Hang in there
You just beat me to reverting that one. You are valued here, sysop buttons or none, whatever your detractors may say. You've contributed a lot of good work to the project, and you are appreciated. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- Same here, I almost reverted it myself but I figured you could handle it. There's always people out there who are more willing to whine and criticize and take delight in tearing other people down, rather than actually doing anything themselves. Don't let them get you down. Dayewalker (talk) 02:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Cannabis Corpse
Howdy, I had just created an article about Cannabis Corpse under my user page, once I was preparing to change the article to a proper page on the Wiki I noticed you had been responsible for deleting the article twice before on the basis "doesn't indicate importance/significance". I was hoping you could tell me what gave the article this status and anything I could do to prove otherwise. Thanks -- Mr\ Lore 23:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- The article we had on the band did not show that it would fit our notability guidelines for the biographies of musical artists. I cannot remember any specifics.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you kindly, sir :) -- Mr\ Lore 14:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
official W
I'm not gonna add anything but Kamen Rider Double will make his official debut on June, 29. And it is said that Double will appear in Kamen Rider Decade and will make a cameo in Decade vs. DaiShocker. AlienX2009 (talk) 15:22, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- Only your first sentence is confirmed.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 15:39, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- Could Double be in the Kamen Rider Series article until June 29. AlienX2009 (talk) 14:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- No.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 15:17, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Could Double be in the Kamen Rider Series article until June 29. AlienX2009 (talk) 14:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
From what I've heard, information regarding Double (or, W) will be revealed on June 26. And it was said that its instalment will start at the fall of 2009, right after Decade. --Burai (talk) 16:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- I know what Double looks like, his body is like Double colors such as red and blue a video confirmed it. I know this may sound crazy but look at the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3xVwq9mrJY&feature=channel. If you look closely it matches the silhouette the round shoulders, the eyes and the horns it looks like silhouette. AlienX2009 (talk) 14:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Also his bike (I call it the Machine Zwei) looks like it was modeled by SILVER WING. And he is expected to have three forms Black/Red Form (his default form), Black/Green Form and the White/Red Form (possibly W's ultimate form.). but we won't know until Monday, June 29th. AlienX2009 (talk) 14:49, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've seen the pictures too. The default form is going to be green and black, just like the bike, which will inevitably be called the Machine Doubler. Right now, this shit can't be on Wikipedia anyway. It's just some guy who found the filming and posted them to 2chan.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- How do you know that it's the Black/Green Form is his default. AlienX2009 (talk) 14:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's what the bike's colors are.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 14:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Unnecessary Decade stuff
I noticed that in the Undead article, someone defaced it with stuff relating to Decade. Mostly when the edits contained the appearances of the Buffalo, Capricorn and Elephant Undead in Blade's World which is already covered in the Characters list of Decade. I removed those edits just there and I have a feeling that these may appear in the articles of the Orphnoch, Worm, Makamou, etc. So could you please check these other articles for those edits?
Just like one time you were on the look out for Decade-related rubbish on articles on the Riders' articles and reverted them, like in Psyga's article for example. --Burai (talk) 16:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Gaorangers
Perhaps Gaorangers (team) might be better to disambiguate the team from the show? hbdragon88 (talk) 06:01, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- ...and your legendary quick-trigger reply fingers strike again, lol. hbdragon88 (talk) 06:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, we'll have to think about it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Question for you.
What is the template for asking a page to be deleted? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- What kind of page?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:59, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- I found the templates but check it out and see if i'm on target. Hang Gao Observatory Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- talk about speedy was allready deleted. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:06, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Deletion of Ayacon page
Hi, why did you delete the Ayacon wikipedia page? It is the largest anime and manga convention in the United Kingdom and it has been run on several different years, gathering quite a history and a special place in the hearts of UK anime and manga fans. If you search for it on Wikipedia you will see that it is mentioned in four other articles and it has 46,300 hits on google. I think there should be an article on it, seeing as over a thousand people will attend this Summer's iteration of the festival and many people may be interested in the history of the convention. Certainly the reason you gave for deletion (technical deletion) seems unjust. Note that the "sister" convention of Ayacon, Amecon, still has a wiki page and it is certainly no less notable. 137.205.34.108 (talk) 10:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- There was nothing to support it being notable as a convention of any sort. Other conventions have more coverage. Amecon has that coverage. Ayacon did not.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 10:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Japan stubs
When tagging Japan-related articles as stubs, please use the list at Category talk:Japan stubs and tag the article with as specific a stub as possible. For example, the Yamanote article should be tagged with {{tokyo-geo-stub}} rather than {{japan-stub}}. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- I was trying to stick them in some sort of Japanese language stub, because it seems that Shitamachi and Yamanote are also words as well as geographic terms.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, then you'd want {{ja-lang-stub}}, too. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Deletion of Kamen Rider W section
Its confirmed already, google kamen rider W- you might want to go to your magazine store in Japan and pick your up an issue of toku insider-they already confirmed his appearance in the next decade movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.18.227 (talk) 04:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- None of this is officially confirmed by any reliable source. Dukemon can't read Japanese. And the only mention of Kamen Rider W (which is pronounced like Double and not Zwei) is that the copyright has been posted. Nothing more can or will be stated until the character actually appears.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:51, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think its pronounced Daburu or something close to that, i've done some research myself and i found out that on the Japanese IPDL website-TOEI has already copyrighted Kamen Rider W and the magazine adverts are saying that his whole rider suit will be released in the fall. I'm not trying to insult you in anyway, i'm just saying that it won't hurt to put up just the name-it's been confirmed anyway.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.18.227 (talk) 04:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- The Japanese text for "Kamen Rider W/Daburu" is already on the article. It is just not in the format that you are putting it in. I am aware that it exists. Wikipedia simply cannot host the content that you are putting up, because Dukemon or that blog you added are not reliable sources. We have to use news articles from Japan (such as the magazines which we see as scans), the official websites (on which it has been shown that the W costume will debut at a live event for the 10th anniversary), or official materials.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Shitamachi and Yamanote
Hi. I am the one who wrote those "bad, bad, bad articles" you pruned so drastically and, in my view, without a justification. Why get rid of so much information? Had you just rewritten the thing keeping the info, I would have said nothing. As it is, I must hear your reasons before I revert. urashimataro (talk) 02:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- The formatting was poor. There were no sources for anything. The sources you did have were from the Japanese Wikipedia and a dictionary. I have pruned them down into something that is encyclopedic and does not read like an essay question.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- The content on both pages beyond the introductory paragraph were also identical, except for "Shitamachi" and "Yamanote" being switched.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- First of all the Kojien is not a mere dictionary. It's definitions are considered authoritative. Second, of course the two sections were identical: the two terms were born together, one as the opposite of the other, and they MUST be explained together, which is what I did, and you didn't. Since you don't really speak or read Japanese (I do) you should have been more prudent in correcting the translation of Yamanote. In this case, "te" means direction, not hand, so in case it should have been "direction of the mountain". In any event my translation came directly from the Kojien, that is, one of the most authoritative sources around. I will rework on the part you deleted to address at least part of your objections, and if you re-revert I will seek arbitration.-urashimataro (talk) 03:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- I apologize for my mistranslation. And they can be explained together by referring to the other in text with a link to the other article (as I do in the last sentence of my reformatting). I will only try to edit the articles such that they are in
- An encyclopedic tone and
- In the standard form of other articles on the English Wikipedia
- You must understand you have no authoritative rights over these articles, and seeking arbitration over a trivial manner such as this will be a fruitless endeavor.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:27, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that this edit of yours is not correct. See the meaning of #11. It would be grateful if you could correct yourself. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 10:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

- The koujien Japanese-Japanese dictionary has this to say about 山の手。(1) 山の近い方。やまて(which it defines as 山に接近している方)。(2) 高台の土地。These accord with with urashimataro's view (1) towards/near the mountain and (2) plateau. The koujien dictionary is an authoritative source. Trying to make sense of jukugo by considering the standalone meaning of kanji is not advisable. The discussion on the Yamanote talk page finds other editors in agreement with the koujien understanding of the meaning. VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 10:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've stopped caring about the page. All I saw was poor formatting and improper tone, which I solved by removing everything. I also did not find anything in any of the dictionaries I use to say that 手 was anything other than hand or relating to hands.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 10:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm glad I got your interest in the page rejuvenated again. It's such a shame you feel the need to be so grumpy about it. It wouldn't have hurt for you to gracefully concede the point about your mistranslation (if your user page is correct, your Japanese is at beginner level, so a bit of humility would be appropriate), instead of sounding offended by another editor, in good faith, pointing out your error.

- I also very much disagree with the decision and manner in which you deleted instead of improved the content of the yamanote page. I see from your talk page it's only a month ago you were de-sysoped, partly because of your manner in dealing with content disputes. It might behove you to be a little more polite. Given your budding interest in Japan, you might want to cultivate a less confrontational persona. VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 15:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Once again, the correct response to "breezy, unencyclopedic, and poorly formatted content" to tighten up, source and reformat the content, not delete it wholesale.
As an aside, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, I would encourage you to take a nice, long Wikibreak. Getting desysopped should have been a loud alarm bell that you need to reconsider the way you work on Wikipedia, but both in the previous ou-in-Seoul romanization debate and now Talk:Yamanote you still seem to get extremely defensive about your understanding of the Japanese language and take others' corrections very personally. There's no need to do this: nobody is attacking you personally, and despite our differing views at times, we're all out here to improve Wikipedia. Jpatokal (talk) 01:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but the correct response to "breezy, unencyclopedic, and poorly formatted content" is to reformat it in any way to make it inline with the encyclopedia. I felt that there was no way to write it in a neutral encyclopedic tone, nor did it have anything to do with the individual articles themselves. Your reverts of my edits undo all of my edits are getting really bothersome and inserting the same problematic content as before. I expect this discussion to take place at Talk:Yamanote and have NOTHING to do with my arbitration case which had NOTHING to do with what's going on with these articles or the ou in "Soul" and not "Seoul" discussion at the MOS talk page.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Mini Den-O
Why? There is nothing wrong with the Mini Den-O page. Every thing I work so hard on gets Deleted? AlienX2009 (talk) 00:47, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Mini Den-O is a movie-only Rider who only appeared in one scene in the movie. He is not like Gaoh who appeared in the TV series or Nega Den-O who appeared in a special side story. He is in the same group as Yu-ki, Goldra, Silvra, Rey, Arc, etc. He is not notable oustide of the movie. Your pages keep getting deleted because you do not know the rules of Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:52, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, at least make the thread like Movie Original Rider or something like that. And if Nega Den-O gets a page why doesn't Goldra and Silvra. I think instead of making threads we should make new articles. AlienX2009 (talk) 00:55, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Goldra and Silvra only appeared in the 4th movie (except Silvra who appeared for twenty seconds in the TV show). Nega Den-O, as his article states, appeared in the S.I.C Hero Saga story in the Hobby Japan magazines for the entirety of the year. Mini Den-O, Goldra, and Silvra have enough coverage on the English Wikipedia because the content we have are all we know about them.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:58, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

K-Touch
Covers "Final Kamen Ride, Decade!" to "Faiz, Kamen Ride, Blaster!" Fractyl (talk) 14:12, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Okay. I still don't think we should put it in the article until we have textual sources, though.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 14:17, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- We should not always rely on textual sources when we are presented with the actual proof. But we should use textual sources in some cases when we have no visual source at the time.Fractyl (talk) 15:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Um, yes we should always rely on textual sources. Those are irrefutable. Interpretations of "actual proof" are not.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Suicide question
Hi. I think you are wrong to apply WP:DENY to the situation, certainly to my posting and probably to the original question too. WP:DENY seems to be about not giving vandals recognition, nothing to do with cries for help (and it seems very certain that the originakl question was probably not a cry for help anyway). Frank Bruno's Laugh (talk) 12:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- We still ignore it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 12:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Fine, ignore it, but why are you treating my post to WP:ANI as if it is vandalism. Do you think that your comments to me are appropriate, given that I just raised a concern about the original post. Curtly telling people to drop it, telling them to get a clue, accusing them of trolling is very confrontational and seems to verge on trolling itself. Frank Bruno's Laugh (talk) 12:42, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- This has been dealt with. It is not the right thing to continue to bring attention to the post. Both have been removed. Myself and Jehochman have removed the comment. Move on, and contribute to articles.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 12:45, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Again, do you consider that an appropriate way to speak to me, like I am a naughty child? It could have been removed with a quick post to my talk page saying you were concerned that even my post would provide recognition. I would urge you to re-read your comments to me, and ask yourself if you would like to be spoken to like that when you were only trying to help. Frank Bruno's Laugh (talk) 12:49, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- There is no one to help. Wikipedia is not a therapist. Find a page to improve.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 12:51, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Why do you insist on addressing me by giving me instructions? Are you just trying to annoy me? I asked you whether you considered it an appropriate way to address me. Do you have an answer to that question? Frank Bruno's Laugh (talk) 13:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've told you everything. We do not do anything. I'm telling you to do something because it is the right thing to do. I do not wish to answer your question. Now instead of just answering and asking questions at the reference desks, go edit an article. Any further comments from you on my talk page will be removed without comment.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:12, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

3rr on Yamanote
I suppose you've enough experience this isn't necessary, but since sometimes things get heated, I thought I'd give a friendly reminder that you have used your three reverts for the day. Frankly, I don't see why you insist your version stay while discussion is ongoing. Let's see how things play out first. --C S (talk) 02:36, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- The discussion started after I had changed the page. And now I have to incorporate my initial changes to improve the formatting to the poorly formatted and poorly written original version. Thank you for that.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:37, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I understand that discussion started after your first edits, but discussion has been going on for a couple days, so your last reverts are after the discussion started. In any case, how about letting the discussion conclude first? I can see you have good intentions and some points to make, but for example, the comments regarding usage and connotation seem useful, and I don't see why they need to be removed. (further comments about article contents should go on article talk page, and I also watch this, so no need to message me on my talk) --C S (talk) 02:46, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- The revert to undo everything I had done to improve the page was done without any sort of discussion in the first place. But I've acquiesced and reformatted the old content to fix the formatting and include the new content.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

MediaWiki edits
Cancel link? Isn't controlled through MediaWiki:Cancel? Anyway there have been some changes to the software which is what triggered my edit that can have had no effect on the Cancel link.Geni 13:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't know what caused it. I just saw you (and OverlordQ and Hunter) edited MW pages this morning and I didn't know what happened with it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:14, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, MediaWiki:Cancel no longer exists locally, so the problem likely lies at the MediaWiki parent. Where do such transcluded files lie? — Huntster (t • @ • c) 13:19, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Was getting ready to ask which cancel link, but now I see it. Yea, a lot of interface messages have changed behavior, few bugs open Q T C 13:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- This has been fixed in SVN, hopefully be scapped here in a bit. Q T C 13:51, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's good.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Re: MediaWiki edits
Interesting, I see that now. As far as I can tell, MediaWiki:Summary shouldn't have any impact on that particular problem, but given the recent server issues, there's no telling. Perhaps rv the last two changes and see if it works? I'll leave that to your discretion. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 13:14, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- D: But I cannot.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Lol, I wasn't thinking. Irrelevant now, though. See above. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 13:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- So it's time to yell at Meta/MediaWiki/Bugzilla.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:26, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, Bugzilla is probably the most appropriate place. Considering it doesn't even exist here, I don't know where else to track it to. May even be part of the software now, rather than a local MediaWiki customisable thing. I have never really dealt with Bugzilla before, so if you are clueful in that regard, I would ask you to file (or see if it has already been filed). Not to mention, I'm so tired, I probably couldn't wade through it :P If not, I'll try to attempt reporting it when I wake up. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 13:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I have never really dealt with Bugzilla before, so if you are clueful in that regard, I would ask you to file (or see if it has already been filed). Not to mention, I'm so tired, I probably couldn't wade through it :P If not, I'll try to attempt reporting it when I wake up. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 13:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- So it's time to yell at Meta/MediaWiki/Bugzilla.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:26, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Lol, I wasn't thinking. Irrelevant now, though. See above. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 13:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Screenshots from Kamen Rider Decade
Please feel free to resize the pictures and change the sharpness, brightness, color, contrast and hue on your own time as I have no idea what your criteria are. To me, they look fine after they've been shrunken down to thumbnails. If you have a better picture, feel free to use it. I won't mind that at all. Really I don't. But deleting pictures when you don't have a ready replacement is loco. And please don't tell me you've calibrated your monitor to show "true color" because 99% of users haven't and are stuck looking at dark pictures created by people who have calibrated their monitors... zabadoh (talk) 05:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know. Your pictures were kinda blurry. Compare your Abyss with mine. To see what I mean.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:27, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- And your Abyss looks dark to me. (insert monitor calibration rant here) And it doesn't have enough jpg compression. 119KB for a 601 × 338 picture? You gotta be kidding! My "huge" pictures you're complaining about are only 30-40KB. Yes, my caps are blurry because they're vidcaps off SD tv. After they're shrunk to thumbnails, it doesn't really matter. Like I said, if you want to get your HD sources, make nice vidcaps, color adjust the results, be my guest. zabadoh (talk) 18:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- There are no images on Wikipedia that have been lightened for users without monitor clibration. I've never even heard of the concept until you've brought it up to me. Perhaps you should just calibrate your monitor and be done with it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:03, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Please stop uploading images from Kamen Rider Decade. I don't know what the hell you are doing to take HD screenshots and have them end up as they do, but they have no real use on the articles. Not every article needs a picture to go with it and all of your images are lightened to the point where any details you may have acquired from the HD file are obliterated.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:09, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Kamen Rider Ryuki-related
What's the idea of removing the Info table of the Kamen Riders' Advent Decks? Rtkat3 (talk) 4:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- The sections were full of esoteric and useless AP data and other technical specifications. I think that the cards and the effects can be put into the articles. Just not the numbers.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:58, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Poorely written section in Greek love
I support the removal of a section that does nothing but cover each individual scholar in the article itself just becuse they discussed the literature and subject. If the references for the page were not formated with such specialised requirements, it could easily be added information through extensive but acceptable use of notes. I have even noticd that wikipedia is allowing and somewhat encouraging the use of annotated notes. Something that allows further in depth information about the refernce as a hidden box below the listed reference.
I encourage you to contribute to the article as you feel fit. As I am sure you are aware you may still edit during the AFD process and the ownership issues of the editors in dispute should not lead to edit waring.
In a good faith display I have returned the article back to it's full, unaltered state before I began editing out, unreferenced, unreliable, overweight....I could go on, but now I no longer have to. The article is back to the way it was when I was shocked to find it. This is a "base from which to move forward" as suggested by Haiduc. After your last edit he reverted it with the summary of "(rv to last by Amadscientist; please do not interfere with article in AfD;)".
It is reasonable to assume that AFD consensus will be met for Keep. I have simplified my 'Issues" tag, returned the article back to the last edit made by Dominique Blanc.
I encourage you to contribute as you feel fit to the article. Having more than three editors can only help improve the article.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- I stumbled upon the article by random, saw that the particular section I had removed had undue weight, and there was only one reference for the whole section. Even if its at AFD, the sections should probably go and I will not be working on the article that much, again.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:10, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
I saw your comments here so I thought I could seek your opinion. The article was controversially protected by Hiberniantears. I have been looking at a conversation on User_talk:Dbachmann#Note [1]. I get the impression that two administrators want to play an active role in a content dispute. I don't think it is a fair "contest" when two administrators take sides against ordinary editors in a content dispute, as administrators have have administrative privileges. Wapondaponda (talk) 17:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- I was just making an observation. Mainly as to how these things end up at RFAR and people get banned, and it'd be easier to get that over with now than go through two to three months of arbitration.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Decade vs. Shinkenger
How did you know there will be a crossover? AlienX2009 (talk) 09:54, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Reversions to userpage and ani
Hi, I am not sure that this reversion on ANI or this reversion to a userpage is the right way of going about resolving what seems to be an issue the editor who made those posts has. Let me know what your reasoning was there. Unomi (talk) 13:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- The user has been blocked as a sockpuppet of a banned user.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:32, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, so it has. Unomi (talk) 13:54, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Reverting on other users' talk pages
You removed another user's comments on my talk page without explanation. If it's not clear vandalism, it's best not to to do this on the talk pages of other users. While you may have not know who the edit was from, or what it was about, I do know. If there is a reason, you should state this in an edit summary so I don't have to try to hunt for a reason elsewhere (I didn't find one on the other user's talk page or logs, nor on your talk page). Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 16:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Banned user as stated above.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. I didn't click on the links on every post above to see who was involved, hoping to find the one related to the user you reverted. Please try remember to use edit summaries in the furture for all non-clear-vandalism edits. Thanks, and no worries! - BillCJ (talk) 16:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Re [2]. Can you clarify your source for this? I don't see Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Muntuwandi being updated William M. Connolley (talk) 16:20, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- I asked Dominic to run the check. [3]. I also found another probable account but it is too old to check, and PelleSmith's comments (linked to by Muntuwandi later in the discussion) also reveal another possible account.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:21, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Refimprove tag at Kamen Rider Series
Not all the unsourced info in the Kamen Rider Series article is plot summary as the history section is not all plot summary as info like "Kamen Rider premiered on April 3, 1971, to lower than expected ratings, and verged on the brink of cancellation" is not plot summary and needs a source. Powergate92Talk 04:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, then those should be dealt with individually instead of categorizing the whole article as such.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Also info like "The Kamen Rider Series originally began under the title "Masked Hero Project". Produced by Toru Hirayama (平山 亨, Hirayama Tōru?), the series spent nearly five years on hold while Hirayama worked on other shows and searched for a proper character designer. In 1969, Shotaro Ishinomori, who was a known face in tokusatsu at the time, was approached by Hirayama to have his Skull Man manga adapted for the Masked Hero Project. Originally the project was rejected due to criticisms that it was too violent for the timeslot it was given." needs a source. Powergate92Talk 05:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

FFR
How do you know that the Final Form Rides such as Kuuga Gouram, Agito Tornador and Ryuki Dragredder. Shouldn't they be called like Gouram Form, Tornador Form and Dragredder Form? Decade's Form Ride Cards are like Den-O Ax when they should be Den-O Ax Form. AlienX2009 (talk) 04:10, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- They are not. The names of the Final FormRide forms are on the official website simply as "Kuuga Gouram" or "Agito Tornador".—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Archaeology help
Since you're an Archaeology Wikiproject member, I thought I'd ask you for help — are you aware of any good online sources for South Dakota archaeology? I'm trying to put together a few articles to group together many sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places in South Dakota, but I've so far found only one non-NRHP website. Nyttend (talk) 04:53, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. I've never really studied things in the western US. My research is mainly Southeastern US, Mesoamerica, and some Egypt.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:55, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks; any idea about Wikipedia editors whom I could ask? I went through the list of project members and couldn't find anyone who was (a) active and (b) specifically interested in the Great Plains, or indeed anything else west of the Mississippi. Nyttend (talk) 12:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know if you want to go with Wikipedia editors. Perhaps you should look into the anthropology/history departments of universities in South Dakota instead.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 12:51, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
