Yes. We had issues with it before. SeaTerror (talk) 00:50, April 9, 2018 (UTC)

Re:Crazy
We have multiple admins and mods, if one of them wasn't responding to you you should ask someone else. Is this an issue with a page on the wiki, or do you just want to talk about One Piece? We have a Discord server if it's the latter. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:14, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

If this is about renaming Enel to Eneru, you did get responses on that discussion. All of them were opposed. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:18, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

The responses to you are still responses. It was 1 against 3 in favor of not changing it, and the users here are not obligated to continue discussing the issue until someone changes their mind. The page will stay as Enel unless something changes in the future. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 22:54, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

"Enel" isn't inaccurate. We aren't bound to use the names that the official translations use. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 23:44, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

Your other information didn't make sense. Also if your argument is official translations then you should be arguing that Bon Kurei should be known as Bon Clay too. Or Cat Viper instead of Nekomamushi. SeaTerror (talk) 08:17, September 12, 2018 (UTC)

He archived it. Also you added "information" that didn't make sense. SeaTerror (talk) 21:35, September 13, 2018 (UTC)

Re:Welcome
You're not allowed to removed the welcome message. I archive my talk page messages once I have a lot of them, so my welcome message is in User talk:Kaido King of the Beasts/Archive 1. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 15:52, September 14, 2018 (UTC)

You create a subpage of your talk page. But there's not much need since there's not a lot of posts here. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 17:40, September 14, 2018 (UTC)

Not going to do it. It's not that hard, just go to the url box and add "/Archive 1" at the end, then enter it and create the page.

Also, don't click on the "new message" button every time you leave a new talk page message. If it's part of an ongoing conversation, just edit the section that has the discussion. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 17:52, September 14, 2018 (UTC)

Re:Eneru
So I looked through the talk page you mentioned, and your declaration that you won the debate doesn't seem to pan out. If the only criteria for winning is believing you're right, then everyone wins every debate. Furthermore, it looks like you don't quite understand how the Japanese language works. Japanese doesn't natively use "L" sounds, so foreign or made up words that are supposed to have an L use an R instead. Japanese also doesn't have any consonants that can stand by themselves except N. The way the language is written, every consonant is followed by a vowel, so any word that is meant to end in L or R would come out as -ru. In other words, エネル (Eneru) would be used for Eneru, Ener, Enelu, or Enel. Based on how it's written, there's no way to determine which is correct. I'm a fan of Funimation's dub, but it's been wrong plenty of times before. Translation isn't an exact science, so the dub doesn't carry much weight in terms of which is actually correct. If there are more Japanese sources for Enel, then we'll go with Enel. On a side note, arguing with other people by constantly accusing them of being biased or only going by their opinions instead of facts is a very bad way to argue or convince anyone. Everyone has biases, and everyone has opinions. What matters is how well they can defend their views. I'm honestly not sure why you decided to reach out to me. I haven't been active here in years and I wasn't involved with that discussion at all. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the authority to change the name of the page against the popular consensus. 8-1 is a pretty clear majority. 18:28, September 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * I came here to say exactly what Videogamep said before I saw that you'd also reached out to him and he'd gotten to it first, so all I'll say is that you need to reevaluate your idea of how a debate works as well as your priorities in life - this is not something worth being so caustic over.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:38, September 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * By the looks of it, you still don't understand, so let's lay this out: Kaido, Seaterror and the others explained to you repeatedly why we're using the spelling Enel, then you said all their points were wrong and therefore we should listen to you (and you alone - didn't see anyone agreeing with you in there) and change the spelling. That's not how this wiki works. In fact, that's not how MOST wikis work. The majority ruled against you, and that's that. Move on with your life.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:29, September 16, 2018 (UTC)

Pretty much what Xil just said. You're setting yourself up as the one and only arbiter of who's right, which never accomplishes anything. It doesn't matter how right you are (and I don't think you're right) if you can't convince anyone of it. Content mods only have the power to edit certain levels of protected pages and handle vandalism. Decisions like page names are done by popular majority. Everyone did cite multiple examples or examples from previous discussions that had Japanese games and merchandise use Enel, which is given higher weight than official English translations in the absence of any other evidence. Take it from someone who's spent years here: do not pick this hill to die on. Even if you staunchly believe you're right, accept that the majority is against you and move on. It's not worth expending so much effort arguing over the proper spelling of a fictional character's name. It doesn't gain you anything, and keeping that kind of attitude won't make you any friends here. I've seen people get that heated before, and it almost universally ends with them snapping and getting banned or leaving the wiki in frustration. The sooner you accept that, the happier you'll be. 21:58, September 16, 2018 (UTC)

You keep hearing that because it's true. A lot of us have been in your position, including me, and we universally end up growing out of it or getting banned. I know I sound condescending, but please take advice from people who were in your position before. I saw your response to the PW3 bit. We don't use the mistakes there because we have official materials confirming that, which we don't have for Eneru. And I saw you posing again on the talk page. Stop. The discussion is settled with a majority, and there's no official Japanese version of his name. Accept that you lost and move on. If you keep going with this, you'll end up getting banned. It's not worth it. 04:14, September 17, 2018 (UTC)

Nobody cares enough about this issue to want to get rid of you. And your situation isn't that unique. Everyone here has seen users with the exact same attitude, that's why I'm warning you about it. Like we've all said, the only official sources we rely on are Japanese sources, not official English translations. You might not like it, but that's the policy. 05:00, September 17, 2018 (UTC)

You're definitely reading too much into it. I'm just typing this out as I think of it and I'm trying to explain things since I know how frustrating it can be to be dismissed. We've had plenty of Japanese sources be correct about some things and incorrect about others. The dub has been the same. It's gotten some things right and some wrong. I know it's frustrating to firmly feel that you're right and not be able to convince anyone, but sometimes that's just how it happens. Trust me when I say it's not worth getting heated over. 07:34, September 17, 2018 (UTC)

Like I said, unless it's contradicted by a higher priority Japanese source, we go with official Japanese sources. Official translations don't have any bearing on these discussions. You might not agree with it, but that's our policy and it's been our policy for a long time. 19:37, September 17, 2018 (UTC)
