List of Shin Lupin III episodes

Congratulations, the list has been promoted. I would suggest running User:AndyZ/peerreviewer on the article, excluding list content, it may bring as of yet undiscovered issues to light. I have, for instance, noticed use of the word "several", which is a bit vague. Regards, G.A.S 20:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

My editing of maburaho

I edited the page of Maburaho since the reception is based solely on what the american reviewers. While in the english version it says that it has mediocre. It's not based on the reviews that it recieved in japan and other countries(which it has been a big seller hence the reason it was turned into a anime then manga, since it was originally a Light Novel) so to simply write that it has mediocre reviews is based solely on on country is reason enough take it out.

The book is made for the Japanese and it has things that Americans simply wouldn't get, hence another reason it garnered "mediocre" reviews.

And that's the reason I took out that section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegahunter (talk • contribs) 20:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

My editing of maburaho 2

I feel that it isn't wise to add any section without all of the information. Simply put the critical reception is based upon the people it wasn't intended for. The Japanese made Maburaho with the Japanese people in mind, hence Japanese novel/manga/anime. So I think for critical reception to be added without the original country's information is reason enough not to have the section til otherwise. Though, It does not need to be added, since pages such as Ranma 1/2 and other animes on wikipedia do not need such things as uninformed sections just to meet standerds. In any case, I feel critical reception is off base knowing that the light novel is over 18 volume and the series is only 24 episodes so of course it would lack certin things, BUT critical reception is meant for the entire Maburaho media and not just the 24 episode anime. This shows that the 'reviewers' have no knowledge of the light novel series otherwise they wouldnt use terms such as "While it has these good points, it didn't capitalize on them and instead worked hard towards keeping with a mediocre series of events and scripts." hence once again reason enough for me to take out a section like that. yup yup —Precedingunsigned comment added by Vegahunter (talk • contribs) 20:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Lupin III Character

May I ask why you oppose replacing Template:Infobox Lupin III Character with the more general Template:Infobox animanga character? --Farix(Talk) 01:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I actually didn't check that it was the template that was used before and you had switched it to the general template and for that I apologize. However, I do think that the specific Lupin III character template is better for the needs of the Lupin the 3rd character articles. All of the fields are used, with the exception of the three sizes for the male characters, and the fields are based on the official character description page on the Japanese Lupin the 3rd website found athttp://www.lupin-3rd.net/character/index.html. The template remains functional, small, and void of any unnecessary fields. If you feel that the general template is more suitable, by all means change it back. All I ask however is that you please transfer the information found in the Template, such as preferred weapons and measurements, into the new template. Perhaps a novel modification to the Lupin template would be to include the creator field. --AutoGyro 02:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Measurements were not included in the general template because they were extremely trivial details. I would say the same for weapons as they don't appear to be a plot point in the Lupin series. The same can be said for the brand of cigarette. Just because an official source publishes these details doesn't automatically mean the details are important when describing the character. --Farix (Talk) 13:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
While that might be true for brand of cigarettes, I have to disagree on weapon of choice. Lupin's signature weapon IS the Walther P-38. After all, a whole television special was titled after it. Jigen as a sharpshooter is also defined by his gun, and so is Goemon by his Zentetsuken. Measurment information, while trivial, are still part of the character and are better presented in an infobox than in the article proper.--AutoGyro 17:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
The Template:Infobox animanga character allows for a customizable profile information ("paux" parameters). The info on the weapon and cigarettes (while trivial)can be incorporated. I like the new infobox, it's attractive. We should all give it a chance.--Nohansen 18:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Check out Zenigata.--Nohansen 19:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Looks good. Can we change the border from the gray color? I would also add the Height and Weight fields. I think it's interesting that Monkey Punch invisioned Fujiko as being 5'6. I thought she would've been taller.--AutoGyro 20:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Well this girl is 5'6, so it's not so farfetched... And yeah, there's a color parameter (and more). It's all here.--Nohansen 21:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Capitalization of "Rupan Sansei"

Although your reasoning for not capitalizing "Rupan Sansei" makes sense, I think it may still be better to capitalize it. Standard practice here seems to be capitalizing proper names when using the 'nihongo' template. Compare the capitalization used in Shigeru Miyamoto, Shigesato Itoi, Akira Toriyama, Osamu Tezuka, and so on. I pretty much never see the names uncapitalized in this situation. So it would seem to be more consistent to give the name as "Rupan Sansei" instead of "rupan sansei". -furrykef (Talk at me) 16:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I can see where you're coming from :) but also, the member who made the original edit commented that, aside from the no capitals in Japanese thing, the "rupan sansei" is the pronunciation of the title in romaji, not the title itself. Since at Wikipedia we strive to be as accurate as possible, perhaps we could bring this up to the rest of the anime/manga project members for discussion in order to reach a consensus? :) --AutoGyro (talk) 20:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Do you still wish to use the "Committed Identity" thing?

Hi there,
I saw your comment at Template_talk:User_committed_identity. I feel your pain. I'm almost a complete dummy, but I did get it figured out, so if you're interested, I can walk you through it in non-Geek, plain English. (I find many WP tech articles far too techie for the average reader. Widespread complaint.) Let me know. I'm not here every day, so it might be a few days.

oh, hey, totally! Thanks a lot :) --AutoGyro (talk) 01:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't know if you saw it, but I first put a long set of instructions here on your page. Since then, instead of taking up so much of your space, I've created my ownsubpage with the simplified instructions, and it's been greatly improved through feedback from the peeps at the Committed ID project. Have a look when you have a chance. Hope it helps, and sorry for having hogged your talk page for a day or two. Regards, Unimaginative Username (talk) 05:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, no problem! I've been busy, so I haven't had a chance to follow the instructions yet, but thanks a lot for putting them up :) --AutoGyro (talk) 13:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note onhis user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

Reviewer permission

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to onlya small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Test???

Hello Autogyro, this is about a recent edit by you, may I know what was your intention? --Dave ♠♣♥♦№1185♪♫™ 23:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

It was in regards to this edit. Because the user was an IP address, it may not be the same person as the one who received previous warnings, and may just have been a curious new editor, for which I usually give the test template instead of the vandalism template, unless they return to the article and leave more nonsense again. --AutoGyro (talk) 23:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Now, I see your point but between leaving a test template and a uw template, it is usually best to leave the latter when pertaining to a patent nonsense/silly vandalism edit. Nothing personal, just due procedures before a block is warranted. Best. --Dave ♠♣♥♦№1185♪♫™ 00:24, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't closing discussions I don't like, I was condensing them to save space. It's been done many times in featured pic discussions, like in here. Most of that discussion involved personal attacks between you and another user anyway and added nothing to the conversation, but distracted from the main points and buried votes and relevant discussions of other users. --AutoGyro (talk) 16:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

National Archives ExtravaSCANza

You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!

This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us!Dominic·t 01:08, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited.
