Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:25, 23 March 2007

Hello Ranma9617 and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Misplaced Pages:Simplified Ruleset
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• Remember Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Seiyuu

Just a quick heads up on a bunch of recent edits I made to the individual seiyuu articles, a lot of which were started by you. I recently changed most of them in order for them to appear in Category:Seiyuu in alphabetical order by family name. For maintaining that order, it might be a good idea to put the sort key directly into any new articles you create in the future. For example ] (don't worry about that specific article, though; I already took care of it). Thanks! --MarkSweep 20:28, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Misplaced Pages's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Category:Seiyu

• Thanks for all your help in moving the seiyū articles from the old category. I just started editing again, and there were only a few articles left to move! Josh 04:02, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

Tamao Hayashi

I was just looking at this article and trying to decide whether it met the speedy deletion critera when you removed the speedy notice. You should not have removed the notice as you were the author of the article. I will leave the notice off as I think it just barely fails to qualify as a candidate for speedy delete. You could improve the artice, by for example mentioning that this artist was a voice on Crayon Shin-chan. I can't add this as easily as I'm not sure what sex they are, so I don't know whether to use he or she.-gadfium 02:18, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

InuYasha Manga Chapters

Yo:

i would appreciate it if you can tell me where you found the information on the current chapter of InuYasha released through manga. Through a website? or you subscribe to the manga in Japanese? ( !!! ) lol

Thanks. LG-犬夜叉 08:27, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the link...very useful. But wouldn't it be illegal to put such a detailed description of what happens in the manga on the Internet? lol but it's nevertheless good for the fans outside of Japan. Cheers~ LG-犬夜叉 03:57, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)

seiyu stubs

good work on the seiyu; quick question: is the actor-stub template appropriate to seiyu? more appropriate than the bio-stub?Nateji77 12:57, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Tessaiga

Hi. I have posted a request to revisit this topic at Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related_articles). Thanks. Your input will be appreciated. LG-犬夜叉 09:35, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

Using macrons

I noticed you were having a frustrating time on the Kappei Yamaguchi page. Have you used the box that appears below the "Save page", "Show preview", and "Show changes" buttons? It's full of the most common macronned characters. All you have to do to use them is place your cursor in the edit box where you wish the macronned character to appear, and then click on the appropriate macronned character. Hope that helps. (^_^) --日本穣 07:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Userbox Public Transit

According to Misplaced Pages:The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: {{User:Olve/Userboxes/Public transport}} (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

re:Puyo Pop Fever 2

You might not have detected it, but edits made by User:24.205.31.88(blocked numerous times for introducing incorrect info to articles) directly before your minor edit was vandailistic nonsense which I since reverted...Ranma9617 01:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

My bot is not a vandalism bot. It only updates cleanup tags. It did that...quite well. I'm not really sure what you think I should do. Alphachimpbot 01:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

If your investigations have yielded any concrete evidence, I would be very pleased to hear it, as so far all I have heard are unsubstantiated allegations. Tyrenius 04:10, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Steely Dan

I know this could be considered spamming, but I couldn't help noticing that you have a Steely Dan userbox. I am trying to start a Steely Dan WikiProject and was just wondering if you were interested. Come to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Steely_Dan to sign up and visit the WikiProject-to-be's temporary page here. NauticaShades 16:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

WHDH

Thanks for catching that vandalism on the WHDH page. That user has done this before on numerous pages and under 4 IP addresses that I know of....68.162.247.229, 141.154.10.193, 68.160.165.46, and 68.162.243.40, all these IPs are out of Verizon of Boston. I appericate your help and ask you to keep an eye on the Boston stations, among others, as those are the ones he/she hits the most. Thanks again....SVRTVDude 18:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up on the new IP address. I have that one on my watchlist too. I wonder if we should let Verizon know as well, since they could track down the account via the IP address and could shut them down that way. Just a thought there. I will keep an eye on the new IP. Thanks again:) - SVRTVDude 07:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I added some comments to the page...I hope they help. I will keep that on my watchlist and keep an eye on all the TV pages for any retaliation (sp) for it. - SVRTVDude 08:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
