UC Template

Hey. I noticed the discussion, but was too lazy to add something there. It looked unacceptable; I'll add to the discussion now. --Yath 15:04, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Rurouni Kenshin

Allyunion, the Viz manga uses the Eastern way, because this is a historical manga. WhisperToMe 03:13, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC) What I meant was that the wapuro style that was used in the article should be replaced by macrons. Sure enough, they were. WhisperToMe 04:06, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Video game music lists

Please see my concerns posted at Talk:List of video game music. I am hoping that you can make sense of those lists, since you were involved in creating them. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 20:38, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Video Game List

Good work, if we get ambitious about wikifying it, it maybe a good idea to have the link go to each video game's sound tract section. I believe you can do this by going Template:Article Here with square brackets. If you know how to do it perhaps do a few so people know what to do, I'll try looking up how to do it also. It is a pretty exhaustive list, hopefully it will be useful :). See you, --ShaunMacPherson 17:33, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Re:Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion_archive_May_2004

I did it on purpose. That site holds the page history of vfd before May 2004 because the very lengthy page history was causing problems with the software. Other than that, it serves no other purpose so the note that remains is to indicate that. --Jiang 19:22, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Oh, there was no note about the change. --[[User:Allyunion|AllyUnion (Talk)]] 02:48, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Cerritos, California Request for Expansion

Just curious -- athough there are still a few things that could be added to the Cerritos article (e.g. the Performing Arts Center), it is pretty complete, and way beyond most city articles. Is the Request for Expansion still needed? [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 06:00, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

There is an amount of rich history that hasn't been included into the article that could be easily be provided by a local historian... or some extensive research. That's all really the article needs. --[[User:AllyUnion|AllyUnion (talk)]] 10:17, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Metapicstub

Would be happy to add image size, but don't know where it should go. Can you point me to an example? jengod 07:47, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

All those images sound good! Will keep an eye out. :) jengod 08:54, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

Cultural bias

After seeing the cultural bias thingie way back in the Wikipedia discussion for naming order for Jap. names, Wikipedia IS "culturally biased" in the sense that it favors Anglophone conventions. E.G. the Middle East is an Anglophone term. WhisperToMe 06:21, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

That may be true, but I had the notion that most Encyclopedias write about people Last Name, First Name for indexing purposes. -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:25, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Yes, most do, but Wikipedia will never because there is no will to make all names SN, GN. Wikipedia is not paper. WhisperToMe 05:51, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'm still not changing my vote. If the vote still swings in favor to SN GN for Japanese names, all the better. Aside from the cultural bias, there would be good question as to where the honorific endings go... if we go either way. (Obviously the SN, but some people might accidently use the GN... which is disrespectful.) -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:36, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Problem is, many Japanese themselves have adopted the GN-FN naming order when their name is written in roman characters. Also, the Prince of Tennis characters seen here (http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/tennipri/chara1.html) have their name written GN FN. GN FN is NOT insulting to many Japanese as Japan itself is more Westernized than China (e.g. Mao Zedong is almost always seen FN-GN) WhisperToMe 18:11, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks again for the flower. So sweet.

In Template:Math-stub and User:Msh210/ms, you changed mathematics-related article to mathematical-related article. I don't think you're correct, and I commented on the change at each Talk page: Math-stub, Msh210/ms.msh210 18:06, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
