The Race has not visited these islands yet so why list that on the article? Do we list countries not visited on the page? the answer is no. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:49, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Netherlands is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands which includes several overseas territories. Why should we not point out that the mainland has only been visited?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:54, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I understand that after all I am majoring in Geography, but the difference between the other territories being listed and the ABC Islands, is that the ABC Islands have yet to be visited while the other have. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 04:47, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why should we not point out that the Netherlands is the only territory of the Kiingdom of the Netherlands that the racers have visited?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Because it has been visited, unlike the others who have not been. Do we list all the countries that haven't been visited? No. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 00:22, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I really think that Pokemon Black and White should be a GA, but I don't want to nominate it and be stuck with all the work, or have to explain why some things are the way they are. Would you be willing to help? I asked at the Project Pokemon talkpage two days ago, but got no response. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 01:58, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I on't do GA stuff.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:02, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Ok, but when it gets nominated, you are definitely going to have to answer some questions. You are the main contributor of the article, and have written most of its content. I just wanted to let you know in advance. Whenever I get the time, I want to nominate it. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 02:12, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All right. I just don't know how this stuff works is all.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:29, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

They're all the same characters within the same continuity. Besides, it's no different to all the Sentai vs. movies.Fractyl (talk) 20:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gokaiger is a special case and we are not editing every single Super Sentai character listing to include their cameo in Gokaiger. End of discussion.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:33, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I dunno if you noticed, but France is absent from the TAR Australia map, lol 174.1.48.24 (talk) 09:16, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you might like to know about this Medal Tree diagram. I checked and it's suppose to be related to the series' storyline.72.184.129.252 (talk) 03:50, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was realized that this user trying to perpetrating me on edits at America's Next Top Model, Cycle 17 and added with Top Model history section without explanation. I had left the article's talk page to get warned.

The user said it to me on an unexplained revert edit: "Survivor, The Amazing Race and Big Brother all have a similar tables. You(ApprenticeFan) probably didn't know, but this is necessary whenever an all-star season occurs. If you continue you will be reported for disruptive editing." Could you please revert it back and no Top Model history in contestants section of the article just like your contributions at The Amazing Race 11 and The Amazing Race 18.

Ryulong- Would you please weigh in at Template talk:Nihongo#A suggested change to template Nihongo? (Guyinblack25 ^talk 13:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Dear Ryulong-san,

This is Kmns tsw.

The article of Romanization says "Methods of romanization include transliteration, for representing written text, and transcription, for representing the spoken word." But there were no known method of transliteration, and I have believed EHS is the first and only one.

There are three documents at Halcat.com. The title of the first one is proposal, but gradually I have come to think that I only found it. And I was right. 朝河貫一博士 had tried transliteration in his 入來文書 the Documents of Iriki (Yale University, 1929), and his method was identical with EHS described in the first document (proposal).

My report on the method of Dr. ASAKA`A Kwan'ichi (usually spelled Kan'ichi ASAKAWA) is at the end of [「頂門の一針」に書いたこと（六）].

As for the confusion of Romanization systems of Japanese, please go to [文化廳の外國人のためのハンドブックの方式] , select English version and go to the chaper 4, a separate PDF file. At page 37 (numero 165). Voila the treatment of the so called long vowels.

Sincerely yours, Kmns tsw (talk) 05:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These sources do not use the Hepburn romanization system that we use on Wikipedia. They double all long vowels, regardless of the way that the long vowels are written in hiragana. This information does not help, particularly because it looks like an elementary school textbook.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:58, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Dr. ASAKAWA Kan'ichi (ASAKA`A Kwan'ichi in EHS), the most eminent Japansese historian in the pre-war world wrote in the index to his Documents of IRIKI (Yale University 1929) under the title of Transliteration:

Our system of writing follows the one that has long since been current in writing in English except in one respect: we have employed zh for the sonant for sh, and j for that of chi, instead of using j for both, as is generally done. The distinction is always important in the written Japanese; though in speech it is disregarded in the greater part of the contry, it is strictly observed in Kyū-shū. Zh should be pronounced like z and s in "azure," "usual," and "fusion"; j is the same as the English j and soft g.

He didn't mention dz, the sonant symbol of ts. Dz is not a a digraph but just a juxtaposition of two letters so he must have not deemed it necessary to proclaim the use.

You can ascertain the use of both dz and zh in the table of contents of the document at Historiographical Institute University of Tokyo, as

6. Appointments of Shimadzu Tadahisa.

25. Petition of Koku-bun zhi

Kmns tsw (talk) 13:27, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These are not documents that concern what we have described on Wikipedia as the Hepburn system of romanization, as developed by James Curtis Hepburn. I do not care about the absence of the "dz" sound or the "zh" sound. We use a system that has nothing to do with what you're telling me so kindly do not bring it up to me again because I cannot understand what you are trying to convey to me because you are clearly not a native English speaker.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:55, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to make sure you noticed this; Anthony opened a move discussion instead of just moving it, please see Talk:Noitamina#Move.3F and discuss there. Thanks! ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 23:49, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aha. Also, one more reason for me to get MOSTM removed from the site it seems.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

I can see both sides of that one. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 00:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ryulong. I have numerous sources confirming that the english release date Victini and the Dark Hero as well as Victini and the Light Hero are to be released on November, 25 2011. I just wanted to get your opinion if I should post it yet. Thanks. cyberpower (talk) 23:59, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can't do anything until it's officially confirmed.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. cyberpower (talk) 01:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While we are on the topic. I figured that you may be interested that I had started a topic about renaming Mangaka to an English equivalent a few days ago. Input on exactly what the new name should be would be helpful. —Farix (t | c) 00:50, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will consider it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Good day. I have declined your request of db-R3 on this page because it was originally created in 2009, before you moved it to another location, and thus does not really qualify as being recently created. It is possible that this old spelling is now stuck in some inbound external links. WP:Redirects for Discussion would be the place to list this. Regards, --Taelus (talk) 14:26, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Similar reason for my decline at Uchū Keiji Tamashī. The page existed in 2006 before your move, so again it could be stuck in some inbound external links, so would be better being listed at WP:RFD so this can be looked into. Thanks, --Taelus (talk) 14:31, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:42, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

I've come across User:Hunter Bradley creating some actor articles. Looking at his talk pages, it looks like you have had a fun-filled-time with him before. He has created some mighty dubious articles. Jacinda Stevens's acting career is playing in one episode of Power Ranges. Others have more acting experience, but look iffy. Another editor has labeled one a speedy delete and I labeled Jacinda Steven's article as speedy delete. As you are a Power Ranger expert, could you look at the others and see if they are ok? Bgwhite (talk) 05:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've tagged them all as db-a7 because they're just shit articles.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

I have challenged a number of your WP:CSD A7s on the articles. To survive an A7 requires only that a claim of importance be made, even if that claim is unlikely to meet the notability guidelines. Being an actor in a television show is enough of a claim. I would suggest using an alternative deletion process if you think the articles should be deleted. Monty₈₄₅ 15:45, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Our favourite editor just created Jacinda Steven's again. I put a warning on his page and a Speedy on Steven's page. Bgwhite (talk) 06:04, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The list of Pokemon Black and White episodes aren't being updated at all. I don't know what the official sources for the Japanese air dates are bu I am sure that High Speed! Battle Subway!! Parts 1 and 2 are to air this coming Thursday. Can you help me out? cyberpower (talk) 11:08, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They should only be updated when we have sources that prove that things are going to happen. If the official website has the episodes listed, I will update the list. Otherwise, we should not add information without a source. Just because Serebii says something is going to happen does not mean we should report on it as early as they do.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:07, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I know that. The thing is, all of the sources I typically get Pokemon episodes from, suddenly stopped like there's a Pokemon strike or something. Thanks though. cyberpower (talk) 22:28, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You could try to update all of the previously aired episodes' summaries while you're at it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

There was a second part of High Speed! Battle Subway!! that seemed to have aired alongside with Part 1. I take it that it was either a surprise or meant to be an hour long episode. SimpsonsMan1234 (talk) 14:22, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Japan's counting it as one hour long special.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:11, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your help for fixing the grammar issues in my summaries. I will add new summaries once I get my hand on the episodes. BTW, numerous sources are confirming the air date for the movies to be December 3 which would make sense. I'm not going to add anything yet, until it's officially confirmed. Are you excited for the movies? cyberpower (talk) 21:32, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We already have the movie's broadcast dates somewhere. It's just not for the infobox because we have the Japanese release date. And I really do not care either way about the films.—Ryulong (竜龙) 22:18, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Fourze Modules #11-15 are featured in the Ganbaride game. Should they be added into the article? ~Marvelous2011~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 20:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hold off on adding them.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm just wondering whether it's necessary to put ⋐⋑ around the leg numbers if one of the two Double U-Turns was not used. It feels a little like extraneous information to me. 174.1.48.24 (talk) 23:05, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We still have to show that it was a 2x U-Turn rather than a normal U-Turn.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:51, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I think Basco deserves his own page, as he is not directly involved with Zangyack. ~Marvelous2011~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 20:39, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is not notable enough on his own. It is easier to keep him listed with the Zangyack as he was hired by them.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:00, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

But he is completely different from them. ~Marvelous2011~ ( ★ AlienX2009 ★ ) 21:14, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is fine for now.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 21:41, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

One person has suggested that I should submit edits to the episode talk pages for group improvement before committing. Would that work for you?Fractyl (talk) 16:37, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Make a subpage, and I'll watch it, and direct some of the others to watch it as well. Cluttering up the talk page with lengthy summaries won't work in the long run.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:37, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

We're not changing the summary I wrote up because mine is fine. If you write a summary for this week's episodes, we will work on those.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:20, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

But the summary's not accurate. Plus, you went a bit overboard with too much information that could be used elsewhere.Fractyl (talk) 20:30, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The summary is accurate enough. And I am going to get someone to rewrite it. I am leaving you a detailed message on how we are going to proceed.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:32, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd hate to ask this, but could you please not report his socks to AIV? One, it's not the right place to do so. Two, how can we block someone if you just say "this has to be mascot guy, please block", some evidence is needed. I know about WP:DENY, but some info would be nice you know.

It was the easiest thing to do and would get the quickest response. And this is his MO. And there's nothing to deny.

Firstly, I would like you to be a bit less aggressive with me. Secondly, wikipedia is an encyclopedia that EVERYONE can edit and improve. I have the impression that the changes on your english page are only according to your tastes. It's not because it looks only better on the french wiki page that I changed the annotation, it's because it takes less space. Thirdly, in the french wikipedia page, as you told me to, I added a reference to the english page in the reference section at the bottom. Finally, on the map in the race summary section, would it be better if you added Yogyakarta after Jakarta or let it like this?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Orfeoedeuridice (talk • contribs)

Fine. Everyone can improve it, but it doesn't mean that it actually is improved. Good. And no, because Jakarta and Yogyakarta are too close together to matter.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:21, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh, Yogyakarta isn't as close as I thought. It is being fixed.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:35, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ryulong, just dropping by to mention that the ratings for the US Table are currently wrong, the person has sourced from Zaptoit but according to TVBythenumbers final ratings for Sunday, The Amazing Race only got 10.87 million not 13 million as it says on the ratings table for Episode 2, see here http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/10/04/sunday-final-ratings-desperate-housewives-pan-am-adjusted-up-unscrambled-amazing-race-the-good-wife/105907/ just wondering if you could correct the table please? As IP users can't edit at the moment, so I can't change lol82.15.8.146 (talk) 23:13, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will add this, but just remember that you can ask anyone to do it on the talk page by using {{edit requested}}. Also, you could sign up for an account.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:00, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

There's no need to use CAPITALISED WORDS in an edit summary; the info is already sourced further down the page, anyhoo. Ironholds (talk) 23:48, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't sourced when I was putting that in. I had like a crapload of edit conflicts to go through.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:49, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ryulong,

I have recommended that Great Leader (Kamen Rider) be merged into Kamen Rider. If you are willing, feel free to complete the merger. As a side note, I like your userboxes; after seeing the ones on your userpage, I decided to use some myself.
