Hi, this is my talk page (me being KojiDude). Feel free to leave me a message if you want.

If you're looking to reach me off-wiki you can E-mail me at CptJakHarkness@yahoo.com. Your best bet besides that would be my PlayStaion Network adress (which is also CptJakHarkness).

As long as you follow a couple rules, we'll be sure to get along fine here. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Rules? Wtf? Why should I waste my time reading your rules when I can just leave a message?" Well, because if you break any of these the entire comment you made will be deleted, because I can do that (I think).

The number one rule would be no personal attacks please. If I have pissed you off in any way, or reverted any edits you made, I was probably just following Wikipedia policy and got mixed up. Even if I was just being a dick, you still shouldn't insult me, just report me ;-)
Please sign your posts. It's very annoying and against policy not to. Just type: --~~~~ after your comments.
Please don't edit your comments after making them, unless you're fixing a typo. It grinds my gears when you do that.
Don't vandalize. It can and will get you blocked. Besides, what kind of loser vandalizes User talk pages?
Don't troll . Seriously, no good comes out of it. All you'll get is a {{subst:test2-n}} on your talk page and a lot more aggroivation.
Don't be a dick

[edit] Lend a hand?

You have watchlisted the Dragon Ball character lists, haven't you? TTN and I are attempting to get rid of the extremely minour characters (like at List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball) so we're gonna need some help trimming and/or reverting users who insist on keep WP:FANCRUFT. You in? Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:08, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure, why not? I'll start on it tommorrow though, because it's late where I live.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 03:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

We're working on the extraterrestrials first. Can you help make sure the anons don't "rv"? Think I'm at my 3rr limit there. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

You've got 2 rv's there, but I've watchlisted it anyway. I'm glad to help out.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 19:19, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

What the ... is up with User:Jtrainor? He vandalizes the alien list, then Hulk's, and is now suggesting that I am a vandal [1]. He even removed the appropriate warnings I gave him citing "WP:DTTR" [2]. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what he has against me. Don't think I'll be blocked for warring though, especially since WP:3RR#Unwanted edits says that reverting obvious blanking is OK. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Finally...

So I finally responded to your comment on my RfB. If you could pop over and check it out, I'd appreciate it.

Also, please don't feel like you need to apologize; you have a valid argument, in my opinion, just one that I happen to disagree with. No harm in that, and as long as you're not saying "EVula is a jackass because he's a wikignome", I'm perfectly fine with it. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I finally responded. :-) I wasn't saying you were a jackass, just that I've always seen Crats as "high and mighty". You're not high and mighty, you're just... cool. If that makes any sense. It doesn't. Anyway, as long as you don't suddenly decide to make a buisness drowning rabbits in Windex, it looks like your RfB is to pass. Well done! --Koji †Dude ^(C) 22:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I assure you, I didn't suddenly decide to drown rabbits; I gave it very careful consideration. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

You're too funny EVula, even funnier than me. That's not allowed! I'm going to have to re-oppose now.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 00:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to template the regulars.

can I get that in the form of a template? ;> xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 03:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, Xenocidic. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to stalk other users. We acknowledge that KojiDude is very sexy, but we aren't allowed to make any exceptions to policy. We'd have to go through ArbCom, and you know how that is. Make it easier on yourself, and stalk somone in real life where it's harder to trace it back to you. Doing it on Wikipedia can and will get you blocked. Thank you.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 03:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] accusation

hello. i am wondering why so many people were so quick to accuse me of "sockpuppetry". all i did was readd some info to a character profile...and remove from characters whom seem to be far less important. was that behavior which falls under the category of sockpuppetry? i actually feel a bit offended. 207.38.206.178 (talk) 04:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, assuming you're not a sock, I think it was just a bit of paranoia. We've all dealt with a certain user that was overly possesive with the Zarbon article and frequently evaded blocks. I think it was just the fact that it was the Zarbon section you were focusing on recently that sparked the idea.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 04:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

oh. i'm sorry but i do like zarbon, amongst all the rest of the characters on the page. i removed the profiles of broly and bardock, but i like those characters too. i just thought that they were supposed to be inconsequential since that was a huge amount of chat revolving around that on the discussion page for the extraterastrials page. sorry for any confusion. 207.38.206.178 (talk) 04:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

That's alright, but it'd be better to explain yourself to User:Sesshomaru than me. You don't have to fear me, I'm too tired at the moment to take any sort of action.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 04:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock Help

Hello KojiDude. I explained my situation to TTN on his user page and he deleted the information with the comment that I should take it up in a different manner. I have posted the unblock request on my ip talk page for my user name and I am asking for your help. Initially, I didn't want to bring this up because I did not want to annoy administrators, but after two years of being banned, I feel that it has been a very long time. Please, if you can, please open an unblock request for my user name. 72.229.48.178 (talk) 04:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trimming

The 25KB was just guess and potential target. The information removed definitely needs to remain removed either way. It's all pretty crufty. It is definitely not the absolute limit or anything. TTN (talk) 01:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

But there are practically no images on the page. Is it alright if the one zarbon image is left? The image is neither fancruft nor superfluous. It just adds to the overall appearance. In any case, I too agree with KojiDude that the page is heavily cutdown at this point. I guess what you can do furthermore is delete Muri or the Saibaimen, since they are close to inconsequential, but the rest of the characters on the page are rather major in comparison. On another note, I have posted the unblock request on my ip talk page, I'm hoping that you can help me. 72.229.48.178 (talk) 05:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I think Coola and Zarbon can have the images back. First, do they have their standard rationales? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

If they don't, please update the images so they aren't under any violation. 72.229.48.178 (talk) 06:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Statustop template: alternate updating method

SoxBot V has been taken offline indefinitely, therefore {{Statustop}} now uses a semi-manual updating method taking the status from Special:Mypage/Status. You can use the Qui monobook script written by TheDJ to update this page at the click of a button.

Certain parameters are no longer used, so you may wish to check the documentation of the Statustop template to ensure you are using it properly. Please feel free to drop by my talk page with any questions or concerns or to report problems. Happy editing, xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 13:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thanks mang!

thanks for your support at my RFA. if you want to see how i'm planning to address the issues that were brought up, check out User talk:Xenocidic/RFA. please feel free to make any comments as well. i've left some thank spam for you below. cheers, xenocidic (talk) 00:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] zarbon edits

I understand why you don't want to put in the "handsome," but I would like to point out that he never refers to himself as "handsome" either. That's why that sentence comes out incorrect. He never proclaims himself anything for that matter. However, in the dbz site and the dbz manga, he is referenced as "handsome, vain, and mysterious". any of these three words can be used to definitively describe him. But I know that he doesn't ever call himself handsome, so that sentence would be wrong. See what I mean? 72.229.48.178 (talk) 00:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

on another note, is it possible for you to help me out with this block. I'd really prefer to edit using my user name, i explained furthermore on my ip talk page. 72.229.48.178 (talk) 00:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I understand what you mean about the handsome thing now, I'll re-word the sentence for clarity. Thanks for bringing that up. About the block, there's really nothing I can do for you at this point. You were indef'd, and rightly so. After Yalma's response to your unblock request, I think it's pretty clear that it will take some more time for you to clear your name. You're on the right track, though.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 00:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you fixed that bit on the profile. About my current status, I am going to try my best until my name is cleared. However, I'd like to point out that Yamla had turned me down after only six months of my initial complaint. He told me to go through the same process again recently. I don't think Yamla is against my being unblocked. But I don't think he can do anything about it either. The person who originally blocked me, Deskana, has never responded for a very long time. I don't know, is it necessary that I wait longer than two years...I mean I've shown that I don't want to create any other names and I want to listen to the advice of administrators as much as possible. I really wish there were something an administrator could do for me. It's as if my plea has fallen on deaf ears all this time. I don't want to bother you, but if you can help me, you have no idea how much I'd greatly appreciate it. 72.229.48.178 (talk) 00:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't have admin tools, so I'm not able to make a decision on this myself. But, if you want a community opinion, you can take your case to WP:AN/I. It may take some time to get a reply though, because the backlog there is usually significant. (If you want to keep the issue more private, though, you could just try to catch Deskana on a day when he's active)--Koji †Dude ^(C) 00:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the power levels

Ironically, I was going to remove them from Vegeta, but they're actually sourced there. There was a discussion about this at WP:WPDB right? Please reply on your talk page, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't know about WPDB. Back when I was around WP:DBZ was fairly new, I think it started just before I left actually, so I never really got involved (I was involved with the articles, but that was before the project). We removed all the Power Levels because of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Power level (Dragon Ball) which I was here for and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Power level (Dragon Ball) (second nomination) which I wasn't here for, and the fact that no-one had a source. If there's a source over at Vegeta I'd consider it worth keeping. We should check it out to see if we can source the others.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 03:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Let me just say that I still question some of the Daizenshū stuff. How about you? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I've never liked using it as a ref. I've never seen it, so I have no idea if it says half the crap it suposedly does.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 03:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

So did you take a gander at this yet? Now I don't mind mentioning the power levels in the infobox, like at Yamucha and Tenshinhan, though there shouldn't be a section on them. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

You're right, a whole section is kind of over-doing it. Let's just find the last power level stated for him. Putting it in the infobox like at Yamucha is a good idea, sess. :-D I wasn't even aware of that.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 22:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Shall I make the change or do you want to? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't make a difference. If you want to do it right away, go ahead; just make sure you use the most recent one. I'll do it if you don't want to.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 22:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Could I leave it in your hands? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure, no problem.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 22:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hello, KojiDude, and thank you for your recent participation in my RfA, which was closed per WP:NOTNOW after reaching a vote tally of 5/15/2. While I am disappointed in the outcome, I understand that it - as well as the comments left by yourself and others - was in the best interests of Wikipedia at this time. I plan to take everything that was written to heart and improve myself here on Wikipedia with a goal of perhaps accepting a nomination again in the future, should someone choose to nominate me. As a way of gathering further feedback, I have created a page in my user space for other editors to leave comments about things that they might have observed during my RfA and to continue my "education process," as it may be considered. If you would like to contribute to that page, it may be found here. Again, thank you for participating and I appreciate your comments! --InDeBiz1 (talk) 18:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the comment you left on my page. I appreciate your willingness to nominate me in the future and I will certainly keep the thought in mind. But, since I am transitioning to a new job early next month that will have me doing a morning show and serving as the Program Director of a radio station, I'm not 100% sure I'd have enough time available to dedicate to WP. But, we'll see how it ends up playing out, I guess :) Thanks! --InDeBiz1 (talk) 19:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] buu

If the name is indeed spelled Boo, provide PROOF of the names spelling. 99.147.27.44 (talk) 15:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[3]--Koji †Dude ^(C) 15:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I fail to see how that is prooving anything. Its just some guy saying something without proof 99.147.27.44 (talk) 15:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Buu

A) wwhy do that, the majority of en users are english speaking B) the guy before me changed it to buu, i moved the page Sexy Sea Bassist 17:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

If you had looked at the talk page first, you'd have seen it was already discussed.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 17:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Koji. Have you seen some of the names that WP:DBZ uses? Son Goku, Tenshinhan and Freeza come to mind. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About your edits to WP:DBZ/FAQ

It's really the change to the section #Characters which I thought was awkward. What was wrong with the way it was before? Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I thought the nowiki thing made it look weird. It was hard to read and seemed kind of pointless. And if I remember right, Chichi and Bulma were on there, but there wasn't really any change in their names so (since they didn't seem like good examples) I took them down. I think the nowiki format would work better if there was a new Q section; something along the lines of "How do I link to Dragon ball articles?". It was a good idea, but in the wrong place (IMO).--Koji †Dude ^(C) 22:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Wasn't its purpose to list common links that should be avoided, as it did before? Inclusively it seems like you're promoting redirects (Shen Long, Yi Xing Long, Gyumao?) over pipe links. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I thought it's purpose was to show:

Names People Are Used To → Names We Use

I just used the redirects to link the former because I'm lazy. :-( That's what redirects are for.--Koji †Dude ^(C) 22:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

How could we come to terms? I think the nowiki markup was better too. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I think the Examples would be better as examples of the names we use, not how to link them. A good compromise would be to have a new question in the FAQ that asks how to link to certain characters, and then we can use your nowiki links. Thoughts?--Koji †Dude ^(C) 00:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, could you show me an example of what you mean? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) Sure. I was thinking, maybe something like this:

[edit] Linking

Q: What's with these Character lists? Why don't my links go where I want them to?

A: Some characters have their own articles, and some don't. Most characters are included in the List of Dragon Ball Characters, and need to have more specific links.

[edit] Examples

Goku → [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]]
Shenron → [[List of supernatural beings in Dragon Ball#Shen Long|Shen Long]]
Omega Shenron → [[List of supernatural beings in Dragon Ball#Yi Xing Long|Yi Xing Long]]
Chi-Chi → [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Chichi|Chichi]]
Trunks → [[Trunks (Dragon Ball)|Trunks]]
Ox King → [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Gyumao|Gyumao]]
Coola → [[List of Extraterrestials in Dragon Ball#Coola|Coola]]

That way we have one section to show the names we use, and another on how to link them. Whaddya think?--Koji †Dude ^(C) 15:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

We could implement this change, but I still uncomfortable with leaving all of the other examples out. Regardless, would you do the honours for now? Then we can discuss the others further. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:08, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll add it in and you can add whoever you want. :-) --Koji †Dude ^(C) 03:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your userpage

I fixed a spelling error on your userpage, "seriously" was spelled with an "e" stuck in there. I did this per the tag on the top giving permission to improve the page. Useight (talk) 05:19, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
