Misplaced Pages

Hello!

Hey, TTN... its been a while huh? I was out for a couple of weeks cause my computer started acting up. So I went to go get it fixed, and it turns out the motherboard was completly fucked up. So I did what any other pissed off person with cash would do. I kicked my COM around a few minutes, then I spit on it another few minutes, and finally I went out to Best Buy and got a new one! See, it all worked out for BP. So now that im back...eh... what'd I miss? Any new trolls? -- bulletproof 18:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually we're getting rid of Kaein and Luppi's articles as well. If you want to nuke Don Kanonji's page while you're at it then by all means go ahead. I'd leave Hanataro and Ganju for now because of their ongoing presence in the filler. --tjstrf talk 19:41, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... maybe? I'd say no at this point because they aren't dead, a lot of them have had filler roles, and in general they have ongoing roles of some sort. Once the series is concluded, of course, we'll need to re-evaluate.--tjstrf talk 20:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you very much for organizing the archives thing. I greatly appreciate it! Kyo cat 03:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Bardock

Hey there, Nemu! Um, could you check out Talk:Bardock? I posted up a discussion but nobody has answered yet (I think)....maybe if you put up your opinion on the site, more will take a look at it and give their opinion. So, when you get the chance, visit the talk page. It's section is at the very bottom. There's a link to the site; see if it has good information. If not, can you find a link needed or something? Thanks! ----Power level(Dragon Ball)16:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Move requests

According to my buddies at #Misplaced Pages at irc.freenode.net , it's not a good idea to start a move request immediately after a move request has failed for the same move. I would wait three months before trying again. WhisperToMe 02:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Someguy 0830

You actually think I want to fight with him, ha, I'm getting sick of him reverting everything I edit. It always takes someone like you to break up the fight.Sam ov the blue sand 00:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

That's your problem. You're acting very confrontational around him. Many of your recent edits seem to be trying to entice him to fight with you. I'm sure he has nothing against you personally. You sould take a look at the quality of your edits to see if they are actually good or not. Nemu 00:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

All my edits are good, I never try to fight with him infact I try to make as few edits possible to avoid him but that doesn't work. He provokes me sometimes look at Sasori history to see example. I tried to talk with him but he said no to my offer (see he and I's talk pages you'll see them).Sam ov the blue sand 01:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Never mind I'm a better person now thanks to Gunslinger 47.Sam ov the blue sand 23:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

What do you think?

There's a troll that is reverting my redirects from a few articles that seem to be plain listcruft. (List of Dragon Ball DVDs List of Dragon Ball video games, List of Dragon Ball episodes) I believe it is unnecessary to have such lists because of the fact that there are templates that list most of the information there already. The third article in question is nothing more than a list of movies and links to other lists. A comment on this issue would be greatly appreciated. -- bulletproof 03:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I've never seen any DVD lists, so that seems pretty pointless. The epsiode list seems to be more like a disambiguation page rather than a real page, so that might be fine(unless you're talking about the articles it links to or something, didn't look at those). Video games seems fine. I've seen plenty of them before. It seems that they're generally accepted. Nemu 03:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

So there are some articles for DVDs. I think they're fine as long as it's an actual long running and popular show. The only articles that I've seen lists like these get deleted for are game and reality shows. If you feel strongly about it, I would suggest putting them up for deletion. Nemu 03:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

The List of Dragon Ball video games seems pointless to me becuase there is a template and a category with that stuff anyway. See Template:Dragon Ball games and Category:Dragon Ball games. The epsiode list is pointless too becuase it is just a list of DB movies (Which has a template already. See Template:Dragon Ball films) and, other lists. Not even the name of the article makes sense. It says List of Dragon Ball episodes, but no episodes are listed. Its just a list of other lists. It wouldn't even pass for a disambig page. -- bulletproof 03:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe we should handle the episode list like this one: List of Pokémon episodes. It seems like it could be a good way of doing it. I would say to delete the template for the video games and keep the page. That how five I looked at handle it. I would keep the DVD list possibly. If we can make it neater(add pictures and templates), it seems like it could be fine. Seeing as there are many other pages like those, it should be fine to keep them. Nemu 14:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

You're right

That image is waaay too small to be set just to thumbnail. I can see your point when I relook at it. Sorry for the doubt. I didn't see the point in thumbnailing an image and then resizing it like that.

No harm done I hope, I just didn't notice how tight the picture looks.

And I was going also part in experience, apparently the last time I tried to do just that with an image it didn't want to work. You don't need to know the details. Its nothing big. Angel Emfrbl 16:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Redirect Thanks

Thanks! Asa01 02:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Dragon World

Please see Talk:Dragon World dispute for your vote on whether we should keep the Human (Dragon World) article or have it merged into Dragon World. Thanks! Power level (Dragon Ball) 15:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Red Ribbon Army

I fixed up the first two paragraphs of the article. So what do you think? I'm starting on the characters sections now. Please help me fix it if you think it's still worded strangely, but don't just revert it. Thanks! Power level (Dragon Ball) 14:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you at least find some interesting stuff to add to Human (Dragon Ball)? If you keep insisting a merger, you'll never have an idea of what to add. Please, I'm trying my hardest to actually put something in it. Remember, it is a stub that needs expansion. As I said, give it at least a week or two. Same as with Red Ribbon Army. (It needs more time!) Thanks! Power level (Dragon Ball)

Sasori image

It's not absolutely a fan image. It was drawn by Kishimoto and coloured by fan. It means that it is the combination between Kishi and fan. That primitive image of Sasori is too bad, so I replace with a better one, which depicts Sasori's characteristics carefully following Kishi's description. Causesobad 15:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Fan image, fan colored image, same thing. Neither will go up. Nemu 15:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It's a pity you can't differentiate between the "image by fan" and "image coloured by fan". Moreover, why do we always use the image coloured by the author only? Kishimoto is not an artist, so he can't colour, also doesn't have enough talent to colour all his images. We should be flexible when choosing an illustrated image, which can demostrate the deep soul of the character whether it coloured by author or not. That small pic of Sasori only depicts a half of his face, that's so unfair for Sasori. So I critically recommend to change it with another better one.Causesobad 07:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Kakuzu is not greedy

I have explained very clearly why Someguy0830 shouldn't use the word "greedy". If you yourself also can't make it out, I have nothing to say but "upset". Your understanding is merely to interfuse the "money loving" with "greed". Causesobad 08:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Requested move Hercule (Dragon Ball) to Mister Satan

It's happening again. Place your vote/comment on the respective talk page for which name Misplaced Pages should use; a censored name, or an orignal name. 15:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

In re Rampard

According to ArrEmmDee, the Rampard image came from the Japanese Pokémon site, if it helps in the quagmire. -Jeske 01:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Leave DSDark's edits be until he's blocked. The blocking admin should do a rollback on him. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 01:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Alright. ArrEmmDee reported him on Mukubird, and I added the warning and Rampard violation. -Jeske 01:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

London Cat

Thanks for your help, I removed the cat from the template. The only problem now being that they aren't categorised by location, but I'm sure they could be manually tagged. Thanks, RHB 23:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Human(Dragon Ball) and Dragon World

Hello, my name is Sir james paul and I am here to resolve the dipute inbeetween Animedude360 and you. Both of you need to work on this fast so you can get this over with. I would like to ask both of you to be civil, and follow policies and guidlines at all times during this. What we will have to do is reach an agreement on the article talk pages. I would like the articles to be 2 while we are talking about this, if we agree to merge them, then we will, vise versa. If you have any questions regarding this you can talk to me here. Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir james paul 02:03, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry about deleting your comment. I frogot you were a part of this whole thing. If you have any more ideas tell them, our goal is to have a compromise by the 24.--Sir james paul 07:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
• Read this page. It will help you during this conflict.--Sir james paul 07:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
• Would you be okay with the article being merged with races dragonball? You may need to come up with a compromise.--Sir james paul 11:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

We are going to take a small break from this and see if things get better. --Sir james paul 11:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Do you think we can get over this and move on in our life on wikipedia? --§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 02:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

If PL(DB) drops it, I'm fine, but he usually drags things on. Nemu 02:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

• If Animedude360 agrees to it this will be closed by december 21. Merry christmas!--§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 03:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Saiyans

I disagree with your use of a lowercase "S" in Saiyans and the other Dragon Ball races. There's a discussion going on here Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style (capital letters), but the concensus seems to be to use whatever the policy is of the show itself. In this case, every reference to "Saiyan" I can find in official publications-- FUNi and Viz translations, etc.-- are capitalized. I think it is pretty clear that capitalization is the preferred method. JRP 07:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Zarbon and Dodoria

You remember that Zarbon dude? Apparantly he's still got that WP:OWN problem and has gone about reverting the pages to his version.--SUIT 19:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment

What did you mean when you said this: "Even though it's true, we don't decide that" source? I really couldn't find a source online regarding Toriyama having to do with helping to create Janemba with the anime staff, but you yourself said that it's true, right? Really, why don't we decide that? Would be considered Original Research? 19:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

If you find a source for the design, readd it. My comment was geared towards the canon part of it. Nemu 19:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Numbers

Did you even read the talk page before changing those numbers on Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2? I COUNTED how many characters there are two different ways and I didn't get 129 and 132 either way. Read the talk page, provide your reasoning for using those numbers, and THEN change them, please.

Daishokaioshin 04:19, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Power level (Dragon Ball Z)

If you disagree with something on the PL(DBZ) page, please discuss it on its' respective talk page rather than remove it as if it were original research. If you continue to remove those power levels, you will recieve a warning regarding your removal of content, without proper consensus that is. Please start a discussion about it. PL(DB) 23:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Why the hell are you going on about consensus? You don't need to vote for every single edit. And he left edit summaries explaining his edits.--SUIT 23:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Why remove the Daizenshū power levels if they're accurate? Should I start a discussion on the talk page about it then? PL(DB) 23:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Must you try to edit war over everything, PL? For once, pay attention to the reasoning of others instead of acting like you always do. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 00:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, lets see. They are unofficial, disputable, and at points make no sense (there is no way Freeza could be over tweny million in his final form). We only go up to Trunks while the Daizenshū goes further. Why stop there? Because we don't trust them at that point, so why should we trust them earlier? Nemu 00:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

First, PL(DB) is right. There are several users (including me) who totally disagree with TTN's last edits. Since Misplaced Pages is not a personal but a collective work, if there's disagreement, there must be discussion and consensus.

It's against the rules of Misplaced Pages that one user could ignore the others and keep reverting to his version without discussion, thus claiming ownership on the article. TTN, continue like that and you'll be warned in order to be blocked.

Second, the people against the Daizenshū (and particularly TTN) seem astonishingly ignorant of it's content. In fact, If think I'm one of the only here who has actually read the Daizenshū and who knows what it is. Thus TTN's edits are based on false assumptions, misconceptions, and aren't benefiting Misplaced Pages.

TTN, you say that the power level of the Daizenshū are "unofficial" ? Can't you read the PL article ? It's stated right there. The Daizenshū is an official databook, written by Shueisha writers with the help and supervision of Akira Toriyama himself (I remind you that Shueisha is the japanese publisher of the manga, and that Akira Toriyama is the one who created Dragon Ball). Toriyama himself has stated in the introduction of the book that he was very pleased with the result. TTN, please stop spreading utter lies, the daizenshū is absolutely official.

Then, TTN, you say that they are "disputable" ? No they aren't. No one can dispute what has been written with the help of Toriyama himself in an official databook. Every power given fits perfectly with what was stated previously in the manga.You have no way to dispute it unless you are Toriyama himself.

You say "makes no sense" ? Absolutely wrong. Look in the archive of the talk page of the concerned article, I've explained countless times why Freeza's final PL makes absolute sense. Gokû's and Vegeta's base power during the Freeza fight are already in the millions. Due to the Kaiôken and the SSJ, Gokû reaches the hundreds of millions, so it's perfectly logical for Freeza to reach also the hundreds of millions.

You say "the Daizenshū goes further than Trunks" ?? What's this ??? Where did you get that from ??? Have you ever read the Daizenshū ??? The last power level in the Daizenshū is Gokû SSJ during the Freeza battle. It absolutely doesn't go any further. Only the shitty fan-made PL lists go beyond that point.

You say "we don't trust them at that point". U-T-T-E-R R-U-B-B-I-S-H. Because the Daiz' doesn't go any further than the manga does. It stops at the Freeza saga. If in the article, we don't go further than that, it's because no official source goes beyond this point (not even the Daiz').

But there are lists we don't trust, the shitty fan-made lists. Obviously you have mistaken these lists with the one from the Daiz', which shows you're completely ignorant of what the Daiz' is, thus making you perfectly unable to claim anything about it, about it's content, about whether we should trust it or not. Your point of view here is simply irrelevant and it doesn't deserve to be taken into account.

Your rants here are basically that, based on your ignorance and misconceptions about the Daiz', we shouldn't trust it because you have decided it. It's your own personal point of view, and it would be perfect on one of these countless message-boards full of ignorant kids. But here we're on Misplaced Pages, that is, a serious project, with very precise rules: we have to be ojective, and we don't allow personal point of views.

The aim of the Powel Level article is to build a complete list based on all the valid sources we have on the subject. The Daiz', with the anime, are parts of these valid sources. So basically, we don't care about your personal preferences about the Daiz', since this article must be thorough, it will use all the valid and official sources we have, whether or not you like or dislike one of the sources. We have to be thorough, not subjective. Folken de Fanel 13:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Why did you bother typing all of that? Really, you just turned a paragraph response into a giant rant. Just say I'm wrong. You don't need to try to feel superior to me(just to let you know, you really didn't decimate me like you probably think you did).

Ok, whatever, I was wrong. I still don't know how the hell you can look at those final power levels and think they're correct in an official sense, but, whatever. Nemu 14:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Why did I bother to write all that ? Yeah, you're right, as if you bothered to justify any of your edits...I did that because here we're not on any stupid DBZ message-board but on Misplaced Pages, and there are rules and principles, you know. That's what we call "discussion". I know you're not used to this on message-boards, but...

You "still don't know" ? You simply have to read what I wrote. And also read the manga. Folken de Fanel 15:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Have you ever seen a Dragon Ball message board? Most posts are twice the size of that while discussing the most inane things, so I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm just saying you turned a few paragraphs in to into a giant rant that indirectly called me stupid and ignorant (in the sense of an idiot). Discussion is discussion, not a rant. You reply to a thought with a thought of decent proportion. I had a paragraph. That should mean, maybe, three for you. Nemu 16:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

So now you get to decide how long someone's response to something is? Wow. And here I thought that someone could type something that is as long as is necessary to explain something to someone who clearly doesn't understand or know anything about what they are talking about. Shows what I know.

Or maybe you're being overly defensive and claiming people are attacking you when they are doing no such thing. Just a possibility to consider.

Daishokaioshin 05:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Did you even read his comment? It's full of the step by step explanations as if I could never understand it. He compares me to a random message board user for no reason other than to diminish me. The tone of the message is very "elitist" in a way, and is just rude in general. He easily could have said "You're wrong because of x, y, and z. The end." That's all I'm saying. On a side note, you shouldn't be one to criticize someone for being totally wrong(;P). Nemu 06:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh. Wow. Yeah. You sure showed me what a big man you are. Because, as we all know, miscounting something is exactly the same as making declarations about something with which one has no experience or understanding, and then criticizing someone when they explain why it is that one was wrong, and happen to use more words than one is comfortable with. Yeah. Great job pointing out how I am "totally wrong", Mister Perfect. On a side note, yes, I read his comment, and I initially didn't see anything wrong with it. I re-read it and attempted to see it from your point of view, and yeah, I guess some of it could have been cut out or worded better. However, if the way you portray yourself through your words and actions deserves comparison to "random message board users", then people are going to make that comparison. Perhaps you could attempt to change the way people perceive you by acting and speaking differently? Calling people "elitists", in particular, is something I've noticed you do often, and it may not be taken well by many people, leading them to say things like Folken did.

By the way, I'm not attempting to defend Folken, as I have had problems with him in the past. He DOES personally attack people, for no reason, and make assumptions about people's lives outside of Misplaced Pages when he has no knowledge about the person whatsoever. He started a gigantic argument on my talk page once, insisting I apologize for "being racist" because I noted that his user page says he is from France, and I suggested that the reason we were having difficulty communicating may be due to a language barrier. From the disjointed manner in which he barraged me with demands that I apologize, and denying he had made any personal attacks, while simultaneously launching more of them, it only supported my suggestion.

In short, he may understand the Daizenshuu and Dragon Ball Z, but communication and manners aren't his strong points. If you are mad about the other things he said about you, I understand completely, and apologize if things I may have said seemed to support his words, or were taken as attacks by you, when that was not their intent. You've contributed a lot towards Misplaced Pages, but some things, like name-debating, and being confrontational (intentional or not) are only hurting things, rather than helping them. If you are interested in using a specific set of names and terms for Dragon Ball Z, I would support doing as just about every other anime or manga represented on Misplaced Pages does, and use the official romaji rather than whatever the most popular American version is. There's only two or three series on Misplaced Pages that have this controvery over names, and Dragon Ball Z is one of them. There is no justification for using one dub's names over another, and I think a lot of good points were made in the Paikuhan article's talk page, which you may wish to read and consider, as well as direct others towards in the future, as we attempt to shift Dragon Ball Z articles towards the original names, rather than having a mix of original and abomination (aka FUNimation) names.

Apologies also, if that was too long for you. When I get writing, I tend to lose track of the length of things. Good luck with future editing.

Daishokaioshin 01:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Daikaioshin, you were the one who personally attacked me, because you couldn't stand that anyone could have a different opinion. Folken de Fanel 09:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I am extremely open-minded and have no problem with other people having other opinions. You, as usual, are making judgements about people without knowing anything about them. Don't try to defend your actions on TTN's talk page, or anywhere else. You were wrong. Also, I've noticed I'm not banned yet. You said that if I didn't apologize, you'd have me banned. So where's the ban? If you want to comment towards me, use my talk page, rather than spamming TTN's talk page with your grotesque lack of personal skills, and your overabundance of arrogance and self-justification for wrong-doings. In the future, comment on the topic at hand, rather than throwing in your little snide comments.

Daishokaioshin 04:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

You have problem with other people having other opinions. Because I've read what you wrote about me when I "dared" to contradict you. You might have forgotten it and be trying to alter the facts, but I remember well.

I am not "making judgements about people without knowing anything about them".

First, what you've just said is a personal agression, which is a proof of what I'm saying, that you are attacking anyone against you.

Second, it's a complete lie, since everything I say is strickly based on what I can read, and more precisely of what you said to me. If I say you were the first to attack me, it's because it's true, because I was directly concerned by your agressions.

And in fact, you are the only person making judgement about persons you don't know.

"Don't try to defend your actions on TTN's talk page, or anywhere else" : First don't give me orders, I'll do what I want.

Second, I've got nothing to "defend", all I did was to contradict you and to prove my point. I've not commited any "crimes". Being right is not a crime. I don't care whether you being always right on Misplaced Pages is your only reason to live or not.

Third, what "actions" are you talking about ? I've merely explained, with many relevant details about a DB databook, why TTN was wrong, and do I have to remind you that a day before you were approving my "actions" and defending me against TTN ? That is, until I stated the truth about your behavior towards me and you decided I was a bloodthirsty criminal...

What "actions anywhere else" are you talking about ? Please don't make accusations without solid proofs.

"You were wrong." . No. I'm right and I've proved it.

"Also, I've noticed I'm not banned yet." And you still haven't succeeded to ban me (but I admit it's a very difficult task, when your only accusation is "he dared to contradict me and to prove I was wrong !").

"You said that if I didn't apologize, you'd have me banned. So where's the ban?" Again your attacking me personally. I note here provocation, even menace. That's funny how you're trying to turn this discussion into a lynching when you're the one who was wrong. But if you so want to get banned, be sure you've chosen the best way to reach your aim.

"If you want to comment towards me, use my talk page": That's funny, I don't remember you leaving any message on my talk page, before you falsely accused me of "personaly-attacking everyone" and depicted me as a mad agressor and returned to your old racial insults against me.

"rather than spamming TTN's talk page with your grotesque lack of personal skills"

First, you're the only one here spamming his talk page since you've intentionally used this opportunity to try to avenge you. You've intentionnally made false accusations to make me react so that you could lynch me.

"grotesque lack of personal skills" : Well, if that's not characteristic personal attack, and rather violent I should say, not counting your obvious way of "assumling things when you don't know anything about the persons you're talking to". Who are you to say such things ?

"and your overabundance of arrogance and self-justification for wrong-doings." You're so funny. So contradicting you and having right when you are wrong is a "wrong-doing", now ? As if it was a crime. Now, to clear things up: I've never commited any wrong doing. I've always been absolutely and undisputably right, the first time I merely put a self-righteous kid in his place, and now I'm just preventing the very same kid to spread lies.

"In the future, comment on the topic at hand, rather than throwing in your little snide comments." : Funny, because that's exactly what you've refused to do here. So I refuse this sentence and I return it to you. In the future, comment on the topic at hand, rather than throwing in your little snide comments, Daishokaioshin.
