License tagging for Image:Vol.10.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Vol.10.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Digimon Systems Update

Thanks for joining the Digimon Systems Update WikiProject!

Basically, being apart of a WP:DIGI means you'll help organize, expand, clean up, and guide Digimon related articles on Wikipedia. You can also help create guidelines and discuss issues about Digimon-related articles. If you're new, don't be afraid about making mistakes, Wikipedia has a lot to take in. Just use common sense and you'll usually be fine.

If you are unsure about something you can always make a note on an article's talk page (the link for each article's talk page is next to the edit this page link, labeled discussion) for asking for help or even just asking for other people's suggestions and feedback.

Remember to not violate copyrights, such as cutting and pasting exact info from other Digimon websites isn't allowed. (You can still use the information, just rewritten.) Cite ALL information you add (where your information came from, such as an anime episode appearance, manga volume, card game info, etc). And remember that Wikipedia isn't a fan-site; the articles should contain information that is useful and interesting to those who have not seen the shows or played the card games.

Again, welcome to the WikiProject. Check out the links on the Project page and familiarize yourself with the guidelines and advice we have so far, and definitely check out the talk page and get involved there as well, with opinions and any ideas you have. And make sure you add the project page and the to do list to your watchlist so you can keep up to date with the Project. -- Ned Scott 00:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Naturally sadie cast.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Naturally sadie cast.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Beet the Vandal Buster (12).jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Beet the Vandal Buster (12).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

AfD nomination of One of Us (Lost)

An editor has nominated One of Us (Lost), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/D.O.C. (Lost) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Your RFA

I de-listed your RFA because the questions are unanswered. Frankly, I'd suggest putting it off for a few more months until you have done some more vandal-fighting or participated in more deletion discussions. A lot of people will oppose you just for having less than 500 edits. In general, you just need more experience around here before becoming an admin. I'd be happy to adopt you to help you avoid blind spots while you get that experience.--Chaser - T 18:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I guess you can delete my RfA, then. Thank you for your kind advice. Katanin 18:36, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry if I discouraged you. I applaud your enthusiasm in wanting to help the project. It's just too early.--Chaser - T 18:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?

Hi Katanin,

You asked how I got the results from the show before it aired. I'm not quite sure what you mean; I watched the live show on CBC, then updated the page accordingly. Perhaps the show is aired at a different time where you live. I like how you switched the order of the contestants so that they are ranked by placing. I hope you're enjoying the show!

Fair use rationale for File:Jeri and Leomon.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jeri and Leomon.jpg.

Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

I have seen your recent contribution to Digimon Xros Wars. I left a note on the explanation stating the difference from the Starmon seen on this show and the Starmon we are more familiar with. As for your categorizing of Minotarumon, Tankmon, and Bulbmon, how are you sure that there wouldn't be more of them to make up the foot soldiers alongside the as-yet-unnamed Digimon in the Bagura Empire Army? Also, the Rhinomon were present in the army with MadLeomon meaning that they are also alternate steeds for the Bagura Empire Army. Rtkat3 (talk) 9:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I will allow this for now. We still have to list the differences between the two Starmon somehow. Rtkat3 (talk) 9:51, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I will support your suggestion. Perhaps as the series progresses, we will learn the names of those unnamed Digimon that are in the Bagura Empire's army. Rtkat3 (talk) 9:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Digimon Xros Wars 2

Even though we will have the other Digimon listed on the Digimon Wiki's Bagura Army page, you could've at least kept the Troopmon on the page. Outside of attacking Cutemon's village, some will be appearing with Tactimon when he shows up in person during Team Xros Heart's fight with AncientVolcamon. Rtkat3 (talk) 5:33, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Of course the Troopmon are like the enemy foot soldiers seen in the Power Rangers series, VR Troopers, Beetleborgs, and the Kamen Rider Series. Rtkat3 (talk) 1:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Digimon Xros Wars 3=

Hi there. I have heard that in the manga, there was a Digimon called MachLeomon who was the Green Zone's general in the Digimon Xros Wars manga. He resembles MadLeomon except that it wields daggers. I was wondering if we should mention something like that because the Digimon Wiki has some info on him. Also, the ranks for Tactimon, Blastmon, and Lilithmon are mentioned to be Commanding Officers.

Disambiguation link notification for November 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Misfits characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blind (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Misfits cast

Hi! The misfits cast section on the misfits page says "cast", not "cast who are in the credits". Plenty of tv shows don't have opening credits with cast members listed, or they list guest cast, we wouldn't not list anyone or list everyone just to suit the titles. Even if that did determine how cast members are classed as main cast, they are listed in the end credits above the recurring characters. Alex is a regular, [1], there are probably loads of other sources saying so, same for Seth, i just don't have the time to dredge them all up. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television#cast information even if Seth and Alex are recurring they should be listed, if the cast list was overly crowded then they should be split in to "main cast" and "recurring cast" sections in the cast section, but with only nine members of cast it wouldn't be worthwhile to split the sections. Please stop being unconstructive with your edits and reverting other people with out looking at guidelines and sources properly. D4nnyw14 (talk) 22:12, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

It seems as if you misinterpreted the article you cited as evidence. "For the main article of a series, it may be appropriate to split up the cast listing by 'Main characters' and 'Recurring characters'" and "When organizing the cast section, please keep in mind that 'main' cast status is determined by the series producers, not by popularity or screen time". News outlets are not necessarily reliable sources for such matters and, per your logic, characters such as Greg, who was listed in the end credits before Seth, should be added as well. The opening credits have consistently been used to denote who the main characters are as determined by contract and production. While the characters of Alex and Abby were reported as being regulars during casting, their treatment since the series began proves that there was clearly a shift in the character's direction. There needs to be some sort of official rule denoting what determines notable cast members and where to draw the line. I have clearly defined what I consider to be noteworthy in the main page and you have not. - Katanin (talk) 23:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
I know, but in place of evidence from producers other sources should be used. Another source is this interview, [2], Matt Stokoe says Alex is "one of the first main characters who’s not in orange, but he’s integral to the storyline". In another interview Matt Strevens was saying viewers would have to wait to see if Abby joines the "main gang" and calls Finn, Jess and Alex the "new gang" and says Alex is "not in orange but is key to the series story arc".[3] I can't check now, but i'm sure Alex and Seth are listed above the "With" bit in the credits, so are above the recurring and guest cast. Even if you ignore this, the section is a "Cast" section not a main cast or a recurring cast, so should inlude those that are given a large emphasis and that includes Seth and Alex, other characters may also fall in to that too, but out of all of them Seth and Alex are the most obvious. They have been treated as regulars since their introductions, appearing consecutively in every episode since they were introduced and given their own storylines, Abby isn't introduced until next week either.

You may not be bothered to check but I was and Seth is very clearly stated below the "with" (and sometimes below the "and") in the closing credits. The page you linked earlier and which I quoted in my previous message stated that screen time has nothing to do with main characters. By your logic, characters such as Greg and Shawn, who consistently appeared in every episode during their respective series, should be added to the main cast too. I have outlined a strict guideline as to whom should be in the main cast list on the front page in order to stop debates like this from happening. Your method for whom is to be added to the list is arbitrary and goes against the rules set out by the very article you showed me. What we should do is have an official vote take place on the Misfits talk page in order to settle this instead of continuing this edit war. - Katanin (talk) 00:32, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
No, i don't have the dvds handy and 4OD won't work, not that i couldn't be bothered to check. I did bother to find several sources from official members of production, which you ignored. I was also saying characters like Shaun, Greg and Nikki are important enough to be considered main cast, although they were never part of the main group and never got anywhere near as much screen time as Seth or Alex, or their own storyline but the guidelines also state "by the series producers", which is where Matt Stokoke is getting his information from and Matt Strevens is producer and saying they are the "main gang". Your guidelines are exactly that, YOUR guidelines, you can't just decide that the only way to denote main or starring cast is through the opening credits, we can't do that for many tv shows and it doesn't work in this case either. D4nnyw14 (talk) 00:43, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Again, it has nothing to do with screen time. The guidelines that I am choosing to follow are those that are followed by many other TV shows on Wikipedia. The guidelines that you are outlining are your own and are arbitrary. It's not just my decision, it's a procedure that has been used throughout countless numbers of television shows on Wikipedia for years. You are the one who is straying from the precedent, by adding characters who are not in the main cast without denoting their status. - Katanin (talk) 00:50, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
No i am not. No where in the guidelines does it state "main cast is completely denoted by opening credits". For example, in Torchwood Indira Varma was credited in the opening titles of episode 1 but never again, she isn't included in the cast section even though she appeared in the titles, other tv shows, such as Skins, never list cast in the opening titles but use common sense and secondary sources to tell who are the main cast. Screen time is obviously important, you can't ignore that, it is a contributing factor in whether somebody is a main cast member or not, you can't have a main cast member who makes one fleeting appearance. I am not outlining any of my own guidelines, i'm using common sense. Other articles use common sense too. The opening titles do not correctly reflect the character's status - i have provided other sources from production members who say they are regulars and from secondary sources, you have not provided any sources saying they are recurring cast or not regular cast, you are basing the whole concept on a thirty second opening sequence.

Blood vs. Water

I'm well aware of how things have gone historically on the season pages. But "it's always been that way" doesn't mean it's still necessarily the best way. I inserted those last names because it's the first time in the article we're introduced to those names. For fans like myself (perhaps like you) we know right away who Laura M or Tyson or Gervase are. But for somebody who doesn't know anything about the season or about any of them, it would be beneficial for the first and last name of the castaway to be written out the first time they appear in each section. That's what I've done in the summary and in the episode descriptions. Notice I didn't repeatedly add the last names in throughout the remainder of each section. But the first time somebody's introduced, having their last name helps identify them to unfamiliar readers.

As for the Ciera voting Laura out note, I felt that was important. On a season where players compete against their loved ones and the most obvious question of the season would be "will any player be willing to vote out their loved one?" I felt a small note that it did happen would be a key point in the summary. I can see where it would look like trivial information though, so I understand the removal. If you feel strongly enough that it shouldn't be there, I won't add it back.

I'm trying to get some thoughts together to improve all of the Survivor seasons articles. I've opened a discussion about a whole load of topics on Talk:Survivor (U.S. TV series) to not such an overwhelming amount of responses. This situation here leads me to believe that I'm going to find difficulties cracking open new possibilities for improvement on these articles due to the attachment everyone has developed since the articles have all been the same for years. Gloss • talk 22:07, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate your message. I understand your point regarding the summary, maybe inclusion of surnames would be helpful provided they were done sparingly and simply, as you did in the BvW article before my reversion. Regarding Ciera voting out Laura, it ultimately didn't impact the season and I felt it wasn't necessary. Before I began editing the summary sections (about a year ago), they were incredibly detailed - some even longer than the episode summaries themselves - and I felt that the sections were to be a streamlined explanation of major events that happened throughout the season that ultimately resulted in the winner's victory. In terms of me feeling strongly, I'm a pretty malleable editor, but my opinion is that Ciera voting out her mom is much like Brandon Hantz's expulsion from Caramoan: a unique moment hyped up for ratings purposes that ultimately had little impact on the season as a whole, thus not meriting inclusion in the summary.
I will definitely participate in your discussion on the talk page. Kudos for starting it, it's greatly appreciated. Best, Katanin (talk) 21:03, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
I do understand your reasoning on the Ciera/Laura line, so I have no problem leaving it off. Do you have any issues with the surnames being added back in the way I had it? (only the first time it appears in the article... not counting the lead) because if not I'll go ahead and re-add them. I look forward to your help in the future, thanks!

Looking for your opinion

Over at Survivor: All-Stars#Voting history, I tried a change where I moved the votes to it's own row right underneath the eliminated contestants' names. Very minor move. The goal was to eliminate the repetition of the word "votes" in an effort to save space and fit the entire table on the page. What are your thoughts on this? Gloss • talk 06:33, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

@Gloss: I was initially skeptical but can understand its function, especially in the business of saving space. It could be a bit weird to mentally navigate (such as "why are there all these fractions again?") but I can see how it works, although I'm not particularly passionate either way. - Katanin (talk) 06:40, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Valid point, either way works. The current version saves space, the other version may cause less confusion. Hm. Gloss • talk 06:43, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Survivor-related discussion

Hi there! I've noticed you're a regular contributor to Survivor articles, so I thought I'd let you know about a proposal I've made over at Talk: Survivor (U.S. TV series). I'd love to have your input about it! Survivorfan1995 (talk) 02:59, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

First episode

I've been mis-reading this whole time, so my apologies. I thought the user who placed those tables there had included the TVGN preview episode (I didn't really notice the date), so that's why I placed that description there. Sorry for the confusion. Gloss • talk 19:47, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

No worries. - Katanin (talk) 23:21, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

  Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Bridge and tunnel, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Hi

How do you know that it is a joke? 108.162.157.141 (talk) 22:58, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

@108.162.157.141: I know it's a joke because I'm a frequent reader of Dalton Ross' recaps and have gotten to understand his style and sense of humour. If you read the rest of the sentence, he says that the bag "was full of only farts and broken dreams." Does that sound real to you? - Katanin (talk) 00:33, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
I read all of his recaps as well. What is inside his bag is definitely a joke but I think the part that he searched his bag was not a joke. 108.162.157.141 (talk) 01:28, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
@108.162.157.141: I'm positive that the whole line is a joke. Even if it isn't, it was omitted from the episode anyway and thus is unimportant to the events in the episode, so wouldn't warrant mention in the recap. - Katanin (talk) 18:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

January 2015

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Survivor: Pearl Islands. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Amazing Race 26, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Olympic.
