[edit] Fansites

  • Fansites are explicitly not allowed on Wikipedia. I happen to have the Sailormoon-associated pages on watch, but not the Xena pages. The people I've talked to say you could be banned for a period of time for repeatedly putting in those links, so watch it. Danny Lilithborne 23:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Neptunekh. I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Are you wondering whether you should add links to fansites to articles? Generally, I'd say only do that if the fansite contains a good amount of useful information about the topic of the article, or is the topic of the article. The purpose of external links is to take the reader to places where they can find further information on the topic rather than to offer them a collection of weakly related sites that hang-on to the topic. Unlike the message above, I don't think you are likely to get banned or blocked for a period of time if you are adding the links in good-faith. The only way you would be liely to get blocked was if someone thought you were repeatedly adding fansite links in for advertising or spam purposes. (People do this quite often, as you can imagine!) If I can be of more precise help, let me know on my talk page. -Splashtalk 12:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] regarding Xena articles

  • I haven't been deleting links since the last time I did. Take it up with whoever's doing it. Danny Lilithborne 05:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding links

  • Look, if you want to add links to articles that I'm not watching over, fine; but at least do it in a neat way. I was reading Philip J. Fry today and noticed an ugly link with no description at the very end, and removed it. Have some sense of aesthetics. Danny Lilithborne 09:50, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smile!

Danny Lilithborne has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to two other people, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}} or {{subst:smile2}} to their talk pages. Happy editing! Danny Lilithborne 00:45, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  :)

You made my day (well, night) too. Have a good Mother's Day. :D Danny Lilithborne 03:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

  • After checking out the links you provided, I fixed them and put the notable ones in the proper location. Thanks for contributing :) Danny Lilithborne 21:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Hi there. I got your note, and want to let you know I'm doing okay. I'm in the process of moving to an apartment right now, and things are kind of messed up on my end (I'm on my mom's computer right now, which doesn't have a lot of programs). Take care :) Danny Lilithborne 07:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Unfortunately, this computer has neither Windows nor MSN Messenger. I won't be able to chat until I get my current computer hooked up to the Internet at my apartment, and that might take awhile. Sorry :( Danny Lilithborne 07:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
        • I got the one you sent and replied to it, and I also believe I sent an e-mail in response to your first June message. Cheers :) Danny Lilithborne 07:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I checked out your links. The ones I removed were largely because either they had not been updated for a very long time (one hadn't been updated since 2000), or because they were largely fanfiction type sites. However, the Tomb of the Little Known Senshi links you provided were very nice, as the ones currently on Wikipedia link to a Geocities version of the site. Thanks :) Danny Lilithborne 07:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm here, just really busy. Don't worry. :) Danny Lilithborne 01:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • It's got nothing to do with you, Tina. I'm facing a hugely difficult family situation and it's taking its toll on me. (I'm not moving out anymore.) Keep in touch. I'll probably have MSN back by next week. Danny Lilithborne 06:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Add four tildes (~) to the end of your post, like this: ~~~~ ... it's easy :) Danny Lilithborne 03:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm really tired and worn out. I'll look them over tomorrow :) Danny Lilithborne 06:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I am told that fanlistings are absolutely not allowed on Wikipedia; it seems I'm unclear on the standards. I've asked admin User:Denelson83 to double check the links. Danny Lilithborne 01:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I must advise you that links to websites that consist only of fanlistings are not permitted on Wikipedia, as fanlistings do not provide any relevant encyclopedic information.  Denelson83  01:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: My Links

Sorry, but none of those links are appropriate for Wikipedia articles.  Denelson83  22:37, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: msn

I'd love to, but I don't know your e-mail address. You can find me on Skype, however, under this very username.  Denelson83  00:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yarrow Ecovillage Society

  • I'm going to need a couple days or so to digest the article. Til then, try reading the article about ecovillages. Danny Lilithborne 02:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry, Neptunekh, but I am not interested in Yarrow at this time. Also, that link you gave me for #1 really is not appropriate for that article.  Denelson83  02:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I have to spend some time with my sister tonight. Maybe a rain check. Danny Lilithborne 04:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I was dead tired last night, so I couldn't chat :( I'll be around tonight. Danny Lilithborne 00:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I marked the article as a stub, so hopefully people better acquainted with editing city articles will get to it. Danny Lilithborne 08:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

  • I went a little nuts on my userboxes, but I think it looks good. Anyhoo, for the Sailor Moon userbox, add {{subst:user smfan}} somewhere on your page. Also, try this link to find other userboxes you might want to use. As for links, the best thing to do for links is to list them like this:

*[http://url.of.page Name of page] - Brief description of page

Hope that helps. Danny Lilithborne 05:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I explained it up here :) Danny Lilithborne 09:31, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Regarding your SM questions, I honestly don't think a great deal of thought was put into the anime adaptation. As for Viluy, I see a theme with the Witches 5's names and I don't see a reason that Viluy should deviate; maybe the stone is named for the deity? Danny Lilithborne 10:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cyprine

I have just reverted your edits at Cyprine. The material you added was a patched together cut and paste copyright violation of the content at this [1] copyrighted website. Please do not violate copyright laws. Vsmith 00:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, responding to your question on my talk. Although I'm not sure an article is needed for a color variety of a mineral, there is a bit of info available as you linked on the Franklin-Sterling website. I usually tell my students to first read the sources and take notes in their own words, then write the paper from their notes. Lastly, check the draft to be certain there is no plagiarism and provide source info in a reference section. You did provide source info - which made it easy for me to check, thank you, now you need to rewrite in your words or paraphrase what the source said. If you use more than one source and especially if the article is long and or controversial, each section should be referenced (either with a footnote system or using Harvard style reference notes. Try to avoid direct quotes as much as possible, but if you use them be sure to set them off with quotation marks or indentations.

[edit] WikiMoon

  • I don't really post there very much, and I don't know Kerochan very well. Sorry :( Try talking to DEnelson. 210 seems to be sticking up for you, too. Danny Lilithborne 08:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Can you tell me what happened? If so, I could try. --Masamage 16:09, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
    Well...I really want to help with this, but I don't even have an account at the place. That, and.... I think if I suddenly appeared to back you up, I would be pretty much ignored. It would look like you had just run off to get your friends to make yourself look good; how are they to know whether or not I know anything about the situation or about Wikis or Sailor Moon? I don't think that's your motivation, of course, but I feel unprepared to get involved in something I don't understand. I hope that makes sense.
    But, how long are you banned for? And are their banning rules the same as WP's? --Masamage 07:21, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    I see. Well, I've looked over things and done what I can. I think you just mostly panicked a lot; calm down, don't get so offended so quickly, and just enjoy yourself. It'll be okay. ^^ It's very important to understand that when people revert your changes on a Wiki, it's nothing personal. They're just the same as you, trying to make it better. When people disagree with you, discuss the merits of the change, not the motives of the person removing it. You'll get much further and have way more fun that way. --Masamage 05:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
    Your ban is currently set to last forever. That seems pretty unreasonable, in my opinion, so I've asked WikiSysop to reconsider. No answer yet; probably still in bed. We'll see what he says. ^^ Again, I wouldn't take it too personally; I'm wondering if perhaps he set it up that way because you insisted you were leaving anyway, and even talked about banning yourself. He might just be complying with that. I'll let you know what I hear back. --Masamage 06:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Neptunekh, when you edited WikiSysop's talk page to say "F you." I have to wonder why you're surprised that you were banned. Kerochan no Miko 07:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
I forgot about that. I feel horriable. Is he really angry? Am I banned forever?
The answers are no and yes, respectively. And I don't know why you're so upset about being banned, you were the one who said you were leaving. I would suggest that in the future you familiarize yourself with the rules of a wiki before you try editing it. And as Masamage suggested, don't take things personally. Kerochan no Miko 07:54, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Neptunekh, you asked a question. I answered it. I'm not sure why you're getting offended by this. Kerochan no Miko 08:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Kerochan really seems to me like a nice person, Neptune. I know that you've had disagreements, but don't let that stop you from seeing that she's not out to get you. She's replying to your talkpage because she wants to help. --Masamage 18:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, it looks like the final decision is that they are going to leaved you banned, possibly indefinitely, you because of your "F you" comment to the Sysop. Sorry, but I can't do anything else. I have very little to do with Wikimoon and have been asked not to get involved with disputes that don't involve me. --Masamage 18:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I can't help you get un-banned from WikiMoon, because I agree that your behavior earned it, but yes, I was trying to help you understand why you were banned. However, you've been convinced from the start that I have something against you or hate you (neither of which is true) and I doubt you'll listen to me anyway, so I suppose I should give up. Kerochan no Miko 00:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't feel comfortable helping you start up a new pseudonym on Wikimoon. That would be dishonest, and it's really not my place to mediate. In my opinion, you should just let it go for now. Leave it alone for a little while, keep contributing here on Wikipedia, and get to the point where everyone feels better. In a month or two, consider trying again. But let it wait. Just enjoy your time here and help us out. --Masamage 04:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Glad you feel better. ^^ And it's true; you can totally look over there anytime you want. And when WikiMoon Web starts up, it sounds like a whole new project you won't be banned from, so there's your whole new clean slate right there! :) --Masamage 05:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
If you want Kerochan to know you're sorry, why not tell her yourself? I think that wold be a very significant gesture, and if you really mean it I'm confident that she would appreciate it. And then we'd all get warm fuzzies. ^^ --Masamage 05:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I am not very involved with WikiMoon, so I have no idea when WikiMoon Web will start up. It sounds like it'll be a different website, though, so there's a possibility your IP won't be blocked in that area, which is what I mean. On the other hand, it might; I don't know, and I have no way of knowing. You'll just have to be patient and keep an eye on it. --18:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
No, you haven't been a bother. ^^ I'm happy to help you with anything I have time for; I just want to encourage you not to totally rely on other people for the things you want to see done. That's not nearly as much fun or as satisfying.
I also don't want you to be totally let down when I don't have time to help with things. Like I said, I can get very busy, especially now that the school year's started again. --Masamage 06:08, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Witches 5 links

I think the second Viluy link is okay, but we should only include one for each character. If you can find an even better Viluy shrine, I'd prefer something a little nicer (with not so many ads), but feel free to add that in for now. We can replace it when we find something else. Even better than that would be to have a really excellent shrine that had info for all five/six of the Witches; then we'd only need one external link. Still, we'll go with what we've got for now. ^^ Thanks! --Masamage 04:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, in my opinion all those pages look pretty messy. Having something at a Geocities or Angelfire address is always a bad sign, because anyone who visits them will be bombarded with adverts and popups, and we don't want to do that with our readers. The effort is appreciated, though! Try to look for something really, really top quality, not just any old page. I'd be happy to take a look if you find something else, but don't worry about it too much. If you think about it, our goal is to provide information, with providing extra links as kind of an afterthought.
I also don't know anything about Charmed, so I won't be able to help you there. The right place to ask about those links would be at Talk:Prudence Halliwell. Or just use your best judgement--are they really high-quality? Do they say things the article doesn't already say? Do they say things that the article's current links don't already say? If you can answer yes to all of these questions, you can feel confident in adding them. Or in just adding one, if it's better than the other. --Masamage 05:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Why don't you want to talk to Kerochan yourself? And why don't you want to add links yourself? --Masamage 07:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Add them! :) If they're good, they'll stay, and I told you just a few lines above this how to tell whether they should be there. When in doubt, use the talk page for that specific article.
Like I said, the Wikimoon people have reminded me that these events are none of my business, and I've agreed not to keep involving myself. I'm sorry, but I've really got to hold to that. However, I will reiterate another thing I said a few lines up, which is that when "WikiMoon Web" starts up, you'll have a clean slate there and will be able to start over with those people, talking to them yourself and making good contributions just as you intend.
I'm very happy to help you with things where I can, but please be aware that I am a married college student working two jobs. I really don't have the time to personally approve every change you want to make to the Wiki. But WP policy specifically says to be bold--go ahead and make changes! As long as you mean well--which you do--you won't get in trouble. Just listen to the feedback you get and abide by it. If people disagree with what you post, they will probably revert it, and then the right thing to do is to discuss the merits of the thing you changed. It is not a personal attack when people do this. It's the natural consequence of having more than one person working here. Don't question their motives; just have a fun conversation about improving the encyclopedia.
I'm not going to add that Viluy link mostly on principle. It's your idea; you should do it and you should get credit for it. That, and I don't want to become a middle-man. Go ahead and post it yourself. Nothing bad will happen. :) --Masamage 08:43, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wiki Project SailorMoon

Hello there. To join the WikiProject, just go here and add your name there (I think you can do it adding ~~~ at the end of the list. As for Wiki Moon, I have no idea. I dismissed it once I heard the site was not going to use the GFDL license for submissions, as I am not interested in releasing my text in any way that may not be used to help others.

[edit] Kirra, Greece

Hi, you asked me to take a look at this article you created. I moved it to Kirra, Phocis, and added an intro and categories. I'm not going to edit it any further, but I do have some suggestions. The text looks like it was copied from some tourist brochure. That might be a copyright violation, you'd better rewrite the interesting parts (about the ancient port, earthquake etc.) into a more neutral style, and remove the less interesting/encyclopedic parts like the camp sites. Take a look at Wikipedia:How to edit a page, that should give you an idea how to make this a nice article. For instance, you can link to other articles like this: [[Delphi]] and this: [[Crete|Cretan]]. Enjoy your editing! Markussep 18:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link for List of Sailor Moon locations

I'm not really in a position to judge whether other websites are encyclopedic, so I say just be bold and see what the community thinks. --  Denelson83  05:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

(Answer to question my talk page): The Lunar Archivist's work is usually quite good. So yes I thinks so, however some things in the Sailor Moon world may be named after things, but aren't supposed to be the same thing - the Tau Galaxy in Sailor Moon is a Galaxy for example, not a star system like Tau Ceti. --GracieLizzie 15:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
