December 2011 edit

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Cherokee freedmen controversy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. This was not copy editing, so "c/e" was not a valid reason for removal. -Uyvsdi (talk) 22:22, 17 December 2011 (UTC)UyvsdiReply

1. Images removed by ImageRemovalBot. Warranted removal of picture template as there are no pictures there anymore.
2. Lead was getting bloated with size, information that didn't match what was said in cites (January 14, 2011 ruling, not "2007 reinstatement", was the catalyst of August ruling. Stated in article and in cite) and information that has long been updated in main article (it's not "The Cherokee Election Commission is working to provide ways for the Freedmen to vote in the scheduled special election for Principal Chief." when an agreement was already made). Shortened lead. Made sentence encompassing all legal proceedings as listing every detail made lead bigger.
3. "Copy editing" is exactly what I did. Trimming a lead is valid last time I checked. Stormshadows00 (talk) 07:47, 18 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Rankin/Bass' non-anime projects (with anime sound effects) edit

I'm sorry about my edits in the past. I'd like to understand that Rankin/Bass, a defunct New York-based company, allowed the animation of ThunderCats, SilverHawks and The Comic Strip to be done overseas at Pacific Animation Corporation in Tokyo, Japan, not necessarily making them American/Japanese co-productions. They may be American productions that looked anime, but there was one thing that is quite deceiving to us all. It turns out that in addition of traditional animation by the Japanese studios, these four Rankin/Bass TV series even have almost a lot of anime sound effects by either Fizz Sound Creation, Swara Productions, or Anime Sound Production, three companies responsible for their sound works in the Japanese entertainment industry including anime (the country's domestic animation) and tokusatsu (special effects usually focusing on superheroes and monsters). DIC's The Care Bears and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors have those same sounds as well. So, if all American (North and South), European, Australian and Asian (including China, Korea and the Philippines) production companies outsource their animation works to the Japanese studios, why can't they have recorded anime sound effects? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.57.136 (talk) 16:52, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Western animated films and television programs with Japanese animation and sound effects edit

ThunderCats (1985–89), SilverHawks and The Comic Strip, three television series from Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment in New York, New York, may have their respective animation outsourced to Pacific Animation Corporation in Tokyo, Japan, then HOW come they use sound effects from there?! By listening closely with my ears and translating from Japanese to English using Google Translate, I easily recognize those recorded sounds, for they were already provided by Fizz Sound Creation (best known for the sound effects in Toei Animation's Dragon Ball anime series), the E&M Planning Center, Swara Productions, or Anime Sound Production. Other examples shows that I can hear Fizz Sound's effects on the Festival of Family Classics episode Robin Hood (1973), E&M sound engineer Kiyoshi Ohira's effects on The Last Unicorn (1982) where the Toho Company's effects of monster roars - including Godzilla's - can be heard, just like in The Return of the King (1979/80), and even Shizuo Kurahashi, Akiko Muto and Katsuhiro Nakano's effects from Sound Box on Santa, Baby (2001), with the Aoi Studio as one of its recording studio facilities.

If Rankin/Bass can do it, then why CAN'T all of America's other studios duplicate the recorded sound effects from Japan, just in case their film and TV projects were animated in the same Asian country?! This is our anime-like frustration with our blood veins forming the letter X! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.46.130 (talk) 03:57, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for April 5 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Yasuke (anime), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page African. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sengoku period edit

This is actually something of a controversial issue, but most Japanese historians and encyclopedia articles seem to say the "Sengoku" period lasted around a century from Onin War to the downfall of Ashikaga shogunate (or some such event instigated by Nobunaga around 1570). A minority view extends it to the Battle of Sekigahara or even the siege of Osaka Castle. English Wikipedia is currently in line with this minority view because our article on the topic was written back in the bad old days based on dubious pop culture sources that were not cited in the actual article. I intend to fix that in the near future, but it should be a priority to not needlessly cite the minority view in articles on American web series produced in the 2020s.

I think I should probably apologize. My edit to the article yesterday was not meant as a personal attack on you (I didn't go into the page history to see who added what, when), but since it seems my actions caused some offense, I am sorry. Can we move past this and discuss improvements to the article? Hijiri 88 (やや) 08:29, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
