Persona 3 original title

Can I ask you why you changed the original title of Persona 3 from "Persona3" to "Persona 3"? I want to edit the P4 article, and I want to the real original titles of the game. --Shinra.Electric.Power.Company (talk) 00:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Titles

You recently asked how to italicize an article title. Add the template {{italic title}} near the top of the article. Station1 (talk) 07:22, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Shogi

Well, but the "main" article is Shogi, not shougi. Maybe to avoid confusion(?) it should be shogi and not shougi. For me it's the same though. --Hydao (talk) 14:18, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk pages

Hi. Note that talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, is considered bad practice, even if you meant it well. --Jtalledo (talk) 14:47, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Minor edits

Despatche, first off I'd just like to say great job on helping to clean back up the Novelty article. It obviously needed it and it looks great. Secondly, and it's only a "minor" issue, but it appears that you may be overusing the "minor edit" function. I should know, I had the same issue a couple of years ago. Remember that most of the edits you do should not be marked as minor, particularly the large edits that you seem to be good at. For more detail on this, please check WP:MINOR. Also, don't forget to include your edit summaries my friend. That all said, keep up the good work! ;) Buddy23Lee (talk) 21:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

OR, you could just disregard all the above regarding the minor edit function, as it appears you have. Fair enough, I bid you farewell with a well earned trout slapping...

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Good day to you sir. Buddy23Lee (talk) 22:07, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Micro Cabin

Hello Despatche. You've asked for a technical move of MicroCabin to Microcabin. From a quick Google search it seems to me that Micro Cabin is more common. For example, see and . If you agree, you could change your request. If you have doubts, it might be best to open up a move discussion. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:13, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Your move request for TinHead

I agree with you that 'Tinhead' fits the data better. But there is a clash of names. Lower case Tinhead is a redirect to Edington, Wiltshire and it appears to be legitimate. How would you feel about a move of TinHead to Tinhead (video game)? EdJohnston (talk) 17:15, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Your solution solves the ambiguity, but you don't really need to place hatnotes on the two articles. Especially the one at Tinhead (video game) isn't needed, because a hatnote from a disambiguated article to the generic one is kind of trivial. See WP:DAB: "There is no need to add disambiguation links to a page whose name already clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term." Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:43, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Truxton (video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arcade (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ristar's title

Why is it you feel that its name wouldn't be capitalized? Sergecross73 msg me 15:42, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Akibaranger

Do not unilaterally move pages without consent. As there is no material that uses "Hikonin" or "Hikounin" plastered in English, we should not use that as the page title on Misplaced Pages. If we were to not translate the word "Unofficial" then by all means the article should be located at "Hikōnin Sentai Akibaranger" as Misplaced Pages uses the Hepburn romanization system.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:29, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Do not unilaterally move pages without consent! Using a fake translation because "no English source uses the romaji" is the most brain-dead thing I've seen from Misplaced Pages yet. crunchyroll, or anyone else for that matter, can not and will not make up whatever translation they please and call that an "official title". You don't understand that what happens at Misplaced Pages gets spread everywhere else and becomes this so-called "official", NOT any other way around. English speakers need to learn some respect for non-English things before they try to comprehend them.
Now if you want to protect your precious macrons, feel free to do so. Despatche (talk) 09:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Stop moving the damn page. You made a bold move by moving it to "Hikounin" before and I moved it back to "Unofficial". That means per bold, revert, discuss, we should start a discussion as to what the title of the page should be (namely a requested move discussion). That does not mean that you move the page again to the "Hikōnin" variant. I've moved the page back to the status quo version. If you want to suggest that the article title be changed at this point, follow the instructions at WP:RM and do not continue to edit war or else you may be blocked in order to prevent disruption of the project.—Ryulong (琉竜) 10:41, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
By "plastered in English", I mean that there are no Japanese language sources that show that they use "HIKOUNIN SENTAI AKIBARANGER" or any variation when presenting anything in English language text, at least as far as I am aware. And please heed the request I have on my talk page and respond to my comments here rather than starting another section on my user talk. You are free to remind me to check back here with {{talkback}}, but I do not like having conversations on two separate pages because you treat it as a private messaging system rather than a threaded conversation.—Ryulong (琉竜) 10:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
The following photographs were taken at the Tamashii Features Vol. 3 event taking place March 31 and April 1, 2012, before Akibaranger was even broadcast: 1, , , , , . I don't see the English letters spelling out "HIKOUNIN" anywhere.—Ryulong (琉竜) 11:01, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Took you long enough! Thank you. Case closed.
Why didn't you just say "Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger" is used in Japan, and showed me these images immediately? Why did you have to be vague instead? Is this really so hard? Despatche (talk) 11:09, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Because I did not know they existed until I went searching for them.—Ryulong (琉竜) 12:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh.
Well.
Neither did I. :V
I don't know how I couldn't find them, I searched as hard as I could... Thank you very much. Despatche (talk) 13:30, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
I went to see if the Figuarts boxes had English text on them like I know some of the other ones do. And then I found all that crap from the promo event last year.—Ryulong (琉竜) 14:23, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help.
