Hey man it seems you're helping revert vandalism on his page which I'm grateful for as I get a bit sick of it and no-one else seems to watch the page. Thanks again Tony2Times (talk) 20:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Glad to help; it seems the article has been a target of a lot of vandalism lately, most of which seems to have originated from fansites with quite vague or almost non-existent verifiability/fact-checking practices. I know full well how it feels when an article one has worked hard on falls victim to vandalism. I'll be sure to watch over the article as much as I can in the future as well. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 02:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

User:bread Ninja/Music of Ghost in the Shell

hey, i'm currently trying to merge all ghost in the shell album articles together. you think you would want to help out find a few references? it's fine if you don't want to.Bread Ninja (talk) 16:25, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'd love to help. There are quite a few good sources (interviews, reports, reviews and such) which might come in handy. Do you have any particular statements that require referencing in mind? ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 12:56, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

something relating to reception would be good. i've found some, but dont know how to put it in refs. and thanksBread Ninja (talk) 16:09, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

hello

Let me again say that most WMT anime are based on a story from children's classical literature. "Heidi is one of several World Masterpiece Theater titles produced around the "classical children's literature period" (1974-1997), based on classic tales from around the world. Anything that is suitable for children or based on children's literature can be considered Kodomo. "

Sorry for the bad reverts that you do —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairryprincess (talk • contribs) 19:08, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Your recent additions to Kon'nichiwa Anne: Before Green Gables, Princess Sarah and Overpopulation are against Wikipedia's verifiability and notability guidelines. Whether or not a series is kodomo is entirely based upon such a claim being verifiable; for instance, if the series was published in an established kodomo manga publication (such magazines include CoroCoro Comic) or has been identified by a reliable and published source as such. Simply because you feel that it is a "kodomo" series or if you feel that it is supposedly a "children's show" does not warrant it as such; as "kodomo manga" is different from "children's literature" - these are two entirely different terms. Please see WP:MOS-AM and Wikipedia:No original research for further information. Also, in your additions to Overpopulation, you used a forum as a source - please note that forums are not reliable sources and as such cannot be included in Wikipedia articles. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 19:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, similarly one cannot claim that Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and Cowboy Bebop are seinen or "adult" shows, as manga publications of both have in fact been serialized in shōjo magazines. Verifiability trumps all in Wikipedia; one's personal opinion or assessment is of no significance or relevance. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 19:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually you violated the 3 revert rule by reverting the anime articles several times. The Kodomo category implies that such anime can be suitable for children. It helps in determining that such anime do not contain any material that is objectionable. Because of this, many anime such as Heidi were classified as Kodomo before you started applying your personal views in it. --Fairryprincess (talk) 19:39, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Please do not make false assertions, as I have not done so whatsoever. Your edits constitute vandalism, as you have continued to ignore repeated warnings that explain Wikipedia policy. As I have said numerous times, your personal opinion is of no significance: only published, reliable sources can be used to categorize any series under a demographic - this is a Wikipedia policy. See Wikipedia:Verifiability or make a query at WP:AM; your disruptive edits will not be tolerated if you continue in this fashion. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 19:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Those anime have never been titled Drama in any such magazine. The word 子供 kodomo means anything suitable to children. PS discuss on the Talk page without further reverting —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairryprincess (talk • contribs) 19:49, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I have discussed the issue with you on your talk page as well as mine, but it is interesting that you have continued to edit war even after hearing of Wikipedia's policies of verifiability and notability. I have raised the issue at the Anime and Manga WikiProject in view of your constant disruptive edits. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 19:55, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Listen Ganryuu I saw your message about not caring about personal feelings but these aren't just my personal feelings on O-Parts Hunter anime. On december 13 there was supposedly an anime coming out I was excited for about 3 minutes until I noticed there was no other news about it anywhere. I was dissappointed but I had an idea that if I expand on the hoax and get fans excited on eng and Jap pages Seishi might actually notice and decide to make an anime. Unfortunatety the japanese catch on faster than the english. This rumor was originally intended to get fans excited about an anime and actually accomplishing it, but this got way out of hand. I'm currently contacting Stan lee who is currently involved with Bones to make Heroman which is in Production check animenewsnetwork. Since he knows Bones I'm trying to convince him to make an anime I know I shouldn't be spreading rumors but if this'll help get the anime produced it'll have been worth it. Please agree to this deal if I don't get a response or evidence an anime has been confirmed by March 10 you can revert the changes back respond to this soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.115.224 (talk) 03:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

O-Parts Hunter

I not only blocked the IP, but I semi-protected the page for one week. Hopefully that'll stem the tide of IP hoaxers. Blueboy96 23:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; it was starting to get a bit out of hand. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 23:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Blocked the IP for a week this time, and semi-protected Bones (studio). JohnCD (talk) 18:32, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I blocked the IP for six months and semi-protected O-Parts Hunter again. Blueboy96 20:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again; I hope that will do the trick. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 21:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I blocked the IP for a month--no need to semi-protect yet; let's see if he's hopping from computer to computer first. Blueboy96 22:02, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

About your edit in "Animax"; section "Asia"

Hi Ganryuu. I'd like to know why you've reverted my edit in the aforementioned page. Your summary was rv. - no references, no notability, no inclusion into Wikipedia., though I don't understand what the meaning of "rv." is. What references are there about Asia and Latin America which are not for Portugal? If you check the official website, you clearly notice that the new look is being used; if you do a quick search on "Animax Portugal" in YouTube you'll spot a few videos using the new logo, which was implemented on April 26 this year. Also, why no notability? Is it important to reference Asia and Latin America but not Portugal?

I'd like to know what I've done wrong, please, and thank you for your time. GTNS (talk) 15:12, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Specifically, your claim that Portugal was the first region to receive this logo is unverified and unreferenced, and thus the assertion that it must be referred to first is thus brought into question. Youtube is not a reliable source. Also, the notability of specifically referring Portugal into the article is also brought into question, as no other countries are specifically mentioned within the said article. There is absolutely no need to specifically refer certain countries to its usage of a logo, as that hardly is a notable event; in fact, such mention of the logo specifically would be considered unnotable and fancruft. What we can do is just say "used in specific foreign markets", I suppose, as there's no need to mention several countries using one logo (as it seems to be the case for a lot of these countries, not just one in question). ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 15:51, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I still don't understand why you say the fact that Portugal was the first region to get the new logo is unreferenced, even after I posted a link to the network's news article that specifically mentioned April 26 as the date in which the new look was put in place. With a quick Google search, I found that all other countries only got it in May. Also, I specifically referenced Portugal because it's the only way I could do it, as several countries in Asia and Latin America got the new logo; whereas Portugal is currently the only European country in which it has been implemented. Nevertheless, I agree with saying that it's "being used in certain foreign markets" and I can see you've already edited the page. Thanks. GTNS (talk) 03:47, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's exactly the problem: it's being used in far too scattered a range that it's impossible and fancrufty to specifically mention countries. Also, in regards to the "[x] used it first" claim, nowhere in that press release does it mention or certify that Portugal was the first country to use this logo (using Google Search and trying to guess which other companies launched it "first" is akin to original research, rather than a verified, accepted and notable fact). Regardless, this is a very minor matter and not really worth anything more than one sentence in the article. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 03:54, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:UFO-Baby.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:UFO-Baby.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Anime and manga awards

A tag has been placed on Category:Anime and manga awards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
