D-CON(anime convention)

You apparently recently deleted the page about the anime convention, D-CON. This was due to A7 which i believe was lack of notability or something. Where notability of the evnt is concerned - The event was the ONLY free anime convention in the UK and also was the biggest one in Scotland. (with attendance of 350 compared to "Auchinawa"s 300) I am completely shocked and confused that it was deleted. Please clear this up for me.

Thanks

I'm sorry, but if this convention does not have any mainstream press or major guests, then it is not notable for inclusion on Misplaced Pages.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know what you want for "mainstream" press. It was in Dundee University Press, local papers and on several webpages (including Forbidden Planet and Neo Magazine.) As for notable guests... Realtime worlds - well known games company - creators of "crackdown" for XBOX were included in the event performing talks and Q+A sessions. Ross Burt, EA concept designer and author of "Astro Funk" comic was exhibiting. Yishan Li - a professional manga artist with books on sale in the UK, America, China and Europe, was one of the exhibiting artists. Borders bookstore attended and sponsored the event and there were several other notable guests also. I don't know what else you could possible want!? Also to mention once again it was the most well attended anime convention in Scotland and the only free anime convention in the UK.

If it's covered by a national or international newspaper, that's mainstream.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

But do you not clearly agree that it is a notable event? I really cant see why you would not allow a page for it. Do you have something against it?

I don't see anything about national or international newspaper coverage on AmeCon, Minami Con (who had less importance/coverage than D-CON) or on Tomo-Dachi (who had smaller attendance than D-CON) just to name a few pages which fall into the same category you deleted D-CON under then...

I saw D-CON's page and made the decision. If those pages fall under the same criteria, they're gone, too.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 11:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Notability is a guideline not a policy. Also CSD is only for clearcut cases. The article should have been kept. --§hawnhath 13:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

And I used the guideline to guide my decision. There was zero coverage for the conventions whose articles I deleted. Most of it was their own website.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:12, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I was looking at the log and noticed that 24.73.17.181 was notified by being blocked for 24hrs by Esanchez7587 but was blocked for 1 month without notification by Ryulong. Can someone please explain this. --§hawnhath 13:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Gripe about anonymous users... again

I may have expressed my anger about anonymous users making edits on this site before and I have to do it again as I'm really annoyed at the crappy edits I've seen with Decade and Shinkenger, especially 76.115.82.54 who vandalised the Shinkenger page with utter garbage albeit it got reverted quickly.

I really think just registered members of Misplaced Pages should make edits on articles, not anonymous ones (although a few make decent edits). What do you feel about this? And can you do anything about it since your one of the admins of this site? --Burai (talk) 21:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, a lot of stuff has been happening lately. I've had to deal with vandalism to the Kamen Rider templates from someone in Singapore who thinks that there's going to be a Blade Knight. Seems like a fanfic, but it's getting to be a pain in the ass. Some IP edits are beneficial, but if things get really bad, again, I'll semiprotect the pages as I did to several of the Blade pages.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I remember I wanted the Kamen Rider KIva page to be semi-protected when somebody vandalised that page when the show was just new. And where the hell did the Singaporean person think there'll be "Blade Knight"? I do not know but I'm certain he's just being stupid like most other anonymous users. And I can agree with a few anonymous users making beneficial edits, especially some that find new stuff about Kiva, Decade and Shinkenger. --Burai (talk) 08:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but the various Blade pages and templates are protected for a month...or three.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 08:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

IP blocking

Hello, on the 17th of March you blocked this IP, this IP and this IP one after the other. None of them have any visible edits, regardless an automatic one month block seems to be excessive given the only reason you gave was vandalism. Can you please explain these blocks otherwise i will assume you have learnt nothing from this and that would be a terrible shame. By the way, i do concur with what most people have said at that venue. Please read it, understand it and become a better editor. 211.30.96.181 (talk) 10:03, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Each IP has multiple deleted edits. JPG-GR (talk) 19:49, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Indeed.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

And in those deleted edits, they show the IPs all filling Template talk:Kamen Rider Blade with a bunch of nonsense (I believe I also cleaned the history of Template:Kamen Rider and Template:Kamen Rider Blade of similar edits).—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Notification of Request for Arbitration

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Ryulong and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks, Synergy 01:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

That is one ugly looking box.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

What can I say? It came with the statement. Synergy 01:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

But why bother with the template at all?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

You're my first arbitration case Ryulong. I was only following the instructions. Synergy 01:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

That "don't template the regulars" thing never went through, did it?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:48, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Mmmm. Thats for warnings and such, not for notifications. If you have an issue with the template, you should request it be changed on the arbitration talk page I assume. But I get your angle. Synergy 01:53, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The icon could use some work.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:55, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
