[edit] Laserdisc vs. DVD image
Hi, I'm trying to assign different tags for images depending on their license. I assumed you have taken the photo Image:LDDVDComparison.jpg by yourself and published it under GFDL. Is this correct? Thanks in advance! –Mysid (talk) 12:20, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, you are correct. That image of my personal collection of Laserdiscs and DVDs, which I posted as a exhibition of what the Laserdisc was.--Kevin586 17:38, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] DD-CD
Hi! See this. Henri Tapani Heinonen 15:10, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Thank for the the clarification! It was always lingering in the back of mind of that the Double Density Compact Disc and GD-ROM are ultimately different standards dispite the similarities. Stranger still, why would Sony would even market such a format despite the dubious success of other predecessors like the minidisc and UMD?.--Kevin586 17:56, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] LD DVD Comparision image details
Because of the popularity of the the Image:LDDVDComparison.jpg picture, I would like to add some additional trivial facts of that image.
The DVD used is the data side of a Killzone demo which as long been destroyed. The laserdisc used is ironically a DVD demo/infomercial which seems to to have been produced for the now defunct The Good Guys! electronics chain in southern california. This single-sided CAV disc comes with ananlog-only sound and produced by Pioneer. The video content is a mixture of movie trailers, promotional spots for DVD players, and Good Guys themselves. The disc is labled 09-394 DVD INFOMERCIAL THE GOOD GUYS, manufactured by Pioneer New Media Techonlogies, INC.
I acquired is this when I purchased their next to last laserdisc player for sale, a CLD-S303, in 1996 and noticed that disc was still inside. When I brought up the matter with the salesperson, he simply said I could keep it. --Kenn Caesius 15:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About the Winx Club character articles
Sorry, I've only seen Bloom, Stella and Layla's articles, but I'd like to thank you for adding those pictures. It really helps an article when there's pictures. --Alexie 03:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- You are welcome.--Kenn Caesius 03:03, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aly AJ article
Hey, DeadGuy here, thanks for clearing the vandalism. I would just like to point out that the statement you saw was different from the one that was originally there. ORIGINAL STATEMENT: (This is somewhat inaccurate as evolution is not a religion but a scientific theory, and the statement itself is somewhat hypocritical)
VANDALISM STATEMENT: (She is correct when she says that evolution is just a religion, considering it's so called "evidences" are completely flawed: DrDino)
As you can see, there is a difference. You may ask "why is the top one better than the bottom one?" Well, see the article's talk page. I explained it all there.
Just to let you know.... Please give a response! --24.22.212.250 19:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, DeadGuy again. I would like to apologize for my response in the Aly and AJ article that I have now removed out of embarassment. You made the right choice removing that tidbit, because it did not deal with the article in general. I also appreciate your NPOV, because that shows that you are not blinded by your opinion. At the time I wrote that my mind was a little foggy from the subject, and I apologize. You were the better person this round. If you could forgive me. --DeadGuy 23:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of Winx Club episodes vandalism
The admin who semi-protected List of Winx Club episodes for us has suggested that if this person continues after the ban and the semi-protection is removed, that we take it to WP:AIV. In the meantime, we should try and improve the page as much as we can, while we've got the semi-protection! :) -Malkinann 23:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About the sniffycat Winx Club link you say has only one page
It has four more. You can see them if you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Please verify this information and let me know if it still is not acceptable. Thank you. http://sniffycat.freehostia.com/winx.htm
- I have reviewed the site and I still believe that the content is negligble its small content that "facts" which are easily surpassed by the official site and similar information contained at the 4Kids winx club site. It has been my stance in keeping with the wikipedias external link standards to maintain the winx club and to keep from being seized by fancruft which can plague articles like the winx club.--Kevin586 22:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for taking a second look. By the way, there's no need to be so mean and offensive about it.
[edit] You are watching Winx Club. Still ahead...

[edit] The complete list of episode titles in the Rainbow's English dub
Courtesy of http://www.cartoonnetworkindia.com, I could get the complete list of episode titles in the Rainbow's English dub of the third season. The titles in first and second seasons are supplied from http://magicofwinx.com. JSH-alive

[edit] The in-universe data
I think the in-universe data in the articles relating with Winx Club should mainly based on the version shown in Italy, using words and terms in the Rainbow’s English dub. Example here:
Bloom is… member of Winx[1]… Planet Domino[2]…
Notes and references
- The in-universe data in this article are based on the original version shown in Italy.
- The words and terms used in this article are from English language dub made by Rainbow S.p.A.
- ^ The meaning of the word Winx was changed in the edit of program made by 4Kids Entertainment as the magical powers of fairies rather than the meaningless word made by Bloom to refer the group.
- ^ Planet Domino is Called Planet Sparx in the edit made by 4Kids Entertainment.
[edit] Should 4Kids’ edit have its article?
If it should, I think the title of that article should be Editing of Winx Club made by 4Kids Entertainment. The article should begin with “4Kids Entertainment has edited most of non-American television series they imported.[proper citation] Winx Club, an animated television series made in Italy, has also been edited.[proper citation]” Moreover, the article should contain background of editing, critical responses, legal responses, and something except trivial things. JSH-alive
[edit] Response to JSH Alive suggestion of winx club article improvements.
It should go without saying that you are quite serious in your intention to improve the articles related to winx club. However, the objectives you have brought up do seem a dated: Almost all of the points you have brought have been mentioned or implemented since talkpage discussion I started on October 2006 in major rewrite. In order, I will respond to everything you have posted.
[edit] The complete list of episode titles in the Rainbow's English dub
For the most part, the episode listings are complete and see no need to add another list of episodes when the main article List of Winx Club episodes has more detailed content and space to expand if we could find additional editors. About the only thing I would like to see implimented in way of episodes are tables similar to List of South Park episodes.
[edit] The in-universe data
There has been mention of what version should be discussed in the talkpage discussion “Standards across different versions” and tacitly, conforming the article to the the italian version was chosen but was never fully implimented because the article is largely maintained by editors in north america and edits focus primarily on updating the article with the progess of the 4Kids Entertainment version. If you believe that you can go across all winx club articles updating and adding adding notes that of all differences, then by all means do it. please.
[edit] Should 4Kids’ edit have its article?
This matter was also discussed I do not think there any consensus on how to deal with regonal differences. In the winx club talkpage duscussion “October 2006 Article organization discussion, I think I was opposed to the article creation because it would only encourage unverifiable content and original research in the main article (I go into another discussion about the matter in the “May 2007 discussion of content..”). If you have read both the discussions, I hope you will understand why I would I like to have all current winx club related cleaned up before we even begin to think about creating new articles.
In general, there is alot to do: I have created article improvement discussions in the talkpage Bloom (Winx Club) and notice of major upcoming rewrite of the first season of the winx club that I hope will be applied to all the season articles. So long as your edits of constructive, I will not get in your way and perhaps I may even help you.--Kevin586 17:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kennyrevealed02.jpg

[edit] I revamped Season 1 list List of Winx Club episodes.
What do you think?--JSH-alive (talk)(cntrbtns)(mail me) 04:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Good job, I would say. I actually noticed it several days ago but I have been having problems getting access to a computer to do more than just e-mail.
- If you you like to fill out the north american broadcast dates, the winx club portion of www.michaelsfavorites.com should be a reliable source--Kevin586 (talk) 14:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC).

[edit] List of television series canceled after one episode
Please do not threaten an edit war, as you did with your hidden comment on List of television series canceled after one episode. If you are an admin (or even if you are not), you already know that such a threat is doubly discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines and policies. If there is repeated removal of Viva Laughlin despite its been canceled on Australia's Nine network, I'd suggest punching up the writing to emphasize it and de-emphasize its three-episode run on CBS.
