Thumbs up on Naruto pages work

Two big thumbs-up on the work you've done with the Naruto pages. I've been looking for detailed resources like this for a couple of months now, and it was a very pleasant surprise to stumble across them on Misplaced Pages. Justin Bacon 20:44, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hebrew Misplaced Pages

Hi AceMyth, if you are an Israeli (military compulsory service) or speak Hebrew, and you have time, what about joining the Hebrew Misplaced Pages, it's a great challenge. ^^ Dod1 02:34, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Curious about image copyright

Just curious about the rights to image:narutosplash.jpg. Misplaced Pages needs to know this information to prevent attacks against itself from copyright holders. Please note the copyright on the image page. Sorry to be such a downer. I do love the TV series though! — Xoder | Talk 18:30, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC)

I believe this falls under fair use, as it complies with three of the factors taken into consideration when assessing whether a use is "fair" or not-

1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; /(the latter)/

3.the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; /(one drawn instance of the characters from a whole series)/

and

4.the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. /(absolutely zilch)/.

The only conflicting condition being #2, the work being of a creative nature, puts the inclusion of this picture- methinks- on the same level as quoting a key sentence from a book in a review. This, and the information the picture contains being so vital for comprehending the subject, makes me believe it is in the best interest of Misplaced Pages for the picture to stay. AceMyth 19:54, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I agree with you and am going to copy/paste this discussion to the discussion page on the image's talk page itself — Xoder | Talk 22:50, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC)

Replacing Naruto names to Viz translations

Hi! I'm replacing several "names" in the Naruto articles with those used in the Shonen Jump magazine, and the wapuro style used there will give way to the circumflexes seen in Shonen Jump. WhisperToMe 14:42, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Regarding Viz' "Evil Eye" - I saw the word used in the English language to describe a "bad" eye or an eye that is perceived as having evil powers. Viz used the same translation for Hiei's "Jagan" in YuYu Hakusho. WhisperToMe 23:30, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Have they released any more volumes referring to the Byakugan? Because if they did and they're actually going to translate it as "Evil Eye" all the way I can't wait to see Kakashi go on an all-out lecture about the scientific properties of the Evil Eye =P --AceMyth 23:50, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

So far, VIZ has not mentioned the Byakugan after the one episode, but since Hiei's Jagan is translated as such too, they might use "Evil Eye" again. WhisperToMe 22:56, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Misplaced Pages fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

When talking about books in English

When referring to literature in English, one has to always use present tense. WhisperToMe 18:25, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Gotcha. --AceMyth

Naruto anime licensed

ShoPro, which is merging with VIZ, LLC, got the rights to Naruto (see http://www.animeondvd.com/news/pr.php?pr_view=509) - WhisperToMe 23:39, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Evil Eye

Viz now has Hinata say "Byakugan! Evil Eye!" - WhisperToMe 04:04, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Okay... now I'm just freaking CONFUSED. --AceMyth 16:24, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Regarding Naruto Pages

Great idea ^_^ However we should be careful not to obscure any of the relations between the characters, like Clan relations and such. There is also the question as to what exactly qualifies as a major character. E.g. is Hiashi a character worthy of his own page? and what about Shikaku?
Anyway, I fully support your idea, and I'd be glad to help ^_^
--JadziaLover 2 July 2005 22:43 (UTC)

Regarding Half Blood Prince Mistakes revert

Hello AceMyth, like to talk to you about 05:01, 20 July 2005 AceMyth (Rv. 1. No. 2. This sort of thing belongs on the talk page.) What is there to talk about with 'Mistakes' section? --takagawa-kun 19:05, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Sorry clarification, what seems to be the problem with the 'Mistakes' changes. --takagawa-kun 19:13, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Somebody wrote "Can anybody post HBP excerpts from chapters 1 through 4?", or something like that, in all caps, right at the "Mistakes" section. So I removed it, saying that that sort of question belonged on the talk page. --AceMyth 19:59, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Just had to comment: I think you meant third person /omniscient/. :P

Doh! --Deathphoenix 18:52, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Great edit on Severus Snape

I just saw this, and I'm quite impressed. I think it sums up the situation without undue analysis, and it's just a nice bit of writing. Friday 23:15, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Cheers! --AceMyth 00:38, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Gekko Hayate from Naruto

I noticed that you removed my edit on the page Characters of Naruto were I added Gekko Hayate to the secondary charcters catagory. I agree with you that he isn't important enough but he dose have his own page here: Gekko Hayate. That is the only reason why I added him. Please share with me your opinion on this topic. --SwordKirby537 00:13, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

You could have him as an entry in the Characters of Naruto page that would say "see separate article". --AceMyth 01:24, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Church in Nazareth

Hi AceMyth

I found you in the List of Wikipedians in Israel. You could help me on an article about de:Ferdinand Stadler, who built a protestant (german source says evangelisch) church for a mission in Nazareth. The church opened its doors 1st of October 1871. Could you maybe find out what happened to this church and perhaps take a photo? I know Tel Aviv is not so close to Nazareth, but you might probably know someone who lives there. It would be really great to find out since its a gap in Stadlers list of works. The church should be the same style as , Gothic Revival architecture. Thanks in advance. --Ikiwaner 23:27, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. With this drawing of the church it should be much easier to identyfy. Note the drawing is about 130 years old, things might have changed a lot! --Ikiwaner 18:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Israeli Wikipedians

You were listed on the Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians/Israel page as living in or being associated with Israel. As part of the Misplaced Pages:User categorisation project, these lists are being replaced with user categories. If you would like to add yourself to the category that is replacing the page, please visit Category:Israeli Wikipedians for instructions. —Simetrical (talk) 19:04, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Crazy changes by Gilgamesh

Unfortunately, User:Gilgamesh is now imposing his own views by changing the transliterated Hebrew names of articles with redirects to unreadable Hebrew names and fonts, as if his criteria are the only ones to reckon with, when there are in fact several. My computer, as I am sure many others' as well, does not pick up his type of fonts, and thus he is messing up articles such as Safed, Hadera, Holon, Afula, Arad, Israel and many others defacing them and making them unreadable on the web. He is going to DESTROY the normal usage of Misplaced Pages's Hebrew transliterations to satisfy his own needs without there being any consensus. Common usages are being thrown out in favor of obscure and pedantic academic usages familiar to only a handful of unkown academics. He should be called upon to stop BEFORE he rushes to do further damage without any consensus being reached. All his changes should therefore be reverted. See all his recent contributions via: http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/Gilgamesh I thank you for your interest, and urge all readers here to act. IZAK 04:56, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hebrew naming conventions

At the present time there is a serious discussion taking place, aiming at some consensus that will result in "official" Misplaced Pages guidelines about how Hebrew should be used and written in Misplaced Pages articles. Because of your past or ongoing interest in these type of articles with Hebrew words in them, your attention is called to Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (Hebrew) TO MAKE YOUR VIEWS KNOWN AND TO ADD TO THE DISCUSSION BEFORE THE "DOORS ARE SHUT" PLEASE SEE THE RELATED DISCUSSION PAGE AT Misplaced Pages talk:Naming conventions (Hebrew) Thank you! IZAK 04:56, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hebrew Alphabet

I have rewritten the articles on all the Hebrew letters here and before I replace the pages, your input would be appreciated. Feel free to comment on the talk page or edit the page directly. Thanks! Sputnikcccp 16:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Happy Hanuka

I saw your message and, same to you :D too bad the IDF doesn't consider Hanuka a real holiday huh :( -- Ynhockey 10:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

The Game

I just lost the game.Sumthingweird 13:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

That's ok, it restarts in thirty minutes. I'm in the middle of telling all the game players on Misplaced Pages that I lost, which is a big task. Perhaps we could figure out some automated way of doing it. Sumthingweird 13:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but it should alert all the users instantly too, for example by sending an automatic email. But it would be cool to get it working on Misplaced Pages too - for example a bot that automatically alerts everyone in the category Category:The Game players. Unfortunately I don't have the programming skill to do that. Sumthingweird 13:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Proposal on Notability

Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Misplaced Pages:Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles. Please help us make this successful! Also note the proposal Misplaced Pages:Importance is a deletionist proposla that seeks to officially introduce notabiltiy for the first time. Make sure this is defeated! --Ephilei 04:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for edit

Althought we are decidedly on different sides of the POV regarding the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, I must say your editing the page in the "Targeting Civilian Areas" section to two subsections was great. Its a great NPOV edit, and restores my wanning hope for a real WP:PERFECT article. If someone in the frontlines can still understand why we have NPOV here, it shows that those who dont are simply not trying hard enough! Am giving you a barnstar soon...--Cerejota 13:58, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I made this edit because I felt that NPoV is about letting each side have its say, and having both sides having their say simultaneously would soon turn into a sea of "however"s and "but X points out that"s and "Y responded that"s, with too powerful a PoV slant dictated by who gets the last word. --AceMyth

I fully agree, and thats why you get a barnstar.--Cerejota 14:19, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

If you retreive the Haifa Picture, please let me know the link on my Talk Page. Thanks. --Deenoe 16:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Look I want to get somethings clear

I originally thouhgt you called me a hate addict, but you didn't...

Forgive me if I have upset you. There will be day when this is over, but there much be justice. There was a time when Palestine was peaceful and if that Palestine still existed it would have probably been similar to Lebanon; Druzui, Jews, Muslims, and Christians living together in harmony. In fact may I point that the original Jewish population, the Palestinian Jews wrote letters begging the UN not to implement (Israel would have been created regardless, but the UN only served to legitimize it; it was as it still is a body serving elite interests) the creation of a so-called Jewish state--there are many reeason for their pleas. I have my whole life been someone who has angered both sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict and many other things, although it may not seem so. I know that Israeli does not mean Jew or Zionist or vice-versa.

Once again, I am sorry. Some were born into this, but they on both sides have to know that they are pawns and mislead, by something that goes beyond the existance of ISrael, something so sinister and so real, something that connects all history in an interlinked motion.

I am not a hate addict, I am not an Arab, I am someone who loses everytime Israelis or Arabs are hurt or killed. I too am a human being like yourself. I mean this in the politest way possible and have to say it; No one should die. I am outraged to see civilians and fighters day. All life is sacred, but there is one thing I must also point out...that Israel, the state was created under alterior motives and mislead much of the world's Jewry into beleiving that that was the only place where they would be safe. This was and as you can see is not true. And who is victimized, the regular people in multiple ways.

You have me wrong. I am someone who supports the rights of the Israeli people, but I also know how they are being used for cattle, and beleive me when I say I know.

Do you know who helped illeminate the majority of rabbis in Europe? Reserach it. It was not the Nazis. Do you know that the majority of the Rabbis in Europe were against the creation of a Jewish state and beleived according to the Holy Talmud/Torah to be against the will of God, until the Messiah comes? Even the Holy Quran says in the section, 'the Children of Israel,' that Gid had picked the Children of Israel with the highest favour above all nations but they turned their backs on God and their covenent. This is a motif for the Holy Torah, the Holy Bible, and the Holy Quran. Those were in exodus have forgotten what it was like and are collectively as an entity behind one the greatest exodus in the world.

Is the Holy Land really material or is it something much more? It seems that the delights of this world have fooled many to fight for land, but let us also get something straight here their is a difference with fighting for land and fighting for your rights.

The people in this region are all being sucked in and blinded by a black hole of hate and anger. Have you ever thought of how people, Israelis, Lebanese, etc. are all being de-humanized and the psychological warp that has been started?

I am not a hate filled person, but I also cannot allow these lies to be passed as fact. Look at the attempts to involve and smear Iran's name in this conflict. This was not about two Israeli troops.

Everyone must do what they think and know what they think is right. You have brought out your hand and stretched to me and I thank you for this. WHoever you are I will help you; remember this name and these things; Benjamin H. Freedman, the Balfour Declaration (including the date), Norman Dodd, the modern Banking System, 'the financial links between the West, Nazi Germany, and the Communists,' the concept of world government, and Michel Chossodovsky.

Thank you

Humour

I must let you know that your humorous comments throughout Talk:2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict have made my editing that much more enjoyable . Cheers, Tewfik 05:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Listen, Friend, no one will drive out of your land

Listen to me my friend; I must apologize to you again. Those who use to preach to the masses 'we will push Israel into the sea' are gone. The Holy Torah says 'divide not God's land.' These borders--all of them--are man made, but let the original inhabbitants come back. History is a test as is life; we are all the result of conquered nations and no one can claim that anything was truly theirs. We must share this world; it was given to us. The Temple Mount is yours as much as anyone elses. You and all inhabbitants should stay, but the political entity that is Israel as we know it must go. This is not a physical entity that must go, but an established invisiable thing. It is this that must be replaced. There must be internal change too. This is how the Israeli people will be saved. It is these people that were suppose to be "a light unto the nations," not to let themselves and their names be hijacked for pain and suffering by a few who do not care for the people of Israel or Gaza and the world.

There must be new state for you and for those who yearn to return. If this state is created and with justice; it will be the nucleaus of a union that will envelope the whole Middle East. Look at the European peoples, they have realized that they are one; although the hopes of these people is being manipulated by those in power that have different interests and motivations for creating the E.U.

I once reminded a friend who had lost faith and was only Jewish in name who beleived that there would never be any union of the peoples of the Middle East and that Israelis stood alone that the menorah was the sign of a few who seemed to be standing alone and only with their faith, convictions, and God; these few stood against tyranny and fought for justice. This is why the Menorah is with us; this is what the menorah represents, this is an idea being forgotten. Today, to me it is those who call themselves Hezbollah (a name I would never take on myself), maybe in a misguided way, are the ones fighting against injustice of a state and a movement it represnts that are not the interests of the Israeli people. This hope and conviction is what the Israeli people should hold onto.

This event has created animosity to such an extent that their will be a broader war that the peoples of the world will be suckered into and has been planned for years. And for what--for a few elite groups gaining more wealth and power and control. A few who have no allegance to any state or people, but just to themselves.

The land is yours to stay in and if anyone seeks to through you out their hearts are veiled, but also remember how those Palestinians felt when they were forced out. Also know that people are good and the will forgive, if they return and their is a single state solution with guaranteed rights for all and 'proper education' there will can be peace.

Before this can be done peoples must change their own societies. That means the Palestinians and Israelis; the people are being mislead. Fear and hatred is being cultivated as acontrol mechanism.

I appreciate you taking the time to write to me. What you wrote sturred a lot of good emotions from me. One last thing; the means never justify the ends...never ever will the means justify the ends. Nationalism is a plague and true religion is ignored or forgotten by most the world.

Your Atlantic Records edit summary

One of your edits

This edit leaves parts of the succeeding page incomprehensible, namely the two section titles. Both are intended to be answers to the question you deleted. The question was raised on the talk page by several people who edited the page. Without it, parts of the page cannot be understood. Michael Hardy 23:46, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Nice user page, interesting (and entertaining) useboxes

I've had a rotten week & day (unrelated to Misplaced Pages), and your well-thought-through work on Occam's Razor a while back just happened to bring me to your user page. Thanks for introducing me to quite a few useboxes, which I had not seen before. It means a lot when one gets to smile for the first time on a rotten day. And yes - I lost the Game :-) --Ronja 15:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Occam's razor comment

In response to your comment about my edit for Occam's razor, at first glance I thought you were being sarcastic, but now I am confused. I now assume that you are being serious. If so, then no problemo! --Gary King 06:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Akado Yoroi

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Akado Yoroi, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Akado Yoroi is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Akado Yoroi, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.
