This editor is reverting many good faith edits for unexplained reasons. Have you noticed? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have. But I don't quite know what to do. I talked with him first here and then here. But that didn't lead anywhere. He isn't argueing, just stating that he disagrees, and reverting my edits. What should I do? -- Goodraise (talk) 19:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just revert him on those pages. I'll watchlist them to see if he'll do it again. If he breaks WP:3RR, I'll file a report. Sound good? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, though he already broke that one on both of the pages in question: Baroque Works and The Three Great Powers. -- Goodraise (talk) 21:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I'll put in a full protection request. First, where did the consensus take place? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:43, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's a bit complicated... Most recently here: Talk:List of One Piece characters#Star Merge - Episode IV: A New Hope as well as a number of previous topics on the same talk page, including the archive (a lot to read), and partly here: Talk:One Piece#Cursed/Devil Fruits about the creation of World of One Piece. -- Goodraise (talk) 21:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I placed my vote in [1]. The articles have been added to my watchlist. Now Gune (talk · contribs) has been warned. Let's see if he tries it again. It'll be simpler requesting a block if it continues. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 22:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One Piece terms

Do you have any real objection to switching all of the Japanese terms to their English counterparts (i.e Shichibukai --> Seven Warlords of the Sea or whatever)? The terms in this site's articles really should make sense to the casual reader, while things like that really just appeal to the hardcore fan. TTN (talk) 18:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Objection, no, not really. I only see a difficulty there. The One Piece manga has an official translation, as well as the anime, which actually has three, which all seem seldom to agree on a term. Then there's the issue, that the manga is still ongoing and these pages are kept up to speed with the chapters released in Japan, hence causing things to be mentioned, which don't yet have an official translation. As far as I am concerned, I don't care wether it's "Seven Warlords of the Sea", "Seven Armed Seas", "Shichibukai" or whatever. But I also don't think that a casual reader will get a better understanding, from "Seven Warlords of the Sea" than from "Shichibukai", as the terms both aren't very descriptive and I dare say even missleading. (I don't know, if I have to elaborate this, as I don't know how deep, if at all, you are into the story.) Personally, I think it's best to use the romanized terms and explaining what they are, as the "official" terms are only known to those reading the manga or watching the show anyways, putting them more in the corner of fans and less in that of the real casual reader.

If you're asking wether I'd oppose a switch, then the answer is "no". But I wouldn't back it up either. It would probably only cause more chaos than there is already in the One Piece articles. (Not to mention all the links and redirects...) -- Goodraise (talk) 18:48, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With a series like this, I guess you can only go so far with helping the reader. In the very least, "Seven Warlords" conveys that they are seven strong guys without having to follow a separate link. Even if it'll be awkward, it's something that needs to be done eventually. The anime project recently backed the same kind of thing with Dragon Ball series, with the English anime names and terms taking precedent. Whatever can be considered the most popular is what would we would use (though that may entail changing Zoro to Zolo, ect). Japanese terms will probably just use the best possible English translation (unless you can find anything specific about it). I'll definitely wait to do anything major after the pages are settled. TTN (talk) 19:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are FOUR english translations! ODEX, VIZ, 4Kids and FUNIMATION! Use the universal Japanese names for the sake of the arguments involving those four DIFFERENT translations being questioned. 92.232.91.192 (talk) 18:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The animanga MoS is pretty clear on this, official translations from the media which contributed most to the series' popularity are to be used ("If there are multiple official titles, use the one that is best known and that has contributed most to the work's becoming known in the broader English-speaking world."). —Dino guy 1000 19:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: One Piece AfD comment

"I don't know what you're implying here, but being the one who did most (step forward if you disagree) of that cleanup, and also being the one who suggested putting this article up for deletion, instead of simply truning the page into a redirect, without saving anything of it's conent, I'd like to point out, that I consider this AfD to be part of that cleanup process."

I wasn't trying to imply anything, really. Because TTN (talk · contribs) had also nominated a large number of other articles for deletion over just a couple of days' time, I had assumed (I've got to stop doing that... *knuckles head*) that he nominated this list just to get rid of it (not that I'm saying it didn't need gotten rid of, of course), and that he was unaware of the previous cleanup push. That being said, I am unaware of any of the details of this cleanup myself, as I have unwatchlisted a number of high-traffic articles since I started working, and never watched the One Piece-related articles particularly closely anyways. The only reason I even knew of the cleanup is because I kept {{One Piece}} on my watchlist, and have seen articles being removed from the template one by one. —Dino guy 1000 19:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. :) -- Goodraise (talk) 22:23, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

...for removing my double post on Talk:List of One Piece episodes. I'm sorry if a Wikimedia server error (which I encountered yesterday morning) unexpectedly caused this to happen. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 09:35, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't mention it. :) -- Goodraise (talk) 10:15, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

one piece minor characters

on the in-universe, out-universe why does it matter which it is? wouldnt an in-universe grouping of characters give the reader more knowledge and be easier to read and understand for readers for example haveing the groups say, the supernovas, watergate7 carpentors, shandrona warriors, for examples that would be around 20 characters and be much more infomation on what groups the characters and less info on the invidual, this would make it easier to understand whose who, be able to find and link infomation much better, also work better with characters that would need an explantion of but not there own section.
