[edit]Do not add random information that you pulled from YouTube unless we know the exact name of the publication where the information comes from and we have a better way to access the information. Even if it is right we cannot add it because we do not know where it comes from.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:17, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Please stop changing "The Climax is Eternal" to "Climax Forever".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- But that's a more accurate translation to "yo Eien ni" and I'll stick by it unless Toei says otherwise.Fractyl (talk) 02:45, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- How is it a more accurate translation? Because Google is telling you that? Google's translator is not perfect.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- actually, it was from wiki. That and from looking around the web.Fractyl (talk) 04:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Reference removing
[edit]If you ever see edits like this, report the IP to WP:AIV.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:20, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, I don't not how to do that. But I'll tell you if I encounter anyone like that again.Fractyl (talk) 21:31, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Just follow the instructions on WP:AIV. It's not that hard.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Episode numbers
[edit]Just leave them out. It is not important and everything about their introduction and death is covered in the episode list.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- If we leave them out, we have to do the same to everyone else. That includes the monsters. The only exception to the rule is a villian that appeared in ALL episodes.Fractyl (talk) 00:47, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- The monsters only appear in one episode at best. Everyone else is a main character.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:50, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- But not all are main characters, besides it's no different to some Kamen Rider villians like Doctor Shinigami. Furthermore, they're villians and thus are treated differently. Fractyl (talk) 00:53, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- Any series where we have an episode list, remove those numbers.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:10, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Your revert here shows you are just reverting whatever you come across that I did without paying attention to the changes I made.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:21, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, that would be because the article is about many villian organizations rather than just one.Fractyl (talk) 01:27, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Templates
[edit]The "Geki" and "Rin" Kanji serve no use on the Gekiranger template.
Also, I have no idea what you intended to do with the colors that I purposefully changed on the Go-onger template. Red and blue have nothing to do with what changes were made.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:37, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- The "Geki" & "Rin" Kanji were going with the series theme. Also, the changes I made on the Go-onger template relfected the series title.Fractyl Fractyl (talk) 03:45, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- The "Juuken" kanji are much better. And the Go-onger template colors were not changed to match the series title but to resemble a road.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:51, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
DO NOT stick your intended versions of the articles onto these redirects I made through hidden comments. We do not know anything about them and will not have enough coverage on the characters until at least two episodes in. We should not have articles on the characters until at least March.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- As we have a week until the show airs, we should start setting up these things. Also, in the Goseiger case, I left out the Header Brother sets at the moment until we recieved new info.Fractyl (talk)
- No we should not. We can wait through a couple of episodes until we have enough information to write biographies and mecha information. Keep it in a subpage until then.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
Wait for next week when we actually have information on the various characters.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:09, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
"Eien"
[edit]Please stop changing the translations of titles with "Eien" in the name. It means "eternal". Not just "forever".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- True, but I'm doing it on context.Fractyl (talk) 05:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- What context? "Samurai Sentai Forever" vs. "The Samurai Sentai is Eternal"? "Climax Forever" vs. "The Climax is Eternal"? There is no context there. Yours just have less words.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:48, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- True. But most "eien" translations use "forever" rather than "eternal" unless where it's truly needed.Fractyl (talk) 05:52, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- What do you mean "truly needed"?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- Well, if you wiki a search for "eien" and "forever", you'll notice that the translation is more used than "eternal".Fractyl (talk) 12:20, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- The literal translation is "eternal" which has much more poetic meaning than "forever".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:39, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

"Gedou Seal"
[edit]It is never referred to as such. Stop using this terminology. It is just the "Sealing Character".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:29, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- It was said only once when Kaoru executes Modikara.Fractyl (talk) 02:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- They only refer to it as the "Sealing Character".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, but as Kaoru called it "Gedo Seal", it may be the actual name.Fractyl (talk) 02:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- But the terminology used throughout and on the official website and Japanese Wikipedia is just "Sealing Character". No "Gedou Seal". Ever.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:38, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- My mistake. The official website uses "Gedou Seal" once and only once.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:40, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- Expected that. But I still Gedou Seal's the actual name, though it's commonly known as the "Sealing Character."Fractyl (talk) 02:43, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- Then we use "Sealing Character" more prominently than "Gedou Seal".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:04, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Grammar & spelling
[edit]I am tired of coming in and fixing up your terrible grammar every single time. You leave random words out, use words like "revenge" or "dismay" or others incorrectly, overuse particular words, spell things incorrectly when they are properly spelled on the page already, and everything else you do that I have to end up fixing. I don't know what to do with you anymore. If you do not use Microsoft Word or whatever word processor you may have on your computer to run a spellcheck and grammar check before you add new episode summaries or other content to Wikipedia, do not press "Save page".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
You really need to look things over before you press save. I didn't catch the "Nozumu" and the "Yuseikuzu" mistakes that the anonymous IP did. Please make sure you have the names right and the English words all properly spelled before you do anything.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:58, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
I don't even know how you are doing this, but you've replaced every instance of "Accel" with "Axel". The red Rider in Double is "Accel". Faiz's mid-season form is "Axel".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Also, "Nozomu". Not "Nozumu".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:18, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
"Bibis"
[edit]Please stop using "Bibis" to refer to the Warstar putties. Use "Bibi soldiers" instead, please.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
God of War III Plot Summary
[edit]I don't have time to get into everything that's wrong with your edits on the God of War III Plot Summary so I'll just keep this brief. You're grammar mistakes are numerous, you're facts are skewed (Heph. is not a god, we don't know if everyone on Earth was killed by the floods, etc.), and you're sentence structure is poor. I don't want to sound harsh, but judging from your past edits on the page and the history on your talk page, I think you might want to proofread your edits before saving. Try testing them in the sandbox first, or you can ask someone to help you. I'd be willing to help if you needed it. Thanks! (Deftonesderrick 23:43, 23 March 2010 (UTC))
Episode Yellow
[edit]"Treasure Di End Pirates" is not English. Think of the "DE" as French or Spanish. So "Otakara de End Pirates" is "Treasure of End Pirates", which we are turning into "The End Pirates' Treasure" or "Di End Pirates' Treasure".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, I was working on French/Spanish. Besides, even in English, we use "Di/De" in classy titles that sound European.Fractyl (talk) 03:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well, it does not really work when you replace it with "Di".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:20, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- I like your idea now, and I've incorporated it better, with a lower case "di" instead.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Animated
[edit]The Japanese titles and episode numbers are not relevant to the subject of the list of Transformers Animated episodes because it is an American television series. It'd be relevant if the series was Japanese first and then translated into English, but in this case it isn't.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- But the series is "redone" in Japan, besides only the japanese name and number would count(no need for a date). Furthermore, the Armada/Energon/Cybertron episodes need their japanese names and titles as well.Fractyl (talk) 10:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's because Armada, Energon, and Cybertron began in Japan. Animated began in the US. There is nothing being "redone". It is a dub and we do not need the Japanese dub titles at all on the English Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 10:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- Actually there is. For one thing, the japanese dub is made to be closer to the live-action movie series. Also, as already stated, the episodes are being switched around ("Sound and Fury" being made the 4th episode in Japan).Fractyl (talk) 10:59, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- These things can be covered in prose and do not require inserting Japanese text throughout the page and reorganizing everything.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 12:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

For the last time, stop adding the Japanese broadcast information to List of Transformers Animated episodes. There is no article on the English Wikipedia that gives such undue weight to the foreign language broadcast of an television series after its broadcast in the original English speaking country has been completed. There is no reason for you to rewrite all of these episode summaries, to add the Japanese episode number, or the Japanese episode title. This is not relevant to the knowledge of the Transformers Animated episodes. Do you understand?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's why I moved the bulk into the discussion page. But you could had just removed the numbers from the main episode page.Fractyl (talk) 00:17, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- None of it is important. You do not need to differentiate between anything for TFA because it is an American TV series. You do not need to say that this title is the English title or this airdate is the American one because as the English Wikipedia we do not give undue weight to foreign productions of originally British, American, or Canadian works.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:52, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- I just believed it's needed only in certain cases. Also, I've been working on making the episode list less chaotic. Also, for the ?-part episodes, following the example by the first 3 eps.Fractyl (talk) 00:57, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- Ther are no certain cases. The show aired in the US first and should not have any focus on the Japanese release in the episode list. All that needs to be said is that some episodes air in a different order in Japan (as stated on the main TFA article). You do not need to differentiate between "English" and "Japanese" anything on List of Transformers Animated episodes. Just reorganize it, run a spell checker before you save, and do not change anything to give weight to the Japanese release.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:06, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Changeman
[edit]Do not use any information that cannot be found on the Japanese Wikipedia page. We are not using "Never Stop Changeman" for any information. Unless you can find information elsewhere, use that.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:09, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I got other refs. Youtube's finale episodes of Changeman(though they are dubbed in spanish).Fractyl (talk) 03:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- It is pointless to write about the end of the series when we have no coverage on the series at all. Just expand the Changemen's biographies and leave the Gozma ones alone.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- But we have info from the actual episodes, hence improvements on the Mez and Zune profiles. Shouldn't the actual episodes, subbed or not, help in anyway.Fractyl (talk) 03:36, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- But it's not important to the whole of the article. It does not matter if you watched it and saw that Ahames became a monster and the other one became a monster. What's important is coverage of the whole series. The Japanese Wikipedia does not list Mez and Zune in those sections and neither should we.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:44, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- But Mez and Zone are listed in jp Wiki[episode list], but are transfered to the Ahames and Shiima profiles due to their relations. Besides, last time I checked, you said we can't follow jp. Wiki extactly.Fractyl (talk) 03:48, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Just expand the Changeman biographies. Everything we have on Gozma is sufficient.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:50, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do. But those two villian profiles still need those monster alteregos.Fractyl (talk) 04:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- No they don't.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- But they do. That is info that needs to be added, especially if an episode shows that to occur. Episodes are the primary source of info that can be relied on for that. But I have extended the Changeman profiles, and will continue doing so.Fractyl (talk) 10:52, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- It is not important to cover the end of the series when we do not cover the show at all. All the article consists of are character biographies. You do not have to put information on what happens to every single villain at the end of the program when we do not cover the program at all. Focus on general biographies and do not say who dies when or who is actually what unless you have a suitable source that says so.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:16, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I'm covering the show. I find subbed versions of the first eight episodes, hence the refined(and short) monster profiles.Fractyl (talk) 03:25, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

- I did. Spell checked a bit before you helped out. Thanks and sorry.Fractyl (talk) 23:25, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- But "attone", "Meahwile", and "occured" still fall through. Use Firefox's spellchecker before you save. Every single time.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:26, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'll keep that in mind.Fractyl (talk) 23:27, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Template colors
[edit]{{Kamen Rider Den-O}} and {{Kamen Rider Kiva}} are the only templates to have more than one color because they are similarly colored to both each other and other Riders. {{Kamen Rider Double}} does not have to have multiple colors because it has been the only main Kamen Rider to be green. Also, the colors you changed Den-O's to were not good for all readers.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, I did Double in relation to his Half Change forms: "Luna-(Joker) and {Cyclone}-Trigger" as Double has "multiple colors" but Green/Black remain the header. As for Den-O, I was using the "media" for New Den-O's color and moved the dark red to the "Music".Fractyl (talk) 23:16, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- It does not matter. It does not need to be changed because Double is primarily green and black and no one else has been. Just because he is more than one color does not mean the template should be. The reason only Den-O and Kiva's templates are more than one color is because those two would look too much alike if they were only one color set each. And putting red on green is terrible. It's better to have one green and one red, because New Den-O does not need to be featured.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
"and an evil Kamen Rider"
[edit]First, you don't know if he's going to be evil or not.
Second, you were saying that statement was supported by the "story" website, which it isn't.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:20, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, the episode trailer points the Kamen Rider to be a villian among the new Dopants, especially as the kanji was translated. Fractyl (talk) 01:19, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- There is nothing there that says anything about an evil Kamen Rider, in the trailer or in the story description.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- The trailer's sub has "Led by the most wicked Rider".Fractyl (talk) 01:34, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- Fansubs are not reliable sources.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:53, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

The information on their Dopant powers is the last thing that needs to be covered in Kirihiko's and Isaka's biographies. Do not stick it in the middle because it serves no purpose to the rest of the description.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:21, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- Actually it does as it flows better.Fractyl (talk) 03:24, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

TFA katakana
[edit]The IP is right. It's not needed in any way. Just because a show from the United States begins airing in Japan and you know about it does not mean that you should include the Japanese names for the characters on the article, particularly if just Bulkhead has been renamed to Ironhide.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:26, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
- But Japan's Wikipedia has already followed that step. Besides, other than setting up a warning not to nihon-ized Ironhide until his japanese debut, I
do warn the person to knock it off. Besides, we may still have different names in the japanese version.Fractyl (talk) 22:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
- What do you mean "Japan's Wikipedia has already followed that step"? Do you think they're going to only use the English alphabet to write about Transformers? No, they're going to use the Japanese names because they are the Japanese Wikipedia. Because this is the English Wikipedia and because the show originated in an Anglophone nation, it does not need to include the Japanese names of American television characters.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Let me clarify: nothing about the Japanese broadcast other than it exists is important to cover on the Transformers Animated articles. Do not add the Japanese voice actors. Do not add the Japanese names. Do not add the Japanese episode titles. Do not add the Japanese air dates. Got it?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Several issues as usual
[edit]First of all, we have no idea what the title of the next series is going to be. It's shown in the magazines which are not out for another week as not containing the 000 as part of the Japanese title but we won't know anything official until actual news comes out about it.
Also, I told you in the past that the separate sections for the movie Dopants were better than a combined section on all of them. This way, we have them separate and we don't have to use tiny headers for them.
The only Dopants from the series that have been shown to actually show up in the movie are IceAge, Nasca, Violence, and Weather. None of the other ones have been in any promotional materials, so it is original research to say that any Dopant from the TV show who has a T2 Gaia Memory will show up in the movie.
And finally, it is not the T2 Bean Memory. It is the T2 Bird Memory. It is very clearly the Bird Memory in all of the photos and magazines that have been released already.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- First off, the Dummy Dopant is the only new Dopant in the Decade/Double movie. If there more new Dopants in that movie like for Double Forever, it would be easy to work like that.Fractyl (talk) 06:19, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well, it's Dummy and Death, technically.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:24, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- But the Death Dopant never really appeared, that was just a guise.Fractyl (talk) 06:41, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:47, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

The Gosei Wonder stuff and the KR000 stuff are in magazines which are not out yet and won't be out till July 1. The only reason stuff about 000 is hidden on Kamen Rider Series is because of the copyright listing.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:08, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- True, but Gosei Wonder's different as we saw toy images of it in the past.Fractyl (talk) 16:09, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- No we didn't. Just keep this in mind: if it's not a full page scan, then it's not verifiable and it should not be written about.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:10, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- We did. It was part of a toy catalog that included Gosei Ground and Ground Gosei Great.Fractyl (talk) 16:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- It does not matter. Just keep it in a subpage and it will be added once the magazines come out and information on the movies come out.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:13, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

OOO
[edit]I was wondering if I can have your permission to make a User:Fractyl/Kamen Rider Ōzu (character) subpage using information from the Kamen Rider OOO subpage please. Xtreme2010 ( ~AlienX2009~ ) 17:06, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- You kinda did it anyway, but I'm cool with it.Fractyl (talk) 20:22, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, couldn't help my self. Xtreme2010 ( ~AlienX2009~ ) 00:51, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Ooz
[edit]The massive page you made in the history of Kamen Rider Ooz is not going to be how the page looks once the show comes out. So keep all of the information you want in a subpage in your userspace and we will refer to it BUT NOT USE IT WORD FOR WORD when the show comes out, just like what we did with Double and Goseiger.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Understood to a degree. Besides, I'm getting the page ready for Saturday, when we get more info on Ooz's ability. Or when we get a sub of the Double Net Movie entry about Ooz. Either way, once Saturday passes, the profile for Ooz would be ready. Same for the template by the time the series airs.Fractyl (talk) 20:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- No. We are not preparing this stuff a month in advance. Everything will be written up the weekend of September 5 when the show airs. We're not going to learn anything because we won't get the movie until late this year or early next year. There will not be a page on this character until we have confirmed that this is the name that Toei and Bandai are using, and not just a name that Hyper Hobby has used. AND EVEN THEN, you know we do not make pages this far in advance for characters. Pages this far in advance for the television show is another story.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:29, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- You should not have made the template OR made it a redirect to the series page OR kept your conceptual template formatting as hidden comments. Please leave this stuff to me for when the show is on TV.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:32, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was trying to help.Fractyl (talk) 20:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- It is better to at least build this stuff in your user subspace first like I am currently doing with a template for OOO, rather than putting it directly in the template space where it could be deleted before the show starts.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:55, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was trying to help.Fractyl (talk) 20:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Romanization for words of English origin
[edit]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)
The article Kamen Rider Den-O + Shin-O has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable episode that has not received significant coverage by reliable third-party sources to justify a stand-alone article. Article is nothing more than a plot summary.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Farix (t | c) 00:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of Kamen Rider Den-O + Shin-O
[edit]I have nominated Kamen Rider Den-O + Shin-O, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kamen Rider Den-O + Shin-O. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. —Farix (t | c) 01:07, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Templates
[edit]I have added lines for "Movie Riders" on Template:Kamen Rider Ryuki and Template:Kamen Rider Kabuto because the Rider lists were on two lines without any sort of separation explaining why they are on two lines. This "Movie Riders" modifier does not need to be put on any other templates. I have tried to incorporate it, but the formatting of the rest of the template does not look particularly good (because of the thing on the right side). Please do not put other movie Riders onto their own lines.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:56, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Nomination of Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final for deletion
[edit]A discussion has begun about whether the article Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Cirt (talk) 20:52, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
MFDs
[edit]User:Fractyl/Kamen Rider OOO, User:Fractyl/Kamen Rider Ooz, User:Fractyl/Sentai Insert Songs, User:Fractyl/Transformers Animated, and User:Fractyl/Tensō Sentai Goseiger are all up for AFD.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Info area
[edit]Fractyl, I also have an info page here. Feel free to use it if you wish. ~Xtreme2010~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 22:33, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Black/Black RX template
[edit]This is entirely unnecessary. Its usage is subsumed by Template:Shōwa Kamen Riders which has all of the links for Kamen Rider Black and Black RX on it. Also you made two identical templates for reasons I'm not quite sure.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:25, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
- I think that was some goof. I only did "Black/Black RX". Fractyl (talk) 05:32, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Future OOO and Gokaiger stuff
[edit]I looked at your userpage and I'm stunned at so much new things for OOO and Gokaiger have been made known. Can I just ask where you found out about them, even if most of them could be rumours? --BrydoF1989 (talk) 20:44, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- To answer your question, Fractyl found these on forums or blogs containing future information for OOO and Gokai. I simply help add in more information. However, these are stll rumors and still not yet confirmed. I know this is a question for Fractyl, but I just wanted to inform you is all. I'll leave the rest to Fractyl. ~Xtreme2010~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 23:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I knew that you help Fractyl in that sort of thing when I saw your userpage yesterday. It's just so strange that so much new information about these two shows have popped up, even though Gokaiger hasn't even started yet. Now I'll await Fractyl himself for a response to my question. BrydoF1989 (talk) 10:51, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- Like AlienX2009 said, my userpage is an info gathering for upcoming stuff to occur in those two shows, and then some. But this info usually stays here until it can be added to the page.Fractyl (talk) 21:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
It's getting way out of hand, you two.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:36, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well, this info can not be easily added to the main pages. Besides, there's no harm in using my user page for this.Fractyl (talk) 21:39, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, it isn't hurting anyone nor is it a violation. Besides this is useful for future uses (if it is confirmed) in the articles. Every time I wrote these things, you always delete them when we're allowed to do it on a talk page because it is a talk page. ~Xtreme2010~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 22:47, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Spelling and grammar
[edit]I don't get it. How come you cannot write properly? There are so many spelling errors and so many glaring grammatical errors. You also seem to leave out random sentences that would otherwise make most of what you write make sense. What does "Maki advises Date to be get a check to see the effects of the Birth System on a human, as well regard to the man's condition" mean? I am tired of telling you over and over to run a grammar check in whatever word processor you have on your computer.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:28, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Seriously. A lot of this could have been fixed with a paste in Microsoft Word first. Also, stop using Goukaiger.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:08, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Do not use "Goukai" at all, do not use CamelCase (MagiGokaioh, DekaGokaioh), and please remember to spell characters' names correctly. It's "Insarn" not "Izarn".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
OOO Tamashii Combo
[edit]It will be "Kamen Rider OOO Tamashii Combo". It's a proper noun. "OOO" is just a series of letters with no context to them. Do not refer to the characters simply as "OOO", "Birth", or whoever else they make.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:13, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- So what if OOO is series of letters, it does have context and is too unique a name to use your redundant notions. Plus the magazine says OOO Tamashii Combo so you have to comply.Fractyl (talk) 08:10, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- Just because they have not put in the words "Kamen Rider" does not mean that it is not part of that character's name.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:25, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's just like any other Combos, you don't necessarily need Kamen Rider OOO. As you can see it says "(Kamen Rider) OOO's new power! Tamashii Combo?". ~Marvelous2011~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 14:42, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- That's not the point Ryulong, you feel it's awkward to have OOO, a unique name, without "Kamen Rider". Even though "Kamen Rider" is more of a title like "[word] Sentai".Fractyl (talk) 19:07, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's the name. Do not use just "OOO", "Birth", "Eternal", "Double", or "Accel" anymore. Prefix all of them with "Kamen Rider".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:48, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- I can not comply because that is awkward.Fractyl (talk) 21:25, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Using just "OOO" is highly awkward. Just please add those two small words every time you refer to the character. "OOO" is not a name. It is a series of letters that do not make sense without of context.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:55, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- I will use "Kamen Rider OOO" once like before, "Kamen Rider OOO ????? Combo" for form debuts. Adding two "small words" more that once is just very awkward sentencing. Also, you cannot say OOO is not a name if he is referred by as "OOO" within the series in other media like the title of the upcoming Kamen Rider movie or a magazine article.Fractyl (talk) 23:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Do not use just "OOO" to refer to the character. I don't care what they use in conversation in the series or in kiddy magazines. When you are writing it in a formal setting, use the character's full name.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:41, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is anything but formal, many characters real or fictional don't get referred by their full names all the time. Besides, who else on wikipedia thinks "OOO" is awkward?Fractyl (talk) 23:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and is a formal work. "Kamen Rider OOO" is like "Green Lantern" or "Aquaman" or anything else. Just using "OOO" is awkward in prose. Don't do it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:57, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

- Those US heroes do not count, especially "Aquaman" due to being technically one word. Take Gundams, there are cases where Gundam models like "Exia" are acceptable in place of "Gundam Exia". Same goes for Zero-1 and Deathscythe. Now there is context in "OOO," as shown in the main Kamen Rider OOO page's Production entry. Plus, the fact I place "KAMEN RIDER OOO" ONCE/TWICE PER EPISODE should not make it awkward anyway.Fractyl (talk) 03:32, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- A Gundam model is not the same as a Kamen Rider. Just use "Kamen Rider" in all instances referring to OOO.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Episode summaries
[edit]Do not leave random sentences unfinished and do not use the phrase "bent on" anymore. It's not professional and you barely use it in the right circumstances.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:19, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Digimon and reception
[edit]Hey, I've noticed you on the Digimon AFDs. As a word to the wise, it's no longer sufficient for a character or place to be important in the context of the work, it has to show third-party reliable sources, reception, talking about it in the real world for it to have its own article. The writing about fiction guidelines have more on this. Libraries of reliable sources are kept here, and here, and if you find a source you think could be helpful but aren't sure if it is reliable, the reliable sources noticeboard can help. I've had a bit of a look and haven't been able to find much. The articles don't have to be perfect, but they do need to show that they meet the WP:GNGs in order to be kept as their own articles. I'm sorry this is cold comfort, but I hope it helps you find the lay of the land. --Malkinann (talk) 23:21, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Re: Digimon Xros
[edit]I am sorry here as well as I did not know the complete story there. Well if the character pages you want to keep are as you say notable then reference them, there is no WP:DEADLINE for splitting the articles out from List of Digimon Xros Wars characters when references come along and are added. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:57, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- I would goto Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, there you can ask if what you have found are WP:RS or not. Usually a reliable source is by a news source, by a known website editor or something that is not user submitted. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Re: Lucemon
[edit]The article has it's own section on the character page and is currently not notable enough to have it's own article. None of the information in the article was sourced WP:V, if you want to provide sources okay place them on the character list and if it has enough with 3rd party sources that would make for a great article. It was either redirect or send it for deletion and I figured a redirect was a better choice. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:23, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Episode summaries
[edit]Stop writing episode summaries. I don't know why you write the way you do, but the grammar is so terribly awkward. It's good that there are less spelling errors, but it always looks like there are words that are missing to have the sentences make sense. Leave episode summaries to Areaseven. Work on other aspects of the project.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- Look, I have been using spell checks and grammar checks to get the summaries right. I've been even using some from write your story pages. And to ask, how is it OOO by itself if I write it as "OOO ???? Combo" or "OOO <random combo>"?Fractyl (talk) 03:30, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
I've made up a redirect, but do not create an article until we have more than just the English name and a few trademark entries. This also means do not fill the page with hidden content.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:50, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Go-on Wings Hybrid Form
[edit]Do not make up proper nouns for things that do not have names.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:14, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't.Fractyl (talk) 17:16, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes you did.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:42, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- Only because that was on the Gokaigers' page at the time. I was under the impression that it was the official name. Fractyl (talk) 02:33, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes you did.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:42, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Goseiangel
[edit]We have never formatted the name this way. Why the hell are you doing "Goseiangel" over "Gosei Angel" all of a sudden?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:05, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- Because of a scene in Goseiger Returns that spells "Goseiangel" instead of "Gosei Angel."Fractyl (talk) 23:32, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- Does it say "Goseiangel" or "GOSEIANGEL"? Also, if either is the case, you could have at least changed it on every page and said "they use 'Goseiangel' in last epic" or something.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:34, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Fourze
[edit]We do not need to cover the schematics, or whatever of Fourze on the article now. We do not need to mention that he transforms using the Astro Switches, that there are different modules, or that his different forms are "States". Please save this information for when he gets his own individual page in September.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:14, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Gokaiger episodes
[edit]I don't care what your excuse is, but until you improve your poor grammar, don't bother making any revisions to the episode plot summaries. Furthermore, we do not need to give out the full details of the episode. Do you understand? - Areaseven (talk) 05:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- I'll improve my grammar, but don't decide to remove vital info because you see the grammar to be wrong.Fractyl (talk) 05:36, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- No, it's not just your grammar, but also you adding unnecessary information on the summaries. We don't need a blow-by-blow account of what happened in this week's episode. - Areaseven (talk) 05:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
If you think you're so great with plot summaries, why don't you write your own from scratch instead of butchering someone else's summary? - Areaseven (talk) 02:39, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
- I never thought myself as "great with plot summaries". Also, I have been writing some from scratch. You're a good writer, but you have a habit of acting up whenever I do something wrong in your eyes. All the "unnecessary info" and "blow-by-blow account" was something I did long ago, but Ryulong's guidance helped me to achieve a proper "middle way" that works.Fractyl (talk) 06:08, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Full name
[edit]- Listen, you've used "Kamen Rider [insert name here]" because you think someone would not tell the difference. But Fourze goes back to the using unique Kamen Rider names. But if you insist on this, then how about we use "Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger" all the time then? But that would be messed up in general and confusing. Besides, the "Kamen Rider [insert name here]" element should work in the way that we used with Double and Accel.Fractyl (talk) 20:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- "Gokaiger" is at least used within Gokaiger. Just because "Fourze" is a unique word does not mean we are going to change everything back to the bad syntax we had before.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:30, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- And "Fourze" is at least used within Fourze. Even a kid can understand that, especially as "Gokaiger" is a unique word. Also, the episode title was fine as it was.Fractyl (talk) 20:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Well, we are not going to refer to the character solely as "Fourze" on Wikipedia, just like "OOO" is not going to be used to refer to the character. We can refer to the Kamen Rider shows in short hand, but not the characters when we are writing formal prose. The four-word title in English may not work in the future, particularly because "seishun" is not a young person, but the concept of youth.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:44, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I'm implying to work it both ways like it was with Double: "Kamen Rider Fourze" and then "Fourze" per episode, an extra "Kamen Rider Fourze ???? States" for introductions. That should still follow the formal prose you're going for. But as you said, it won't be easy with four-word english titles but still is possible.Fractyl (talk) 00:26, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
- No. Just use "Kamen Rider Fourze" every single time you are going to refer to the character.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:01, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Episode summaries
[edit]Your last summary for Gokaiger was fraught with missing words, nonsensical sentences, and massive spelling errors. You keep using "Izarn" for reasons I cannot determine, and you keep referring to Waruzu Giru as just "Waruzu". Stop writing content.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:26, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Do not rewrite my summaries either. You removed various important aspects of the plot from my Fourze ep 3 summary, but you decided to keep referencing them. Why would you get rid of the mention of the pool deck scene, but then refer to it happening in the end of the episode? You do not know how to write these things. Stop entirely.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I was adding info you were unable to get.Fractyl (talk) 21:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
- I do not care. You cannot write in proper English. Stop writing summaries.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:45, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
WP:ANI
[edit]I have written a thread concerning you on WP:ANI.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:04, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but I have been trying to improve myself even with a Microsoft Office spell/gramar check.Fractyl (talk)
- Enough is enough.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Fine. That how about I write the summary, post it on your talk page so you can review it. If not, tell me how to improve on my prose.Fractyl (talk) 19:30, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Enough is enough.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Episode summary drafting
[edit]If you are to write episode summaries, they are not to be re-writes of summaries myself or any other editor has written. And you cannot write these summaries on your IP. I want them to be written solely while you are logged in. You will write them on this page, rather than on your already cluttered user page and to prevent the talk pages of the episode lists from being as long as the articles themselves.
I want to implore on you that your content may or may not be used on the live articles. If myself or one of the other editors write a summary, you are not to overwrite our summary with your own or completely rewrite what we have done. You are welcome, however, to add a few sentences should we miss something relevant to the plot.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:32, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- That's a bit too much, it's barely a mutual resolution. What if you guys do a summary with incorrect information? Besides, like you said before, you don't have access to youtube and I do. Also, due to the nature of subtitled versions(final versions), the official summary can be set up as soon as I get my eyes on a subtitled version of the episode.Fractyl (talk) 21:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- If the information is incorrect, you can post about it on the talk page.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:08, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
This still means you cannot rewrite content I have written, because you have removed important details that are part of the program and have introduced your usual terrible grammar. I am not going to clean up things that you have cleaned up. I wrote the summary, you cannot change it drastically.—Ryulong (竜龙) 18:34, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- But your prose is TOO detailed, it's looks less professional despite grammar. Plus, HOW is important we know Yuki's interaction with Nozama at the cafeteria? That kind of stuff is more suited to a character profile.Fractyl (talk) 18:51, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- I do not care. You remove too much information which makes several sentences make no sense. "Later, after brushing off his advances..." WHO'S ADVANCES? And Tomoko is relevant because she is a main character. So are Sonoda and Ohsugi. Anything that regards one of the main members of the cast should be mentioned. And, we know that Nitta is the Zodiarts in the beginning of the episode. Why are you removing it?—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:13, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- First off, Tomoko, Sonoda, and Ohsugi's roles in the episode 5 are not relevant to its storyline. The Scorpion Zodiarts's action is more like a foot note. Also, you pretty much INGORED why the Unicorn Zodiarts is after JK. If you even really read by summary you would get that.Fractyl (talk) 19:19, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- We did not get the reason as to why he is after JK. I no longer care what you think because you cannot write clearly enough to convey any sort of information in episode summaries.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:21, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- We did get that reason, simply revenge. He even tells JK that he's going pay for what he did to him before assuming his Zodiarts form. How JK wronged him is for the next episode to reveal. My prose is not good, but at least I cover what is needed in the episode summary.Fractyl (talk) 19:27, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- Whatever. I am going to get someone else to fix up my prose. You cannot be trusted to do it.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:43, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- Trust is not an issue here. I might not be able to fix your prose, but at least I actually try. Because of you, I am learning to improve myself. I still respect you as friend even if you don't respect me.Fractyl (talk) 20:09, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Do not just use "Fourze" to refer to the Kamen Rider.—Ryulong (竜龙) 07:13, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- In case you did not realized it, I also refer to him "Kamen Rider Fourze" as well in my summaries.Fractyl (talk) 07:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
You do not seem to understand things. If someone else (myself, Areaseven) writes a summary, you are not to rewrite it.—Ryulong (竜龙) 18:31, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- And I mentioned I would rewrite a bit if there were a few non-prose issues to deal with.Fractyl (talk) 22:18, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- I am tired of telling you this. Do not use "Fourze" on its own to refer to Kamen Rider Fourze. Always use the full name.—Ryulong (竜龙) 04:13, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello Fractyl,
I wanted to let you know I have reverted your additions to the Plot section of the "Hurricane!" article, because your additions were too much of an in-universe style. (i.e. Klaus' Nicholas Cage-themed encouragement speech: the "Nicholas Cage" part is too in-universe sounding and unnecessary detail.) Also, I think I reverted you several times, since you used a couple of your IP addresses too. A plot summary needs to be just enough to inform the reader about the general content of an episode; the rest of the article is supposed to cover real-world information about the episode (production, reception, etc.).
The main reason why I'm posting a message to your talk page is because this article is a GA nominee. I don't mean to sound blunt, but your revisions were also deficient grammar-wise. That puts the article even further away from ready for a good GA nominee, which isn't a good thing. The article should be at its best with its prose and content so it could get the best review possible, and maybe better chances to pass as GA. :D
So while the article is currently nominated, can I ask you, as another friendly editor, to hold off adding extra detail to the Plot section? Just that; if you want to improve the article still, go right ahead on that. I'm just saying adding extra detail doesn't exactly improve the article. (If you looked at the Wishology article, I worked 3 months on it, and I admit -- the Plot section prose reeks. XD - I even tried to nominate it to FA twice, and they both failed. :O)
Anyways, again please hold off on the extra detail to the "Hurricane!" article, at least until it received its GA review. Thanks. 89119 (talk) 05:07, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Zagin
[edit]Do not refer to Zagins as dollars.—Ryulong (竜龙) 18:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
It does not matter if they are banknotes. Most money comes in banknotes.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Bass to Mouth
[edit]Hi. Regarding the synopsis section of the Bass to Mouth article, when writing about fiction, synopsis should generally be written in the present tense, not the past tense.
Also, please do not remove important explanatory information from the synopsis. Writing "Stan and friends are visited by Catatafish", for example, may be confusing to the reader, who does not know who the Catatafish is. Some exposition on who Lemmiwinks and his spirit guides is necessary. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 11:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
- I was not, the information is still there. Just condensed a bit for the summary to flow rather than be a play-by-play.Fractyl (talk) 16:49, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
1% (South Park)
[edit]Hi. Regarding your edits to 1% (South Park), please do not rearrange the plot summary, as there is no reason for A-plot and B-plot to be summarized separately. Care should be taken to provide them in a way that mirrors how they occurred concurrently as much as possible. Also
- "Fifth Graders" is not a proper noun.
- "This incites Butters and Jimmy, and an angry group of Fifth Graders with an idea" is wrong. Butters and Jimmy came up with one idea, and the fifth graders came up with a different one.
- Regarding the passage "Despite being at Token's house, mistaking a concerned Stan, Kyle, and Kenny as the killers, the real killer manages to get inside and proceeds to put Muscle Man Marc in boiling water. Finding Rumper Tumpskin, Cartman is forced to watch his toy's head blown off by the culprit, Cartman's doll Polly Prissypants. " two points: First, it is only necessary to summarize the plot. All we need to inform the reader is that more of Cartman's toys are being destroyed. We do not need to emphasize specific details about the mutilations. This is why the previous summary is more streamlined. Second, you mention Rumper Tumpskin and Muscle Man Marc, without explain who or what they are. Given the number of varied non-human and fantasy characters that appear in the series, you can't assume that readers know who these people are. This is another reason why just saying, "Despite being at Token's house, Cartman discovers Muscle Man Marc and Rumper Tumpskin, two more of his toys, destroyed, with the remaining one, a doll named Polly Prissypants, sitting in an armchair with a revolver, claiming responsibility for all the toy 'murders'." is simpler and better. It explains to the reader what is happening in a direct, and to-the-point manner.
Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 03:52, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Episode summaries
[edit]Makai Senki still counts. And do not refer to particular events in one sentence without having described them in an earlier sentence.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
I don't think you understand our agreement. If someone else writes a summary, you don't write one. Do not rewrite the summary for Gokaiger 39. If you believe there are some missing statements, bring it up on the talk page and I will incorporate it.—Ryulong (竜龙) 04:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- For the record, that's a preview NOT a summary.Fractyl (talk) 04:25, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- This looks like an entire summary to me.—Ryulong (竜龙) 04:45, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- Unless I see the episode myself, subbed in this case because Areaseven provided the skeleton, I can not make any alteration if I wanted to.Fractyl (talk) 05:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- That is not a skeleton. It is a fully fledged summary. If you wish to make changes to it, bring them up on the episode list talk page.—Ryulong (竜龙) 08:33, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Sonoda
[edit]We will list her as a faculty member.—Ryulong (竜龙) 03:54, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- I think listing her among the Zodiarts "Horoscope group" is better due to the her position as Gamio's right hand helper. However, if the "Horoscope group" is composed entirely of AGHS faculty members, you might get your way.Fractyl (talk) 04:12, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- We don't have an official name for this group yet and that is the main problem. If she is no longer a member of the cast after next week's episode, maybe we will change her location on the page. But she is a teacher first.—Ryulong (竜龙) 04:30, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- Or until we get a flashback sequence in the next episode to explain her origins. But still, you might still get your way on the manner if the other 11 Zodiarts are certain AGHS teachers and faculty members.Fractyl (talk) 04:33, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- No. If she gets killed next week, we'll figure out what to do with her.—Ryulong (竜龙) 04:34, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Akudosu
[edit]Always list characters in order of appearance and not in the fictional hierarchy that they belong in.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:56, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- THIS IS DIFFERENT! Akudosu has been referred many times in the the series before being introduced. Plus, it's just him.Fractyl (talk) 21:53, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- No. It does not count. He has only just appeared in the show so we put him at the end of the characters.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:35, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- Plus, he's only been referred to as the "emperor". We didn't know what he looked like orwhat his name is until it appeared in the show. ~Marvelous2011~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 00:24, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Horoscopes
[edit]Holy shit, will you stop making those changes to the page? I told you we are treating them differently due to the way things have progressed in the series. We will keep the character biographies of Sonoda and Hayami separate from their abilities as Horoscopes. Or at least give me a god damn chance to set it up properly to keep Sonoda and Hayami in the faculty section, but also list their Zodiarts stuff like the Sonozaki family.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, the Horoscopes members are appearing to be members of the faculty, thus I kept Sonoda and Hayami in the faculty section within the Horoscope subsection which I modified to include their ideals. Only Gamou is left out of the Horoscopes as he has no Zodiarts form it would seem. The changes work you may, but eventually the Horoscope subsection should be attached to the faculty if more members are revealed to work at AGHS.Fractyl (talk) 21:03, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- Just do not change things beyond what I have done. And do not get rid of the Zodiarts section, again.—Ryulong (竜龙) 22:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- Changes do have to be made, but in terms of updating profiles. But since the Horoscopes group is revealed, there's no more need for a Zodiarts section. Just the link and mentioning that they are Zodiartses should be good enough.Fractyl (talk) 00:29, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
- Just do not change things beyond what I have done. And do not get rid of the Zodiarts section, again.—Ryulong (竜龙) 22:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
Your user page
[edit]There will be no more treating your userpage as a source for any and all text regarding all of the tokusatsu pages. From now on, you are just going to be sticking Japanese text on it as was originally planned. No more descriptions akin to things that will show up on the articles once reliable sources come out. I am tired of seeing so much effort put onto this page by you and AlienX2009 just so you can copy it to the actual articles when its done.—Ryulong (竜龙) 09:14, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- Why is it so bad? We do this so we can put it in the article without having to write it up again. ~Marvelous2011~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 14:35, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- Because his userpage should not be used to host information for five separate articles. There is too much effort put into making this page and your sandbox pages AlienX2009, and it is ending.—Ryulong (竜龙) 21:06, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Meteor
[edit]Nothing is known at this point because the official website is blank about him. Don't add anything until episode 17 airs.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:04, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
- But the episode 16 shows otherwise. Meteor arrived and left on his Meteorstar while using the Jupiter Level on the Libra Zodiarts. Anything besides that I have to wait until episode 17 to see.Fractyl (talk) 20:13, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
- We have no names for any of the stuff he's done. Wait until he gets a proper introduction.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:39, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
"Awatenbo Ninja"
[edit]Always translate. There as absolutely no reason for the original Kakuranger episode title to be untranslated anyway.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:18, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, there was a reason for the original Kakuranger episode: It was a play on the japanese series Abarenbō Shōgun.Fractyl (talk) 05:46, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- That's original research. Also Kakuranger had an episode with "Awatenbo" in the title, anyway, and we have it translated. We are not leaving anything untranslated just because it's an esoteric pun, anyway.—Ryulong (竜龙) 05:57, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- Not exactly original research, but the source material has been gone for a long time. Furthermore, "Awatenbo" in Kakuranger didn't need to be untranslated compared to Gokaiger as "Abarenbo" and "Awatenbo'" rhyme and continue the show's episode title theme.Fractyl (talk) 12:55, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- We're not leaving a random word untranslated just because you think it should have been untranslated in the source material.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:29, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- Again, just because it's a cultural reference to some other show does not mean that we should leave that untranslated because our article on the show is also untranslated.—Ryulong (竜龙) 05:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Episode summaries
[edit]I have told you this time and time, again (regarding this).
- Stop editting while logged out, and
- If someone else writes an episode summary, you are not allowed to overwrite it with your own copy.
Your version had several of the usual errors, such as misspelled words, misused phrases, and sentences go absolutely nowhere. If I edit someone else's summary, or write one of my own, you are not allowed to do any editing to that summary unless it is fixing a few words or adding a sentence or two. Also, I have no idea why you decided to use "Mobilate" and why you keep using "Izarn" when we have never used those terms on Wikipedia.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:22, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Stop putting your episode summaries into the articles until I have a chance to go through them. Your Fourze summary is missing the usual important words to make sentences make sense.—Ryulong (竜龙) 06:36, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
And for the five billionth time always refer to the characters as "Kamen Rider Fourze" and "Kamen Rider Meteor", and never just "Fourze" or "Meteor".—Ryulong (竜龙) 06:41, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Shinshou
[edit]Use "God Generals". We should not randomly leave words untranslated unless there's a good reason for it (that reason being usage in that English form in the original media).—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Wataru Shijima
[edit]For adult characters, particularly those in teaching roles, do not refer to them in the text by their first name.—Ryulong (竜龙) 21:05, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Summaries
[edit]When you write summaries, always use the full names of the Kamen Riders, always check the names that we use on Wikipedia, and please check your use of "at", "on", or "in". It's "Horuwankov", "Ryusei", etc.—Ryulong (竜龙) 03:46, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
And always write about fiction in the present tense.—Ryulong (竜龙) 05:24, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- That's bad sentencing, fiction or not. Fractyl (talk)
- It does not matter. Writing about fiction in the past tense makes it look like it's a real event.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:49, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Horoscopes
[edit]Never reorganize the character list again.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:16, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- HEY! It was like that for weeks and you have me believe that you accepted it as such. FURTHERMORE, it's better to organize Sonoda and Hayami under Horoscopes as being AGHS educators is their cover. Plus, had you even check the page history? Fractyl (talk) 00:54, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- I reorganized the character list because both Sonoda and Hayami are Horoscopes first, now that is clear that the original Horoscopes are employed by Gamou as members of AGHS's staff and are in fact evolved humans compared to lesser Zodiarts. Furthermore, what will become to the Horoscopes subsection once all the members are revealed and you categorize them in separate areas, like Cancer in the student area? Plus, you had me believe that you accepted my reorganization as such.Fractyl (talk) 01:25, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- I did realize it until I went to add Kijima to the character list. You should have not made the Horoscopes section a subsection of the Faculty section because we had no clue as to who would and would not be Horoscopes members, particularly because their goal is to take a student and make them Horoscopes. Just leave the organization the way it should have been in the first place.—Ryulong (竜龙) 01:45, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Episode titles
[edit]We're translating the words, regardless of the fact that it's also the series title.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- But Sentai should still be acceptable. Besides by that logic, you're encouraging people to use "Masked Rider" though "Kamen Rider" is more professional.Fractyl (talk) 04:14, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- If "Kamen" is in an episode title, it's going to be translated as "Masked". The show is "Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters", but that does not mean the episode that shares the same kanji needs to be untranslated.—Ryulong (竜龙) 05:15, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Go-Busters
[edit]Let me set up the article. Don't you dare write a whole freaking article from scratch.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:21, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
"Buddylloids", "Metalloids"
[edit]When you use these terms, use the spellings we already have instead of making up your own. Also they are not the "Special Ops" unit.—Ryulong (竜龙) 18:58, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Robots and gender
[edit]Robots do not have a gender. Do not refer to any of the Buddyloids or Metaloids as a "he" or a "she" unless it is blatantly obvious that one in the future is a feminine design. The Metaloids are created from inanimate objects that did not have a gender to begin with, so it is not up to you to decide it is a male just because it has a man voicing it. I don't care what you think should be done, because you have many times in the past been just plain wrong when it comes to writing pretty much everything. While you have been improving, it still takes at least one other editor to go through your edits and determine that you've screwed multiple things up.—Ryulong (竜龙) 21:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Summaries
[edit]I trust you a bit more now. You can put your summaries into the episode lists once you are done with them, but I would like you to do a final check in your subpage before you post them.—Ryulong (竜龙) 21:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
The general rule about summaries still stands. You cannot overwrite someone else's summary, like Areaseven's. You can add things to it, but not entirely rewrite it. If you have suggestions, bring it up on the talk page.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:26, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
You are not helping at all with your recent edits on the List of Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger episodes article. I mean, seriously, "... while the Akibarangers run off to return to their bodies being the police get them..." Do you even proofread your edits? - Areaseven (talk) 14:04, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Characters
[edit]I do not know why you are doing this but you should know you do not add characters to a character list until after their first appearance. You should not have added a section on the Taurus Zodiarts yet because we won't know anything about him for another week.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:31, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- First off, Sugiura was introduced in episode 37. Second, in #38 as the Virgo Zodiarts gives Gamou the Aquarius Switch, Hayami revealed he found a new member in Sugiura. So while his Horoscopes form is not introduced, though seen in the promo, he is verified as the ninth member.Fractyl (talk) 22:15, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- It does not matter. So long as he has not been properly introduced, you do not add him to the article as if he was already introduced as such. It is particularly a problem because his status is not reliably sourced and you have not even bothered to try to find the name of the actor who portrays him. Wait for Saturday.—Ryulong (竜龙) 22:30, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Zodiartses
[edit]Do not pluralize the word "Zodiarts" into "Zodiartses". We are treating this like we did with "Greeed" and "Yummy" (which you still screw up) and not using the standard English pluralization of adding S or ES to the end of the word.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:39, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
- First off, I never pluralized "Greeed" as "greed" can not be pluralized. Plus, it was either Zodiartses or Zodiartsi and the former works better.Fractyl (talk) 18:05, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- Neither work. It's just "Zodiarts". Also stop rewriting Areaseven's episode summaries.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- For the record, I did proof read the summary on a microsoft office. Besides, I was trying to help with better grammar and on only the older summaries.Fractyl (talk) 01:20, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- The next time you use Microsoft Office, set it in English, not this gibberish you post on the plot summaries! To further demonstrate, tell me exactly how "This forces Hiroyo rushes to the top of a building where Akagi in an attempt to personally snap him out of the delusion, getting a punch in the face before Kozkoz finds the remote needed new batteries" is a proper sentence. - Areaseven (talk) 03:50, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Wizard
[edit]I really wished you would have let me work on the page. That's why I made everything links in the template.—Ryulong (琉竜) 00:30, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Kyoryuger
[edit]Do not add content that is not sourced. You need to provide where you're getting all this information on the villains because I certainly can't find it anywhere other than dukemon's posts on RangerBoard and 2ch. If it comes from magazine scans you have to name the magazine.—Ryulong (琉竜) 18:38, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
For the billionth fucking time, do not add anything to any article particularly on articles where a show has not aired yet that states certain things that can only be known from dukemon22's pisspoor attempts at reading Japanese websites or photographs of magazine pages that come out a week before the actual magazine. I can find nothing on any website that states that the Debosu are face themed and I can find nothing that says that Torin is anything relating to the tangata manu and you should particularly not be using a word from a culture that is 5000 miles separated from Japan unless you have a god damn good reason to state that Kyoryuger is going to have a character based on the mythology of the Easter Island polynesians. Also, whoever copied over the list of the Debosu bosses needs to work better because there were so many errors not only in the katakana carried over but the Toei website had a completely different set of kanji for one of them.—Ryulong (琉竜) 03:29, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- First off, as I did not get my info from Dukemon, I did get the tangata manu from the japanese wikia and both Torin's design and name (Tori) are bird-based. Secondly, as this was from seeing the magazine image, the Debosu Army's core members show a face expression theme: happy, sad, madFractyl (talk) 03:38, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- This is all original research Fractyl. All we have right now is that the different members of the Debosu are all expressing a different emotion. And there's nothing to prove that the bird man has a tangata manu design because we shouldn't have that scan yet. Unless there is an explicit mention of "tangata manu" in regards to Torin then we shouldn't state it ourselves.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:00, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Megaforce
[edit]You need to provide a source to say Megaforce is Goseiger and Gokaiger. I do not think that it's even been on TV in the US yet so you can't say any of this until the end credits play and you see those shows' names in the credits.—Ryulong (琉竜) 15:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Actually screencaps, of the first episode have been posted on the Power Rangers wikia. Also, as you have been adamant about the footage, I only said "elements of Goseiger" (costumes, mecha) as you do see the Rangers in Goseiger uniforms and Gosei Megazord, as the toys have been out, is Gosei Great.Fractyl (talk) 15:49, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- It still doesn't matter if you can see screencaps of the Goseiger costumes. This is still the original research issue from months ago in that you're taking footage from Goseiger and footage from Megaforce and saying that the two are the same without any proof from someone other than yourself and every other fan out there. Now, what matters is that the end credits say "Based on the "Goseiger" from TOEI COMPANY LIMITED", which means we can say it's Goseiger. However, there is nothing to state that it resembles Gokaiger in any way, shape, or form. Saying that the plotlines of Megaforce and Gokaiger are similar is an even worse case of violating WP:OR than just saying that two pictures look the same. I don't think this is too hard to grasp. We have to be extra diligent about sourcing and shit on these pages because that's why List of Power Rangers villains and Villains in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were deleted last month. The only reason they're back is because I worked my ass off in the bureaucratic side of things.—Ryulong (琉竜) 18:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, the Gokaiger footage is added because the one of the scenes from the first episode uses the opening prologue of Gokaiger's Legend War as a dream sequence.Fractyl (talk) 18:48, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- What part of Wikipedia:No original research do you not understand? Unless someone in a reliable source states the information you want to add, or if it is explicitly stated by the source material, you are not allowed to say it. I don't care if the footage is lifted directly from Gokaiger episode 1. You are not allowed to make the conclusion yourself and post it on Wikipedia. I honestly don't know how to make myself any clearer.—Ryulong (琉竜) 18:54, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Phoenix/Yuugo
[edit]Stop changing the order of things in his entry. We should present information in the order it appears in the show and not put things out of order because we suddenly know the character's original name.—Ryulong (琉竜) 23:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, the original name should be placed there just like all the Phantom profiles.Fractyl (talk) 14:17, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
- No. This information does not appear until episode 20 we do not give that out in the first line. His true identity was unknown for so long that it should be treated as such. And the same goes for Sora/Gremlin. The boss Phantoms should be treated as entirely different than the rank and file ones because the assumed names are all we have for most of their appearance. All information should be treated in the order in which it is revealed to us, the audience, rather than treating this as some sort of actual biography.—Ryulong (琉竜) 14:43, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
Pterawhatever
[edit]Don't add him until he appears in the show, please.—Ryulong (琉竜) 03:29, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- But he is mentioned in the ending credits. The first verse covers him and the five primary Zyudenryu.Fractyl (talk)
Episode summaries
[edit]I thought I told you that if someone else posts a summary you are not allowed to completely rewrite it.—Ryulong (琉竜) 15:45, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but some of the info was incorrect. I would have got to it sooner if the subbed version was made available days prior.Fractyl (talk) 05:51, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- That still does not mean you completely rewrite it. Correct the mistakes, but do not replace it with your own version.—Ryulong (琉竜) 14:40, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- Also, Legion has not yet been revealed and it's Naitō in Hepburn.—Ryulong (琉竜) 14:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Please stop structuring your sentences in weird ways. The subject of the sentence (the person who is doing the act you are describing) should not be 20 words into the sentence. Keep things simple and to the point. Stop using overly flowery language to describe the events within.—Ryulong (琉竜) 03:46, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
And stop using "Ryuuga". It's been "Ryuga" for months now.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:06, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
I told you in June that you should not be structuring your sentences such that the subject of the sentence is in the middle of the sentence. Your change to the Yami o Terasu Mono episode "Lost" was completely unnecessary. Do not completely rewrite episode summaries in your style. You can fix single sentences but do not completely rewrite them anymore.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:51, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
Stop completely rewriting everyone's summaries in your own style.—Ryulong (琉竜) 16:43, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
I tell you this all the time. Your phrasing is awkward. You write too much in the passive voice. Please start sentences with the subject of the sentence. "While Kota seeks out a new job, unable to reach him at the time, Mai finds an entrance to Helhiem Forest and ventures through the portal to find Yuya." is terribly written. It has too much information in it and you discuss the fact that Mai cannot contact Kota before you even mention that Mai has a reason for contacting Kota. Please stop writing summaries like these. And please try to use the spellings we have on the project. It's "Helheim" not "Helhiem" and no more untranslated names for the Inves's animal forms.—Ryulong (琉竜) 17:01, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'm trying my best not to make mistakes like those. But the Inves' names are in katakana, not kanji. Such a notion would look like a fan translation to some.Fractyl (talk)
Gaim
[edit]No more separate articles for the Kamen Riders. These articles just get filled up with useless bullshit about their weapons and shit and never anything about the characters. From now on we are having character lists to present this information.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:24, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I thought a separate page is allowed if a reference outside TV Ashi is used. Besides, going with just Gaim as he is the title character, I do tend to update character pages when needed. Other than him, I am intending to leave the others Armored Riders alone.Fractyl (talk)
- The page is just a list of forms and weapons. There's no need for a separate article. The same pretty much goes for every other individual Kamen Rider article.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:34, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- And do not untranslate the Inves names.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:42, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- But that still makes no sense to untranslate katakana-based names.Fractyl (talk) 14:55, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- The Inves' names have not been listed in English, unlike the names of everything else in katakana. With Gaim, the Inves are not unique so it makes little sense to have their names untranslated.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 16:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- But that still makes no sense to untranslate katakana-based names.Fractyl (talk) 14:55, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
I do not know how many times I can tell you this: Please do not write episode summaries in the passive voice. Mention the subject of the sentence first, and do not go into detail about another character's actions.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 16:34, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
It's "Yggdrasill Corporation" in Gaim. Stop using "Yggdrasil". Stop rewriting other people's summaries. Stop using the passive voice. Use Wikipedia's internal terms. It's not "Orange Arms Jimba Lemon" it's "Jinbā Lemon Arms" because we don't have the proper translation yet. And it's not important that things happened in the "Takizawa District". Leave place names out of it unless it's essential to the story.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 16:25, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
ToQger
[edit]Do not fill the main page with the character list. There is nothing preventing you from making a proper character list.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 06:52, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
