You seem to have a good grasp of Dragon Ball history, would you care to help me finish Dragon Ball (franchise)? I'd like for it to eventually be the main DB article, or at least one that is less fanboyish. Too many DB articles here are written by the fans, for the fans. Not really good Wikipedia.

[edit] Megapithicanthropic

I'm not convinced this is a word, but it sure looks impressive. JRP 17:05, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

I coined it, actually. As werewolves are considered lycanthropes, from the Greek lükos (wolf) and anthropos (man), I consider Saiyans to be megapithicanthropes, from megas (great / large), pithikos (ape), and anthropos (man). If you don't like it, feel free to remove it, but I'm rather fond of it myself (maybe it works better as a noun than an adjective, though). --Julian Grybowski 17:15, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Maybe some explanation of the word on the page may be in order, but it seems applicable enough. Someone may eventually remove it, if left unqualified. Since the oozaru form is occasionally referred to as the "wereape" form in English, you could maybe use just pithanthropic... though I'm not positive I'm spelling that right.

[edit] One Piece Summary

You seem to be as devoted as me to cleaning up this site! Keep up the good work! Turk Ranma 20:00, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] One Piece Infobox

The infobox is looking good. Care if I add a few more additions to it? (i.e. Crew member positions, devil fruit, pirate allegiance, voice actor/Seiyu)

As of now, I'm still experimenting with the infobox. I've removed the devil fruit listing (I missed you already had a seperate box started), also I was considering on shortening up the "name section" of the header. Since the names seem to be pretty much the same between the english manga and anime, how about we remove the seperate headings? Let me know what you think of the changes.

[edit] Hamilton College "College Songs"

Thanks for adding the Hamilton College fight song! I was just about to hunt down the lyrics after adding Carissima (my first Wikipedia contribution)

[edit] Deletion of 'liberal wikipedians' category

Hi. I saw you're (like me) listed in this category which is up for deletion. Hoped you'd like to vote in favor of keeping it... Thanks! Larix 23:58, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Daizex copyvio

Just saw this: [1]. You might want to go through the other DB Movie pages to see if any other ones violate Daizex copyrights. JRP 14:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] *nods*

Yeah. I figured if anyone was gonna come to the Japanese language's rescue and save it from my substandard attempt at romanizing "Thousand Island" that it'd be you. Heh. Papacha 17:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Third opinions wanted ~~

I'm going to various contibuting editors to DragonBall articles to receive help and third opinions on a dispute between Zarbon and myself on the List of Frieza Related Characters in Dragon Ball. And lucky, lucky, you just so happen to be one... and an authority, at that. ^_^ Any input/discussion on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Papacha 15:05, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category merge (Category:Japanese comics artists)

It appears that all of the steps for putting it up for merge and deletion ahve not been completed. Please see this page for a list of everything that needs to be done in order for it to be properly listed. Thanks! --日本穣 17:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:DBAF-SSJ5 Goku.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:DBAF-SSJ5 Goku.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 15:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Omiyage / Souvenier

To quote your good self on the Yotsuba&! article: "the Japanese concept of ritual gift-giving is not fully encompassed by "souvenir," particularly in this case." Seeing as the current translation for this edition of Yotsuba&! uses this word, you might want to find a more approproiate alternative. If you are unable to, and you still feel that the differences between the Japanese form of omiyage giving and the western style of souvenir giving are considerable enough to be worthy of note, you may want to add a translators note explaining the inadequacy of the term souvenir in this case.

[edit] Akira Toriyama

You said that Toriyama never mentioned spending time with his family. I do not know if you know this, but I read in an interview that was a reason he quit Dragon Ball and started doing more one-shots. And mentioning his family, I only know his first sons name, Sasuke. Did he ever release any other information about his family? Thanks

[edit] Modular templates?

I noticed that you have been using a modular system to construct the character infobox for the One Piecce characters, and while I am a template newbie myself, I am wondering why exactly. Is there any particular advantage to use of modular templates as opposed to those which simply do not show any blank field?

For an example of what I'm talking about, look at Template:Bleach character info. This template, while it has more complex code, is able to be used for all characters in the series, regardless of how complete a biography they have, as it auto-hides any blank field. For example, Ichigo Kurosaki's article displays the full list, while Ulquiorra's displays nearly nothing, but the template being used is identical.--tjstrf 19:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dragon Ball canon

Can you help us out here? The big issue, and one that I admit that I don't have an answer to, is whether Toriyama or Toei or anyone ever actually officially stated what was canon or not. There are very well-developed fan ideas of what is canon vs what is not, and we can cite some of those, but are there any official sources in the daizenshuus, etc? (Even a references to the movies as being "What Ifs" establishes that Toei knows they are not canonical to the series, for example.) If anyone knows of such in original Japanesde sources, it would probably be you. JRP 12:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. One more thing: Do you know which of the Daizenshuus contains the DB timeline? I don't know if it is one of the ones that I have. If I remember right, though I'm not sure I've ever seen the original, that doesn't have the movies in it. Which is a nice way of saying (other than they don't fit, of course, but I'm doing what I can here...) that they aren't canon to the anime. So, I have a source to cite. Yes, much of the canon discussion is fanwank, but there is some small value to it... Thanks. (JRP, can't log in from here) 209.202.205.1 17:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to 4Kids Entertainment.

Your revert made the article look much worse than it was before. The idea was to turn that one huge paragraph into several paragraphs a/or areas so that it looks like the information is bunched up. I reverted it back. Don't go backwards in editing, go forwards. --293.xx.xxx.xx 07:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding DBZ articles

"English is not one of those languages. Moreover, at Wikipedia we should be striving to achieve a level of accuracy worthy of being considered "encyclopedic." We should not be bowing to the pressure of misinformed fans because they are vocal about their incorrect beliefs. If that were the case, we could easily end up like some of the DBZ-related articles (which I have ceased to bother with trying to keep in line). --Julian Grybowski 12:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)"

Why not protect them from anons and new users? Then explain to the fanboys that, since the fanboys abused the poor articles, only experienced Wikipedians may edit them.

However I believe we would have to get permission for such a block. WhisperToMe 23:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Vice admiral garp.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vice admiral garp.jpg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Vandals - reverting is not enough

Seriously I made a fool of myself just now reporting that IP adress who vandlise the minor characters list for one piece when hadn't been warned. That doesn't matter, I often jump ahead of myself here so I'm not bothered.

Anyway, can you look up the vandal rules next time you do a revert? I want to catch that vandal who is vandalising that page badly, but I can't get him banned if everyone else doesn't help out here. He needs at least a level 3 vandal warning to be banned... He has only JUST recieved a note of his actions can be consider vandlising. That not even the minium level. I seriously want this guy stopped, so if you see this IP adess: 66.168.104.139 go to this the Wikipedia:Vandalism and see what he deserves.

I'm seriously not amused... Lots of people work on the one piece pages, we recieve our fair share of vandals... But few people actually take action against the vandal when he works his dark magic on us. Angel Emfrbl 08:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Kansai-ben

Thanks!I think you touched on the key point, I was wondering if you could respond one more time on the talk page above so we can achieve a consensus. Just Heditor review 01:28, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
