Your signature

Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia! I just thought I'd let you know that when you sign your posts, you can sign them just with "~~~~" rather than "~~~~MrsSpooky". Signing the latter way will make your username show up twice, while signing just the four tildes will automatically make your username show up once. Hope that helps. tktktk 18:03, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, also, when you reply to someone on a talk page, use ":" before your comment to indent. And if you wanted to reply to me here, for example, you would put "::" to indent further. tktktk 18:06, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

ultimatum vs proposal

wikipedia uses common words unless it can't be avoided. Proposal and ultimatum aren't that different. ultimatum is too specific.Bread Ninja (talk) 22:12, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Just so we can end this discussion, the wikiguide has something for this WP:COMMONWORD.Bread Ninja (talk) 22:15, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

please sign your poost with 4 tildes (~) at the end of you're comment. Also, it basically applies to the same thing. the guide ask to use common words before creating an article (which is saying don't add specific words in an article).Plus that section of the article isn't referenced. And i can assure you not everyone knows the word meaning of "ultimatum" and isn't used commonly and we should use a more basic form. dictionary.com defintion also describes ultimatum as aporposal.Bread Ninja (talk) 22:30, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

yes that is very simialr to a proposal. dictionary.com described ultimatum as a proposal too. another way is that he "demanded" or something else. problem is that one word is doing most of the explaining. it should be changed to something less specific and more genreal for the reader could understand even if that word isn't used.

and wikipedia doens't exactly strive for accurate information, they just want accurate information from second-third party reliable sources. wikipedia strives for accurate information (as in citation and verification).

there is no reliable source out there calling that situation an "ultimatum" and still even if it's more accurate, that word isn't used as commonly as you may think and only complicates more than it should. but you're missing the point. the point is too help readers understand, if theres a more specific, less-common word out there that fits, yet another word already in there that describes the situation just fine, then there is no reason to remove it.Bread Ninja (talk) 02:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

you're adding 5 tildes isntead of 4. so be careful about that. alo i think it should be reworded so we don't have to worry about uncommon words.Bread Ninja (talk) 02:49, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

just letting you know you can't justify reverting something simply because you think the song was amazing. although no reason was given to why it was removed and therefore OK to revert, you should still keep your view encyclopedic.Bread Ninja (talk) 15:51, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Popularity polls

Please see previous discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 35#Anime source, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 42#MyAnimeList RS?, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 43#ANN rankings about the use of online popularity poles in articles. In short, don't use them as they all fail WP:RS. —Farix (t | c) 03:54, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how a poll can supported the "most highly acclaimed anime" and "greatest anime series ever created" statement. That is a statement that must be supported by a series of reviewers, but not a popularity poll. —Farix (t | c) 11:12, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
