User talk:Master Sima Yi

Hi, welcome to Dynasty Warriors Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Kaihime page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Kyosei (Talk) 10:28, 7 August 2009
 * Oh no, this wiki needs help all right. For one, since you obviously have Warriors Orochi 2 for the PSP, you can update the characters who became playable in WOZ since I don't personally own a PSP. Strikeforce info, if you have the game, is also appreciated. Really big thanks for helping out~! :D Sake neko 10:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You're free to add whatever new information you like. Just don't add random spacing/huge empty space to articles. The spacing added is only distracting at best and doesn't really add anything to the article itself. Kyosei 19:10, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Categorizing by Japanese name order
Please do not add this anymore. The reason it is in English order is because that's how it is displayed in English language games. As this is an English based wiki, both the page names and category organization should reflect that. I'm going to be undoing all of the category changes you've done now. Apologies if that makes you feel offended but I'm letting you know ahead of time. Kyosei 19:42, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It may look weird to you, but that's how most of the general English population knows the characters better. First name first and then they might remember them by last name.


 * On a side note, thanks for updating the Kunoichi-related SW3 info. I had a feeling she wasn't making a return but due to one typo made by a voice actress everyone else thought so... -_- It's nice to see that finally cleared up. Kyosei 19:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Category Names - WO
I don't mind that at all personally. Kyosei 18:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia copy-pasta
This is more of a selfish request from me, but would you please do some research for the historical sections instead of just copying and pasting from wikipedia? It's a decent summary for most of the character's historical notations but usually the English version is not always as accurate as it should be. Plus, there are times when it says stuff that doesn't always coincide with some of the events that the games try to emphasize/exploit. I used to do the same for some characters, but then soon realized the above problems (like with Keiji and the Sanada Braves) and decided to set some time aside to look through books and websites. I won't mind if you keep it as a base and decide to build off of it though. Just don't leave it the same as the wikipedia entry. Sake neko 18:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Categories again
I feel these new categories by location are a bit redundant as it is essentially doing the same thing the battles category is already doing. Battles are already separated by the Warriors series they originate from. The parallel world one is unnecessary as each battle page already specifies it's different takes and incarnations it has in each respective Koei series it's in. At best parallel world could be a Warriors Orochi battle category but again not one that's not really necessary as they're not many unique to that series to begin with.

Secondly, do not categorize redirect pages like Tian Shui‎‎. These pages are not real articles and thus are not meant to be categorized. Kyosei 08:55, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Signing your posts
Just thought you'd like to know the correct way to sign a message you leave on talk pages. You don't have to manually use the code Name and the date. You just need to type ~. This will automatically sign your name and date your signature for you. Kyosei 04:31, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Warriors Orochi series template
It's for the characters/concepts that originate from this particular series, not for all the characters who appear in it. Kyosei 09:57, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Category naming
It's not like wikipedia because this isn't wikipedia. It's a gaming wiki that uses wikipedia software but there are no rules stating it has to organize things like wikipedia. What wikipedia does has no bearing on what is done here or has to be done here. Kyosei 18:38, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * You're still not getting the point I'm making. Yes, this is an informational source where people can look up things but in no way it is stated or formed based upon a formal information source. Wikis don't have to organize like them. It doesn't have to follow a certain naming/organization system, just one that is good enough to make sense for its users/readers to follow. It's quite informal here. Kyosei 18:47, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Copying and pasting from Samurai Archives
Even though not all of it is taken from the Samurai Archive wiki, some of it I see is taken straight from here for Matsunaga. In the future, I ask that you no longer do this. They explicitly state they do not allow any copying of their works to other websites without permission or proper credit/quotations. Unlike our wiki's relation with Koeiwarriors, we do not have any predisposed agreements with Samurai Archives to freely use their information in such a manner.

I personally respect their wishes and ask that you consider to do the same as well. Kyosei 09:35, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to let you know I will be erasing the historical information you added for Matsunaga. After reading between both this and the Samurai Archives article, I see you did no research and little to no paraphrasing. It is a near blatant copy from Samurai Archives and thus a copyright violation as Samurai Archives gives no copyleft rights to their writing.


 * I'm sorry in advance if this offends you but the original authors clearly state you may not copy any of their works as your own. Kyosei 12:10, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
