Lupin the 3rd Reference in Cowboy Bebop

I wonder why you delete the part that said there are Lupin the 3rd references in Cowboy Bebop. There is no person in the anime industry that would deny that Cowboy Bebop is influenced by Lupin the 3rd, including the director Shinichiro Watanabe. The character Wen in Episode 6, Sympathy for the Devil, for which you wrote that saying his outfit is an homage to Lupin's green jacket outfit is pure speculation, is indeed an homage to Lupin. I would like for you to tell me how is it anything but? The green blazer, black shirt, and yellow tie ARE trademark Lupin. Both wear the green blazer, black shirt, and a yellow tie. If the director did not want it to be seen as an homage, he would not have designed it that way. It is what it is, and it is not being speculative. It's being realistic and recognizing sincere references between two great anime series. There are many other references to Lupin in Cowboy Bebop, but out of all of them, the one above is the most easily verifiable.

Replaceable fair use

The Dodge Charger (LX) police car image that you removed the replaceable fair use tag from was not an appropriate action to take. Fair use is only applicable on Wikipedia if the image is not capable of being reproduced, i.e. historical events. Think of it as: "can a free alternative of this image be made?" If the answer is "yes", the image can't be used under fair use, even if a free alternative is not available at the moment. Thanks. --tomf688 (talk - email) 02:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Message on my talk page

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Samurai_champloo. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. 72.150.232.221 11:16, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

USER NOTE: this should not count towards any future vandal strikes due to the fact the user who tagged me with this has, of this writing, only two verified edits on Wikipedia: to my talk page here and removing my tags in the article Samurai Champloo, and had posted this via an anonymouse IP address. Thank You. --293.xx.xxx.xx 11:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Inappropriate username.

Your username is unacceptable for wikipedia per Wikipedia:Username#Inappropriate_usernames.

Names that resemble an IP address, including "invalid" IP addresses (like xxx.xxx.xxx.xx.xx or xxx.xxx.xxx.xx. or a number which goes over the range, such as 256.889.72.0).

You must submit a name change request to Wikipedia:Changing username immediately or you will be blocked indefinately. If you don't respond I will make sure you have a link to your RFC so you can have your say in it.

Good luck, froth^{T C} 23:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry you feel that way. Your RFC can be found here but I'm afraid it's a textbook case, although I may be wrong. A simple name change would solve this. --froth^{T C} 09:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey -- just in case you never heard, the RFCN closed with a unanimous decision to allow. In case you ever need it, here's a diff of the closure: [1]. I'm sorry people are so aggravating about the username thing lately. Mangojuice^talk 14:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:TGCredits.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TGCredits.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. feydey 16:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:TopGear-Test-Track.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TopGear-Test-Track.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 48 hours after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ed g2s • talk 16:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Help Request

{helpme}

I think I might've done a little boo-boo concerning the previous message above. I clicked on the (rev) link assuming it'll send me to the previous saved page of my uploaded image, but instead I might've deleted the current image up for deletion. Can it be reverted back to the previous page that's up for deletion?--293.xx.xxx.xx 23:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I reverted your edit as requested. However, it may be that neither version satisfies Wikipedia's fair use criteria as it seems that a free map of the track could reasonably be created. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:Horseraces infobox

Your new Template is certainly a welcome addition but the setup makes it a little cumbersome to use. Take a look at Template:Thoroughbred racehorse infobox created by User:Galopin, or others in the Category:Infobox templates, to see how it is created with an easy to use template. They need to be made so that any line not filled in does not show up. And if I may, I'd suggest perhaps using "Inaugurated" instead of "First race". Thanks for the effort.Handicapper 14:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I attempted another box and had all kinds of problems, too. Try what I did and leave a message at User talk:Galopin. I'm sure he will help out. Handicapper 13:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at the infoboxes I have done for Sir Percy and Numbersixvalverde - they seem to work OK. Good luck!! Bcp67 08:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand your "Sunday Silence" comment? That article uses the Template:Thoroughbred racehorse infobox mentioned above that was created by User:Galopin. Handicapper 12:12, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

As I said, leave a message at User talk:Galopin with a link to the box(s). I'm sure he will help out. Handicapper 14:43, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

April 20th - I left a message for Galopin. Handicapper 16:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Galopin did the setup for your Template:Horseraces infobox. Check it out and if you like it as is, or have suggestions for changes, let him know on his talk page. You can see a sample of the finished product at Japan Cup. Thanx. Handicapper 13:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Handicapper has suggested I put some infoboxes on the English classics e.g. the Epsom Derby. Thanks for your work on these, and would you mind having a look when I've done. Bcp67 19:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Samurai Champloo references

What's up? I think the "cultural influences" articles will be hard to cite. There's likely to be little in the way of Wantanabe specifically stating "this is a parody of this," the lone example being his stating that Enter the Dragon and Zatoichi were influences on his work (and even this doesn't mention the specific influences found in Samurai Champloo). When artists put in artistic references to other artists, they will lots of the time do so subtely so that a reference is caught only by those paying attention. To spell it out all the time will lose its subtelty.

So, I'm curious as to what you think we should do. I could probably dig up cites showing, for instance, who Thomas Savini is and why it's likely that the "Sabini" zombie is a refernce to him. Or to "Hanzo the Razor" which makes it evident why "Manzo the Saw" is so similar. But these seem redundant given that each of the cultural references contain wikilinks where people can see for themselves and decide whether the reference is true or not. I don't think any of them are outlandish.

Someone recently changed the zombie reference to say "undoubtedly a reference." Before it said "possibly a reference," and I think as long as the language is tempered like this it should be OK. But let me know what you think. SpiderMMB 23:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, wait. You're essentially saying "cave into my demands or I'll start deleting." What is that? Did you look over what I read? I even offered to cite those for you but again, there is not likely to be any mention from the creators of "this is explicitly referencing this" because that would ruin the subtelty. So what exactly are you looking for in terms of a reference?

If you don't like the article the way it is, fine, but you have to be willing to work with me. I don't want this to turn into a childish revert war that will just ruin the article and not do anything for either of us. So again, what is it that you're looking for in way of references? SpiderMMB 23:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

You said "otherwise...I will get edit happy," even adding an ellipsis for dramatic effect. That seems to indicate you were going to delete them.

I read over the links you gave me. This section is relevant:

If a particular claim in an article lacks citation and is doubtful, consider placing {{fact}} after the sentence or removing the claim. Consider the following in deciding which action to take:

1. If it is doubtful but not harmful to the whole article, use the {{fact}} tag to ask for source verification, but remember to go back and remove the claim if no source is produced within a reasonable time.
   

The references in question are not that doubtful in my opinion, they are pretty obvious. At the very least, they are certainly not harmful. What are you looking for in the way of a citation? You haven't answered that yet and until you do I can't add appropriate cites. SpiderMMB 00:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

in danger of violating the three-revert rule on Lupin III. using TW

April 2007

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lupin III. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you. Real96 05:33, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Lupin III

I would say that adding the fact tag is different from the reverting but someone else might see it different. But I really don't like blocking for 3RR anyway because it stops the editors from discussing the problems. I usually protect the article. However, that does not mean you should go and revert then ask me to protect it. The best thing is to read through the article and then point out on the talk page the problems. If the problems are not addressed then a fact tag can be added later. As to the "That's not it for Lupin references in that show, however!" it really is not encyclopedic and should be re-written. But I suggest that you don't right now because anything could be seen as a violation of 3RR. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

It would to a certain extent. So I added to the talk page that I thought the line was bad and suggested an alternative. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I would like to point out, during the early edit, it was referred to as Vip[3], therefore I have not made that edit and was unaware of it, the only reason why I added the uppercased it, is for a common reason - it is a common abbreviation,

I only knew of the existence of that page as it was linked to the Wangan Midnight page, therefore like I tell you, I was unaware of any prior edit. This link will tell you who made that edit [4]. Willirennen 09:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, re: [5] - please don't issue vandalism warnings where user make mistaken but good faith edits. We are all suppose to working together to build an encyclopedia here and it helps if we're tolerant of each other's mistakes... WjBscribe 13:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

No, we issue warnings to vandals not regular contributors to the encyclopedia, that includes level 1 warnings. This isn't a point of discussion, I'm informing you that your warning was inappropriate. Please do not issue warnings (including level 1 warnings) for good faith edits to this project. If you have a concern about edits made by another contributor, discuss it with them - don't resort to templates. WjBscribe 17:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not saying he should not have know better, I'm saying the template in response to it was a bad idea. We don't use them to punish editors for mistaken good faith edits.

Lupin

Could you please explain how any of these are not properly sourced? It says the series and the episode number just like all the other ones. Do you hate Lupin that much? And by the way, if it really is "improperly sourced" as you say, why don't you help out buy properly sourcing it instead of just deleting it? Is it because you hate the show, in which case, why do you even bother editing the page?

Fair use rationale for Image:Ai-fukami-cover-blowup.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ai-fukami-cover-blowup.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 16:18, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
