I'm too upset to do it. — FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 05:21, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
Kimetsu no Yaiba reception section
I made the following edit on the Reception section from the Kimetsu no Yaiba Page.
"According to an advertisement placed by Shueisha in Shinjuku Station, the first five volumes had printed 1 million copies as of May 2017. [2]. The first seven volumes had 1.5 million copies in print as of August 2017."
And it had these 2 Twitter links as sources. https://twitter.com/kimetsu_off/status/861471980519694336 https://twitter.com/kimetsu_off/status/892976710190112768
Proof this is an official Twitter account.
https://twitter.com/SHUEISHA_PR/following
As the description of the SHUEISHA_PR account indicates, this account only retweets things from official Shueisha property related accounts. Also, all the accounts this official Shueisha twitter follows are official accounts for various Shueisha properties. If you look at the top zone, you will find @kimetsu_off and you can even find retweeted tweets from the kimetsu_off account. Hopefully this is enough proof to convince you that the sales information is 100% legit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.114.139.180 (talk) 15:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
Edit: Hi, I saw that you still kept that review in on the page, but I truly think it is pointless, I mean, who posts reviews of singular chapters of a manga on Wikipedia? At least wait for the first volume to get released(in English), that will be in 2018 most likely, more reviews will pop up then surely. Only the first 3 chapters have officially been translated when the manga launched over a year ago and I believe it truly is pointless to point out a review of 1 singular chapter when the series currently has 7 volumes and 71 chapters. It's kind of weird in my opinion. Thanks for your patience.
New Edit: Also, you could allow the print numbers for the first 5 volumes as well since it shows the quick progress the series had, going from 700k to 1.5 million volumes in print in the span of 2 months.
Thare was a dead link I switched it
I just wants you to know what I did. I think you made a mistake so I switched it I hope that's ok
