Reason for removing wikilinks in Rola article
Hi. In the edit summary of your recent edit to the Rola (model) article here, you asked why certain links had been removed earlier (by me). The reason I removed them was because the Manual of Style guidelines do actually discourage adding wikilinks to countries and nationalities as unnecessary and distracting. I assumed you had been editing long enough on Wikipedia to be familiar with this by now, but I see you felt the need to re-add them. --DAJF (talk) 06:04, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I do not actually agree with this matter, because it is not particularly a case of overlinking if it is a reason she is famous.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 06:23, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

"Furry"
With regards to your "question": two of the three band members are non-talking animal-style anthropomorphic animal characters, as more clearly shown in these shorts. GreenReaper (talk) 06:57, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It makes no sense to categorize them as "furry" just because two of the characters are anthropomorphic animals. It's a band.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 07:00, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Not sure if this is what you envisioned; if any of the curves/ the way the two overlapping points are handled need to be changed, do let me know. Sorry about the late response. sonia (talk) 02:34, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks fine for now.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 02:35, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

m.c.A.T
Hi Ryulong. m.c.A.T made a song for the PlayStation game Running High, should I mention it? http://www.giantbomb.com/running-high/61-38254/ --Hydao (talk) 15:30, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say it's not that important to state unless it was one of his singles, but the article doesn't mention that much to begin with.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 17:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I only created that "article" minutes ago. Well I think it is important mention it. Anyway: http://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation/running-high/credits --Hydao (talk) 17:28, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I meant the page on Akio Togashi here.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 17:30, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, then I will add a short info about Running High. --Hydao (talk) 17:34, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No, don't. It's not necessary.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 17:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you
for adding a tilde. Stupid of me! Happy editing! Oda Mari (talk) 09:59, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: AIV
Thank you for your response. I apologize if I sounded a bit snippy, but you had ignored my previous two notices on your talk page. I understand that you may be frustrated, but wholesale reversions without any attempt at conversation is unacceptable, and reporting edits which are not clearly vandalism and have not been warned are also unacceptable. Just saying "IPs won't respond" isn't enough. I suggest starting a section on the talk page in an attempt to address the IPs concerns; this way you have made a good-faith effort to open a dialogue. If after a time the IP still does not join the dialogue, then I can see those edits as being disruptive.

Regarding your other reports, I see you have a tendency to report "vandal-only accounts" without warning them first, even though the user is only contributing harmless test edits (I'm referring to this case in particular). Unless the account is performing inexcusable vandalism (attacks or similar material) you should give them the full 4 warnings before reporting them as a vandal-only account. Even in cases of bad vandalism I like to see them get at least one level-4 warning before blocking.

Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions. - Running On Brains (talk) 18:04, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * IPs still never pay attention to anything. There are the rare people who care, but they are, as I said, rare.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:04, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: NFCC
Everything got  of hand. I'm sorry for my part in the mess.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  18:32, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The Commons stuff is just useless and has nothing to do with what's going on here. I admit I found it because of the fair use images, but it's just not useful. I admit I was a bit hasty in my actions, but it's a little annoying to have to have gone through all of this red tape over a handful of fair use images (half of which I admit are not useful).— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:03, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Please don't do . -Scottywong | gossip _  13:53, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I do not think you should have shut down the discussion as you falsely believed it was a content dispute when it was discussing Sven Manguard's behavior in regards to a series of repeated FFDs.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 18:45, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If that's what you thought, then you should have come to my talk page and talked to me about it. Don't just revert it without discussion.  If you had sent me a reasonable message showing that it wasn't a content dispute, I would have been happy to re-open the discussion.  -Scottywong | speak _  19:02, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Duly noted.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:31, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Koero! Rakuten Eagles
Hello! Sorry to bother you here on your talk page, but why was it "formatted badly"? [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Koero%21_Rakuten_Eagles&diff=492654339&oldid=492654046 Koero! Rakuten Eagles diff] I can move the words "on YouTube" to the "Upper caption", but it seems to be better like it is now. Moscowconnection (talk) 23:46, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The Misc thing was missing.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 23:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Non-free files missing a rationale
Hi. According to Database reports/Non-free files missing a rationale you have a number of files missing a rationale template. Perhaps you could have a look? It should be easy to find the files if you sort by uploader. --MGA73 (talk) 10:47, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * They have rationales but they do not use the template so I do not have to do anything.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:04, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

"Saban troll"
Has this editor been formally banned from Wikipedia? I can't find anything linking the editor to any named account, but dealing with the edits is getting old, especially having to wait for the editor to be re-blocked before reverting the edits. You seem to know more about the editor's history than I do, so I wanted to ask if you knew if the editor was formerly banned? If not, I think it's long overdue. - SudoGhost 10:19, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Why do we need to have it written in stone? I do not think the "THIS GUY IS BANNED™" mentality isn't all that helpful. I've never said "This guy needs to be banned". I've just said "I'm having problems with a long term editor who never made an account, will someone block his IP range". But if it makes you feel better, go ahead and request a formal banning. I'll provide whatever information is necessary if you do not know what holes need to be filled in.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:16, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see he came back this weekend.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:18, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
