Some requests

Thank you kindly for improving those articles of Michelle Cheung and R.O.D recently. One thing i really hate, though, is unnecessary and boring references like the ones you add. And now, i ask you some favors if yo don't mind since i know your edits is good.

1. If you don't mind, could you improve some informations on those articles of Madlax and Noir' characters i made recently, that is if you've watched them.

2. Could you improve the List of R.O.D the TV episodes i made so that it can be promoted as an FL? It lacks of informations and references a lot.

3. If you don't mind now, but i think those references on Michelle Cheung are really absurb, sorry if i bother you. But can you kindly improve them a bit, or remove them. OgasawaraSachiko (Talk), 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ogasawara, I agree there needs to be some cleanup to be done. I went overboard in my over-enthusiasm! But I don't know if I want to remove them completely. The original purpose was to actually clean up the text--rather than say, "In the manga she does this and in the TV she does that" just cite where it happed in a numeric reference so it doesn't clutter the text. The other purpose is to avoid edit wars.... the annoying thing about these anime pages are that people change the content based on their perceptions of the characters rather than what actually happens. Citing the episode where something is proven eliminates this. However, I think this can be reduced to only things that are really controversial or need to be proven (such as the spelling of Michelle's name, which does apparently spark arguments from time to time).

I will work on it when I have time, or feel free to put in some edits yourself. I can't do it immediately but will try to do it by the end of April.

As for the List of Episodes -- sure, I'll definitely take a look when I have time--again, hopefully within a couple weeks. The list helped me when trying to remember what happened in which episode, so glad to help in return. DeathQuaker (talk) 13:45, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I've readed your message, sorry i didn't know you were having a surgery. Anyway, i just added the category fictional detectives and Hong Kong characters for each. But in your opinions, will it be fine if i add fictional clones? The three sisters are kinda artificial. OgasawaraSachiko (talk), 15:21 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm doing much better. I think the detectives and Hong Kong character additions are a good idea. I noticed another editor removed the "fictional clone" category. I think it's probably best left that way--technically, none of the sisters are actually clones (clones are exact or near-exact copies of an organism created by inserting that being's genetic material into a genetically blank ovum). Anita is a test tube baby made from genetic material provided by "the British Library's best Paper Masters" -- indicating she has multiple "parents" and is not a copy. Michelle and Maggie are existing, once "normal" humans who were genetically altered (at least, that's the way Junior put it).

Now, the Nancys, on the other hand, are clones of Mata Hari who have been additionally genetically engineered to have superpowers. Complicated, isn't it? Maybe for simplicity's sake we forget the whole thing for now. :) But continuing to add other existing Wiki categories is definitely a good idea. DeathQuaker (talk) 20:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, i see what you mean, i just review the anime and i understand, thanks. About the list of episodes, if you don't mind, could you add some references for it.OgasawaraSachiko (talk), 00:03 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Not sure how I can provide any references, as all that's there are plot summaries, which are taken directly from the episodes cited--there are no outside references to cite. The only thing that might need a source cited is for the airdates, but I don't have that information, and frankly, unfortunately, do not have the time to look that information up. The person who created or added that info (which I thought was you???) should be the person responsible for providing the references. Sorry. DeathQuaker (talk) 03:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Yomiko Readman Page

What I want is a reliable, third-party, published source, yes, I can go and identify the anime myself, yet you cannot go ask every reader to do so. If a picture could be given, that would be alright, yet trivia sections are not encouraged anyway. Also, visual similarity are normally discouraged to be placed in articles, usually a secondary source stating specifically the appearance would be better and BTW, her outfit is a typical Japanese librarian uniform with an outcoat.

Orphaned non-free media (File:EPAtitle.png)

Thanks for uploading File:EPAtitle.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:25, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
