My userpage

I have added more words (and its video-game related) with japanese symbols so you can use "romaji" words. Whenever you're in the mood to add translate them into romaji words, feel free to add them from my userpage. JMBZ-12 (talk) 01:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

In the future use this site and merely look at our rules on romanization.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Cool. Thanks. JMBZ-12 (talk) 18:15, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Byzantium1095.jpg

File:Byzantium1095.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Byzantium1095.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Byzantium1095.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 22:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

The Fame Monster

I notice that you have recently made edits to the article The Fame Monster. Around one month ago, this AfD discussion decided that all of the content about this re-release should be kept at The Fame. Thanks, Dale 13:52, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Consensus is known to change. And all I did was make the italics right.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:39, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Impersonation

Hi, I think I've found another Japanhero sockpuppet. Earlier today, User Ryurong (probably a spin-off from your username) blanked Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Japanhero. I just thought it was a big coincidence that the user's first edit was to blank that page. Regards, — Oli OR Pyfan! 08:44, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Wonderful.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:44, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Photo of campus at Lake Osceola

I understand that the photo of the campus was deleted. Image:UofMiamiLakeOsceola.jpg Could you possibly take a replacement? Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 00:46, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I graduated.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:47, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I recalled that. But if you live near campus or have a friend who does, perhaps you could help. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 03:34, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

References

I respect all that you for Wikipedia, however, as I understand it, quotation marks are only necessary if there are spaces in the reference name. By avoiding spaces, I don't have to worry about when to add quotes and when they are not necessary. I try to use reasonably short reference names (without spaces) and avoid the quote marks to reduce the work load for the parser. All of this is invisible to the end user, so let's leave it up to each editor. Racepacket (talk) 03:34, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

The quotation marks are there because it's an HTML thing. Just to avoid any problems I'd prefer if you just added the quotation marks regardless.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:36, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
I thought that this is all handled by the Cite Extension before the HTML is generated or rendered by the browsers. So HTML syntax has nothing to do with its operation. Racepacket (talk) 06:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
I guess I don't know then. I just think it should be used just in case.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:00, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Web hosting services

Is there a good reason to block web hosting services? Fred Talk 13:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Not web hosting services but web hosting servers. Such servers should normally not have anyone editing from them, because it is server space being edited from, not a computer. People usually set up proxies (open or otherwise) on these servers.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Shocker (Decade)

Do you think there should be a page for Shocker from Decade? AlienX2009 (talk) 02:30, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

No. The sections in the character lists are fine.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:33, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Digrumes

You blocked this user over two years ago and now he wants to come back. Any input? Daniel Case (talk) 14:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

As much as one could extend good faith, why the hell would he go back to a troll account after two years other than to start drama?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:27, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Which picture?

I don't really know which the picture of Franz Kafka should be use? Please notify. ApprenticeFan talk contribs 02:16, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

The statue is found in Prague. I've modified the caption to make it clearer.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:17, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
I found the older Kafka monument picture in three English-language Wiki articles. Could you change it? The upload date was 2005. ApprenticeFan talk contribs 02:21, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
The age of the photo is not important. All that matters is clarity and relevance.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:22, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
