[edit] Re: Woah!

It was an old email address actually, and I had to use #2 b/c "Dinoguy" was taken!Dinoguy2 03:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No, really?

I have it written down on my white board because I keep forgetting that crap. However, I could use help on my User page. (If you don't mind) JoeZierer 05:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, (though I don't know if this will pop up with a "New Message" or not), I want to put like all the sidebar stuff that you have, and basically, what kind of stuff I should put. You know me pretty well, so I was hoping for suggestions.JoeZierer 10:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Grabble! I found some (read: numerous) userboxes. Any help on getting the boxes to look smoother instead of just square?Cyclopsis Raptor 21:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion for 1 piece episodes

reading the comment you added when you undid the episode comments, I see it shows that you shouldn't remove other's comments, but you can remove your own... now it doesn't make much sence to leave your replies to somone else's comments that are no longer there... but if you wanted to do that for some reason, i guess that can be done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.231.130.2 (talk) 21:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I let you "Win" your opinion on episode plots... at least give me the right to remove my own discussion, which accorind to WP:TALK people are allowed to do, just not other's. If you don't, i can alway start editing the episode plots again. I am trying to walk away gracefully, which i though I was doing by saying you "Won" and removed my opinion from the discussion page. Again, its up to you... you can leave me with a little editing dignaty, or you can be a jerk... which i can be too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.231.130.2 (talk) 22:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hey thanks heaps for helping me with the infobox borders. This really has helped me make navboxes that display correct colours of the topics. It's really appreciated.

Thanks again, Allied45 (talk) 03:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, don't mention it... ;) --Dinoguy1000 17:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] some problem and need your help

dear dino first of all could you please check here? i got some problems with colapisble tables?by the way i found out that you are fan of anime! could you please kindly suggest me some other anime like death note? i mean the story and enjoyabity! --mardetanha(/\/\ ()[-]$[- /\/) (talk) 18:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Minor typographical edits done to above message by User:Dinoguy1000 on 19:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello there. If I may, I'd like to first ask you why Monobook.js is still being used instead of Common.js (I assume the comment has something to do with it, but I can't read Farsi). Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure what could be causing the problem at the moment.

As to anime, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help there... My best suggestion would be to have a look at some of the other series listed on that page, and in general, just listen closely for any information on other anime similar to Death Note.

Hope this helps you (even if just a little bit)! —Dinoguy1000 19:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

so first of all u suggest to change mediawiki to common! what do u think of this problem?--mardetanha(/\/\ ()[-]$[- /\/) (talk) 19:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, actually, I was just asking why Monobook.js is still being used on the Farsi Wikipedia, as it has been deprecated on here (see MediaWiki:Monobook.js). Beyond that, now that I look, you have not copied over the hasClass() function. This is necessary as it allows the collapsible tables script to find tables with the collapsible class.

Hopefully, that will help correct your problem. Beyond that, I'd be happy to help lend a hand to clean up the javaScript on the Farsi Wikipedia some (for instance, the tooltips and accesskeys array can be replaced by appropriate MediaWiki messages). —Dinoguy1000 20:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

For quick reference, please just ignore it... fa:مدیاویکی:Common.css | fa:مدیاویکی:Common.js | fa:مدیاویکی:Monobook.css | fa:مدیاویکی:Monobook.js

it will be great if you can help us. make a acount on fawiki waiting for you there my talk page 20:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

All right, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to invest a great deal of time for it, nor will I be able to participate in any discussions in Farsi, as I pointed out above. My userpage is located at fa:کاربر:Dinoguy1000. —Dinoguy1000 20:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

no problem. i have put welcome messeage over the--mardetanha(/\/\ ()[-]$[- /\/) (talk) 20:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep, I noticed it. Thanks for the warm greeting! ;) —Dinoguy1000 22:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

coudl you possibly make subpage for your self and and copy over the hasClass(). and put it in some other page.then i could request local sysop to change those pages--mardetanha(/\/\ ()[-]$[- /\/) (talk) 21:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing, just give me a second... —Dinoguy1000 22:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Date Formatting

Where was absolutely no reason or need to edit List of Blood+ episodes to reformat the dates. This issue was brought up recently at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Concern: commas and dates and it was agreed that while commas may not be "needed" people don't need to just run around removing them either. Collectonian (talk) 21:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Aah, okay. Sorry for the unnecessary edit, but I sort of figured that you or someone else would revert (which leads to the question of why I edited the dates in the first place... I'm afraid I don't have a good reason). As to the policy discussion, thanks for pointing it out, as I don't really watch too many policy pages. I'm definitely going to be more careful about this stuff in the future. —Dinoguy1000 17:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

And reading the discussion lead me to realise that I have inadvertently been changing some dates from international to American format. At the time, I thought I was just straightening out redirects (which, come to think of it, also violates policy). It seems I'm a rather sloppier editor than I thought. Oh well, just one more thing to keep an eye out for in the future. —Dinoguy1000 18:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

No prob :) And hey, isn't that how most of us end up learning? *grin* Collectonian (talk) 18:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Userpage

Hey there and thanks for the inquiry. I don't update my userpage because there really isn't that much to say about me. I feel like I have split personality that shows me one way with one set of friends and another way in other companies. If I collect all that and put it on one page, then it could end up alienating a lot of people. Not to mention I really don't like to show off: I know what I like, I adjust things and that's all. Not much more I think I can say. -StrangerAtaru (talk) 18:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BRs

"see WP:NOBR#Causing line breaks - br isn't straight HTML in MediaWiki, it gets interpreted, so <br> is slightly better than <br />, though I won't revert again" - the web developer in me is crying now :P Never knew that though...learn something new every day on wikipedia! Collectonian (talk) 22:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I know how you feel... did Micro$oft take over the MediaWiki software development or something? *raises eyebrow* —Dinoguy1000 18:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Monobook issue

Per the request here User_talk:TheDJ#Status_switcher I've rolled your monobook back an edit, so you should be able to log in and edit. MBisanz ^talk 08:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I will try to fix this problem in the future. For the mean while I have created a safety check, that hopefully shouldn't have such destructive effects on IE, but it is not yet tested to work :D --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 08:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

PS, you might have to Clear your browser cache before you might be able to browse again. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 08:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Aah, thank you, MBisanz and TheDJ, after bypassing my cache (which required some fast ESC pressing =P ), I was able to log in without the error message. Here's hoping you can get it working on IE, TheDJ, it really looks like a nifty script! =D —Dinoguy1000 16:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Case Closed Question

I was wondering if you could please explain why you removed the Detective Encyclopedia from the List of Case Closed chapters. Thanks Antiyonder (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, that wasn't my doing. Collectonian removed it over a couple of edits and then added a note in the lead mentioning it. You can read a discussion about it and other issues on the talk page. —Dinoguy1000 16:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fast and simple status changer

I noticed you had trouble with Qui, perhaps User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate might be an appropriate alternative? Best, xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 22:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the link, xeno, looks pretty nifty. —Dinoguy1000 16:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot in the lead

I have seen short intros in several lists, see also the featured list List of Claymore chapters. Tintor2 (talk) 17:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the link. i just wanted to be sure... ;) —Dinoguy1000 17:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

No prob^_^--Tintor2 (talk) 17:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One Piece templates

Since you're good at template clean up, any desire to tackle cleaning up and merging the three for One Piece? {{One Piece Factions}}, {{One Piece characters}}, and {{One Piece}}. (actually I think Factions may already be merged into the One Piece). -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 21:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a look... I've actually already done some work on the One Piece template, and the other two would have been taken care of by now if I'd known they were there... ;) —Dinoguy1000 15:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. It's not as neat as it could be, but hopefully it will improve as various articles get merged together. —Dinoguy1000 16:14, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks :) Back to the article clean up and arguing with people who keep saying "OMG, I must have 5000 pages about this series" :P -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Lists template

Please hold off on adding the WikiProject Lists template to every list article on the project. My full concerns are listed on my post one year ago at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lists#Project banner. -- Ned Scott 06:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Aah, sorry about that, Ned. I wasn't aware of any such discussion previously, and the only reason I started adding the banner was because Collectonian tagged List of Blood+ chapters, List of Blood+ light novels, List of Blood+ characters, and List of Blood+ episodes with it when she created/started editing them. Along those lines, would it hurt for me to continue adding the banner to those list articles that I create, or should I hold off on that as well? —Dinoguy1000 18:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] On Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle story arcs

Hello there. I noticed that you rv. the story arcs information on the Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle article. So I was wondering, where do you believe an arc story synthesis could be posted safely, without causing disruptions? and in what format? (a table, a small paragraph, etc) because List of Tsubasa Chronicle episodes just summarize mainly the anime, which differs in extent and plot, far away from the manga. And on the other hand, List of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle chapters indeed covers the manga publications to a great extent, but currently just features a chronological listing, with no summarizing at all (all the above led me to include the information where I did it eventually, while thinking it will cause the least disruption possible, in the light of the content and structure of the other two pages) So if you are kind enough, please share a little bit of your insight with me. I will really apreciate the viewpoints of a seasoned editor on the matter.

The best of regards to you, and thank you for your time.

Rastellus (talk) 07:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Rastellus, thanks for asking me about this instead of starting an edit war... ^_^;; The reason I removed the story arcs information from the Tsubasa article is because the plot details it discusses should already be covered adequately in the plot section and the chapter and episode lists (although, as you noted, the Tsubasa chapter list currently doesn't have summaries; you're free to add them if you want). Besides that, which episodes and which chapters line up is considered trivial information, and similar info has been removed numerous times from other articles. Hope this helps some! —Dinoguy1000 18:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your answer to my queries. I'm glad of having talked with you.

Cheers ^_^.

—Rastellus (talk) 04:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Macrons

I have no idea about macrons, I found them in Japanese site, though I dont know Japanese and it seems it only has five volumes.--Tintor2 (talk) 19:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

All right, I wasn't sure. Based on my own understanding of Japanese and Hepburn romanization (which is admittedly very limited), the macron forms I posted *should* be correct, but it wouldn't hurt to get outside opinion (maybe Collectonian or Doceirias?). —Dinoguy1000 19:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I added more. I will probably continue later, so feel free to correct the titles. Also, do these volumes have titles? The ones from my country have it.--Tintor2 (talk) 18:09, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

All right, will do. As far as volume titles are concerned, I didn't really pay attention, which country is it that you live in? —Dinoguy1000 20:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Argentina, but the volumes are from Spain.--Tintor2 (talk) 20:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Aah. I'll have to look when I request some of the other volumes to double-check English chapter titles. Do you know if the original Japanese volumes are named? —Dinoguy1000 21:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes and apparently the first volume of Viz Media is called "Monkey king" since the vol title is a chapter title.Tintor2 (talk) 21:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, if the Japanese volumes are named, we should list them, and to hell with what Viz did with the translations. ;) However, as far as I know, Viz doesn't usually throw out stuff like volume titles when they translate stuff, so the English volumes are probably named too. —Dinoguy1000 21:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template changes

Thank you SO much for the little fixes you made to Template:Infobox binational animation. I haven't been on WP very long and I was really winging it. Just finished it a few hours ago! If you are "in the know," might I ask for a favor? As I mentioned on the template's page, I adapted this from existing modular infobox templates at WP:ANIME. I got everything done and then some funky formatting thing happened that forced me to remove some parameters that (I think) automatically place any page using the infobox into relevant categories. Could you help me get them back in there? Or, do you think it would be better to leave them out in case someone, some day, decides to use the template for some other cooperative anime/manga-ish project between countries besides Japan and Korea?

Also, er, this isn't actually a television infobox...it's a theatrical-release film (it did come out on dvd, though). Is this something I can change or...? I haven't managed to learn about putting things in categories yet. Obviously. :) Sorry for being so wordy! --hamu♥hamu (talk) 19:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Hamuhamu! Personally, I don't see this template being used for very many things (the whole reason there's such a dispute going on with Blade of the Phantom Master in the first case is because it's such a unique case), so it would be better to just manually add categories to the article in question. For that matter, it *may* be a better idea to just hard-code an infobox on the article itself, but I don't have any idea what various policies, guidelines, etc. have to say about something like that. You may be better off asking about that on the Infoboxes project, although I have no idea just how active they are. If you do get a reply, though, they will probably also be able to help you generalize the template and add some other parameters. As for the television infobox... Well, I actually just copied the categories from Template:Infobox animanga without paying much attention to how appropriate they were... <.< >.> You can go ahead and remove that category if you feel it doesn't fit. ;) —Dinoguy1000 19:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah that's why your name looked familiar! You've been part of the ongoing discussion on the series talk page. I thought about hard-coding the infobox, but that makes it really hard to add or change info, from what I can tell. I'll play around with categories and whatnot and see what happens. I kept looking for a policy that an infobox needs to be used on at least a certain # of pages in order for its template to be safe from deletion, and I thought about inquiring and going through the whole request process but I was like...dude, this needs to happen now, LOL. Good advice, though, and now that things have simmered down, I'll follow through with it! --hamu♥hamu (talk) 20:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Yep, at this point, I've got most of the Animanga project and portal-related pages on my watchlist, and I chime in on discussions from time to time. ;) If you format the source properly, it can actually be pretty simple to update information in hardcoded instances like that, and it also helps if you know how to write clean source code. In any case, I'd say wait for a response before ditching the template, it could potentially be pretty useful, in the event there are any manga-ka who regularly publish in the U.S. (or, vice versa, if there're any U.S. authors who regularly publish in Japan), or other similar situations. —Dinoguy1000 20:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I've taken your advice and posted a "what should I do now?" inquiry at Wikiproject Infoboxes. Coincidentally, I ran across another article on a comic written by a Japanese and illustrated by a Korean, and the exact same type of bickering is going on in its edit summaries...not a single line of discussion on the talk page though. *shakes head* ..... Anyway, that's not why I'm really here. I wanted to ask you if you'd give me your opinion about something I posted on my user talk page regarding centralization of manhwa work. Would you take a few minutes a weigh in? I'd really appreciate it! --hamu♥hamu (talk) 12:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Really? What article is it? As for the discussion, I'll have a look, and I started a similar discussion here about a week ago. —Dinoguy1000 16:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
