Death Note characters

I did not check the history page and did not see that kana in every name is not needed. Sorry about that! :D I was trying to improve the overall article. I still feel that the kana is necessary. Thanks for your comments in the edit summary. Please accept my apologies for any edits that I made. All the best for the rest of May. Sjones23 20:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I also apologize for any rudeness or sarcasm. I haven't destroyed anything nor have I done anything wrong. Sjones23 20:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, both on the article, David Hoope and its talk page. Once again, please accept my apologies. As you said, David Hoope is a romanized English name (featured in all anime and manga, but the kana doesn't exist, except for the Japanese interwiki website and other Japanese sources). Thanks again for all of your comments and everything you have done for me. :D All the best for the upcoming summer Sjones23 00:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		I know I thanked you way back for your efforts on Death Note, but I didn't give you a barnstar for all the work you've put in with that one, and some other pages that I've seen you edit. So I present to you the Tireless Contributor Barnstar!. 十八 23:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Commas

Ah, I see where the confusion lies. In American English (I gather you are from Canada), commas always go inside the quotation marks. How exactly are these disputes setled on Wikipedia? Obviously there are folks from America, Canada, the UK, ect. Is there a concensus on which type of English is to be used?

And I'm working on posting my argument against Death Note 13's names. I'm looking for certain images to post since I don't have a scanner of my own.

Good day, sir!

About Mikami's Deletion: How come you're sourcing the English manga now? I thought the Japanese version was the precedent.

Volume 10, in the Japanese version, is titled "Deletion." (The inside cover without the dust jacket says, in plain English, "Volume 10: Deletion.").

Inside the book, it says the book is titled "sakujo" in Japanese.

Mikami chants "sakujo."

Therefore, "sakujo"="deletion."

Not to mention the fact that "sakujo" isn't a verb, but a noun (therefore it can't mean "delete.").

Chibi Gohan 18:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hm, I suppose in that respect "delete" makes more sense. I won't fuss about it anymore. : )

Barnes & Noble early manga releases

Dunno why, but I have noticed that B&N likes to ignore the street date on quite a few manga, at least in some stores. I bring this up because I remember a quick thing a month or so back on the Bleach page where I said a volume was out because it was at B&N and you reverted me. Looks like it happened again recently on that page, although I'm not sure if the person who added it got it from B&N. I have already seen Bleach 19 on sale there. Maybe you should add something to the talk page or a hidden inline comment saying that the number of volumes out shouldn't change until the official street date or something... --GhostStalker(Got a present for ya! | Mission Log) 16:46, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Gackt article

I'm sorry, but the article's previous approach towards the artist's year of birth was in no way compliant with WP:V, WP:RS and most importantly, WP:BLP. No matter what "consensus" has previously been reached on the talk page, in order for the previous status quo to be acceptable with regard to Wikipedia policy, one would have to provide reliable sources for the following assertions:

• The artist has made a thorough effort to keep his year of birth a secret. Just not mentioning it on his website hardly qualifies as thorough.
• There are indeed conflicting sources for the year of birth (IMDB, while nice to have for some information, remains a user edited site) and hence a genuine controversy on the matter exists.
• The artist ever made this outlandish Norwegian vampire statement and on more than one occasion, lest it cannot be dismissed as an out-of-context or offhand joke.

Until these sources are provided, the year 1973 is backed by a perfectly acceptable source and on top of that, the article looks a lot less like someone just could not resist the urge to emphasize on just how very mysterious and special the artist at hand really really is.

FFVII spoiler tag

Maybe it would be better if you wait a little while until I finished typing the talk section before reverting. It happens that I am not a strong supporter and thus did nothing like reverting the page immediately, if it happens to be a strong supporter, you might face an edit war, and you were on the 3rd revert(actually, 5th on the overall reverting), thus violating the 3RR rule. It would be more polite to wait for the discussion, if the editor has says so on the comment. Anyhow, just telling you about this, I don't care if spoiler tags are there or not. MythSearcher^talk 15:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The revert I made and the talk page entry is only 5 minutes time lag, it is also due to a server too busy database lock that delayed it for another 2 minutes. Yes, you are right, I can make the talk entry first, that would make more sense, I agree with you, but still, if something like this happens, at least wait for 5~10 minutes before reverting, that makes a lot of difference. At least it minimize the number of edits and talks like this. MythSearcher^talk 17:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Redemption (song)

You might be interested in a discussion on Talk:Redemption (song), since we previously discussed the artist in question (glad we reached a compromise). - Cyrus XIII 13:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

List of Death Note manga

I noticed you seem be in a bit of an edit war, here. Please do bear in mind that we have talk pages for a reason. If other editors are ignoring discussion, they can be sorted out via the three revert rule or the admin noticeboard (or incidents board). WP:TALK is a great link to show newcomers, if they're not aware of how to make good use of talk pages -- nine times in ten, we can't start dispute resolution unless people stop edit warring and start talking. – Luna Santin (talk) 23:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

One, two, three, and four reverts inside 24 hours. I'm afraid edit warring is taken quite seriously. I've blocked you from editing for 24 hours; you can appeal with the {{unblock}} template. – Luna Santin (talk) 17:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

No, I won't contest it. I should have taken it to somewhere else, the talk page or reported the user's actions or something instead of just reverting constantly, though I did try to discuss it on one of the IP talk pages for the anon in question only to have my comment vandalised by that anon, but I do realize I was still in the wrong with what I did, as much as he was, and I need a wikibreak anyway. I shouldn't have let it get to me so much. Thanks, though. :) Nique talk 17:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Plotline of Neon Genesis Evangelion

I've nominated Plotline of Neon Genesis Evangelion, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Plotline of Neon Genesis Evangelion satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plotline of Neon Genesis Evangelion and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Plotline of Neon Genesis Evangelion during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Jay32183 20:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Light's Death

We've long since decided that Matsuda didn't kill him - Why didn't you say so earlier then? Can I get a link to the discussion, I couldn't find a suitable heading in the archives of Talk:List of characters in Death Note either. Thanks --eZio 19:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

As far as I understand, Shinigami(Gods of Death) as their name suggests are beings who take your life (soul) after your lifespan is over and then do whatever they are supposed to do with it. They don't decide when one dies. This is from mythology, not Death Note. So in essence even though a person might be dying say by falling off a cliff or by a gunshot wound, it is the God of Death who actually kills him by taking the soul. This is why I am confused about the whole "Who Killed Light Issue". Now coming to Death Note, I've seen the last episode and the reason of death can be speculative to say the least. No one can prove that the shots fired by Matsuda were fatal or not. I mean how can one? It's an anime. And neither does the anime show Ryuk's note with Light written on it, they show him writing something, but nothing explicit like showing the name actually written. Now this might sound cheesy, but so does the claim of Matsuda not firing at him in critical areas. I'm not trying to prove that Matsuda killed him. I'm merely suggesting it as a possiblity. Don't you think there is the slightest possiblity that Matsuda's shot were fatal, and since Light's lifespan was coming to and end, Ryuk was doing his part of bieng a Shinigami and hence writing his name in his note? -eZio 21:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Apology for edit war

Just wanted to apologize for causing you any mental pain over the edit war, should've just went to the discussion page from the beginning. I understand what you mean with the official release dates being important, just that we think a little different on what was important. Again, just wanted to say sorry for being rude about it, I let my temper get to me, and it's sort of sad it was over such a silly thing. I still think when I edited my Talk Page that was hilarious. On the same topic, I was being very immature, and thus I apologize again. We both looked kinda stupid with what we did, so, how about next time we work together to make wikipedia a better place instead of another edit war, deal?. Kooper113 20:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hellsing screenshots

Regarding this edit, wouldn't the screenshots be a copyvio if they were uploaded to wikipedia, but as a link to an external web site it should have been fine, shouldn't it? -Mike Payne (talk - contribs) 17:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
