Maintainer
[edit]Please stop adding yourself as a maintainer to articles when you have done no work on them and are not one of the article's primarily editors. It can be seen as an insult to the other editors who have done the work on the article when you have made no major contributions to it. Additionally, looking at your contribs, you seem to be very new to Anime and Manga articles. I would suggest you get much more experience in this arena before claiming to be a maintainer and stepping on toes. :) Collectonian (talk) 22:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- I have been experimenting with them in a subpage. I will have them ready for WP:GA? by next Sunday. --MahaPanta (talk) 22:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Can you please provide links to these subpages and discuss it with the active editors of those articles? Making a massive change to an article without discussing it with the active editors will likely result in some discord, particularly when you are unfamiliar with anime and manga articles. Collectonian (talk) 22:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Most of it is on my test server, which runs on Arch Linux, the "Don't Panic" version. You are also presuming a few things that are not true, let me clear up a few:
- This isn't my only account.
- This isn't my only account that is involved with the anime project.
- This isn't my first account
- This isn't my first account that is involved with the anime project.
- This isn't the only MediaWiki I edit on.
- I edit on some Wikis that only accept anime and manga articles.
- At other Wikis that use the same coding as Wikiped, I am a SysOp, so I know what I'm doing.
- This includes the one I created by myself.
- You also incorrectly assumed I planned on making these changes all at once. This should have been evident when you said you wanted the article to be a Featured Article and I suggested we take it one step at a time. I do have to admit that I incorrectly assumed you were inexperienced at this point.
- Basically I've been using computers since Windows 3.0, when programming meant making a batch file and the closest thing to Wikipedia was usernet groups.
I hope this has cleared a few things up. --MahaPanta (talk) 00:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Not really. If you have multiple accounts and decided this one will now work on anime and manga, that's fine. What other Wiki's do and your experiences in other Wikis is, honestly, irrelevant. I run a Wiki myself and edit our work wiki, but of course they both have different guidelines than Wikipedia, which has many guidelines and policies that other Wikis could care less about. Most anime and manga wikis are little more than fansites that require none of the sourcing, tone, neutrality, etc that Wikipedia does. Knowledge of programming and lengthy computer experience is also irrelevant (I have the same, and would never presume that somehow makes me a better editor). It seems we both have misperceptions about one another, though, so that's fine. I just wanted to be sure you were keeping in mind that while many of our articles are, unfortunately, sadly lacking in editor attention, not all are so I wanted to be sure there was no toe stepping. While we work by consensus and of course, no one owns articles, several articles do have primary editors who have done the majority of the work, so its always good to keep them in mind. :-) Collectonian (talk) 00:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I understand all of that. I was just letting you know that I'm not new to Anime and Manga articles. I'm sorry if I seemed to be "toe stepping", but a little over three months ago I was in an accident at work and Vocation Rehabilitation has not cleared me to go back, so for over 3 months I have been working on articles on my test server instead. So I've been doing that 40+ hours a week plus the normal time (at least another 20 hours a week) I spend on it which is too much because of my insomnia, which is probably why I'm not making sense. I whole heartily agree with what you said about "unfortunately, sadly lacking in editor attention", and that's why I did what I did. --MahaPanta (talk) 00:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Out of curiousity, why work on them on your test server instead of on Wikipedia itself? And trust me, I know what you mean on insomnia. Just to note, though, Trinity Blood (at least) has active editor attention even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment ;) Collectonian (talk) 00:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- A couple of years ago this one Admin would undo every edit I made saying it didn't meet Wikipedia standards or wasn't formated properly, and never gave me the chance to fix anything. I closed that account and opened another with a personal sandbox on my user page. That eventually lead to me installing a copy of MediaWiki on my test server because people would edit my user/sandbox or complain about it appearing in categories it didn't belong in. --MahaPanta (talk) 01:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I can see how that would get frustrating. I ended up CSDing one of my sandbox pages because an editor who I was in a dispute with would not leave it alone. Beyond that, though, no one really bothers them much except bots removing images non-free images (cause I always forget not to include those while working out of article). Collectonian (talk) 01:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for understanding. I read your userpage, do you realize your a WikiImp? <(*w*)> --MahaPanta (talk) 03:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Only sometimes. :P I will do "drive by tagging" on articles in the anime/manga project or for the TV project, but other times I'd say I was a WikiDragon. I have quite a few articles I've done significant work on, including a featured article and a few featured lists with many more planned. :) Collectonian (talk) 04:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- WikiDragon? Before saying that, had you seen the banner I added to the top of my userpage before my last message? My third account was a WikiDragon before our registry was deleted. I don't know why it was deleted and not merged with WikiDragon. --MahaPanta (talk) 04:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I saw it after answering, and yes. While I do some drive by tagging, I also do some extensive editing on other articles and I've gotten into more than a few arguments over my being bold in my attempts to clean up stuff. Just depends on my mood if I'm feeling impish or dragonish or something else. :P Collectonian (talk) 04:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
ref (split from above for clairity)
[edit]Also, I think you may have misunderstood what the refimprove tag indicates. It doesn't mean "clean up the references" in terms of formatting. It means that more references are needed. *grin* Collectonian (talk) 22:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Again, this is a mistake because I add some to the subpage I made, and I haven't moved them yet because I just got another call from my mother, she broke her leg again, and I need to take her to the hospital again. As soon as I get back, I will compare the articles to the custom sandboxes I made on my server. --MahaPanta (talk) 22:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
TOC
[edit]Just a reminder, but __TOC__ does not need to be manually added to an article, as you did in Fullmetal Alchemist The only time it may be necessary to add it is to have it appear in a different place from the standard (before the first header), to force it to appear when it normally wouldn't (doesn't have at least three headers), or if to use a different format of TOC, which would use a different tag. Collectonian (talk) 23:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Part habit, part because I'm coping it my changes over while I'm feeling sick.--MahaPanta (talk) 23:45, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- No prob, I hope you feel better! Collectonian (talk) 23:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. --MahaPanta (talk) 23:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review for File:JR Fun Big.gif
[edit]An editor has asked for a deletion review of File:JR Fun Big.gif. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
I do agree as well.
[edit]I almost wet myself when I saw that an involved editor (who happens to have the power of adminship) reverted a good faith edit, called it vandalism, then protected the page to the version that he prefered. The more I think about it, the more it ticks me off.--Jojhutton (talk) 03:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- So he's not even an admin, yet he can lock everyone but admins out? I also find it hipocritical that the template at the top mentioning the protection convesation mentions WP:GOODFAITH.--MahaPanta (talk) 03:20, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- No I think that he is an Admin. Sorry if I made it sound that he might not be. BTW, there is a discussion about him at WP:ANI. You should check it out.--Jojhutton (talk) 03:33, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's still hypocritical to have the WP:GOODFAITH at the top of the talk page of an article that only Admins are trusted to edit.--MahaPanta (talk) 03:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- The article seems to be semi-protected now. Hopfully that ill the end of Admins making policy with their admin tools.--Jojhutton (talk) 04:22, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The person who took File:JR Fun Big.gif to AFD, did it incorrectly so I opened the deletion review. Aervanath clossed the discussion with the outcome to delete only if the author refussed to email his permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Please undo the delete.--MahaPanta (talk) 19:44, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- That won't be possible. The author has to send in the permission, then the image will be undeleted. Stifle (talk) 20:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- That's how I understood Aervanath's closing statement at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2009_June_23. Could you atleast undelete the talk page. Even if you think undeleting the image hurts Wikipedia, there can't be any harm in leaving the discussion page for the file open.--MahaPanta (talk) 20:50, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- There is also no use that I can see in having it present. You were the only one who contributed to it; if you need your messages for some reason, I'll copy them to a subpage of yours.
- Undeleting the image has nothing to do with hurting Wikipedia, it's because it would be a copyright violation for us to use it. Stifle (talk) 08:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- You see, there's the problem, I was the only one to follow the policies, and I got screwed.
- I was refering to the discussion page, but speaking of the image, the author gives free use of all his characters on his webpage.--MahaPanta (talk) 14:12, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- You selected one guideline page which stated a subset of the possible reasons for an image being speedily deleted. There are others, which are listed at WP:CSD. I have updated WP:GID accordingly.
- Can you please provide proof of your claim about free use? Stifle (talk) 14:19, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- You'll suppose to discuss major changes before you make them, epecially templates that can effect multiple pages. That's why they have extra guidelines, and the image was being used in a template. The short is that every deletion guideline I've read says to discuss it first. That would prevent mistakes like this.
- [1] --MahaPanta (talk) 14:32, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Removing an image that violates copyright is not a major change; trust me, there are dozens deleted every day.
- That page gives permission to use an image as an avatar, on livejournal, or on a blog. Wikipedia is not any of those, and in any case images here must be free for use in any media whatsoever. Stifle (talk) 14:38, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- It made a major change to my template.
- You left out the "etc" which stands for "et cetera" a Latin expression meaning "and other things", "and so on", or "any whatsoever". So he did say that his characters and their images is free for use in any media whatsoever.--MahaPanta (talk) 14:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

- Unfortunately, it is not precise enough for Wikipedia. Stifle (talk) 15:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- It was requested that I chime in. So I'm chiming in. MahaPanta, I must agree that the permission specified doesn't really include the Wiki, even if it may seem evident that it's okay. What Scott has described is what's considered personal use. WikiMedia requires that all images be eligible for commercial use. I doubt he wants people to be able to sell his images. We still need to you shoot an email to scott at vgcats dot com. Ask him whether it's okay to use his cartoons on Wikipedia, and let him know that his response to the email will be filed with the WikiMedia OTRS. Please be sure he knows that any image he grants permission for WikiMedia may be used by anyone for commercial purposes. Let us know the results, and forward the permission to OTRS. Please don't delete the email until the matter is resolved, just in case you need it as proof. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 19:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
