[edit] Vandalism spree

Okay, if y'all come under this level of attack again, just skip going to WP:RFP and go directly to WP:AIV and ask for someone to semi-protect the page. Also, y'all have been under attack for 2 hours, why didn't you put some warning templates on the vandals' talk pages? Take a look at WP:VANDAL. Any time that a vandal hits the page and you revert, you should be throwing a warning template on their talk page. It only takes a minute or so and if you get enough warnings on their talk page, you can report them to WP:AIV and get the account blocked after at most 4 vandalisms. All you have to do is after you revert them, go to their talk page and take a look at what is currently on their page. If it is clean, start at {{uw-vandal1}} and work your way up one at a time. Every time they vandalize, roll up to the next vandalism template until you reach vandal4, if they vandalize again, report them to WP:AIV immediately. On the other hand, if they have a lot of warning templates on their talk page, skip directly to {{uw-vandal4}}. Bobblehead (rants) 04:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Truth be told, honeslty, most of us are pretty new to Wiki editing and community Politics. I was sadly using all the avenues suggested on the help files =(. Thanks very much for your efforts =) Knighthammer 05:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Look out for Captain Zechs once he becomes an "established" user. 71.126.192.8 13:15, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

If you have evidence that Captain Zechs (talk · contribs) has intentions to vandalize Wikipedia, please feel free to report them on WP:AIV or WP:AN/I and they'll get blocked before they get the chance to vandalize the article. If they persist in returning, file a checkuser report so we can figure out their IP address and give the IP address a lengthy block as well. Also, please remind them that it is a violation of their ISPs user agreement to vandalize Wikipedia and their ISP accounts will get shutdown if they persist in their vandalism. Bobblehead (rants) 15:19, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm fairly sure he's going to. I mean, if you look at his contributions, so far, all he's done is vandalize the Toon Zone article by claiming that he is one of the best posters on the board. I can't imagine someone who makes edits like that turning out to be a good user. 71.126.192.8 16:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Do you have a link to the thread on Toon Zone where he declared his intentions? It would be even better if he also gloated about his one edit so far. But that's just to confirm the identity. Bobblehead (rants) 17:17, 3 August 2007 --(UTC)
I have investigated the warnings from 71.126.192.8 and there is *NO* supporting evidence to this end.
If 71.126.192.8 would like to log in and give concrete proof to this insinuation, it will be treated as a valid threat, otherwise, I suggest it be ignored until further evidence indicts a specific party. Knighthammer 19:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of the preview button

Not that there is anything technically wrong with the edit method y'all are using, but you may wish to consider using the preview button. It allows you to see how your edits will display without actually saving the change to the database. One reason for this is that Wikipedia has a cadre of users that patrol the recent changes log and keep an eye out for vandalism. Having a lot of little edits on a single page makes it difficult for someone to wade through and try and figure out if there has been vandalism or not on the page. Bobblehead (rants) 17:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Layout Discussion

Ok, I have two topics I wanna flesh out on the page.

First is layout

For each of the columns, I picked things that I felt this community in particular would be most interested in. However, many of the columns are spilling over to not only 2 lines but in some cases 5 or 6 lines. As far as overall presentation, it's probably bulking the page up more so then needed.

There are four solutions we could do.

  1. Ditch the Toonami Images - I personally feel it adds a lot of flavor to the page but we could easily just get rid of them and change the tables from 70% to 100%
  2. Move the Toonami Images - We could move them to the header instead of being off to the side.
  3. Kill a column or three
  4. Live with it
Misc Info

I'm thinking that the Misc information should be simply combined into the respective section it effects.

I think having all the mini headers is making the TOC bigger then it needs to be (all be it easy to update) but it also feels "disorganized".

Thoughts? Knighthammer 05:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm CONSIDERING --- CONSIDERING making the shows all one huge table and killing the images on the right (or shrinking them more) so that one more column can be added in place of the headers for all the animated SHOWS (not movies ATM) so that you can COMPLETELY sort the entire list based on the division of headers we have now.
Regarldess if we do this, the dates need to be formated differently going forward. The format must be YYYY-MM-DD (Y=Year, M=Month, D=Day) for sorting purposes.
As far as sorting goes, let me suggest the script doesn't currently allow for default sorting (god that would make things easier) so for now, please don't get lazy when adding shows to keep them in ABC Order.
At some point, I'm gonna figure out a way to make it so that the numbers on the left hand side don't move while sorting (IF the script supports that). Heck, I am half tempted to go work on writing the script myself to add some of these features.
Anywhoo, thats all for now. Knighthammer 22:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Backup and new table usage

I'm going to start setting up the new tables. The new setup utilizes hidden fields to state what is being looked for for each field as well as to (hopefully) quickly find the section you wish to update.

I'll be using the following template to indicate what section I am working on:

I've backed up the CURRENT version Here and will be looking for a template to indicate which section I am working on so everyone knows NOT to update that section in the duration. Knighthammer 06:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

First off, YES, I realize the sorts are broken in all the columns except the first one. It was working in the test page and then stopped working somewhere along the line. I don't know but I suspect its simply a syntax error.
In order for the show/hide script to work, I need to use header rows thus it makes all text on the table in bold. This can't be helped.
I would have made the table MUCH easier to read and manipulate like I did with the hidden information (Licensor, Voice Studio, Animation Studio and additional information) but again the script isn't nice, it wont allow for white space.
In all sections with information that should be edited I've left comment boxes (ex: <'!-- COMMENT -->) Each comment box describes what information we're looking to put in those respective areas. Please read them and obey them. If you feel differently, talk about it here or on the dicussion page. Generally speaking, you can simply search for comment boxes (Ctrl+F -> type <'!--). HOPEFULLY it will save many people headaches editing it.
Most SIMPLE HTML Editors allow you to color code text. What you may consider doing (at least what I do) is cut and paste the section you're working on to such an editor, edit there and paste it back.
Towards the end transferring the Toonami Premier section, I got lazy and didn't internally link EVERYTHING. I started doing that about at MAR. If someone wants to help with that area, that would be awesome.
For the studios and licensors, I hope I made those sections MUCH more clear. We're looking for who markets it in the US, who dubed it and who animated it. The titles should make that much more understandable (I hope). While doing those sections *I* didn't properly place them. They are all placed under licensor which is obviously incorrect in many cases. It's not much better then what we had though. I'll look at this AFTER I am done re-localizing the article if someone else hasn't first.
Finally, I removed the Status section since there was a bit of controversy on that section. It served to give enough room for other columns as well (double whammy). I believe people can draw their own conclusions from the show counts but don't hestitate to talk about it in the additional information section.
I hope everyone likes this format.
BTW, if anyone has a better idea for a color scheme on those tables, I'm more then willing to mod them. This just looked best to be for the moment. Knighthammer 11:17, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Be advised, I'm not updating the movie section with the new format for a while. I intend to wait to see if we come up with more movies before I shift it into format.
If you still that could be added, please do.
I've added expansion templates to each of those sections to suggest they wont be touched for a while. Since the OVA section was recently made, I DID use the new format for that one. Knighthammer 19:30, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date formats

Since I got reverted part of the way through, just a quick explanation for the change in date format from MM/DD/YYYY. The main reason is that the MM/DD/YYYY format is primarily understood by North American English speakers, so using that format will cause readers from outside the US to misconstrue dates. 8/4/2007 is August 4, 2007 in the US, but for most other English speakers it is April 8, 2007. If you don't like the spelling out of the months like I did, we could always use ISO 8601 formatting, so 2007-04-08 instead of the other formats. ISO 8601 is a little more accessible and less confusing than MM/DD/YYYY for non-US readers and there isn't the chance of confusion.--Bobblehead (rants) 19:46, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Linking dates will auto-correct that error for most users. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 02:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Date linking does not support MM/DD/YYYY, so linking them will only create dead links.--Bobblehead (rants) 18:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Really? Damn. Never mind then. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
All fixed. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ben 10

Ben 10 is going to be on Toonami this saturday 11/24/07 at 7:00 followed by a Ben 10 movie. Do not believe me? Go to the website schedule and look! - User:Mark Alvarez —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.112.15 (talk) 19:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Should Ben 10 be added to the List of Toonami Shows? -- User:Mark Alvarez —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.112.15 (talk) 02:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wrecked!

Someone wrecked the List of Toonami Animated movies section! -- User:Mark Alvarez —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.112.15 (talk) 19:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yu Yu Hakusho's Airdate

The upper box sais that its airdate was in 2003 but the lower one sais it started airing in February 23 2002. As I recall, it was picked up by Toonami a couple of months after Codename: Kids Next Door sarted and shortly before Rurouni Kenshin started, which would be about Febuary 23 2003.--72.88.108.41 (talk) 03:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ben 10: Race Against Time

This movie is live action, so why is it on list of Toonami Animated movies? --User:Mark Alvarez —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.112.15 (talk) 20:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Powerpuff Girls Z

Is it true that Powerpuff Girls Z (the anime counterpart of The Powerpuff Girls) will become part of the Toonami lineup in 2008. -- User:Mkalv —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.112.15 (talk) 21:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
