== Adding One Piece to Highest-Grossing Franchises ==

Hello! As you could probably tell, I'm here to add the One Piece franchise to the list of highest-grossing franchises, but I wasn't really sure how. In 2024, there are plenty of sources that suggest One Piece should be somewhere on this list (most notably in the top 30 somewhere), and I tried to do it but I don't think my html skills are up to snuff anymore sadly. I was wondering if someone with more experience could either help me do it or add it themselves? Here are some of the sources that suggest One Piece should be here:

I wouldn't be surprised to find that they both work in the same place - no prizes for guessing where - but I think perhaps there may be grounds to reconsider your indefblock? It seems to me that it's more a case of inexperience than malice; the second account was only used once, to post a talk page question asking for advice, and I don't believe sockpuppetry is involved.

== Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research ==
== Question ? ==


Hello,
Pure vandals get 4 chances (if not more) before any action is taken. They get warnings on their talk page, they finally they get disciplined. I am a vandal fighter. I have an over 18000 edits since April and I get no warning what so ever. A user puts profanity on my talk page, I report him and you remove access to Huggle for a week. The user made no attempt to show his citation, he jumps on my talk page with this ] and I get punished. I ask once again for you to reverse your decision regarding Huggle. --] (]) 17:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].
== ] ==


Take the survey ''''''.
Neil: you just drove away one of our best vandal-fighters. CanadianLinuxUser was easily ''<u>twice</u>'' as fast as I am, and when we were both on huggle, I never saw him make ''any'' reverts that I wouldn't have made. I fought vandals for two ''months'' more than he did and look at where he is on . It is impossible make that many reports to AIV without nearly 100% being accurate. If they weren't accurate, the user would be blocked for disruption.


Kind Regards,
Why did you remove huggle from him for a ''week'' for '']?'' 24 or 31 hours, maybe, but a ''week?'' You may not fight vandals a lot, but I see stuff like that every time I'm on, and 99.999% of the time, it turns out to be false. Removing huggle from him for a week because of that seems to be more than a little vindicative on your part, but I may be reading into your comment a tone that was not intended.


]
I'm sorry, but you ''really'' need to count your losses before you act. ] left after someone blocked him for "breaking the 3RR rule" when he was actually reverting a vandal. Seriously, you do ''not'' know how good CLU was. As I said before, CLU was one of the best vandal-fighters I have ever seen. His absence will create a massive hole that all the rest of us rank-and-file people will have to fill. ]]] 17:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

:Numerous people have left messages on CLU's talk page encouraging him to stick around. I think it would be wise for you to do the same. His ] says he's retired.

When no other options are available, a ban became the only option, as there seems to be no other way of addressing his editing behaviour. Remember that indefinite does not mean permanent, and should he agree to work more constructively with others, this block can be revisited.

I noted your comment regarding the lumping of quotes into footnotes at the AN/I board and wanted to let you know there is a RfC on the Borden talk page at this time regarding this and some other issues. I thought you might want to lend your opinion, as it seems we are garnering a consensus, for this article at least, on the use of the quotes. Thanks. ] (]) 23:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

== Hi ==

struck me as rather inflammatory. I know what it's like when reading opposes one disagrees with, but upsetting a bunch of editors isn't going to help Avruch, especially if his RfA itself becomes a drama scene. I suggest you tone it down... --] (]) 10:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

== Domestic turkey article ==

Can you please check your facts before you make changes or deletions? Just because you think something is garbage, or you prefer "pets" to "companion animals" doesn't mean that the sources you are quoting support this, or that you are correct. Arbitrary changes to support your POV are simply POV and not acceptable. Thanks ] (]) 13:45, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Our '''turkey adoption process''' resembles those of '''companion animal shelters''' that match cats and dogs with caring and responsible adopters," said Leanne Cronquist, Farm Sanctuary's California shelter manager. "We carefully screen all our applicants and ensure they are committed to providing lifelong sanctuary for their new '''companions'''. After all, turkeys are bright, social and sensitive animals who-like cats and dogs-deserve the very best in life." {http://www.farmsanctuary.org/mediacenter/2007/pr_turkey_express_CA.html} ph#2

It sounds to me that if people are providing their turkey '''companions''' sanctuary, that a pet turkey is refered to as a '''companion'''. The line in the article clearly says that Farm Sanctuary '''says'''...and Farm Sanctuary says '''companion animal'''. ] (]) 14:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

==Ibiza question==
Do you think the infobox is okay the way it is currently? I ask, because you and I have butted heads on the issue of cn tags before in the article, and because I do respect your opinion (though I disagree with it). I think the image of the flag is pretty huge, and pretty much dominates the entire infobox. As the infobox pretty much sets it up that way, I was thinkng that perhaps, as it is as much a administrative division of Spain that, say ] or ] is, wouldn't it be better to use the infobox instead? I understand that it is in fact an island where the aforementioned examples are not, but it would seem pretty clear that the article shouldn't differentiate between th other admin districts of Spain. Especially when we already have the in wiki-commons. I would like to change the infobox, but not having done so before, I was wondering if - assuming you have no major disagreement with the substitution - you could kind of keep an eye on the article while I do so, and catch any major cock-up I may make. I would like to expand my wiki-knowledge about how to do these sorts of things. I will wait to hear back from you. - ] ] 18:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

::Sorry, I did look at this yesterday then promptly forgot to reply. I agree the autonomous community infobox would work better. The only real difference is the flag would become smaller and the coat of arms would be included, which makes sense to me. ] ] 13:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear Neil, I'm replying to your following comment :

Articles you created, such as Nuclear micro-battery, CIFMS and Knowledge Acquisition and Documentation Structuring, and images such as Image:MRP2.jpg are copyright violations. Do not steal content from others and add it to Misplaced Pages again, or your account will be indefinitely blocked. Neıl 龱 14:25, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

You need to know the reference of the four articles you deleted and the picture have been sourced from y OWN WORK (4 books've written between 1989 and 2007:

*Nanocomputers & Swarm Intelligence, John Wiley-ISTE, London 2008, ISBN 9781847040022
*Inventer l'ordinateur du XXI° siècle, Hermes Science Publishing, London 2006, ISBN 2746215160
*Principles of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, John Wiley, New York, 1992, ISBN 047193450X
*Les nouvelles perspectives de la production, Dunod 1990, ISBN 9782040198206

I am theauthor of the four abovementioned books and have the permission of the publisher for those type of excerpt. (

I've mentionned them in the reference section the reference section. I think I've clearly mentionned the pages of the book in the bibliography section).

So please be so kind and restore the deleted articles.

Adding One Piece to Highest-Grossing Franchises

Hello! As you could probably tell, I'm here to add the One Piece franchise to the list of highest-grossing franchises, but I wasn't really sure how. In 2024, there are plenty of sources that suggest One Piece should be somewhere on this list (most notably in the top 30 somewhere), and I tried to do it but I don't think my html skills are up to snuff anymore sadly. I was wondering if someone with more experience could either help me do it or add it themselves? Here are some of the sources that suggest One Piece should be here: https://www.33rdsquare.com/one-pieces-total-franchise-value-is-estimated-at-20-5-billion-as-of-2023/
