July 2017

Hello, I'm Jd02022092. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. jd22292 (Jalen D.

August 2017

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. jd22292 (Jalen D.

Japanese footnotes

Please desist from adding extended Japanese-language footnotes in articles with well established English-language common names. The Japanese title is only helpful when it will actually aid the general reader in establishing the topic, such as when the title is a transliteration of the Japanese. Products do not need their Japanese titles in the lede only because they were developed in Japan. Almost all Nintendo games, for instance, do not need Japanese transliterations. Secondarily, know that spree-editing is generally frowned upon on WP. If a batch change is needed and would otherwise require massive cleanup if done incorrectly, editors usually attempt to find consensus before acting, as a courtesy to the community. czar 18:28, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm also requesting you stop this. Beyond the fact that they're unnecessary when we've got official versions from the companies, I'm pretty sure some of your suggestions have been...not totally accurate...anyways. For example, your work on I Am Setsuna as "lit. Setsuna's Snow and Elephants]" is not something I've seen replicated anywhere else. (Most use variants of "sorrow" or "sacrifice", not "elephants", which makes zero sense in the context of what the game is.) Someone took issue with your Dragon Quest XI notes too, which was another case of your version being not something I've seen elsewhere... Sergecross73 msg me 18:58, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have it mixed up, I never added that translation for the Dragon Quest page and you already notified of what I did in the page's history of "I am Setsuna". I'm just trying to help the best way I can. --PSI Thunder (talk) 00:01, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not helping. ([1] converts the item to a note section when no note section was needed.) There are plenty of other ways to contribute. I don't know how to be any clearer about why you've been asked to stop making these edits, especially in quick succession, and especially in a drive-by fashion. If you continue, you risk being blocked. czar 04:58, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, it was undeniably you who made the change. You made the change right here, you changed it to Passing away and Seeking Time, another version of a name I have not seen used anywhere else. I'm glad you're trying to help, and I hope you continue to keep helping...but this isn't really helping. Please find another way to help. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 13:46, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think I forgot I added it there. My mistake. --PSI Thunder (talk) 14:41, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the future, it's only useful to footnote the Japanese text when the title is a transliteration of the Japanese. If the title has an official English-language (Latin alphabet) name and there is no specific connection to Japan, there is no need for the Japanese either in a footnote or the lede.

Ref tags for footnotes

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that when you use add plain <ref> tags to create footnotes, they show up under {{reflist}} like any other citation, not under under {{notelist}}. You either need to specify which group of footnotes the ref tag belongs to or use a template such as {{efn}}.--IDV^talk 23:07, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But someonelse already notified me of the Japanese footnotes that I previously used, now I'm confused whether I should use <ref></ref> or {{efn}}. --PSI Thunder (talk) 23:15, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what that person said to you so I can't comment on that - I'm just saying that if you want to add footnotes to a notelist, plain ref tags don't work.--IDV^talk 23:18, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So does that I mean I should go back and revert the edits back? --PSI Thunder (talk) 23:26, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the article uses a notes section, use {{efn}} to add to the {{notelist}} template. If it does not have a notes section (and does not need one), use {{refn}} (or <ref>) to add to the existing {{reflist}} template. IDV was just making a point of verifying that the footnote appears in the right section. czar 00:55, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
