PlayStation Underground
Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. ShakingSpirit talk 18:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops. I was reverting this other user's vandalism and accidentally reverted to the wrong version. My bad! Axem Titanium 18:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries, thought it must have been something like that ^_^ ShakingSpirit talk  18:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

"Thirty-second"
Sometimes I amaze myself with my own stupidity.... For the record, I sincerely thought that "thirty-second" in the "Pride Land" section was vandalism stating the film was only thirty seconds long, as opposed to being the thirty-second animated Disney movie. I suppose I should take a break from staring at text all the time- silly things like this will be the end of me yet. -- Sarranduin (Talk) 03:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Minor characters
In the List of characters in the Kingdom Hearts series page, you eliminated several of the characters I added; yes they were barely in the games, but since this is an encyclopedia, would it be fine to keep them? Therequiembellishere 07:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I know wikipedia isn't meant for all information, but it kinda bugs me that only some characters on on the page, and there are more that are also minor still on it. Therequiembellishere 21:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

List of J-pop artists
I did some serious work to it, you may want to check it out. It mainly involved sumarry removal of red links and fixing naming convention errors. Just thought you might want to know. --Lim e tom 07:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Link
You're right, he's not a dog, he's a werewolf. If you check the banner you deleted, you'll see that the scope of the project was recently expanded to include all Canines, and in particular all articles contained in any of the subcategories of Category:Canines. This category already included the Category:Fictional werewolves, which contains this page. I won't try to restore the banner right away. However, I have to say in all honesty that, a few weeks or months from now, when either I or someone else goes through the category again, that that person will not restore the banner, unless the categorization is changed. Badbilltucker 18:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No one is claiming "jurisdiction" or anything like that. And, again, I was not the one who put the page in the Fictional werewolves category or that category in the Canines category, someone else did. Personally, I can't address how long the article has been there, as I only just started the classification of the other canines a few days ago. However, I would disagree with you about whether anyone would maintain it. One of the things on several of the articles is the requiring maintenance tab, which will hopefully draw an editors attention if it is used. Right now I am working on trying to tag many of the articles from the religion field, most of which have no tags despite having one or more interested Projects, so I personally probably won't be returning to Dogs for a few days. However, if the page is also added to the page Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs/Articles, then it will be monitored by any member of the project who wishes to do so, because of the inclusion on the project page of the recent changes function which brings up any changes in any of the articles on the article page. Also, the inclusion of a banner indicates to some parties where there is at least one project which is interested in their articles, thus allowing for potential collaboration, peer review, etc.. On your point regarding rethinking banners in general, you'd probably want to take that up with the WikiProject Council, who created the guidelines I used when placing the banners. Badbilltucker 22:08, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Nor was I inferring any "blame" from your comment. However, there is now also, mentioned on the Council's talk page, a bot available to check all the articles within a given category. There is also at least one member of the project, Keesiewonder, who seems to me has been checking up on all articles, given the number of messages from her I have received on recent changes in articles in the Canines category. Also, taking anything on a case-by-case basis, while reasonable, generally involves even more effort than trying to do anything once across the board, and raises the question as to whom would be the person qualified for making those individual decisions in a wide variety of cases. I am not disagreeing with you here, and hope that it is not taken like I am. I am simply pointing out the difficulties involved in doing as you suggest. Again, you are free to remove the banner from the article, and to even change the categorization, if you see fit. Also, I have no real objections to further changes in the banner, if that is what you think would be appropriate. However, if you wish to make changes in the way Projects in general operate, as stated before, you'd probably get the best response from the WikiProject Council, Kirill Lokshin in particular. My reason for saying this has nothing to do with the Dogs project per se, but the fact that at some point in the future I or someone else might add another banner from an applicable project to the article, which might start the whole conversation over again, probably with someone else. It would probably be easier, if one wanted to propose changes across the board, to go to the larger number of people involved in such activities right away, and thus avoiding the delays brought about by approaching what is basically a middle-man like me.

Link
Can you please explain this? Jhamez84 14:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree with your standpoint on this; the sentence clearly states that in [all] L. of Z. computer games, Link is left handed - this is not true, and the sentence I inserted is not only verifiable, but highly relevant to this section, as it points out that there is a notable exception to this.
 * To say that the section is talking about something unrelated is not a suitable reason also, as not only is this specific part of the section dealing with the left-hand topic, but is in it's present form, simply worded wrongly.
 * I intend to re-insert this as I don't think that you have justified why, to the wider community and readers of Wikipedia, the inclusion of this is not helpful to users. Jhamez84 18:44, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Sourcing of images
Noticed that several of the Ranma ½ are getting deleted due to lack of sourcing (this is a bot delete and legit, so this is not a complaint). Now, in the incarnation they are displayed currently I can't find the source (they are apparently off the laser disc versions which are way old on the net so I can't confirm), but I know most are in Viz Video's catalog as they are used on box arts for VHS tapes, but not quite the same (background changes, overlays for the box info and such). Now, can that be used as a source/copyright holder none the less, or does it have to be an exact source? Derekloffin 00:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi there! Thought you might be interested in WikiProject Notability. We're currently recruiting help to clear a massive backlog (5000+ articles), and we need your help! If you have a spare moment, please join and sort an article or tell your friends. Diez2 22:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Final Fantasy
My edits were no more especially detailed than what was already there and addressed some actual outright errors (such as the double "to the north" reference for Damcyan). Just because we're saying that it shouldn't be more detailed doesn't mean it's carved in stone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.42.16.135 (talk • contribs).
 * I agree with you. I will always forgive you. When you're right, you're right, like I said. I also found some errors in the articles as well. My edits were also more detailed on those sites. Like I said, I will do my best not to use vandalism or trivial stuff on Final Fantasy articles as well and I will make sure it doesn't clutter up the infobox :D. I am always here to help :D. No Worries about this :D.--Sjones23 03:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to add some important staff members and other information for Final Fantasy, but that was trivial and the infobox got cluttered up by accident when I added some more staff members and whoops, that was unnecessary information! My bad! Also, if I want to experiment to test my editing skills, I will experiment by using the Sandbox ^_^. I won't let you down, Axem Titanium, PresN and TKD, even if I use it. No Worries about that here ^_^. Thanks for the information and advice you gave me earlier, my friends ^_^. I do really like all of you and I am always nice to all of you ^_^.--Sjones23 03:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

2000 AD glossary
I notice you put this up for deletion. I actually posted on the talk page about the Wiktionary issue when it was first raised and I'd prefer it if this addressed there before starting any kind of deletion process. (Emperor 17:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC))

Battlefield 2142
Well, you did what I was veering to do...that is remove the useless section of the article, but I was sure that I wouldn't recieve any support for doing so. If anyone objects to the removal of it (which they shouldn't) I'll support you. --  William Pembroke  (talk) 15:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

List of films with similar themes and release dates AfD
Hi, you've expressed an opinion in the deletion discussion of this article. I've recently suggested a compromise in hopes of improving the article while keeping both sides happy, and would appreciate if you could revisit the issue. Thanks. --Wafulz 18:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Renaming of Toshio Suzuki (formula one) to Toshio Suzuki (driver)
Hi Axem. When you renamed that article (a move which I support, BTW), you broke the wikilinks in four other articles that linked to that one. Just a friendly reminder that when renaming an article, it's always a good idea to check "What links here" first, so you can update all the linked articles. Regards. DH85868993 02:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, you've been really busy keeping the Final Fantasy articles in good condiditon (in other words, keeping them from deteriorating too much). I'm very impressed and happy :) I think we're ready to really plan on driving that whole anticruft thing I laid down last month into gear, especially since I sill have a week off of college. &mdash; Deckill e r 03:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

FFXII voice cast
Why did you remove the cast list? That was a bit irritating to spend a good amount of time compiling and coding that, then having it removed with one fell swoop, especially without explanation. This is an encycopedia entry, and having the cast as part of the article is very logical. Good Lord, man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by judolphin (talk • contribs)
 * The Cast List was removed for a reason, according to what Axem Titanium said in the Final Fantasy XII's article history--Sjones23 19:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Edits to The Legend of Zelda (series)
Just letting you know that the reasons that I kept that version of The Legend of Zelda (series) are on the talk page for that article, in case you were concerned as to my reasoning. JONJONAUG 02:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Link Images from Super Smash Bros Series
I am sorry to dissapoint you but the images are not identical to the main series appearances. These images are 3D versions of link from the actual games. I simply put them on because I was comparing the differences between the two games. So please do not delete.Christani14

Caesarea, Israel
FYI, I have deleted Caesarea, Israel as per your db-move tag and moved Caesarea (Israel) to that name. --BigDT 22:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

The Legend of Zelda (series) - Virtual Console
Hi Axem Titanium,

The reason I added the Virtual Console to the chronology, is because I'd say in the basis it is a re-release just like the GameBoy Advance ones. It's availability on the Virtual Console I think is no different then the availability of it on a cartridge.

Cheers

User:Deckiller/Beasts of Final Fantasy
It's getting pretty close; all that's left is referencing and some prose cleanup, among other minor things. Do you have strategy guides for any of the Final Fantasies? We'll probably have to use those for some references. &mdash; Deckill e r 18:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay. As for Tiamat, I agree; however, I'm starting to think we should merge that "Four fiends" article into a subsection in this article. &mdash; Deckill e r 22:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, want to see what you can do with the Four Fiends merge? I'm watching the game, and I see you're still on. &mdash; Deckill e r 23:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting that started (it's halftime now). All we need now for that section is some name/concept origin information. &mdash; Deckill e r

AfD note
Thanks for drawing my attention to that AfD about comic book villains. This is not meant as an accusation by any means, but some editors might consider that "vote canvassing" and use it to poison the well of the AfD itself (I see this happen a lot.) You might want to be a bit more cautious about that in the future, or use more neutral language. Thanks!- Dmz5 *Edits**Talk* 03:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You know, I truly don't know how it works. I think that some editors might interpret your comment (something along the lines of "it would be ridiculous if this article survived") as non-neutral, as opposed to a simple "you might want to check out this AfD."  Regardless, I don't really know if there is firm opinion from the community about how to handle AfDs in general.  - Dmz5  *Edits**Talk* 02:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

FF redirects
Seems you nominated a bunch of Final Fantasy merge redirects as CSD R3. If there's a bunch of previous content (especially one that has been merged before), you really should take them to RfD or AfD instead. CSD R3 is really meant for "oops, I misspelled the title" kind of situations; we'll run into GFDL issues and potentially losing authorship information if we use it any other way. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 00:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

As for history merges - um, firstly, it'd add a huge burden on admins, and secondly, that'd create one heckball of confusing history on the articles. If you merge histories of two articles, you get an interleaved history: Pages A and B may end up like A version 1, B version 1, B version 2, A version 2, A version 3, etc... it completely messes up diffs and stuff. No, I'd not recommend it. The system was meant to work as it is, keeping the merged content in its original location. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 00:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * In essense, one of the main reasons we use redirects with merges is to preserve edit history per the GFDL. &mdash; Deckiller 10:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

story rewriting?
Hi, Axem, I wrote the story section in Vagrant Story. Not that there's any problem, but I hope you could see if it's okay? Because I was thinking of rewriting the Final Fantasy XII Story section. It's too long, I agree, and I wanted to put that Plot tag up but someone already beat me to it. Wish me luck. 私はBluerです 06:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, Axem, I would be honoured to help out with Bluerfn on the FFXII story section and all other articles that have the story. Since, it is too long, I need your help. You are one of my friends, and you are one of the helpers I can get on the FF articles as well. --Sjones23 20:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Axem. I was very excited in doing improvements to the two articles; both of them are my favorites. Glad it turned out well, as you said (the references i managed to scour from the net). And thanks for the pointers, I'll get on it soon. 私はBluerです 03:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

FFXII sockpuppets
A user with at least three sockpuppets is constantly re-adding redundant information to the settings section. Ironically, the recent sockpuppet added a source that was just an original research rationale! It's late, so I'm not in the mood to take it to checkuser quite yet. &mdash; Deckiller 07:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I've dealt with them before (sometimes by the dozens); they are just accounts created by users to cause disruption or try and forge a consensus, evade blocks, or evade 3RR. Kara Umi has done this several times before. &mdash; Deckiller 23:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The checkuser was performed a couple days ago. I blocked the socks and Kara Umi, so if it starts up again, all we have to do it block the obvious socks. &mdash; Deckiller 20:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

FFXII
I believe that that information came from IGN and its great number of Final fantasy XII articles, but I'm not sure which one. Are you going to help get this one to FA? Judgesurreal777 22:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Majora
I did point it to the correct header. As you can see, it was "Majora" when I made the redirect specific. - A Link to the Past (talk) 16:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Okay, see, the fact that it was changed and the redirect should have been fixed is of no importance to me. Are you implying that I should be capable of fixing something that I do not even realize is broken? Stop trying to create a fight about a non-issue just because you were mistaken. - A Link to the Past (talk) 16:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

FF8
Thanks for pulling out the good edits out of that "clarification" bunch; I was in a rush to go somewhere last night, so I did not have time to check which ones strengthened the wording, and that's probably why it came off as aggressive. &mdash; Deckiller 19:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Characters of Final Fantasy VIII
It's getting pretty close to GA status. However, since I mostly trimmed and incorporated old info from the FF8 characters section, I feel that someone from the outside needs to give it a look and weed out prose issues. Could you take a few minutes to do that? &mdash; Deckiller 02:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, the stuff you've copy-edited so far, with the exception of the last paragraph of the creation and influences section, were taken from the FF8 article before the FA push. Don't want you thinking I'm a "phony" word nerd. &mdash; Deckiller 01:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What a coincidence! I think we have similar thought patterns, and I completely agree. A couple hours ago, I started a sandbox at User:Deckiller/Music of Final Fantasy VIII :) It still needs a lot of work. &mdash; Deckiller 01:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Character copy-editing
Few suggestions from a fellow copy-editor: the kingdom hearts voice actors should remain, because a lot of these characters no longer have individual articles, so it's not very excessive. Also, some of the excess wording was added intentionally by me to avoid appearences of original research (such as the mirror image synthesis, which may be interpreted as OR by certain wikilawyer nazis). I'll go ahead and restore those instances, and give a followup copy-edit. Nice work on the whole. Sorry I asked you to do this; I have limited time until Sunday, so I only have 10-20 minute windows to work on Wikipedia. &mdash; Deckiller 03:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Intersted in joining the League of Copy-editors? It might be up your ally once you get some more time to work on the project. I was addicted to it for a couple weeks or so. Speaking of free time, I have to get going, but I'll probably be on once more before I head off to bed. Thanks again :) &mdash; Deckiller 04:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Hyphens and colons
I'm not extremely concerned with the issue, although I feel the colons are more professional and common. I also know that a lot of Japanese games include random hyphens around words or phrases (usually major definitions, such as the -Contact- from Xenogears), so that might be another case against it. Afterall, we are the English Wikipedia. Nevertheless, it's not a major concern to me, and I don't mind it to the extent that I'll devote significant time and energy into the debate. &mdash; Deckiller 22:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Most likely, because it helps clarify the title to our readers. When we look at the packaging, there is a clear line break, and it seems the hyphens are (or would be) used for stylistic reasons. It's mostly a clash of cultures issue, methinks. &mdash; Deckiller 22:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but I think this may be a situation where a slight deviation may not raise as many questions as no deviation. &mdash; Deckiller 22:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Tenses
I think I got most of them; those that remain are explained as being before the events of the game. &mdash; Deckiller 04:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, to be honest. Perhaps in that case, since it's a spinoff of DoC, we can omit the FF7 altogether? &mdash; Deckiller 21:46, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
