Chara egg

I have no opinion on whether there should be an article on this band; I simply didn't think that it qualified for speedy deletion. Nyttend (talk) 16:25, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

List of Ōkami Kakushi episodes

You may remember me as the person who hypothesized about the werewolf connection in Ōkami Kakushi. That unfortunate disagreement aside, I would like to request assistance in updating and maintaining the List of Ōkami Kakushi episodes page. I am not a registered administrator and have little experience in creating and maintaining such lists, and as such, my plot summariestend to be overly detailed and in some need of streamlining. However, it seems as though I am the only one visiting and updating that article, which I have noticed has fallen behind. My recent attempt to update it to include Episode 10 resulted in a pretty little tag reading "'paqiwjef'cq

Thanks

Thanks for flipping the switch over XXX_other parameters in the animanga infobox. --KrebMarkt 16:40, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

There were some IPs still edit warning about the use of the fields, So I figured it was better to remove it altogether now that they fields have been deprecated for roughly 5 months. Though I would have preferred to waited another month before removing the fields from the template, but unfortunately, some editors didn't want to get the message —Farix (t | c) 12:42, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Blacklist

Just seen your comment in deletions regarding the addition of mangaupdates to the blacklist. I think it's probably wise for the "large" copyvio sites to be compiled and mass requested.Dandy Sephy (talk) 17:09, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

I've tried that once last year, but it didn't go anywhere. —Farix (t | c) 17:11, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Anime and Manga editing dispute

I don't want to have to report the both of us for Edit warring, let's both assume good faith and try and resolve our differences. If you can point at Misplaced Pages policy pages saying that my edits were not helpful then I will back down. If you cannot refer to Misplaced Pages policy pages I will request Editor assistance and go ahead and report us for Edit warring. If those actions don't lead a resolution then I will request Arbitration. I notice you are a member of WikiProject Anime and Manga, maybe we can refer to them for a Third opinion. --Koolabsol (talk) 13:12, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Your edits weren't helpful at all. They removed several editorial comments, such as the notes about Wikipe-tan's image on Anime and the note about not adding more external links, which were placed there by other editors to deal with ongoing problems. By removing these editorial notes, you are inviting the problems to return. Also, there is no point in removing whitespaces in section headings. The WP:MOS states that the whitespaces are acceptable, and mass removing of these witespaces from numerous articles is completely unexceptionable based on a previous ArbCom ruling. And exactly what is the point of removing Wikipe-tan's image from the portal templates? If optional images were not acceptable, than it would be allowed by the template. Beyond those, the rest of your changes are extremely trivial and there is no reason for you to insist on maintaining them. —Farix (t | c) 13:29, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Policy pages for some things have been provided but in the second half of your paragraph you stray from Misplaced Pages policy into personal opinion. What you have linked to holds up for Anime but not for Manga. I will explain why.

I remove category images as part of my general cleaning. I see not reason not to remove it, same as there is no reason to remove it. Whether you view the changes as minor or not, all contributions made to enhance Misplaced Pages are welcome and wanted. --Koolabsol (talk) 14:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

They do seem to be completely needless edits that don't seem to achieve anything. Your reasoning for removing the image for example is rather questionable. If there is no reason to remove it, don't remove it. Saying there is no reason not to remove it is a pretty weak argument for making unnecessary changes, then you seem confused when someone objects and make it into a bigger deal then it should be. Exactly what are you trying to achieve by suggesting third party intervention for what are meaningless edits in the first place?Dandy Sephy (talk) 15:08, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
