You seem to be making a good start on creating articles for some lesser known manga series, which is always a welcome addition. One thing I did notice, however, is that in your reference sections you just list the volumes of the manga. Might I suggest you take a few moments to read WP:CITE, to learn how to properly cite items and format reference lists, and check out Wikipedia:Citation_templates for some very useful templates for citing sources. Also, I had to remove one of the external links you had in the Lassie (manga) article, as it appeared to violate the WP:EL guidelines.

Manhwa project is a go!
I've just been informed that manhwa and other Asian comics have a home in the Comics Wikiproject's World Comics working group! Their omission from the scope was an accidental oversight, and will be rectified in the near future. Please head over to the project and add your name to the general participants list as well as the world comics participants list, and start tagging manhwa articles' talk pages with the group's template. Go ahead and add Korea Wikiproject's template, too, if it's not already there. Please also check out the working group's talk page, where I'm about to start a very rough list of possible tasks. I'm really excited and look forward to working with you! --hamu♥hamu (talk) 04:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
List of Twilight characters
Please explain your reasons for this revert. Your summary is a bit unclear because the version I edited also "includes information + links to those articles". What is the point of having a long list (with big headers) of only links to other main articles? Best, --PeaceNT (talk) 06:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation. :) I was thinking that this list could look like Dumbledore's_Army#Members_of_the_D.A., so we don't waste too much space just to link to other main articles. The headers and the article links seem quite redundant to me, but I like the idea of merging non-notable characters into the list to make everything more organized. :) I don't think Jacob should be merged, though. He is evidently a major character, especially considering that part of the story is written from his perspective. Best, --PeaceNT (talk) 10:26, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. :) Of course I won't interfere with your helpful on-going work. Best, --PeaceNT (talk) 14:01, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- It seems the merge discussion is going more smoothly than you expected... :P --PeaceNT (talk) 04:01, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion/merging of DBZ characters is going on by stealth. I've gone to deletion review to ask about the legitimacy of the decisions. Feel free to come too here :http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_September_27
Collectonian and Lord S are AfD'ing an article from DBZ again
They didn't even notify the talk page where consensus was just reached, this really is reprehensible. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tien_Shinhan#Tien_Shinhan JJJ999 (talk) 07:09, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
InuYasha (realationships)
Put the relationships back on InuYasha please? They are needed to describe the friendship among each character with each other. Thanks --Mgfan222 (talk) 07:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I agree with the above user. Look at all the other Character's pages, they have descriptions on their relationships with each other. Why are you being so stubborn? Just because you say it's unnecessary, does NOT mean that it is. 134.153.182.146 (talk) 11:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Character merges
Hi! Thanks for all your help with the InuYasha merges. One quick note, though, on character merges. When doing a character to list merge, please use {{CharR to list entry|SERIES}} rather than just {{R from merge}} for the redirection template. For the InuYasha articles, for example, it should be {{CharR to list entry|InuYasha}}. These helps sort them out better. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:24, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Moonrise (Warriors) GA delisting
Hello WhiteArcticWolf. I noticed that you recently delisted the Moonrise (Warriors) article from GA status. I have reverted your delisting, because proper procedure was not followed in the delisting. Please see the Good Article Reassessment page for information on the proper procedure to follow when you wish to delist an article, either by individual or community reassessment. You have to start a seperate reassessment page and give the article's editors time to address your concerns - you cannot simply delist the article with no warning, which appears to be what happened here. Please let me know if there has been any confusion, or if you have any questions. Thanks! Dana boomer (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing out that language to me. I will drop a note on the GA talk page about the confusion. It is really considered polite to place a listing on the article talk page itself if you intend to delist the article, rather than simply the project talk page. For example, I brought the article Malawi to GA status, but I'm not a member of the Malawi Wikiproject or the Countries Wikiproject, and so I wouldn't see a message on the projects' talk pages. If you wish to continue with an individual delisting, please feel free to do so, I'm not disputing the fact that the article may not be of GA status. Please feel free to do an individual reassessment, but make sure you leave a note on the article talk page for a few days before actually delisting the article. As I said, I will place a query on the talk page for the GA page that asks for the tag to be clarified. Dana boomer (talk) 22:18, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Character Merging
I don't agree with you merging the recurring characters, most of them have appeared in more that 80 episodes, and many are used very centrally in some episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.100.48 (talk) 17:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Characters of Scrubs
The infoxboxes don't make the page look cluttered at all, they break up a mass block of text, allow the inclusion of images, which every article should have, and add bulleted key information which is proven to stand out more to a reader. That is the reason we have infoboxes after all, and there is no guideline which says an article can't have more than one--Jac16888Talk 00:02, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- To me they looked cluttered, so it may just be in the eye of the beholder. Character lists should not have several images of individual characters; they should have group photos because of issues with fair use and such. It isn't a common practice to place character infoboxes for each indiviual character, either, for lists that eventually reach GA. Characters of Smallville, List of Naruto Characters, Characters of Halo, and Characters in Devil May Cry all lack infoboxes and individual pictures. The only one I've found that does use them is Characters of Final Fantasy XII, and that article is not only in some trouble (it should probably be delisted), but it doesn't even have individual characters photos.

Sephiroth (Final Fantasy V): Material deleted without providing a reason?
Greetings, WhiteArcticWolf
Today, I noticed your modification of Sephiroth (Final Fantasy V) article, on 20:24, 20 April 2009 designated: "Distinguishing Genuine Sephiroth: rv section; unnecessary and should be mentioned in the FFVII section" Which means you went there, saw my contribution, felt that it is intruding your rightful dominion (!) and deleted it! Man, do you even know how many hours I had spent on that? With so much passion I wrote that piece, spell-checked it, tried to ensure that it is not POV... and then you just deleted and called it "unnecessary" without first tagging it for the problem that it had or giving me a notice? Do you even know the meaning of respect?
Maybe it was not perfect, but here in Wikipedia, even copyright violations and patent-nonse are given seven days before being deleted! I was even about to add inline citations for that. Only because you have a barnstar, you recognize yourself as the king of Final Fantasy domain and dare to delete other people's contributions without a consensus, without a warning, without nothing, just like a terrorist? Only because you think they are "unnecessary"?
Please kindly explain yourself! (Please answer here and put a {{Talkback}} in my talk page when you did, so that we can keep this between ourselves because despite my anger, I still don't want to give you a bad face in Wikipedia.)
Estuans interius ira vehementi, Fleet Command (talk) 12:32, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- First of all, keep good faith and stop with the name calling (comparing me to a terrorist? What?). I do not think of myself as better than anyone else because I have a Barnstar. It's a gift from another user for ridding a certain article of vandalism and keeping it clean. There are numerous other users with plenty more. I can name several.
- Read this: Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines#What is appropriate?. That is the manual of style. This information is very in-universe, and can easily be collected into "Throughout the game, Cloud encounters several clones of Sephiroth with numbers tattooed on their arms" or something like it. The article does not need an entire new section based on the fact that there are Sephiroth clones, because it is too in-universe and the article should primarily be about out-of-universe information. Also, look at the other FFVII related articles; Aerith Gainsborough and Cloud Strife are Good Articles and have the basic concept/creation, summary of appearances, cultural impact, and in one case the musical theme. The rest, though not GAs yet, also follow this style. Did you know that Aerith and Tifa both had a section about who they loved? Or that Zack, Aerith, and a few others had sections about their background? They were all removed, because it was too in-universe and could be properly explained in their appearances section. And, no, it wasn't me who removed them. Some of that happened long before I started editing those articles/watching them.
- As to why I didn't notify anyone, it was more because it was a single section and not an article. This situation is different from copyrighted material being present throughout the article, and that information (from what I know, anyway) is not on any other site. I was being bold and removing it due to existing guidelines and the fact that it strayed off topic; that is, from explaining Sephiroth's appearance in FFVII. We've all had edits reverted. It happens, even if we spend time on something. I have created articles that will probably end up being deleted. I've spent hours trying to make an article on a one-shot manga notable, and when I finally realized there was no reception or out-of-universe information, I put it up for deletion. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 18:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- I have read the manual of style and many other help/policy pages in Wikipedia. Perhaps you have an idea of what's appropriate and what's not but you obviously do not know about how to handle them. When I contribute something, I obviously am of the opinion that it is appropriate. (That would have been true even if I hadn't read the manual of style -- which I had.) When you think it is inappropriate, that's OK: You have the right to. But then, we simply have a "dispute". The correct way to solve the dispute in Wikipedia is to tag the material in dispute with an appropriate template and discuss it in the talk page. Only if no one objected, you can go ahead and delete.
- Now, I'm going to assume that you have removed my contribution in good faith but was carried away and committed a minor misconduct; therefore considering it as not being vandalism. So, between the two distinct ways of resolving this dispute, I suggest the first one, which is best for your reputation, as follows:
- ONE: You yourself return to the article, revert the contents you have deleted, tag the most appropriate template for type of dispute per Inappropriate Contents clauses, then link it to the talk page discussion which you open regarding the matter. (I'm not asking or expecting you to write a full confession of misconduct or anything like that in the edit summary. Something like "Fixing my previous edit which was done by mistake. Oops! Sometimes happens!" or even less will do.) Then we will discuss the dispute in the talk page. If you convinced me (and I'm easy to convince), I'll consent the removal. However, get ready to encounter sufficient reasoning.
- There are second and third ways but I do not want to resort to them unless you reject this one.
- By the way, a piece of advise: Next time you put {{Talkback}} in my talk page, please consider adding it at the top of the page, so that those watching my page are not alerted of a change. Although, it was just an advise. Feel free to disregard it if you wish so. Fleet Command (talk) 07:02, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- I was going to suggest continuing this there as well, and I rather go by the first way you've given. Also, removing sections doesn't necessarily mean you must tag it. Removal of sections happens all the time, especially on lists. If a person dislikes the removal for whatever reason, they can revert it and leave a comment (though just asking about the change and such. I've never been compared to a terrorist, nor have anyone ever just assumed I recognize myself as "the king of Final Fantasy domain," despite the fact that I'm female. Starting a discussion like that doesn't help the situation at all). I also would like to leave a comment of the Square Enix Wikiproject; if you would prefer me not to, that's fine, but it's easier to have discussion with more people involved, and I'd like to get the opinions on fellow editors of the article. If they like it and can provide a reasoning for it as well as you, then fine. I placed the Talkback like I did because I've see many editors do the same, though it's due more to preference. I'll put it on top next time, as it's probably more convenient for both of us. After you reply to this, I'll revert the change and start a dispute discussion, and alert the Wikiproject if you are fine with that. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 01:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Well, thanks for deciding to discuss the dispute.

- I believe I owe you an apology for comparing your action to that of a terrorist. But I'm afraid I still cannot. Even now my hands tremble on the keyboard as I try to keep calm. Put yourself in my shoes: You spend an hour walking all over the house, thinking about how to improve an article which was once a Good Article but is now in grave danger of being marked for merger or notability failure. You decide to begin a multi-phase project to improve this article. You spend hours writting just three paragraphs that and explain what you deem extremely crucial to understand the subject of the article because you must make sure your work is well-sourced, NPOV, as short as possible and well within the boundaries of Wikipedia policies and best practices. Even after publishing the article, you spend many more hours going through your saved games to gather dialog lines and quotations...
- And then, after so much effort, you return to see that your hours-worth edits with so much consideration taken into account, is mercilessly wiped out... your hours of passionate work treated like vandalism... And the only comment left is "unnecessary and should be..." which alludes to the movies in which villians say "She's no longer necessary. She should be..."
- Honestly, what would have you done if you were instead of me? Could you stop yourself from shouting in the talk page, protection request page and user blocklisting page? Well, I was tempted to do all these but resisted. The most anger-demonstrating thing I did was signing "Estuans interius ira vehementi" as you see above.
- Let's get this Talk Page discussion started. Reason and logic both tranquilize me. So, don't worry I'll keep head once we are there, talking official. Fleet Command (talk) 05:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
It's done. You can comment here: Talk:Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)/Archive 2#"Distinguishing Genuine Sephiroth" section: Dispute. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 22:12, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I found a big interview with Oku in the Gantz manual, but its all in Japanese and I dont understand it.Tintor2 (talk) 19:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Its kind of long. The first interview is 11 pages long, and the second 10. It would sure be very hard to get it. There are also various comments from the the author in the characters file.Tintor2 (talk) 20:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Scrubs
Sorry Wolf, but I think you're in a losing battle. I'd tell you to take it to AfD, but I already know the response there. The consensus will be "Keep, but start a merge discussion", based on the fact that these are main characters. The merge discussion will be clouded by fanboys/girls (poor term, but accurate one) who do not want their articles touched. It doesn't matter how many policies and guidelines you cite--it wouldn't even matter if we had a policy that specifically said "No article unless you have this..."--because unless you can attract more neutral attention to the discussion you'll be outnumbered every time. Wiki may not be a democracy, but that doesn't change the fact that people still treat it like one. I wish you the best in your endeavor to clean up the fiction related pages. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:20, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Personally, I would improve the list as if those characters articles didn't exist. Then, if you can finish the list you might be able to persuade others to the merge more easily if you can show that there are two locations with basically the same information being provided. I don't understand opposition to character lists, even for main characters, since the Kingdom of Hearts character list and Smallville character list prove you can have both plot detail and real world coverage at the same time. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, for the sake of proving a point, ;), I'm going to work on developing J.D. into his own section (I already started a WORD document). Also, just to prove that it can be done without really losing anything, I'm going to keep the unsourced and original research bits in there (I'm going to tag them as either unsourced or original research just say it's clear though). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:25, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe so. It'll probably be in the best interest of the article to try and go ahead and show what it could/will look like. I'm probably going to request some Admin interpretation on the discussion as well, because I have issue with include an IP opinion that is not specifically directed at the Scrubs articles (i.e. "All fiction articles should have an article"), and a user who created an account simply to cast a vote in the discussion. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Do you have a central place to work on the Scrubs list (like User:WhiteArcticWolf/Scrubs characters) to work on the page? I have completed the J.D. section. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 14:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think it would help. I often work on things in my multitude of sandboxes before I put them on the mainspace. It's also helpful because you can work at your own pace. If you want to name it something more generic so you can use it in the future, that's cool too. I'm not at work right now, so I won't be able to upload the version of J.D.'s section that I did until tomorrow morning. But, if you want to go ahead and create the sandbox (if you haven't already), I'll put J.D. in tomorrow first chance I get. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 19:35, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Do what you need to. I intentionally left just about everything in (unless it was redundant or completely irrelevant), just to show that the article could easily exist on the LOC page. As for the sourcing, I don't watch the show so I couldn't say what episode verified what info. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:40, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Zack Fair
Who died and made you Czar of Zack Fair? Are you secretly Tetsuya Nomura??? Square Enix??
I keep adding my link and you keep taking it down. I read Wiki's policy and my site is fine for it. Do you have any idea how many OFFICIAL Ultimania (all in JAPANESE) I had to read, look up kanji for, and translate, to make that site? Not only that, I played the Japanese version of the game that has variations that English players who cannot speak/read Japanese would not not of. So I know my site would be helpful, and I've been told so by people who send form mails to me.
And it's not me promoting my site. There was another really good informative fansite up that I had added in the past (and that you RUDELY removed), but the owner's domain expired so the site no longer exists.
Fansites are good sources for people looking for more information/insight IN ENGLISH on a character ha gets very little spotlight time (unlike other characters who have been analyzed to death like Cloud or Sephiroth). There are just not a lot of information in Enlgish about Zack Fair other than non ndepth Wiki articles and straight-forward, no insight Final Fantasy Wiki. People can chose to click external link or not click it. I don't have 'official fansite' next to the link. They should have the right to see my link and decide whether they want to explore it, but you don't allow for that.
You're an arrogant jerk!! Wiki is a GROUP effort. Anytime someone adds somethig to that page YOU delete it. You want only the information YOU like displayed, then download a wiki script and make your OWN wikipedia and rule THAT with an iron fist.

How goes it with Zack and Vincent? I managed to finish up Barret and decided to try and help do some references for reception but I'm not turning up much still. :\--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:25, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Btw after reading the above realized that might've sounded condescending. Didn't mean it to, just wanted to know if you wanted to keep plugging away at the articles and if so I'd keep an eye out for more reception information. I'm digging around a little too for anything I can find for Cait and Red in between all of this too.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Citation in Character section
I thought that citations were not needed in characters and plot sections like the ones you added to Rookies (manga). Extremepro (talk) 01:14, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- From Jinnai (talk · contribs)'s assessment of Rookies (manga): "The lead is still too short and the reception focuses too heavily on the film. The plot and character sections need some more on them, mostly the character section both a copyedit and change the way the roles say who they are played by from something less intrusive than tons of parenthesis." Extremepro (talk) 06:29, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- The lead should be a pretty easy fix (I can work on that). For the character section, we could try switching back to the way it was, into an actual list. The only problem would be length; from the assessment, it sounds like more information should be added, and there are already several characters which are important to the series. A cast list could work, but there are two live-action media, and it's easier to keep it within a character section. I think I'll test out a list and see how it goes.

Gantz interview
I found a French translation of Hiroya Oku's interview from the Gantz manual in this site. Do you know French? I barely understand the idea of the questions. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 17:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Despite wanting to clean up the article, Fleet Command has been exessively trimming the Sephiroth article leaving only three sentences to his role in FF VII. Even more, his origins and methods get to Lifestream are not mentioned in the article leaving it confusing. He says that such info is fancruft and it does not pass notability even though the notability guidelines refers to what deserves an article. Also, even if notability also applies to these events, third party sources have talked about that. Could you take a look? Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 15:50, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Han characters and a company website
Responding to your requests at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_China#Help_finding_Han_characters_and_a_company_website.
Chinese Character for the comic An Ideal World is below
An Ideal World | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Traditional Chinese | 尋找自我的世界 | ||||||
Simplified Chinese | 寻找自我的世界 | ||||||
|
. Also, if you would look at the Chinese Text at the lower-left corner of the comic's cover [1]. It wrote 神界漫画作品 Which translate into Mystic World Publication. Their website is at www.cunrentj.com and the profolio for the comic your editing on is here [2] is also from the website. In this news from Zhongman, at the second paragraph, it states "2006年由村人、彭超创作的《寻找自我的世界》同时被法国、韩国、中国大陆及台湾地区的数家漫画图书出版社及网络在线出版同时签下首发权,一举创下了 “全世界第一部进行全球同步出版首发的漫画作品” 的惊人记录。" which possibly indicate year of release/publication on 2006. Further more, there are total of five volumes of the comic An Ideal World, (source "册 数:5册" [3]. If you can read Chinese text, then you can google the title however if you can't, try to use Yahoo's Babel fish or Google translator. Extra website for further readings [4][5].

- On your questions about Mystic World and Tian Jin Creator World Comic Company. Unfortunally, I'm not an expert on Comics, the name "Mystic World" was just a translation from Chinese meaning however they might have another "official" english version of their company's name. On a second though, according to Baike (a Chinese collaborative Web-based encyclopedia ). the article on the creator "Peng Chao" [6], states that
- 1999年签约天津神界漫画公司,以其独特的幽默语言、丰富的画面想象和奇异的人物景设造型而享誉漫画界。目前担任神界漫画公司副总经理兼漫画主笔,其作品《漫画金头脑》全6册获“国家图书”奖、“五个一工程”奖、“全国优秀科普作品”一等奖。其作品《西游记》曾荣获第一届“金龙杯”最佳画技奖。其作品《村人童话》之《寻找自我的世界》荣获2006年第一届“天视杯”中国原创动漫艺术大赛最佳故事漫画奖、最佳漫画编剧奖。其作品《西游记》已被国际版权公司买断世界经营权。《村人童话》之《寻找自我的世界》创作过程中更被业界专家赞誉为“将成为中国原创漫画创作的新标杆。2006年该作品创造中国原创漫画的第一个世界记录。全世界第一部以不同语种进行全球同步出版发行的漫画作品。
- I've missed the word "天津" (Tianjin) infront of 神界漫画公司 {note that Tianjin is a city in China and is where the company locates (source [7] - at the footer of the page which states their locations ad etcs)}. So indeed, Tian Jin Creator World Comic Company most certain be the official English name. I would suggest using this one only. I will provide some pinyin and Chinese Texts for you on the right.--LLTimes (talk) 05:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Basic Translation
In 2006, "Searching for own's world" was created by the comic writer, Peng Chao. At the same time, the rights to the publication of the comic and online version releases was agree in contracts and given to various publishing companies in France, South Korea, Mainland China, as well as Taiwan.

Comment: A basic and quick translation above, but you can always ask a French-speaking wikipedian to help you also. :)--LLTimes (talk) 06:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC) |
Regarding to this webpage [8] from curentj.com, I couldn't find any sign of "serialization " in the article. Although it did said on October 1st, a single edition/book (?) of the comic will be release internationally and that Peng Chao will held a Press conference discussing about it that day. On the Comic.zongheng.com, the website is a sub -branch of zongheng.com. Zongheng.com is a website that deals/concentrate on Chinese books, as well as comics. Much like a game websties (eg, IGN), that covers informations on different gaming platforms. --LLTimes (talk) 18:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- At Feb, 26 2006. The rights to publication were agree and granted to various countries that i have mentioned before. They were signed in Beijing. At October 1, 2006. Peng Chao open a press conferences "about" the releases of his comic {single edition/book (?)} in various countries all at the same time. Sadly, I've found news that states it will be release internationally on August 16th 2006 but sometimes there might be delays and etc, so it's not always accurate. I couldn't find any informations of publishers in Taiwan or Japan. According to these sources [9][10], various publisher are listed
- [这部名为《寻找自我的世界》的漫画由天津神界漫画公司创作。26日,中国《知音》期刊出版集团、法国小潘出版社、韩国福乐林出版社、中国通力计算机信息技术(上海)有限公司等三国四方代表,与天津神界漫画公司一起签署了该作品出版的合同书。]
- Mainland China : [中国《知音》期刊出版集团] Zhiyin Magazine [中国通力计算机信息技术(上海)有限公司] triworks
- South Korea: 韩国福乐林出版社 ?? <- you will have to ask a korean member
- France: 法国小潘出版社 Xiao Pan
- There weren't any informations on Taiwan, Japan, other European version during that time however, they did said the negotiation with these countries will carry on later.--LLTimes (talk) 19:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
[11] 韩国福乐林出版社是英国剑桥大学出版社(Cambridge University Press)在韩国地区独家经销商,专属出版剑桥大学出版社英语语言教学类出版物。
- The above says, South Korean "Fu-Le-Lin" is a branch of Cambridge University Press operating in South Korea, specifically publishing English books, researches and related stuffs. It appears they don't have an official webpage in Chinese so you will have to find the korean or English webpage. You can ask Korea Wikipedian for korean helps. --LLTimes (talk) 20:17, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, I was busy yesterday and didn't look at the talk page but thanks :) Glad that i helped someone :')--LLTimes (talk) 21:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I've asked you a few more questions. Xtzou (Talk) 23:04, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- I notice above on your talk page that someone has translated "It is the first comic publication to be release globally at the same time , setting a surprising record." It would be great to know why it was the comic to be released globally at the same time, and what the "surprised record" was! Xtzou (Talk) 23:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Advent Children info
Thanks for the info. I'll add it. By the way, do you happen to have the reunion files book? There is some information in the article sourced from the book that I could not add the page as I don't have the book and only found the info from the book in the internet. Adding the page numbers to those refs would be great. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 15:17, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Cool. The reference that needs the pages is number 9 which is shown four times in the article. One is in the end of production. The next is in the voice casting when talking about the voice actors of Kadaj's gang. The next is in music in "songs were chosen by Nomura while Uematsu wanted the orchestra to mix things up so that it did not sound digitized". And the last one is in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete in the end of the paragraph which talks about the increase of violence of the film. Since I have read all the info about the book, I don't know what else could be added, but you're welcome to add anything or fix anything you think is wrong. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 15:57, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
I forgot. Is there in the something about the use of the song "Calling"? I read in sites that singer Himuro made some comments about it. Also, I wonder if there is something about the tie-ins Reminiscence or On a Way to Smile.Tintor2 (talk) 16:54, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Nice work. Take your time.Tintor2 (talk) 18:28, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

- I never really thought nominating it considering my poor grammar.Tintor2 (talk) 20:16, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- You've added so much to it though :) Perhaps you can ask for a copy-edit from the guild? If I have the time I may try, but my life has become increasingly busy. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 20:44, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
A bit late to tell you, but following your advice I nominated Advent Children to GA after having it copy-edited by a member from the guild. I'll be there to see if there's anything that needs correction, but I'm afraid that due to some discussions about reception in Final Fantasy VII characters articles, I may be blocked. I'm not gonna tell you the story cos I repeated dozens of times, lol. Regards. Again, thanks for your work in such film article.Tintor2 (talk) 16:20, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Good job; the article looks great. The image of the poster is a nice touch. I'll be looking over it as well, especially in the case that you are not available. Again, nice work. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 19:11, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi WhiteArcticWolf. For now I have disabled the ClueBot on List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters so one can manually revert and issue appropriate warnings. Kindly issue the next level warnings and/or take the next steps if the IP continues to insert non-factual information into the article. I think it will be easy by now to prove long term disruptive behaviour by this IP. G.A.Stalk 16:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
