Vandal
http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/39.212.156.80

I know a VSTF blocked him, but it was only for two weeks. That's not accidental vandalism, that's wilful and malicious.

Spoiler Thing
Well man.. you're kinda getting borderline offensive.. I may be at fault for not reading the rules and not knowing you can't write spoilers on a blog, but I bet you also missed the part where I wrote *SPOILER ALERT* right?? Even before this you've always taken to try and shun me but I followed along because to It was actually funny to me the fact that you tried to look so proffesional. At 5:00 AM there were already some blogs detailing the events for the chapter.. but you don't call that spoiler and reprimend those people because they did it after the english version of the chapter came out??? just because of that?? I alerted people with the *SPOILER ALERT* because I know there're some that like waiting till' the english version comes out but to me it's basically the same thing if it's english or japanese, only with a different language.. You can deduce everything from the images without needing to read it, and that's what I did.. It's the same chapter, same content, same story.. But i did wrong because It hadn't come out in english already??? Well that sounds dumb, doesn't it??? At the end of the day I know I'm sorry for breaking the rules.. but to say I did something wrong just because I detailed some events of the chapter basically 6 or 5 hours before it came out in english and people started doing blogs about it when it had already come out in japanese.......... I don't know.. seems stupid Naruichi96 (talk) 13:09, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Any chance of a temp ban for this guy? User_talk:Zenith_sr_71 He's a wee bit argumentative.

Hello DancePowderer,

I made an edit to the Big Helmet Pirates article, where I just added a picture of the crew itself, as well as some explanation on their attire and apperance. None of this (I believe) was out of line or incorrect. I was just wondering why this is, as the article has little information as well as zero pictures.

Um, I have some user who took a name like me, and it looks like he is trying to make it look like a sock. Here he is. http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/User:Somebody700

Nobody700 (talk) 20:45, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

About that, that sock was made by Nova, so he is now unable to edit or access the chat, as you clicked the IP block too. Nova asked me to tell you on skype, now it's up to you if you will unblock him or not, just letting you know really. 20:51, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

take your time when you're unblocking his IP, he's been threatening me with blackmail lately. Roranoa Drake II (talk) 21:03, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

My ban appeal
I have found that you blocked my account and IP address without any warning. Since you prevented me from creating a new account with a different name, I assume this an act of anti-Semitism. You are allowed to feel however you want towards my religious beliefs, but I would appreciate if you would not immediately ban me just because my username contains my religion.

If you are not an anti-Semite, and happened to find my username offensive, I would like to to know that was not my intention; I thought I could use my religion in a humorous and random way, and I made sure not to include anything that could provoke another Jew. That said, I would appreciate if you could tell me how my username could offend someone else. If given a fair reason, I would like to use a different account instead so I can contribute to the wiki. -That Everyday Jew

Captain Dugong
Hello DP. I wanted to ask you about a few red links I've been noticing that lead to "Kung Fu Dugong (captain)". Is that an article you guys need or should I just change those links and have them lead to Kung Fu Dugong? If you need it that article made I'd be more than happy to make it. -The Forgotten Beast (talk) 16:07, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

Pictures
Hey-o DeePee, while editing the other day, I noticed the pictures' template, caption, whatever the hell it's called, in articles are different. Like, the other day, they had the name of users who uploaded the picture, and now it's just a really ugly black border around the picture with the caption awkwardly located in it. What happened? And is it possible to change the pictures' looks, preferably to the way it was back then? Because really, they look ugly. 20:24, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

It's the CSS. Every wiki has this now. Staff changed it. Staw's done or is doing a workaround and has told DP, but it's never going to look the same.

Forum Input
Hey man, just want to get your input on this forum before moving it to a vote. 01:12, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

Videos
If you go on any article, you can see there are videos on the side of the article, under the Recent Wiki Activity. Any way to remove them? It seems to be a Wikia feature (why must the staff continue to force annoying updates on us?). Anyway, thanks in advance. 23:06, May 28, 2014 (UTC)

Just talked to the staff, yes, this is another forced "experiment" on us, and there's no way to opt out of it. They'll let me know if they'll add an option to remove the update or whatever, though, so hopefully, they can add the option soon. 23:30, May 28, 2014 (UTC)

Layouts
One_Piece_Encyclopedia:Guidebook/Page_Layouts

Finally got it to work. I have had to remove the Table of Contents bit, because it was listing all the headers in each hidden section, but there's not many sections anyway. I removed the Arc and Saga Layout sections because I couldn't find a template layout, but that'd be easy to fix.

18:38, May 29, 2014 (UTC)

visual editor
Is it possible to disable the visual editor for the entire wiki? I noticed that it now adds unnecessary spaces to the qref template, so every time an anon or a new user edits, someone has to undo the spaces. 19:49, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

I'll contact staff and see if they can do anything about that and the new video section since that makes it harder to check new images. 23:21, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

Shichibukai Trafalgar Law
Can you please allow my edits to the Trafalgar Law page to be made? I don't even know why it's being reverted by 12th Supernova. I already stated the facts on the Shichibukai talk page and no one's talked about it for more than 2 weeks. I have bumped it before and there has been no discussion. The Shichibukai page already has the correct information, but lo and behold, the Trafalgar Law page is not getting updated because of constant reverts. - Racht  00:34, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

I guess you're the person to message..?
I was told mods are allowed to ban from chat for "stupidity" and I got a warning and I was like "okay." and said I didn't need a second. Later, I was banned for no reason at all, I even messaged the person, and they aren't responding. I literally did nothing, and that was a false ban. What's the deal?! 16:00, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Nova never got back to me, and the reason was unclear, I believe that was a false ban.

Blackbeard haki
http://imgur.com/oJ8gW9x I know it's not the best translation, but that's Teach measuring Luffy's strength and being surprised that he has a bounty of 100 mill. That is Kenbunshoku haki.

15:21, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

That doesn't explain the word chi (synonmyous with energy, or in this case spirit) being used. He also mentioned that Luffy's spirit had got stronger in Impel Down.

15:30, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Age
Would you like to add the age which a character had before the timeskip, if the character appeared only after the timeskip? Why don't you add the fact that Rebecca was 14, two years ago? Of course you wouldn't, and why? Rebecca was surely alive two years ago! But you don't, because she didn't appear before the timeskip!

In the same way, we shouldn't add the age after the timeskip for a character who doesn't appear! The part "maybe she's dead" for Negikuma Maria was only a joke, which you didn't understand. No problema about the joke, but please understand my explanation and agree with it. Meganoide (talk) 19:26, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

LWN
Hello, I am Yatalu, Dutch Wikia Helper. A couple of Wikia Staff and Helpers have made a script and are now looking for wikis with a lot of interlanguage links to test it out on. Would you guys consider this? If so, I'll give you more details.

YATTA ヽ( ° ヮ° )ﾉ ☆ |　2014年07月16日、03:51:09


 * Hi. So far it is used on Tardis and Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki. You can see its use for instance here. In this case, it is the German message displaying in the bottom right corner.


 * The script basically matches user language with interlanguage links, and then gives the user a message that points them out there is also a wiki in their own language. This means it will only appear for users that 1) are logged in and 2) have their settings in a language other than English, of which a wiki is interlanguage linked. Other users shouldn't notice it's there.


 * If you want to read more details, it has a page on Wikia Developers Wiki, w:c:dev:LWN, where you can read both code and explanation. Feel free to ask for more information if you're still curious about anything :)

Porn uploading vandal
As you might have noticed, we have 3 vandals uploading a ton of porn, most likely one vandal using three accounts. Can't we track them down and block whatever IP address they are using, so they can't keep coming back? They might not stop for some time if this goes on. 09:49, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

For the second day, a vandal removed contents from pages and, today, he added about 5000 porn images. There should be an admin online tomorrow at about 1.00 pm. For sure he will come back. --Meganoide (talk) 12:25, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Blocking their IPs will not stop them from coming back since they can simply change it. Disallowing non-users to upload could be a solution though. It would not hinder them from vandalizing articles but at least the pornography would go away.

Please, I know it's tempting but DO NOT EVER answer a vandal, don't feed the trolls. If u need help ask in central or at the VSTF wiki.

Onepiece.com has a campaign where you can earn berries and use them to unlock character anime sketches. The images Klobis uploaded are some of those sketches, and the names are written in kana. They serve as good enough names (probably about as good as names that are just from the credits) until anything better comes from the manga, although they're not perfect - I unlocked a sketch for Ally (アリー) that was named Anny (アニー). 05:48, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

The immutability of vandals
I was going to leave http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Cirko_95 to be banned whenever it was convenient, but he hasn't stopped, so I thought it was worth notifying you. Incidentally, he's been banned on the French OP wiki for the exact same thing at pretty much the exact same time - if nothing else, this vandal can multitask.

Forum post deleted?
Greetings, this is TheAkaman. So I wrote that forum post, "Is Luffy a Mary Sue?" a couple of hours ago, and I recently found that you had it deleted on the claim that it was plagiarized. I can understand if this topic has come up before, but my post was definitely not a work of plagiarization. No text was copied directly from any sources, and what you saw there was entirely my own writing; was it deleted because it had similar wording to another post on this site, or perhaps on another? I'm curious to know what it is, if so. I apologize if I inadvertently made it seem like I'm trying to rip off someone, and if it made anyone upset, but I don't want to be accused of doing something I didn't do.

The reason I made that revision in the first place is because that particular chapter and page number used as a source DOES NOT show her making Brook stop fooling around and continue his story. It only shows her agreeing that Franky should hit Brook ("yes, you should hit him"). Therefore, it's misleading and dishonest to use it as a source of her forcing Brook to continue his story!

Placeholder Images for FUNImation Collection Boxes
Hey can you help resolve this dispute. We are debating as to whether or not we use the placeholder images that Amazon has put up for the One Piece Collection Boxes. Theses images can be found here: Collection Box One Collection Box Two

Below is a list of reasons why I believe they should not be used.

Reasons why this is not cover art:

- Does not say collection

- Does not say episodes 1-103 or 104-205

- Is a 2d image rather then 3d image of item (all amazon items use a 3d image of the item).

- It says Zolo (for the second collection)

- Not used by funimation

- Poster can be found on various different websites.

- No funimation or toei logos (or any logos for that matter)

If it is not cover art it should not be on the wiki. Placeholders used by distributors (amazon) should not be used because they are not official box art. Only placeholders used by FUNimation should be used.

Reasons why this image should not be used:

- It's a placeholder used by Amazon. Amazon always use random images and posters as placeholders.

- The image is in no way related to funimation

- Amazon has done this with previous One Piece products, and the placeholder images used for those items have never been uploaded to the wiki.

- The image will be replaced by the official image anyway

- No other item or merchandise shown on the wiki has ever used a placeholder image.

- The NoPicAvailable.png is also used as a placeholder image for japanese DVD releases.

- It is pointless unless it is the official cover art

I have only received two disputes against my reasons which were 'they're better than nothing' (which is an opinion) and 'You shouldn't be using NoPicAvailable.png' (to which i replied that, that image had been used on the Home Video Releases page for years). I have yet to receive any reasons why they should be used. Could you please help resolve this on the Talk:FUNimation Entertainment/Episode Guide?--DuelMaster93 (talk) 00:22, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Haki
Why was this edition reverted? It's not only correct but more accurate than the previous one: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Haki?diff=1188513&oldid=1184657 Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 21:51, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, in his page on the Wiki, Pekoms is referred as a "small lion able to stand on two legs and talk", and since he's not a human turned into lion by a Zoan fruit (because his Zoan is that of a turtle), I think it's accurate to refer to him as an animal. Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 22:13, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think the distinction is too diffuse. Just because an animal adopts human characteristics, like certain human behavior or the ability to talk, I don't think it should no longer be considered as animal. It's only a matter of behavior, its biology is still an animal as such. There are many animals that have also adopted human characteristics to a greater or lesser extent and their condition is not questioned, like Carue, Hattori and Pappug (who also speaks and walks in two legs). I'm not sure if it's appropriate to try to make such distinctions. Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 23:22, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, I don't agree but respect the decision until there is more definitive information about the character. Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 23:37, September 8, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, he asked me about the JSD forum you deleted. If he raised a point or two, don't you think we should at least discuss it there? I know it seems like petty retaliation, but who knows? We want to remain impartial. I am not siding with him or JSD, just want to see why you deleted it right off. 04:29, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, he said it was a legit forum, and you broke the rules for deleting it (he said it not me). He also said (not me) that you ignore him because you hate him. Just trying to stay impartial, not taking yours or his side. 04:55, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know if my throwing in my two cents here is relevant, but I've got a screengrab of the forum and I've read it several times. If it were not about me, I would question the legitmacy of the forum on the grounds that it's essentially a satire of the forum I wrote for him. He essentially copy/pasted my words and then applied them to my actions. If he was truly serious about my actions being ban-worthy, why does he also need to mock my words and how I structure them?

Also, his second point about chat is a lie. I did say what he said, but he did not "politely ask me to open a poll", rather just linked a discussion without saying hello or any other words to me, with the implication that I would open the poll, since I seem to open all the polls here recently.Also, his point about joining the wiki "In March" is another obvious lie, since we all know Mr. Whatever is Galaxy9000, showing that he is not afraid to lie in the forum he just wrote.

Just putting this out there for the record. Thanks. 05:06, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

These things happen
It's a shame, but I don't think I'm in a fit state to come back yet. I tried today and it went badly. May as well demod me again.

Demodded & Rollback
Hey. I've demodded myself now, since the reverts are done and all. I left myself with rollback, though, as I think I could help with renaming images and possibly reverting vandalism (Gal). I hope that's alright? If you don't think I should have rollback rights, then feel free to remove them any time. 17:04, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Gal
Well, that's surprising news... As I said yesterday, reverting images is one of the few things I can't do with a bot, so that leaves us the maunal way. As I can see, the images are unlocked so I'll get Kage and whoever else is willing to to help me start reverting him. 10:19, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Alternatively, we can completely remove that line. If we do, it will look like this: http://i.imgur.com/v0IjBjS.jpg 14:15, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

My name will still be the one that appears on the the upload page. 129.252.33.0 14:31, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Can you get in chat? 15:06, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

COPPA
Hey DP. I finally got COPPA off of Toriko Wiki so anon users can edit again and I have you to thank. Thanks again for all the info! -The Forgotten Beast (talk) 12:57, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Gal Sock Ban
New Gal sock. Please ban. Its Father of Truth. Thanks. Montblanc Noland (talk) 20:57, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Admin election
With the rise of Gal's vandalism, I've been advised to elect some more admins, seeing Deva is so inactive. What do you think? 01:06, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

That super weird thing called Chat
Come on the chat ASAP~ Someone wants to talk to you. 00:49, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Deva's Demotion Discussion
Sup, the discussion for the demotion of Deva is now open on here, and as an admin, you probably should tell your thoughts on demoting Deva or not. Thanks. 01:11, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry
That was really freaking embarrassing. Thank you for deleting it so quickly. 05:38, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

And yes, I know that. I meant to have that as a joke and I put it on my userpage with the "youtube" thingy, but I didn't know that would upload to the Wiki. 05:40, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

scripts
Do you know if it's possible to block scripts on the wiki? Gal mentioned he's using one for his "improvements" so if we can prevent that, we'll at least slow him down. 00:12, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

No you cannot block my own script. This isn't some wikia javascript crap. 107.191.36.19 03:24, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

I think that the list of image reverts could be a pride for Gal, a proof that he fought against the "evilish staff" of the wiki. You should delete all the reverts. Can I make an example? Hitler's last bunker was destroyed to avoid it to become a "sanctuary" for nazis. It is a hard work but it is needed. If you don't want to "waste" your time I would do it myself, if given the power to remove images. I like to do bot-works, as I do with redirects. --Meganoide (talk) 15:29, September 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Or you can ask me or [[One Piece Encyclopedia:Guidebook/User Rights#Bots|

another bot user]] for those tasks and not spam the activity.... 15:40, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

It isn't possible. We would have to delete them all and reupload them all over again if you wanted that. SeaTerror (talk) 18:32, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Certain image reverts can be deleted, I just tried it, though you'd need admin permissions to do it. Plus, you can't seem to delete the most recent version of an image alone. It doesn't really seem like it's worth the effort to me, if we can't even get images back to the point where Galaxy is credited as the uploader again. 18:40, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

I didn't understand JSD's message; I think that we only need to delete the images from the start of the edit war to the most recent one. Since he thinks it is a waste of time (if I understood correctly) I'm asking again to have the capability to do it for the time strictly needed. I'd like to do it because I think it is an important work. --Meganoide (talk) 19:35, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know how to enter the chat. Where is the link? However, what's the problem? My suggestion is to delete all the edit wars of the images, removing "old versions" caused by both Gal and the "regular staff". The only difference between the new status of the file and the status before the edit war would be the time of the last upload... but it is a detail, in comparison to the long list of images visible looking at a file that has been edit warred. As I said:
 * it is really needed to remove Gal's pride;
 * I'm interested in doing the work if the admins don't want to "waste their time". If some admin want to do it... ok, no problem. Meganoide (talk) 01:00, September 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I could slog through and do it over the next few days. And if you want to chat, it's a link on the upper right corner, if you're using Oasis skin. Or you can just use Special:Chat as a way in. 01:08, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

I just got a response from staff (central was annoyingly unhelpful) and they said image uploads and reverts here have been disabled for non-autoconfirmed users, so that should stop him. 19:31, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps he is reasonable after all...
So I've had a talk with him, and perhaps we've stumbled on another solution that requires little effort from us, and more importantly no edits here. If we talk to staff, we may be able to get them to rename his original account, even though it is deactivated. Staff is probably unwilling to do this based on his request, but if an admin from here also asks for it, and mentions that it is part of a negotiation with a very problematic user, then maybe they will actually do it. He's promised me that doing this will stop him from editing in the future in any form (not just vandalism), and that there will be no vandalism as we wait for staff to answer our concerns. I've already deleted the blogs he wanted to delete as a showing of good faith, too. I was against the last deal, since that was him forcing us to do edits, but this one should lead to neither party having to do any editing, so if it goes through it should be the best outcome.

I'm putting this on Yata's talk page too, but both of you should send the message. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

Also, if I could get admin rights for my bot User:JustSomeBot... that would be great, as I could start cleaning up the image histories of the vandalized ones. Thanks. 04:07, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

my nomination
My nomination was nullified because I my response was 27 hours later, but I still responded before it was nullified. Is it void anyway? I just want to be sure since I'm not 100% clear on the rules. 15:51, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Eh, I probably wouldn't have won anyway. At least I get the warm feeling that someone thought me capable. 23:09, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

New admin voting
Hey DP, since the voting for new admins is scheduled to start at an awkward time (~ 3 hours or so), I went ahead and made up the page for voting, mostly copying the stuff we did last time when Sff was elected. Can you look it over and make sure everything's the way you want it to be? Like how all the rules are correct, etc. And adding you two cents to the discussion on how many admins we're actually electing would be great too. I just want to make sure everything's cleared up before it starts. Thanks. 01:27, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, and Deva needs to be given rollback rights too. Thanks. 01:29, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

Rollback Rights
I, now officially, ask for rollback rights to handle image files. I'm awaiting for your response. MasterDeva (talk) 09:05, October 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks. MasterDeva (talk) 08:34, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

Corruption in the Election
Hey DP, you need to see this. There's been some very flagrant rule breaking going on in the election, and your input/judgement is needed to help us fix it. Thanks. 02:00, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Hey DP, can you actually read the conversation on the forum and comment on whether Roa should be disqualified or not? Yata's read it and seems undecided on the issue. Some kind of higher judgement would be great so we can finally move towards closing the thing and getting the election over with. Thanks. 03:49, October 4, 2014 (UTC)

Bumping the Controversy Forum
Sorry for bumping it so late, but I noticed that the issue of what to do about Roa still haven't been resolved, and I thought we should attempt to resolve it as soon as possible. I posted on the forum, but I'd like you to also express your thoughts in the discussion on what to do about Roa. Thanks. 00:31, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Mom and Taboo?
I'm confused too, actually (this kinda stuff is way beyond me). He said 忌み名 (Imina), and putting that into the dictionary didn't give anything itself, but the dictionary says the first Imi part can mean


 * 1) mourning; abstinence;
 * 2) taboo;
 * 3) religious purification;
 * 4) (Noun prefix) pure; holy

Imina with different kanji can apparently also mean posthumous name, but that's not something I'm familiar with either.

In any case, it does look like there's no mention of the mother specifically; just that it's been in the family for generations.

So... either ask Klobis, or wait for VIZ, I guess. 02:50, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
