Apology
I know that we are getting into the bad start and I apologized about all of the misunderstanding. It's just that I was, you know, jealous about all the praise that the Villains Wiki has more than the Heroes Wiki. I was trying to bring more contributors to join the Heroes Wiki. Again, so very sorry about copying from most of your sources. Do you ever forgive me? I won't do it again?--AlexHoskins (talk) 01:48, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

Lightning confirmed
I know Magnet Release has been a heated topic around here but me saying its speculation is correct and was a valid reason to bring up as even Seel noted the similarities in the situation. The way you replied was very intimidating and out of character to what a mod should act like. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 20:17, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * I completely understand where your coming from in attempting to stop magnet release causing unnecessary drama. Ive completely stayed out of the discussions involving it and just accepted that's its wind/earth and Gaara's not a user. The only thing i was against in the databook was Tobi's name but im cool with it now. Just wanted to give you the heads up because if i was a new user not knowing you, i would swear you had it in for me. But again, apology accepted :) --Sarutobii2 (talk) 22:30, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

re: cumbersome articles
It occurs to me I didn't respond to your message. Most of the wiki follows a picture-per-paragraph policy. I don't agree with it, but at this point I don't see what can be done about it directly.

Indirectly, the number of paragraphs can be reduced by shortening sections. Each paragraph would probably continue to have its own picture, but if there are fewer paragraphs then there are, overall, fewer pictures. Problem solved? ~SnapperTo 20:22, January 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's not an official policy. It's just so common around the wiki that it's basically de facto.
 * I wouldn't say sections should be "as brief as possible", because it's possible to make the whole section only a paragraph long. But they can be shorter than they are. To use an example:
 * In the former version of Minato's article, the World War summaries included a total of 14 images. Not every paragraph had an image, but the number was still 14.
 * In the current version of Minato's article, the World War summaries include a total of 10 images. Admittedly every paragraph now has an image, but the number is only 10. And the summaries are shorter to boot.
 * You can try to simply remove images, and I'd support the effort. But it's inevitable that somebody's going to come along and add more images to accommodate all the content. If you slim the content down, though, then it will be almost impossible for people to add images back because there's simply no room. ~SnapperTo 00:05, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * As loathe as I am to admit it, it may be necessary to just use tabs or drop downs for summaries for the more troublesome articles. The ones that are long but we can't really do much with because the users tend to get agitated if this little detail is not mentioned.--TheUltimate3 Eye of Rikudō.svg (talk) 00:28, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ideally, better. What we have on the Zetsu page is for lack of a better phrase, pure shit and only exists to make the "Zetsu are one people" camp happy (I was one of them, but I was and still not pleased with the results). Ideally, a drop down thing like on the Bleach Wiki could be used, where it can hide large portions of an article, but it's still there so people can easily edit it. Because nothing is a ball kicker than trying to edit a character arc and having to go through 2 different threads to do so.
 * Troublesome articles are the obvious ones. Naruto, Sasuke, Tobi, Madara, ect.--TheUltimate3 Eye of Rikudō.svg (talk) 00:51, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * First things first the content needs to be compressed, if I had my way. Naruto vs Sasuke's last fight was 4 paragraphs, and goes on to detail just about every move the two of them did. The rest of the article is just as stupid and this is repeated on just about every character's articles. None of that is needed. If we can do that, and make sure that actually sticks however would be a great benefit.--TheUltimate3 Eye of Rikudō.svg (talk) 01:18, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Chat
I understand that you are extremely busy now. However, if you see this, please join the chat. Reply to this message when you are on the chat, please. Thanks. --Sajuuk Talk Page 19:05, January 10, 2015 (UTC)

Uhmmm..
I just noticed you have blanked your userpage, removed the talkpage header, even your avatar and stripped your signature to basics... what's up? Talk on chat if you wish... --Sajuuk Talk Page 23:14, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright then. I know you recently got made a forum operator, but I don't know whether it'll be meaningful if your motivation for editing/modding has been affected. Not saying that you shouldn't be one, but maybe it'd be better to be returned to forum moderator and not have the pressures of being a forum op.
 * The chat would've just been about something minor and wouldn't have taken much time but I respect your wishes. --Sajuuk Talk Page 23:29, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * By "pressure", I meant that I don't want you to feel like you need to be here just because you are a forum op. I don't want the wiki (and by extension, the forum op flag) to make you slip in your studies or things like that (that happens to me regularly and I don't want that to happen to other users).
 * Assertiveness is somewhat important for the forums these days: if you didn't see, I had to reclose a thread that a sysop decided to reopen (and we both know what happened when a sysop reopened threads I closed ;)), so I need another forum op who can assert my side of the argument. That isn't to say that not being assertive is bad, but it does mean that I will feel lonesome and my decisions will likely be disrespected as a result. :/ --Sajuuk Talk Page 23:45, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * I know you've not thrown it all away. ;)
 * You might want to assist in trying to explain to a "certain" sysop why this thread needs to be closed. --Sajuuk Talk Page 23:53, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * JFYI: I already called him out on that trolling he was doing in the chat. ;) --Sajuuk Talk Page 00:19, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's interesting to note they are allowed to moderate them. However, in just about every case, the moderation is done inappropriately (the exception would be Jacce who moderates appropriately) and results in problems because they're either deleting spambot threads (instead of reporting to VSTF to let them deal with it), or reopening discussions and not caring for the end results of reopening discussions that should stay closed (you know what I'm referring to here) A few have made it clear that because I was the one to suggest opening up the forums to more discussions, that it's my responsibility to moderate them, so yeah... --Sajuuk Talk Page 00:42, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

content
It'd be nice if you'd wait a bit before yelling at users. im trying to add info. the page isn't loading properly. Munchvtec (talk) 04:11, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a lot harder now that when i go to create a page it starts me off on blank instead of giving me options like, jutus, team, place etc. my home computer won't let me upload a template for the infobox. Munchvtec (talk) 04:17, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * There is the page better now? Munchvtec (talk) 04:35, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

New Form
Regarding the form for creating new pages, I attempted to use it the first time I tried creating a new page, but the form lacked a "location" category, which was what I trying to create. Is it possible someone could add location to the forms for these that way we would have to go through with this? --Tuxedo12 (talk) 05:58, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Re: 21 Ways to Save the Day
Thanks so much for the quick response! Grace (profile)•(talk) 20:55, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Reminder
Just a small reminder: Manual_of_Style "Do not make edits that do absolutely nothing to change the appearance of the page when it is rendered, such as adding or removing a space between paragraphs, adding underscores in spaces when including an image onto an article, or removing unused parameters from infobox templates. This does nothing except add pointless edit revisions to the page history and does not improve the wiki." Going around removing the quote marks around the word "true" in gallery parameters is pointless and violates the spirit of the rule above. Whether the quote marks are present or not does not change anything about how it functions. --Sajuuk Talk Page 22:10, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, this would not happened had you suppressed the redirect when moving the page (by removing the checkmark from the "Leave a redirect behind" option on Special:MovePage). --Sajuuk Talk Page 22:34, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * ^Simply forgot to uncheck it. By the time the renaming process was complete, I instantly remembered and it was too late, therefore tagging it as a candidate for deletion was my only option. --WindStar7125 (talk | contribs) 22:50, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * Understandable. Might write some JS code you can add to your js file so it's always unchecked, can't do it this evening though. --Sajuuk Talk Page 22:53, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Just thought they were...
Since Hagoromo and Kaguya respectfully had them. I thought that since they were members of the Otsutsuki Clan, those Dojutsu were also part of it.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 01:36, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
