Naruto stuff

I reverted them because Kagemonkey stripped the page of the English names for the Naruto jutsus... yea, I'll add back the good edits. WhisperToMe 22:24, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

STOP stripping the Jutsus page of their English names. I already told Kagemonkey to not do that. WhisperToMe 22:27, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Also, next time please use the Preview Edit button. WhisperToMe 22:35, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This format below the header title is perfectly fine: "Name: (Japanese name, Kanji, Translation) (English name)" WhisperToMe 23:22, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I prefer "English name (Japanese name)" for the header, although the 1st choice isn't so bad either.. WhisperToMe 23:42, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'd wait to see how the U.S. dub coming up in the summer goes with the people. If it does extremely poorly (e.g. 4Kids One Piece), then we can switch to the Japanese (English) format. WhisperToMe 23:53, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why are you insisting on the British spelling (armour) in the Naruto articles? I don't see why we have to use the British spelling. WhisperToMe 06:25, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If he's actively removing USian spelling and replacing, he's in the wrong. If he is writing things anew or rewriting, he is in the right. 24.76.141.128 06:27, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just noticed that I accidentally reverted your edit as well on Hatake Kakashi (here). My apologies; and I've put back your text, slightly modified. --Pentasyllabic 04:22, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that you reverted an edit I made to correct some katakana. The original was ワインド (Waindo), which would be pronounced in English like "wind", as in to wind up a toy. The correct phonetic spelling is ウィンド, with the small ィ. ウィ ("Wi/Ui") is not a native Japanese sound, therefore this combination of katakana was created to emulate it. However, if you're absoultely sure that this is incorrect, I apologize. --Tavaryn 17:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Naruto (manga)

Nice edit on Season One! Keep it up! Havok 15:31, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry but your revision on my earlier contribution to Yamato's biography is completely presumptuous, and hardly qualifies as any justified update for an encyclopedia-based site.

1) It has never once been implied that Yamato was going through Sai's belongings when he wasn't around. Even if he was, what would that have to do with his sempai's mask?

Check the other belongings on the table. You can see Sai's scroll and his bag as well.

Most ninjas carry at least one scroll with them. What makes you think that scroll belongs to Sai? Yamato has 2 of those same bags in his possession that you see on his desk, there's no reason to assume it is Sai's.

2) To claim that Yamato killed off a fellow member of the konoha village for (I'd assume) an unconfirmed conflict of interest and kept the mask is such a controversial conclusion, one especially so for a series like Naruto, where characters of any mysterious or plot-based merit are rarely killed off without explanation.

You are right. Please accept my apologies. After re-examining the scene, I concluded that it's much more likely that the mask is Sai's. Why would the emotionless "Ne" members feel the need to use different masks, anyway ^^

I still think this is a little off... Are you saying that Sai carries the same mask as his sempai?

To defend my own initial assumptions, however...

1) Yamato is an ANBU that lives behind a mask. Switching identities would be as easy for him as switching masks. This definitely makes him a candidate.

Yes, Yamato is an Anbu. However, he has a great record under the Sandaime Hokage. So neither the Sandaime, the Godaime, nor Kakashi ever suspected Yamato to have a hidden agenda. Not to mention the fact that Yamato obviously has emotions, unlike the "Ne" members.

Just mere details to add to the suspense of him actually pulling something unexpected later. I'd rather presume that Yamato doesn't have emotions, and that any indication of one is merely a front to hide the fact that he doesn't (the same way Sai pretends to be smiling all the time).

2) Danzou ambiguously asks Tsunade about the squad leader that she has delegated the task to, and leaves the room with a feeling of reassurance (one which could imply that Yamato is also under his control).

He was never told, however, who Tsunade had chosen. She only said she had chosen the person with the highest performance record while working under the Sandaime.

Of course Danzou doesn't need to be told who Tsunade chose, because Yamato already reported back to him after he was chosen ;)

Please don't blatantly make revisions without hard evidence.

The same goes for you ^^ ～卍 JadziaLover ^{会話~投稿} 卐～ 13:33, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I made no revisions, I merely added content to a detail that was completely overlooked by all you wikis.

Template

Hopefully I'll be done with the template for naruto characters soon, so we can begin adding the box to all the other characters. ;) Havok 15:46, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Regarding Naruto Pages

I see that you've been making many neat edits Naruto pages (I also appreciate the anti-Vizification campaign). What's your opinion on starting to extract major characters from Naruto characters into their own pages? Because 1. With its current length the page is really awkward and 2. I really like the way the Haruno Sakura page (for example) is now and I think it would be great for more major characters (Not-so-rookie-anymore 9, Major jonin, Sannin, to name a few obvious ones) to have a separate page like this as well, where the detail isn't buried in minor character minutiae. Then Instead of a Naruto Characters page we could have a Naruto minor characters page, and linking to the pages from the main article will be handled with links directly from Naruto (manga) plus short descriptions.

Of course, The way the page is now is all my fault, because I'm the one who set it up the character list format in the first place. D'oh. --AceMyth July 2, 2005 22:22 (UTC)

I've allready pimped this idea to JadziaLover. ;) I think we should start doing this with the major characters. Let's discuss which ones in the naruto character talk page.

I edited the caption on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naruto_ninja_ranks because Kazekage wears blue, Tsuchikage wears green, Raikage wears brown and Mizukage wears yellow. The first is obvious because Orochimaru wears a blue outfit as his Kazekage disguise. You said that the caption is not wrong but the colours are. I think there's a misunderstanding, but I hosted an anime screenshot at http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/1831/kages4qr.jpg. Look at the logos, from *left to right*, they are Kazekage, Tsuchikage, Hokage, Raikage, Mizukage. --Ackie00 July 15, 2005

Okay, I really don't get why you are using "Sandaime Hokage" and et al when you can be using "Fourth". Not only do the English translations use them, but last time I checked, a lot of fans even use that. Also, overuse of "Japanese" stuff makes it hard to comprehend to the Anglophone. I'm not meaning "The Naruto fan". I'm meaning "the average Joe".

And why not simply title the page "Gaara"? To be fair, right now "Gaara of the Desert" gets about 4200 hits while "Gaara of the Sand" gets 765, but that will change when the anime premiers in the U.S. How about we use "Gaara" for now and then switch to "Gaara of the Sand" if the anime causes anything to change.

Also... "I see that you've been making many neat edits Naruto pages (I also appreciate the anti-Vizification campaign). " - Are you trying to discourage usage of the English names on the internet? If so, this is not the place for Advocacy. You can advocate for that on usenet if you would like to do that.

You could have a Wikicity started about Naruto and there you can use whatever names you want to use there. Someone else already started a Wikicity about InuYasha. WhisperToMe 05:28, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

The "anti-vizification campaign" has nothing to do with "the internet" and everything to do with Wikipedia. The Viz translations are, let's not mince words here, a joke. Frankly, though, given your insistence in this matter, I can see only two outcomes for this dispute. Either the people who think that the article should describe the original work of art rather than one specific translation somebody decided was 00ber-notable give up or this is brought to an arbitration committee or something of the sort. Seeing as nobody is going to bother sending this to an arbitration committee you have nothing to worry about. The triumph of the Marital Arts and the Evil Eye is secure. Congratulations for getting Wikipedia pointed and laughed at. --AceMyth 21:11, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Huh? I honestly don't understand your argument, AceMyth.

Oh, and why the macrons for Choji? His name is never written in that manner even in fan circles... See, in the English manga, ninja ranks have circumflexes but characters do not have circumflexes. WhisperToMe 15:49, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Usually Japanese names are romanized how they are usually written (e.g. Junichiro Koizumi) - I would note what the "proper" spelling is in side notes and have it spelled as "Choji". WhisperToMe 20:19, 6 August 2005 (UTC) Is it okay if I make the alterations? WhisperToMe 15:54, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

But then the same would go for other Japanese names, such as Junichiro Koizumi. A lot of odd romanizations exist, and usually people leave out any indicators of how to pronounce a name. This is the English Wikipedia, so pronunciation details are usually left to footnotes (notice how I did the naming table.

For instance: "Akimichi Choji ((Japanese) Akimichi Chōji)" - What this does it is says "Akimichi Choji" is how it is usually spelled, and that the "o" om Choji is long. WhisperToMe 16:27, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

May I convert the romanizations to the ones used in the English-language versions (again, the anime adaptation is coming very, very, very soon!) WhisperToMe 03:52, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

":::I'd rather you keep the Hepburn romanization. And the anime has nothing to do with romanization.--JadziaLover 09:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)"

What do you mean the anime has "nothing to do with the romanization"..

See, generally people on EN go by the English-language forms in the dictionary (Tokyo instead of Tōkyō) or if the dubbers of anime and manga series choose to (Ayeka instead of Aeka).

Now, Ayeka instead of Aeka.

Therefore, Choji instead of Chōji...

right?

If Joe Schmoe wants to know how it is pronounced, he will see "Chōji" as a footnote somewhere. WhisperToMe 03:56, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

For instance, see Wikipedia:Japanese names WhisperToMe 04:19, 26 August 2005 (UTC) In other words, the spellings used throughout Wikipedia articles do not have to and usually do not represent proper pronunciation. WhisperToMe 04:20, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

If you stop talking about it, I think you will agree with what I am doing. I already told you that people will know about pronunciation through the footnotes, so pronunciation is a non-entity. WhisperToMe 00:00, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

JadziaLover, where's your source that says the Seven Swordsmen all wield large swords? Is it in one of the databooks? --Pentasyllabic 18:51, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the links

Thanks for linking everything on Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4, I had planned to do that but had not gotten a chance to yet. --Zeno McDohl 02:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

More Naruto naming

Regarding the VIZ anime, VIZ may introduce new names for the attacks - e.g. "Shadow Clone jutsu" WhisperToMe 04:20, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

"::::About the anime. Are they going to use new names again? Can't they just make up their minds? Well, hopefully they'll stop using Art of the Valentine and Art of Me-and-my-shadow...--JadziaLover 13:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)"

I stand by mine too, so how are we going to resolve this? WhisperToMe 22:44, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

But the footnote thing is already done throughout wikipedia for real people (Junichiro Koizumi) and for other series, such as YuYu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc. There are many cases where names are romanized in ways that aren't conventional (Ayeka of Tenchi Muyo!, Haruka Shitow of RahXephon).

And most people don't write these names with macrons.

WhisperToMe 01:24, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

The dub has a PG rating in the US, which is really good news (this shows how untouched it will be) :) WhisperToMe 05:06, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Yet more naming news... the anime uses different romanization for the ninja ranks. Chunin and Jounin are used. WhisperToMe 04:07, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Naruto Names Origins and Meanings

Hey André, remember me from NarutoForums? Anyways, I was about to add your Naruto Names: Origins and Meanings page (http://home.wanadoo.nl/debbie.kiki/) to the list of links at the bottom, and then I saw your Wikipedia name on the site. I recognized it because I've seen you edit the Naruto page a few times. I was wondering if there was a reason it wasn't already listed. I think it's a great resource, and although the layout could use some work, I think a lot of other people would agree that it's a good site to list on the Naruto wikipedia page. Let me know what you think on my talk page. --mdd4696 17:09, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Bad manners

Imagine someone had a userbox like yours for the EU for the Netherland or for other unions like the US, the UK, or the United Arab Emirates. It is just bad manners. ROGNNTUDJUU! 20:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC) First of all, I couldn't care less if someone had a user box like that. I don't really care about other people's opinions about the UK, the UAE, nor the US. If they had one for the Netherlands, I'd probably wonder why they had one and possibly even ask if I could spare the time. However, I would never even get close to being offended or angry.

Second, I live in the Netherlands. I was born and raised here. This means I'm officially a member of the EU. (Something I never had a choice in, by the way) Therefore, I have every right to express my opinion about it. Just like I did when I voted against the European constitution. If you have a problem with this, that's your right. However, please don't bother me with it. You have a user page, use it. Third, I don't like the EU. It's undemocratic and terribly disorganised, among many other faults. I'm fine with the individual countries that make up the EU. I'm also fine with economic and, extremely limited, political co-operation. I'm just against what the EU currently is and is trying to become. --JadziaLover 22:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

You are free to hold whatever opinio you like. I even share some of your concerns about the EU. I just think that you might find a more respectful way to express them than to cross an official symbol many of the several hundred million citizens of the EU countries identify with. Crossing a flag may offend. Writing what you do not like about it is completely ok. ROGNNTUDJUU! 22:59, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Please, find a different hobby. You're not making any sense and you're bothering people with your campaign against political debate employing red bars at a 45 degree angle. Unigolyn 23:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll express my opinion in any way I deem fit. It's my user page and you don't have to read it. If anyone is offended, they are free to ask me why I have that user box and if I would be so kind as to remove it. --JadziaLover 23:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I did ask why you have it and lined out why I thought it is offensive. Please remove it. Unless you do so we just have to agree to differ. ROGNNTUDJUU! 23:22, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

You asked me why I had that user box? When? --JadziaLover 23:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, you are right, I did not ask explicitly. I did ask other users, and I got your answer, too, and I still wonder why you do not choose a way to express your legitimate opinion in a way no one can find offensive. ROGNNTUDJUU! 23:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

You're joking, right? There's no way that's possible. People will always be able to be offended. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. I live by this rule. I express my opinion in any way I would not be offended by. --JadziaLover 23:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

You misinterpret your own rule. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you means respect when others feel offended just as you would expect them to respect what you find offensive. If someone found it respectful to piss on your children would you allow him to do so as long as he allows you to do so with his children, too? ROGNNTUDJUU! 23:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations on reaching a new height of rhetorical insanity. You're comparing crossing out the flag of the European Union to urinating on someone's children? Unigolyn 00:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, you're misinterpreting it. The saying means that you should not do something to someone else, if you wouldn't want the same to be done to you.

If someone wanted to piss on my children, they should allow me to piss on their too, according to this rule. However, I would never allow someone to piss on my children, therefore, I should not expect other to allow me to piss on theirs.

By the way, I do respect your opinion, I just don't share it.--JadziaLover 00:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

My example was to show you that your rule does not make sense the way you interpret it. What you write would mean Osama Bin Laden is entitled to kill US citizens as long as he would find it ok if they killed him if he did something that does not fit in his own system of values. This in the end is quite like anarchy. The saying must be applied in a broader sense in order to make sense at all, it thus is about respect of others, not respect of the rules you choose to respect yourself. ROGNNTUDJUU! 00:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

No, what I'm saying is that, once again using your example, Osama Bin Laden should not go and kill people because they don't agree with his believes, if he doesn't want people killing him because he doesn't agree with theirs. I don't like hyporchricy, you see.

Also, killing people and, in your words, pissing on other people's children are quite different situations then expressing your opinion. In the latter situation, no-one gets hurt, because you can simply ignore it. In the former two situations, people always get hurt, no matter how you look at it. --JadziaLover 00:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, they should be able to kill him if he does not agree with their beliefs. The same holds for your case. It is irrelevant if you deem it ok to cross flags, it matters whether other people find it respectless. Going to the extreme is often an effective way to show fallacies in argumentation. ROGNNTUDJUU! 00:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

No, it isn't. It's a logical fallacy, and you can't show fallacies by committing one. Grievous bodily harm or murder is not comparable to stating an opinion in any universe I'm familiar with. Any opinion you hold offends someone in this world. ANY opinion, however innocuous it seems to you. You are not the arbiter of the offensiveness of other people's opinions, nor is anyone, in a free society, because smarter people than you once realized that the harm of suppressing free expression of opinions greatly outweights the intangible harm of someone being offended by them. Furthermore, you're being obtuse by arguing this and that about the EU - your initial reaction was that all of us are disparaging Europeans - we're not. Stop embarassing yourself. Unigolyn 00:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

You don't understand. It's not irrelevant if I deem it ok to cross flags. You know why? Because, no matter what, there will always be someone that doesn't agree. By your argument, no human on this planet should be able to do anything, including not doing anything. Since it's impossible to make everyone happy, you have to establish a border for yourself. The best way to do that, in my opinion, is to either do only things you would want others to do, or to do even less then that, in order to offend even less people. These are the only ways you can avoid being a hypocrite. If you don't want others to cross out flags, don't do it yourself. If you don't mind people crossing out flags, then feel free to do it yourself. And if someone says something about it, you can deal with that on its own. --JadziaLover 00:43, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Wow, now we have a three user discussion here. Harm of course is comparable, I was just going to the extreme case to show the absurdity of the rule as suggested by JadziaLover. Furthermore, as I already explained, it is not the opinion that offends but the way in which it is expressed - or better to say not expressed, crossing a flag can mean many things you expressly did not want to express. The image has been speedy deleted anyways now as it was clearly divisive. JadziaLover, do not want to say, just think about it again, what you say means Bin Laden can kill you as long as he is ok with you killing him if he breaks his fundamentalist rules. That cannot be what Kant meant. There is not always someone that does not agree. No one disagrees with you writing you are from the Netherlands and do not like the EU. If you cross the EU flag someone will speedy delete it because it is divisive. As easy as that. ROGNNTUDJUU! 00:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

<---- You do realize that the saying is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and not "Let others do unto you as they would let others do unto them". You're looking at the saying from the wrong direction. I'm not saying that Bin Laden can kill me, because he would allow me to kill him. I'm saying that I shouldn't kill him, if I wouldn't want to be killed by him. The saying is not about the actions of others, but the actions of yourself. --JadziaLover 01:10, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

So you say he cannot kill you because it would be his rules. But you can cross his flag because that is your rules? Come on... ROGNNTUDJUU! 01:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Don't put words in my mouth. I said nothing about what he can and cannot do. I only said things about what I will and won't do. --JadziaLover 01:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I am not putting words in your mouth, I am applying your interpretation of Kant's rule. If it is like you say Bin Laden can legitimately kill you as long as according to his own rules you would be allowed to kill him if he did what you do that breaks his rules. ROGNNTUDJUU! 01:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

You are puting words in my mouth. The saying doesn't say anything about legality, nor about how you are allowed to live your life. It's all about how one should morally live one's life.

If Bin Laden would allow me to kill him, then, according to the saying, nothing is morally preventing him from killing me. Legally, however, a lot is preventing him. If he doesn't care about abiding the law, then he shouldn't complain about others abiding the law, according to the saying.

Another example would be Saddam Hussein. He didn't care about the law when he was a free man, yet, now that he's been caught, he complains about others breaking the law. This is hypocritical and morally unjust according to the saying. --JadziaLover 01:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I was not putting words into your mouth, I just showed what would happen if your interpretation of Kant was correct. Now you have elaborated it by introducing the law. That prevents me from using my extreme examples. I give you another one that is appropriate in this case. Your best friend knows you love your wife. He loves her too. As he would not mind you betraying him with his wife he would be entitled to betray you with yours. Nothing illegal, nothing against your Kant interpretation. However, obviously immoral. Might there be something wrong in your understanding?

Interesting example since I'm homosexual, but anyway. No, it would not be immoral to him. If my wife would feel I can betray her, then she too is morally free to betray me. --JadziaLover 02:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, those lousy promiscuitive fags... Just kidding, but as long as I would find it ok to be called like that if I were an immoral ...sucker - which I am - I would be entitled to call you so according to what you say. Just give in, your are wrong. ROGNNTUDJUU! 02:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Even at the risk of continuing this to the point where we both fall asleep, I do agree with Saddam that he has the full right for a fair trial just as everyone else, even the worst criminal. It is a joke he gets tried by those who started a war of aggression to get him and sentenced other people to death only a couple of decades ago for that same crime. Did you know the International Criminal Court cannot rule upon that crime because some countries insisted this crime first needed to be defined - which cannot take place before 2009? There is the UN Charter, there is a United Nations General Assembly resolution, but as long as George W. and Tony B. are in power we still have to think about what a war of aggression might be. Raging a war on a country that allows inspections of inexistent weapons of mass destruction by spies of the countries that have the biggest arsenals of such weapons themselves for sure cannot be a crime - as long as they only have Security Council veto power. ROGNNTUDJUU! 02:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

You are completely correct. Saddam has every right to a fair trial. The war on Iraq was also totally unjustified. However, that doesn't invalidate my example. --JadziaLover 02:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Good to see we agree at least about something - except for what to fancy. It proves wrong though what you wrote above, he still has all the right to complain. It was wrong what he did before the trial not what he does now. Your example cannot help you to defend your argument. ROGNNTUDJUU! 02:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Lesser enemies in Naruto

Hi JadziaLover. Do you know what 70.46.70.11 keeps changing the names on Lesser enemies in Naruto to? For example, he changed "Midare, ミダレ" to "Midari, 初夏雨嵐". Since I can't read the kanji, I was wondering what the difference between the two was. ~MDD 46 96 22:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I do... 初夏雨嵐 (Shoka ame arashi) is a rather odd way of saying "early summer rainstorm". He also changed Baiu's name to 雨期 (Uki) meaning "rainy season" and Shigure's name to 霧雨 (Shigure), meaning "drizzle". It seems he took the meanings of the characters' names and put them through Babelfish or something. The only kanji he got right were Shigure's. It's highly annoying and he's been doing this with jutsu names as well ><

Neat signature, by the way. How long before someone who doesn't know any better complains about it? ;) ~MDD 46 96 22:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'm a bit surprised no-one has complained yet ^^ Oh well, if someone complains, I'll just have to teach them about the older and more positive meaning of the swastika ^^

By the way, it appears 70.46.70.11 cleared his entire talk page.

Hi no Kuni

Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire) needs a first paragraph that identifies the context - like, what "Hi no Kuni" is, etc. The usual format: "Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire) is..." and so on. I'd do it, but I have no idea what "Hi no Kuni" is, so I can't fix the article. It seems like you know more. Cheers Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 16:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Might Guy

I went ahead and changed "Maito Guy" to "Might Guy" - VIZ is now using the latter - so Is the English anime, and so is the guidebook from Kishimoto.

Even if "maito Guy" is more common - it is incorrect. Wikipedia addresses this in the MOS. WhisperToMe 20:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

List of Naruto episodes

Each epsiode requires a 1-3 line summary... care to assist? :) --Cat out 12:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

NAZI!

Just kidding, but you might want to reconsider that, as a lot of people take offense to it. Moreover, it's generally frowned upon to have images in your signature.--Frenchman113 on wheels! 18:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I saw your reply but to be honest I agree with Frenchman113. To say they havent been used in a negative sense is completely ignorant; there are still active Neo-Nazi groups today. As someone who did take offence, which is why I came here, I strongly encourage you to reconsider. Your call however - Glen 00:00, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Japanese Names

Hey! How's it going? Anyway, I just wanted to know how you learned your japanese name. You know, if you got if off an internet website or you looked some stuff up in books about the japanese language, something like that. The reason I'm asking is because I'm interested in knowing what my japanese name is. If you can help, that would be great. If not, that's fine. ^_^ --Sasuke-kun27 01:02, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Swasticas

Hi JadziaLover. I am slightly concerned by the Swastikas on your user page and in your signature. I can't force you to remove them, but I would recommend it to avoid problems. Thanks. —Mets501 (talk) 02:32, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I, too, would like to know why you have swastikas on your signature and user page, it seems like it could be very offensive to many people, including myself. Sonic3KMaster ^(talk) 01:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

"Ninjas" again

Well, they revereted the category "Fictional ninja" to "ninjas", and now want to make this with everything ninja (all "ninjas").

Guess you'd be interested. --HanzoHattori 18:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I went and reverted all of the "ninjas" to "ninja" after seeing that you did so for Psylocke's page. Hopefully it will stick. Utrecht huh? Ever hear of the band Wagtale? ---D--- (talk) 19:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Japanese

Hello, Im Tintor2 and I need to ask you a favour. After some work in Himura Kenshin I found some interesting designs explanation that show some artwork of the designs of the characters. The point is that I dont know if they are pre-designs or other stuff as they explanation is written in japanese. User Sesshomaru told me you know japanese so I would like to ask you if can tell me the meaning of those japanese words since they may help in the part creation and conception. The designs that I would need for the Himura Kenshin character are [1] and [2] Thanks. Any question ask me.Tintor2 (talk • contribs) 9:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, Tomoe is a pretty important character from the series(that info would be pretty important). Those details about the x scar would very important since it is one of the most important part of the series. Also, if you could, can you give me that information in separate paragraphs since the images show the development of the characters in differents parts of the series.(Like if were seeing a design of Part I Gaara and Part II Gaara). Something like this:

1
2

One last thing I want to ask is that those were pre-designs or new designs? Well, thanks a lot. Sorry to bother.Tintor2 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

天鈿女命

Hello. Regarding 天鈿女命, both Nikkoku and Daijirin give the reading as "ama no uzume". That was my reason for reverting. You neglected to mention that the Japanese Wikipedia article also lists it in parentheses. However, both the Iwanami Nihon Bungaku Taike Kojiki as well as the Shōgakukan Nihon Koten Bungaku Zenshū Kojiki list it as "ame no uzume". (I will skip checking Nihon Shoki unless requested.) Of course without man'yōgana, the issue can not be settled with any certainty. Also, the point is rather mood when you recognize that in OJ -a and -e₂ are a result of ablauts. So I do not oppose the current naming, but the alternative should also be mentioned. Bendono (talk) 11:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course the alternative should also be mentioned! I don't know why I forgot to do that in the first place. My apologies for this. I'll change it immediately. JadziaLover (talk) 16:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
