When I find that the conversations or issues discussed here have either ended or resolved, they will be inserted into my archives at my own discretion.—Ryūlóng


Another question,Ryu.

Hey-Xterra here. I need to know if a "cool user list" is OK on Wikipedia. I know policies are extensive and very strict here. That's why I'm asking you,Ryulong.--Xterra1 (talk)(Work)(?) 16:24, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I know of. That sounds like a friends list which is too MySpace-y—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 18:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bubba the Love Sponge

I'm not sure why you deleted my question with out giving a responce? --JLennox 19:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize. The issue is that there are problems with the information that was there and with our biography policy.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I intend to cite him, including the day, from his own broadcasts. I'm not sure what was so libalous about the orignal that required sections such as his commonly used slang to be removed. --JLennox 00:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He can't really be taken as a direct source for all information on him. Just read WP:BLP—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gekiranger

I think I have a means to allow terms like "Gekijuuken", translations of kanji shouldn't count in the area of asian-themed "Pronouns". Fractyl 05:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A pronoun is "he," "she," or "it." Unless you have a more pressing argument, we're not untranslating just to use the terms utilized by the fansubbing groups and so you can stop calling them "Fierce Beast-Fist" and whatnot.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I meant "Proper Noun", sorry? Also, who said we're using the fansub groups? "Kensei" and "Kenma" don't count in being "fansub" made, especially "Kenma" as they were used before the subs were made and the Kensei were improperly translated. Plus, I will not stand for any one to use "GekijYuken" instead of "GekijUuken". Fractyl 06:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is still not the point. The only items that are not translated are items that are made up words in katakana ("Gekirenjā" will never be "Fierce Ranger") or people's names. I see no reason that a fictional martial arts school's name should not be translated when it can be. We even have decent translations for "Geki" and "Rin" (and technically, Gekiwaza and Ringi are translateable, but this is going off topic). There are few regular editors who feel the same as you do, and the only thing that went on was at the talk page a couple of months ago where there were suddenly more people who have never editted the page before commenting on the same fact you are. We are not untranslating "Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts" to become "Geki Juken Beast Arts" (which currently fits in with the transliteration of the title by Toei on the DVD covers).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But aren't we suppose that when Toei does give proper meaning to a term, like with Hurricaneger? Fractyl 06:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is only for series titles. If you read back a bit in Yuka Hirata's blog, you'll also see a poster using "Confrontation Beast-Fist Akugata" (however I also saw that the Gekiranger movie's making of DVD used "Nei-Nei! Hō-Hō!" when it should be "Nei-Nei! Hou-Hou!"). The only use of "Juken" is on the DVD boxes for "Jukensentai Gekiranger." There was also an official post that used "Gekirengar" but we know it's not that.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I don't read that blog, or know where it is. But, are you sure that poster is real? Fractyl 06:27, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looks real.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fanmade to me, did you asked this Yuka about it? Fractyl 14:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No. But it's used in Japan, regardless of its veracity as an actual piece of Toei merchandise.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Where else in Japan, other than Yuka? Fractyl 00:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. If a star of the show found it, it must exist. Other than that, you bring up no more new points that should sway me either way. Stop asking me about this.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't recognized the name. Well, just wait until I do find new points. Fractyl 00:53, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't want to. Unless you find something from a Japanese source that must mean that my translating "Gekijūken" is wrong and we should use "Geki Juken," we leave it be.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Irelan, blocked from account creation Aug. 14, back with new sockpuppet

Hi Ryulong--I see you are the admin who blocked Irelann (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) on August 14, putting an indefinite ban on account creation.

He is now active at NickIre (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).

Here a few of his earlier sockpuppets, banned in January--got this list from the contemporaneous w:Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Nirelan.

I don't understand how somebody who has been repeatedly banned can keep getting new accounts that let him waste the time of so many hard-working Wikipedians. betsythedevine 10:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. I'll see what I can do for a permanent solution.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Eep² that you blocked

You may be interested to know that this user is now actively contributing on MediaWiki. What is most alarming is he is continuing to persist in creating conflict with other users, e.g. here. He was recently banned for three days, however continues to persist in arguing in any way he can. --Zven 10:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have no say on what goes on at MediaWiki.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I know, and I do not expect you to do anything. It does hhowever highlight a slight problem with the wikimiedia projects, that is the lack of coordination of information about problematic users between the projects. There are audit trails, however the associations are not strong between them because people have to troll through information to make the connections--Zven 21:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've requested a MediaWiki admin to help out here.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:27, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
ok thanks, monitoring pattern over is time is what is required here, it is a subtle (and not so subtle) but sustained effort to annoy other users.
Can't recall why this page is on my watchlist -- but I have to say I'm not surprised. When the presence of this user first came to my attention, my immediate reflex was to feel deeply annoyed even though I hadn't even talked to him yet. He's an old Usenet flame warrior from way back, and like all such creatures he didn't adapt well to Wikipedia's culture. So although I wasn't aware he'd been blocked, it's no surprise. I have no doubt he won't last long at MediaWiki either.

It's been years since I last had any interaction with him, but he hasn't changed his habits one bit. It's sad, really. TCC (talk) (contribs) 21:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that is useful historical information about the user in question. I have already directly mentioned to him that the way he interacts with others determines the likelihood of them collaborating with him but it doesn't seem to be registering. --Zven 00:15, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there

You deleted my page on Gilles-Gaston Granger for a "no notability" reason.

I may be a new comer in the wikipedia world (I got confused between the french and english version of my page), but, with due respect to a long time wikisheriff, I think this is a mistake

Indeed, Gilles-Gaston Granger's page was requested by the Jacques Bouveresse article (if problem with the link, check here)

Can U please explain Ur decision ?
