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)

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)

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.

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)

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 ^_^

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)
