Sorry

It seems I tuned out of the discussion and missed the developments, having been caught up with the Aitias arbitration request. I did take a look at it earlier today and was thinking of proposing a voluntary wiki-contract, as with Abtract and Sesshomaru in the early stages. However, as Collectonian refused to participate in it last time, and as I felt that DreamFocus would not agree to anything, it seemed pointless. I agree; RfC/U would be the better venue. Ncmvocalist (talk) 08:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps. But consider it this way; who's going to add anything further to it other than him? My prediction is it'll either help (relatively harmlessly) put himself at ease, or, he might end up finding a way to "resolve" this sooner. Btw, on a separate note, please check LHvU's talk page, asap. :) Ncmvocalist (talk) 12:01, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure a RfC/U is a good idea. We already had the WQA and it didnt work. --neon white talk 21:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
We proceed to RfC/U because WQA was exhausted. If RfC/U doesn't work and is exhausted, then we proceed to the next step. At this point, that's the main purpose. The reason for not having involuntary restrictions is to avoid interfering with any good-faith attempts at dispute resolution. Ncmvocalist (talk) 06:49, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
The problem with these editors is that such discussions usually end up with them reeling off accusations none stop. How is it going to work. A RfC/U for both users seperate. I dont think you can do a double. --neon white talk 23:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
He accidentally archived everything last night, a few hours after I posted something, the discussion still ongoing. Dream Focus 11:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
No, he deliberately archived it last night as a discussion that wasn't going anywhere. Although I said I missed the developments, I did review it for myself (in catch-up) prior to making the above comments. I agree with his assessment, and that it needs to go through RFC. As a result, I've reverted your edit; should Sephiroth BCR like to recommence those discussions, or have it reappear on this page, he will unarchive them. Still, you may make a duplicate of those discussions to appear on your own talk page if you wish, as long as you don't alter the contents. Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
My mistake. It seems odd he did that while it was still ongoing, just as my 24 hour block ended and I was able to respond it seems. Anyway, I copied them over to my talk page, to continue the discussion. I am curious for input on my last few questions. Dream Focus 21:20, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

List of Indonesian submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film

Hi I noticed you were the one who succesfully nominated this list at FLC. I am planning to take it to WP:FLRC because, due to the dead links, so much of the list is unsourced. I marked the deadlinks back in January and forgot all about the list, until I noticed the latest cleanup listings. I just wanted to check that it is okay for me to nominate this. If you think you can fix it up a bit (find replacements for the dead links etc.), let me know and I will hold off nominating it for removal. Best wishes, Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 13:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Nice work, my immediate major concerns have been addressed. I'll try and re-review it properly at a later date but even if I find some more concerns I will run them by you instead of going to FLRC. Thanks for your speedy cooperation. Best, Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 08:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
I talked to User:Sumoeagle179, and I think it would benefit all of us if we could just step back and understand each other's POV. He raises good points, even though they could be phrased better. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
We might see more activity coming your way... Dabomb87 (talk) 23:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, you have to remember that that is a very quick list of pages that I am concerned about. I am only including very short lists (like the FLCL one), potential merges (like the THOH one) and articles more out of curiosity than anything. I figured that since I'm going through all FLs, I'd add them and see how many there are. The ones I am most conerned about (and will try to delist) are what I have labelled "Type A" (the content forks) although some of the duplicate lists and some of the ones that most fail WP:WIAFL will likely end up at FLRC some day too. I suppose I mis-categorized the two Oscar lists. They do seem a tad trivial and seem more suited to the Oscar website, but there is no place they could easily be merged. I'm also curious about what you think of all this, and my rather rambling confession. It will be hard going, but I would like to try to clean the process up as much as possible, and your help would be very appreciated. -- Scorpion0422 23:41, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

An FLRC question

Just out of interest what is the procedure for merging FLs. For example, a consensus is forming to merge some FLs here, however one of those lists is also at FLRC. Basically do FLs have to be delisted before they can be merged? If not and they are turned into redirects is there some form of cascading delist, update FL stats etc. procedure or do I notify someone (you?). Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 21:34, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

I would be bold and just merge the contents. Then delist without the FLRC procedure, although someone would have to update {{articlehistory}} manually. Instructions are at User:Matthewedwards/FL. Finally, to be safe, I would bring the newly updated list to FLRC. Not for removal but for review. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 05:44, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Ideally, someone with a preexisting consensus to merge would bring the list to FLRC, which for all practical intents and purposes, will be a wash, but is nice for getting more eyes on the merge. If presented with a fait accompli of an already accomplished merge—generally what I don't want—then you can update the article history manually per Matthew. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 06:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay thanks. You two seem to disagree about whether it should be done boldly or whether I should bring 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to FLRC first. I think if there is doubt then the proper procedure (FLRC) should be followed. I can't see how the outcome would be any different to this current FLRC, but after that has finished I will bring all the other sublists to FLRC together, if you think that is okay. If those are then delisted I will then attempt to merge the sublists (there are some suprising subtle differences/errors) and then try my hardest to update the main list (out of date information from Fall 2007) and then bring that to FLRC. I know there are quite a few ifs and buts, but does it sound okay in principle? If you want me to do something different please do say. Best, Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 09:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Be sure to consult User:Gimmetrow on all this; he's the man for botification and articlehistory stuff. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
See Talk:List of members of the Commonwealth of Nations by date joined. Gimmetrow 23:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, so basically you're fine with it being done if the article history is updated manually. But wouldn't there be another problem if it didn't go through FLRC because that example still has a removal record, but if they didn't go to FLRC how would it be recorded there. I am thinking maybe it will be easier to take them to FLRC as a multiple nom. than attempt some merge & delist myself. Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 23:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
See also Talk:List of European Union member states by accession. If the merge is really settled, make sure to add the former lists to WP:FFL. Gimmetrow 23:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
But doesn't it also need to be added to the log some how as that seems to be the only thing counting the delisted FLs (or am I wrong). Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 23:33, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm. I'm only really commenting on the AH aspect. You can link to anything in an ArticleHistory link field. If the FFL people want a FLR subpage for other reasons, then use one. The count of FFLs is also kept on the WP:FFL page. Gimmetrow 00:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Another delegate?

If the new criteria revision passes, you could see a lot more activity at FLRC very soon. Do you think another delegate should be appointed? I've always liked the idea of having two, that way one can review and the other can close and there are other advantages (two opinions, less of a hassle if one delegate goes away, etc.). I was thinking maybe The Rambling Man could take the spot if he was interested. -- Scorpion0422 16:30, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Bleach episode list

Hey, I just noticed that in December, someone removed the translated titles from the Bleach season lists[1], but I can't find any discussion nor consensus to support why this was done? Is this something new that I missed? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

For that matter, something I've always wondered is where the "official" English titles even come from. The episodes' title cards only show the episode numbers (e.g. Bleach 93), and DirecTV's program guide never lists English titles like it does for many other anime series (even if those titles are wrong most of the time). 「ダイノガイ千？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:35, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

New FL criteria discussion: Final phase

Hello, I think we've hammered out a good revised Featured List criteria here. If this passes, there will be quite a few FLs (my estimate is somewhere between 50 and 75) that could soon be delisted just because of 3b. With that in mind, I'd like to get comments and opinions from all FLC regulars and everyone else who has participated in the discussion before it's implemented.

He refused to use edit summaries, refused to discuss anything, kept adding OR and excessive plot, etc and generally just being contentious and disruptive. He is now pulling the same mess at List of The Pretender characters, trying to undo the character organization, add OR etc. I've had to revert him several times in the last week, and now he's just plain out trying to edit war and as this point I'm considering him a vandal as his edits are reverting the recent clean up of that list (which took me hours).

A message from the lead coordinator

Hello and congratulations on being elected as a coordinator for WikiProject Films! As the lead coordinator, I look forward to helping set an agenda for the WikiProject for this term and beyond, and I hope that you will actively participate in working through our agenda's objectives. I ask you to take a moment and review the goals of WikiProject Films (listed on the WikiProject's front page and reiterated here):

  • To standardize the film articles in Wikipedia
  • To improve Wikipedia coverage of films by adding, expanding and improving film articles
  • To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Wikipedia film articles
  • To provide the necessary framework to assist in bringing all articles within the project scope to the highest possible quality

Since you have stepped forward to take on the responsibilities of the coordinator position, my expectations are for you to play an active role in most coordinator-related discussions and to bring new ideas to the circle whenever possible. Since all seven of us will collaborate in discussions, I ask you to take a moment and leave a comment here about your background as an editor (I provided my own background). Outline what you believe your strengths and your weaknesses are, and summarize what you want to accomplish for WikiProject Films this term. ——Erik (talk • contrib) 12:59, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Regarding Good Topics, I have worked on Apt Pupil (film) as part of a possible "Bryan Singer and his feature films" Good Topic (since the other feature films are Good Articles). So after Apt Pupil, Singer's article could be improved. Do you think his non-feature films Lion's Den and Public Access need to be under this umbrella, too? —Erik (talk • contrib) 01:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Curious about the Verifiability‎ policy

Did you read the talk page before reverting? Do you read Jimbo's statement about a Zebra being a Zebra, and you didn't need someone to tell you that? Did you see the link to the people in the Battlestar Galactica season finale page arguing that needed a reference for every single statement in an article? If you mentioned what type of dog Lassie was, but no reviews existed confirming what type of dog it was, would you not be able to do that? If the plot of something involves the main character driving a certain type of car, but no one in the episode or in any reviews refer to that type of car by name, can you still call it that? If everyone can look up a picture of it, and confirm without any reasonable doubt that it is that car type, then should you still need to have a verifiable reference to a third party media source for it? Some people believe so. We need to make the policy clearer to avoid problems. Dream Focus 01:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Is there something we can work on together that we can bring to DYK status to ease tensions? If you just don't want me to comment to you okay, assuming you do the same for me, but I really after all this time just wish we could either agree to disagree or find some way to come together peacefully.

I think the list review process is seriously flawed and should be rethought. My experience, after now having a featured article and a featured list delisted is that I am totally uninspired to ever put any more effort into creating or maintaining featured lists and articles. The process is counter to the spirit of cooperation, and to incremental improvements that are an inherent part of the wiki process. Delisting the list of longest suspension bridge spans is pointless. It is way better than it was when it was first featured, and has become THE BEST source of this information on the internet, if not the entire planet. I addressed all the serious problems with the list, and what is left to improve is very minor if not a matter of taste. This process is helping make Wikipedia a very unfriendly, uncooperative, rigid minded place. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 23:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

The BarnSakura
I, erachima, hereby award you the BarnSakura for your work in creating the Bleach seasons featured topic. Good luck maintaining it for the next ten seasons!
Shoboi's a weird case. It's not an official site, but rather a site which compiles anime airdates from tv guides. So it's as reliable as those tv guides are. The tricky bit, however, is that it does accept a certain amount of user-generated content: there is a wiki section, which is not the same as the main site (similar to ANN's wiki content) and they accept corrections from users to the main site as well (for when the TV guides are not accurate or the schedules change or what have you). However, those changes are not done directly by the users, but rather submitted (with sources) by the users and then checked and implemented by the administrators.
I would say it's reliable, though, because WP:RSE specifically mentions the case of "An Internet forum with identifiable, expert and credible moderators with a declared corrective moderation policy may, exceptionally, be considered reliable for some topics. In this sense, where moderators act as editors to review material and challenge or correct any factual errors, they could have an adequate level of integrity. This exception would only be appropriate to fields that are not well covered by print sources, where experts traditionally publish online." which basically describes how Shoboi works. It also meets the "best source available" criteria imo. --erachima talk 09:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Out of curiosity I tracked down the discussions on it, such as they were, and they all consisted of "I don't read Japanese, lol"... very helpful indeed. [3] [4] --erachima talk 09:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Unlike Anime News Network, syoboi has never produced false or incorrect information for me. Additionally, its usefulness is undeniable. This development is certainly a positive one and I would like to point out that previous discussions have never resulted in a "syoboi is unreliable" decision – discussions have always resulted in syoboi remaining of unknown reliability. I'm almost certain that this source will allow the creation and retention of several potential and current featured lists.
However, syoboi still has some points where it breaks with WP:RSE policy. For instance, as was quoted, "An Internet forum with identifiable, expert and credible moderators with a declared corrective moderation policy may, exceptionally, be considered reliable for some topics." The moderators of syoboi are claimed to be expert and credible (and this seems to be the case) but they are not verifiably so, nor are they identifiable. However, I feel that this is pretty much null since it has never been wrong. Unless everybody wants a supremely strict reading of WP:RS and WP:RSE, syoboi should be declared reliable; the only problem here is so minor it can and probably should be blown off anyway. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR talk // contribs 00:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Template:Infobox animanga move

Resolved

Hey Sephiroth, I've got a bit of a doozy for you to sort out. Bis senchi (talk · contribs) moved {{Infobox animanga}} to {{Japanime episode list - saiyuki‎}}, then manually copy-pasted {{Infobox animanga}}'s original content back to it, before editing {{Japanime episode list - saiyuki}} to be some inappropriate fork of {{Japanese episode list}} (from what I can tell based on the name and a really brief look at the code). Because of these edits, I can't simply revert the move. Could you help out, or should I ask a different admin (or post a request to a project page somewhere)?

Atelier Rorona

Hi, I am wondering if you can help moving the page Atelier Rorona back from Atelier Roronoa to the said title (or Rorona no Atelier: Arland no Renkinjutsushi if that is more appropriate given there's no western release confirmed), as that is how it is properly denoted in the logo. Thanks in advance.-- クラウド６６８ 22:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

What the vandals can't add to this article, they will probably try and stick in Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination. We should watchlist that one and protect it if the vandalometer ticks upward. The invalid claim that Cardozo was the first Hispanic Justice should be referred to the talk page of the Benjamin Cardozo article. It will likely be the next edit war.

Your opinion is requested

Hello, Sephiroth BCR. I have recently been involved with matters involving a problematic editor who uses sockpuppet accounts. He has formerly used the name Dr90s, and you were actually the first admin to have blocked him for socking in June 2008. Since then he has returned again and again to his old haunts, and has created huge disruption at the articles he has targeted. Unfortunately, apart from banning his new sockpuppet accounts again and again through WP:SPI, there is little that can be done. Recently I have filed a report at AN/I asking for guidance in the matter and requesting new ideas for ways to control or contain this problem. One admin, User:Tanthalas39, has agreed to be the go-to admin for problems concerning Dr90s and his sockpuppets. However, this solution is contingent upon agreement from both admins and non-admins. I have struggled with the idea of contacting people directly on the issue because I take WP:CANVAS seriously and I wish to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Nevertheless, I believe I cannot be accused of votestacking in this matter because the issue is what can be done to stop a disruptive and repeatedly-blocked sockpuppet master. As such there is no reasonable non-partisan position that would support the abandonment of the whole matter. The problem has already been identified and acknowledged, and all that remains is to decide the best course of action from this point forward. As an admin editor who has some familiarity with this puppetmaster, I believe your comments would be well-received, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave a brief comment either in support or in dissent of the current solutions in discussion at WP:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive546#A campaign of systematic vandalism (User:Dr90s and puppets). Thanks so much for any help you can provide. -Thibbs (talk) 14:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

FLC changes

This is just a heads up that there are some changes in the caretakers of FL/FLR. The Rambling Man will now be delegate of FL (see Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates#A FL delegate for more) as I will be away quite a bit in the coming months. With TRM now having more duties, he has appointed iMatthew as his deputy at FLR. I'm not one for watered down titles, I would have rather just made TRM a co-co-director (which is basically what he will be) rather than just calling him a delegate (and iMatt a delegate rather than deputy), but that's just me. -- Scorpion0422 01:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Claymore manga

I'm interested in helping with Claymore manga, and I saw that I think anyone could become a collaborator for it. I'm new to wikipedia, and I hardly know how to use it at all. I'm not very computer, computer programming, or using this wikipedia's programing language literate. I can barely use or do things on wikipedia. But, I love Claymore and am doing a lot of research on it personally, so I can provide a lot of help for it. Though maybe some one else could than add it to wikipedia for me, since I don't really know many of the wikipedia commands or its other programing language stuff. I have tried to briefly try to learn, but it seems so overwhelming, being so new to it, I gave up after a bit. I can press the edit, and than look at the commands of the other writings people done and do the same, which has allowed me to just be able to add my writing, but that is it for my ability to use wikipedia. I have also recently (well a litte time back) just learned about the ~.~.~.~ command, though I still have trouble remembering to do it, grr. I always have to edit what I wrote-posted and add it in. I (usally) never remember to add it the first time I write my post.

This is from the discussion page for the main page of the Claymore manga on this site:

"This article is currently part of a topic collaboration at the topic workshop of WP:ANIME. Those interested in contributing are free to sign up under the "collaborators" section. Cheers, sephiroth bcr (converse) 21:07, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

-http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Claymore_(manga)"

anyways, sorry for posting here, but I couldn't find the "colaborators" section. But, I pressed your converse link and posted here, instead.

If I can be a collaborator and help with Claymore manga, and get any help or assistance, I'd be greatful. I'll probably only be providing info about Claymore though, since being able to use wikipedia and it's language commands well, won't be happening anytime soon for me.

Spamming in K-Lite Codec Pack, QuickTime Alternative and Real Alternative

Administrator Sephiroth BCR,

Greeting.

We seem to need your help with an edit war going on in K-Lite Codec Pack, QuickTime Alternative and Real Alternative articles. User:SoftwareGuide is persistently adding misinformation to these articles regarding the official web site and version information of the subjects of these articles, ignoring our notice to stop this.

I am under the impression that the person behind this user account (User:SoftwareGuide) is also the same person behind User:V3589yvj (Contributions), User:VersionMaster (Contributions and two other IP Addresses but I have no concrete proof — It's just guess from their contribution log.
