Lucia Black

Just a heads up that, as a result of this discussion at ANI, User:Lucia Black has had an interaction ban imposed on them on interactions with you for a period of three months. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:59, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

It is a somber moment for me. I acknowledge that I was unable to reconcile our differences and hope that after several months we may be able to work constructively in this area. I will however try to sanitize and keep all future interactions as civil and professional, to minimize conflict. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:22, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

• Good response, and I was pleased that you didn't rejoin the debate when it flared up again. You should have some peace and quiet for 3 months now, and who knows, maybe after that time Lucia will have calmed down, got herself together, and you'll be able to work with each other. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:19, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

• I hope so. I can go back to to focusing on the content improvements for the time being, this whole matter really was soul-sucking. I didn't want to poke the matter or make it worse; if I can't fix it myself, I have really no right to advocate a solution. If things do not change in 3 months, I will not get bogged down in another dispute and promptly go to DRN or Mediation or another proper venue. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 12:46, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

An article you voted for deletion was recreated and recently it has been nominated for deletion again

Template:Nihongo and related

When you built up the title section of Ghost in the Shell, you made a couple mistakes. The first field is always the English or the phrase you don't want italicized. The second field is always the Japanese text. The third field is always the romanization. In one case you put "Japanese", "Romanization", "English", which screwed up the display and in one instance you wrapped only one latin phrase in {{nihongo}}.—Ryulong (琉竜) 18:49, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. Also, the source was the book not the DVD. Could I ask your thoughts about the future of these articles. I've been working on a sandbox of the just the manga. Would you be willing to take a quick view of that? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:05, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

I thought I made it very clear to you that "Ghost in the Shell (manga)" is not going to exist again.—Ryulong (琉竜) 08:18, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

It will be handled at DRN. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 10:42, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

And now that there's one less dissenting voice you feel you will get your way? I've also toned down your additions to the article, as it is way too much detail and way too much redundant information. The casting details are not necessary. You can easily say both films are directed by Oshii rather than saying it twice. And we already know Shirow wrote the manga.—Ryulong (琉竜) 11:44, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Stay off my page. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 11:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of FLCL

The article FLCL you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:FLCL for things which need to be addressed.

Re: Lucky Star (anime)

Regarding this, first I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that you'll be able to build up the article into something worthwhile, which is why I did a bit of copyediting on it. However, I would like you to clarify where you plan on taking the article. Are you trying to do something like at Dragon Ball Z? Or Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex? I merely do not want an incomplete article, or an article that has little to no chance of improving beyond Start or C class. WP:AVOIDSPLIT is generally my philosophy about splitting articles, as you may already be aware per our previous exchanges. I am not always against a split, but I generally need to be shown some evidence that a split was warranted. Also, what is your view on List of Lucky Star episodes? If there is going to be a Lucky Star (anime) article, should the episode list eventually be merged into that article so all the anime info is in one place? If most of the anime's info will go onto Lucky Star (anime) anyway, I doubt the episode list could be expanded any further without merely being a content fork of that article.--十八 05:48, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Was hoping to use a collapsed list for the episodes if it was really bad. Not sure why the Spin-off is listed there currently. But yes, I want to fill out the content with proper production, release and analysis and such. I think it would be appropriate to have a small character list included with the cast for Japanese/English VAs included. I'm don't want to leave it as a mere split, I intend to expand it considerably. Just have been very busy. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:53, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

That was another concern of mine; you are always very busy and I feel you are wearing yourself too thin by trying to work on so many projects at the same time, while simultaneously dealing with all the controversy you tend to spur up. I've noticed that you tend to move from project to project, doing some work, but then moving on to something else before long, never really completing anything in the process, and leaving things half-finished, such as what you said of Dragon Ball Z here. I just don't want to look back 5 years down the road and see a large amount of stagnant articles that were never improved beyond start class.--十八 06:12, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

It is particularly difficult given the atmosphere surrounding the project, I can't simply work and get things done on the time table I want. It is drama if anything. It drives off the editors and vast amounts of content are being lost. This project is self-destructive, and no one seems to realize what is being done - much less take stock in their actions. If DBZ languishes from my ideal, so be it, the article is useful. The "controversy" you say I stir up is bucking against the deep rooted problems of this project. Such problems existed for years and A&M has a demonstrated history of crumbling coverage and articles. Instead of caretakers, a sizable group of the active editors continue to delete and destroy pages while lamenting the lack of interest in the project. Never is the concern of the readers put forth; only this streamlined ideal - you can see the illogic of those propositions. Can't you? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:16, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Only if such content can be proven to exist should an article be created. I was thinking about it, and the main reason why the project turned out this way had to do with there being stub articles created for branch media which did not contain anything substantial and/or did not satisfy WP:GNG, so the vast majority of such articles were merged, because there was no production, analysis, or reception. Most of the time, most such branch articles would be discouraged unless they can stand on their own. The fact of the matter is, 99% of IPs don't have access to such content, and most registered users don't either, so articles up until now have generally been written with the content that's available. So I don't think it had to do with deletionism or exclusionism; the content (production, analysis, reception, etc.) was simply not there. If you can show that Lucky Star (anime) has such content, then more power to you, but I doubt the rest of Lucky Star's media would have such content available, especially the manga and video games, so I don't see those being expanded very much aside from say a list of chapters for the manga.--十八 20:41, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Merge discussion for Air conditioner inverter

An article that you have been involved in editing, Air conditioner inverter, has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. N2e (talk) 17:07, 6 August 2013 (UTC) I just proposed merging two articles on the same topic: Air conditioner inverter and another entitled Inverter compressor.

Evangelion

Hello. I write to you following your most recent contributions to the "Evangelion" debate over at WT:ANIME.

I have to say I have not seen any of the "immature personal attacks" that you attribute to Ryulong, nor do I agree that (s)he would be "incapable of engaging in the consensus". As such, I have to tell you that you do not come off as particularly civil when you reduce Ryulong's arguments to nothing more than "immature personal attacks", and you don't seem open to compromise when you say that "such merges are unquestionably detrimental", or that "view arguments are invalid" without trying to understand them.

That was not the first time in this debate that you've misinterpreted opposite arguments and any proposition of change as "attacks" directed at you personally or at the subject itself, and you have to understand this isn't the right way to debate. You seem to be too much personally/emotionally involved, and that led you to misinterpret the debate as an attempt to delete Evangelion from Misplaced Pages.

I understand that things can get complicated when dealing with pop culture subjects with higher than usual personal involvment from editors (since these subjects often hold a special place in the editors' life), however my view is that you have brought needless drama to the issue, which could have been resolved much earlier without all the fuss.

I see you've been involved very recently in a serious conflict with Lucia Black (I don't know anything of the case besides what can be read now at WT:ANIME), and I think that you may not currently be in the right mindset to have a peaceful and civil debate. Given that I find it quite difficult to have a constructive interaction with you, maybe you could take a step back in order for you to feel less involved, and to put the conflict with Lucia Black behind you.

But I have nothing personal against you, and I'd be happy to continue debating with you if you could just keep a civil tone and avoid accusing others of personal attacks when there are none.Folken de Fanel (talk) 17:22, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
