Forum:NinjaSheik's talk page

The user page is whatever. Stupid to delete it but not as bad as getting a talk page deleted. Talk pages are supposed to be left alone for archival purposes. There's a reason why article talk pages don't get deleted even if an article is deleted. These pages should never be deleted so both of NinjaSheik's pages should be restored. Especially the talk page because people had commented on it. It doesn't matter if a user requests it because of the unofficial archival rules. SeaTerror 00:05, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Technically, user talk pages are pretty much the same as user page in one aspect: the respective user has all the rights to delete or add to it as they please, as long as it does not involve anything offensive or spamming. 00:32, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

They have a right to blank it and remove what they want. Removing the entire talk page removes everything, even the history. The history should never be removed. SeaTerror 00:36, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I completely agree with SeaTerror on this (never thought I would say that) they are enabled on every wiki by default and that is for obvious reason that don't really need to be listed here. Furthermore I know thanks to being an admin myself on two different wikias that Talk pages unlike article comments, blogs, achievement badges and all that stuff, Talk Pages cannot be disabled by admins and I my sources are correct not even a wikia staff member can or may turn of the wikia talk pages and that is for one simple reason, which is the same reason they are there in the first place. The Talk Pages form and are the most essential primary part of the wikias communications network, they are there to let people/force people to communicate with one another and without communication a wikia cannot exist. NinjaSheiks and anyone elses his or her talkpage is there for this most essential part COMMUNICATION, you may as one individual not like that but that is just to bad for you they serve a basic primary function on this wikia just like clothes serve a basic primary function in soceity so do talk pages on the wikia. In trying to keep things short. I think we should maka an official rule out of this. The rule should be that: No-one may remove his or her talk page (content) in it's entirety or request complete content removement. All a user should be allowed to do is archive there talk page. PS:History must alwasy be preserved as a wise librarian once said. (OnePieceNation 00:47, April 21, 2012 (UTC))'''

I agree with SeaTerror as well. Talk pages, especially on articles, are a way to document previous decisions that were made by previous editors. They also can be used for documentation for things such as bans and other issues. I vote for leaving the talk pages alone. 00:53, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'd just like to point out that my history didn't have anything bad on it and was hardly used, so there was no point of having it at all. The only time I spoke with anyone on the wiki is when I get into an edit war, and if we're having a disagreement, then we take to the discussion page to sort it with other users, correct? After all, I don't have friends here (except for Yata-senpai, but I can speak to me on the Narutopedia), so there's no point of keeping it in my opinion.-- Ninja Sheik  00:56, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

NinjaSheik you seem to be missing the purpose of the talk pages, whether they are used or unused and whether they have positive things or negative things on them or the fact if you do have or not have friends on here it doesn't matter. They are there to be the wikia's primary communications tool, the fact you don't use them or don't feel like having them doesn't matter because they serve a primary wiki function. (OnePieceNation 01:08, April 21, 2012 (UTC))

No, I understand the point, believe me. But for me, it's different. There's nothing important about and it was hardly use, if it contains something important, I agree it shouldn't be deleted, but if a person wants it delete, then let the admin decide whether or not if it's right.-- Ninja Sheik  01:11, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

You really don't understand it actually. A talk page especially should never be deleted. The point of blanking something is to leave the history. It isn't that hard to understand that deleting something deletes the history. SeaTerror 01:19, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

They just wanted to make a big deal out of this little thing. I agree talk pages should not be deleted, it's the only way to preserve evidence of something. NS, don't worry, this is not a direct accusation to you or to Yata, it's just a great occasion to bring this up and put it down on an official forum.

You're right, Ricizubi. Your last sentence makes me want to bring this up: A while back, someone told me this wiki don't even have a proper written Manuel of Style. If you guys have decided long ago, maybe this forum wouldn't have to be created. But since you guys never did, which is kinda shocking, me wanting to delete my user and talk pages gave you guys a reason to bring this up and on a forum.

I know I said this before, but I'll say again for good measure: You guys need to fix yourself up and get your act together, because a wiki can't survive if doesn't know what to do, like how a crew can't survive without its captain.-- Ninja Sheik  01:36, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be under construction User:Pacifista15/Random_Stuff3

"You guys need to fix yourself up and get your act together" Nice teen arrogance you got going. :) SeaTerror 01:42, April 21, 2012 (UTC) Due to recent events such as this one, I have decided to draft a basic Manual of Style. I will later make and post a forum for it, so if you want to contribute to it then hang on a little bit until I am done with a rough draft.

About time. Can't believe this was never brought up before, no wonder this place is such a mess. I hope remember the titles of series and games should be in italics like this: One Piece and One Piece: Unlimited Adventure.-- Ninja Sheik  01:45, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

"no wonder this place is such a mess." How cute. SeaTerror 01:51, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

It's not arrogance, it's the truth. Run-on sentences, fragment sentences, grammar and spelling mistakes, no CLEAR Manuel of Style. How is this arrogance when the evidence is on your own wiki?-- Ninja Sheik  01:54, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'll say again what I think here: What usually is done: for users who occasionally edit on a wiki or just don't want anything to do with it, usually I see that they: This is what I think the option are. A user may have the right to ask for the deletion of his profile, but we are not really obligated to do so, especially if someone just want to remove the content and have no special reason to want his page gone. You won't magically disappear from the wiki logs, that's why I found it strange, furthermore an account is global to Wikia, so a wiki is just a place you can edit not a different site.
 * For user pages: I just found bothersome to other users to have red links to user page (which will open the editor) which don't fulfill their role as links (User:NinjaSheik, for example). You may say who cares, but that is something concerning the wiki not the user. Why is unreasonable to just blank out the content? (blank out = removing all content; deleting page = removing the page from the system)
 * For user talk pages: completely removing the talk page is unreasonable, in my opinion, because you prevent a way to contact you, so this is especially bothersome if you are still editing on the wiki. If you are making mistakes, how can someone contact you?
 * Blank out their personal pages.
 * Leave a few words telling how and where contact them (like this)
 * Make a soft redirect  (user page) and   (talk page)
 * Leave things as they are.

As I said a user may have the right to do what he wants on his personal space, but he doesn't own it. I think the deletion is an action that regard the wiki itself.

Let's be clear, maybe it's not the end of the world if we accept to delete the user pages, but it's the same for the opposite: it seems we are violating the user right by asking to not deleting those pages. Because the question is reduced to why we should delete the user page while we can simply blank it out and achieve the same effect? I'm most concerned to the talk page then the user page, though.

To be clear, there is no generally rule on this matter, it depends on the local wiki policy.


 * Also, let's talk about user pages and user talk pages first, not article talk page.
 * @NinjaSheik: this is a discussion that must be solved anyway, but for your personal matter about why you decided to do that, we can talk it separately. Also, I didn't really see much wiki having a policy on this matter, do you? I think usually they decide case by case or leave it to the admins.
 * @Pacifista: it's good to work on the manual of style, but there are also tons of forum-decision to be translated on the policies. If Angel was here she will remind us about the image guidelines.
 * @SeaTerror: let's not flame up this forum.


 * Uhm, most wiki/wikia's don't have a manuel of style the reason for this is that a manuel style is only needed for wikia where there are a lot of people and a lot of conflicts, however though there are a lot of people here the amount of conflicts that occur are pretty minor and most conflicts are talked out on talk pages and bigger things are discussed on the forums. It might be useful to have a manuel of style however before creating one we should first discuss the things that it will contain. Also how things are done one wiki don't influence how things should be done on another. PS: PX-15 you should open a forum about your manuel of style once it is finished before doing anything else. PPS:thanks to continues edit conflicts this comment was delayed. (OnePieceNation 01:57, April 21, 2012 (UTC))

The way you say it is arrogant. You're also forgetting about all your bad edits such as removing valid information from articles. SeaTerror 02:09, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Uhm seaterror the forum got kind of confusing to who are you talking down to. Me, Levi or Sheik. (OnePieceNation 02:14, April 21, 2012 (UTC))

Again: How was it arrogant? I'm simply stating the truth, the wiki is messy. Anyone can tell by looking at it. And I wasn't removing valid information, I was removing thing from characters' pages that had ABSOLUTELY nothing do with them. A article should be written and concise, retaining to only its subject.

@OnePieceNation: You are about what you said about most wikis don't have a Manuel of Style, but hadn't ever cross anyone's mind that as One Piece grew, so will it fans and people who want to help improve it, meaning that more users will come here. Every wiki should have a Manuel of Style no matter what to avoid conflicts in the future.-- Ninja Sheik  02:20, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Just to throw something in here, this wiki has actually functioned pretty efficiently without a Manual of Style since I joined. Users learned what was acceptable and what was not through experience and by editing and making mistakes. We have made a lot of "unwritten" laws, and we have never really had a problem with this until now. 02:31, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps the reason for that is because no one really has real experienced before, was just too lazy or too afraid.-- Ninja Sheik  02:34, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Actually I think that only you in your own fantasy world can see that. You actually were removing valid information. Those scenes still included the characters in question. The details are needed and they are heavily expanded on in the main articles anyway. There you go again with your arrogance. You're the ONLY person who had a problem with this. Wikia's do not need a Manual Of Style if they don't want one. Everything was done in the forums. SeaTerror 02:44, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

uhm, just one question to you before I go to bed ninjasheik have you ever started your own wikia (or adopted a completely abandoned wikia) my guess is the answer is no. You want to know how I know this, well I know this because I have started my own wikia and when you start a wikia, you are only thinking about what does this wikia need to tell about his subject matter and how can it tell it in the best way a manual of style is the uttter last thing that is on your mind. (OnePieceNation 02:56, April 21, 2012 (UTC))

@SeaTerror: But even I rewrote it, you still reverted it. Take example, Kaku's page. Remember that? I'm the one being arrogant here, it is you. Earlier today, when I gave valid reasons on Nami's misc. page, you blatantly ingore me reasoning and just revert without an counterargument. Yata-senpai even told I was right, and I know I was right because gave examples and logic reasons. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has a problem how things are done here. I think everyone's too afraid to speak their opinion because you guys won't listen to anyone but yourselves! Take today for example back on Nami's misc. page! All of you ganged up on me when I was right, and without giving your own reasoning! What you guys do look down on people and scare them into submission. You need to keep an open mind about EVERYTHING, because more users come on the wiki and may have better ideas than your own, but you give them a chance, will you, because you won't take in consideration that anyone else because your pig-headedness.

@OnePieceNation: To answer your question, yes I have taken an a completely abandoned wikia. Two, in fact.-- Ninja Sheik  03:05, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Sheik, would you like to join the chat for a bit. I would like to talk with you in private about something. I hope it won't bother you to join, so please do.

All I see is a empty page. I don't know what's going on. Do you guys have an IRC Channel? I never heard that a wiki has its own special chat on the actual wiki.-- Ninja Sheik  03:45, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Chat

http://onepiece.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Chat&useskin=wikia SeaTerror 03:50, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I couldn't access with the first because I use a different wiki skin.-- Ninja Sheik  04:05, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

It's true that we lack some guidelines (well not so true), as Pacifista said it's not anarchy here, the existing pages are the models for the other and every edit is checked by the community. Since we lack guidelines, I'll propose one: do not go off topic in a discussion, this forum is about whenever should user pages be deleted or not, half of the discussion is about how this wiki is lacking guidelines. Everybody don't start an argument with NS, just talk about the topic.

Alright, back to the topic. About deleting user pages and users' talk pages, I'm quite neutral on this. I think the users should be allowed to have a say in deleting their own user pages, because that is optional. I saw people blanking their pages, thus I think people should have the right to decide if they want their page to be deleted.

As for the talk pages, that is quite different. I feel that talk pages should not be deleted, at least, completely fully like NinjaSheik's talk page was. Talk pages is a way to contact the user about something. Without talk pages, it only make it harder to contat them, especially if the topic is important, such as edits. So I feel that the talk pages should not be deleted, particularly if the user is active.

@Ninja, as Levi suggested, Ninja, you could put a redirect to your talk page in Narutopedia or whatever. I think that as long as you edit here, we need a way to contact you about the edits. It's already frustrating for BOTH sides, and having no easy way to contact you only make it harder for us. But whatever, it's your decision. 20:22, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I have an awesome idea. Let's also delete NinjaSheik's contribution page and create 3 red links. Who's with me? SeaTerror 20:35, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

@Sea Terror: How about you stop being such a jerk and stop attacking me for once? First of all, most of you will probably never contact me. I don't want you guys to contact me about anything, because, really, all you guys do is gang up on me and tell me how wrong I am when I know I'm right. I think it should be in the user's choice whether or not they want to delete their user/talk page or not. I never plan, not once since I started editing because a couple of guys asked me to when I was editing at anon, to contact. All you ever do is fight with me over every SINGLE edit I make, and can be solve by going to the discussion page. My page had no importance relating to wiki business whatsoever.

And by the way, contribution page? Really? What for? Because you don't like the edits I make because you know I'm right and you're wrong?-- Ninja Sheik  20:57, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Alright Ninja, I apologize if you felt that I was ganging up on you. That was not my intention. I don't know about the other users, but it is most centainly not my intention to gang up on you and tell you that you are wrong about whatever. I only undid some of your edits because I felt that the previous edits was right.

As for contacting you, I understand that most of the users will probably not contact you. But at least, having a talk page will make things easier if one of us DO want to contact you, about edits or whatever. But if you really don't want to, then fine. It's your decision as I said before. 21:39, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Even if it wasn't you intention to gang up on me, you still did it because I don't think any of can keep an open mind about anything. You need to think logically, take in what I'm trying to say without jumping the gun. Look at the edit, digest it, and then decide whether or not if it was right or not, but do with fair and justified reasoning, which apparently you guys don't have. Because with the whole Nami's Misc. page issue happened, you just clearly demonstrated to me that you guys obviously have no sense of justice. You just reverted my edits without giving a explanation for it, even though I was right. You jump the gun without taking in what I was trying to say.-- Ninja Sheik  21:48, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Sheik i will only say this if everybody is against you its because you are probably the one who is in the wrong and dont accept it. User:X-RAPTOR 21:58, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Also its called peoples opinions not ganging up on you so grow up or leave this wiki since you asked to have your user page deleted. User:X-RAPTOR 21:59, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

"how wrong I am when I know I'm right." http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/1956/98634165.jpg Also apparently you don't get sarcasm. No user or talk pages should be deleted. Especially not talk pages. I would have linked you to this forum if I could have. SeaTerror 22:00, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

@X-RAPTOR: How will you know that, though? Have you seen the edits on the pages all fought over? The messages? If you did, then explain to me how I'm wrong. And for the record, I didn't ask for my userpage to deleted because I wanna leave, I did it because I was never going to use it, anyway. Big whoop. Users do that all the time. A userpage is created so users can put information themselves on it. I was never going to do that, so there was no point of keeping it around. Simple as that. Ninja Sheik  22:00, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I dont need to,look arround you everyone is against you so clearly you are the one who did something wrong if not enlighten me how so many users can be against you,well either you can suck it up and have your user page and talk page restored and edit like allways and when you have a problem in a page take it to the talk and discuss it there thats what all users here do,and it might work out and all of this could also have been avoided if you had done that.(ST there was no need for that,calm down) User:X-RAPTOR 22:08, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Apparently, you do. You can't tell just by what everyone else is saying when you don't the other person's reasons. That would be just unfair. They're against me because they're stubborn and clearly not very open-minded and not that experienced. In fact, one user even told that all of you might hate because I'm a veteran editor. His/Her words, not mine. I don't see the point of restoring my user or talk page, because I'm not gonna need it anymore, because the only thing I'll be going is minor stuff. Grammar, things that everyone won't lash out at me for.-- Ninja Sheik  22:12, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Ok you are bieng stupid and anoying right now you clearly cant handle critcism and keep undoing peoples comments on the forum which you cant,so if you do it one more time i will request for you to be banned. User:X-RAPTOR 22:14, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

How am I being stupid? I can handle criticism, I'm an author. I get that all the time, but I can't stand having someone talk down me when I didn't do anything wrong. What the hell are you talking about? I'm not undoing anyone's comments! I know that I can't do that, I've editing for at least 4 years! Did you even look at the history, if anyone's removing anyone's commenting, it's SeaTerror.

I even have proof, if you like to see it. This is a copy and paste message from a wiki message that tells me when someone post here:

Sheik first of all you should thank Jade for apologizing.Second you really should not delete what others have posted.Thats all AuroraOfDeath 22:21, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'M NOT DELETING ANYTHING! LOOK ABOVE! IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH, I'LL TAKE A PICTURE OF THE E-MAIL AND POST IT TO SHOW I'M INNOCENT!-- Ninja Sheik  22:22, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Editing a Wikia doesn't make you an author. Also check the edit history. SeaTerror 22:24, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Uh, I know that. I AM an author. I write fanfics on FF. Net. It's a great way to express my imagination and keep my English skills sharpened.

And I did check the history. I still see the same thing I saw in my e-mail:

This shows that you reverted my post after I saved it.-- Ninja Sheik  22:26, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think (not so much convinced) that it was due the edit conflict.

ok lets all forget this and sheik this is not the naruto wikia so we have different rules so you have to obey them so your userpage should be restored and we should all move on and forget this and work for the benefit of this wiki. User:X-RAPTOR 22:28, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * There are no rules neither here and in narutopedia that said an user page cannot be deleted, that's why we are having this forum.

I'm sorry that you had an impact so negative with other users, but you keep saying that we are ganging up on you, but this wiki should have at least 20 regular users, I doubt you have a fight with each of them... but even so everybody had been in a situation like yours at least once, you try to talk it out or just go on and ignore them, that's up to you. This forum should not be about your case, but a general topic. I think that this is a wiki and we are editors, we are not here to socialize but to edit, as such pretending to keep editing and not having a way to contact you is not a collaborative behavior. For example, if you add a template incorrectly in good faith and I want to explain to you why you added incorrectly, how can I do that? So back to the topic, I think the deletion of the user talk page is an inconvenience for the community.

I already said what are the alternative way to do that, (blank out = removing all content; deleting page = removing the page from the system) so now who think that a user page can be deleted must provide a valid reason why the other way are not a good alternative to the deletion.

@SeaTerror: obviously you cannot delete the contribution page because it's not a wiki page, hence it cannot be deleted. I know you were joking but some people thought it can actual be done. @X-RAPTOR: because everyone is against you does not prove that you are wrong, I agree with Ninja on this @AuroraOfDeath: she is talking about this, but probably is due of the edit conflict. @NinjaSheik: I think you just have a problem with SeaTerror, if so just ignore him. Have you ever read "do not feed the troll?" Don't insist on quarrel if you don't see any feedback. I'm sure I have annoyed you pretty enough too, but you must admitted that I tried to reason with you all the times, because I just have politley asked you "hey I found this bothersome for the users here, can you please change it?" and you replied with "To me it doesn't make difference, but I don't want to do that".

P.S.: if Wiki will make mandatory the Message Wall then this discussion is pointless... guess why? Because the wall cannot be deleted, this even prove that the deletion of the talk page was never contemplated to begin with.


 * Again you guys are going off topic.

Levi can we agree that we should move on and put this behind our backs and hope for a better understanding and relationsip with the user,has for SeaTerror he gets bit carried away so dont mind him k. User:X-RAPTOR 22:37, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for helping, but, Leviathan 89, I told you before. It's hard to ignore users that are bothering you because they fight with you over wiki matter. It was normal bullying like in school, fine, I can handle. I've been it 24/7 hours every day in school. But this something entirely, I don't take back against my bully because there's nothing to fight about it. When users edit, there will be conflict, but being a veteran editor, editing on wikis have become important to me, so I can't just let something go when it impacts how the wiki looks.-- Ninja Sheik  22:39, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'm 100% on Sheiks side, you people are deliberately ostracizing her, if she doesn't want anymore harassment, it's her bussiness.Sheik i would personally like to apologize for how you are treated, i know how it feels to try your best to contribute and noone cares.

Oh, thank you very much! :) But you don't have to apologize because you didn't do anything wrong.-- Ninja Sheik  22:51, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Sig fail XD, and it is my fault i should be keeping these morons in check. Lets try this again

Keep them in line? How is it your responsibility? You're an admin?-- Ninja Sheik  22:57, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
