Something is wrong with the template. Its breaking pages. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angel_of_Darkness&oldid=272383922 to see what its doing. I can't see what's wrong though...-- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 00:42, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was my bad... When I turned it into a Infobox animanga/OVA wrapper, I left off one of the closing brackets. TheFarix fixed it since I've been away. Sorry about that... *sweatdrop* 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 17:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, my name is... Japanese
"こんにちは、私の名前はフィリップ・パットリアキアス. " may be a better version than "こんにちは、私の名前は愛馬", as that could also mean "Hello, my name is my favorite horse". Also, foreigners in Japan do not take names in Kanji anymore, usually using Katakana instead. (I'm not sure on the pronunciation of Patriakeas, but the one I typed above would be said as "Pat-Re:-a-Keass", with Keass being said like the Geass from Code Geass, but with a G instead of K.) 78.105.51.236 (talk) 23:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, much appreciated. I'm not 100% sure on the pronunciation of my last name, either, which is why I'm hoping a Greek speaking editor will notice and take pity on me. =) I just pronounce it "Pay-tree-uh-key-us" (approximately), which should come out in katakana as something along the lines of "Peituriaakyasu", if my grasp on romanization is strong enough. I've known for some time that my first name ends up being "Firippu"; that's fairly trivial. As for my name in kanji; I'm aware that most foreign names don't bother with it, but I can't help but be curious. Do you have any thoughts on how that might be better phrased (or superior kanji to the ones I chose), then? (and what would that come out as being, phonetically?) Ultimately, I'd like to see my name in kanji and both kana scripts, and romanized back from them where appropriate, so anything you might be willing to do there would be awesome. ^_^ 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 23:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, unfortunately I don't know enough about Japanese to help with much Kanji =( You'd probably have to find someone who knows more about adopted Kanji names... 愛馬 is romanised "aiba", if you're interested, and would be approximated something like "Eye-bah" The sentence you had would be represented in Wikipedia's nihongo template as something like こんにちは、私の名前は愛馬 (Kon'nichi wa, Watashi no Namae wa Aiba). For kanji, there is another systems you could try as well, if a translation of the ideas of the word proves too difficult, possibly something like Ateji, where the pronunciation of the word, for example "Firippu", is matched against kanji read as the syllables "fi" "ri" "ppu", although it may be hard to find a kanji for "fi", as that syllable wasn't used until the adoption of Katakana. The kanji in ateji can also be picked for their seperate meanings. -BLEACH- uses a lot of Ateji, if you look at the attacks of the Espada you may get a better grasp of Ateji than I'm explaining... "ペィトリアーキャス" would fit with "Pay-tree-uh-key-us", using that "フィリップ・ペィトリアーキャス" would seem good as a katakana equivalent. Also, I noticed your American Shonen Jump chapters and arcs page, if you wouldn't mind, I have some issues I could possibly add to that. 78.105.51.236 (talk) 23:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I happen to know a professional translator who's an editor on here, and if I feel like playing with fire, I might see if I can poke him into offering his opinion... *evil smile* I'm aware of the ateji system (that is, translating phonetically; I wasn't aware it had a name until you pointed it out =) ), but I couldn't even begin to try and do something with my name based on that. As for the SJ chapters, feel free, I have lots more back issues myself, but I'm pretty lazy about adding them. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, that's a lot of issues... I have nothing before late 2007. I hope you have luck with finding a Japanese translation of your name. Also, looking at X, it appears to be worse than Red River; there are /no/ splash pages to note... Magic Knight Rayearth is the same way. Here is my account, I finally remembered the password ^.^ Akata (talk) 20:58, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, I do have a lot of issues... *cackles at entirely intentional pun* As for X and MKR... yikes, I think, is all I can say. I'm not even sure a chapter list would be possible in either case, but I'd have to actually look at the volumes to be sure. I don't think I can get ahold of MKR, but now that I know that X == X/1999, I should be able to request a few volumes and see the situation for myself. BTW, if you don't mind tying your user account to your underlying IP address (much like I obviously don't), you may want to cross-link them in some way. BTW, does "Akata" mean anything in particular? 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 21:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * BTW, you may also be interested in looking through my other chapter list sandboxes. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 21:12, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't mind tying the two together, just wouldn't know how to do it. Also, it seems that I have none of the manga listed in either of those lists... (I want to get Shirahime-syo though) I do have some Japanese volumes of Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh! and most CLAMP stuff. Not really, it's a sort of psuedo-Japanese anagram of something in a story I've been trying to plan though Akata (talk) 21:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be as simple as adding a note to the effect of "I sometimes edit while logged out under the IP address " or "I have a user account with the name " (tweak to personal taste). I've noticed you have a lot of Clamp's stuff, a big fan, eh? *grin* As for Shaman King, if you care to contribute over here, then, that'd be cool. And for my sandboxes, feel free to start new sections for any series you feel like, they're completely open for others to edit or reuse as they see fit. =) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 21:52, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Aria manga spin-out act 2 or so
Hi,

As the only other editor (or it seems so) aside of Quasirandom interested in Aria (manga) spin-out, i wish your input about the next phase of the spin-out process. You can even say don't start it yet ;) it's here Talk:Aria_(manga). Thanks --KrebMarkt 20:31, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey KrebMarkt. Unfortunately, I don't have any type of experience or knowledge when it comes to soundtracks (and I understand that soundtrack lists are largely untested waters for anyone, but even just soundtrack/music sections on articles are outside my typical focus). I'd love to be ale to help, but I frankly don't see what help I could be for it, beyond giving some nice, generic advice that any other reasonably experienced editor could offer. =/ 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support. At least i can count on you if i start to write crappy English :) I believe, i have enough materials and references to bring it to C Class but the near level 0 of RS English anime OST review preclude any B Class upgrade unless you can count Chart ranking as reception materials. --KrebMarkt 20:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe chart rankings could be considered reception, but it would probably still need specific reception or something. In any case, it'll be quite interesting to see what you can ultimately do for this, and what type of standards or guidelines might ultimately be derived from all your hard work. =) Don't worry about your grammar too much, just focus on getting your meaning across and other editors (myself if I have to) will come in behind and wrangle the grammar in line as necessary. ;) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Template assistance?
Hey...I was trying to update Template:TAMU College Infobox to hide fields that are blank (because this just looks bad) and to add a caption to the image field. I'm guessing I didn't quite get it right, though, as it came out all messed up. I was wondering if you could make take a peek to see if you can see where I went wrong? -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Eww... I'm leery of using pure wikimarkup in templates such as infoboxes, since it results in needing to use the ! family to escape the markup so that parserfunctions work properly. I'll see about converting the infobox to use an HTML table, which should also greatly simplify making future edits/expansions, since then you won't need to worry about escaping markup. (and BTW, you also forgot a pipe character in your first ... that's as far as I looked, though) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 19:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅, how's it look now (and BTW, isn't there a generic Infobox College or something it can be merged to)? =) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 19:28, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You rock! Looks great (and that's fine on the conversion...it seems to have been done ages ago then mostly forgotten). Only minor thing is the image field is still showing even if there is no image, so it has a strangle little mark sitting there. (its called ditzy me forgot to fill in the name LOL) I looked for some others but didn't see any for colleges of universities (as opposed to standalone colleges like Infobox College ). I'm guessing there isn't one because, in general, most colleges within a university don't tend to be notable. Not entirely sure COALs is either...can't seem to find a lot about it in third-party sources. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:34, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm... I think it wouldn't hurt to look around and see if there're any other infoboxes for uni colleges, then, and see about merging them into a generic version - not sure about the name, though, since I don't do work on college/uni articles (either that, or add some specific parameters to ). 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 19:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Off Beat article name
Regarding your move, I'm not sure I follow your logic "actually, the disambiguator is unnecessary anyways"; there are other articles named "Off Beat"; Off Beat (film), Off Beat (label); are you sure the comic deserves WP:primary topic status? Also, there is risk of confusion between Off Beat, off beat, OffBeat, Off-beat and offbeat, which suggests a disambiguator may be appropriate. I would appreciate you clarifying your thinking on this. Thanks, --Rogerb67 (talk) 23:34, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I performed that particular rename in the midst of a slew of other article moves, so I didn't look into/think about it that much before I did it. Now that I do, though, it would make far more sense for Off Beat (that particular name, not the article itself) to redirect to the disambiguation page. As for the comic series, I'd prefer to look at a volume to confirm, but it seems (based on the lead and the cover image) that the series' official title is actually "Off*beat" or "Off*Beat". In any case, feel free to revert my move and redirect Off Beat to the dabpage, as should have been done quite some time ago IMHO. --Dinoguy1000 as 66.116.12.126 (talk) 01:30, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem; moves can always be undone. Actually I moved the page from the title Off*beat due to MOS:TM; the asterisk is decoration in a trademark and so should not be used in article titles and in most cases in the article text, similarly to Macy's. I'll move it back to Off Beat (comic) (I wasn't aware of the distinction for English language manga) and point Off Beat to the disambiguation page. Cheers. --Rogerb67 (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, cool. As for the distinction, it's important to keep in mind that "manga" is used specifically to refer to most Japanese comics (it's possible for a Japanese comic to *just* be a comic and not manga, but I guess that's really just splitting hairs ;) ). Comic series written in the U.S. (and France, and Germany) are never manga series, even if they're influenced by manga - and they aren't always, either (I'm aware of at least one series where the author specifically stated they were influenced by manhua, not manga; and most of T-Pop's OEL manga is just American comics with a "manga" label slapped on them). 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 17:35, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Right, that makes sense. I don't have particularly deep knowledge in this area; I was just following what it said in the lead of the article when I made the rename. I'll bear your comments in mind in future. --Rogerb67 (talk) 14:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Linking in navboxes...
You reverted my edition of the Robotech template. Can you explain me why I can't link to an article section in the template? Afaik, linking to sections in articles is allowed if is useful for having a better and more descriptive section linked, in this case the Robotech characters... Kronnang Dunn (talk) 09:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * In general, navboxes are used for interarticle navigation. When you have a section link in a navbox, you are either duplicating another link (or multiple links, if the navbox is needing serious cleanup), or you are claiming that only the linked section and subsections of the article are relevant to the subject being covered in the navbox. Neither of these are desirable, and in the specific case of characters, project consensus is that they should only be linked if they have their own articles, otherwise a link to the character list(s) suffice. There could be circumstances where a section link is warranted, but these would have to be judged on a case-by-case basis. If you'd like some further reading on navbox styles and a chance to offer your input, look through WT:ANIME/CLEANUP. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 17:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Author & illustrator
Repsonding to your comment in Templates for deletion/Log/2009 February 27 here, since the discussion has been closed: Writer and illustrator are considered collaborating creators/co-authors for most illustrated narrative print media, be they children's picture books or manga. (In fact, in North America, the illustrator of a picture book almost always gets paid more than the writer.) Note how, in the manga infobox, there are author & illustrator fields, of equal weight. Thus my comment that the co-author (meaning illustrator) was missing. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:27, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Aah, that makes sense. That whole part of the navboxes needs reconsidered IMHO anyways; for anime series we don't mention the animation studios - a bit of disjoint there, no? 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 16:51, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

This edit refers.

Since the third!? Ouch.

I quite busy at work the last month or so, having almost no time to edit on my PC (though I still scan through my watchlist daily on my phone, but I cannot edit/reply on it; roleback barely works), or having internet connectivity problems. (This might also have something to do with it.)

You can put in a request at WP:AWB/Tasks in the meanwhile, as I do not currently have an idea when I will have a lot of time to edit again.

List of xxxHolic characters
While I agree with your statement about Watanuki, the order of precedence that he is the main focus rather than Yuko may still need verification from a secondary source if someone contests it, which they have. じん ない  00:56, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Meh... to tell the truth, I'm not terribly interested in arguing on a character list (or finding a source for it; I'm no good at sourcing stuff like that). IIRC, I read something about the series recently focusing on Ichihara for one reason or another; maybe that's what the people are driving at. I don't have access to the series (got to read volume 1 a while ago (and Watanuki is definitely its focus; Ichihara takes more of a mentor role IMHO), then it promptly got lost in the library system =P ), so I don't know what's going on other than second-hand accounts (reviews and summaries, which I usually don't read anyways). 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 16:44, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Collectonian may be able to give some sound advice and maybe a little help, though.

In the meantime, though, it needs to be reformatted with Graphic novel list; I can help with this if you'd like. Sorry I couldn't be more help! 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 17:26, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Help
I created a wiki site but I'm having a lot of trouble making my main page (see pop-cult.net) look good.

I noticed you're quite an expert with box alignment, so I figure you might be able to help me solve my problem.

The "totem" box is supposed to go on the right and the "scope" and "featured article" boxes are supposed to be on the left. The width of the left boxes should change according to the size of the sreen of the users, some wide and some narrow. However, in my laptop it looks ok, but in my desktop the left boxes appear below the right box.

Do you know how to fix it?? if not, do you know anybody that knows? --20-dude (talk) 00:31, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi 20-dude, I looked at your wiki last night and it was there, but when I tried to just now (and then tried to look at just http://www.pop-cult.net/), I got a 404 Not Found error. In any case, the easiest solution to that problem would be to use one large table to contain all the individual boxes, probably with just two cells in the same row. There are probably more elegant ways to do it (with CSS), but I've never really taken the time to play with tables (or divs) to that degree. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

TI 89 titanium question
When I try to download a program from my PC to the computer, it always saves it as an EXPR on the calculator. This is even when I just modify a PRGM program on my PC, and then send the modified program back to the calc.

So, I'm just asking you for a little help. How can I convert a EXPR data type on my TI-89 to a PRGM or TEXT data type on my calc, or better yet, just have the calculator recognize the download as a program in the first place?

Any help would be nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.144.245 (talk) 20:02, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello, 68.40.144.245, unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to play around with the TI-89 Titanium's Graph-Link capabilities, so I honestly have no idea how you might resolve your transfer problems. You may want to poke around http://www.ticalc.org/, there's lots of information there and a set of forums where you can get assistance. As for converting EXPR variables to PRGM, FUNC, or TEXT data types, there's probably some assembly program out there that could do it automatically, but I believe (it's been some time since I really played much with it) you could simply copy the contents of the EXPR variable and paste it into a new PRGM or TEXT document. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:07, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Temporary injunction and your use of my monobook script
Hi Dinoguy1000,

I am pleased to see that you have adopted my monobook script; I hope you've found it useful.

This is to let you know that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.

Regards Lightmouse (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Lightmouse, thanks for the notice. I'm aware of the injunction, but don't perform "mass" delinking (I use the script only sparingly, really...). As for the RFC, I've already voted on it on the matter of autoformatting; linking, as far as I'm concerned, shouldn't be used 99% of the time, but I never edit on articles which would invoke that other 1%, and frankly, I could care less about the whole dramafest. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 21:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome. You are right, this should have been sorted out a long time ago. Lightmouse (talk) 21:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Request from NewB
Hello I am new to Wikipedia contribution, and was hoping you could spare a couple of minutes to shed some light on something. Under Talk:List of Naruto episodes you replied to a posting by 71.74.66.92 at 04:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC) concerning filler list. Is the concensus opinion on this matter derived from some Wikipedia priciple of which I am unaware or was it more closely related to limits of the scope of the article. I have not got an opinion on the 'filler' subject either way, but am only concerned with whether there are some of subtelties of abstraced Wikipedia forms that I am missing out on. I would also be interested to hear your opinion on my talk posting against the same article concerning Benefits of addition or clarification of 'plot-wise' chronology?, particulalry if the same prciples would apply to this subject. Anthony.L 12:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Awrl100 (talk • contribs)
 * Actually, it has a lot to do with verifiability. Fillers aren't nearly as clear-cut as many fans would like to believe, and even amongst fans, there's a lot of disagreement as to what exactly is and isn't filler. Because of this, WP:ANIME has taken the position of not mentioning which episodes could be filler episodes without a reliable source first expressly stating "episodes X, Y, Z, and A through F are fillers" (in which case we'd probably say something like "this source says these episodes are filler episodes"). I saw your own comment, but didn't read through it. However, if I got the gist of it from what skimming I did, you're asking about mentioning where in the continuity the OVAs would fit in? This is similar to indicating fillers. Except, in this case, it would be purely original research, since the OVAs, by their nature, do not fit cleanly into the continuity - you can only accurately give approximate time periods where they would fit in. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

As for a mentor I don't think I would be worth their effort; my passion is more for the 'end' as opposed to the 'means' (as the passion finds me). I expected that the problem with continuity was its dependance on subjective interpretation, as for orginial reasearch I do not have first hand access to a large enough source of original material; I will explore having it deleted from the talk page, I gather there is a procedure for this, again many thanks DinoGuy1000 for you time.Anthony.L 12:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Awrl100 (talk • contribs)

prods
Log in when editing the deletion page! :P

Are prods usually just marked as keep? I've seen both tbh Dandy Sephy (talk) 10:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * "Keep" is misleading IMHO, since half the time, the prod is removed by the article creator or certain inclusionists who deprodded anything and everything for no reason at all. It wasn't "kept" by consensus or the like as with AfD, it was simply deprodded. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 13:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I would actually agree with you here, Collectonian, but IMHO "deprodded" sounds too much like "deleted" - both "kept" and "deprodded" have connotations which prevent them from being the optimal term to use, but I have yet to hear a better one. Until then, I use "kept" because it's succinct and doesn't sound like any of the other terms used for the outcome of a prod. Look at the deletion archive, all the articles listed there are noted as being "kept", "deleted", "merged"/"redirected", or "relisted". As for logging in... well, I would, if I had a better computer at home. =) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 16:34, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Kururu Reverts
Why was the kururu article page that I reverted back to the character kururu in the anime Keroro being classified as vandalism and reverted back? the old Kururu page has MUCH more info on Kuru than the now centralized version; at least can you copy and paste the old Kururu page into the centralized version of characters? Messiisking (talk) 22:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Because you did this with a disambiguation page. You did not have consensus to turn the dabpage back into a character article (whereas the original merging of said character had project consensus), and it was completely inappropriate. If you feel there was some content on the original page that should have been merged, you are more than welcome to merge it from the page's history, but you should not reverse a valid merge, overwriting a valid dabpage in the process, without first getting consensus for your actions. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 16:50, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Chronicles of the Cursed Sword
Ah yes, I agree that manga and manhwa has different qualities to them in the United States. However, it should be noted that manga-style manhwa would result in comic-style comic.

FullWidth replacer
Hi! I saw that you used CodeFixer to develop this... would you be interested in my just adding all of the functions into CodeFixer itself, rather than using two separate scripts? I don't really mind either way, but I just think that it would make more sense to have them together (or, alternatively, and if you're OK with it, I could just add your replaces into CodeFixer and FullWidth replacer could be kept separate, also, for users who don't necessarily want the whole thing). Thoughts? –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 13:32, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Drilnoth, I've thought about combining FullwidthReplacer's functionality with that of other scripts (specifically with Advisor.js), but the fact is that what it does is just too different. You have to be careful when using FullwidthReplacer because it will occasionally replace characters that should not be replaced (for instance, replacing the ellipsis in …But, I'm Your Teacher with three full stops, thus ending up with ...But, I'm Your Teacher (a redirect). It's probably best to keep this script separate from others for that reason. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 17:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay; I'll just add a link to it from CodeFixer since it does a similar thing. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:02, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. =) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:24, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just thought of something else. I could tweak CodeFixer so that users using that could configure their monobook.js so that clicking the single CodeFixer button would also run your script. It would run off of both scripts, rather than copying code from one to the other (that is to say, they'd need to import your script in addition to mine, and changes to your script would take effect), but it would be an option so that people who want both could just use one button. If you'd like, I could also tweak the edit summary when this is done to also link to your script. It doesn't really matter to me either way, just thought I'd ask. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 19:13, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me, if you want to do it. =) Just be sure the documentation is clear that my script is not a general cleanup script, but rather a much more specialized-use one that requires extra care. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:13, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay; thanks for the note. I'll probably work on the code to do this in another week or so and I'll let you know when I'm done so that you can look over the documentation and use. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 20:20, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool, no problem. I've also added CodeFixer and its /doc page to my watchlist (and tweaked the "see-also" to my own script), so I'll probably know about the addition when it happens. In the meantime, if you find you have a bit of spare time, feel free to port over any improvements from your script to my own. ;) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. If the changes wouldn't cause any change in function (just code simplifications), should I just go ahead and make them or would you like me to ask first? I already have a few ideas for code simplification to try on mine which, if they work, could be used on yours without changing the actual functioning of the script. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 20:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, go for it. My own script isn't very widely used (there really aren't many opportunities to use it unless you specifically spend a large amount of time on articles which use CJK characters, such as anime and manga series/related articles), so it's highly unlikely that your breaking it temporarily will actually affect anyone. If you make or are thinking of making any changes that are too major, though, I'd appreciate a note/warning first, though. ;) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry... I'd let you know before anything really major. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 21:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, cool. If you feel like it, you can also have a look at my other scripts and see about further improvements to them. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 22:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks. FYI, though, when I make a request that a series be looked at for its own article, I'd like you not to put any additional weight to the request just because I made it (given how you went ahead and created this one, and two former redlinks from List of manga series by volume count also at my request, even though none of them really have quite enough to support an article yet, it just seems like for some reason you're putting more emphasis on my requests; if this isn't actually the case, feel free to correct me ;) ). 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 02:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * That's cool, I just wanted to be sure. ;) That's all the series I have to request at the moment (unless you want to look at the Gundam redlink on my manga list, the redlinked manhwa there for a bit of a change of pace, or the three redlinks on my anime list). 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 03:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Sure, I suppose. While you're at it, do you think you could backport some of the improvements to the standalone version for me? 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 16:29, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

 * No problem. ;) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 16:32, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Module created at AutoEd/fullwidth.js; once I've finished writing up the documentation on customization, you should be able to use the core AutoEd functions to run your script, rather than having it as a fully separate thing, if you'd like. That way updates to the script's structure would also be added automatically for the replacer. Does that sound good? –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 16:42, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, sounds great. It'll be interesting to see it after you're done. ^_^ 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 16:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Patriakeas
I dont know the origin of your surname, but I think you're right that it's likely a respelled Πατριαρχεας. The name seems to exist in greece; e.g. see el:Γιώργος Πατριαρχέας. The spelling with k would probably be Πατριακέας in Greek, which is unusual because in Greek κ and χ are as different as p and f are in English and would not likely arise as a simple random variant of a name. However, misspellings and mutations of foreign names by immigration authroities are not unknown in America, see for example Rachael Scdoris, descended from people named Sedoris, the Polish surname Ywuc, which appears only in America and has no European equivalent, and Bigonia which was made up by an early Irish immigrant who didn't like his original last name. As for the meaning, I believe it probably means "of the patriarch" and thus is somewhat like the English name Pope. --- Soap Talk/Contributions 19:08, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I noted several Google search results of Πατριαρχεας (with and without diacritics). I thought the "χ" being transliterated as "k" was odd when I first noticed it, but didn't really think anything of it. In retrospect, though, you're probably right that it was simply a misspelling. As for the meaning, |en|%CE%A0%CE%B1%CF%84%CF%81%CE%B9%CE%B1%CF%81%CF%87%CE%B5%CE%B1 Google Translate says that it translates to "patriarchy" in English, which would fit quite closely to "of the patriarch". I'd still appreciate pointers on correct pronunciation, though, it's something that has bugged me for years. =) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 17:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm of Greek descent but have very little knowledge of the language. My advice would be to just keep pronouncing the name as you've been brought up to, as often times Greek surnames come from dialects for which the pronunciation rules you find on Wikipedia or other sites will not necessarily apply.  Soap Talk/Contributions 22:31, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Aah, thanks for the tip (although I wasn't really "brought up" to pronounce it any given way; you could probably say that I "fell into" a particular pronunciation). 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 22:33, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

However, AFAIK, this hasn't been discussed with WP:ANIME before, and it may indeed be something we don't want to do.

Forcing titles in Infobox animanga
I personally think it is a very bad idea to force titles to display and default to PAGENAME in the infobox components with the way the titles are currently handled by the components. It is also a bit redundant as it repeats in information already in the infobox's title. --Farix (Talk) 20:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Why doesn't the current handling of the titles work with forcing PAGENAME display by default, and how would it have to change? Are you referring to instances where the page name includes a disambiguater? I personally don't think it's really that big of a deal; it's trivial to fix these cases as they are found, and the disambiguator being displayed in the meantime shouldn't really be a problem.
 * As to the redundancy, I think it's a necessary evil - there has been a great deal of confusion, especially among new users, when the title is not explicitly associated with a given component - especially when that component follows another one with a different title. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 02:57, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * When titles are long, the display of those titles along with "Manga:" or "TV anime:" begin to look pretty atrocious. Example are Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!! and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. That is why in my redesign of the infobox components, I separated the title field from the component's title and put it its own cell. As for displaying redundant information, I think you should seek wider opinion before reintroducing it into the components. --Farix (Talk) 18:03, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I hadn't thought of the appearance of long titles; that's a pretty good point (though I'm not sure we should be allowing aesthetics to override usability). Separating the title into its own cell looks pretty good. And i definitely wouldn't be opposed to a discussion on this, but I'm holding off on it (and a few other discussions) until the current overhaul discussion is resolved. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Gundam 00
Why do you keep erasing the article link for the first episode? You don't give any reasons in the history page of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegitibles (talk • contribs) 21:46, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I did - both times, I redirected the episode article back to the list. Because of this, clicking the link on the list would merely lead back to the list, which is something we definitely don't want. Also, just so you know, there is no evidence that the episode in question has notability independent of the rest of the series, and therefore it should not have its own article - being the first episode of the series does not confer any notability, before you ask. 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 03:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Sora Kake Girl vandalism
Hello Dinoguy. You reported this at AIV? I have blocked 121.185.26.0/24 for three weeks. Hope that slows things down. EdJohnston (talk) 16:52, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Template:Ann anime
First, congratulations on being granted the mop. Now that you have it, can you look over my edit request over at ann anime? --Farix (Talk) 18:07, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * has been on my watchlist for a long time, so I saw your original request and the pursuant discussion. Personally, I'm ambivalent on the addition - I wouldn't be against it, but I'm not sure about editing the template just for that purpose. Is there any reason it can't be added to the /doc subpage? 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 18:12, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Your to do list + List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure chapters
Yo,

You can stroke from your to do list:
 * List of Air Gear chapters
 * List of Dragon Half chapters
 * List of Gin Tama chapters

You should get a look to Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Chapters list as we are discussing a technical split due too many templates used in article. The wikipedia engine simply discard the excess of template not applying/executing them. --KrebMarkt 21:22, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up; I'll have a look at those lists after a bit (since I do a number of different things with chapter lists, there may be some other work on them for me =) ). I've also always intended to split the JJBA list (and the Kochikame list); I merely intended to wait after the initial reformatting/sourcing was done (and I planned to hijack the individual arc pages for that purpose, too). I've been aware of the template transclude size being exceeded for some time; it's not too surprising. =) (And before I forget, please don't hesitate to update my to-do list yourself; just like all of the other pages in my userspace (except the CSS and JS files and my lockbox, which are all protected), I allow anyone to edit it ;) ) 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 01:44, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The original series is now complete; I'll try to get Stone Ocean and the ???? bits in Steel Ball Run looked at this weekend, while it's on my mind. We did split those latter too off onto the individual series pages, but they both need a bunch of work, and we need to figure out what we want to do with the first five parts. Doceirias (talk) 02:50, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * All right. I'm still pretty far down my watchlist; I'll have a look at all the work you guys have done so far and see if there's anything I can immediately contribute when I get to it. =) ···「ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? Talk to Dinoguy1000 03:10, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

You broke Infobox Actor
Despite a warning to the contrary, in the documentation, this edit removed  and , thereby breaking the template's hCard microformat. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 23:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * As my edit summary states there, I was fulfilling an editprotected request when I made that edit, and, in so doing, copied the exact contents of the sandbox. I wasn't aware of the removal of the class names this caused, and if you can provide a new sandbox version that fixes this, I will happily update the template with the fixed code for you. =) -- as 66.116.12.126 (talk) 00:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Fullwidth Replacer for AWB
Just to let you know that I took your script and adapted it into an AWB module. So far it seems to work without any problems, but I haven't extensively tested it yet. --Farix (Talk) 19:23, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool. You made sure to check its behavior on links and URLs, right? The equivalent AutoEd module had to be removed from all the preset configurations, because it was changing characters in interwikis. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 19:27, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's one of the areas that needs to be tested against. Know of a good candidate? --Farix (Talk) 19:31, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * André Darrigade (per the discussion where the problem was pointed out), at least for interwikis. I don't know any offhand for straight internal links or URLs. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 19:35, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It left that instance alone, which is perfect. The only change AWB wanted to make was remove the stub tag. BTW, you seem to be missing an extra  in your sig. --Farix (Talk) 19:47, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, that's good. I'm not familiar with how AWB operates, so I didn't know if that would be a problem. I'd still keep an eye on internal and external links until you find a specific testcase, though. As for my sig, that's intentional - I'm relying very heavily on HTML Tidy so that I can reduce the number of characters in my sig (unfortunately, it's still longer than 255 chars ATM, but I'm working on it).

Some help with titles needed in List of Shaman King chapters
I added romanji titles to volumes from List of Shaman King chapters, but I think they need some fixes. Could you check them? By the way, do you the Viz volumes from Shaman King? I remember that you had a section with all the volumes you have, but I cannot find it. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 20:25, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't know any Japanese, and my knowledge of romanization is probably not much better than your own. User:Doceirias may be able to help you, though.
 * As for me owning the series... I don't have any volumes (and indeed have only read volume 1 since 2 isn't available from any of the libraries in the RPLS system), but I have many of the chapter titles from Shonen Jump listed at User:Dinoguy1000/Shonen Jump story arcs (yeah, I haven't added any in forever). 「ダイノ ガイ 千 ？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Should List of Shaman King chapters also be splitted in two sections? I dont mean making more articles, I mean the same you did with the InuYasha and Bleach lists.Tintor2 (talk) 21:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's only 32 volumes long; I don't see any pressing need for splitting it into sections. However, there aren't any hard rules for this type of thing, and others may feel differently, so maybe you'd like to start a discussion on the list's talk page?

Thanks for the help with the Reborn! seasons. I could moved season 4 to five, but I cannot move season 3 to 4. Could you check it?Tintor2 (talk) 01:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I got it for you. Keep in mind that you can move pages over redirects as long as the redirect only has one edit in its history (its creation); this means that when you're doing complex group moves like the Reborn! season sublists, you shouldn't edit any redirects until all the moves have been completed. Also, for future requests, including some links would be helpful for me. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 02:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion
Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to List of Hot Gimmick chapters.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both  and one or more   referring to it. Someone then removed the  but left the , which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining  with a copy of the  ; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!
