Hi, welcome to Sasukepedia Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Paul Hamm page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Scnoi1217 (Talk) 23:41, 21 June 2009

Just wanted to thank you for your help in editing Sasukepedia. TheRCShow 18:00, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

SASUKE 25
Please give permission to edit SASUKE 25. (220.134.110.14 (Talk) 22:44, 22:44, 22:49, and 22:50 17 February 2010) (114.32.212.73 (Talk) 26:06, 26:06, and 23:07 17 February 2010)


 * First of all, sign your comments. Second of all, format the heading properly. Third of all, no. There has been way too much speculation, especially among anonymous users. (HairMetalLives 23:00, February 18, 2010 (UTC))

So when will you give permission? - by Limin870716


 * I'm not sure exactly. I'll tell you this, though: Pestering me endlessly about it will not make me do it any sooner. (HairMetalLives 22:33, February 20, 2010 (UTC))

Sasuke 25
Why do you have leaved the page of sasuke 25? Why don't you putt in the page again? Omerjks 17:41, February 26, 2010 (UTC)) (signed for Omerjks by HairMetalLives)


 * I've got a question for you: Why don't you sign your comments? Also, your grammar and spelling are horrible.
 * Anyhow, I have explained why there is no page yet before twice, but I'll explain it again, and this will be the last time I explain it. There has been too much speculation on that page, especially among anonymous users. I am getting very tired of the endless questions about this. Like I mentioned above, pestering me non-stop about it isn't going to push me into creating/unlocking the page. (HairMetalLives 20:38, February 26, 2010 (UTC))

Thank you for unlocking the SASUKE 25 page. limin870716  Talk 01:21, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Japanese Graphics
Do you know if Google Translate will work for this wiki? because the japenese formats aren't coming on to tmy computer. Iamsofakingcool71 22:53 and 22:54, March 20, 2010 (UTC)) (signed for Iamsofakingcool71 by HairMetalLives)


 * Under the view menu of your browser, which character encoding setting are you using? If you're viewing this wiki with Unicode, the Japanese characters should be visable. If you're using Western, they'll appear as either syntax or empty boxes depending on which browser you've got. (HairMetalLives 20:34, March 21, 2010 (UTC))

SASUKE 25 Redlinks
Do you think you could create the redlinks on the SASUKE 25 page so we can see how the obstacles are? (Iamsofakingcool 23:50, March 28, 2010 (UTC))


 * I've been doing that for a while now. I've only got one left, the Bridge Jump. (HairMetalLives 23:51, March 28, 2010 (UTC))

Sure, I'll help you if I can (thumbs up). (Iamsofakingcool 23:54, March 28, 2010 (UTC))


 * I just started the Bridge Jump page, it just needs statistics. This SASUKE 25 stuff is going to take a while, so anything you can contribute will help. (thumbs up back at you! ;) (HairMetalLives 23:58, March 28, 2010 (UTC))

My modifies on Sasukepedia
Hi, I'm new on this wiki. I want to ask you, since I don't know well the english, if you can see my changes and improve it.Bartjks 12:51, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Trying my best
I've tried to help out, but I can't find anything for usefulness at all, I'm useless trying to help :( (Iamsofakingcool 06:15, April 11, 2010 (UTC))).


 * No problem. You're not useless, at least you care! The SASUKE 25 updates went rather quickly, which is good. There are always improvements to make to all competitions (not necessarily the competition pages themselves); SASUKE 25 is about on par with the other competitions now. There are some competitor pages that could be made; there are some people who reached the second stage that don't have pages. I guess if you see something that's amiss, go ahead and correct it. That's pretty much what there is to do around here at this time. (HairMetalLives 21:00, April 11, 2010 (UTC))

Thanks for the encouragement I'm finding little info, but not enough to post it (oh, well) I might as well keep trying, so if I find anything I'll tell you in advance. Are there any users with calivier attitudes that I should warn? (Don't worry I'm not gonna do anything bad).

It's working out better and I'm getting as many chances as I can to find information with my eyes and ears. I take back the useless comment and you are a very splendid user like Scnoi1217 because your edits are very careful and diligent, I congratulate you on that. Lastly, it was a damn good idea to block the SASUKE 25 for awhile, because several unregistered contributors were making a mess and I had to keep deleting the mistakes at the time. (Iamsofakingcool 04:24, April 14, 2010 (UTC))


 * Thank you for your complement. One thing I pride myself on is my thoroughness, whatever project I may be working on. Although my attention to minute details, admittedly, sometimes make me lose sight of the bigger picture ;).


 * "New" information rarely pops up; SASUKE runs two or three times a year, after all ;). It's good to have editors like you that actually care about the quality of their articles and the over all product. I, as a reader and as an administrator, commend you for that. (HairMetalLives 06:16, April 14, 2010 (UTC))

Thanks :) However will you please answer my question? Are there any users with caliver attitudes that I could set straight? Any persay you may have blocked out? (Iamsofakingcool 06:00, April 15, 2010 (UTC))


 * Trying to put this lightly, "setting users straight" (for lack of a better term) is our job, not yours; backseat moderating is somewhat frowned upon. We have a terrific group of administrators here who act in the best interest of this Wiki, whether it be dealing with wayward users or blocking pages that are magnets for vandals/speculators. (HairMetalLives 20:00, April 15, 2010 (UTC))

Okay, I'm just asking, and I don't mean block out because I can't. Anyhow as in tell them what not to do. Sorry for the confusion. (Iamsofakingcool 23:27, April 16, 2010 (UTC))

SASUKE Jeapordy
So you decided to enter eh? Awesome, your a good user you might as well have a little fun enjoy. Once a few more people sign up well start, good luck. (Iamsofakingcool 05:33, April 21, 2010 (UTC))

New Pages
I've been putting new pages on this wiki (Edo Harumi for example) do you think these are nessecary? (Iamsofakingcool 06:30, April 24, 2010 (UTC))

SASUKE Jeapordy
Thanks for backing me up about Bartjks's editing issues. Anyway that's not why I came, the competition is starting so get ready. (Iamsofakingcool 16:21, April 24, 2010 (UTC))

Hurry up it's started. (Iamsofakingcool 19:05, April 24, 2010 (UTC))

Aw, man you lost to Scnoi1217. Anyway thank you for entering. Your not a loser, or anyone else who entered. Better luck next time. (Iamsofakingcool 23:27, April 24, 2010 (UTC))


 * The competition was only four hours? That's way too short a time frame. I haven't had a chance to use the computer until now. Count me out next time. (HairMetalLives 01:31, April 25, 2010 (UTC))

Really? I didn't know really. I wasn't trying to be unfair to you, there was a time limit and you didn't answer. If you ever reconsider put a time when your ready next time and I'll wait. Or you could just stick with your answer. (Iamsofakingcool 17:23, April 25, 2010 (UTC))

Old Tournament Pages
We're gonna need to re-look at all of the older tournament pages because there is A LOT of stuff missing in terms of consistency with the other pages, people that competed that were completely left out of the tables, and all of the translations of the competitors. Most look like google disasters. Scnoi1217 19:14, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

SASUKE Rounds Issues
One more thing. That SASUKE Rounds thing was just a prototype, I should of put prototype competition. If you want to give me a time when you (or if you ever) forgive me about this incident. I actually regret doing this because I realize the mistakes I used. For example placing people into groups and not hosting the competition jeapordy style wouldn't make any sense so sorry. I hope you can forgive me, and go on with our editing without bringing this up. You were actually a little bit abrasive. (Iamsofakingcool 22:09, April 25, 2010 (UTC))


 * There's really nothing to forgive. I don't hold anything against you. Holding something like that against someone would be trivial and downright silly. I am sorry if you took my comment as abrasive. I didn't mean to come off that way, if I did, I owe you an apology. If I may comment about the competition (which I wouldn't have won under any circumstances), the only problem was the time element. For something that's online like that, the time limit should be in days, not hours. I used to take part in an online version of The Price is Right (now defunct) and I think the time limit for everything was three days. (HairMetalLives 23:43, May 6, 2010 (UTC))

That's fine. I just want to drop the whole thing that's all. Haven't heard from you for awhile. I forgive you and I know you were a little suprised. I kept giving warnings that it was going to start. But I guess I just didn't give enough. I'm holding something else soon and if you still want to be counted out that's okay. The SASUKE Rounds thing should have been longer, yes, but that's over with. This one is going to be at least a week, however I haven't decided how long to make it or how to many stages there should be.. (Iamsofakingcool 05:21, May 7, 2010 (UTC))

ANW
Do you think we should create articles for ANW competitions? (Iamsofakingcool 19:16, May 20, 2010 (UTC))

That's pretty much what the entire American Ninja Challenge page is for. Anshinritsumai 20:10, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Really? I thought it was just a placeholder. (Iamsofakingcool 02:55, May 21, 2010 (UTC))

You have to consider the fact that we cater to the Japanese broadcasts more so than the American broadcasts or trials. Sure, it's nice to know that they exist and are going on, but it's not our primary focus. We don't need an actual page for the "competition", just a simple statistics section like we did for ANW1 on the ANC page. Anshinritsumai 03:56, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

I was gonna suggest making a main article and making a section of ANW on there. But if you think it's okay how it is then so be it. Your an administrator, and I'm not, so better your suggestions be used then mine.(Iamsofakingcool 06:18, May 21, 2010 (UTC))


 * To answer the original question, absolutely not. I pretty much second what Anshinritsumai has already stated. The farther something is removed from SASUKE, the lower the priority. As far as I'm concerned, American Ninja Warrior has about as much to do with SASUKE as a bologna sandwich does. (HairMetalLives 23:31, May 23, 2010 (UTC))

I'm saying that he's right, and we've already discussed this so I just agreed that were gonna leave it the way it is. It was a suggestion. (Iamsofakingcool 23:26, May 24, 2010 (UTC))

Ryulong
You blocked the user Ryulong today with the edit summary (Vandalism, moving pages around. Blocking until I can undo all of his screw-ups). It seems as though you have undone his "screw-ups." You may have forgotten to unblock him, so this is just a friendly reminder to do so. Also, when blocking someone, it is usually not best to disallow them to edit their own talk page because they may want to explain themselves or respond. ~Scoot


 * Don't tell me what to do. A user can explain himself when his suspension is over. Also, the user in question later E-Mailed me and because of what he wrote, he won't be editing this Wiki anymore. (HairMetalLives 00:33, July 4, 2010 (UTC))


 * A user should not be blocked for 1 year unless it was excessive vandalism or he harassed you through the e-mail. Cursing in an email whether it was directed at you or not, does NOT warrant a 1 year block. According to your block policy, a user should only be blocked for 1 year if it was 10 vandalism edits or more. According to the definition of vandalism, this user did not even commit 1 act of vandalism. Assuming good faith says to use your better judgment on whether or not the user meant actual harm or was trying to make a good wiki edit. That was certainly not used in this situation. By blocking the user for 1 year, you may have lost a good contributor to the wiki. ~Scoot


 * He decided it would be a good idea to mouth off to me. If you don't stop backseat moderating, you're next. (HairMetalLives 01:13, July 4, 2010 (UTC))


 * Could you explain your definition of backseat moderating please? ~Scoot


 * Backseat moderating - roughly what you're doing. #1 rule of websites - don't question moderators. I do want to mention though, what exactly could he have said that caused you to block him for that length of time? (I realize it was inappropriate, just roughly what did he say? You can PM me if you wish.) TheRCShow 02:09, July 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would like to see the conversation in question before making judgement. The user's edits did seem to be in good faith (I've heard that the spelling for the Jyunidantobi page wasn't correct before) and not vandalism. I will say that a 1 year suspension is a bit harsh especially for a member who has not (yet) committed any problems to the wiki. However I would like it if both parties were able to voice their opinions about spellings/edits etc. in public like HairMetalLives has requested. That would require the overrule of the ban though. Scnoi1217 02:23, July 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * (Edit conflict-directed at TheRCshow) I am stating policies which are supposed to be followed, which in this situation were ignored. Sysop is a set of toosl for trusted users to keep a wiki in order. Most wikis have the policy all users are equal which means that sysops have no more of a say in matters than normal editors (more info here). "Not questioning moderators" is not a good way to run a wiki and is looked down upon by the community. The blocked user said to Hair in the E-mail that he "fucked up" on the decision to block him for 7 days unsolicited. ~Scoot


 * This is directed at Scnoi. You can allow Ryulong to edit his own talk page and continue the discussion there. ~Scoot


 * This totally ruins the idea of wikis. All users are equal. All Sysops are a users with extra tools, no one owns the wiki. So therefore there is no backseat moderating. BTW by saying you own the wiki you are breaking one of Wikia's guidelines.  Manyman  (Talk)  02:54, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

No. It dosen't ruin the purpose of wikis. Ryulong was banned for a reason. I've been to like nearly 60 wikis that serve the same purpose, so this is common. If you break the rules you get banned. Ha, thats all there is to it. (Iamsofakingcool 04:33, July 4, 2010 (UTC))

He wasn't breaking the rules. Now you see what you've done dude, he's left because now this wiki has a bad reputation for sysops. I can't believe you'd do this man! This was the worst thing that could happen, now this Ryulong issue is gonna go around to other users on SMF most likely. (Iamsofakingcool 05:06, July 6, 2010 (UTC))
