[edit] You should be aware ...

... of the discussion at TTN's talk page. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I've responded there. Thanks for letting me know. Zarbon (talk) 19:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Are you watching the page? I left you a reply. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
I know. I responded. If I don't get a chance to respond sooner, please be patient. I am rather busy. Thanks again. Zarbon (talk) 19:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
It's not a question of impatience, just wanted to know whether you watchlisted the page or not. Cheers! Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 01:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if my contribution is welcome since TTN deleted what I initially wrote. I don't think he wants my opinion, so maybe I shouldn't write on his talk page, but thank you very much for letting me know. I am more than happy to explain further here if you would like. Thanks again my dear friend. Zarbon (talk) 01:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor

Things like this are not minor, so please don't mark them as such. If you like, see WP:MINOR--Koji†Dude (C) 22:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright. I won't mark the responses as minor. Thanks for the advice. Zarbon (talk) 01:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Image

The problem with the image is precisely its nature, fair use images are prohibited in userspace, including userboxes. This is because there is no way to extend fair use into user pages. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Then how are other userboxes using images particular to their designated shows, such as Star Wars. They are using lightsabers and this in itself is a simple gif comparison. Well, the wolfenstein image in itself is actually a sprite gif, not even a screenshot. It's actually a very small gif, so I don't think it creates a problem or major defect upon the rules. Help me out here, I really need a similar gif for the userbox. I appreciate your help and time. Zarbon (talk) 05:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
The work is still derivative, that is the reason it keeps getting listed as a non-free image. Some of the lightsaber images have been deleted for being too close to the source while others ake kept because they have several differences, nevertheless characters are more strictly copyrighted, their entire likeness is usually copyrighted, thus it doesn't matter if the image's colors are alterated. - Caribbean~H.Q. 16:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I understand, but much of the image is altered to such an extent that only the actual bone structure of the image is left intact, therefore enabling for it to be kept. I only hope that this time, after this heavy alteration, the image will remain intact. Zarbon (talk) 19:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:FPS.PNG

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:FPS.PNG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Re: Obvious Sockpuppets

Suggest filing a CheckUser case and see how things go. I'm not going to be really watching the Dragon Ball-related pages anymore because of this nonsense, so, I don't care much to get involved. Might do tweaks and vandalism reverts if I happen to stumble upon it, but won't vigourously watch the pages per lack of interest. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the first inclinations given by Collectonian and yourself in that entire collossal amount of deliberations you just mentioned there, in this argument. I would much prefer to go along with the original names, and I find that entire argument of "more popular" to be nonsense. It appears that the majority has won the argument regardless, which is inherently unavoidable. So I'd assume names like "Artificial Human" will be converted to "Android" just because of the English dubbing. A lame counterpart excuse. The original is Japanese, therefore the names should be kept in their original counterparts, because the initial show is Japanese, not English. The show was released and subtitled and dubbed in over 50 countries or so...it would be nonsense to go by all the names of the dubs. The only REAL names are those of the Japanese because they are original, they are the first, hence derived from the manga. I agree with you on this strongly, but what can we do?
About the recent vandalism, I'd really appreciate that a fellow contributor such as yourself didn't decrease your activity, it's best to always maintain a friendship in these articles so that we may put a stop to vandalizers and their overall annoying schemes. I'd assume that the ip addresses will check out, and if not, I have maintained a collection of ip addresses in connection to that same vandalizer at this point, since the same person has been following my contributions and either reverting or causing vandalism to the same pages. Your initial help prior has been strong and although my voice has been halted in the past along with many other fellow contributors alike. Please help me keep track of this sockpuppeteer's activity. I'm sure that if we all work together, we can put a stop to this vandalism. Zarbon (talk) 02:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
