User talk:Shrek05

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, Shrek05, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

[edit] Zanpakutou

Actually, you are incorrect, initial release and final release as English translations for shikai and bankai respectively, not 'descriptions' as you stated. 始 (shi) means 'beginning' (initial), while 解 (kai) means release (similarly for the final release). It is Wikipedia policy to use English terms whenever plausible, which is certainly the case here. We are trying to minimize the amount of Japanese terms used in general, although it was agreed that shinigami would be used instead of Soul Reaper at least until the time that the English version of the anime comes out. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 20:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Scanlation and fansub groups are completely irrelevant to Wikipedia. I should tell you that except Lunar Anime, none of the scanlation and fansub groups put major effort into finding correct translations for Japanese (or other) terms. As for your point, actually the characters do say Final Release when doing it, this is bankai in Japanese. Scanlation groups do not translate this, that is their problem. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 11:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Just realized you may have meant the Viz translation of the manga. While Viz is more relevant than scanlations, it is not binding either and you'll notice we don't use its translations in many cases. Moreover, when we use the words 'initial release' and 'final release' in the article, we are also 'describing' the release, not releasing our zanpakutō (:S), so even according to Viz, final release would be proper. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 14 Year Old Girls

I have added info to the article that help establishes notability, and I was hoping you may re-visit the AfD. Please respond at the AfD rather than this talk page, since I am leaving this message for several editors. Thank you! PT (s-s-s-s) 18:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ripped

Please look at this article, and the AfD, as well. Thanks. PT (s-s-s-s) 18:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:ValentinoLogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ValentinoLogo.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. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. βcommand 21:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Katespade.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Katespade.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Anthropologie.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Anthropologie.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
