[edit] Image Tagging Image:STH 1 Eggmobile.JPG
 |
|
Thanks for uploading Image:STH 1 Eggmobile.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 there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ReyBrujo 18:06, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hercule
Your page moving stuff was a MESS. I reverted it.
It doesn't matter what Toriyama calls him originally. We have this thing called '"use English naming". We speak English. We use what is used in English-speaking countries. WhisperToMe 22:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Let's say we use what the creator of Pokemon intended to name Bulbasaur, Fushigidane. It would be pretty silly for an English-language Wikipedia, wouldn't it?
WhisperToMe 23:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
There are countless scenarios where the original creators' name is not used. Or, where it is used is because the English manga does so.
For instance, Kamehameha is used in the English manga. WhisperToMe 15:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
"Then what about Ii Shenron? His foregin name (don't know if that's Japanese or Chinese) is used in the title of his article when his dub name is clearly something different." The English-language manga uses Shenlong WhisperToMe 15:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hells Flash
Well, I didn't create the article nor did I know of it's existence before you mentioned it :)
Anyway, the manga naming did NOT, in fact, have to do with censorship. Read the censorship article for a definition of the term. The TV version didn't air on terrestrial TV so I don't think the renaming decision had to do with anything government-mandated either (the TV station itself may have made a request, but I don't think that formally falls under censorship) WhisperToMe 16:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Anyway, in some ways Wikipedia's an oligarchy - The people who care about certain articles make the conventions there... WhisperToMe 16:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
"Yes it does use Shenlong. But what about the Yi/Syn/Omega part?
Starone 03:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)"
I changed it to the dub name, but someone else changed it back. WhisperToMe 03:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move of Hercule (Dragon Ball) to Mr. Satan (Dragon Ball)
Okay - Some users decided to request a move from Hercule (Dragon Ball) to Mr. Satan (Dragon Ball) - See: Talk:Hercule (Dragon Ball) WhisperToMe 20:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
It's happening again at Talk:Hercule_(Dragon_Ball)#Survey WhisperToMe 03:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] And here we go again
Oh joy - another move request. Logic isn't enough apparently.

[edit] Dragonball Wiki
- Hi there. I noticed you're a member of Wikiproject Dragonball, and I'm trying to recruit some people from that to contribute to the Dragon Ball Wiki. It's in terrible shape right now with pretty much no consistency or policies, and only this week have I been able to get Angela and Sannse to create some Forums for us over there. I've got a proposed Manual of Style going over there and would like some people to contribute to that to set up some policies and start making the wiki bigger, better, and more intelligible/consistent. If you're interested, please hop on over or talk to me. Thanks for the time, whether you're interested or not. Wildyoda 02:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
