[edit] Shi means death (?)

I am pretty sure it does--I think we can remove the ?, unless the ? is meant to represent the Japanese character, which, unfortunately, I do not know. Given many references in the Battletech universe to the 'shi' particle as death, I wouldn't doubt it for a second. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 161.253.23.172 (talk) 05:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

Its not actually a question mark - it is the Japanese character for Death. Without language support it turns appear as a ?. (Emperor 01:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Formatting and removal of content

To Sllamky01 (talk · contribs), I have reverted the changes you most recently made to this article. I'm not sure why, but you have removed the standard Wikipedia formatting from the article (bolding of subject title, internal links to relevant articles, etc.). Since you are new here, you may wish to check out some of the links within the welcome message on your talk page. They explain this formatting along with many other topics. Also, I see that in your last edit summary you note that you are working toward a different complete version of the page. I suggest that you work on this in a sandbox area, either the main sandbox or one that you attach to your user page. Then you can cut and paste it to this article when it is complete (presumably with the standard Wiki formating). Also, I'm not sure why you deleted some of the information that was in the article. Is there a problem with the content? Glancing at it, I don't see anything controversial or inaccurate, but if there is, please discuss it here on the talk page. Anyhow, welcome to Wikipedia and happy editing! :) --GentlemanGhost 01:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

FYI: I have been addressing the issue as I go on their talk page. I'm on 2 reverts so am having to step back from that angle. (Emperor 01:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] My apologies

Emperor and GentlemanGhost my Apologies I was not trying to step on anyone’s toes. The edits that I am making are at the Request of Billy Tucci. The creator of Shi. Some of the links that I have tried to remove are just not appropriate or needed updating. But I understand I am new and did not know all of the rules. I will do a bit more reading tomorrow. And give it another try. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sllamky01 (talk • contribs) 02:18, 13 June 2007

No problem. We're willing to work with you. Cheers, GentlemanGhost 22:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shi Sashimoto.jpg

Image:Shi Sashimoto.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. 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.
