Bohemia Visual Music

OK, you and User:98.165.185.243 seem to be in a bit of an edit war over the Bohemia Visual Music article. Normally, I'd side with you and chide the other user for removing sourced material. However, the link you provide is dead, so 98 is right in reverting your edits. Please check your link again and provide an active link as a reference. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Heh, you don't need my permission to include a link. I certainly won't touch it, although I can't guarantee others won't. That's the nature of Wikipedia. I just thought you'd like to know that you had a dead link before. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Just as with User:98.165.185.243, I need to remind you to always provide an edit summary. Just saying "rv" on a revert doesn't tell anyone why the text should be reverted.

BTW, nice AZ-TV logo! dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

BVM Redux

I appreciate the changes you're making on the Bohemia Visual Music, but you now have a couple of serious issues to rectify. Using the DMA ranking is a no-no, per the conflagration we had recently with the Nielsen Company. Also, the section on future affiliates needs to either be sourced or removed. I'll give you a chance to make the necessary changes as you see fit, but I will have to if you don't. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:21, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: State By State Templates

If you have some time, I could really use some help reverting this mess. Trying to figure out what goes where, what redirects to what (and there are lots of them) and with TWINKLE, it is hard. If you could round up a couple people to help, here and here are the contribs in question. Any help you can give would be appreciated. - NeutralHomer • Talk • December 22, 2008 @ 05:01

Re: "borderline vandalism"

What I am trying to find out from JPG-GR (though he seems to be out at the moment) is that if I revert that no references will be lost. To me, it appears several references will be lost and I am trying to get the article to Good Status....I need all the references I can get. - NeutralHomer • Talk • January 9, 2009 @ 00:23

Broader concerns about reversions

Hi. I took a look at some of your other recent reversions and am concerned that you have mislabeled these four [1] [2] [3] [4] edits as WP:Vandalism which the clearly are not. I'm not saying they're constructive or accurate edits or not - I have no idea, but they're not vandalism. There are more, but there is no point in enumerating further. You need to be much more careful about your reversions. Toddst1 (talk) 06:30, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Moving discussion back to your talk page

I only reverted 2 edits within 24 hour on the ABC Kids (US) article not 3 so i am not violating the three-revert rule. Powergate92Talk 20:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

74.170.198.238 also did not violating the three-revert rule as this edit is not the same as this edit. Powergate92Talk 02:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Have you even read WP:3RR? You've got 6 reverts over 6 days. Toddst1 (talk) 06:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

WP:3RR doe's not say anything about 6 reverts over 6 days it says "Contributors must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period" Powergate92Talk 16:43, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

You're interpreting it far too narrowly. "The rule does not entitle editors to revert a page three times each day."Toddst1 (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I strongly suggest discussion rather than reversion. Toddst1 (talk) 16:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

February 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Saban Capital Group, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Dori (Talk • Contribs) 03:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the Saban Music Division

I think the information should be left as is. I just updated it (along with the Saban Capital Group article) to reflect the music division's current status. The music division is an important part of the history of the company that is now BVS Entertainment, so I don't think it should be moved at all, hence my updates to the articles in question. Brittany Ka (talk) 17:36, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

You said that the TV shows Saban Records/Entertainment merely did the music for should be moved to the Saban Capital Group article. That's a bad idea, actually. Saban Music Group no longer actively provides music for TV shows from what I've read on their official website. I think that now they just control and enforce the copyrights to the music they've already made. I think those entries should remain on the Saban Entertainment article. It's the same division, but in a different configuration, and now part of a different corporate entity. Brittany Ka (talk) 18:01, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

List of Power Rangers: RPM episodes

I have reverted the above page back to a redirect, as it was unsourced. Even tagged as such, a tag placed by you yourself.

Power Rangers 2010

I am sorry, but I have removed this claim.

Find some more reliable sources, please. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 04:30, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Number of episodes

I've made my own separate decision on what the tables should have on these articles.

• Having no number still shows the link to the episode list and
• In general, articles about ongoing series with multiple seasons (like Power Rangers) have their episode numbers updated seasonally instead of weekly or daily.

If you think this should be different, this should be brought up separately at WT:TOKU.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

What separate decision are you talking about? I don't see a separate decision. Powergate92Talk 04:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I decided on something entirely different than using "Ongoing" which I describe above. Just because WP:TV says there's no guideline does not mean that Mythdon and your idea is automatically right. Things like this require consensus, and I've changed my idea to try to make a new consensus.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Take this discussion to an appropriated place, but for now.... episode summaries are not referenced. This is not the place to discuss this and frankly this place is everywhere. So for now stop and start a new discussion on a Wikipedia noticeboard okay? --TIAYN (talk) 20:42, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Take this discussion to the WikiProject Stargate talk page... All other articles on wikipedia are referenced this way so this culture should continue..... --TIAYN (talk) 17:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

You don't need to reference the series overview or character sections. Get it through your head. The series overview doesn't need to be referenced....... See Lost (TV series)#Season synopses, its not referenced, the series overview section is not referenced..... because the plot itself is referenced by the show, the series........ You don't see GA episode articles referencing the plot in the article or the characters... You seem to follow the manual guidelines as your freaking bible when i edit an article.... But when it comes to articles such as GateWorld you don't care because you want them there..... Stop reverting my edits on that page, okay?..... --TIAYN (talk) 19:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

But you don't need to reference character and the plot overview, its not done in featured article tv series' pages here on wikipedia, why then why should be done on the SGI page? --TIAYN (talk) 20:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I've reverted your edits on all the Stargate related articles, and if you continue i'll get an administrator to talk to you (User:Sgeureka). You don't seem to know what your doing and your not helping.... Question how can a FL be unsourced? If it was unsourced it wouldn't have been promoted to FL status had it? STargate SG-1 it sourced, in the GA nominations it was never brought up that it was unsourced.... The majority seem to disagree with your edits, leave it be and instead of reading the manuals like it is your bible, look at FL and FA and see how they are written and sourced. You don't have a clue of what you are doing. --TIAYN (talk) 14:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm taking this discussion up with the wikiproject, and remember when the majority of newly elected FL and FA are not following the rules, you don't need to follow them. --TIAYN (talk) 14:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

The majority if not all of the wiki articles follow my rules, you can't expect Stargate related articles are going to be the only ones that follows your stupid guidelines can you?

If you want to start a edit war fine, but i'm not the only one thats reverting your stupid edits, Matthew R Dunn did it yesterday and more will follow and why in gods mind should these articles follow the guidelines which no ONE ELSE FOLLOWS, look at FA and FL, they don't follow your stinking rules and guidelines. Take this discussion up were it should be taken, but don't refernece tag articles which agree with the majority behind wikipedia. If you add your reference tags i'll revert them. --TIAYN (talk) 18:48, 21 June 2009 (UTC)--TIAYN (talk) 18:48, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Powergate over here is not listening to reason, while i see the need for guidelines. I follow how FA are written and all them share on thing in common. Plot or overview section are not referenced, while i know this goes against the guidelines. It seems to me that this particurlar one is not followed. I've asked powergate92 to start a discussion about this many times, but he denies and rejects and wants to continue edit warring instead. My reason for doing this, is that most of those rules when referencing guidelines and list of episode articles are that the majority of them are refernced the same way i reference them. See FA Star Wars, Doctor Who and Lost (TV series) among others. Here are FL List of Stargate SG-1 episodes, List of Lost episodes and List of Doctor Who episodes. All those FA and FL and more are referenced the same way i reference them, but he is bent on following these guidelines which no one follows, at least the majority as i've noticed.

Just a note, i'm note the only one that disagrees with this guys edits, an example is this. I would love to discuss this, so we can get to a conclusion about this guidelines which is not being followed. So any comments?

Also note, when the majority follows the same rules as i, they are not my rules --TIAYN (talk) 19:10, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Template:Future television series at Stargate Universe

I just noticed this edit. Considering I removed the template just a day ago, was that a revert, or did you not notice my previous edit? I removed the template per its guidelines, which say (and used to say) that it should only be used when there's some kind of issue with the article. I don't see any at this one, and, more importantly, the article already makes it very clear that it is about an upcoming future television show, so saying exactly the same thing right above the article seems a bit pointless. If you disagree with this, I'm happy to discuss this. :) --Conti|✉ 09:21, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Reference tags at Decade characters article

Arrowned told me that you were the one that added the many reference tags at the article I mentioned, and I started a discussion about it. I really find these tags very ugly to look at and I'm not sure if they're really necessary, especially tags that take you to an episode's page at the official site where it's already linked to at the Decade episodes article.

I don't see these tags scattered everywhere in the characters pages of other Kamen Rider instalments so why is the Decade characters page the only one to have them? --Burai (talk) 11:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Really?

Do Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers really need references to show that the series was created by Haim Saban? Something like that is so freaking obvious that any statement with that fact in it does not need to be cited.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:34, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers really need references to show that the series was created by Haim Saban as if there no reference anyone can remove the info per WP:Verifiability and WP:No original research as WP:Verifiability says "Any material lacking a reliable source may be removed" and WP:No original research says "Material for which no reliable source can be found is considered original research". Powergate92Talk 00:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh please. The end of each show had a huge SABAN logo thing. Certain factoids can be taken for granted as verifiable without a reference.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:24, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The Saban logo is for Saban Entertainment not Haim Saban so it can not be used as a source for Power Rangers was created by Haim Saban. Powergate92Talk 00:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Haim Saban owns Saban Entertainment. Saban Entertainment produced Power Rangers. Therefore, Power Rangers was created/produced by Haim Saban.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Not all shows made by Saban Entertainment were created by Haim Saban as Goosebumps (TV series) was not created by Haim Saban. Powergate92Talk 01:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Fine for that, then.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:14, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

This is also common sense. Shinkenger is on at 7:30, which is followed by Decade at 8:00, both of which make up the Super Hero Time block. If Double will be airing at 8:00 too, then it will also be part of the Super Hero Time block.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

There could be a schedule change or the Super Hero Time block could be defunct by then, so you will need a source for that info. Powergate92Talk 00:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Doubtful. The block has been on for years and it is very unlikely that it will suddenly stop mid-season (unlike one of its shows, but there are references for that).—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

As there is no source that info it should be fact tag or removed per WP:Verifiability and WP:No original research. Powergate92Talk 01:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Common sense dictates that it will be airing after Shinkenger and that Shinkenger will remain part of Super Hero Time. There does not need to be a fact tag for such an inconsequential statement.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:14, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

And again that info should be fact tag or removed per WP:Verifiability and WP:No original research as WP:Verifiability says "Any material lacking a reliable source may be removed, but editors might object if you remove material without giving them sufficient time to provide references, and it has always been good practice, and expected behavior of Wikipedia editors (in line with our editing policy), to make reasonable efforts to find sources oneself that support such material, and cite them. If you want to request a source for an unsourced statement, consider tagging a sentence by adding the {{fact}} template" and WP:No original research says "Material for which no reliable source can be found is considered original research". Powergate92Talk 01:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It is a bloody common sense thing. It would be original research to say that the programming block would not exist. It would be original research to say that the other show would be cancelled. Therefore, it is perfectly fine to say that Double will air after Shinkenger during Super Hero Time/Nichi Asa Kids Time.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It is original research to say that the programming block would still be on. Powergate92Talk 02:57, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

...No. It'd be original research to say that the programming block would be dissolved.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

As there is no reliable source that says the block will still be on it is original research as WP:No original research says "Material for which no reliable source can be found is considered original research". Powergate92Talk 03:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Using one's common sense is not original research. The content is there because it is true beyond any reasonable doubt except your narrow view of policies. It is something so trivial that it does not need to be proven with an external link, because there is no official website anywhere that will say that these two programs are part of that programming block until both actually appear in the programming block once the show premieres. Stop harping on this one fact, and stop leaving me talkback templates on my user talk.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I just started a discussion about this at Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#Is this original research. Powergate92Talk 17:49, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Just fucking drop it already. It's a sentence that is so minimal to the whole of the article. Find something better to do.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:57, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

• Been watching this madness from afar and if I may, I would like to offer some advice to you both. Powergate92, don't be such a stick in the mud for wanting each sentence to have a reference...some really don't need them. Ryulong, add the damned reference. You could have had this long unnecessary discussion over with hours ago. I would ask you both to find a corner of Wikipedia and chill in it for awhile before coming near each other again. Again, just some advice, you are welcome to completely ignore it. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 19:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
  • As much as this is helpful, Powergate92 has found another sentence that must need a reference. I would like anyone to find a website or news article that says Choushinsei Flashman was broadcast in Brazil in 1988 as it says over at pt:Super Sentai#Exibição original no Brasil. There will never be such a statement anywhere, and it is not original research to say it happened, Powergate92.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

In the Super Sentai article there is also the Mecha section that needs sources and the United States section needs more sources as info like "Himitsu Sentai Goranger was also broadcast on Japanese-language stations in Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles, California in 1976–77. J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai was also broadcast in Los Angeles, California following Himitsu Sentai Goranger" needs a source. Powergate92Talk 22:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Non free historical logos and logo galleries

Thanks for thinking about me when you seen this post. This is one of my biggest sticking points is people who wipe out logo galleries because they violate "WP:NONFREE". Hell, even User:A Man In Black, the biggest remover of these galleries, stopped when he found out that he was quoting the rule wrong. Damage was done though. But these posts get a little heated and kinda bring out the worst in me, so I will watch from the sidelines. Thanks for letting me know though. Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • 23:00, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Primary sources and fictional subjects

No one is ever going to write about episodes, television characters, or other aspects of television shows such as Power Rangers, Stargate, etc. Stop tagging these articles as needing better sourcing or only using primary sources. The use of the primary sources, as direct descriptions of the subject matter from the television program, is fine. You are citing policies that have nothing directly involved in the discussion of television shows but are about biographies of living persons, current events, historical events, or scientific principles.

WP:No original research only really applies to fictional subjects when articles analyze the subject by saying "This object/character does this because..." and that explanation was never stated in any sort of media relating to the fictional subject.

In short, stop tagging these articles as needing better sourcing. It's not perfect, but it's okay. Your obsession with this is not helping the articles.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:49, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello. It's not that I object, but I really do think Ryulong is going to revert your archiving of the talk page whenever he starts editing again.

The English page should not give undue weight to the Brazilian Portuguese broadcast. That is why it is not included in the infobox.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:20, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Why should the Brazilian broadcast not be listed? I seen other TV show articles that list the Brazilian broadcast when the Brazilian broadcast episodes ahead of the US e.g. The Spectacular Spider-Man (TV series). Yes the Brazilian broadcast is ahead of the US broadcast here's a link for the Brazilian version of episode 16.[6] Powergate92Talk 22:46, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't care. The original broadcast is in the US. It does not matter what other pages do. This is a different article.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:47, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

The original broadcast of episode 16 up is in Brazil not the US. Powergate92Talk 22:51, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

It does not matter. The country of origin is the United States. Not Brazil.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:53, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

When Japanese shows air in the US, the US airing is listed e.g. Ultraman Tiga. Powergate92Talk 23:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

That is because it was dubbed into English and shown in the US and this is the English Wikipedia. The Brazilian broadcast can be given greater weight on the Portuguese Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:34, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

If you have issue with a specific editor's actions, it is normally best to raise it with them. Common decency at least should suggest that it would be polite to notify me if you're starting discussions about me left, right and center. J Milburn (talk) 19:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

And you should read this policy. Station logos are non-free images, and so must be treated just like any other non-free image. Such excessive use of non-free images is not acceptable. J Milburn (talk) 20:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

That would be wikilawyering, which is not going to get you anywhere. If you feel that a guideline should not be followed, you will have to provide a good reason, not just say "it's a guideline, SO I CAN DO WHAT I LIKE!". In any case, the non-free content criteria are policy. The non-free content guidelines are just help on interpretting them. J Milburn (talk) 21:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review for King Mondo

An editor has asked for a deletion review of King Mondo. 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. Exxolon (talk) 21:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Image Gallery Deletions

If there is ever another user who decides to wipe out some galleries, please just let WP:TVS know. I appreciate you letting me know, but the whole back and forth thing with J Milburn, his personal attacks and threats were a little much and gave me a nice tension migraine. I would rather not deal with that anymore. Please just let WP:TVS know and someone there can handle it. Take care...NeutralHomer • Talk • 00:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I responded to both. Not sure it will do anything...the images are still up for deletion against consensus and the ruling of Godwin and will be deleted. J Milburn should be blocked for essentially superceding Godwin and consensus and should have his sysop pulled for using his admin abilities to do so while stonewalling users who disagree and threatening them with blocks while hurling personal attacks all with a condescending attitude. But he won't...he is just another User:A Man In Black who will use his tools to serve his way of thinking and stonewall/threaten others. That is exactly the reason I have drifted away from WP:TVS, it isn't worth the aggravation. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 05:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I advise you ignore Neutralhomer. Almost all of what he has said above is so wrong that I don't know where to start refuting it. J Milburn (talk) 18:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

You can look at my archives for exactly what I am talking about and the archives of WT:TVS show the consensus plus the words of Godwin....all of which you (Milburn) have ignored. Also, was that a veiled personal attack? - NeutralHomer • Talk • 19:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Powergate, if you even care about this issue any more, you can rest assured that Godwin was talking about legal issues, while I'm talking about the NFCC, so I have not ignored him at all. You can also rest assured that our NFCC have consensus. Finally, you can rest assured that that was not a personal attack in any way. J Milburn (talk) 20:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

You can also rest assured that my head hurts from all this and I will be taking a Wikibreak following the end of this discussion....whenever that is. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 21:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

• I think the discussion at WP:MCQ is going to be a discussion on whether or not the images fit under NFCC. I will say it now, that discussion is going to get heated when all the parties get going from WP:TVS (who aren't aware of what is going on) and others. This should be interesting....but hopefully, it will lead to consensus one way or the other and not just what one user thinks. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Ryulong removing other's comments

Thanks for leaving this message to Ryulong's talk page. Let me tell you that Ryulong has been removing my comments without my permission as well, and when I approach him on his talk page about it, he reverts. He did this to me a few hours ago. I approached him regarding this removal asking him how it was "unimportant" and asking him to please restore the comment, but reverted my request without restoring my comment on WT:TOKU. Ryulong has reverted your comment on his talk page as well. What do you think? —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 04:55, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ryulong

In response to your report against Ryulong, I think he should be blocked now that he keeps removing users comments without their prior permission. I also want to remind you of this message I sent you earlier today regarding a warning you gave him. His continual removals of peoples comments are uncalled for and should result in a block. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 20:27, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

There is no problem with the absence of strict adherence. And I would appreciate if you two would move on and find other topic areas that would actually benefit from your strict interpretations of these policies like biographies of actual people or current events, rather than TV shows that existed before the internet became common place.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:57, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Just because these are articles on television series doesn't make the strict adherence lacking benefit. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 04:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

KPNX

I'm really not sure where you're coming from here. The issue is under discussion- fine, whatever, but I'm not going to ignore the NFCC in the mean time. Unless there is a strong consensus to include non-free content, it should not be used. Please do not edit war with me over this. J Milburn (talk) 17:26, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Wrong. If there is no consensus for the logos' inclusion, they should be removed. We do not have to wait until there is "consensus for removal" before we are able to enforce policy. J Milburn (talk) 17:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Even if we pretend for a second that it is "undecided" whether the logos meet our non-free content criteria, the burden of proof lies with those wishing to include the material. Therefore, if there is no consensus for inclusion, they cannot be included. J Milburn (talk) 17:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I have explained policy. The burden of proof lies with those wishing to include non-free content, therefore, until there is consensus to include the images (and I'm certainly not seeing any) they may not be used. If you choose to ignore policy, that's your choice, but don't expect to stay around long. J Milburn (talk) 18:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

The burden of proof lies with those wishing to include non-free content, therefore, until there is consensus to include the images (and I'm certainly not seeing any) they may not be used. I've said this before. Please actually read what I'm saying. J Milburn (talk) 18:37, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you're feeling the need to run off to everyone who may disagree with me- if you believe I'm wrong, explain why. If you do not believe I'm wrong, just say so (or don't, I suppose) and go and do something else. Either way, there's no need to start contacting people. J Milburn (talk) 20:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

No, you're canvassing, otherwise you would be contacting those who disagreed with you as well. In any case, this discussion is closed, is it not? J Milburn (talk) 20:34, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Firstly, that's about the least helpful attitude I've ever heard. Secondly, that's not actually what this discussion is about. J Milburn (talk) 20:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

The discussion is about my removal of the logos; you feel that it was a poor action, I explained why it was inside policy. You now understand why my action was inside policy, and so this discussion can end... Or am I wrong in that interpretation? J Milburn (talk) 21:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

• As J Milburn has noted, the burden of proof does lie with those who wish to include content. See the last bullet point on the bottom of WP:NFCC. We do not suspend our policies because some people disagree with them, even if 20 people disagree with them. The policies remain in place until they are changed by consensus. J Milburn is acting correctly. You might not like that this is policy right now, but that doesn't mean we're to suspend it. Else, we wouldn't have policies around here because virtually every policy here has come under disagreement at one point or another. As to the guideline at Wikipedia:NFC#Non-free_image_use_in_galleries, exceptions are granted on a case-by-case basis. Casting a blanket that covers all ~2400 TV stations in the United States (not to mention a number of other countries) as one "exception" will not work. As it is, there's approximately 330 station articles with galleries of logos. We're not going to be granting 330 exceptions, much less 2400 exceptions, to our fair use guidelines. If you want these galleries to be included, you're going to have to get consensus to remove this element from our fair use guidelines, as well as modify #3a and #8 of WP:NFCC. You can begin such a process at WT:NFC. I encourage you to do so. Complaining to myself or J Milburn will not change policy or guideline, which is what you really need to have happen in order for these logos to be included. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for letting me know of the ongoing discussion, but J Milburn and I have come to a conclusion that we aren't going to agree with each other. I think the images are needed, he doesn't...we came to the "agree to disagree" conclusion and moved on. I am in the minority when it comes to the images and don't want the headache of battling it out on a board somewhere over this. Hence J Milburn and I's agreement. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 20:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't sure if we were going with the block or channel on that one (esp. since towards the end Toon Disney seemed more like a programming block compared to Jetix's time period).

Re:Subchannel Images/Pages

There shouldn't, but another admin and I came to an agreement outside of J Milburn that if the images are there now, they stay and should be moved to a proper section be it "Digital Television" or a section about the station. Otherwise, the image will be moved to its own page once it is made. We only have one person making these pages right now. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 03:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:Nptv logo.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Nptv logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 07:25, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

The same applies to Nicktoons Network- we do not need non-free images to show namechanges. Please, your edits are really getting out of hand now.

Nick Jr.

It's from a website that deals in rumors and is an unreliable source (the activity of the site suggests only a few posts a month by a few posters), so a better and more reliable site which has the logo is preferred. Also, I'm not sure pd can be claimed with the typeface, as I don't know the name of it or whether it's copyrighted (see USA Today's Gulliver font, which is under exclusive license to them, along with GE Inspira). Many of these logo changes are about establishing an easily copyrightable image and ditching fonts which are in the public domain (such as Syfy). Nate • (chatter) 02:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Did I say I was going to "start picking out every single rollback" no I did not say that. Changing a name to the wrong spelling is not vandalism please see WP:Vandalism#What is not vandalism.

Powergate92Talk 02:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't really find the PD text argument about the logo to really work; it is more cautious and appropriate to list it under the fair use licensing. I haven't had a logo challenged yet under that rationale if it belongs.

A kind warning

As of the past couple of days you have been getting overly involved in actions I have been taking on Wikipedia. You did not need to involve yourself in the image copyright issue and your comment on BillTunell's user talk was not helpful or related in any way. Do not begin investigating my reverts and my edits as you clearly have been. This is exactly how my dispute with Mythdon began. He began commenting on my use of rollback and then he was on every single page that I editted and began getting too involved with process and rules rather than encyclopedia building. If you keep treating me this way, you will also find yourself banned from commenting directly about me.

In short, stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:58, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes I did need to be in the "BillTunell and userboxes" discussion as the discussion is about public domain logos that you think are copyrighted, as you can see in my contributions I am one of the users that adds the PD-textlogo tag to logos that are public domain as they are not original enough. My comment on BillTunell's talk page is helpful and related as it is to inform BillTunell that there is a discussion about the logos at AN/I. Powergate92Talk 03:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Whatever. Also, if I start a thread here, I expect it to continue here. I have this page watchlisted anyway.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I, for one, find Powergate's talk page update to be quite helpful. You instigated the adminsitrative complaint against me, without even so much as notifying me. I find that objectionable, and would have raised the userbox-deletion issue on the administrative board had Powergate not done so. I also find it ironic that you complain about another user undoing all your previous work, given your ill-informed, wholesale reversions of so much of my userbox work. BillTunell (talk) 18:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Copyright

Because it's the arrangement of multiple numerous geometric shapes that crosses the threshold of originality. Otherwise, every copyrighted logo would have to include some type of shape that wasn't simply geometric, which is ludicrous. Black Kite 17:59, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

• Wrong. Simple geometric shapes usually cannot be copyrighted; arrangements of multiple simple geometric shapes almost always can be. Example: NBC. In fact, according to 18 U.S.C. 706, 917, even simple geometric shapes with text can still be copyrighted - believe it or not, the simple red cross with the text "American Red Cross" is copyrighted (at Wikipedia we get round this by not including the text). (Edit:) the actual text reads "Staple or commonplace designs, such as a standard geometric figure, a familiar symbol, an emblem, or a motif, or another shape, pattern, or configuration that has become standard, common, prevalent or ordinary cannot be copyrighted". The important word here is "a" - one geometric shape, in other words. As soon as you hve multiple shapes, or shapes with text, you enter the grey area of threshold of originality. When you get to an arramgement like Paramount, you're well past the grey area. Black Kite 18:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Because it's simple text on a simple background. ABC could try to copyright it, but you also have the issue that sometimes companies don't want to copyright their logo, ironically, so that it can be reproduced (for advertising purposes). Black Kite 22:34, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
    • And you would take the word of something written on Commons over that of the US Court (as posted above)? Not the course that I'd take, but ... Black Kite 22:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
      • Goes to prove my point. "The same is true of a simple combination of a few standard symbols such as a circle, a star, and a triangle, with minor linear or spatial variations". The operative word there being "Simple". Which doesn't apply to an arrangement of no less than fourteen separate symbols in a particular manner. Black Kite 06:29, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

NewYorkCity101

There is no harassment going on. The user admitted they were the same user as blocked IP 68.37.66.81 and the majority of their edits have been incorrect, against article or project consensus, bizzare attempts to blame his bad edits on a long-dead sockpuppet or taking action against accounts which have had no activity for a year, or just plain wrong and I have been warning accordingly to no avail. Since the AIV process has been pretty much rendered useless against basic tenuous editors it's harder to keep these kinds of editors to realize that this isn't a game. Also his questions on talk pages have been either incredibly inane requests any reasonable editor would dismiss or just odd (i.e. completely unneeded article splits).

Non-free logos

I think I may have found the solution to our problems regarding non-free images. For example, if you take a look at File:Mctvbbs.svg you'll see that it it will never qualify for public domain until the copyrights expire. Since everybody who's been removing the images has been asking to sourced commentary, this is as likely as sourced as it will ever get. The link I provided was to a Canadian government trademark database listing when the logos were first used and how the logos are described by the copyright owner and by legal terms per the Canadian government. I'm hoping that something like this would work and I would like your opinion on this. If it does work, I encourage you to find an American counterpart to this service.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 22:36, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

ONTv logo

If the original is copyrighted, then you can't just draw your own version and claim it to be the original logo. For one thing, it isn't the original logo - it's just your version of it - and secondly, if it's a replication of the original, it is still non-free because it's a derivative work of the original.

Seriously, STOP reverting the numbers back in. You're obviously well-intentioned, and I have no doubt you're only doing what you feel is right. However, this is becoming disruptive. I've no problem discussing this or with pointing you to the relevant recent discussions (there are lots) but if you insist on edit warring over it then that becomes a problem above and beyond the content issue. Editors have been blocked for insisting on doing what you're doing. Again, this is not a threat, but a plea for you to stop your actions before it becomes necessary. --Ckatz^chat_spy 17:40, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

List

Most seasons are released in seperate volumes, and than later released in one complete box set.. The article sais that a Complete Box Set will be released later, while i'm gessing that Stargate Universe won't be one of the few shows in the world without a Complete season box set releases. --TIAYN (talk) 20:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

And i'll do the same two you (WP:3RR). Powergate92, the writer of the article clearly stated this is not 100% sure. (Comment section) + that the information came from an interview, so they think it will might happen. And the article opens up with a "may", which means they aren't sure!!! --TIAYN (talk) 05:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm blocking you :D --TIAYN (talk) 05:59, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

You have reverted me three times, and the source your using aren't even sure about the two volumes.... --TIAYN (talk) 06:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

You have reverted me three times? See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Stargate_Universe_episodes&action=history. And as i have said to you, your source is not even sure if the show is going to be released in two volumes. Your source opens up with a "may". And the writer, David Read sais:

Folks, please remember that this is yet to be confirmed. I placed a question mark in the title because it has yet to be verified — not because I wrote it in disbelief. Just keep it in mind, it is still early and there is no guarantee until a formal announcement is made.

--TIAYN (talk) 06:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Admin note Both of you, drop it and keep this on the article talk page. Honestly, I could easily block both of you right now for this behaviour. TIAYN, you should really know better given that you just had a block for the same revert issues a few weeks ago. As for Powergate92, you were edit warring earlier today at Stargate Universe and you are breaching the spirit of the 3RR rules at the list. Note that you do not have the right to revert three times; that is only a benchmark for the guideline, and it is not a target you should be aiming for. 3RR blocks come for violations of the spirit of the rules as much as they do for the technical details. --Ckatz^chat_spy 08:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Infobox

Consensus and ideas can change over time, especially when someone in that discussion has been banned.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes consensus can change but there has not been a discussion to change the consensus so stop reverting. Powergate92Talk 21:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

You stop reverting. I don't think we need to constantly update this thing twice on one page. It's better to have one updated number rather than two.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:13, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

And now you got Black Kite to revert for you. I am going to initiate a new discussion at WT:TOKU about this issue.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I did not ask Black Kite to revert your edit, I asked Black Kite "What do you think about this?" Powergate92Talk 22:11, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

You indirectly asked him to revert.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Leave Black Kite out of our dispute. He does not need to be updated about everything I do. We had no agreement over weekly, monthly, or seasonal updates. There is a discussion at WT:TOKU which should get more than the two of us talking, because it will go nowhere. This does not mean you should go and find people who agree with you to build up a new consensus.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I was asking other user what they think about this, if you look, you will see that the users I asked (User:Ckatz and User:Black Kite) are users I disagreed with within the last month. Powergate92Talk 00:41, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Neither user needs to be asked of their opinion on these matters anymore. All that matters now is that a new consensus be reached.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:42, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Just drop it and it will be updated when it will be updated. Weekly updates are entirely unnecessary. You don't contribute to these pages so why do you even bother with the fucking infobox number? And stop reverting me over something so trivial as a request to not have this number updated on a weekly basis when I DON'T WANT THE DAMN NUMBER AT ALL.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

There is absolutely no reason to have reported me to WP:AN3 other than to get your way in the dispute. You essentially asked Black Kite to revert my edits so you did not have to. The number is there now but now you're pulling in nitpicking specifics because you want to update a number of episodes on an article for a show which you do not watch after every week. While the formatting of these articles includes an episode list on the article itself as well as a separate episode list article, the lists on the main article serve a purpose, whereas a single parameter in the infobox does not. It's not a terrible thing that people have a link to the section in the article that has the number which is updated whenever the episode list on the article is updated.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:59, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

MOS:UNLINKDATES

Last I checked, this particular aspect of the manual of style was extremely disputed over its usage. Before you continue to use automated edits that are not labeled as automated to unlink the dates all over, I'd like you to show me that this particular aspect of the MOS is widely accepted.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

My edits were not automated. WP:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) is a Wikipedia guideline and I do not see any current discussion at WT:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) about it being "extremely disputed over its usage". Powergate92Talk 04:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

There were two separate arbitration cases about it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what has come about of it or why it's not mentioned anywhere on that page.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:10, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

If your not going to add links for discussions about it being "extremely disputed over its usage" then I am going to revert your edits. Powergate92Talk 05:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Content

You know, I haven't actually seen you actually add any substantive content to any Power Rangers, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, etc. articles. You've just been doing automated cleaning and an enforcing of various guidelines and manuals of style to the articles. I actually can't find any actual content you've added to any article in the past few months.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:53, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

On September 3, 2009 I added some info to the "International broadcasts" section in the Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight article,[7] on October 5, 2009 I added some references to the "Production" section in the Power Rangers: RPM article.[8] Also I edit other articles you know as I been editing the Stargate Universe‎ article and I made the article Spliced (TV series). Powergate92Talk 23:11, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

TVShowsOnDVD.com

Where did Mr. Lambert get his information that the show is to be remastered? It just seems to be the rumor going around the internet. Until something in a news release from Disney or Bandai says very clearly "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is going to be remastered", it's nothing we can say on Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:12, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't know where TVShowsOnDVD get their info but that is a news article from a reliable source and I found that news article when searching "Power Rangers: RPM" on Google News.[9] Powergate92Talk 05:23, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think we should make a statement about remastering until it gets closer to the actual broadcast time.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:35, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Before you revert me again, bring it up on the talk page and wait for someone else to say something.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:09, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I just looked at the source: it says "...which has been described as a return (rebroadcast) of the original 1993 series...remastered and with a new logo"; with the wording "been described" and the linke to the press release, tvshowsondvd.com did not assert it was a remastering, but inaccurately claimed that Bandai's press release asserted it was a remastering. The wording makes it clear that their only source is the press release. So, in this case, tvshowsondvd.com is not a reliable source. jgpTC 06:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

As you can see it says "..." before it says "remastered and with a new logo" that shows that they are not citing Bandai's press release as the source for "remastered and with a new logo" as if they were then it say "return (rebroadcast) of the original 1993 series, remastered and with a new logo" Also this discussion shows that TVShowsOnDVD is a reliable source. Powergate92Talk 14:43, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

If you look at that news article it look like they got their info from the DVD the news article is about as it says "a Sneak Peek of January's return to ABC Saturday Mornings of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers...which has been described as a return (rebroadcast) of the original 1993 series...remastered and with a new logo".

WP:EL

Guidelines are not policy. The nature of the subject matter, the extensive use of Japanese text throughout the article, links to other websites, and the fact that all links are .jp make it clear enough that the links are to Japanese language websites. We do not need to extensively use {{ja icon}} to tag them as such.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:20, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

The administrator User:J Milburn said to me is a discussion "If you feel that a guideline should not be followed, you will have to provide a good reason, not just say "it's a guideline, SO I CAN DO WHAT I LIKE!"" (J Milburn said that because I said "WP:Non-free content criteria is a guidelines and not a policy. A former Wikipedia administrator named Ryulong said in a discussion at Talk:Kamen Rider Decade#It's "Kamen" that "Guidelines are only suggestions for content. They are not always followed. That is why they are only guidelines and not policy."") So "Guidelines are not policy" is not a reason to not follow guidelines. WP:Linking#Non-English-language sites says "Webpages in English are highly preferred. Linking to non-English pages may still be useful for readers in the following cases:

• when the website is the subject of the article
• when linking to pages with maps, diagrams, photos, tables (explain the key terms with the link, so that people who do not know the language can interpret them)
• when the webpage contains key or authoritative information found on no English-language site and is used as a citation (or when translations on English-language sites are not authoritative).

In such cases, indicate what language the site is in." and WP:External links#Non-English-language content says "Links to English-language content are strongly preferred in the English-language Wikipedia. It may be appropriate to have a link to a non-English-language site, such as when an official site is unavailable in English; or when the link is to the subject's text in its original language; or when the site contains visual aids such as maps, diagrams, or tables—per the guideline on non-English-language sites.

When linking to a site in a non-English language under the exceptions above, label the link with a language icon, available for most languages, using two-letter language codes: for example, {{es icon}}, {{fr icon}}, etc." Again this is "English-language Wikipedia" so if the links for the official sites are in Japanese they need to have a "language icon" per the guidelines above. Powergate92Talk 01:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

It is wholy not necessary when the entire article is about something in the other language. NFCC is practically policy. Using the "language icon" templates is not necessary, especially when the regular editors of the page have decided not to use them at all. You do not count as a regular editor. All you do is come along every few weeks and say THIS NEEDS TO BE THIS BECAUSE OF THIS GUIDELINE/POLICY.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:44, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I see 2 guidelines that say "indicate what language the site is in" and "linking to a site in a non-English language under the exceptions above, label the link with a language icon" and I see no guideline or policy that say "If the article is about something in the other language it doe's not need language icon templates". What "regular editors of the page have decided not to use them at all" the only users I see discussing this are you and me. If you look at my contributions you will see that I been adding info to the List of characters in Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight and List of Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight episodes articles, so I do more then "come along every few weeks and say THIS NEEDS TO BE THIS BECAUSE OF THIS GUIDELINE/POLICY." Also I see you are reverting non-vandalism edits as vandalism again as you reverted my message on your talk page as vandalism when it was not, if you continue to revert non-vandalism edits as vandalism, I will report you and you may have your Twinkle rights taken away. Powergate92Talk 06:45, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, if you try to game me into violating WP:3RR as you have in the past (report me on it, and get me blocked for it), I will propose that you be banned from the subject area.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Remastered

Stop obsessing over this. Neither single sentence in either article that features the word "remastered" is a reliable statement concerning anything for MMPR's status for 2010's broadcast. The TVSOD article writer got the information second hand. And the Kentucky Kernel piece is an opinion column by a college freshman. Unless something comes out that says "MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS RETURNS REMASTERED FOR THE 2010 TELEVISION SEASON" then we can't say shit about it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:58, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Like I said at WT:WikiProject Tokusatsu‎#Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "remastered", "The users at WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard agree that the TVShowsOnDVD.com article is a reliable source and The Kentucky Kernel maybe a reliable source." you are the only user who disagrees. Powergate92Talk 06:49, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

There is no agreement anywhere. There is no consensus anywhere for the content you want.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:27, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

At the Reliable sources/Noticeboard discussion, 2 users say the TVShowsOnDVD.com article is a reliable source, no users say it's not a reliable source. 2 users say the The Kentucky Kernel article is a reliable source, 4 users say it's not a reliable source. Also User:Squidfryerchef says the The Kentucky Kernel article is "a good secondary-source validation of something that's been all over the blogs". Powergate92Talk 16:57, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

No. Two users say TVShowsOnDVD.com is a reliable source. Not the specific article on TVShowsOnDVD.com is a reliable source. The Kentucky Kernel opinion piece should not be used as a reliable source because it is an opinion piece written by a first year student. Neither website reports that MMPR is going to be remastered. They merely say it's been called remastered. Unless a major news source or another type of reliable source comes out and states "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers returns remastered to television in January 2010 on ABC" then we cannot report on it on Wikipedia. Until you bring something forward that is not "January's return to ABC Saturday Mornings of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers...which has been described as a return (rebroadcast) of the original 1993 series...remastered and with a new logo" or "In January 2010, the company will begin re-airing the first three seasons of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” in re-mastered form on ABC Kids." in which these are the only instances that the word "remastered" appears at all, don't bother continuing any discussion on the subject. Neither of these two specific instances of news articles on third party websites can be used as a reliable source for this particular instance of needing reliable sources.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:50, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

He did not say he got that info from Khalil, the only info he said he got from Khalil is "the heads-up and the scans you'll find at the bottom." and "it mainly covers the toy line for next year, but it also has the Power Rangers R.P.M‎. episode "In or Out."" he also said "We got the word courtesy of one of our readers, "Khalil"". Also I think should only be discussing this on 1 discussion page, WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Is The Kentucky Kernel a reliable source?, there is no need to discuss this here or at WikiProject Tokusatsu when there is a discussion for it at a noticeboard for finding out if a source is reliable. Powergate92Talk 03:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Derivative works

(Replying to your comment on Neutralhomer's page here to stop cluttering it up). First of all I'd be tempted to agree with you about File:WVSP.PNG. Derivative works are quite complex, but under the US Copyright Act 1976 the important wording is "A derivative work'is a work based upon one or more pre-existing works. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications, which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a derivative work" The only person authorized to prepare such derivative works and retain the copyright is the original owner of the copyright. ("(The owner) under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize ... derivative works based upon the copyrighted work"). In other words, taking a copyrighted work and basing your own work upon it doesn't change the fact it's still copyrighted by the original owner. The fact that what you create (if it was original) might qualify for textlogo is irrelevant. Of course, if you were to create your own textlogo version from scratch, that might qualify, but then it wouldn't be the original logo anyway, and if it was too close to the original it'd still infringe the copyright. Black Kite 22:14, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Like I said before "since the current background is just a photo of the sky it may still be ineligible for copyright protection and therefore public domain" since you can't copyright the sky. Powergate92Talk 22:24, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

You can copyright pretty much anything that is your creation and crosses the threshold of originality - if I take a photo of the sky, it is perfectly copyrightable (as long as it's not just a plain blue square, anyway!). There are a very few exceptions (for example pd-textlogo), but that isn't one of them. Black Kite 22:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Maybe I should start a discussion about this at Commons:Commons talk:Licensing. Powergate92Talk 23:21, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Mmm, possibly, though the copyright laws in the US are fairly clear-cut. Black Kite 00:08, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I was just looking at the logo for Star 1310 (WGH (AM)), the successor to Star 94.1 (WVSP-FM), and it doe's not have the sky background, so the sky background was most likely not part of the Star 94.1 logo but part of the website background as the fair use rationale says "copied due to flash, converted to PNG". An example of this is the KEJR-LP website as the KEJR logo on the website background but the logo and background are 2 separate images, so the background is not part of the logo. So what I'm saying is if you change the color of background to white or remove the background, it would not be a derivative work as the the background was not originally part of the logo.

Just because Japanese Wikipedia uses that color doe's not mean English Wikipedia should. You stop reverting, green is not the franchise color, if you're going to say it is then show me a reliable source that says green is the Kamen Rider franchise color. Powergate92Talk 04:47, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

IT IS A COLOR CHOICE. THERE IS NO NEED TO GET ANY RELIABLE SOURCE FOR THAT.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

It's not the franchise color therefore the template should not be that color. You do need something that is reliable to show that the franchise color is green. Powergate92Talk 05:48, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Does it matter? Most of the Kamen Riders (of the Showa era) were green: Ichigo, Nigo, V3, Amazon, Skyrider, Black RX, Shin, ZO, and J. It is the only color that makes sense. Just because Double is currently green does not mean the template was edited to resemble the colors of Double. There has never been an all encompassing color. And there do not need to be any reliable sources to state that anything is any color when it comes to templates.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:08, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Got it?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:17, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

As I said before "I see 2 guidelines that say "indicate what language the site is in" and "linking to a site in a non-English language under the exceptions above, label the link with a language icon" and I see no guideline or policy that say "If the article is about something in the other language it doe's not need language icon templates."" Also you have no consensus to remove Template:Ja icon from articles like you did in the Kamen Rider Kiva and Kamen Rider Den-O articles. And before you say you do not need follow guidelines, WP:Policies and guidelines#Role says "Guidelines are sets of best practices that are supported by consensus. Editors should attempt to follow guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." And before you say this is a occasional exception per WP:Ignore all rules, WP:What "Ignore all rules" means#What "Ignore all rules" does not mean says "A rule-ignorer must justify how their actions improve the encyclopedia if challenged" and "Most of the rules are derived from a lot of thoughtful experience and exist for pretty good reasons; they should therefore only be broken for good reasons." removing Template:Ja icon doe's not "improve the encyclopedia", and "Not necessary, Not required by policy" are not "good reasons" to remove it. Powergate92Talk 00:00, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

You have no consensus to add these templates. You provide nothing to these articles other than making them comply with every letter of the various guidelines and policies we have. I'm ignoring it because labeling these links is not important. No one cares but you that these are not labeled as such. The different language icons should only be used if the link is to a language that is not the same as that of the subject, such as if a website is for the Korean broadcast of a Japanese program or a German page related to an English program. Also, IMDB is not worth linking to when it comes to Japanese media. It's barely useful for English language media.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Again WP:Policies and guidelines#Role says "Guidelines are sets of best practices that are supported by consensus" so there is a "consensus" to add these templates as WP:External links#Non-English-language content says "external links to English-language content are strongly preferred in the English-language Wikipedia. It may be appropriate to have a link to a non-English-language site, such as when an official site is unavailable in English", "When linking to a site in a non-English language under the exceptions above, label the link with a language icon". Powergate92Talk 02:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Stop quoting these polices at me. There never was an official site in English to begin with. Why should all of these links be labeled as "(Japanese)"? It clutters up the page and does not serve any purpose and will make the page load slower.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 08:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I have a question for you?

As you may be aware I have nominated a few articles for deletion. But one concerns me particularly is Big Boss (C.O.P.S.) as evidence to demonstrate its notability is 10 Fatest Action Figures of All Time and completely un sourced. I am not convinced that they significant third person evidence am I wrong. If you observe the first link only mentions Big Boss in two sentences and the second sources merely states that from an book who did the voice of the character and the celebrity the actor. I feel it fails on WP:GNG and WP:YOUTUBE am I wrong. I also nominated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Once a Ranger (2nd nomination)

You are wrong. Per WP:BEFORE and WP:PRESERVE, we do not delete the edit history of sourced content concerning main characters verified in multiple reliable sources for which redirect locatins exist. At worst we merge and redirect it. Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 00:57, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Colons

powerrangers.com and bandai.com doesn't have colons, and those are more reliable sources than abckids.com Heavydata (talk) 22:27, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

abckids still lists RPM, not PR remastered, so it's not up to date either. Bandai are the people who make the official toys, I'm sure they'd know if it had a colon or not. And you're telling me that powerrangers.com isnt a good source because it hasn't been updated? You think they magically added colons to all the seasons? Heavydata (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Dude if it pisses you off that much then just email Bandai themselves on the matter and then post a screencap of their response email. Until then just drop it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.84.41 (talk) 01:54, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

A question on animated films...

For animated film projects, when is "filming" considered to have begun? Is it with the commencement of character design and actual animation creation involving particpation of director, artists, and animators? Or is it only considered to have "begun" once the animators finish their work and voice actors begin their own contributions to the final product? Thanks Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:39, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Romanization for words of English origin

On the MOS:JP talk page, a discussion has been started about including or not including romanizations for words of English origin, such as Fainaru Fantajī in Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー, Fainaru Fantajī) (for the sake of simplicity, I called this case "words of English origin", more information on semantics here).

Over the course of a month, it has become apparent that both the parties proposing to include or not include those romanizations cannot be convinced by the arguments or guidelines brought up by the other side. Therefore, a compromise is trying to be found that will satisfy both parties. One suggestion on a compromise has been given already, but it has not found unanimous agreement, so additional compromises are encouraged to be suggested.

One universally accepted point was to bring more users from the affected projects in to help achieve consensus, and you were one of those selected in the process.

What this invitation is:

• You should give feedback on the first suggested compromise and are highly encouraged to provide other solutions.

What this invitation is not:

• This is not a vote on including or excluding such romanizations.
• This is not a vote on compromises either.

It would be highly appreciated if you came over to the MOS:JP talk page and helped find a solution. Thank you in advance. Prime Blue (talk) 11:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Shinkenger

By visually comparing the costumes in Shinkenger and the costumes in PR Samurai and saying that they are identical, it is still considered original research to say that the former is the basis for the latter. You don't get to say "Shinkenger" on that page until the ending credits roll on PRS episode 1.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:29, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Comparing video footage is on the same level as comparing a photo. Until the name "Shinkenger" appears anywhere in regards to this new version of Power Rangers, we will not make that connection on Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:55, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Two points:

• The logo does not need to be the exact one pulled from the official website. It can be cropped down to where it is just the logo, rather than the whole empty transparent space the logo has with it.
• Someone counting down the days left in the countdown and picking the date that it falls down to is not enough of a soure for the information. Additionally, just using the countdown as a referece is not a suitable reference.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:07, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Regarding my changes to the Power Rangers page

My changes were accurate. Saban bought the rights to Power Rangers from Disney for approximately $100M. My source was not unreputable either, it was the Los Angeles Times, which is a respected publication.

It is also apparent there is a misunderstanding by you and whoever wrote the article: the $43M figure quoted in the Hollywood Reporter article that is WRONGLY being referenced is not the actual figure Saban spent on Power Rangers, it's the amount of money Disney profited from the deal, with costs being taken into account.

In simple terms:

1. Saban paid Disney $100M for Power Rangers

2. Disney made $43M profit from the deal (as Power Rangers was costing them $57M to produce and manage)

I am returning the page to before, to reflect the above. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dizagaox (talk • contribs) 22:03, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Arizona

It was recently suggested that WikiProject Arizona, to which you are a member, may be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there haven't been much active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the projects talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. Another user has added the project to the WPUS template and I added it to the list of supported projects in the WPUS main project page but before I take any further action I wanted to contact each of the active members for their input. --Kumioko (talk) 22:51, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

WARNING: Hijacked YouTube account

My second YouTube account, NewBlueMario1016 has been hijacked on July 16. The hacker has changed the password and email access to the account, and is uploading 3D animated pornography videos and art of The Simpsons characters which is depicted as real child porn, making this a real legal issue, since he is uploading them under my account name. It is illegal to upload that kind of stuff, in the United States and it's not right to take hold of someone else's accounts, just to host that stuff there and get that victim in trouble. Also, My IP Address is also exposed under my account, when the hacker got a hold of it and traced it down. I unfortunately still have no access to my YouTube account, whatsoever. I really want to get it back, since my videos are still on that account. Please keep your support and find a way to help out, while I try to investigate the process into seeing if I can get it back. Unfortunately, Google (the owner of YouTube) is asking me for a credit card and my phone number, but I do not wish to give those away, since it is very risky to do. All I want is a simple way to get my account back...Please help out in the meantime as well. Thank you. Also, Ignore anyone that tries to make imposter accounts out of those that are pretending to be me. If I somehow ever get my account back, I can revert everything back the way it was, and remove the nasty content.

Universal Television

Revue was originally founded in 1943 by MCA when they produced live series. They went into television production in 1950. MCA TV was founded in the same year. Universal didn't have a television division at all. When MCA acquired Decca Records and Universal-International in 1962, Revue Studios became Universal Television the following time. Someone messed that up on the NBCUni history on their site. On the timeline I found, it didn't say Universal Television was founded in 1950 or 1951. Universal's name was first carried on television in 1963. Universal never had a television arm in the 1950s.

You can see the timeline for yourself.

• http://mobile.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idUSTRE5B22SO20091203?src=RSS-BUS

And another piece of history I found:

• http://www.dennismcdougal.com/_br_the_last_mogul__lew_wasserman__mca_and_the_hidden_history_of_hollywood_24553.htm

I already saw the part on the Universal Television history part where it said 1951. That part is wrong. King Shadeed 15:46, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I'll take your word for it on that, considering I reminded myself about Sony Pictures Television's history that it was founded in 1948 as Screen Gems and going down the line as Columbia Pictures Television in 1974, merged with TriStar Television in 1994 and became Columbia TriStar Television, and taking its current name in 2002.

But besides that, when I shared the link about NBCUniversal Television Stations? NBC O&O's and Telemundo O&O's do make that. For some reason Comcast nor NBCUni didn't mention that. And NBCUni TV Stations was founded in 2004. I can't go against that. King Shadeed 20:19, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Proposal for the Creation of an Animation Barnstar

Hi, Powergate92. I noticed that you are a member of the Animation WikiProject and wanted to share a proposal with you. There have been several times that I have wanted to award an Animation Barnstar to a fellow editor, only to be disappointed that one still doesn't exist. The closest thing that we have right now is the Film Barnstar, but this is only applicable in certain situations, since animation can be found in both film and television. I would like to see an Animation Barnstar become a reality; especially since one already exists for the sub-topic of Anime and Manga. In order for this to become official though, a consensus will have to be reached.

If this is something that you would be interested in supporting, then please let me know on my talk page, as I am sending this message to all of the members of the Animation WikiProject and will not be adding each editor's talk page to my watchlist.

I am also looking for someone who would be able to provide a design for the barnstar. If you have any ideas for this, then please do not hesitate to share them with me. :) --Jpcase (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:My Family TV Logo.png

Thank you for uploading File:My Family TV Logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
