I don't think we need articles for each individual character in fighting games. Please try to keep info on the characters inside the games' articles from now on. In fact, it would be best if you merged those articles into the games' articles. Thanks. -- LGagnon

Power Rangers
Great job on enhancing the articles for T.J., Tommy, and Jason.

I think you should do the same for the Zack, Adam, Kimberly, Katherine, Trini, Ashley, Carlos, Andros, Jen, Tori, Blake, Conner, Ethan, Kira, and Trent articles.


 * The problem with enhancing the articles is that firstly, I've only seen parts of the very beginning of PR, along with LR-NS, and half of Dino Thunder, and even articles on some of the Rangers would be lacking, as they weren't very heavily developed (eg. LR had a very heavy emphasis on Carter, but the other five Rangers had relatively little developement). kelvSYC 04:46, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Good job on the Zordon entry. Very good!

Pokemon Wikibooks
I understand you are the founder of the pokémon book at wikibooks and I was wondering what you thought of this idea. (I believe it has been mentioned before) Why not move the entire pokedex (along with smaller pokémon articles like missingno and pokemon cities) currently on wikipedia to Wikibooks in a new comprhensive pokemon book? In my opinion this would solve several problems.
 * The (attempted) deletion of pokémon articles (which could eventually grow) would stop.
 * Such people wouldn't see the pages on random page or recent changes and would hopefully cool down.
 * Pokemon articles will be concentrated into a an easily navigable book
 * The level of detail could be much higher (what you seem to be doing with move lists and attack levels for every pokemon)
 * In summary I'm sugesting the move of the Pokémon Wikiproject to wikibooks.

I'd be happy to work on such a project, time permitting.

Comments? Ridicule? Correct my spelling? [[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]] 20:58, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The problem with such an idea is that a Pokédex is that, in the world of Pokémon, the Pokédex is an encyclopedia of Pokémon knowledge. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and thus the Wikipedia Pokédex (ie. WikiProject Pokédex) is an encyclopedia to the fictional world of Pokémon. If you argue that it shouldn't be on the pedia, then consider the articles that deal with fictional universes such as Star Trek and Star Wars, which should be precedent for the Wikipedia Pokédex to exist. The problem is that there is a clear distinction between the Pokédex as seen in the games, and the Pokédex as seen from the mangas or anime. Wikibooks Pokédex does the former: it provides game data, as Pokémon attempts to be a Pokémon game strategy guide. The latter is filled by articles in Wikipedia.

However, there are some information on Pokémon that is irrelevant to the game (but plays a significant role in mangas or anime), and Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia and not a game strategy guide, is the better place to put the information. For example, information about how Team Rocket's Wobbuffet keeps summoning itself from its Pokéball is of no value to the Wikibooks Pokédex.

The reason for the separation in the first place was that detailed information relevant to the games was not appropriate for Wikipedia, but with the (then-new) Game Guide section at Wikibooks, it was a better fit there. There is currently a proposal for whether something goes in the pedia or the books, and it sums up to "if it's game data, it's clearly in the books, and if it's part of manga or anime continuity, then it's part of the pedia".

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)


 * You mentioned that you'd like to remain neutral on this issue. Unless you have time to consider this more closely, that seems like a good plan.  If in the future the issue becomes more pressing, I may ask you again, but I don't have a problem with people taking time or choosing to remain neutral.  Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.    – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)   03:52, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)

Marik vs. Malik
I wonder if Kazuki Takahashi has actually romanized his name as "malik", or if it is just a popular romanization for his name. Even the French manga uses "Marik" at least from what I can tell from Kana's website.

This link (http://users.skynet.be/petc/manga-zone/mangas-y-yugioh.htm) shows that the French manga uses "Ishizu" too... apparently "Isis" may also be just a popular rendering of her name. (Again, if Takahashi actually romanized her name as "Isis", please say so :) ) WhisperToMe 04:10, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I think it's a product of weird romanization. If you do it as-is, then yes, "Marik" and "Ishizu" would be correct. I'd refer to them as "Marik" and "Ishizu" personally (if it was "Isis", would the first kana be an a and not an i?). The best bet is to get someone with the anime and see how the seiyuu pronounce it there. kelvSYC 04:19, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Pokémon and Digimon
Here's what I had thought on doing today, I was initionally planning on making a category for both Pokemon and Digimon, and adding differing descriptions between the two shows later, but after seeing many complaints, I decided to spin-off to a new title in a new article called Differences Between Pokémon and Digimon. See if you like it and you can give me feed back right away at User talk:Roadrunner3000.

Roadrunner3000

As I have stated, the two series are unrelated. Why would you want to categorize two unrelated things together? In terms of categorization, it makes no sense. If I were to put this issue in front of the Wikipedia community, they are likely to delete your article and revert your changes. kelvSYC 04:36, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

NHL timeline
I tried some things to avoid label conflicts. I wonder if there's a way to change the link color, because blue just isn't going to work. It would also be nice to horizontally offset some of the labels, like to start the Oakland Seals label before the bar. That row is going to be tough. – flamurai (t) 07:16, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

Try something like shift:pos(-50, 0) to move 50 pixels left. Also to note:

What I have in mind is that the bar representing the team would have one of the team's colors (eg. the yellow in the Boston Bruins bar is supposed to be the yellow that the Bruins use). Between the two gray bars, of course, is the Original Six era.

I also need to add a few footnotes to this (eg. season cancelled by lockout), so I still have to install some textdata.

kelvSYC 07:28, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. The problem with the colors right now is that you can't change the link color, so some things (Maple Leafs) are completely unreadable. I asked about that on m:Help talk:EasyTimeline syntax to see if that could be changed. Eventually, we should make some color tags to get more accurate colors, but it's more important to get the layout right first. – flamurai (t) 07:48, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I have been trying to develop a timeline for the ECHL similar to the one you made for the NHL and would like to know where were you able to find the RGB Arithmetic codes for webcolors? Rik (talk) 23:19, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Bulbapedia
I noticed you've done a lot of work on Pokemon related articles here and at Wikibooks, so I was wondering if you have heard of Bulbapedia. It's a Pokemon enclyclopedia using the same software as Wikipedia. It's only been open for a few months but has been growing rapidly. Some articles you may wish to look at are Bulbasaur's Pokedex entry and the article for Fury Cutter. - Jshadias 05:27, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've lurked there, but I prefer to work on my own works at Pokémon. Pokémon is designed to be purely a game guide under the Game Guides and Strategy book(shelf), while the Pokémon articles here would have more on non-game aspects such as the anime. My major objective is to make the two parts work well, despite the fact that they are on two different wikis. kelvSYC 05:38, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Timeline
KelvSYC, I added anchor/align/shift attributes. Unfortunately texts in narrow bars always need a small vertical shift. This can't be changed as it would break existing charts (and the amount depends on font size, which is unpredictable once unicode support has been added).

With reluctance I decided to add sometime in the future linkcolor attribute. Reluctance, because all charts now have blue colored links which gives a certain amount of uniformity and makes clickable links easy to recognize. Link colors in Wp articles are all uniform too (unless one adds a user specific stylesheet). I plan to get back to EasyTimeline maintenance somemetime this summer. Very busy with other projects right now. Please copy the colors block, and add #> <# for block comment around the original block and use lighter varieties in the meantime. Erik Zachte 13:53, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

How about User:KelvSYC/TimelinesTest ? See lowest bars, for an alternative solution, that also keeps fonts size readable. Erik Zachte 14:20, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The incorrect names for Anzu Mazaki

A Pokemon Wiki
There is a Pokemon wiki at http://pokemon.wikicities.com/wiki/Home - it's not as good as the stuff we have here, but I think if we help, it may be within a few months. I think that us Wikipedians from the Pokemon project should help there to make is better. User142 30 June 2005 11:54 (UTC)


 * I won't be able to work on Pokémon anytime soon - my focus is right now on MegaMan Battle Network. But I see myself sticking to Pokémon for the forseeable future.  As Wikicities is based on MediaWiki, Special:Import (when wikicities upgrades to 1.5) might be helpful to the project (if you get past the GFDL licensing restrictions present in all Wikimedia projects). kelvSYC July 1, 2005 01:18 (UTC)

Getting better coordination between Pokémon and WP:PAC
I noticed on WikiProject Pokédex that you were coordinating between that project at Pokémon. Pokémon Adoption Center is de facto the inheritor of WP:Pokedex, but it's very, very inclusionist (no surprise there, as WP:PAC came from an effort to keep the Pokémon stubs off of VfD). Nothing necessarily wrong with inclusionism, but I was hoping to get your perspective on where the line betweeen Wikipedia-appropriate information and Wikibooks-appropriate information, specifically in this topic. Understood if you don't want to get involved, naturally. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 15:17, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Whoo... Haven't worked on Pokémon for a long time (since admining in Wikibooks and working on MegaMan Battle Network is taking my time...), but my general thoughts is that, and as I have reiterated, that video game stats are Wikibooks only, and that the Wikipedia pages should constrain themselves to basic facts and facts about them revealed in the anime, mangas, or Live (eg. in the mangas, most Pokémon are capable of human speech, but Pikachu consistently speaks with its own syllables). To summarize, "game guide"-like material should go in Wikibooks and not here - it was the reason why the book was founded in the first place.

BTW, I don't really approve of pronounciation boxes as firstly, it's not in IPA, and second, many different canonical pronunciations exist for the same Pokémon (eg. The a in Pikachu is either /a/ or /@/ depending on the speaker, while in Larvitar, the i is pronounced with a schwa in Pokémon 4Ever and with a dipthong in Master Quest. Chimecho has two unrelated pronunciations altogether - one, /tSaImEkou/, from the fact that the word is a portmanteau of "chime" and "echo", and the other, /tSimikou/, was used in various English AG promos). kelvSYC 05:53:30, 2005-08-12 (UTC)

Use of mathematical notation in articles
Howdy, regarding your edits to generalized selection, projection (relational algebra), rename, and selection (relational algebra), math notation is a user preference. Users can choose wether they want to display formulae by using TeX or by displaying the unicode characters. If you write it in unicode, the users are unable to decide how is the formulae displayed. Not everyone knows how to write unicode special characters, and not everyone is capable of doing so. However, everyone is capable of writing in TeX, since it's a language independent of special characters.

You should also have in mind that older versions of browsers do not support the full spectrum of the unicode character set and therefore when visiting articles written with unicode special characters (such as phi or rho) they see a character error display.

Basically, the use of mathematical notation is encouraged when the formula uses special characters such as phi, rho, set inclusion, greater than, etc etc. For example, Firefox displays the correct unicode character for "greater than" but Microsoft Internet Explorer does not (it displays a similar character with an inclination on the equality symbol).

If you want to modify the formulae when it just displays universal letters (a-z) then feel free to do so, but please leave the mathematical notation for special characters. I have reverted each one of the articles mentioned beforehand for this same reason. If you wish to edit the formulae that defines sets of the form a^1, a^2, ..., a^n that's fine, but please do not write formulae with symbols such as phi and rho in unicode.

Kudos,

&mdash;Joseph | Talk 12:32, 30 October 2005 (UTC)


 * The choice of rendering is made to maintain consistency with how articles on mathematics in Wikipedia are displayed. Furthermore, decisions have been made in Wikipedia about how special characters (ie. non-ASCII) have been rendered, and a large amount has been to break "renderability" in this manner (eg. usage of IPA, Chinese characters, etc.).  Wikipedia has in the past held the "screw the older browsers" position in this manner, and I am sure the same will eventually apply here. kelvSYC 04:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Why did you remove the Super 14 Trophy from the Stanley Cup?
It is actually relevant. It mentions the Stanley Cup: ''Like the Stanley Cup in the National Hockey League and the Super 12 trophy, the trophy is a rotating trophy, held only during the offseason and returned to the competition organisers in time for it to be awarded to the next season's champions. This is dissimilar to the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which is permanently awarded to each winner of the Super Bowl, which in turn means that a new trophy is created every season.'' Please read actually read the linked article before removing from pages. -- HamedogTalk 23:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)


 * This is as the two trophies are only superfically related. One is a 100-year old trophy, the other is new.  One is for rugby, the other for hockey.  Other than the fact that the two trophies are given out the same way each year, I don't see any similarities.  Thus, the two are only superfically related at best.  Wikipedia is not a place to link superficially related information together. kelvSYC 08:32, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Curling tables
Wikipedia Conventions? What are you talking about? If there is any convention for curling tables, it's the one that is on the majority of the curling pages. I only made a different one for the Olympics because the page was so long, and 10 does not divide by 3, so I couldn't use a similar format. Looking at both versions, I think that mine looks nicer, at least on my computer. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think your table looks ugly. Anyways, the colours are not irrelevant, as they represent the colours used for each team, except lighter so that text can be placed over it. Again, I created both table versions, and I feel this is more apporpriate. --Curlingstub.png Earl Andrew - talk 21:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The difference between the Sens table you showed me and the one on the Sens page, is that the one on the Sens page looks a lot nice. The colour adds a lot, and the reason we dont put it in the standings for the NHL is because it would get too distracting, as it would fill up all the boxes. This is not the case in the table I made for the Scotts. My table is a lot nicer, and easier to read. All the information about the team is in the same box. Soudog's curling site does things the same way.  --Curlingstub.png Earl Andrew - talk 22:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree as well. I do not think the content is obfuscated in the least. The teams are listed right below the province for easy readibilty. How is this obfuscated? --Curlingstub.png Earl Andrew - talk 22:53, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Camino icon.png
Image:Camino icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

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

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)
A tag has been placed on Template:Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Name of latest Carcassonne
A note on my recent edit: you're (of course) correct that's the correct translation of the German name (and it's how it's now listed on Board Game Geek); but the cited reference calls it "Children's Carcassonne", so we should only "correct" it once we have a supporting reference. — Aldaron • T/C 22:58, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of McDull Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is McDull Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/McDull Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Comparison of Axis & Allies Games
Good job starting an article to compare Axis and Allies ideas. I would suggest that the bottom related links needs a clean up. Currently is says: "Miniatures. Land. War at sea." I think the basic: "Miniatures: Land. Sea. Air." would work better. Just now discovered how to edit the template, but double check it any way. Thanks.24.79.40.48 (talk) 15:42, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Worst Driver
Since you seem to be maintaining Canadian TV reality shows, I was wondering what you think about splitting Britain's Worst Driver into two, to create a Worst Driver television franchise article? Then we could document things like Andrew Younghusband's comment about Holland's Worst Driver host being run over. 70.24.248.23 (talk) 13:08, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
