User talk:Despatche: Difference between revisions

Can I ask you why you changed the original title of Persona 3 from "Persona3" to "Persona 3"? I want to edit the P4 article, and I want to the real original titles of the game. --Shinra.Electric.Power.Company (talk) 00:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You recently asked how to italicize an article title. Add the template {{italic title}} near the top of the article. Station1 (talk) 07:22, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, but the "main" article is Shogi, not shougi. Maybe to avoid confusion(?) it should be shogi and not shougi. For me it's the same though. --Hydao (talk) 14:18, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Note that talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, is considered bad practice, even if you meant it well. --Jtalledo (talk) 14:47, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Despatche, first off I'd just like to say great job on helping to clean back up the Novelty article. It obviously needed it and it looks great. Secondly, and it's only a "minor" issue, but it appears that you may be overusing the "minor edit" function. I should know, I had the same issue a couple of years ago. Remember that most of the edits you do should not be marked as minor, particularly the large edits that you seem to be good at. For more detail on this, please check WP:MINOR. Also, don't forget to include your edit summaries my friend. That all said, keep up the good work! ;) Buddy23Lee (talk) 21:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OR, you could just disregard all the above regarding the minor edit function, as it appears you have. Fair enough, I bid you farewell with a well earned trout slapping...

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Good day to you sir. Buddy23Lee (talk) 22:07, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Despatche. You've asked for a technical move of MicroCabin to Microcabin. From a quick Google search it seems to me that Micro Cabin is more common. For example, see [1] and [2]. If you agree, you could change your request. If you have doubts, it might be best to open up a move discussion. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:13, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that 'Tinhead' fits the data better. But there is a clash of names. Lower case Tinhead is a redirect to Edington, Wiltshire and it appears to be legitimate. How would you feel about a move of TinHead to Tinhead (video game)? EdJohnston (talk) 17:15, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your solution solves the ambiguity, but you don't really need to place hatnotes on the two articles. Especially the one at Tinhead (video game) isn't needed, because a hatnote from a disambiguated article to the generic one is kind of trivial. See WP:DAB: "There is no need to add disambiguation links to a page whose name already clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term." Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:43, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Truxton (video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arcade (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Why is it you feel that its name wouldn't be capitalized? Sergecross73 msg me 15:42, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do not unilaterally move pages without consent. As there is no material that uses "Hikonin" or "Hikounin" plastered in English, we should not use that as the page title on Wikipedia. If we were to not translate the word "Unofficial" then by all means the article should be located at "Hikōnin Sentai Akibaranger" as Wikipedia uses the Hepburn romanization system.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:29, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do not unilaterally move pages without consent! Using a fake translation because "no English source uses the romaji" is the most brain-dead thing I've seen from Wikipedia yet. crunchyroll, or anyone else for that matter, can not and will not make up whatever translation they please and call that an "official title". You don't understand that what happens at Wikipedia gets spread everywhere else and becomes this so-called "official", NOT any other way around. English speakers need to learn some respect for non-English things before they try to comprehend them.

Now if you want to protect your precious macrons, feel free to do so. Despatche (talk) 09:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop moving the damn page. You made a bold move by moving it to "Hikounin" before and I moved it back to "Unofficial". That means per bold, revert, discuss, we should start a discussion as to what the title of the page should be (namely a requested move discussion). That does not mean that you move the page again to the "Hikōnin" variant. I've moved the page back to the status quo version. If you want to suggest that the article title be changed at this point, follow the instructions at WP:RM and do not continue to edit war or else you may be blocked in order to prevent disruption of the project.—Ryulong (琉竜) 10:41, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By "plastered in English", I mean that there are no Japanese language sources that show that they use "HIKOUNIN SENTAI AKIBARANGER" or any variation when presenting anything in English language text, at least as far as I am aware. And please heed the request I have on my talk page and respond to my comments here rather than starting another section on my user talk. You are free to remind me to check back here with {{talkback}}, but I do not like having conversations on two separate pages because you treat it as a private messaging system rather than a threaded conversation.—Ryulong (琉竜) 10:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The following photographs were taken at the Tamashii Features Vol. 3 event taking place March 31 and April 1, 2012, before Akibaranger was even broadcast: 1, [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. I don't see the English letters spelling out "HIKOUNIN" anywhere.—Ryulong (琉竜) 11:01, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Took you long enough! Thank you. Case closed.

Why didn't you just say "Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger" is used in Japan, and showed me these images immediately? Why did you have to be vague instead? Is this really so hard? Despatche (talk) 11:09, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because I did not know they existed until I went searching for them.—Ryulong (琉竜) 12:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh.

Well.

Neither did I. :V

I don't know how I couldn't find them, I searched as hard as I could... Thank you very much. Despatche (talk) 13:30, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I went to see if the Figuarts boxes had English text on them like I know some of the other ones do. And then I found all that crap from the promo event last year.—Ryulong (琉竜) 14:23, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:11, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Pepsi. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I agree with you in the dispute at Talk:Pepsi, but not with the way you've conducted it. I hope you'll have a look at Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot and Wikipedia:Civility. It'll help avoid stress for all of us in the future. Ibadibam (talk) 22:37, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I find romanizations of Japanese titles that are just the English words written in Japanese pretty pointless. However, consensus is to include them anyway. So please don't remove them from the articles, as you did at Super Metroid for instance.--Atlan (talk) 14:13, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The style guide is at WP:VG/NONENG. Please adhere to it rather than going around changing titles to whatever you think is right. Also, if you romanize titles, use revised Hepburn to do it. If you wish to change the guidelines, the talk page would be the place to go.--Atlan (talk) 10:43, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right that "C1" is a little vague and I think you're wrong to say that "[the name] 'C1 NES TV' ... has no basis in reality." That term ("C1 NES TV") is in fact used by several reliable English-language sources including kotaku, gamesradar, and technologytell. There's no need to change the article name to match the Japanese name because this is English Wikipedia. You could make the argument that it should be called the Sharp Nintendo Television as this is its official name in English, but simply "C1" doesn't seem like a good move to me. -Thibbs (talk) 01:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The same goes for the SF1. The original term "SF-1 SNES TV" is used by many reliable sources. There is no need to move the page to some arbitrary new name just because the Japanese article's title doesn't match this one. -Thibbs (talk) 01:44, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Despatche, I saw your latest note and responded at my user talk page, but this issue is really a matter that should be discussed on the article talk pages. That will allow others to weigh in and I hope it will demonstrate for you that my views on the proper title are based in policy and not just personal prejudice. So if you still think that "C1 (television)" and "SF1 (television)" are the best titles then please express your view at Talk:C1 (television)#New renaming and Talk:SF1 (television)#New renaming. -Thibbs (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please try to restrain yourself from making edits like these (1, 2) while we're discussing your controversial move. This only exacerbates the problem. There will be plenty of time to make moves like this as appropriate after we've come to a consensus. -Thibbs (talk) 17:35, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can I take this edit to mean that you are interested in external opinions on this issue? If so, would it be OK for me to throw the question out to WT:VG? I'm sick of being the target of your frustrations. I understand that you meant well with the title change, but I hope that if you see how your position is not based in policy/guideline and how your view is in the minority then the anti-Thibbs ranting will stop. I didn't invent the rules, I'm merely applying them. If my application of the rules is in error then please rest assured that the others at WT:VG will quickly point that out and may side with you. That's something I'm comfortable with and I'll respect any community decision that is made regarding the title. What do you say? Shall we contact them? -Thibbs (talk) 11:59, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Hi Despatche, I just read through your recent comments and I'd like to ask you to please cool it with the suggestions that I'm trying to "ruin Wikipedia's standards" or that I "seek to destroy" articles, and that I am "a monster" of some kind. None of it is true at all. I have been actively working since before you even joined Wikipedia to ensure that these particular articles (the SF1 and C1 articles) meet the requirements to avoid deletion. Nearly all of the reliable sources that are used in these articles - the same ones you are so quick to dismiss as ill-researched know-nothing hack-jobs - were added by me. They're all that stand between the deletion squad and the articles' removal from Wikipedia. Does that sound like the work of someone who is seeking to destroy everything? It's not so much an exaggeration on your part as it is a complete inversion of reality. You could at least accuse me of OWNership if you wanted to get into my head and make me feel paranoid. Suggesting that I'm out to ruin the articles I've carefully worked to improve is just false on its face. -Thibbs (talk) 23:36, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've started an RfC on both the C1 and DF1 issues together here. Please read through it to make sure it's accurate and to express your views. Just as I've asked you to keep content-related arguments to the article talk pages, I'd also like to ask you to try to avoid carrying your AN/I complaints about my behavior over into the RfC. I hope we can resolve this fairly quickly. -Thibbs (talk) 03:12, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've had to revert some of your edits (Echochrome and related titles). Wikipedia's manual of style guidelines say that we should ignore manufacturer's "official" styling of trademarks and product names and just use normal English.(see, MOS:TM). I hope that explains why I reverted your edits, any queries please contact me. - X201 (talk) 10:19, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I had to undo your edit to Rain. Thanks, and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 15:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Payday 2, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. This is completely unnecessary. Wikipedia is far from perfect, but there is no reason go and use profanity AND WRITING IN ALL CAPS about this styling of a game. Soetermans. T / C 15:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
