I need some help creating the section for Creatures and races. Do you think you could help? Thanks in advance! Taric25 16:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Currently, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars has two lists pertaining to it (List of characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). User:TTN decided it would be best to merge the lists into the main article and split Smithy Gang into those articles. I recently merged Smithy Gang into the list of chatacters by removing the non-notable characters, and I have asserted that a cameo section in the list of characters is valid, per Wikipedia:Trivia sections and Wikipedia:Handling trivia that uses Alex Trebek#Cameos as a good example. I have suggested that we rename the articles per Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves to something along the lines of Characters of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and World of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars or Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) just like Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and World of Final Fantasy VI or Gaia (Final Fantasy VII). I believe if these articles are to evolve beyond a non-notable list, they should be renamed. For example, List of Final Fantasy VII locations was merged into Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), because a World article is notable, but a simple list of locations is not. That is why there are other secions of the article to make it a World article. It simply has not been renamed yet.
TTN believes the citations in the development and reception sections of the list of locations, books and magazines, are trivial sources. When I added that the 3D perspective of the game is reminicent of Equinox to the main article, TTN removed it since my souce was "the opinions of the Nintendo Power player's guide writers". Although it was actually Nintendo Power magazine, I do believe a magazine is a reliable source, and I gave a page from Next Generation Magazine which also said the same thing. In addition, I was surprized that TTN said that it was from the players guide, since he claims to own the players guide for the game. He has not verified this, since I asked him for citations in May, "Could you look in the back of the Player's Guide and tell me what “types” of … Magic? I forgot what they call it in the game … well, anyways, what types of Special Attack or whatever it is (actually, could you find out what it's called?) there are? I remember some vaguely when I owned the guide like “Fire”, “Jump”, “Electricity?”, etc. Could you provide a citation, like the page number with a quote in context?" TTN replied that he was going to "get to it" (User talk:TTN/Archive 5#List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). TTN claims the player's guide is "at the bottom of a box that's behind at least five others in a cramped space". Seeing that TTN did not recognize that the page was not from the player's guide when I provided a scan of the page in question from Nintendo Power shocked me. However, I have continued to assume good faith by not questioning TTN's honesty.
Per Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change, I have offered five different reasonable, temporary compromises that might integrate my idea with TTN's.
  1. Go over the list of characters so we can delete non–notable characters
  2. Rename the articles by following the steps at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves.
  3. Cut down the geography section list of locations by cutting it into the regional maps the adventures use when traveling from one to another. I can get pictures and write the fair use rationals, and someone can cut down the text that has no citation and does not allude to other media.
  4. Write the concept and creation and reception sections for the list of characters
  5. Write the concept and creation section for the main article
TTN rejected my compromise because it still keeps the articles. I agreed I would consider a redirect, but Wikipedia:Article size does not allow that, since the list of locations is currently 82 KB long. Instead, I agreed to help cut down the geography section that is the bulk of the article, but TTN rejected that as well because TTN states, "I am not interested in working on the article in regards to improving it." and "get past this "having sources automatically means that this information is good" mentality." TTN states, "I don't think they have or will ever assert notability." I have replied with, "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so if you don't think the articles will ever assert notability, we cannot yet know this, per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#I don't like it.

[edit] Asbestos ref

In this edit you replaced a link to what you called a law site with a link to environmental chemistry. This is the website you said was a law site. I didn't realize it was a offering legal service until now, but I re-added the ref because I still think the source is reliable. Thanks, Xpanzion 05:42, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I know they are sites associated with law firms, the point I am trying to make is that some of their information is worthy of inclusion. For example, what is wrong with using their information on the history of asbestos? I'll be more careful with what I use, when I originally used those sites as references I did not realize they were associated with law firms.Xpanzion 15:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SV40

We might need your input on SV40 again. Thanks.--Filll (talk) 16:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:69.143.202.246. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Attacking an editor, even if this person is a vandal, is not acceptable here on Wikipedia. Whenever you see a high amount of vandalism on a page, simply request for the page to be protected. Never attack another person, no matter how badly their vandalize. If you have any questions, just read up on attacking and move on from there. DiverseMentality (talk) 03:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I could not agree more with the above comments. Boston2austin, please refrain from that in the future. Furthermore, please abide by the Wikipedia:Three-revert rule in the future. Failue to do so can result in being blocked from editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.201.247.20 (talk) 13:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey loser you vandalized the same page how many times over the last two years? Get a life. You're pathetic. Oh and sign your comments retard. Boston2austin (talk) 20:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

how do i sign my edits? i have never done that, but strangly enough, after a day or two some sort of bot puts in my IP... Also why do you continue to attack me personally?

You just don't get it do you? You have an addiction to vandalizing and manipulating content on Wikipedia and it's not funny at all. I love Wikipedia and when someone like you wants to destroy what I love, I have every right to make you feel my frustration. I don't care about Duncan, Oklahoma in fact I only came across the page while looking for someone I knew. I only began to take an interest in it when I read what was in the article and realized you had VANDALIZED THE PAGE OVER A PERIOD OF NEARLY TWO YEARS USING 3-4 IP addresses. I try to correct things especially cries for attention like yours and most of the time the vandal doesn't return. However given the sad and boring life you must live, you continue to vandalize the page as a desperate plea for attention that makes you look even more pitiful. You can read Wikipedia all you want but don't make another edit unless you plan on doing it in good faith. Boston2austin (talk) 22:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

"..destroy what I love.." wow, where to go from here.... i guess we are done here. i will say it one last time..... agree to disagree.

as far as the future goes, i will not stop poking fun at my old home town. but i will stop talking to you if you wish.

Well no problem I'll put in a protection request for Duncan for 6 months or so. BYE Boston2austin (talk) 01:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
