Welcome to Misplaced Pages!!!

Hello Drag-5! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please stop. Continuing to add unsourced or original content is considered vandalism and may result in a block. jgpTC 20:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you. jgpTC 20:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

It is NOT original content. I have sources. if you need proof, then you should attach a 'citation required' to it. you are behaving immaturely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drag-5 (talk • contribs)

Yes, it is original content. Per Jimbo, "There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a "needs a cite" tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information" jgpTC 20:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

you are wrong. that quote may be relevant if I had not had numerous experiences with people being prejudiced towards tokusatsu. note the following link as evidence. http://www.theguyver.net/guyverboard/index.php?s=&showtopic=4780&view=findpost&p=55659

Neither of those are reliable sources. Your interpretations are original research. jgpTC 20:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

so if it can't be verified, it's not allowed? fair enough. maybe you should have explained that on your first edit reversion instead of simply changing it back. it would have saved a lot of hassle. and it's no good citing what the other guy said when he reverted it because all he wrote was an insulting comment about my writing. not exactly breeeding good faith. I'm normally a pretty easy going guy but you really didn't act in a very agreeable manner. just deleted my writing without so much as an explaination. Drag-5 21:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:003sho.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:003sho.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 16:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. I'm not very good with legal talk. if the image is a problem then please remove it. Drag-5 21:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:004mizuki.jpg

I have tagged Image:004mizuki.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Misplaced Pages policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you.

Image:023hayami.jpg

I have tagged Image:023hayami.jpg as a disputed use of non-free media, because there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please clarify your fair use rationale on the image description page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 09:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC) can you please tell me how to delete images, I am getting tired of these messages. Drag-5 14:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Tokusatsu

I know you're trying to do well, but there's a reason that I had used automatic rollback there. The website that you maintain (as is clearly stated on your user page) is not an appopriate external link to utilize in the article, mostly because you support violating copyright by telling people how to get illegal copies (fansubs).

Also, the information added in the revert you made was extraneous details relating to topics related to, but not central to, the subject of the article. Most of it was a biography of Eiji Tsuburaya, information about Suitmation, the methods of suitmation, or original synthesis, particularly the "criticism" section which was mostly fans complaining about it on Misplaced Pages, without any actual critical commentary from real world cultural anthropologists or film critics.

All in all, please read into everything a bit more before you blindly revert me for what you perceive as vandalism, particularly when its coming from an administrator.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 19:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Big things like that should be given a reason though. after all wikipedia is a public project. As an administrator you should know better. if you felt that the information was extranious, then should you not have posted in the discussion area? or instead converted said information into pages suited to that information? not just simply delete all that persons work with not even a word to explain why. Drag-5 20:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Because everything that had been added was removed sometime late last year/earlier this year during a massive reformatting of the page. The massive section on Tsuburaya was removed, and it was added back by that IP for reasons that I will never know. See this, this, and just browse through the page history to see how the article has improved by removing the really esoteric and specific information that has a much better home on your website or another fan project.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

your edits to the Guyver disambiguation page

On Guyver you clearly linked to a site that stated the title of the film without a 2, and what use is "Guyver - DJ." on a disambiguation page? that article doesn't exist! If wished, I will continue this on the talk page of the subject, but please stop reverting edits, as your actions could be concidered a act of edit war, and as you yourself have stated: "edit wars are clearly against wikipedia policy".  Doktor  Wilhelm  01:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC) your edits are disruptive to wikipedia. we are both reverting edits, but you have unfounded reason for changing these things. you should discuss these things and get more views on the subject before vandalising the article. if you continue to revert edits without discussing it, it will be taken to a higher authority. if you can justify your edits they will remain, but currently you have no justification and no consensus. wikipedia acts on concesus, not personal opinion. I strive to retain hte integrity of an article until a consensus can be reached. Drag-5 (talk) 01:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I have added in a ref for the title, and I have stated my reasons on the talk page that you posted on! you also have no justification and no consensus, though I have a reference for the name! If this matter continues, we shall have to take it to a higher authority, s you yourself threaten, and I will discuss it with them!  Doktor  Wilhelm  01:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I do not need consensus for something that has already recieved concensus. it recieved consensus due to the fact it has been that way for just over a month. not to mention this was edited by somebody else and i gave my concensus for it, that makes 2 people in favour of this version if not more.Drag-5 (talk) 01:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

There has been no attenpt to seek concensus on the matter before now, just because no-one changed something that is wrong, doesn't make it right!  Doktor  Wilhelm  01:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

DJ Guyver - Famous? Notable? or probably youself, isn't it? --Manop - TH (talk) 13:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

no, persojnally, I don't approve of him using the name guyver, but the fact is he does exhist. you can't dispute facts, and he is famous enough to be on ebay multiple times over and have an interview. there is proof that he is a reputable DJ, perhaps questionable what size this reputation is but neverhteless he is known, exchists and makes up factual information about the world. an encyclopedia is a collection of information. just because you don't like someone there's no reason to remove factual information. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drag-5 (talk • contribs)

Sorry, if you really believe that this guy famous. Please start a new page like DJ Guyver or whatever his name is, and don't add this to disambiguation page. You have many policies to read, dude. --Manop - TH (talk) 14:26, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I am a very busy person and don't have time to read every single policy, this is why i asked you to provide a justified reason for the removal. it seems you are incapable of citing reasons and moonriddengirl had to do that for you. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drag-5 (talk • contribs)

Sorry, I would suggest that this is not really a very good answer. Please read up on Misplaced Pages:Notability, along with WP:AGF, as without understanding this guidelines I really don't feel you should be editing Misplaced Pages. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 19:40, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I would say that it's true. and not everybody has time to read every single policy on wikipedia because there are about a million of them. I would say that it would make sense when editing something in a major fashion, that some reference should be made to the policy governing the reason for that change. I would imagine that there are alot of people who don't read every single policy and this would go a long way in preventing any issues. your links are appreciated. I would not have found those. (i have actually searched for similar things before)Drag-5 (talk) 22:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

You're funny. Go work Mr. DJ Guyver LOL. --Manop - TH (talk) 10:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Constituent country. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  DDStretch  (talk) 14:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

excuse me? I would appreciate it if you did not make baseless accusations. I did not attack anybody. if you are referring to the statement "I'm not going to waste my time in conflict with stubborn conservatives." this is a blanket statement and is not directed at any single person. maybe it belongs there, maybe it doesn't, I would leave that to other people to decide if it is relevant. please take your accusations elsewhere, I feel like you are directing libel at me.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Drag-5 (talk • contribs)

(a) It was potentially disruptive, (b) my message was quite justified, and (c) as an administrator, I am quite entitled to warn you of your behaviour on that talk page. You may feel all you want, but there is no need to escalate the situation by using legal terminology here. Take more care about how you phrase your messages in future.  DDStretch  (talk) 16:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Alternative PT with pictographic representations

I have seen your Alternative PT with pictographic representation of electron orbitals. I wonder if you are aware of ADOMAH Periodic Table by V.Tsimmerman that was published in Chemogenesis web book in 2007 among other PT formulations. Its shape looks just like some of the pictographic representations in your PT. I thought you might want to know. Drova (talk) 13:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

wow thank you very much! I was not aware of this, I had researched very little into different PT and simply constructed mine on a whim. the work done on this ADOMAH PT is really very interesting, especially the geometric model. i guess i should have expected that others had done similar things. thank you. Drag-5 (talk) 17:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

I haven't seen such pictographic representation of the orbitals before? Is this your invention? Perhaps you can refer me to a site where I could see them more clearly. Drova (talk) 18:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

sorry, I'm a little confused. i thought you were saying this adomah PT had the same things that i used? I could not see the pictures clearly so i assumed you'd seen a bigger version and it was teh same as what i'd done?

anyway, just to clarify my position on this, I was just whimsically pondering like i usually do and imagining the patterns of the orbitals and thinking about how they may be related to each other in terms of chemical reactions. i was thinking more philosophically than scientifically. I arrived upon a few ideas and decided to arrange this periodic table to illustrate my perspective on how the shells are arranged. i think i was trying to understand what determines which elements bind together, which are very reactive and which are unreactive, in terms of how many electrons would appear in the outer shell and which electrons are shared within that outer shell. uhm.. It would turn into a whole topic if i were to explain fully.. i don't think wikipedia allows for that kind of thing? if you want to know more about my perspective, you can contact me via one of my sites listed in my profile. oh, and that is the only available image of the things i was thinking about. unless somebody else did similar work. Drag-5 (talk) 02:19, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I was saying that Adomah PT looks very similar to the pictographs on your PT, not the same. I find it amazing that, thinking independently, you have come up with the images similar to the ADOMAH PT. It says something about its objectivity. Drova (talk) 03:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you think it seems that way. I cannot really prove to you how i created my image and the thought processes i went through. I can only tell you how it happened. it is up to you if you wish to believe me or not. I don't know what ADOMAH is about nor do i wish to know. I'm not looking for any recognition nor am I trying to promote my diagram in any way. I simply put it out there for people to look at if they wish. i feel like you are attacking me, have i misunderstood? Drag-5 (talk) 05:33, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Of course not. I am not attacking you. I believe you that you have come up with similar results independently and this is terrific! It means that the author of Adomah and you are onto something interesting. Drova (talk) 01:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see, in that case, thank you for pointing it out. :) I don't work in atomic physics, I am an artist and a story teller so I do not know abut these things usually, just concepts and ideas. if you discover anything based on these ideas or if this type of thinking is significant in some way please let me know. thank you for your interest, I do enjoy talking about the ideas i had when possible.

Masked Rider Decade

The term "Masked Rider" is only applied to the direct literal translation of the series' names for internationalization purposes. Toei's sources use both and as these are not the English localizations of the series, the "Original Title" is used in favor of the English Title. That, along with the basic long term use of the phrase "Kamen Rider" by the English speaking fan world over the use of "Masked Rider", as well as the lack of the use of the English name other than in CD and DVD releases, "Kamen Rider" is used on the English Misplaced Pages (as well as other language projects).

In short, do not move Kamen Rider Decade to Masked Rider Decade, again (or any other page with "Kamen Rider" in the title to the "Masked Rider" variant title) unless there is a consensus or agreement to do so.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Learn how to speak to people properly and your words might be respected more. Drag-5 (talk) 03:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I spoke perfectly fine. Don't you dare move the page again without a clear consensus or you will get blocked for disruptive edits.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

wow, what wonderful people skills. i bet you get really horny with your power trip. I will move it again and i don't care if you get me blocked. I just want to spoil your masturbation session that you're obviously getting from your pathetic attempt at power play. Drag-5 (talk) 03:23, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
