4chan

I give you the award for "Faster Edit Revert" EVER for reverting my edit in less than a minute! No, really. Amazing. As for the edit itself, 4chan has been dead for several times, and the "is dead again" just plays with that fact. The site is down, therefore dead. Again. you're free to revert that, but stop screaming and yelling at people just because you don't agree with a valid and informative edit for anyone looking for info on current state. I could as well edit the links and put "DOWN" on 4chan.org with last checked date today. Remember, you don't hold the Inifinite Truth for edits, nor you ahve any right to yell at people for them. Next time, revert an edit stating VALID REASONS and polite rebuttal of it. In short, I'm ashamed of seeing what looks like a very valid and hard working contributor of wikipedia behave like a /b/tard. Kry 22:46, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not here to report that a website is down, when that is extremely common. 4chan dies several times. It'll be up either tonight, or tomorrow. That's all.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

4chan deaths ARE part of 4chan information, actually. Unreliability of servers and bad admin as it might be, even 4chan's own main page was stating "not dead yet!" for the last months. I'd love to know your source of information on the lenght of the downtime and its reasons, now that you seem so confident that it will be right back. Wikipedia is a dynamic service and repository of information, and the fact a website is down is absolutely right in place. What could be more important for a website than the fact it's DOWN? It's the most important thing that can happen to it next to being slashdotted, which would end up in being down anyway. Now, on a more serious note, this discussion would ahve never happened if your edit had a message suitable for a revert, instead of a "NO U"-like self-righteous yelling. Look closer at your browser's url. This is not /b/. Kry 22:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is an utterly unremarkable occurrence. Who cares? 4chan goes "down" for short periods pretty much as a weekly event. We don't need to keep a running ticker of their current server status. --tjstrf Now on editor review! 23:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree that... no, wait, I don't. The migration of users to 7chan, the edits on the talk page, and the fact everyone is going WTF IS GOING ON on irc channel mean this is indeed not a common event. Small downtimes, sure, slowness, sure, but not a serveral-hours downtime has happened in some time, in EVERY server in the site (not just img, or zip, but every single server that hosts 4chan). While I agree that we don't need to keep such a running ticket, and my edit was actually in good faith to AVOID further edits and talk page disruption (notice the "for unknown reasons" in it), and I feel highly amused by this healthy discussion. However, Ryūlóng has been warned several times in the past about being too trigger happy with reverts and deletion, and this one is a good example of how NOT to handle a revert (unpolite, no talk page discussion, etc). I was just pointing that out in his talk page, not publically on the 4chan's talk page, tho I might just do that next time. On a side note, please don't duplicate messages and information, it only wastes space (read: don't message me the edits you do in other sites like you did right now). If I'm interested in something, rest assured I'll notice it. Kry 23:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is unremarkable. Moot forgot to pay his bills, and the site's going to be down for up to two days. This is not really that notable. Now, have fun editting something other than "ZOMG 4CHAN'S DOWN"—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, you know that now, not before. And please, leave the self-righteous assholiness elsewhere. It's getting old, Mr Big Guy. Kry 04:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was unremarkable before he confirmed it as well. --tjstrf Now on editor review! 05:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Split

I think that the "episodes" section of the Power Rangers template is too long and doesn't really aid in navigation. I propose splitting it into a {{Power Rangers episodes}} template and a link to the "List of" page, similar to how Villians and Zords are done. Agree? Hbdragon88 07:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I think that a good portion of those episodes can be outright removed from the main template and only list key episodes (if we can decide on such a group).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would still be too numerous. If we regard the season opener and finale as key ones (as it appears to be done now), we would have at least 20 entries. Hbdragon88 21:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nuke those, too. Frankly, each series premiere and finale isn't very notable. "Day of the Dumpster" is, because it is the first. "Forever Red" is because it was the 10th anniversary. Frankly, several other episodes I do not really see as having importance to the series (all of the Tommy-centric episodes from Dino Thunder, the Abaranger dub from Dino Thunder). Mystic Force has its own episode guide, so does SPD, so whatever episodes that have pages from there can be nuked. Use your own discretion at what should and should not be removed from the list.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I went ahead and prodded most of them, but I'm afraid of going through AFD - Fighting Spirit (Power Rangers) was AFD'd and was overwhelmingly kept due to people saying "well, every other series has an episode per page." Darn ti. We need power. Have you thought about fomring a Power Rangers WikiProject? Then we could say, "Well, WP:PR has decided not to" similar to how the PCP project tried to AFD Here Comes the Squirtle Squad. Hbdragon88 01:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By "Nuke" I meant remove them from the template, not prod. And a tokusatsu WikiProject is in the works, once this semester is over with.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However those pages certainly can go the way of the dino.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wolf Wizard (Koragg, Leanbow)

I was just wondering why my write-up on the debate about Leanbow being a Red Ranger (or a Ranger at all) was removed from the Koragg page. I feel it's relevant to the character, and debates like this are a part of Power Rangers. I can't find what the OR tag means, but you also labeled it POV. I felt like I presented it fairly, with for and against for each side. I can't see where I used a biased POV. If I correct the problem, can this point be put back? I feel like this is a valid point, to be placed either here or on the Red Ranger page. --Gatoronfire4lord 07:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It, much like the same/similar section on the article for the Magna Defender is not really that encyclopedic.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would consider it encyclopedic, since it's a question that many people ask. But, I just checked the Other Rangers and Ranger-like Allies page, and that seems like a good place to put all those debates, so that information doesn't crowd every single questionable Ranger page. However, the Wolf Warrior information has not been added to the Koragg section on that page. Further, it seems that Koragg being listed there (with the justification that he at times assisted the Mystic Force Rangers against their common foe, Imperious) is somewhat inappropriate, since he was never truly an ally to the Rangers until he changed into the Wolf Warrior. I have two main suggestions. 1) Move information on Koragg from "Ranger-like allies" page to his character page and replace with similar section on Wolf Warrior. 2) Add "Questionable Red Rangers" section to the Red Ranger page, since there does not seem to be a page that addresses this great debate in the Ranger fandom. --Gatoronfire4lord 10:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen the changes on the Other Rangers and Ranger-like allies page. Thanks! But some things still confuse me. Magna Defender is listed under both categories. Also, Koragg is listed as an ally but Wolf Warrior is listed as an Other Ranger, even though they are essentially the same thing. I also noticed some clarifications on the Red Ranger page that address the debatable Red Rangers. Thanks! --Gatoronfire4lord 11:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

I searched for sentai on Google, and found nothing that indicated an official English spelling. If Toei itself uses those spellings, I fully accept your versions and won't move them again. Interrobamf 09:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Just rolled out {{Infobox Power Rangers}} and transcluded it on Eric Myers and Nova Ranger. I wanted to see what you thought of it. Hbdragon88 05:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks okay. EDIT FASTER :D—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. This is bugging me. I tried to add a "Series2" paramater to accomodate characters who spanned two seasons (such as MMPR/Zeo, Zeo/Turbo, and Turbo/In Space characters), but it isn't showing up...you have any experience in parser functions? Hbdragon88 09:07, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think this may be a different mute obsessive. Not that it matters; revert and block, revert and block, it's all the same... :) —tregoweth (talk) 06:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You sure?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fairly sure; it seems to be the same editor as 66.245.192.209 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and 76.179.38.52 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who keeps hitting Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Chipettes, Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, and Justin Stewart, among others. —tregoweth (talk) 07:03, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two unique autistic entities now?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are many. There's one (most recently, from 69.224.225.224 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) who keeps changing Columbia Pictures, Paramount Pictures, TriStar Pictures, and Warner Independent Pictures to say that some combination of them is merging, or that some film is a co-production of Universal, TriStar, Warner, and Alien Productions, or something equally improbable. Wikipedia just seems to attract, shall we say, creative thinkers. :)—tregoweth (talk) 07:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful...—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tregoweth, I've noticed that all four of those addresses belong to completely different ISPs, no two of them share one in common. Wow, this keeps getting better and better. Tuxide 07:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Common, I know you're acting in good faith there. But the way you present it does not seem like that at times. (Oh look, I'm back, oh wait... No I'm not, just dropping by to check on things). --AlternativeAccountK 09:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
