Hey, so I took a look at it.... And yeah, it's just basically dissing Yunho, saying that he has a horrible voice and that he'll only be known for being a pop idol and not a legitimate singer. And it doesn't really directly deal with TVXQ. SKS2K6 (talk) 18:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Shinee
It looks good. You might want to re-use the refs for the Awards section, and I fact-tagged that fact that Jonghyun is the "lead singer", as there really is nothing stating that. (Personally, I feel that him and Onew are equal in terms of singing talent and time, but that's just me.) The main problem, though, is that because they're fairly new (less than a year old), there's limited material out there on them, and that will obviously limit the article's scope and length. Because of that, you may get stuck on B-class. Also, you may need more (free, non-copyrighted) pictures. Good luck, though. SKS2K6 (talk) 07:16, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that article does state that he is the "main vocal" (a la Kangta of H.O.T), while Taemin is the dancer like Jang Woo Hyuk from H.O.T. That should be fine. SKS2K6 (talk) 18:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
TVXQ copyedit
Sure, I'd be glad to ce. My edits might be kind of sporadic today, though, since I've got a martial arts class. Ink Runner (talk) 20:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
"voice of EARTH"
What do you mean it doesnt pass? 129.130.201.96 (talk) 01:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Did you even read it? Moon and Sunrise 02:00, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes I read it. Now stop dodging the question. 129.130.201.96 (talk) 02:03, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- No one is "dodging the question". I just wanted to know if you read it you'd see you it states "Articles and information about albums with confirmed release dates in the near future must be confirmed by reliable sources..." The album has no sources whatsoever. Moon and Sunrise 02:28, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- http://www.cddata-mag.com/mscds/atst_cd.php?cd_id=2636&atst_id=221 is not a source? 129.130.201.96 (talk) 03:54, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- How is it reliable? Moon and Sunrise 03:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Didn't you just say there was no source? Now you are changing your reason ehh? You see "reliable" is a very subjective term. Since you are the one who removes the page, may I ask you what makes a published magazine's online version NOT reliable? 129.130.201.96 (talk) 04:06, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

- I'm not changing anything. I bold that part for a reason and I'm not changing my reason. You never once stated that the source was a online version of a published magazine. If you had said that in the beginning then I would have redirected it back to alan's page. Moon and Sunrise 04:19, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- ? I included the link in the last change to which you responded "Still does not pass". Anyway, if you can kindly remove the redirect then I'm done. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.130.201.96 (talk) 04:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's all you did. You're the one who doesn't want the to page redirect to alan, so you should have specified what it was. Moon and Sunrise 04:31, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Sorry for the miss understanding. Moon and Sunrise 04:45, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
J-Pop
I have noticed that you take an interest in Japanese subjects, and so I was wondering if you could help me and Ink Runner out with this article (J-Pop)? The article was transformed from an incoherent stub into a promising and lengthy piece of artwork by a native Japanese speaker and resident, however it still requires quite a bit of grammatical and styling help. Sorry for the spam, but I do think this would be good for the article. ★Dasani★ 04:23, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
This Is The One [moved]
I moved it to fix the capitalization, the 'The' is capitalized on the album art. I tried moving it to "This Is The One (album)", but the name was taken so the only other option I could think of was "This Is The One (Hikaru Utada Album)."
Msg
msg: 1) Then what if nowhere it is written that Ayu has used a cross for concerts? It's QUITE obvious that she's used that, as it's on the official DVD. And she wore a cross at AT08, Endless sorrow PV, so many places. And M isn't speculation because it's obvious from the PV. But where do you get it from that it's only "speculation"? The source supposedly used for where Ayu talked about the saint Mary doesn't even have a link or text, so it could be talking about anywhere. I doubt that you've read that yourself.
- 1) So, what if she uses/wears a cross? There are plenty of artists that use/wears a cross in their concerts, in their PVs and in everyday life. If you go to this page and look at note 5 you'll see that it is speculation.
2) Also, are you in charge of the Ayu page or something?
- No one is in charge of the page.
msg2: 1) Actually, where does it say that an official picture isn't a reliable source? I don't see anything on the two links you gave me.
- Ink Runner answered that I guess...
RE:
msg3: I see.
1) A cross is inevitably connected to religion though. You can't really stray away from that. Jesus isn't a historical event but religious, and if it weren't for him crosses wouldn't be used in the way that they are today. Saying that crosses don't prove religious inspiration borders more on personal opinion than fact. It's like saying that wearing a T-Shirt with the sky on it doesn't mean that you were inspired by the sky. Sky = sky. Anyways. There's a TA message where she says that power from God came down to her in writing Days' lyrics, and recently in a TA message she said she believed in a God that gives freedom. How do you use a source like that though. I mean, there is no official page for it. It's from a private website (TA). Though there's also a CNN interview where she says all her lyrics are given to her through God's power, so I'll just use that.
- All of that is WP:OR. Can you prove in the CNN interview that she said that all of her lyrics are given to her through God's power. Because in a source on the page, it says [she] "draws from her own experiences and emotions" and tries to put them "honestly into words".
2) You didn't answer the question if you are officially in charge of the page, or if you're just other editors..? ;)
- See previous #2.
3) How does the source regarding M count as reliable if it doesn't link to anything? Anyone can just write the name and number of a magazine.
- I didn't put that there ask, Ink Runner. But on the M page it states: Barry Walters of the Village Voice speculates that the "Maria" in question is Mary Magdalene; however, it should be noted that "Maria" in Japanese most often refers to the Virgin Mary.
Now here is the link to prove that. Source.
4) All Mary's have a connection to Jesus. Either followers, disciples or his mother. Jesus = religious, so religious inspiration.
- Still doesn't prove its his mother. Also see above.

Jaejoong (re)
Not sure about the specific city he was born in, but most sites agree that he was born in the Chungnam province (Chungcheongnam-do). I just asked SKS2K6 to translate an article that MAY have more information on his birthplace, but idk if we'll find anything. - rairakku(talk to me) 01:32, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Separate articles? Interesting idea... would it work? As far as I know, the members haven't done much outside of TVXQ, so most of the information about them is on the group page. - rairakku(talk to me) 03:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Yep, it's Gongju. - rairakku(talk to me) 03:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: Ayu's style
Thanks a lot for the source, I'll try to work it into the article as soon as I can. (Been kinda busy with projects, meh.) Ink Runner (talk) 19:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
I believe that I've fixed all of the issues you mentioned with the article, and it's ready for another look. --20:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: Koda Kumi (long and boring post)
Stylistically, I think the article is fine, but FAC has really, really high standards, and even if the prose is OK and it's well-sourced, some people might say that there's not enough said about her style, or the style/subject of her albums, etc. Granted, the article won't be as long as Nine Inch Nails, but I think there's still some more that can be said about her style at least (for example, there was an article on a Chinese news site about how Koda used the video of "Taboo" to comment the nature of taboo subjects in Japan, and things like that). I've been trying to keep up with the article as much as possible (I recently added some stuff to the Image section), but there are still a lot of reliable sources that I haven't perused yet (like Google News, a lot of Chinese news sites, etc.) I don't read much Japanese, so if you could translate Japanese articles or look for translations on fan sites, that would be good too. And I wouldn't rush FAC, that's what I did with Ayu and it took three candidacies (and a little over a year) to finally make it. We should probably rope Dasani in too, since she's interested in J-pop and reads Chinese (that way she can look for articles while I watch Heroes and pretend to be looking for articles. I wonder if that's why Ayu took so long, but watching Sylar eat brains is more interesting than translating stuff.) Ink Runner (talk) 06:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- No, I don't mind, since you're probably more familiar with the subject and would know better how to organize it. Oh yeah, one thing, when I wrote Ayu's article, I modeled it after FAs like Celine Dion and Mariah Carey, grouping it by album. But I remember that someone on a J-pop forum said that singles in Japan are much more important than singles in America (where the albums are the main thing and singles are released as "afterthoughts"). So I'm wondering, should Kuu's article be arranged like the aforementioned examples, or should the singles be given more prominence? Ink Runner (talk) 06:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I think the best thing to do would be to go by chronological order. Like, have each paragraph mention the singles first and then the album. So like for Black Cherry, there would be a sentence or two (concerning themes, sales) about "Koi no Tsubomi", then a sentence or two about "4 Hot Wave", and so on, then a sentence or two about the album itself at the end. There aren't any FAs to emulate, so I guess this will be somewhat of an experiment. Ink Runner (talk) 20:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Changmin Page
I am SO sorry I had been battling with you on the Changmin page. I just joined (as you can probably tell) and noticed that only Max's was missing, so I tried to make one similar to the others. Little did I know I was being a complete jerk, considering that you were doing the same thing already. I really am sorry! I'll back off now, and I hope I didn't annoy you too much..
Milyncha (talk) 00:12, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Just so you know, this page is automaticaly updated on a daily basis, there is no need add articles to the list manually. Might save you a bit of work. PC78 (talk) 16:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't know that. Checked that page a couple of times and didn't see their names so I thought I had to do it manually. Thanks for telling me. ~Moon~月と日の出 ~Sunrise~ 16:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Ink Runner tried for a bit, but now he's taking a break. Hmm, well, I checked the edit history (not to be rude or anything, even though I probably am) and you're not there? Whatever, it's okay.
PS! Are you male or female? ★Dasani★ 19:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
You're Signature
Your signature means "Moon and Sunset"... "日の出" means "Sun's Departure" (literal translation, or "Sunset"), but your name means "sunrise", which would imply that it's dawn, so a better translation would be "暁" (Akatsuki, or "daybreak"). moocowsruletalk to moo 00:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- I changed it. Thank you for pointing that out. I thought "日の出" meant "Sunrise".... Anyway, lol, thanks again for pointing it out. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 00:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't apprectiate you reverting my edits. How rude of you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.222.76 (talk) 03:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

alan
If you don't know anything about Tibetan names you wouldn't have chosen the right template for a TIBETAN person. It's that simple. She is Chinese by citizenship and Tibetan by ethnicity. The template automatically assumes that she has a family name, and in the pinyin & wade-giles the name is reversed, which is ridiculous. Han Chinese have family names that are placed before their given names. Tibetans generally don't have family names and it's rather ignorant to place a Chinese personal name box for a Tibetan person, regardless of politics. Why don't you change Takeshi Kaneshiro's name to Jin Cheng Wu or Cheng Wu Jin even though everyone calls him such in his native Taiwan?
As for capitalization of the artist name, what makes you think her OFFICIAL site is not more authoritative on this matter than the media? (One of the three links was even written before she had an artist name). And where does it say artist names must have the first letter capitalized? See melody. 129.130.128.179 (talk) 16:27, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Your Edit
I realize my post was not "constructive," but neither was the posts that says:
I think this article's existance is just stupid. --AnY FOUR! (talk) 12:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
So how is that constructive? And WHY did you choose to leave that comment up but delete mine? If you're going to play WikiPedia sheriff, be fair. Delete that one too. There is nothing "constructive" in it either.210.133.127.14 (talk) 04:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- But he wasn't attacking anyone. You were and that goes against Wikipedia's policy of no personal attacks, him saying the article's existence is stupid isn't against a policy. That's just him being ignorant. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 04:14, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Aha. So then it's OK to post things that are not "constructive," just as long as it doesn't attack anyone. Is that WikiPedia's policy?210.133.127.14 (talk) 04:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- You are suppose to make constructive edits no matter what. But the only time someone can remove a comment that was posted is when it violates WP:NOTAFORUM and WP:NPA. I didn't make the rules. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 04:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Can be speedily deleted under G7 since the author blanked the page. LetsdrinkTea 18:15, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Double (singer)
Thanks for your work on Double (singer). That article was only the second one I contributed, when I was pretty early in my Wikipedia career. I'm not surprised it needs some work. TJRC (talk) 17:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, although I didn't really do much (the first time) cause I was busy with other projects. But Double is now definitely one of the many articles that have a TOP priority on my list of work. As a matter of fact I'm gathering up sources as I type. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 17:41, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- It's great that you have some sources. I didn't have much in the way of sources, when I made the first cut, and it shows. I mostly wrote the article because I was trying to find information on her, and when Wikipedia failed me, I decided to gather what little I had found into an article. I do that a lot; I see I'm up to 22 articles now, and that was the motivation behind most of them (including Leo Funtek, which I just pulled together last night). I assume Wikipedia will have something about what I'm trying to learn about; and if it doesn't, I add it.
- Good luck with your Japanese. My equivalent is Mandarin Chinese; my wife is a native speaker, and I hate that my kids know more Chinese than I do already, and they're only 2 & 4. I've been studying since before they were born! TJRC (talk) 21:04, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Copyedit suggestions
I've left some questions/comments at Talk:Shinee in response to your request at the copyeditors' wikiproject. I originally misunderstood "GA review" though - I thought you meant like WP:FAR, i.e. it's a GA and you don't think it should be. My mistake. :) Recognizance (talk) 21:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
I'll take care of your other article soon. I was actually about to leave you a note about the rationale being unclear when you updated it (my fault, I went on a cleaning spree). Anyway, I'll leave comments on that article's talk page if there's anything significant I think needs work. Recognizance (talk) 21:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- It's cool. I kinda figured that because you removed the Shinee request that you (or other copy editors) wouldn't understand why I was requesting the copy edit. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 21:50, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I'll get to the point. Although the DUI incident did happen, I actually do have trouble finding sources. I only found translations of the articles and since I'm terrible at reading Hangul, I can't locate the original article. Would the translations suffice for now? http://shiva04.multiply.com/journal/item/173/Shocking_news_-_DUI is a translation of the article at http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:jC9fXOExY0IJ:soompi.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t48773.html+jaejoong+dui&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us (the article is posted on a forum with the link to the news site, kukinews.com, but not the actual article). Blackarcadia (talk) 20:23, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Aah! Here we go! Here's an article: http://news.onmam.com/news_content.asp?NewsNum=26513&p_cate_code=002004&linkid=dnews . It would be safe to revert the edit and then add sources, right? I'll wait for your call on this. Blackarcadia (talk) 20:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well since you found a source you can go ahead and revert and include the source. Thanks for understand why I reverted your edit. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 21:23, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Why are you writing about an album titled UNTITLED and a 7 day concert
Hello, but you recently wrote a section for KAT-TUN about their next fourth album and a 7 day concert and a message was sent to me about vandalism. First off, the 4th studio album is not titled UNTITLED, the album just currently happens to be untitled, still. Secondly, even though you wrote about the 7 day concert, you didn't even provide any external link for credibility, plus, it's been changed to 8 consecutive days and not 7 days. With an extra 2 days in June and 3 concerts in Osaka Arena. So before you write about a section, make sure you provide link and not just notes. I didn't vandalize anything. Nothing you wrote had any credibility or proof (and by that I mean links). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flipangel 88 (talk • contribs) 07:37, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Miyavi article
I'm curious as to why you've marked my edits as vandalism on the page for Miyavi. It would be appreciated if you added tour two sources, but treating it as speculation isn't really appropriate at this point. Each artist has addressed the issue on their personal blogs. Perhaps it would be good practice to discuss issues before starting a revert war. --Jacob Talk 19:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to marked your edit I just clicked on the wrong revert button. That's happens sometimes. I don't understand what you mean by "tour two sources". It has to be treated as speculation because it was just reported by newspapers without them providing an source. They don't say a friend of the family told them it just says they got married. Also you say they addressed it on their blogs, but yet you have not provide a source saying that they have. You just reverted it to the crappy version. Sorry if this sound kinda mean, it's not suppose too. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 19:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- I suppose if you're not going for a malicious tone, you will not say things like "crappy version". The blog most easily referenced is that on his official MySpace (which is written by him, in English), and if one were to doubt the authenticity of that, the blog on his official site mentions (in Japanese) the same regret about not releasing the information earlier. I think maybe it could be appropriate to mention that Miyavi plans to make an official statement at his 5 April concert, though. (Regarding "tour two sources", it was a typo for "your", as I believe you included extra sources in your edits). --Jacob Talk 19:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- But you did revert it to the crappy version though. You removed two sources and replace a (nearly full) paragraph with a sentence. Anyway, I edited the page somewhat and added sources from his MySpace and official website. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 20:18, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- What you'd call "crappy" I'd call "concise", but in the end these are just preferential :) Thanks for working in the sources and new wording. I hope that as thing are announced and solidify, we can make it read less like a news report, and more like an encyclopedia. Cheers! --Jacob Talk 20:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Dragonball Evolution
Excuse me, I see you reverted my contributions on the articleDragonball_Evolution. In my opinion, what I wrote it's important because it reflects the thoughts of a large amount of fans all over the world, there's nothing I had invented and it comes from reliable sources, I cited one of them. I tried to be as neutral as my english allows me and it compiles Wikipedia standards as far I can see. I don' consider that my contribution is wrong at all (even there's an personal opinion in the same section of the article. If it stays, why not what I wrote if it's neutral?). I would be grateful if you revert your edit please.--Otakusama (talk) 03:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- A fan blog is not a reliable source so I will not revert the edit. Also adding fan views is okay if it is report by a reliable source, a newspaper article for example. Not a fan blog created to criticize the film for not being like the anime. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 03:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry about the comment at the top. Well i have to differ from you, even if it is a blog, it represents something real and what's happening all over the world, I'm citing what fans are criticizing which means the reception of a movie, even if it isn't positive for the film, it's what is actually happening. I'm going to improve what I wrote then, I hope there'd not be any problem by that. Sorry about my insistence, but it's very important to emphasize both sides of a card when talking about the reception of something, if you know what I mean.--Otakusama (talk) 04:04, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- I understand what you mean, but if you add back the content using the blog as a source it will be reverted and you will be warned. Because as I said a fan blog is not a reliable source. So please refrain from doing so. Just wait I'm sure articles will be reporting about how the fans feel about the movie. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 04:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry but I don't see the trouble. Zac Bertschy of Anime News Network is also an user, isn't he? And a personal user's opinion on an article isn't neutral at all, am I right? I'm trying to be as neutral as possible because it's something it've to be known as I explained before and if anybody has a doubt of what it's written is true, that's why there are citations. A site where news are published with its own domain should not be considered as just a blog like the ones published on blogspot and similars (sankaku complex, ain't it cool news and RMN are managed by their own administrators as any Web site, and they are "news" and "review" sites, not just blogs). I can't just say that there are strong critics from fans without citing them, at least the most representative or notorious.--Otakusama (talk) 05:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- According to User:Collectonian, Anime News Network reviews are reliable. Ask her if you have questions about Zac Bertschy's reviews. Sankaku Complex is a blog whether or not it is hosted on it's own domain or on blogspot. Same goes for "Ain't It Cool News" and "Real Movie News". Look at Perez Hilton's site do you think just because it's hosted on it's own domain it is a reliable source? We all know there are fans who dislike the movie so there isn't anyone who doubts it is true. This is what a reliable source is:
"Reliable sources are credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand". ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 05:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)- I'm sorry I don't agree with you. Maybe you're are right about the "reliable sources", it's clear, but when I say in the article that there have been strong critics against the movie from "fans"(which means non-professional opinions), I am citing those "fan reviews/opinions", which all are as reliable as they had watched the movie (I wathced it by the way, there was a premiere at my country and I know they are talking about the real thing). Is not like If i were saying that the movie is a failure with one of those citations or that there i were saying that an official sequel with a comment from a user. Sorry for the inconvenience, I am just defending what I think is right, but I'm quiting for now, i've explained myself the best i can. Have a nice day.--Otakusama (talk) 05:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't make the policy just enforcing it. Same to you. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 05:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- (EC) Fan opinions/reviews are completely irrelevant unless they are mentioned in reliable, third-party sources. Only critical commentary is acceptable on Wikipedia and it must come from actual reliable sources, not just what someone posted in a blog. This is a basic guideline of Wikipedia, as it is an encyclopedia and not just a fansite. Anime News Network is a reliable source, well-known in the industry, so the views of its reviewers are considered reliable, appropriate critical reviews, not just user/fan opinion.-- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

- According to User:Collectonian, Anime News Network reviews are reliable. Ask her if you have questions about Zac Bertschy's reviews. Sankaku Complex is a blog whether or not it is hosted on it's own domain or on blogspot. Same goes for "Ain't It Cool News" and "Real Movie News". Look at Perez Hilton's site do you think just because it's hosted on it's own domain it is a reliable source? We all know there are fans who dislike the movie so there isn't anyone who doubts it is true. This is what a reliable source is:
- Sorry but I don't see the trouble. Zac Bertschy of Anime News Network is also an user, isn't he? And a personal user's opinion on an article isn't neutral at all, am I right? I'm trying to be as neutral as possible because it's something it've to be known as I explained before and if anybody has a doubt of what it's written is true, that's why there are citations. A site where news are published with its own domain should not be considered as just a blog like the ones published on blogspot and similars (sankaku complex, ain't it cool news and RMN are managed by their own administrators as any Web site, and they are "news" and "review" sites, not just blogs). I can't just say that there are strong critics from fans without citing them, at least the most representative or notorious.--Otakusama (talk) 05:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- I understand what you mean, but if you add back the content using the blog as a source it will be reverted and you will be warned. Because as I said a fan blog is not a reliable source. So please refrain from doing so. Just wait I'm sure articles will be reporting about how the fans feel about the movie. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 04:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry about the comment at the top. Well i have to differ from you, even if it is a blog, it represents something real and what's happening all over the world, I'm citing what fans are criticizing which means the reception of a movie, even if it isn't positive for the film, it's what is actually happening. I'm going to improve what I wrote then, I hope there'd not be any problem by that. Sorry about my insistence, but it's very important to emphasize both sides of a card when talking about the reception of something, if you know what I mean.--Otakusama (talk) 04:04, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Temporary injunction and your use of my monobook script
Hi Moon-sunrise,
I am pleased to see that you have used my monobook script to remove the autoformatting or linking of dates or other functions; I hope you have found it useful.
This is to let you know that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Wikipedia:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.

I'm afraid I don't know this singer at all, so I don't know if it is a single or not. Or, if it is, what it was released to promote. It might be better to ask at WT:SONGS to see if any other editors may know. Sorry I can't be any more help, --JD554 (talk) 11:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Best&USA single issues
I do not apreciate being tagged with saying I made a change that was not constructive. It is your OPINION that the single "Vivid" should be listed as a single from the album. It was NOT released in support of the album so it should not be listed as a single. If you want it to be listed as a single because it appears on the album, in one song and one edition, than you should post ALL of the singles that appear on this album. It is unfair that you change something when I have a valid point. Instead of trying to keep it your way, why don't you discuss with me like you are supposed to and maybe compromise. I am tempted to get help for this by contacting Wikipedia in their issues section. I feel like you are preventing me from being able to have a voice here on Wikipedia. My changes are valid just as much as yours. Danielquasar (talk) 02:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not "preventing" you from having a voice. Like I said on the talk page, nowhere in the article does it say "Vivid was released to support the album", the fact is the song appears on it so it is a single. What valid point is there? You say it was released to support the tour yet there is no source. You should have took your own advice before changing anything. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 03:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- I understand I over reacted with my edit. I am using exactly what you say to say my point is valid. If you say it should be included because it appears on the album then put every other single on the list. They all appear on the album so therefore, by your reasoning, they should be included too. It only makes sense. Danielquasar (talk) 20:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

- There was no source proving that it was released to support the tour, so it was removed. It wasn't an "unfair" edit it was a valid edit. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 03:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ironically in perfect timing with our dispute. Danielquasar (talk) 20:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- That's soooooooooooo great. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 23:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- So, I have an idea for some compromise. I'm sorry I made a huff. Anyways, what if we added a section to the Best&USA article that listed the singles that made the best of? Their full names and not just the songs that appear on the album. Could even list their total sales. Would give people more places to go and generate more continued reading AND would satisfy my wanting Vivid removed from the main single list. Or just list all the singles in that list. I don't know. This BoA article is different than other articles on how they list things. Ayumi's A Best: Complete doesn't even list Mirrorcle World and Utada's Singles Collection Vol. 1 doesn't list COLORS either. Even though both had singles released right before the collections. Shouldn't there be some cohesiveness? Why would they not list them but yours does?
- That's soooooooooooo great. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 23:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes but it isn't a song, it is a single which has just much significance as an album and therefore should have an individual article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.215.123 (talk) 18:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Re:FL prep
My apologies for the late response; I've been quite busy lately. As for whether it's ready, I'm honestly not a great judge of this type of list. My best recommendation is to look at FLs that are similar to this one; I believe Jaespinoza (talk · contribs) has worked on a number of similar lists. You may wish to ask his opinion. If you still feel you are unready for FLC, then I'd recommend that you open a peer review and ask for commentary from the people listed at WP:FLRV.

Re: Take a look?
Hi. I did some minor fixes there. I think its passable. I am wondering if you could use the magazine as a supporting inline source. The prose I think needs a little more polishing. But overall its good. --Efe (talk) 12:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- Welcome. You may be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Record Charts, so I am inviting you. --Efe (talk) 23:32, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- I think it needs more copy editing, specifically for consistency and technical aspects. For example:
- "female Japanese artist" and "non-Japanese Asian male artist". Which must come nearest to "artist"? The nationality or the gender?
- "to have four number-ones" use hyphen when the term is used as adjective. No hyphen when its noun.
- fastest selling single of 2008" should be "fastest-selling".
- "Mirrorcle World" [sic] Why the use of sic?
- "debuted atop the chart, this made" should be ", making" or alternatively "; this made"
- Hope that helps. --Efe (talk) 12:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, it's difficult to say if they should be classed as professional reviews or not. The about page doesn't seem to give any indication as to whether the reviewers are music journalists or paid reviewers. On the face of it, the reviews seem okay, but if you had better reviews from specifically music publications/websites, large newspapers etc that could be used instead, I would go with them. --JD554 (talk) 12:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

- No I mean noticeable. The difference between this game and any other is it's on my watch, the others are not. A list of game websites doesn't make pass WP:N, add in reviews, write a character section, write a setting section, write in whatever this this says you need to write. If you want it to barely pass just add in reviews. That's what "significant coverage" means. ~Moon~月と暁~Sunrise~ 11:57, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Moon-sunrise. Your expertise seems to be East Asian pop music given your prolific activities to DYK and GAs. Could you take a look at the article to see if the article meets our notability guideline. I'm not familiar with such topics, so I ask your favor. Thanks.--Caspian blue 13:31, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. Looking at the article I have to say that she doesn't any of the notability guideline. If you can add more information on her and add sources which the article needs in the worst way then it'll pass WP:N's general guideline. Hope that helps! 月と暁 00:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, I have to work harder with time. Thank you for the advice. Although I'm not a big fan of her, I think she is notable enough. However, that needs a lot of work. And I may refer to your GA articles when I working on such pop stars. So keep the good work!.--Caspian blue 01:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

How's that Tetris bit about Utada trivia?
It's a talent that's sourceable on a number sites, had an event centered around it, etc and apparently she's been playing the game nearly every day since she was five. It should probably be noted somewhere. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 20:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- How is noting that she is an avid player of tetris going improve the article? How is noting she is a avid player of tetis important to the article? It is just a hobby that she enjoys. It's like adding onto every other article that X is good at playing Y. The whole thing is trivia plain and simple. 月と暁 20:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hobbies, especially those that one has participated in for the greater part of one's life, are arguably biographical information. She also plays competitively to the extent that Nintendo sponsors events in which the sole purpose is to beat her for concert tickets. Either way, even if it were trivia, that alone does not warrant its omission; WP:TRIV only states that separate trivia sections should be avoided. Given that an admin has already okayed the information, I don't think there's any meaning in turning this into an edit war. 71.207.8.30 (talk) 05:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- If you looked at the source it only talks about her Tetris score which is something that belongs on a fansite not an encyclopedia. It doesn't say anything about Nintendo sponsoring an event so a fan can win concert tickets. Her playing tetris and achieving a high score holds not encyclopedic value whatsoever. Also, why bring up the admin? I don't care if an admin okayed the information. An admin is an editor just with more rights, their edits can be reverted too. You are the one starting an edit war, per WP:BRD you should have waited for me to respond here or started a new section on the article's talk page before undoing the edit. 月と暁 11:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Guidelines regarding language icons
Hi. In your recent edit to On/Off here you asked about the guidelines for where to position the language icons for reference sources and external links. "Wikipedia:External links" says that they should go at the end, although if you are using the "Cite" template, it would seem to make a lot more sense to make use of that template's "language" field rather than clumsily mixing two formats.
Also, regarding the use of "#" to mean "number", I don't know if there are any explicit Wikipedia manual of style guidelines concerning this, but you may not be aware that the symbol is not so widely used to mean "number" outside North America, and so writing it out in full will avoid confusion among Emglish speakers (and non-native speakers) worldwide. I hope this clarifies the situation. --DAJF (talk) 02:46, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing out that the language icon should go on the end but to better so the language of citation it would be better to use the language icon since it displays what language the source is in clearer. And since there is no rule against that it should stay the way it is. Even the Template:Cite page says the parameters are optional. About the # thing, I suppose that it could be change to number to avoid confusion. 月と暁 03:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Sunrise
You were basically right the first time you wrote "Sunrise" in Japanese. Another way to write it is "日出" (nisshutsu). D: I don't understand why that was chosen to mean "Sunrise", because it's comprised of "日" (Hi) which means "day" or "sun" and "出" which means "exit" or "leave". So it would be "月と日出" plus whatever else you want to add in there. moocowsruletalk to moo 01:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
