Talk:Kannuki

Do not Merge
If you go to the page for Bushido Blade, you'll see that the is a link for all characters. Including Kannuki, my intention was to do it this was as it looks neater, so please don't redirect. MJN SEIFER 14:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your message on my talk page. "Independent sources" means sources where we can verify the content of the article, that were not published by the same company that makes the game. The reason I suggested a redirect is that Wikipedia is not a game guide, so if something can't be verified in sources that are independent of the game manufacturer, then it's not a good idea to put it in Wikipedia. Looking at Bushido Blade (video game), I see that many other characters also don't have their own page. Pan Dan 19:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I can honestly say that the article was purly in my own words from facts I knew. It's basically describing the character this has been done for other video games. Secondly I realize the characters don't have their own page yet but I will create thoes too. In fact I would like to thank you for motivating me to do so as I have been quite lazy recently. So far the only characters given pages are Kannuki and Mikado. But I will do the others. I will also try to make it more independent if need be. MJN SEIFER 19:57, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, creating the articles for the other characters isn't what I was hoping you would do :) .... Replying to your comment about character descriptions in other video game articles, that may be true, but we can only fix one article at a time on Wikipedia. In the long run, every article on Wikipedia must cite sources. This is so that people who read the articles can verify the information to see for themselves if it's really true. You might want to check out Wikipedia's policies on verifiability and original research. Also check out Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information for why a Wikipedia article must not be a game guide or a plot summary. (Just a note, I'll be leaving the computer soon, so I won't reply for a while if you reply to me.) Pan Dan 20:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I will still do thoes pages, but I will save them incase they arn't apropriate (If there not I'll put them on another side - maybe even my own if make one) I wiki isn't hasty with removing things it "doesn't like".

Also the best way to see if what I've put is true is to play the game It's all very well with most games because they have website after website about them. But Bushido blade has hardly any. That is actually why I added to wiki in the first place because if people wanted information on the game or it's characters they'd have a place to go.

Also, although I will read what you've given me (Not tonight I'm tired) I am quite wary about wiki's "Orignal Research" policy, while it can be good if used correctly I think it can sometimes be missused. There is actually an article in wiki about myself and I have been told not to edited because everything I say is "Original Research". MJN SEIFER 20:15, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You suggest that Wikipedia has a habit of removing things it "doesn't like." I hope you would reconsider this assessment. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it has rules to make sure that it stays an encyclopedia. We remove things that are not verifiable or that do not belong in an encyclopedia, but we (try) never to remove things just because we "don't like them." I put that in quotation marks because most Wikipedia editors don't like or dislike articles. For example, I don't like or dislike Bushido Blade, it's just that I'm concerned that Kannuki can't be properly sourced. Pan Dan 10:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I will have to see how things go, if I can source it I will. And I'll check what you gave me MJN SEIFER 14:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
