I would like permission to edit the 4kids entertainment article please

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Alfred R. Kahn—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 08:33, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks could you help me out the al Kahn related edits when I make them next Kirbopher2004 (talk) 22:58, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay guys since a majority of you have a bot how do I get one? Kirbopher2004 (talk) 05:53, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Alfred R. Kahn, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 02:50, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok did it again but this time with a link to the YouTube video that I got the information from Kirbopher2004 (talk) 02:56, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Materialscientist I had an idea how about when I make Alfred R Kahn edit you help me out in refining it Kirbopher2004 (talk) 21:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Beast Wars: Transformers, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 13:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your edit to Transformers: Beast Wars. The current text is correct:

Transformers: Beast Wars is an entertainment franchise from Hasbro, and it is part of the larger Transformers franchise. The fiction directly follows the Transformers: Generation 1 continuity established by the 1984 series and animated film. It ignores the continuity established by the Japanese Transformers series, though this franchise would have two exclusive Japanese series of its own.

Note that no one ever called the G1 show anime. There are two G1 shows - one American and one Japanese. The Japanese show expanded on the American show with more characters and episodes. The article specifically states that Transformers: Beast Wars continues on the American G1 show while ignoring the Japanese one. JIP | Talk 17:12, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, there. I'm responding to your edit made on voice actor Paul Dobson's wiki page. The date you put was December 7, 1963. I have reason to believe that the date used by behindthevoiceactors.com (BTVA) is incorrect. I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXN9twV-IsY) of Paul's brother Michael being interviewed by fellow voice actor Brent Miller. The video states that Michael is the "eldest Dobson". Assuming Michael's birthday of August 12, 1966 is correct (Michael has a website with links to both BTVA and IMDb), that would mean that Paul must have been born later. If the third brother, Brian Dobson, was born September 9, 1973, or 10 years after the eldest, Michael (I can't confirm it at the moment), then Paul is likely to be the second oldest of the three brothers (edit: I've found that Paul IS in fact the second oldest).

Do you think you can help me pass this information onto other wiki users?

I would be most grateful. AtlantisBabylon123 (talk) 00:36, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well from what I heard Michael is the oldest Dobson Paul is the middle and Brian is the youngest.

About getting in contact with Michael, I'm not very good with social media, so it's not going to be easy, especially since I live in Sydney (Australia) and Michael lives in Vancouver. An incorrect date of birth is not that big of an issue. I do think, however, that if wiki pages of individuals are going to include such personal details, they should be correct. The Dobsons are prolific voice actors, but not high-profile celebrities. So it may take some time before other wiki users get around to making proper edits to their pages. AtlantisBabylon123 (talk) 02:13, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS Would you mind positioning further responses to this thread IN the thread rather than on my own talk page? Things will be a little more organised that way (Just be sure to indent your paragraphs with an extra colon).

Well could you ask Bloom6132 to get in contact with Michael Dobson about this debate and to leave a message on my talk page about what Michael said about weather or not he is older then Paul or if Paul is older then him? Kirbopher2004 (talk) 22:29, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Kirbopher2004 (talk) 20:08, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful here: it appears that instead of requesting an undeletion, you copied the material from some other mirror. Without the attribution to the people that originally created the article, this raises a significant copyright concern. I've deleted the article for now; it would probably be best to raise the question at

deletion review or make a request to have a copy restored to the draft space so you can try to fix the rather large problem that led to the deletion of the original material. Kuru (talk) 15:44, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

So as a lot of you guys know from edits I made on the Terry Klassen and Ian James Corlett articles that the ocean voices of Goku and Krillin were also writing partners and had a production company that would help with script adaptations of international shows and movies and were hired by Funimation to help with rewriting both dragon ball and dragon ball z but does anyone know what the company was called back in the day and if so could you please tell me the name and then create an article on that company and I could potentially make edits to it when I know more about it.

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

• Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
• Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
• ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
• Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
• Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
• The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
• Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
• Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
• Le Panini
  , another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
• Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

• The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
• Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
• Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
• Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
• Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
• Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
• Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
• Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:

• The Rambling Man, with 1825 points from 3 featured articles, 44 featured article reviews, 14 good articles, 30 good article reviews and 10 DYKs. In addition, he completed a 34-article good topic on the EFL Championship play-offs.
• Epicgenius, a New York specialist, with 1083 points from 2 featured article reviews, 18 good articles, 30 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
• Bloom6132, with 869 points from 11 DYKs, all with bonus points, and 54 "In the news" items, mostly covering people who had recently died.
• Gog the Mild, with 817 points from 3 featured articles on historic battles in Europe, 5 featured article reviews and 3 good articles.
• Hog Farm, with 659 points from 2 featured articles and 2 good articles on American Civil War battles, 18 featured article reviews, 2 good articles, 6 good article reviews and 4 DYKs.
• BennyOnTheLoose, a snooker specialist and new to the Cup, with 647 points from a featured article, 2 featured article reviews, 6 good articles, 6 good article reviews and 3 DYKs.

In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

I've spoken with you about this twice before (#Steven Spielberg and #Stop reverting edits without explanation), and have made it clear to you that when reverting another editor's edit, you should include an edit summary. This edit did have some issues, namely that it cited IMDb, which is not a reliable source, but that still doesn't mean that you can revert it without saying why. The second cited source, an interview, does support most of what the IP editor added, so I don't see why the whole addition needed to be removed.

This is your final warning. If you again remove valid content without an explanation, I will have to refer this to an administrator. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 19:22, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

• Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
• AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
• Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
• GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
• Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
• SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
• Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on
