Hello Tedius, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;

If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela 06:38, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi Tedius, thanks for all your contributions so far. Just a reminder - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I think your article Intermission may be better placed at Wiktionary. Angela


Happy 24th birthday, Tedius! I see you're a fellow 1979 cohort and member of the Bittersweet Generation. Wiwaxia 03:45, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hi there,

Do you know if the scores you metnion on the film score page are synthesized or natural?

Thanks

[edit] Nintendo

Hi Tedius,

I removed an earlier bit on the name of Nintendo, but I see that you've restored it. The reason I removed it is that it is trivial, not relevant to anything in the article, and an tedious restatement of Japanese pronunciation and transliteration rules that would be in every single Japanese-related entry if some contributors had their way.

In addition, what you wrote is incorrect:

"The Hiragana spelling is Nintendou, for the o in Nintendo is lengthened in Japanese. The company name is rarely spelled Nintendou in English."

1) The hiragana spelling of the company name in Japanese is にんてんどう。 "Nintendou" is a romaji transliteration of にんてんどう.

2) The company name expressed in Roman characters is Nintendo, and that's the name of the company (not 任天堂) outside of Japan. Anything else in incorrect and is not worth mentioning.

Anyone who cares enough about the romaji representation of 任天堂 probably knows enough about Japanese that they don't need to be told about it here.

[edit] Reverse Piracy

As a heads up, Reverse Piracy, which appears to be one of your articles, has been listed for deletion. You may want to go debate the matter. Or not. Snowspinner 21:19, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Abbreviation Confusion

I've never heard anyone use "FFu" for Fatal Fury. For the first three games, either the name is used as a whole or the Japanese Garou Densetsu is used. First Contact is "FFFC", Fatal Fury Special is "FFS", and the rest of the games have "FF" omitted from its abbreviation (eg. RB1). Garou - Mark of the Wolves uses MOTW for its abbreviation.

In fighting game circles, it's commonplace (where I roam, anyways) to use "FFA" to denote Final Fantasy - FF refers to Fatal Fury in SNK forums and Final Fight in Capcom forums. kelvSYC 13:27, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] USF

Hey, nice, I didn't know there was a Nintendo 64 music file format in the workings. I absolutely love the music for a whole lot of N64 games, so this is great news. Fredrik (talk) 07:43, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dragon Quest

Strange things are happening at Dragon Quest. An anon has deleted most of the section "Regional record". Because the same IP also makes seemingly worthwhile contributions to the article, and i know nothing about the topic whatsoever, i didn't dare to revert. Because you too have contributed to the article recently, i thought it might be a good idea to bring that to your attention. Would you please have alook at it and correct it if necessary? all the best, Lady Tenar 10:46, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 19:10, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] List of people involved in working on the Final Fantasy series

Tedius, I've posted a rather lengthy... well... diatribe over on the talk page of the above article. Seeing as how the page seems to be your "baby," I wanted to get your input, and give you a chance to address some of my concerns, if you are so inclined. – Seancdaug 00:02, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

I created that page, because I surely feel that a list of notable people cannot be handled in the main Final Fantasy article. – Tedius Zanarukando 13:35, Apr 19, 2005 (EST)

[edit] Looking for help on a major wiki project

Hey man... I was wondering if you'd be interesting in helping out with www.Knowmore.org, a corporation search wiki we're trying to get off the ground. We could DEFINATELY use some people that know how to make a wiki community great & the site is almost a blank slate at this point. It's been heavily customized and is designed to help responsible consumers enter any product or company name and immediatly find information about that co. (the main focus of the wiki is corporate & political information in a much more specialized way then wikipedia currently offers) Let me know if you're interested! aim: knowmoreorg or bernard@knowmore.org

[edit] Redirects

If you make changes like the one on Flo Hyman, I suggest you also either move the article to the new name or make a redirect page like I did now (Flora Jean Hyman). Redirects not only help users find pages, they also decrease the likelihood of duplicate pages that have to be merged later. Rl 07:58, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

I often make redirects, especially when it comes to alternate names or common misspellings. I also do redirects based on Japanese transcriptions of video game titles and Japanese names of Japanese games released to North America or Europe. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 08:02, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:U.S. Southern wikipedians' notice board

I have now reopened the notice board, if you are interested in contributing new topics, or in nominating articles for the Collaboration of the Week, which also received a revamp. Please post on the project's talk page if you show interest. Mike H 02:50, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:33, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

I personally think that Tedius Zanarukando deserves to be an admin. He makes a large amount of edits, but he writes in an extremely tedious manner (look at his userpage for an example) and has not once contributed something worthwhile to a non-videogame related topic. Also, his personal views on women are scary, not to mention wrong for this day and age. Basically, a large amount of people think that he is either someone who runs a bot for all of his editing (due to his unresponse to many comments to him concerning his views on a variety of subjects) or someone who has been a complete failure at life, and can't get away from touching either a keyboard or playstation controller. I strongly suggest that his name be removed from the list of top editors, since (as the page says) a large amount of edits does not necessarily mean that a user is dedicated to improving Wikipedia.

I have been an editor at Wikipedia since July 2003. I do not run robots, and there are no robots in my house. I have never encountered a robot. I have contributed not only to videogame-related topics, but I also contributed to worthwhile topics related to visual entertainment (which includes film and television). I have contributed to more film related topics since the time I switched from fullscreen DVDs to widescreen DVDs. For the franchises I contributed to, Star Wars is original to motion pictures, while Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is original to comic books. I have been a big fan of Star Wars since the DVD release of the original trilogy. I grew up watching the old TMNT cartoon series, and I am curious about the new one as well as the Mirage Studios comic books. I am mainly dedicated to improving Wiktionary, and I have improved Wikipedia to some extent. As my user page says, I do not believe in romantic love. Intimate relationships are not my thing. Ten years ago, I was outright prejudiced against females. But that was then. Since I attended a predominately female college, my views toward women have changed. Unfortunately, my views toward women are clouded, due to moralistic religiopolitical movements, the American societal teachings, anti-male discrimination, high rates of divorce by wives, female oppression (i.e. in terms of women oppressing men), feminist ideology, female-on-male domestic violence (what I call "reverse domestic violence"), my parents and brothers being in a cult, and my past views toward women. My parents' church and the National Organization for Women have partly been responsible for clouding my views toward women. In the past, I received conflicting messages about women from that church.

[edit] Userpage

Care to explain the reasoning behind your anti-female pejorations (not a word, but whatever)? 24 at 16:12, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Listen, I have read that my country the United States is accused of being a female-supremacist country. The feminist movement has been accused of promoting female supremacy. I do not condone anti-male discrimination. The culture has been accused of conditioning males to feel bad about being male and using sexuality to sell everything. Contrary to the feminist claim, the male sex is clearly the disadvantage sex. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 04:38, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
No you're just sexist

[edit] hey Tedius

Man your story is empowering and i totally agree with you on the censorship with video games especially with the recent adults only rating on GTA:San Andreas.I love your articles and your views see you later Tedius Zanarukando..........--Kit fisto 02:12, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Kit fisto. That's great that you love my articles and views, especially when it comes to video games. That is a strong point right there. I am opposed to video game censorship, especially with the recent AO rerating on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Video game censorship has been an issue to the video game community and industry in recent years. The video game controversy article was originally two articles. I started the second article, and the first article was merged into second article. the second article which I started remains. Grand Theft Auto III is the video game that revived the video game controversy. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas made new history in that. My articles are mainly on role-playing video gaming. I am also a Star Wars fan just like you. I will see you again. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 04:23, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Feminism

Just curious, but, why do you hate feminism so badly? From your other characteristics, it would seem that you would support feminism. The Wookieepedian 06:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I am a masculist. I am strongly opposed to radical and separatist feminism. They are a threat to romantic love. I also condemn feminist propaganda. Radical feminism is an insult to the male sex, and it is not the way to go for women. Separatist feminism is not the way to go either. Contemporary feminism is considered an anti-male, anti-familial, and antiheterosexual doctrine. I stay away from sites that encourage feminism. Feminism puts the genders at odds. Men have suffered from the side effects of feminism. Divorced men have been suffering from the feminist-diseased familial courts. I believe that feminism has played a role in high divorce rates, alienation of or phobia between the genders, female supremacy, love-shyness, disintegrating communities, fatherless children, high school and college dropouts, drug addiction, consumerism, teenage pregnancy, male suicide, violent crime, video game censorship and vilification, road rage, and prisons overfilled with male inmates. I also fear women, because suffering female violence is found to be a ticket for men to go to prison. I believe female rule (or matriarchy) oppresses males. I do not support the belief that if human rulership was in female hands, wars would not occur. It is human temperament that allows wars to occur. Wars occur only if mentally unbalanced rulers are in control of a nation. My profile is not intended to be contradictory. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 06:57, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Well said. You've supported your opinion, which many don't, and that I can respect you for. My one question, however, is, couldn't male domination over women turn out just as bad? The Wookieepedian 20:33, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Feminism is not compatible with the notion of equality, contrary to what many believe. It undermines men's rights and the reputation of the male sex. It puts the genders at war, and it is ideological. Female domination over men is worse than vice versa. Feminism equals male crime. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 01:58, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey,

Regarding the Unseen/macross/Harmony Gold issue with BT. We're hanging fire on an entry till someone well informed can comment, the Counter-suit by Harmony Gold was settled out of court but the agreement was put under an NDA. It's been awkward to find out the details. It doesn't help that there are alot of rumors and misinformation flying round. For the momment, we'll leave your Macross entry up but the whole Macross issue will probably get it's own subcategory in due time.

[edit] Bahamut Lagoon character names

Hey Tedius Zanarukando, Concerning the characters in the Bahamut Lagoon article. What was your source for their names? Did you transliterate them yourself? A person, 151.199.93.164, was asking about it on the Bahamut Lagoon talk page. Thanks, Jecowa 01:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The character names are based on the fan translation by DeJap Translations. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 04:06, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I noticed that you started the Bahamut Lagoon article. That's awesome! I just added some more characters to the article and I was wondering if you would correct the errors I'ev made. I've only played this game through the first battle, and am unsure of what all the characters' English names are.
Also, I noticed that in the game you start out with three characters. I would like to play this game with two of my friends with each of us controlling one of the characters and his/her dragon. Could you please tell me if you keep these same three characters throughout the entire game? If you don't keep them, do you think Bahamut Lagoon would still be very playable as a three-player game? Thanks a lot, Jecowa 09:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Mind if I cut in and answer? Yes, you not only keep all three, you get more groups as you acquire more dragons - seven, in fact. Is there anything in Wikipedia conventions which would tell us whether or not the fan-translation of the game acts as the best source for naming? For one thing, "Zeen-head"? That may be how it's pronounced, but I'll wager it was meant to be "Twinhead", what it means. And some of these names allude to other things, like "Jormungand", the Migard serpent of Norse mythology, which is currently a nice, nonsensical "Yule Moongaurd". Is there any reason to believe that the fan translation crew didn't do as fine a job as possible? I've asked this in more detail on Bahamut Lagoon's discussion page; just wanted to alert you to it. --PrescitedEntity 06:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see; there is a thing about romanizing Japanese. Yet, again, some of these names have meaning which would be buried. I doubt they intended for any translation to have the dragon named "Zeen-head". BTW, have you read through Tomato's notes on his translation? I see no reason to deviate from his work. --PrescitedEntity 06:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not very sure what the rules are. I think there is a proposed standard at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)#Anime and manga. I don't think this is a rule yet. It doesn't refer to video games, but I think Japanese video games should be grouped with Japanese comic books and cartoons for rules like these. I've seen some people make posts saying that we're not to use the fan translation names, but I believe the fan translation is the most official translation we have for now, unless Square already has an transliteration in the Manual or somewhere. Maybe we'll see an English version of this game released on the Wii sometime. Concerning Tomato's notes, I haven't seen them and am not sure what they are. Could you please tell me where to find them? Thanks. Jecowa 16:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I found Tomato's notes. For those interested, here are Tomato's translation notes you'll have to unzip the file and open the file called "transnotes.txt." Sorry Mr. Zanarukando for using your talk page for this conversation. Jecowa 18:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
That is good that you found the fan translator's notes. Now, you do not need to use my talk page for this conversation. However, we need a translator to help expand the English article, using the Japanese article as a reference. We need to put in the descriptions of the characters as well.

[edit] Explanation of my dislikes

Job market threatening technology is the use or invention of technology, such as robots and artificial intelligence machines/software, that destroys jobs opportunities, rendering the jobs obsolete. The most prominent of them is speech recognition technology, which has destroyed the medical transcriptionist job. This practice is self-defeating, is like copyright-infringement and shoplifting, and is the dark side of technology. For this reason, technology can not only erase jobs, leaving people with nothing to provide materially for themselves or their family or community, and it may put the companies out of business and ultimately destroy the economy.

[edit] My views toward the female sex

This user has clouded views toward the female sex.




My views toward the female sex has been clouded and subverted by several factors. They include radical feminism, fundamentalism, certain laws, the laws representing the gender-unbalanced view of domestic violence, and gender differences that unflatteringly favor the female sex (especially when it comes to crime and the criminal justice system). Radical feminists can corrupt my views toward the female sex with just one swift stroke, and they are liars. The feminist claim is a preposterous lie. They are one of my worst enemies. Some of such differences were manipulated by legal force. Some news media and legislature (like VAWA) have also done that. Nowadays, the feminists want to alienate between the genders. I believe that the United States is a female chauvinistic country. The feminist movement has been accused of promoting female supremacy. I do not condone anti-male discrimination. The culture has been accused of conditioning males to feel bad about being male and using sexuality to sell everything. Contrary to the feminist claim, the male sex is clearly the disadvantage sex. When I was in high school about ten years ago, I was accused of harrassing my female classmate whom I was then attached to and had known since the age of 4, and I was threatened with expulsion from school because of that. Therefore, I have a Jekyll-and-Hyde type view toward the female sex.

One quote that has subverted my views toward the female sex is:

In fact, there are 27 risk factors rated higher than exposure to violent media, like socioeconomic status, academic failure, poor parent-child relations, weak social ties, and being male. Quick! Ban all the males! [3]

Having the male sex as a risk factor for violent crime has clouded my views toward the female sex. The feminist movement played a role of influencing the male sex to commit crimes. Before the rise of feminism, men committed far less violent crime. If it were not for feminism, the male prison population would have been more than 50% lower.

In recent years, the battle of the sexes has escalated into an outright, epic, and full-fledged gender war. This war has been playing out in the boardroom, the courtroom, the educational system, and the bedroom. The ultimate goal of feminists is to subvert the gender system and alienate between the genders.

Here is another quote that has clouded my views toward the female sex:[4]

1. Women are three times more likely than men to use weapons in spousal violence.
2. Women initiate most incidents of spousal violence.
3. Women commit most child abuse and most elder abuse.
4. Women hit their male children more frequently and more severely than they hit their female children.
5. Women commit most child murders and 64% of their victims are male children.
6. When women murder adults the majority of their victims are men.
7. Women commit 52% of spousal killings and are convicted of 41% of spousal murders.
8. Eighty two percent of the general population had their first experience of violence at the hands of women.

I will reject Super Smash Bros. Brawl if Lip makes it and neither Sigurd nor Ayra makes it in. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 05:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Lip is unique though I Agree she should not be added but her stick should remain as an item, Sigrud and Ayra have low chances because Sakurai the director said he is trying to appeal to an audience outside of Japan, those being japan only characters this reduces their chances. Guess who i am 00:12, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Lip is also Japan-only because of "Tetris A-Hack" (when Panel de Pon becomes Tetris Attack), although she was hinted and mentioned in Super Smash Bros. Melee. She is not very appealing to the western audience at all, compared to most other Japan-only characters. Not many western players will use her if she makes it in. That is why she has a low chance of being playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I agree that her stick should remain as an item. The item name "Lip's Stick" is a pun on the word "lipstick." However, with the success of Fire Emblem outside Japan, including the appearance of Marth and Roy in Melee, Sigurd does have a good chance of being playable in Brawl. If Lip's chances of being in Brawl are low, then I would not be requesting Ayra. I think that if Ayra gets to be playable in a Super Smash Bros. game, she would kill the most recognizable Nintendo characters. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 05:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

I reformatted your userboxes into an even more easier to manage form of wiki-table. Hope this helps. — Nathan (talk) / 17:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{User:UBX/masculismsupporter}}

Hi, I noticed you recently created the above template in my namespace. While I welcome the addition of userboxes to my directory at User:MiraLuka/Userboxes/Sexuality, I prefer that other users make templates in their own user space (for example, User:Tedius Zanarukando/Userboxes/User masculismsupporter). I'm not asking you to move it or anything, but please create future userboxes in your own user space, and feel free to add them to the listing I maintain. Furthermore, the use of categories in userboxes is controversial, and I urge you to remove the category you added to {{User:UBX/masculinist}}. —Mira 20:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy Adventure

Hi. I was just working on the Final Fantasy Adventure article and noticed in the edit history that you added the comment about the game having a working title of Gemma Knights. This is a very interesting fact, but where did you get the information? If you can give me the reference, I'll be glad to cite it for you. ~ Hibana 03:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. I found it. :) Thanks. ~ Hibana 03:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Virtual console facts on the Marth article?

I've knowticed you have typed that NOA is hiring translators for the virtual console, while some user added that a citation is needed, I still take what you typed into consideration and I hope you can cite your statement before it gets deleted soon.

Thanks for reading,

Samusfan80 17:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Here is a citation to back up my claims: http://www.nintendoplayers.com/article.php?articleID=326. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 02:36, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok thank you sir, now I will add this citation now. Samusfan80 16:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I am considering to reject Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I am considering to reject Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It has been found that my least favorite Nintendo character has a higher chance than my most favorite Nintendo character has. To make matters worse, some fans have sworn by Fire Emblem's Lord class. However, Masahiro Sakurai is considering Oguma from Marth's games to be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I would reject the game if my least favorite Nintendo character makes it in and my most favorite does not. I might also criticize the game for having Marth overnerfed or disgraced. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 06:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Roy was only implemented to boost FE6 sales in Japan, so don't be suprised if you see Sothe mingling with the "classics" to boost Goddess of Dawn sales. They should add Ashnard, he is a legend that can teach Ganondorf a thing or two. The Daein King 09:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Open matte edits

Hey Tedius, just wanted to let you know that I reverted your recent edits to the open matte article because I was unable to find substantial reference to "closed matte transfer" either online on in the literature. I was wondering if you might have a citation for it - as I remember, the term usually used to refer to a soft matte film which is letterboxed to the same matte is "original aspect ratio" (OAR). Please let me know if you have further information, though. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola 19:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate userbox "Final Fantasy series"

I've seen that you have created a new page User:Tedius Zanarukando/Userboxes/User Final Fantasy for your "borrowed" userbox. This duplicates the space on wikipedia for exactly the same userbox. There is also no need to list the same userbox twice in Wikipedia:Userboxes/Games#Favorite game. I suggest you remove your link from the list and delete your subpage. Instead you should copy and paste this code in User:Tedius Zanarukando/Userboxes#Borrowed Userboxes: {{[[User:Bisco/Userboxes/Final Fantasy series]]}} . This will also appear as link but without creating a duplicate page. Best regards ----Bisco 17:51, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Please forget everything I was writing above. I wasn't aware that duplicates in userspace are allowed. Best regards --Bisco 23:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why I don't believe in romantic love?

This user does not believe in romantic relationship.




Romantic love is unattainable and undesirable for me. I have clouded views toward the female sex. I would be a more responsible man if I had a wife. I fear the financial risks of divorce too much. 93% of divorces are initiated by women. Women no longer care about pleasing men, and that may be a tenet of radical feminist dogma. I was disappointed about the 1995 data from the Disease Control and Prevention.

Here is what I previously quoted from the section "I have clouded views toward the female sex."

  • 1. Women are three times more likely than men to use weapons in spousal violence.
  • 2. Women initiate most incidents of spousal violence.
  • 3. Women commit most child abuse and most elder abuse.
  • 4. Women hit their male children more frequently and more severely than they hit their female children.
  • 5. Women commit most child murders and 64% of their victims are male children.
  • 6. When women murder adults the majority of their victims are men.
  • 7. Women commit 52% of spousal killings and are convicted of 41% of spousal murders.
  • 8. Eighty two percent of the general population had their first experience of violence at the hands of women.

[edit] Kickero

I defer to your expertise on classical Latin pronunciation. I do wonder, though: what about Caesar? Was it pronounced Keeser? Cheeser? or Seize-her, as at present in English? --Christofurio 23:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

In Classical Latin, Caesar is pronounced "KIGH-suhr." --Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 00:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Like the German/Prussian term Kaiser? --Christofurio 02:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it is pronounced that way in Classical Latin. In Classical Latin, the letter c is always pronounced as k and never as s or sh, and ae is pronounced as i as in ice. --Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 07:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question about an on-line game

Thanks for the pronunciation lesson last month. I'm on another quest for knowledge this month. You seem to be familiar with online multiple player role-playing games. What about Ragnarok, from the South Korean company Gravity. Are you familiar with it? How would you rank/rate it? --Christofurio 04:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode article naming

Hiya, I noticed that you'd added some information back in February to the List of episodes page at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles[5]. This guideline is currently being re-discussed, so I am inviting you back to the discussion, to offer your opinion? It's being discussed both at Talk:List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) episodes and Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television), and your thoughts would be greatly appreciated at both locations, to indicate whether or not you prefer a consistent method of titling TMNT episodes, or a method of "disaambiguate only when needed." Thanks, --Elonka 23:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I prefer the consistent method of titling episodes of the 1987 and 2003 TMNT shows [ending the titles with "(TMNT 1987 episode)" and "(TMNT 2003 episode)" respectively], rathing than the "disambiguate only when needed" method. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 00:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. Since moves are ongoing at the TMNT categories, may I strongly recommend that you post your opinion in the above-linked discussions? Also, can you please tell me who else was involved in coming up with the naming convention? Or was it a decision that you made personally? --Elonka 00:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Courtesy note about ArbCom proceeding

Hiya, sorry to bother you, but I wanted to drop you a courtesy note to let you know about a current ArbCom proceeding where your name is briefly mentioned. If you are not familiar with ArbCom, please do not be alarmed. In real-world terms, this is sort of like stating that your name is being mentioned as one of the witnesses (or possibly even bystanders) to a case. ArbCom cases tend to be somewhat large and chaotic, but if you would like to watch the proceedings, you may wish to set Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Naming Conventions on your watchlist. Your own name is probably somewhere on the evidence page, or possibly at the workshop page. The case is currently in an "evidence-gathering" phase and has not yet reached the state of actual comment by arbitrators yet. My guess is it'll probably run for another month or so before a decision is finalized.

No action is needed on your part, this is just a courtesy note. If you would like to participate in the case though, you are more than welcome. You may wish to offer a statement with your view of events at the case's talkpage, or you can add evidence or participate in the workshop. Many editors routinely participate in ArbCom proceedings regardless of whether or not they are directly involved in the case, since ArbCom rulings are considered "binding" and may have ramifications in other parts of Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, let me know, or feel free to post at Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Naming Conventions. Best, Elonka 05:57, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I might participate in this case if I could. These events may be critical in some respects. We need to gather enough evidence before the case can be judged or finalized. Who is the judge? Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 18:33, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fanta Userboxes

I am making more fanta userboxes since more flavors have been made. [6]. Please see User:Bearly541/templates.Bearly541 05:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. The original Fanta userbox was of Fanta Orange. I created that and the Fanta Grape userbox. There are also Fanta Apple, Citrus, Black Cherry, and Peach. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 06:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pushing the "Lord's Prayer" as a language example tekst

Hello Tedius, In the Dutch Wiki I am having a really heavy fight on the removal of the "Lord's Prayer" as a language example. A couple of religious persons are not interested in motivation or real arguments (they don't have any). So a Moderator blocks me every time for something which is not in essence anti-Religious. I exchanged the prayer for the first 3 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In older fights I quoted a professor of history regarding a saint, also on the English Wiki I've added another view, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Saint_Boniface. I would like to learn your opinion on the use of "Lord's Prayer" as a "neutral" language example tekst. Cheers Bornestera 21:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I am not a user of the Dutch Wikipedia. I have little or no knowledge of the Dutch language. I am antireligious to an extent, but more exactly, antifundamentalist. However, I would accept "Lord's Prayer" as a "neutral" language example text. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 05:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply, though I find a prayer not a neutral example. Don't you think there should be a Wiki-wide standard for a neutral example tekst ? Bornestera 20:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Divisive userboxes

Hi Tedius Zanarukando, your many userboxes are very interesting and I learned a lot about you by reading them. I would like to inform you, if you weren't already informed, that divisive userboxes are a cause of controversy on Wikipedia and tend to be deleted. Quoting from Wikipedia:Userboxes/Design and construct#Content restrictions:

Simply: If content is not appropriate on a user page, it is not appropriate within userboxes.

Some of your userboxes that may be seen as divisive or inflammatory include the ones on Jehovah's Witnesses and "This user hates fundamentalism". I think your autobiographical paragraph about severing family ties paints a pretty good picture of your views, so the userboxes are largely redundant anyway. Userboxes like these, especially ones that others are using (I noticed this from someone else's page of userboxes), only give others cause to dislike or question your edits. I think everyone involved would be better off without them. Therefore, I ask you to consider stating your ideas in a more positive tone and rewording or blanking the divisive userboxes, or have them deleted via {{db-author}}. Thanks. P.S. I am not a Jehovah's Witness, nor do I know anyone who is. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-12 05:48Z

I was raised in a Jehovah's Witness household, and my immediate relatives know many of Jehovah's Witnesses. I have cut ties with my family, because I left Jehovah's Witnesses over media-related issues, and later for learned reasons (such as when I learned about nudism). By the end of 2007, I will have distanced myself from my family. Some of those userboxes are custom userboxes, which are those that are in neither template namespace nor user namespace. I am not intending a political campaign. I do not have a lust for power in any way. I will consider on rewording the userboxes to sound as positive as they can. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 06:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carmen Sandiego (film)

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Carmen Sandiego (film), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hi! I just wanted to inform you that your userbox User PS3 and X360 over Wii is 2 pixels too wide (242px, should be 240px). I suggest you change the width of the border to 1 instead of 2 to correct this problem. --MrStalker 10:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and make the change. Hope you don't mind. --MrStalker 12:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
