[edit] Characters of Final Fantasy III

I think we've had consensus to merge this article to the two FFIII games for over a year, so let's do it. I'm a little overwhelmed with how to do it, and where to redirect this article to. Probably the original game, right? Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the original game. I think I had said something about the Nintendo DS version article but it was before it became GA (there were no Characters section yet, not there is). The Characters article can probably just be merged/redirected to the original game article now. I think the less important characters should be mentioned in the Story section rather than the Characters section though. Kariteh (talk) 07:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey apparently your the person who called me on the ffIII change so I've just come to justify that change. Both the final fantasy I and II articles say nintendo entertainment system but in the final fantasy III article nintendo family computer is used instead. I believed this inconsistency was confusing and so changed it and had no intention on vandalising the article. If you feel the nintendo family computer is the more accurate term being it the name of the japanese version of the console may I suggest you modify the final fantasy I and II articles just for the purposes of clarity as I was some what confused when I saw the change in name of the platform in the final fantasy III article, such a modification I feel is necessary to avoid this confusion to either the final fantasy III article or the final fantasy I and final fantasy II articles. --Hybrid360 (talk) 21:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The Famicom (full name Nintendo Family Computer) is the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Since this is the English language Wikipedia, "Nintendo Entertainment System" can be used as a general name when we're speaking about all versions of the console. But when an article refers to the Japanese version of the console exclusively, we're kind of forced to use Famicom. Kariteh (talk) 21:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I thought this might be the case as to why it would be more accurate but if thats the case for the final fantasy III article shouldn't the final fantasy II article be edited as like ffIII the game was never originally released outside japan on the nintendo entertainment system but the article still states it was released on the nintendo entertainment system. So as in final fantasy III's case wouldn't nintendo family computer be more accurate? --Hybrid360 (talk) 21:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Good catch, I didn't notice it. I've changed Nintendo Entertainment System to Nintendo Family Computer in the Final Fantasy II article now. Kariteh (talk) 21:44, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok thanks, it's good to know that that has got sorted out then --Hybrid360 (talk) 21:50, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:World Destruction logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:World Destruction logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

[edit] Yoshitaka Amano

The delisting procedures say that anyone can delist an article if it is clear that the article does not meet the Good Article criteria anymore. Sending it to GAR is not required before a delisting. If you disagree, you can take it to GAR for relisting. To clarify this, I've also left a note at Wikipedia talk:Good article reassessment#Delisting about the situation, as I'm curious as to whether people are allowed to just revert a delisting if they disagree, and to confirm that I followed the correct procedures. Until they say otherwise, however, please let the delistings stand. Collectonian (talk) 00:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I won't take it to GAR for relisting since from the start I agreed with you. It's just that I saw Juhachi's edits on Air (visual novel) and I thought the reviewing and discussion were mandatory procedures; apparently they're not. Sorry about that. Kariteh (talk) 07:53, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] On the Okami Wii image..

You tagged it with {{watermark}} which implies that the image was taken from site with the watermark added by the site. In this case, while there is a watermark on the image, this is the image on the actual cover (the cover image I got being from Amazon); the IGN watermark was a snafu that is discussed on the article itself in that an image from IGN (with its watermark) was pulled into the cover image, leaving the IGN watermark in place. The intent of the watermark tag is for a very different use, and in this case, it does not apply here (while Capcom is releasing a IGN -watermark free cover image, the IGN watermark-containing version of the cover is necessary to keep per this event). --MASEM 06:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia anyone can edit! I noticed that you have been having an 'edit war' over at the Koopa Troopa article. Wikipedia values your contributions to this one-of-a-kind project, but we have strict rules that we take very seriously to ensure that the quality of the project is not diminished by individual users. Reverting an article (that is, changing the article from the present version to an older version) is at times needed and appreciated, but other times can be dangerous. The dangerous times comes after the same article has been reverted three times by the same user in a short amount of time. As evident from the history at Koopa Troopa, you have been participating in an 'edit war' by reverting the article constantly. Please stop reverting the article and discuss your proposed changes on the article's talk page instead of 'bullying' your point of view with reversion. Thank you, Ask D.N.A.- Peter Napkin (talk) 23:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC) p.s. If you have any questions regarding how Wikipedia works and the many rules involved in editing, feel free to drop me a message at my talk page.

[edit] Oy vey...

Pretty much all there is about the character's design influences in there has been mentioned there, short of comparing the character to the band and Roxy to a nightclub reference related to them, but that'd be pain enough to work in. Capcom just doesn't publish much material at all regarding character design process in even the All About books. As for the forum post, last I check if a designer himself is being referenced and is the original poster of material (thus serving as an official source) such as the case with that thread, can't it count as a valid reference? (Also to note the article itself only uses the one reference of this sort...as far as I know).--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Um

Please do not wikistalk me as you did when you noticed my creation of the tromboner redirect. Also, please assume good faith, a tried and true wikipedia concept. Tromboner is a simple typo of trombone, and has been referenced as one in many televisions show. As you have undoubtedly seen from my edit history, I have been making multiple redirects to articles based upon typos of the article's name. So, in the future, please assume good faith before you get all crazy and accuse me of vandalism. I know you spend a lot of time patrolling video game articles and deal with a lot of new editors, but I know what I'm doing and it has a purpose. Thank you.

I'm not entirely sure what to say, beyond "Thank you." Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 05:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Appreciate it!

Thanks for taking the initiative and merging the new content into those Final Fantasy articles. I figured that if I plopped the information in the most relevant place someone smarter than I would make sure it went where it needed to go :D --jonny-m t 08:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy XI

I'm not trying to blow smoke up your nose or be difficult, but.. I know what I'm talking about when I say it's official. I'm not just going to say that and plaster it as such. If it will help ease your jumping the gun on calling me wrong, I can have Matt Hilton of Square-Enix confirm that the listing here makes it such. Both FFXIclopedia and Allakhazam are annually invited to their Fan Festival and the Premier Site Summit(not open to the public) for media coverage. --Charitwo ^talk 12:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from reverting without comment and POV pushing whilst ignoring and refusing to comment on talk page messages, it is not your place to decide that Square-Enix's wiki is unofficial. If you have problems, I suggest you contact Square-Enix directly. --Charitwo ^talk 15:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spamming?

I avoided posting external links so that I would not receive a message similar to yours. I would appreciate it if you did not accuse me of spamming Wikipedia. It actually intimidates me to the point of considering not to post at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.55.191 (talk) 02:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Characters of Kingdom Hearts

The reason I removed that link was because the information that was citing it was not actually supported by it. After some research, I discovered that the link that supports it was actually this one http://www.kingdomhearts3.net/scenario-mysteries-interview/. GuardianAcorn (talk) 15:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Try to put an edit summary though next time. Kariteh (talk) 16:23, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, don't be. I simply didn't realize that it was necessary. I suppose I should read up more on the help pages. Thanks for the welcome message. GuardianAcorn (talk) 16:32, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fire Emblem: Monshou No Nazo Character List

I am currently making a page in the same vein of the Seisen no Keifu, Fuuin no Tsurugi character Pages (In short, expanding as it's said above...). So please understand why I had to delete the redirecting of the character page. N J B

Please take the page to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion if you want to delete it, because you can't (physically as well as guidelinewise) delete it by blanking it. Kariteh (talk) 14:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dragon quest swords

Thanks for being lenient; I'm pretty new to wikipedia. I just thought that the final boss should be at the BEGINING of a spioler. take DQ 6 for example, yes it has a pic of deathmoore, but only his first form and after the plot blurb. If just moving it would be better, please let me know(Fossilgojira (talk) 20:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC))

Thanks! (Fossilgojira (talk) 21:14, 24 May 2008 (UTC))

[edit] TP page

Okay, the anon's I keep having to revert on the TP page keep claiming that the source is Nintendoview, but won't give me the link that I asked for. However, I can't find any possible results for the page through a google search, or even searching the interview text they quoted. Have you ever heard of "NintendoView"?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 21:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Never heard of it. Seems like it's a dead Dutch fansite or something, and I can't find any information at the IA Wayback Machine. The information is either bogus or somehow managed to be exclusive to that non-reliable source, but the IP doesn't seem to understand that we can't do anything without a link... Kariteh (talk) 22:11, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Since at one point they tried to claim that "Ok severall of the poeple against you said Nintendosview as the source i mean its a well known site and has every interview for every Nintendo game.", when it's fairly obvious it's just the one person changing their IP, are we allowed to report them for alleged sockpuppetry? Or at the very least, get a temporary semi-protect? I don't want to keep "discussing" this with them, because I'm just going to end up being rude and getting in trouble for personal attacks myself.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 02:32, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't really know what's best. Sockpuppetry cases often take several weeks to get even a first reply though, so it's probably not ideal. You might want to contact an admin if the disruption continues. Kariteh (talk) 10:51, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

(Well you're already done it.) Kariteh (talk) 10:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree but kariteh one thing i dont get....y do u keep erasing the stuff that one guy keeps putting on the Midna and Ilia page? Sounds fair and right "Many Zelda fans belive that Midna/Ilia and Link are in love this however has not been decided." Ya it doesnt have a website source but you dont need a website source for this type of thing a website wont show unless you count as he said youtube videos. I think we can all agree that there are people who think Midna and Link are in love and people who think Ilia and Link are in love. plz answerThetriforcehero (talk) 23:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Austin

All contents must be sourced with a reliable source (and YouTube isn't considered "reliable" since everyone can do anything one it), that's not even my fault if it's that way, Erik. Kariteh (talk) 05:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

M8 im not any of those guys notice im against the Midna stuff they say. And do u have any idea where you can find a reliable site where it can tell you the opinions of fans because i cant make a site that say "All Zelda fans feel this way" cause im not all the Zelda fans69.237.93.250 (talk) 23:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Austin

I'm really being tempted to say that TTH is another sockpuppet, as he's using the same method, basically the same arguments, and is inserting the same "information" on both this and the TP game page (Oh, and he, like Darkest Link and the IP's, signs his post's as "Austin"). However, since such accusations are quite serious, and as it looks like he'll just get blocked for the same behavior, I wonder if I should formally say anything. What do you think?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 04:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Mmh, he'll get blocked but he openly stated in an edit summary that he won't stop... The evidence for him using sockpuppets is quite solid, and it's getting very disruptive so yeah filing a sockpuppettry case could be efficient (might still take a long time though).

Something funny I thought you'd enjoy, from a post to the Midna talk page:

But just to humor you:

[edit] Aki Ross

I tagged it for cleanup because there's a few parts that are unreferenced. Probably not the most suitable tag. It just needs more editors on it, hence why I tagged it. If you can think of a more suitable tag, feel free to change it. Randomran (talk) 21:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:'

Salut. Regarding this edit: {{'}}'s purpose is to replace <nowiki>'</nowiki> and &39; for conciseness and readability in the source code, as its documentation states. Because the template is just a five-character string, the subroutine would consume a negligible amount of time (i.e. the template is so small, using it has virtually no effect on loading time). Also, if you check Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:', you'll see that other featured articles (e.g. Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy VII, Super Mario 64) transclude the template, so it seems to be standard. —LOL (talk) 09:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I understand. Thanks for the explanation. Kariteh (talk) 09:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aerith Gainsborough

The article itself is Aerith Gainsborough. Wikipedia policy states to use the official spelling, which in this case is Aerith. Consensus among editors doesn't change that fact, nor does it make sense to use two different spellings throughout the article. While you may see it as a coup de'tat, it's merely following the established policies put in place. Not only is Aeris incorrect, it was always incorrect, and the current official spelling should be used. Nezu Chiza (talk) 22:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't own the article; the people who watch the article and principally Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Final Fantasy are the ones who should be convinced. Whether you think a consensus is valid or not, ignoring it and brutally changing the page like that without any proper discussion is not a good process. Kariteh (talk) 22:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I disagree. Ignoring an invalid consensus is precisely what should be done, and I shouldn't have to convince anyone to follow established policy. The article name itself shows exactly what her name is, or it wouldn't have been moved TO that name. In addition, the article mentions the naming change, and that should be more than enough information, especially with redirects. Fan decisions should have little to no effect on that. However, in the sense of fairness, I'll gladly start up another debate, even if you wrongly assumed bad faith on my part in your edit summary. My advice is to not make this personal, assuming I was trying to take over the article was bad faith on your part, as was assuming I had used severe bad faith in reverting your change. Nezu Chiza (talk) 22:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Discussion has been opened on the Aerith Gainsborough talk page, please feel free to contribute to the discussion, and sorry for being somewhat snippy, I should know better than to edit from work. Nezu Chiza (talk) 22:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy templates

Hi. I saw you reverted me on the Final Fantasy templates, and that's fine. But I was wondering: on {{Final Fantasy locations}} World of Final Fantasy VIII is indented. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks. The Prince (talk) 13:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

It's actually centered; the other articles listed aren't perfectly aligned on the left either. Kariteh (talk) 16:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. I think it's because all the other articles have names in parenthesis. The Prince (talk) 16:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Give me a few days to find what I can for a more reliable source on the EarthBound subject. I try not to cosider it an "edit war" since all of your reverts had good reasoning behind them. If I can't get something to take care of the "Citation needed" tag within a week (hopefully less), I will revert it personally. 24.249.134.246 (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)<- This is SirVenom.

[edit] Response

First let me thank you for being by far one of the nicer people who control this site. At least you were not offensive in your post to me as I have so often come across people who I think just come to this site to pick fights. With that said however I actually was expecting my edit to get deleted. I always here about how people can come to this site and leave information about topics but to date, every single time I do so, it gets deleted. That is fine with me, I am not one of you guys and maybe this is all really just an inside club. Yet, everything from the meaning of my last name to the correct spelling of a Japanese politician gets deleted whenever I post it. Friends of mine constantly tell me not to even come to this site at all because of what they see as an extreme anti-Catholic bias here but I don't mind coming to pull a bit of information. I know that the writers are not professionals so I don't take the info here too far. However I do continue to find it strange that if I ever actually post something myself it will always get deleted. No way around it. Your deletion of my writing was actually some of the fastest that I have seen, I discovered the deletion in less then two hours. Certainly you would want to give a guy some time to dig his referances up for the things that actually need referencing. Many of the things that I posted about I suppose do need to have a redirect to a source but for others, the film itself seems to be the source that is best and I certainly can't up a link up to an illegal site that is showing the film.

Still, I don't really mind that you deleted my writing. Thems the breaks posting on a site you don't own. However, considering the depth of the film, cultural impact and extensive use of symbols from different cultures to assist in the story telling, it seems to me that a GOOD article about this movie should mention THEMES and other "closer look" information as it is relavant. An article about the Matrix would not dare leave this kind of stuff out so I don't see why a movie that is even higher on the "art" scale in my opinion should not. Sure, you guys just don't like my writing, maybe my friends are right and you guys have a way to know that a Catholic is writing so you automatically delete it, buy someone should put this kind of stuff in.

As to the comment about beig verifiable, please look up the Han system in Japan, and any good biography of Sakaguchi Hironobu should mention the passing of his mother as the inspiration for Final Fantasy VII, he always mentions it in almost every interview. Currently Japan has very strict anti-gun laws and it is expected that the only people with a gun will be the cops or the yakuza. No normal person here owns or has ever even seen a gun. Honestly, besides that, I can't think of what I wrote that isn't self referanced in the actual Final Fantasy games and film. There just isn't any way to put a link redirectin people to that information but seeing as how there is a plot secion in the article I can see that this rule is appled in a rather flexible manner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.47.46.195 (talk) 15:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
