Re: FF
To clarify what I meant by "primary source" in that wall of text I tossed at you was that was the main secondary source I was using in the article and that person's credentials as to why he should be considered reliable. The only primary source (by wikipedia's definition) being cited is the game's manual, considering the game's text outside of a translation patch is Chinese. The chances of any mainstream sources covering it (and mind you that was after searching like hell) after this point is slim to none. It had a flash in the pan, it had sources, and it's different enough from the base game even in terms of plot points to warrant it's own article. You want to take it to AfD from here there's not a whole hell of a lot I can do to stop you other than voice opposition.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Jinnai- I feel that almost all of Kung Fu Man's rationales for the sources are pretty sound. No, they are not what I would consider the best possible sources I would want to use to write an article (I prefer to stick to IGN, GameSpot, and printed sources), but they pass WP:RS in my opinion. Some further details.
 * Derrick Sobodash- has written for The Oakland Press and Beijing Today newspapers. As Kung Fu Man pointed out, he's also written for PiQ,
 * Joel Johnson- In addition to being a past regular contributor for Gizmodo and the related Gawker media sites, he's written for Wired.com and Slate and also been on AT&T Tech Channel's Hugh Thompson Show.
 * Luke Plunkett- He is an established editor on Kotaku and is listed as their Associate Editor for Oceania. His Kotaku posts also appear on the other Gawker.com sites.
 * Brandon Sheffield- In addition being the editor in chief of Game Developer and senior editor of Gamasutra, Edge listed him as one of Gaming's Top 50 Journalist and he has even assisted with a video game script.
 * Kyle Orland- A published video game author. In addition to being a Joystiq writter, he's written for The Escapist and GameDaily.com Other credits include Next Generation Magazine, National Public Radio, GameSpot, and Electronic Gaming Monthly.
 * GPara.com- Been cited by several other reliable sources as a source of Japanese video game news. Wired.com has cited them: . IGN's Anoop Gantayat has cited it in his IGN Blog several times and it has been cited in other IGN articles as well . GameSpot too.
 * Gameworld Network- Didn't find much on them. The author has written extensively on the website and done an article for UGO.com as well. I'd say this one is a toss up because they are part of the UGO Network. I'll defer to the consensus of others.
 * TheTanooki.com- I couldn't find anything reliable about this site or the article's author. It is probably not suitable to use.
 * NESDev- Couldn't find much on this site either. I'd recommend against it.
 * Excluding a few dubious sources (definitely TheTanooki and NESDev), I'd say the article meets WP:V and WP:N. It also looks like the removal of the content sourced from the dubious sources wouldn't significantly impact the quality of the content. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC))
 * I hope my post didn't offend you, as I wasn't trying to excessively push a particular point. You were well within your rights to question the sources, some of which actually are not suitable. (I normally avoid using such sources because constantly defending them is nerve racking.) I simply thought providing some evidence to the reliability of the good sources would quickly bring an end to the Final Fantasy VII (Famicom) debate.
 * As far as tabling the discussion, that's your call. Even if not everyone agrees with it, I believe such discussions tend to shake things up for the better. For instance, I probably never would have worked on Super Mario 64 DS if New Age Retro Hippie hadn't merged it into Super Mario 64 for similar reasons you brought up at WT:VG. If Final Fantasy IV (Nintendo DS) isn't up to standards, then maybe it should be merged. Maybe that will prod someone into giving it enough attention to make it a proper article. I suspect it could become a good article, but you're correct that it doesn't offer much in its current form. Besides, mergers aren't final and can be undone as with SM64DS.

Notability (Fiction)
Whilst I appreciate you have every right to revert my amendments to WP:FICT, I would be grateful if you would care to discuss your own views at WT:FICT when you do, so all the editors contributing to the discussions can get some constructive feedback.

My intention is to bring the preamble of WP:FICT in line with the other SNG's.I would prefer not to be reverted at all if possible, as this is a a substantial proposal, not a trivial one line change. Simply alter the text to reflect what you yourself would like to see, so your own views are made explicit, as I am sure you have an important contribution to make. Whist I would agree with you that the consensus is yet to emerge, and my revisions are supported by existing framework of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so if you are proposing similar or alternative wording, then we would all benefit from you making them known.

If you have any reservations or doubts, lets discusss them at WT:FICT before reverting.--Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 07:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Template:Cite video
Since you recently commented on the talk page of cite video, you might be interested in my proposal to convert the template to use citation/core (which cite web, cite news, cite journal, and cite book use).

Image tagging for File:School Rumble - bike-chase.png
Thanks for uploading File:School Rumble - bike-chase.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:06, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: accessmonth and accessyear
I agree in principle. The only other cite template that I can think of that accepts anything other than accessdate is cite web, which accepts accessmonthday and accessdaymonth along with accessyear, which at least doesn't give the impression that accessmonth/accessyear alone are acceptable (as cite video did). I would fix accessmonthday and accessdaymonth from any article that I were to edit, but I'm not particularly up for trawling through 300,000 transclusions and fixing them. I've learned that people do funky stuff with access dates, including putting them in ambiguous formats (e.g., 04-05-2009; is that mm-dd-yyyy or dd-mm-yyyy?). —TKD  [talk]  [c] 02:16, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fortunately, in the cases that I have encountered them, the article was (or at least appeared to be) self-consistent, so I fixed the dates based on the only interpretation that didn't cause impossible dates to arise. —TKD  [talk]  [c] 16:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking at the documentation, actually, cite web does specify to use the date format of the article. I think previously it allowed ISO yyyy-mm-dd. —TKD  [talk]  [c] 16:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * dd-mm-yyyy and mm-dd-yyy (and mm/dd/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy) have always been incorrect Wikipedia style because of the ambiguity. I thought that WP:MOSNUM had an explicit proscription against this, but I guess not. Maybe discussing a quick addition there would be appropriate. I think most experienced editors infer that those formats are incorrect by their omission, but perhaps newer editors could benefit. —TKD  [talk]  [c] 17:18, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Mediation at WP:FICT
I'm suggesting we ask for mediation to help build teh guidance at Notability (fiction). What I propose is that a mediator be the only person to edit the project page itself and be the one to guide discussion and discern consensus. I've proposed it at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction). As a past participant in the lengthy debates, I'd appreciate your input and hopefully your agreement. Hiding T 10:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Fumoffu
Hey Jinnai! I'd like to ask for your advice regarding the Fumoffu article. As I read Dandy saying somewhere, pictures are often unnecessary and it is also my belief that Wikipedia should be more about information than pictures. The Fumoffu article has 2 character pictures now since Betacommand's bot (both the user and the bot are now banned) took one of them down. So which way do you advice we go? Upload the missing picture or take the 2 remiaing pictures down? Thanks for your time! OutOfTimer (talk) 23:28, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Use a screenshot from the TV show, preferably showing some aspect that sets it apeart other than a scene of a bunch of characters to show what they look like. That's left for the character page.

Re: partner peer reviews with milhist and vg
My understanding of the arrangement is that any MilHist PRs should get cross-posted to VG, and any VG PRs should get cross-posted to MilHist; I'm not aware of any intent to limit the exchange to only selected reviews, since the intent is mostly to get "outside" reviewers, not to work on shared topics directly.

DBZ character talk page
Hey mate. I'm asking if you'd be interested to check out the section I opened on the DBZ character talk page in regards to merging. It deals with moving many of the characters listed in the secondary section to the other (tertiary) section, as many more influential and important characters have now been merged or deleted. It would only be proper to sustain and maintain the same consensus on the entire page; I haven't made any changes as of yet as it may not be considered constructive to move characters without a proper debate. Those that are debatable, I've listed them in the same format and hope to get your vote for keeps and merges into the other section. I've only listed the ones I've found to be primarily lesser appearing characters and who are limited to one or two sagas at the most in their appearance, or remain background characters for the most part. As many of the characters who are listed in the secondary section are actually much lesser than those in the other, I was hoping to hear from you and get your votes on the matter. - Zarbon (talk) 23:55, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

School Rumble reassessment request
Hey Jinnai, in light of your reassessment of School Rumble up to B-class, I requested a (largely procedural ;) ) reassessment; just figured I'd drop you a note so you were aware/if you wanted to add any thoughts. =) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 20:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm... It seems this has opened a bit of a can of worms; sorry about that. Just so you know, though, it's probably better to specifically enumerate in prose who licensed the series in what country or language; this is something required on chapter lists gunning for FA (as I understand it), so it probably wouldn't hurt to emulate in the main article. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 22:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * In that case, I would say to simply remove them. If you're sufficiently worried about preserving the information so you can continue to hunt down sources for them, and don't want to dig through the page history every time, you could first copy them to the talk page. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 05:09, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

are you normally this much of an asshole? what was the problem with the picture, its not like i was going to change it every week. I just thought it'd be better to see Kurapika's real eyes instead of his Kurata clan eyes covered with his contacts. It wasn't bad whats your problem?
 * Those who post the first image have precident, ie if you want to change his image, give a good reason in the talk page.

Re: School Rumble copyediting needed
グ ルグルまわる．．．？ Spin, spin, spin...  Jinnai, I am sorry I cannot help here. Firstly, I do not think I am very qualified to copyedit to FA quality (usually most of my FAs are screened and slashed to quality by other more qualified editors). Secondly, I am a bit busy with my office work at the moment. Thirdly, on the Wikipedia side, two of my watched articles are needing work after some issues were raised. On the whole, I lack the time to give Tenma and gang serious attention (Kobayashi copped out on the final chapters!) You could try asking EyeSerene if he wants to work on something out of his usual areas. He is quite friendly and helpful (he has helped me on a couple of articles). He is an often-asked copyeditor, so he might not have the time, but if you are willing to wait 2–3 weeks, it could be possible to obtain his help. Jappalang (talk) 14:15, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

reverted your reversion of Fiction
I reverted your reversion of my Fiction changes for the reason specified in the original edit summary. I went to Fiction looking for the community's guideline on the topic and saw that editors had apparently given up on the proposal. FWIW, the emphasis on real-world content mention in the nutshell version, is my personal preference. But for whatever reason, no one brought the community to a consensus on the gory details in the proposal. 72.244.206.223 (talk) 23:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC).

Brock and Misty
Kinda have to disagree with cutting those two from the VG project. Unlike with Ash vs. Red, there's no distinction that either is a separate character than their video game versions, which have actually appeared more than once in games, albeit in small appearances. The manga even ties more into that with the character's more directly related to their original versions. So I strongly disagree with removing those two on those grounds: even if the anime version can be argued to be more "iconic" they're still video game characters.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:20, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Media Create
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Anyway, I apologize, but I think you'd be better off finding someone else to do it. Not only do I have no idea how to archive a page (I only know how to access them), but I'm a sporadic editor; I'll work on something, and then be gone. It would probably be better to have a more knowledgeable, frequent Wikipedian do it. Or perhaps a bot could be designed? I don't know how that works. Sorry again.

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 Popotan characters.

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!

Re: Misty and Brock
The reasoning is completely subjective to be honest. While it's easy to say to you that the character is more recognizable for being an anime character to you, to another editor it might be more recognizable as a manga character, and to someone else, a video game character. The only litmus test we ultimately have is to go with the character's first origin as that avoids any bias or original research.

I guess a good analogue are the Pokemon species articles themselves: awhile back it was argued that they should have anime-styled templates for the infobox because they were "more recognizable" in the anime, but consensus was that they use the standard VG character box to keep it consistent and due to their origin as video game characters.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:39, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's objective. Look at the reception the video game characters and the anime characters get. Look at the scholarly analysis. 陣 内 Jinnai 01:51, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see how one character getting more attention in one format in such material than another accounts for anything. We don't have a MoS standard for such either, as far as I know? Much of Mewtwo's reception regarding it as a character, for example, is taken exclusively from its anime appearance. Yet it still has the VG character template without complaint.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:56, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Mewtwo and Misty/Brock are completely different. I had a long paragraph about it, but edit conflict cut it. Basically Mew2 was designed even in the game to be a special pokemon. Misty and Brcok were designed as just another gym leader and other than gameguide material, there isn't anything of note about them, other than that they originally appeared in the game. You also continue to use their anime appearance in a video-game template which reinforces my point about the anime being more important. 陣 内 Jinnai 02:03, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I really disagree with doing this, as it comes across as original research. I'll start a discussion on WT:VG and see what they say, it would be good to have a standard here.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:10, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Please link it on WP:ANIME as it also very much concerns that wikiproject as well. Probably pokemon wikiproject as well. 陣 内 Jinnai 02:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a shout to clarify, but I posted over there on WT:VG that the infobox was meant to convey that the character originated from video games but still show all aspects of them (i.e. anime etc) equally since the other infoboxes are either gangly or a maze and the vg character template is clear cut. Kinda realize how my edit summary came across there. Are you fine with the use of the vg character templates in that regard (meaning, signifying solely their origin, not as in putting more weight on the vg appearance over the others)--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * While I appreciate the clarrification, the vg template seems to over-emphasize her video game appearance imo. It should defiantly be noted that her origin is based from the video game, but her origin has had nothing to really do with her notability or the way she is percieved and studied. If you look at the VG template it is slanted towards VG characters appearances (obviously) and her role in the video game is not noteworthy except for that is was the basis for her anime, and later manga, counterpart that did become worthy of scholarly and industry notoriety. 陣 内 Jinnai 01:16, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying that the template reflect where it came from and not "this is more important than that". I mean it can't be argued that the character originated from there, even if the anime/manga version are better received. The Infobox animanga character template puts more emphasis on in-universe content and has no real distinction as to what the first appearance was where unless you spell it out, and Infobox character is in the same boat. If you look at how I had the vg box set up on those pages, I showed they originated there, but listed the voice actors for both regions and live-action actor, the creator and designer. That's really all the infobox needed in this case and I'm surprised that the other templates don't keep that style. But anyway, point is it's a more user-friendly box that gets the point across clearer, can we at least agree on that and go from there?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * When I look at the VG one it does tend to emphasise the video game character though. FE: To be more neutral it should say "Original appearance" or if it were stictly for video games, "Original video game appearance" in which case Pokemon Red and Blue would suffice and should probably have a section for "first anime appearance" as that is what she is most famous for (something like original_other + original_other_name fields) otherwise for cases like these, where the original concept is not so important except for historic notation, it over-emphasizes if with the way the current vg template is setup. 陣 内 Jinnai 02:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm, I'm going to add a bit to the VG character infobox that might be useful then, as we have had video game characters pop up before that initially appeared briefly in other formats (Gouken, Edge Master). I don't think the anime appearance per se needs to be listed her, as truthfully Misty, Brock, and even Jesse and James when they have their articles back all appeared in a very short time to the beginning of the series, so the prose can cover exactly when, no?
 * Anyway once I finish the tweak going to set up the box on Misty. Tell me if you're satisfied with it afterwards, I'd rather show it in action.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:52, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, the template now has a first appearance tag so it can cover situations like this or those like Gouken. If you want anime and manga appearances covered by then we could do an in-universe box tacked on, but I still think both are better handled by the prose in this case. Is this satisfactory?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:58, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe its the fact it starts out with her infobox as "Game series" when she's not really known for that. Probably if it were just "Series" it'd be fine since it contradicts otherwise with her anime avatar in the infobox. 陣 内 Jinnai 03:06, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Simple hassle free solution there: changed "Game series" to just "Series".--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:11, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, yea now it seems fine. I would use that version as a model for the other characters from Pokemon (except maybe a few pokemon like pikachu) and as a model for other games where the probability of the video game is only of historic note compared to the other media (Ken and Ryu i'm not quite sure they are to that level). 陣 内 Jinnai 03:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for asking, Jinnai! Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that I have either (although I thought I had seen Dragon Warrior in there, but I guess I was wrong). This is a comprehensive list of every review they did, so let me know if there's something else you've got on priority.


 * Now, what I can tell you is that the column did a lot of commenting on games which did not recieve a full review at any point, usually in the form of a preview or a quick nod. If you think there's a chance that might be helpful, the Dragon CD-ROM Archives disk contains a search engine and I can have a look to see what might be there. BOZ (talk) 20:05, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The only referece to Dragon Warrior I found was some guy complaining in the Forum column (ah, the days before internet message boards) about how computer role-playing games don't allow for the versatility to do things like kill villagers. :) I found a few references to DragonQuest, but not what you're looking for. Sorry that wasn't more helpful! BOZ (talk) 20:26, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Same here! They seem to have hit upon nearly every successful influential game of the period... and plenty that are practically forgotten, for that matter (I can't tell you for how many articles, some having existed for a few years already, the first source added to the article was by me!). Granted, the main focus of the magazine lay in different areas, but their reviews sections was generally comparable to that of magazines which did focus on computers and gaming, so I don't know what to tell you. :) Well, if you come across any other games in the 1987-1995 time period, we'll try again. :) BOZ (talk) 17:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

List of School Rumble characters review
Coming from a mostly anime perspective, as I've read about 1/3 of the manga, I feel the list looks fine as it is.

I have an idea why you might consider moving Karasuma to secondary vs. main character status, but given how much Tenma's affection for him drives that part of the plot and impacts Harima as well, I feel it would be better to keep him as a main character, albeit the lowest one perhaps in terms of hierarchy. My understanding, again not having read the last 2/3 the manga, is that his impact grows as the series progresses. However the anime (not counting the 3rd term) doesn't convey this. -- Broken Sphere Msg me 00:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

 Thanks for uploading File:School Rumble - bike-chase.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 05:14, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps update
Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 00:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hunter x Hunter
Just stop stop stop. What you're doing is absolutely ridiculous. Having separate articles for different categories of characters is common practice, and there's plenty of background information related to the characters that simply will not be cut, and the rest is already fairly compact. At most the infoboxes can be lost to reduce length. Just put it back and leave it be, or put it back and start a month long discussion with the 10 other contributors on how it would be better.

Merging should not be considered if: 1. The resulting article is too long or "clunky" 2. The separate topics could be expanded into longer standalone (but cross linked) articles 3. The topics are discrete subjects and deserve their own articles even though they may be short

All of these are true in this case.

 * Doesn't matter as WP:SIZE doesn't apply to list articles
 * When there is real-world information about them that doesn't threaten the notability of the parent article it would be split from. That isn't the case here and its doubtful you could find such.
 * Which is why I am not merging the individual character articles at this time. Though they may be in the future unless they can show notability. The lists aren't that discrete; there very nature, lists, make them non-discrete.
 * Much of the argument you base this on is its size and I'll admit, in its present form, its unweidly. However, its present form is not a format that would pass as a quality article; indeed it fails WP:OR. I just editied Ging Freecss and found WP:Synthesis and other original research. Infoboxes are also not used in list articles, further cluttering and expanding it. Finally, those lists have a lot of trivial information that isn't relevant, including trivial one-time characters who are not nessasary for understanding the plot of Hunter x Hunter. 陣 内 Jinnai 17:39, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

School Rumble
Sorry I missed your post (my talk-page can be high-traffic sometimes!) I've been through the article and made a few tweaks, but nothing major. Only one thing to check with you: the quote from Lisa Marie about the bike chase - I assume she meant cachet (as in prestige), so I've included a [sic] in the quote, but it might be as well to check. All the best with the FAC ;) EyeSerene talk 18:48, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It is an audio piece so i'm sure that's what she said. I'll change that. 陣 内 Jinnai 19:33, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * OK :) In my humble opinion the article's looking pretty good - the video clip is excellent and really illustrates it in a way pictures never could - so hopefully all will go well. EyeSerene talk 21:18, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure about other copyeditors - some of the best I know are, , , and , but they're also the busiest. IIRC Awadewit maintains a list at the bottom of her talk-page. Hope this helps, EyeSerene talk 20:15, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I will either copyedit the article later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. In either case, I will perform the requested second copyedit. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 19:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Unearthed Arcana
I was thinking of running Unearthed Arcana through GAN again. Figure it's improved a bit since the state it was in at the time of your review of it about a year ago? :) BOZ (talk) 05:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks better. However, I still believe it lacks info on the incorperation some of the rules, especially 3rd edition, into D&Ds "core rules" as an impact section. 陣 内 Jinnai 05:51, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have, or know of, a source that talks about that, so I don't know what else can be done. I really don't even know anything about how the 3E book's concepts were later incorporated into the core rules? BOZ (talk) 12:44, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I remember reading it I think either in one of the books the rules were adapted from in the intro or forward. 陣 内 Jinnai 18:46, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Any idea which book(s) that might have been? BOZ (talk) 20:20, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * PHB2 or the DMG2? 陣 内 Jinnai 22:08, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll try to have a look through those - they seem to make sense. You figure in the introduction, or somewhere in the book, the designers give a nod to the UA explicitly? If so, I'd really like to make use of that. BOZ (talk) 00:09, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I read the introductions for both of those books and neither mentioned UA specifically. If you have any other ideas on where you might have seen something, let me know! BOZ (talk) 06:33, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing yet, although I did find some creation info on the 3rd edition version. It may have been in an issue of Dragon. If not, I don't know. 陣 内 Jinnai 08:24, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, I've got that interview cited already. Don't know what else to add, or where else to look, but maybe it's far less crucial to have that info for GA as it is for FA. :) BOZ (talk) 00:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably for a GA. A GA doesn't require info on everything. FA though would be different.

February GA Sweeps update
Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 95% done with around 130 articles left to be swept! Currently there are over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 3 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. Per my message last month, although we did not review 100 articles last month, I still made a donation of $90 (we had 90 reviews completed/initiated) to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps reviewers. I would like to thank everyone's efforts for last month, and ask for additional effort this month so we can be finished. I know you have to be sick of seeing these updates (as well as Sweeps itself) by now, so please do consider reviewing a few articles if you haven't reviewed in a while. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Notability (fiction)
Don't you think the time for WP:BRD on that guideline is long past?&mdash;Kww(talk) 02:03, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to disagree because those 2 i left are used in other fictional Wikipedia topics for the same reason. It's only recent local consensus that is disagreeing. I do agree that the other items are more shaky, but I'd want a wider-much wider than the last one-RfC before changing it because what is being done goes against what every other fictional guideline says and I believe some-specifically Gavin-have an agenda to get WP:FICT made stricter than the GNG and claim "consensus" when there are 2 arbcom rulings saying (my paragaphase) "find a compromise that has support from both inclusionists and exclusionists).
 * I believe an RfC is justified before removing because you'll note that just prior to the version (where I added the award for fictional characters) that the whole page had been relatively stable for some months. This is only a recent backlash (yes I believe at the core that's what it is) to my addition. I'd want it done with that section in though and if its shown that the section doesn't have consensus from a much wider segment, then I'll concede. If one of them is fine and the other isn't, it should be integrated into the main list of criteria. 陣 内 Jinnai 21:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Completed!
Thanks to everyone's amazing efforts in February, we have reviewed all of the articles and are now finished with Sweeps! There are still about 30 articles currently on hold, and once those reviews are completed, I will send you a final message about Sweeps process stats including the total number of articles that were passed and failed. If you have one of these open reviews, be sure to update your count when the review is completed so I can compile the stats. You can except to receive your award for reviewing within the next week or two. Although the majority of the editors did not start Sweeps at the beginning in August 2007 (myself included), over 50 editors have all come together to complete a monumental task and improve many articles in the process. I commend you for sticking with this often challenging task and strengthening the integrity of the GA WikiProject as well as the GAs themselves. I invite you to take a break from reviewing (don't want you to burn out!) and then consider returning/starting to review GANs and/or contribute to GAR reviews. With your assistance, we can help bring the backlog down to a manageable level and help inspire more editors to improve articles to higher classes and consider reviewing themselves. Again, thank you for putting up with difficult reviews, unhappy editors, numerous spam messages from me, and taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing!

Fixing the list of .hack characters
hey, i proposed an idea and he seemed to like it.

so the idea is that we split the characters into two different articles. One being List of Project .hack characters and the other being List of .hack Conglomerate characters.

this way it would be easier to determine which characters are the main characters from each project. And characters such as Kite and Haseo can have brief description depending on which project they were most important.Bread Ninja (talk) 15:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
