[edit] LTNS

Hiya Fractyl! Shiroi Hane 13:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Former Turks.

We dont need that section on the Turks article, its fine linking to the Before Crisis page, also do not add names to the characters, they do not have designated names. -- Psi edit 23:12, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary

Hello. Please remember to always provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy editing. Shiroi Hane 02:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Just reminding you that you've still only provided summaries for 3% of your edits. Shiroi Hane 17:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AncientGarurumon comments on Gabumon

your edits about AncientGarurumon on the Gabumon article are considered non-canon. Although the name would imply that Gabumon is a step for AcientGarurumon, all we have is an assumption. Such edits are discouraged throughout wikipedia. In addition, Gabumon is held to a higher quality of standard than most Digimon-related articles, as it serves as an Exemplary article, a guide for other similar articles, by Wikipedia:WikiProject Digimon Systems Update, making speculation even more excluded. Unless you can provide a source for your information your continued inserts of AncientGarurumon on Gabumon could be considered vandalism. Other than that your edits have been great, and I hope I haven't offended you. -- Ned Scott 04:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Actually, since I placed it with the "Digimon collectible card game and other games" paragraph, it shouldn't count as a act of vandal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fractyl (talk • contribs) 18:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikiproject

In an attempt to rebuild and strenghten the Yu-Gi-Oh! related Wikipedia communtiy, I am trying to re-start the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikiproject located here. Hope you join! Moe ε 00:02, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation

Could you give a precise citation for that lineart thing in Gabumon? Circeus 21:35, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

While I'm here, just thought I'd mention that I've added some notes to the Gabumon talk page on the subject. Shiroi Hane 17:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy XII voices

Regarding your additions on Hyo-sei and Masako Joh, do you have any sources on them? The same characters showing up again doesn't necessarily mean they will have the same voice actors, so I wanted to make sure on that. I haven't found anything that confirms it yet. --EmperorBrandon 02:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

  • That refers if either...
    • 1. The Seiyuu pased on.
    • 2. A long peroid of time like 5-7 years.

But if neither of those two have speakng roles, you can remove them.

Given that I don't see them listed in cast lists, they may not have speaking roles, so I'll go ahead and remove them for now. If you find any information to the contrary, feel free to edit them back though. --EmperorBrandon 20:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nigh/Nai & Mare/Mea

I'm done, anyway. You can have your translations. I'm not conceding anything--I'm just tired of fighting. Another edit war isn't good for my blood pressure. In fact, I'm going to go and remove that article from my Watchlist... jgp (T|C) 22:42, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah...I was in a bad mood those two days, and editing Wikipedia while in a bad mood was a bad idea. That edit war just wasn't worth it, and it's living proof that edit wars never resolve anything--I apologise for getting into that mess in the first place. No hard feelings. jgp (T|C) 03:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Abaranger

Regarding the etymology of "Bakuryuu" -- the Japanese word for "dinosaur", 恐竜 kyouryuu, includes the same ryuu as Bakuryuu, with the same kanji. Kyouryuu literally means "fright dragon". There's a similar etymology in English: dinosaur is a corruption of the Greek word deinosauros, meaning "terrible/stiff/masterly/skillful lizard". Since Abaranger is a dinosaur-themed series, not a dragon-themed one, it would make the most sense that whoever came up with the name "Bakuryuu" took the Japanese word for "dinosaur" and replaced the first kanji with something that sounds exciting. jgp (T|C) 18:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

About the mecha names--I'd prefer to at least keep the mecha names translated in their introductory phrase. I don't terribly mind them being untranslated in the rest of the page, just for the sake of brevity (i.e. because "Abaren'oh" is much shorter than "Riot Union King"). In other words, keep the introductory "Riot Union King (暴連王 アバレンオー Abaren'ō)" as it is, but feel free to use "Abaren'oh" throughout the rest of the article. jgp (T|C) 18:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Actally, I'm re-setting up "Name/Puns". My plan was to place "Abarenoh's name means 'Riot Union King'" there. That way, for those who wish to know the full-tranlation can look at "names & puns".

[edit] Hawkmon → Garudamon

I'm assuming it's from Savers. I thought it was Piyomon who went to Garudamon (But I've been trying to avoid the Japanese episodes, and just saw ep. 12 subbed a hour ago). Circeus 06:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, inless I am mistaken, the Savers line goes Piyomon → Aquilamon → Garudamon, right? While TheGarudamon evo certainly belongs in the Piyomon and Aquilamon articles, tehre is no indication that Hawkmon (which does not itself appear in Savers) could evolve to Garudamon, so for the sake of not being confusing, I'll remove it again, k'? Circeus 06:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
True, but as I see it, the Infobox should show offical EVOs shown on the anime. Because Aquilamon digivolved to Garudamon, it should by all rights be added to Hawkmon and his lower Evolutions.
Let me put this it this way: Elecmon is listed as a child in Garurumon, that's okay, but not in WereGarurumon, so why should Garudamon be in Hawkmon? I note it's also not in Poromon or Pururumon. Circeus 15:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Now that you mention it, we can do that too.
I believe that logic to be fundamentally flawed. I'm not reverting for now, but I have started a discussion at the project (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Digimon Systems Update#Where to use some evos). Feel free to come and participate. Circeus 22:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yadonoki Tower on FFX Spira

I have the picture Image:Besaidtower.jpg. But I have no idea where it is, except that it is in Besaid! Renmiri 04:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Precious, Negative, etc

Could you perhaps start working on a list of episodes for Boukenger by taking information out of the Precious list and Negative Syndicate descriptions to cut down on information in the other pages that will more than likely fit much better in an episode list?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I can try, but some descriptions should stay in out of importance.
    • It would be better if descriptions were about the item or character, and less about the episode itself.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
      • But you should detail the important events of the episode to tell what occured to item or character.

[edit] Task Titles

I have noticed you have yet again changed a Task Title (The Mercurius Vessel). I don't know where you got that title's translation from but I really believe that it was perfectly fine as it was. I would appreciate very much if, before making any major changes, you first went to the discussion page of each article and talked it over with the other regular editors... Filadelfo 00:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Those are subtitles by TV Nihhon(See you-tube), plus some titles are sensable.

[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 02:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

What did I do?
  • You have been deleting a lot of text without any explanation in the edit summary. It makes it appear like possible vandalism. Looking over your work, I believe your intentions are good. Please consider explaining what you are doing in the edit summary section. Also, please sign your posts on talk pages. --Kukini 02:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
    • This [1] is an example of the kind of edits to which I refer here. --Kukini 02:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~). --Kukini 02:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
      • I understand now, I'm not the type who dabbles in the rules, but I'll try and give it to heart. User: Fractyl

It's not a rule. As in...you're never going to be banned/otherwise-penalized for not filling in edit summaries. But it is good curtosy because it makes life a lot easier for other editors. For example, if you'd left an edit summary for edits such as this, then i'd go ahead and skip that edit when i'm going through the page history, since i know you've been wanting to change gender pronouns. It also means other editors are less likely to misunderstand your edits (especially potentially contraversial ones). Plus, if you ever need to go through your own contributions to look for a particular edit, believe me when i say you'll be very thankful that you bothered to leave edit summaries. --`/aksha 12:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gatomon and DNA digivolution

There's no plothole in Gatomon being able to DNA digivolve. Gatomon can DNA digivolve for the same reason Angemon was able to DNA digivolve - because they're champion level digimon.

The plothole is with Gatomon being able to armor digivolve. But in the english dub - this so-called 'plothole' was resolved by Genei explaining how Gatomon had its power reduced since it lost its tail ring.

However, power-reduced just meant Gatomon was now able to armor digivolve. It doesn't mean it was no longer a champion digimon. (Gatomon was still able to digivolve into Angewomon later in the series, before it got its tail ring back).

I have no idea what you mean when you say it's a japanese plothole. It doesn't make sense, and i've never heard of it either (if you look at the gatomon talk page, the plothole section is only talking about gatomon being able to armor digivolve). So provide a source for this, or i'm going to keep removing it as false information. --`/aksha 01:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

"japanese plothole" refered to the original version of the series at japan. Another plot device relation of Armor Digivolution is that "anicent" data were used in the creation of the original eight DD Digimon, which adds to how Gatomon & Patamon could use the Digimental power. User talk:Fractyl

umm...yeah, i know that. So what's the point? The plothole still has nothing to do with DNA digivolvtion. The point is, what people (logically) expect is:
1. that salamon and patamon can Armor digivolve (which wasn't true. Gatomon did the armor digivolving, hence a plothome) since they're the two rookies forms.
2. that gatomon and angemon could DNA digivolve (which is true, no plothole here) since they're the two champion forms. --`/aksha 01:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
True, but pointed out a fact that was present in both versions relating to DigiMentals: Only Ancient Digimon like Veemon (or possess the 'ancient 'data like Patamon) can use it. The info can also be quoted from Digimon V-Pet profiles. User talk:Fractyl
Yes, i know that. ANd it's irrelevant. I'm not talking about DigiMentals. We all know there was a bit of a complication with the gatomon (and even patamon) using digimentals. I'm talking about you claiming DNA digivolution was a plothole, as with [2]. --`/aksha 02:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] correcting pronouns in articles

On last thing - i don't mean to be a pain. but if you must correct pronouns in an article, make sure you do it properly. Doing a single ctrl+f for "it" and "its" would make sure you aren't missing any. --`/aksha 02:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feng Shui Fortune Telling...

The literally translated title is redundant in English. I understand 風水占いの罠 means "Trap of Feng-Shui Fortune Telling" but it's an awkward phrasing in English. Please, stop changing it back and forth, or I will have to protect the page.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to the Den-O series

A couple of tips, before you proceed to edit these articles.

Try using an edit summary so users will know what you are doing.

Always preview your edits for spelling, grammar, and other things located in the common sense department.

More specifically, don't remove the word Imagin after Momotaros, as it helps clarify what it actually is. It is an Imagin, and its name is Momotaros. I know its different from the other Imagin who specifically have Imagin after their name, but there still needs to be some distinguishing from just a random noun. Floria L 00:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that last part, you're right. We shouldn't stick Imagin after Momotaros. Keep the other two things in mind however. Thanks. Floria L 00:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translations

Please do not use "Rinjuuken," "Rinjuuden," "Gekijuuken," and whatnot in the text, unless it's romaji. We do not know how the words are being translated yet, and we will very unlikely get a transliteration as much as a translation. Please use "Confrontation Beast-Fist", "Confrontation Beast Hall," and "Fierce Beast-Fist." Unless it is in kana, it should be translated.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop with the changes to "Juuken" and the like. For starters, the use of the kanji "獣拳" is not a pun. And while it is read as "Jūken" it is translated as "Beast-Fist" and translating it looks more professional than transliterating it. We translate "Bakuryuu" into "Blastasaur" among other translations. And using the improper romaji ("juuken" instead of "jūken") also makes the page unprofessional. We don't know what the series' title is in romaji from Toei or Bandai, which is why I have {{PAGENAME}} used throughout the article whenever the title of the series is supposed to be. If something comes out and they don't refer to it as "Beast-Fist" in English, then we'll leave it solely transliterated.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

As a courtesy to other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your posts on talk pages, user talk pages, and WikiProject pages. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info, read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

You are typing in four of them? That way the post gets timestamped.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abarenger

Your nicknames are not right. The kana is nothing like what you're trying to say the nicknames are. The dialogue pronounciation matches the kana. Very clearly.Angel the Techrat 19:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Brachiosaurus is refered to as "Brakio" on the show, I don't know kana, but it doesn't match the actual names said. User:Fractyl
    • Perhapse you should make sure you're not just missing the last half of the full name Brachiosaurus.Angel the Techrat 21:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
      • I'm sure, it's Brakio. Had you even watched it, to ask? Fractyl
        • Yes. And it's either bu-ra-ki-o-sa-u-ru-su or just bu-ra. Kana is completely phonetic. They spell it just like they say it.Angel the Techrat 21:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
        • Well, I heard Asuka and other say "bu-ra-ki-o-" Fractyl

[edit] "Gyuuya," monster descriptions, etc

Could you please use Hepburn romaji (using macrons) when writing about series and whatnot? It's the manual of style for Japanese articles. Also, while the monster descriptions are good, it's not really entirely necessary to use a monster's description as an episode summary, as has happened with Negative Syndicate and is starting with Gekiranger. List of Jūken Sentai Gekiranger episodes was developed to avoid this massive list effect in the monster descriptions.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese

PLEASE STOP CHANGING ENGLISH TO JAPANESE AT THE GEKIRANGER ARTICLE! I'm getting extremely tired in finding that there have been changes from English into Japanese after there was so much hard work in translating them in the first place. Please discuss such changes on the talk page before you do them. Or bring something up at WT:TOKU concerning the translation.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 08:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

This is your last request from me concerning this: STOP UNTRANSLATING THE GEKIWAZA—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 18:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fullmetal Alchemist

I just noticed your edit to Episode 37 of Fullmetal Alchemist. However, your changes to that episode's title is unneccessary as not only is the previous version the correct one as I have my DVD to prove it but also it unintentionally caused it to become of broken link so could you please not revert it back. -Adv193 21:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Well there is a trivia note relating to this on episode 37's page. -Adv193 02:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gekiranger

Need help in convincing Ryulong in keeping some words in japanese and use the "word-word" formula. Fractyl

By word-word, do you mean the Gekiwaza? Such as Hō-Hō Dan? —Floria L 14:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
"Hō-Hō Dan" or "Gun-Gun Bullet", depends on accurate translation. I also refered to terms like Geki, Rinki, & Ringi. Fractyl

[edit] Koshiva?

No, Fractyl, we are using the official name given by Square Enix, not directly translated names that constitute fancruft. Bluerです。 なにか? 17:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Separate FFXII Profiles

Aw, please don't be mad. Sooner of later, there will be Characters of Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings article should there be a whole slew of information out soon. Individual pages might constitute the usual in-universe perspective, lacks out of universe perspectives that were outlined in the Wikipedia Manual of Style for writing fiction. And besides, we also have Wikia Final Fantasy, and there are separate character pages for them there. That should be enough :D . Besides, is it so pressing to have separate character articles, when the main list can still be expanded? This was discussed here, too. Bluerです。 なにか? 03:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't need your forgiveness, I haven't done anything wrong :D . Besides, is it so pressing to have separate character articles, when the main list can still be expanded? You may also want to READ the Wikipedia Manual of Style for writing fiction. Esper section will not be restored, it's mostly trivial, READ WP:TRIVIA. This was discussed here, too. Bluerです。 なにか? 04:06, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
No fault done, that's obvious :D . As for the case of Vayne, if you had been reading; I created Vayne's page to remove the in-universe info that was in the character page. But I learn that Wikipedia limits in-universe info. That was the point of the redirect anyway. And if you notice, the Japanese Wikipedia doesn't have articles like this (the Japanese created FFXII, strange they wouldn't have a separate article on the characters, with all that information). I've said my point. We'll continue discussions here. Bluerです。 なにか? 04:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SIGNATURE

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! JPG-GR 19:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling/Grammatical errors

Please, Fractyl, watch what you type. If you are not from an English speaking country, please forgive me, but it would be better if you had a higher level of fluency to avoid grammatical errors or just awkward phrasing.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gekiranger

Please do not add Dukemon's rumors onto Wikipedia. He's barely ever right about these things.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Imagin Genders

You sure they are male? Source? Floria L 22:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episode summaries

Despite the fact I lengthened episode summaries, they still need to be terse and to the point. Expansions such at these get to the point where it is almost a copyright violation. We need to keep things at the length I had them at and to the point, and whatever is important for the plot of that arc is to be written about. We don't need to get too detailed. That's why it's a summary.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:52, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I guess I understand, I'll try not to go that far. Fractyl 00:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TV-Nihon

Please do not solely rely on their translations.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't solely rely on Tv-Nihon, I come to my own conclusions from experience. Fractyl

[edit] Zeronos stuff

As usual, sources please.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

    • Action Series 09 ZeroLiner Drill
    • Action Series 10 ZeroLiner Naginata

Fractyl 20:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Stop adding him to cast lists, and whatnot. We don't know if he's Airi's fiance; we only know that Ryotaro identified the mysterious man as Sakurai.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 17:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

While there is his name on the tv asahi site, it's not "Ryuto." That first kanji doesn't spell that in any way.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Summaries

Keep them concise. You doubled the length of the ones I wrote for the last two episodes because I did not include unnecessary details (the summaries I wrote were from the raws and were not complicated by information from the subs).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I was attempting to perfect summaries, I re-add the necessary ones. Fractyl 01:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie stuff

We're relying mostly on print sources. What happens in trailers is all speculative, as we don't know the real context of the clips within.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Movie specific plot points stay in Kamen Rider Den-O: I am Born!—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
But the Movie specific plot points were seen in the episodes already. Fractyl 07:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Imagin

Keep everything concise and to the point.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I am trying too do that, hence a few edits of errors I noticed. Fractyl 22:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I have cut everything down to what it originally was. The most that should be added in any of these descriptions is the weapon used, the wish, the target in the past, and who it was defeated by. No extraneous plot detailing.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Language

Please tell me what language you were brought up speaking.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, english. But I am doing my best in perfecting myself. Fractyl 01:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Okay...—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Puns

Unless you can source "puns" from their respective websites, you can't just say what you believe as a pun. Floria L 16:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maku/Gou

Unless you have a scan that says "MAKU" or "GOU" in Japanese, pictures mean nothing.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fang King --> Gao

Please show me why you are mass changing this.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 09:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Well, one reason is the fact that its meant to be a archic japanese name to go with Gao's background. Fractyl 09:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
    • But is the character from the Edo period? "Gao" is an unusual transcription for Gaō, unlike "Ryotaro" for Ryōtarō and "Yuto" for Yūto.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 09:44, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
      • Well, his attire is feudal japanese in nature. Plus is the fact that GaohLiner is placed in the Warring States Era. Fractyl 09:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
        • I'm still not sure at this point as to whether we should treat it as his given name or simply a title he gave himself (and keep the conversation here).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 09:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Summaries

Stop adding excessive detail to the episode summaries. Only add if there's something you think that I missed in watching the raws.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

  • I do, there were a few flaws you missed on that subs. Fractyl 21:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Like?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
      • First, there is Rio's failure in the Sanzansen and how Kageki is not a easy thing to master as the Master Triangle explained. Also, the nature of the contests. Fractyl 21:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
        • Stop adding unnecessary minutiae into the summaries. It is not necessary to expand anything beyond two additional sentences.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
          • I can tell you stop removing the correct info on the summaries, but I'm condensing the info as best as I can. Fractyl 01:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
            • I know it's correct, but there's too much. Focus on major details and plot important details.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
            • I can try. Fractyl 01:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just something to note

Can you please run a spellchecker before you save a page? I've been seeing a lot of automatic edits to pages that we both edit, correcting a handful of simple spelling errors. I use Google Toolbar's spellchecker to go over what I can (ignoring the esoteric terms/names). Could you start doing the same?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I can try, but i have a bit of a issue at my end right now. Fractyl 12:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DenLiner/ZeroLiner

Please, when referring to either train, use "the DenLiner" or "the ZeroLiner" and not "Denliner" or "Zeroliner." This is the proper way to refer to an inanimate object with a proper name.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:07, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nanai Nanase Barrier

I am finding nothing even close to that name anywhere online. I'm not even finding "なないななせせき" in conjunction with Gekiranger. Do you have a source?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

None yet, but I do see that the term revolves around "Nana" or seven. Fractyl 04:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Please leave Brusa Ee out for now.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:56, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Please don't use "Brusai-E" as that's not how the name can be transliterated. I understand that you're incorporating "Sai" but the middle dot separates the first name and last name and it doesn't work with the way that Bruce Lee (ブルース・リー Burūsu Rī?) is written in Japanese.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:06, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm seeing a lot of mispellings of "Fierce" and "Destroy" on your end (seems to be the only two). Could you keep an eye on when you type these?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:26, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maleficent

Is it honestly too much to follow WP:NOR or WP:V? Don't add her without a reliable source again. ' 13:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fannish

Except it wasn't just Final Mix information. You're adding excessive detail that doesn't flow. ' 13:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

But you disposed of the "Final Mix" stuff (Like Axel becoming a rouge, and Xemnas giving Saix the order to take Kairi.) Fractyl 16:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Power Animal Deletion review

Unless if you can add a summary of your thoughts to your vote in the deletion review then there is a chance your vote won't count when the time has expired since a deletion review ends in a consensus rather than a democratic vote which I had seen before in other deletion reviews. -Adv193 08:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phantom Beast-Fist

Hi, sorry to be nitpicky about this, but you seem to be misunderstanding the line about the "philosophy". Let me know if you want to talk about it, or we can just leave it. --Egocentrism04 17:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Not really, Long's wording seems to be like, "You've already surpassed human abilties. And now, you have surpass the power of beasts". Fractyl 18:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spellcheck?

I think you're doing a great job with writing episode summaries and stuff, but would you mind running a spellcheck after writing long paragraphs? I know it's easy to make mistakes when you're writing that much, but spelling errors can sometimes make the articles really hard to read. Thanks!!! --Egocentrism04 01:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geki vs Bouken

The movie Nei-Nei! Hou-Hou! Hong Kong Great Decisive Match is not a special. It is a movie and was shown in theaters. Gekiranger vs Boukenger is also not really a special but a DVD release. It is never shown on TV first. Please do not associate the two, again, as "Specials."—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:04, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

But the term "special" refers to the fact they both occured out of the TV series. Fractyl (talk) 02:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Those generaly termed as "Specials" in japanese series are televised episodes that, for whatever reason, are not numbered in with the standard episodes. Neither of those aired on TV. Neither is a "special", as the term is generaly applied. Angel the Techrat 05:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Orgs

Subtitles or not, it is not necessary to have that much detail on minor characters. Leave them at a line-a-piece.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I have made up my mind on this again. There is too much detail on such minor characters. A line is more than necessary for any description or summary for its place in the episode.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
I'll try to shorten more, but don't remove the data that is nessary. Fractyl (talk) 08:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spellcheck

Please run a spellcheck before you submit edits. I went through the Org article and found a lot of minor errors, and even to the subject matter (mostly missing letters every so often). Please paste the text into Microsoft Word or whatever word processor you use and run the spellchecker there, or use Google Toolbar's spellchecker (oh, and I saw "Gekiranger" a couple of times in the article, too).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 10:42, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

As an aside, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger currently has more content on the villains than the heroes. Could you try to either expand on the heroes' biographies or cut down on the villains' biographies?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 10:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jakanja

Fractyl, we do not need an article just for Jakanja nor do we need ten thousand characters of information just on the monsters of the day. The most we need is a list except for the major players in the group.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

  • But many of those minor players play a part to move the story, like the Fangaru and Madogi. Fractyl (talk) 22:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Maleficent, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Collectonian (talk) 22:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kiva

Nothing is known officially about the support monsters. There has been nothing stated that supports what you added, other than what Dukemon reads from the various sources he has. Until something shows up in a scan that is accessible over the internet, or when the character appears in the show, there should be nothing stated that isn't supported.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The same goes for Go-onger. The various character biographies were not supported.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Pictures just of the character do not serve a purpose unless there is accompanying text more than just a catchphrase.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Stop using "Go-On." There is nothing from the official materials that say that the O in "On" is capitalized.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 09:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Stop moving the Koji Seto references. It can work in the synopsis, and makes the page look more professional.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Banki

Do not romanicize unless its mentioned in an actual Japanese source that shows that name in Latin letters. Always translate kanji, unless it's a personal name.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Garuru Form

Hold off on it until we get something more concrete than a pretty picture.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Episode references

Please do remember to update the references for Kiva/Geki/Go-onger episodes, as they are placed in the "template" for new entries for a reason, as such to make it easier to update them. The "official preview" pages only last until the end of the initial airing of the episode, and they break. I know this didn't happen very often last year, so we need to do it this year.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 09:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jungle Tonfa

They are never stated to be so. Yes, they appear to be the same weapon, but unless it's specifically stated that the Bo is an alternate version of the Tonfa, we cannot say that they are. As far as the Wikipedia article is concerned, the two weapons are completely unrelated because that is what the show has indicated. Rmssw (talk) 13:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

They are never stated to be the Jungle Tonfa and the Bo is never stated to be an alternate form of the Tonfa. It is never said that what the Yellow Ranger uses are ever intended to be Tonfa. The ONLY thing they are said and shown to be are the Jungle Bo. Saying otherwise is speculation and cannot be added to the article. Rmssw (talk) 18:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

It was still NEVER stated that the two pieces of the Bo that appeared when Lily called on her weapon were intended to be Tonfa. Yes, we saw that they were the same design of Theo's Tonfa, but they were never said to be Tonfa, nor were we led believe that Lily would ever use them as Tonfa. Again, as far as we saw from the first episode, they are ONLY intended to be combined into the Bo, therefore stating that they are also Tonfa would be speculation. I have started a formal discussion of this on the Jungle Fury article's discussion page. If you have any concerns, address them there so everyone can see and offer their own opinions should they have any. Rmssw (talk) 02:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Youtube

Hello. I want to know if you are the same Fractyl from Youtube. Here is a link to the channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/fractyl. Mythdon (talk) 07:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so, just a coincidence. Fractyl (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer. Mythdon (talk) 22:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Username meaning

What is your usernames meaning?. Mythdon (talk) 03:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

It just came to me. Fractyl (talk) 19:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Character biographies

Please do not use character biographies as series summaries. That is what has made Kamen Rider Kabuto (character) and other articles from earlier series large and unwieldy.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Some stuff.

Wow, your talk page sure is dominated by Ryulong. Creepy.

Anyway. Perhaps you've seen my idea? I'd like some thoughts on this from people in the project. Dragondragon hasn't said a word since the last time I suggested it, so if some other people backed me up, it might actually work. Howa0082 (talk) 16:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Destory"

Please watch your spelling. Just check over your edit window before you save. This is the most prevalent error I see from you. You're a great editor, but these grammatical and spelling errors get to be too large.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Undead (Kamen Rider)

I have nominated Undead (Kamen Rider), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Undead (Kamen Rider). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Collectonian (talk) 14:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanx

Oi! This is Reige. I just wanted to say thanx on Kamen Rider Blade character articles, in bringing them back up to speed again. It took a lot of time to get that info just to be deleted like it was before. But again I say thank you...I've been really busy and lazy with updating them myself. (^_^) Reige (talk) 14:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Kamen Rider Blade

Every time that I work on this template, you seem to change the colors of the larger suits on the left side. Those are meant to be the colors of the actual suits and not the Blade Riders.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't think the actual suit colors should be used there. Fractyl (talk) 12:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Garren and Leangle

I updated their pages with info relating to their SIC-exclusive King Forms. Fractyl (talk) 03:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't know their was a SIC "King Form" for Leangle. I saw the cool-ass custom Jack Form Leangle, but not the King Form.Reige (talk) 11:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:PRJF

I'm only updating the profiles. Besides you can't really use "overthrow" in Jellica's profile as she "replaces him", a overthrow is "a change in government, often achieved by force or through a coup". But I can accept it in Grizzaka's case once his profile is set up. Fractyl (talk) 02:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

  • That's precisely what Camille's intentions were when she revived Jellica. She was overthrowing Carnisoar because his tactics were ruthless and set Dai Shi against her. It doesn't matter what actually happened afterwards. The only reason Jellica was revived was to overthrow Carnisoar. As for updating the profiles, that's fine, but things really should be kept to a minimum in the main article. Only the most important facts should be added. Other facts should be reserved for the dedicated villains article, should there ever be one. Rmssw (talk) 02:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Not really, you can't "overthrow" is too stong a word to use, but Camille did intend to replace him with Jellica. Besides, overthrow means a "total takeover", Carnisoar remained a equal to Jellica as both support Dai Shi by evoking the Shadow Guards so he can use their teachings

in his fight. Fractyl (talk) 02:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

      • What matters is what Camille intended when she revived him. Camille intended to overthrow Carnisoar. What happened after doesn't matter in regards to what should be put in the article. We are stating why Jellica was revived. She was revived to overthrow Carnisoar. It didn't happen that way (which the article now states, as well), but it still needs to be there since it explains the only reason Jellica is there at all. Rmssw (talk) 09:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Checkmate Four

It is much simpler to put them under "guest actor" as we'll end up re-ordering the footnotes each time there's a new member of the Checkmate Four featured. Seeing as they're only semi-regular players, it's easier to put them listed under "guest stars."—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:08, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
