User talk:Daimajin1966

I am asking you to please slow down your editing pace or at least try to make edits at the same time rather than in a streak of dozens. The reason I keep having to rollback your edits is because you are making sweeping standardization changes across pages, many of which you have been specifically asked to stop making, and it becomes impossible to parse the minor corrections you are making from unapproved pedantic changes. And when these are reverted, please do not immediately add them back because it just creates the same problem again.

Daimajin - there's no reason to do 40 edits in the span of a few minutes. Do one or two.

Daimajin, please. We warned you and you are continuing to ignore us. I am asking you to please stop edit-warring with the staff and making dozens of consecutive edits, many of which you have been specifically asked to stop. This is your last warning, we're tired of doing this routine.

You've been changing the way foreign titles are capitalized: please consider that titles in foreign languages do not necessarily follow the same capitalization rules as in English. Most of the ones you've changed over the past couple of days were already correct. If you're not sure how to capitalize foreign titles, you should probably leave them alone.

Okay, that was my fault. I won't touch them anyone.

You were already directly asked to stop adding parenthetical years next to mentions of movie titles where another film with the same title does not already exist. Please don't do it anymore.

Please stop changing all mentions of "mech" to "mecha." Both words are acceptable. I have been asking you to stop doing this for a while.

Please stop putting words in italics in order to emphasize them. I've been asking you to stop this for months now, yet you still continue to do it.

This is the third time you've tried calling the two Mechagodzillas we see at the end of this issue the first of an army. I don't see anything in the issue to that effect - please explain?

I was always presuming that the Simians were creating more than two Mechagodzillas because the picture seemed to imply that, at least to me. It looked like the beginning of something big. It would also make more sense to use an army instead of just one.

Also, in the Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus articles here, one mentions an army and one a fleet, but I forget which one is which.

However, if you believe I'm wrong, I'll accept that too. Do with it as you will.

It's possible, but not stated directly, and alien races in Godzilla media have a long history of invading Earth with only a few giant monsters/mechs at their disposal. Best to leave it out.

Since you put it that way, okay, I'll leave it alone. Thanks for asking.

If you want to, the taglines for the Marvel Godzillas should probably be in a {{Quote}} template above the opening statement instead of in trivia.

E.g. "His Mightiest Challenge Ever!"/"Here Comes Yetrigar! The Biggest Big Foot of them All!" becomes:

“	His Mightiest Challenge Ever! Here Comes Yetrigar! The Biggest Big Foot of them All!	„
	— The issue's taglines

Otherwise I can do them.

Yes, thank you! If you could do that, that would be great! Please see if you can also find any I might have missed and keep me posted.

Alright, I updated all of them.

Thanks!

You are clearly not listening to any feedback I have been giving you about your edits. I continue to need to comb through dozens of your edits to undo your attempts to standardize things sitewide without consulting anyone and oftentimes after being told not to do so. None of your edits consist of actually adding information, they are entirely just changing formatting and wording of things, often without any logical reason. You have admitted that you were banned from Wikipedia before, and if you did the same things there that you do here I can see why. This is your last warning. The next time I see you mass-change something you have specifically been warned not to change, you will be blocked.

What's wrong with putting in a reference to the subject of the IDW version of Monster Island/the Monster Islands? That way people can look it up easily wherever they go. I don't see why you're making such a big stink about nothing. Why, when I put qoutes on all the IDW and Dark Horse comics' descriptions, do you accept it, and then complain about something as minor as this? Believe me, no one cares but you. I think this is obviously a perfect case of the pot calling the kettle black. It specifically says on the main page if anything needs fixing, you can fix it. As I said, all I was doing was placing a reference to a subject in the IDW Comics' mainstream Godzilla story line wherever it was needed in the three series. Why do I have to ask permission for that - or anything else, for that matter? Please, give me one good reason why I'm wrong here. I've done references before since the last warning you gave me and you never said anything until now. In fact, did you even look at what the references were before you deleted them/ Next time, please ask first before jumping to conclusions. I say what I did was a help, not a hinderance.

Btw, the Minette and Mallory reference in Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters is called "Minette and Mallorie" every time it's listed (I didn't do this; it was already there, so please, blame the person who screwed it up instead of me), so I changed it to refer to the right spelling so it wouldn't have to redirect all the time. You're welcome.

If you pay attention, you'd notice that I do not undo any edits you make that are approved changes or simple grammar/syntax fixes. However, you tend to edit dozens of pages at once and make countless unapproved changes that you have been repeatedly warned to stop making, that other staff and I are forced to parse through. For instance, I have told you to stop adding "the" in front of entries on bulleted lists countless times, yet you continue to do it. If you unilaterally decide you want to change something on every single page on the site, you should probably run it by staff first before doing it and then throwing a fit when I undo it. Your flippant attitude about my warnings is not helping your case either.

What about the Monster Island/Monster Islands references? They're not wrong. Can I please put them back, or is that verbotten, too?

There is no reason to link to a specific section on the Monster Island page on all of the IDW comic pages. It would be like having [[Godzilla#IDW Comics|Godzilla]] on those pages as well.

You've been given about twenty final chances already, but the next time you arbitrarily change the spelling or capitalization of every instance of something on a page without asking anybody, you're getting banned for real. It's getting beyond ridiculous.

I did what I did because, in a scientific name, specific names aren't capitalized, only generic names. Everyone with even a modicum of scientific knowledge knows this. Properly speaking, it's T-rex and V-rex; no capital "R". And another thing: it was a "family group of three V-rexes", so why change that? No one in the scientific world calls a young animal a "youth", it would be a "young one" (the term "youth" is only used for people), Skull Island reptiles#Unnamed carnivore is capitalized because that's the way it is in the list itself (just look it up and you'll see it is) and what's wrong with "the official tie-in game to the 2005 film"? One wouldn't know that by looking at it the way it's written now.

Besides, there's a few examples of the name V-rex in that same article that aren't spelled with a capital "R". They're in Books (King Kong (2005)) and Comics (King Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World). Does this mean they have to be changed, too? Btw, these two sections do V-rex correctly and everything else in this article doesn't. That's why I did all this.

And btw, where exactly does it say in the rules of this website that one has to ask someone in charge to do what was done here? Please show me this, as I feel like I'm back in high school again and I have to ask for a hall pass just to go to the bathroom. I also honestly feel like I'm being singled out for no particular reason other than the sake of doing so. I feel this isn't fair and that I'm doing no harm to anyone, not even you guys. If anyone else did this, I'll bet anything you'd let them do it. This whole thing, I think, is a obvious case of nit-picking, nothing more.

„

This is simply not true. If you had a "modicum" of scientific knowledge, you'd know the abbreviated form of Tyrannosaurus rex is "T. rex" with a period and lower-case R. "T-Rex" is common parlance that doesn't strictly follow binomial naming conventions, so the R is often capitalized. It's even written that way in the Wikipedia article for the species. You could confirm this if you took two seconds to Google it, but you would rather sass me and flaunt your bloated sense of self-importance. Not to mention that we're talking about a fictional dinosaur, whose name should be dictated by the people that created it. There are quotes in the article where it is clearly spelled "V-Rex."

“

And another thing: it was a "family group of three V-rexes", so why change that? No one in the scientific world calls a young animal a "youth", it would be a "young one" (the term "youth" is only used for people), Skull Island reptiles#Unnamed carnivore is capitalized because that's the way it is in the list itself (just look it up and you'll see it is) and what's wrong with "the official tie-in game to the 2005 film"?

When you click the "rollback" button, it reverses the whole burst of changes made by a person. When you publish tens of edits in a row, over half of them entirely useless and arbitrary, it is far easier to just roll the whole thing back and start from scratch.

„

...yes. I don't know why on Earth you would come to the conclusion that the way it's spelled the minority of times is the way it should be on the entire article. It being capitalized inconsistently is an error, but your solution was to come to a wild conclusion about how it ought to be written that isn't even accurate to the way the filmmakers stylize it.

I think these two policies describe the situation pretty well:

• Wikizilla:Civility - "Civility is a standard of conduct that editors should follow. In short, it means treat people politely and with respect even if you are disagreeing with them. [...] Uncivil behavior consists of any behavior designed or intended to create stress or conflict. [...] Disruptive editing is closely related to not being civil, although it is possible to edit tendentiously without being uncivil."
• Wikizilla:Edit warring - "Situations will inevitably arise where editors have differing views about some aspect of a page's content. When this happens, editors are strongly encouraged to engage in civil discussion to reach a consensus, and not to try to force their own position by combative editing[.]"

Our job as moderators is to maintain the site's pages and reverse edits that are harmful or unhelpful. When you repeatedly make these types of edits that you are told time and time again not to, refuse to fact-check anything you add or change and then end up apologizing for not knowing, and get mouthy with us when we tell you that punishments will be levied against you, there doesn't need to be one rule to spell out that that's a problem. You can protest all you'd like, but I'm telling you the next time it happens, you're out of here.

Then if if I'm not wanted here, please delete my username and account effective immediately and I'll go away and never come back, if that's what you'd like.

What I'd like is for you to make constructive edits that consist of more than pedantically changing spelling and grammar in a bid to make everything sound more "distinguished." If you have actual content to add to the pages, then be my guest. Attitude aside, I have no problem with you personally, I have a problem with the way you engage with the site.

I've got a Toho kaiju film that should be put in here: The Phoenix (1978).

If anyone wants more info, Toho Kingdom has an article on it in their Movies section.

Thats not a kaiju film.

Okay. I was under the impression that the Phoenix (which, surprisingly, was an anime creature in an otherwise live action film, IIRC) could be considered a kaiju, since it is literaly, a "strange beast" - which, I guess, is what "kaiju" means.

Actually, the Phoenix is more like Kaibutsu (Strange Creature) than Kaijū. Kaibutsu is the Japanese umbrella term for monster, while Kaijū encompass certain kind of Monsters.

Information on this movie online is pretty lacking (Toho Kingdom's page on the Phoenix itself has been empty for as long as I can remember), which does not point to it being super relevant to us. We can't hope to cover every movie by the major Japanese studios that have some sort of monster in them, and this Phoenix appears to be tiny. But somebody should probably watch it and report back.

I could try to work on the page sometime, I am familiar to the film. I just need to muster the motivation to write ✍️

I would consider any film that is mentioned in a Godzilla relevant book to be relevant to this Wiki. But that doesn’t always equal to manpower. But I could try to work out some of those pages when I can.

We're currently in the midst of deliberating on what non-Godzilla Toho films should be fair game. The way it's going, I don't think The Phoenix will count.

Oh, I see, but Reiko still counts? So not every film included in Godzilla relevant books count on this wiki?

Reiko would probably fall outside the scope if we move forward with the current rules we're thinking of.

Im concerned about this honestly

Specifically about Cloverfield and Rampage

Im aware they are not Toho Films but the respective Wikis they are on dont do a good job covering these films or monsters at all

And i feel many of us have grown use to them being here and dont want to see them go along with some other non toho/kadokawa japanese kaiju films here and foreign films.

I dont want any kaiju or kaijin films removed.

I error

Why is "But my monster size" even an arguement anymore we got tons of Toho/Kadokawa/Daiei films where the monsters are not even giant (or in tohos case no monsters at all)

It's a consideration, not an ironclad rule.

I browsed through the copy of the film on archive.org and did not see any monsters.

I remember someone said that an old article by toho said it was in the showa continuity of Godzilla films, but I don't remember who said that.

Are you sure didn’t mean the Godzilla canon? Canon and Continuity are very different, but often confused.

It's a jidaigeki, so that's very unlikely

The Japanese Wikipedia says it's a tokusatsu film, Teruyoshi Nakano was in charge of special effects, and Akiji Kobayashi played in the film.

Wow! When I suggested this film, I didn't know that this would happen. I'd like to see how this'll turn out.

One question: the Toho Kingdom article said that The Phoenix was released in the U.S. in 1979 by Toho International. Did it get a very wide release in this country or not?

I’m from Taiwan, and was born after 1979, I don’t know.

Thanks anyway. Does anyone else know anything about this?

I'm getting tired of having to tell you this. Why are all of your edits these obsessive systematic mass-"corrections" of pages? It is getting absolutely ridiculous having to comb through dozens of consecutive edits to undo the nonsensical or incorrect things you have changed while preserving the minor spelling and grammar corrections. I do not understand why all of your edits are like this, and why you still refuse to change anything after repeated warnings from several users. You act like you are "correcting" things when you are just needlessly complicating the phrasing of certain things to make them sound more intelligent. Or in some cases you are actively making things incorrect. For example, the plural of "Meganulon" is just "Meganulon," and I would appreciate it if you stopped adding an "s."
