4kids attack image
[edit]It was not a attack image, i was just proving a point how strict 4kids is when dubing anime. and how anti-japanese they are.
- Alterations to visible text (such as the translation of Japanese kanji into English, and in some cases the complete removal of text that was originally in English).
- n order to allow easier access to American audiences, Anime is commonly modified to state or imply that it takes place within the United States or a fictionalized country with a culture that resembles America's own. This is commonly achieved by substituting Japanese elements in a series for elements drawn from American popular culture, modifying food or other products to resemble their American equivalents, and by replacing Japanese writing to English.
Examples include Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie in which the Japanese newspaper at the end of the feature is changed to the "New York Times" newspaper, the early episodes of Dragon Ball in which Japanese currency is changed to Dollars. Although once common, this process has been on the decline as the American audiences have come to identify exotic Japanese cultural epitaphs one the features that attract them to Anime (In recent years, such epitaphs have begun to be inserted into American series in order to make them appear less American). Consequently, fewer companies are carrying this process out. Despite this trend some companies, 4Kids Entertainment in particular, continues to heavily censor most of its productions in order to remove non-American elements.

Oktoberfest
[edit]I moved the talk page to Talk:Oktoberfest, but was there an article that corresponded to Oktoberfest? I can't seem to find it. Nishkid64 03:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah I just found that it was at German festival. I'm moving the page, and I already blocked the user indefinitely. Thanks. Nishkid64 03:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
VandalSniper
[edit]Thanks for applying to use VandalSniper. Unfortunately, I have the burden of telling you "sorry, not quite yet". You haven't been added to the approved users list yet because while you're making great counter-vandalism contributions and seem to know what you're doing, you're just a bit too new and low on mainspace edits. Although the requirements to use VS are not set in stone, VandalSniper is a fast, fully-featured reversion tool with the potential for a sizable amount of edits in a short period of time, so this decision must sometimes be meticulous; I hope you understand. Your interest in VS is greatly appreciated, and you are invited to apply after you've made a few more edits. The reason you have not been approved yet says nothing about your value as a contributor – only that we'd like to see a little more of your work on Wikipedia before giving access to the tool.
Again, thanks so much for your interest. If you have any questions or concerns about this decision, feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to discuss it with you. Again, thank you for helping "keep Wikipedia clean". Good luck, and happy editing! -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 02:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
