[edit] Kage

You are right, the symbols are, from left to right, Suna, Iwa, Konoha, Kumo, and Kiri. However, the kanji on the kage's hats read, from left to right, 水 (mizu, water), 風 (kaze, wind), 火, (hi, fire), 土 (tsuchi, earth), and 雷 (rai, thunder/lightning). So, no matter how you look at it, the anime crew screwed up ^_^

[edit] Aylesbury Estate

Although I have never been there I find the estate rather curious as I live in the place that's actually called Aylesbury. And some of the things that I understand take place in "the Aylesbury" are mirrors of life over here... Anyhoo just thought I'd pop by and let you know that I've expanded the article and improved it a bit. -- Francs2000 22:00, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Wikiethics

Hi,

We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 21:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Islam

Hi there, The Islam template is used in all Islam related articles and it carries an image of the mosque, if you take a close look at the other religion templates they all carry an icon that actually symbolizes the particular religion. The question is what symbolizes Islam? As a muslim you would agree that we cannot Idolize any symbol as sacred as it would be Shirk. So the next question is what kind of icon would correctly represent Islam and Muslims? It is undoubtedly the Shahada, because without it we wouldn't be muslims. So I have suggested to change the template image from a masjid to a Masjid with the Shahada in it. In order to have the image in the template I need build some consense, could you kindly visit the talk page (Template_talk:Islam) and make your suggestion, lets have the template change so it will correctly represent Islam. (You do not have to support it if you dont like it). thanks in advance.  «₪Mÿš†íc₪»  ^(T) 05:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Banksy

You need to put in the Guardian ref for the real name. Just the URL of the Guardian article after the name (with one square bracket either side of the URL) will do the trick. Tyrenius 01:48, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
