New Orleans neighborhood maps

Hi. Kudos on your good work producing New Orleans neighborhood maps. Thank you for your work. However I'm wondering if you can produce some modified versions? Some would be more useful as just showing an individual neighborhood (for example, just the French Quarter or just the CBD for those repective aritcles, rather than one map showing the two together), or traditional regions, such as Algiers (Algiers.png shows too wide an area to be used to show Algiers Point, while only showing only the upper half of all of Aligers). Alternatively, is there some sort of template/program you could reccomend to create or modify maps you can reccomend? Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

The current map is a heavily cleaned up version of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy produced from an old 1980's hand traced map that was included along with the originally published New Orleans Planning Comission data.

I was planning of making the smaller maps based on this map, however, I am not satisfied with the map template. So, I'm in the process of re-mapping the whole group of them with some of the government produced census data maps produced by the feds. It's the same data source that the GNOCDC people use. I'm fidgeting with the settings and drawing lines right now. --06:04, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Sounds great, thanks. -- Infrogmation 01:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Seiyū article

Thanks for helping out with the article. (^_^) --日本穣 00:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Nerima Daikon Brothers, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Template:Oh My Goddess/change

I dont think thats a good idea. I made the template modular for a reason. We do not need info about every individual character linked on every page.

Furthermore. I do not believe it is a good idea to cram up all the links together.

Template:nihongo

I really liked this template. I made a few modifications altering and simplifying the code w/o changing functionality. Feel free to revert if you dont like the change.

I have also noticed that you pass the first parameter in bold. The template can do this for you so you dont have to pass it bodl. --Cat out 22:51, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Inuyasha article

Thank you for helping to improve the InuYasha article. I think your footnote changes have improved it quite a bit. Josh 05:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Vampire hunter d splitting

I don't really know what to about the novels sections. the same info can be found on Vampire Hunter D (Novels). In addition, that section as spoilers. I kind of wanted to replace with a brief paragragh.--Dangerous-Boy 18:52, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Oh My Goddess!

After considering lots of options, I decided to use your template structure. My oppose was premature and was not Oh My Goddess! like ^_^.

I did change it a bit and there are still 3 templates. What do you think?

Okashina Okashi

You've nominated OO for deletion. Please explain why, especially since OO's had an impact on English education for about 60,000 students in Taiwan and other parts of Asia. This would seem to make the comic notable per Wiki's guidelines. Xuanwu 22:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm in the process. --Kunzite 22:32, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I noted you marked it as violating copyright reasons. Please note that I am one of the copyright holders of OO info and I have posted in the talk page an explicit permission to use said words. I also noticed you've failed to make the appropriate entry on the Wiki Copyright page. Please do so quickly so I can mark the page as having permission, there, too. Then this matter can be resolved quickly. Xuanwu 22:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Reason's up. Permission isn't needed. Permission isn't compatible with the wikipedia license. You (and the rest of the copyright holders) need to put the text into the GFDL. --Kunzite 22:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Please instruct me how to do that. Also, these points could have been addressed without going to AfD so quickly. Let's work together to resolve these issues. First, let's handle the copyright issues, since I understand that could be problematic (in case you were wondering, Xuanwu is a pseudonym, just as Emily uses Emi-chan). I can also take care of the lack of citation; I have the publishing info for the curriculum book in which OO was used to teach 60,000 students and can add it to the bottom of the page. This seems to be the only case where a citation is needed. What else would you liek to see done to resolve the matters you raised? Xuanwu 22:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Lobelia

Hey there! About the merging part...I only add a little details and I have pictures of both Tetio and Paris Hanagumi from the site. Yet I still need time to add more details. So to make long story short, does it mean I have to write more details so that I won't get the merging.

I've notice that in the character page, some of you posted the charcter details below their names. I would like to post a picture like I've mention about so that we don't need to put the personal details. Is that okay with you?

What WP:FICTION is not

This is not a policy, it is a guideline. I or anyone is not required to follow it. The merger quest you talk about on your userpage is something I consider disruptive. Articles often need time to be improved --Cat out 22:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

umm. WP:FICTION is a SUMMARY of the POLICY Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Minor characters

1. Major characters (and places, concepts, etc) in a work of fiction should be covered within the article on that work of fiction. If the article on the work itself becomes long, then giving major characters an article of their own is good practice.
2. Minor characters (and places, concepts, etc) in a work of fiction should be listed with short descriptions in a "List of minor characters." This list should reside in the article relating to the work itself, unless either becomes long, in which case a separate article for the list is good practice.
3. Fictional characters which are cultural icons transcending their appearance in a particular work of fiction, or who cannot be neatly tied to a particular work of fiction or fictional universe deserve articles of their own, regardless of other circumstances.
4. It would be useful to add redirects to the article page or list of minor characters, from anything that's listed in there.
5. This has been summarized at WP:FICT for easy reference.

--Kunzite 12:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay! I understand some of it but I'll try to get it.

Okashina Okashi vanity page

I've twice tagged Okashina Okashi as a vanity article that may need to be userfied. As I think you know, this article about a minor webcomic written by User:Xuanwu, is created and extensively edited by Xuanwu. Xuanwu has removed the userfy/vanity tag twice. I appear to be failing at helping this editor understand that Wikipedia is not the palce for vanity and advertising -- do you have any ideas? -- Dragonfiend 22:23, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

It would be best to be successful with the AfD. Is there any place to advertise to gain more attention? The editor may be a hopeless case. See the link I posted toward the end of the deletion page. --Kunzite 22:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

You're probably right -- just waiting a few days until this is deleted will hopefully solve the problem. I don't know of a good place to get this more attention during the AfD process, and I'm not sure that's even necessary. Keep in mind that "The outcome of AfD nominations are primarily determined by the quality of arguments for or against deletion; the process is immune to ballot-stuffing or sockpuppetry." I think we've made a pretty clear-cut case that this is a vanity article with no credible, non-trivial sources, so hopefully the closing admin will see that over the "Keep just because I like the comic" comments. -- Dragonfiend 23:10, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

(Sigh.) I have a feeling this was VfDed for entirely the wrong reasons (because it's a vanity article and you wanted to make a point to the author, rather than for notability reasons), but what's done is done, and it's not really that important (except perhaps to those few people directly involved). Still, I wish you'd both started with some of the really bad examples of non-notable webcomics (e.g. God Mode and probably many others), and left the ones which are moderately well-known online mostly alone until those were gone and everyone had a clearer idea of the scale of things. I'm trying to figure out AfD and have a clean out of the worst examples now, but it's tricky and probably a lot of work... - makomk 14:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

My main argument was that it did not meet the WP:WEB requirements. The vanity stuff was on top of it. I only noticed this article because I had done a recat on it. If you have more, less notable web comics, I'd be happy to participate in an afd. --Kunzite 16:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Sam Cham Episodes

Basically I freaked out and made a big mess. I'm going to definately revert it now, and just go through and shorten the summaries. -- Makaio 23:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Not that the episode split isn't okay for size issues... but what happened to the first 13 episodes? -- Makaio 20:03, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, found them! -- Makaio 20:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Cool man, I'll look for snapshots in episodes as well... how about 2-3 images an ep? The summaries are long enough to support them. -- Makaio 20:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Musicals

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because your name is listed as a participant in WikiProject Musicals (previously WikiProject Broadway) or I feel you may be interested in the project. It seems that the project has laid dormant for quite awhile, but I would like to work toward getting it up and operative. I have a few ideas that I've outlined on the talk page, and would love your input. Working together, I think we can signifigantly improve the quality of the articles relating to musicals on Wikipedia. —  MusicMaker 06:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Hirano mess

Sorry for moving the page when you were submitting your comment. I was just trying to fix the mess Bakemon had made by moving it via cut-and-paste. (^_^;; ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 00:54, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Makaiju/merge

Sorry about all this mess. The problem is, the GFDL, which all submissions are licensed under, requires that prior versions be kept around. It's a tricky situation. My guess is that in the end it will either simply be deleted, or someone who knows what they're doing better than I do will have to do a "Cut & Paste move" to move the history of this page into the history of another page. Anyway, I moved the debate to WP:MFD, if you want to add your comments there. Mangojuice^talk 04:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Look at the edits made to the page. The categories were removed by a bot-like edit and fixed a typo with the header code. Two equal signs and a handfull of categories are extraordinarily minor edits and that's not that kinda thing that violates the GFDL. --Kunzite 04:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Reader data on spoilers

I see. I'm sorry I misterpreted the question. Well I have not seen any data ethier, which is why I see the template's reasoning of consideration as quite dubious (we claim to assist people but we've no idea if it is accomplishing this or how it assists the website). How would we go about gathering this data...? Ideas..? -Randall Brackett 18:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Avoid personal remarks.

Please comment on content, not on the contributor as you have done here. --Cat out 08:50, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, we need a more comprehensive template for Sailor Moon!

Why just the characters? I agree, it's time to expand the template. :) Runa27 09:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

delete and merge...

...are illegal because they violate GFDL. When articles are merged, history must be preserved. Why? I am not sure. More copyright-savvy people will prob. clarify at DRV. But I am certain they're illegal. - CrazyRussian talk/email 03:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete and merge is an illegal vote because it loses the author information about who wrote what's merged. The two most similar legal options are Merge and history merge (to leave all the history in the same article; rarely seen) and Merge and redirect (commonly abbreviated to merge; quite common), both of which preserve the history. CrazyRussian is right about the copyvio it can create if the merge's history is lost. --ais523 11:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
