Talk:Ball-jointed doll

message: There are a few different types of joints used in these "ball-jointed" dolls I believe.
The most basic of which consists of a joint like the one displayed in this diagram. --Stolen Vehicle (talk) 10:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Different types of "ball joints" 

message: There should be a link to the Dollfie line since Volks also makes the Super Dollfie line. It is a relevant topic.

replies: text: Thank you for starting a topic for discussing this. This article is about BJDs, I don't really see the need for linking to unrelated products from companies that also make BJDs. Siawase (talk) 16:32, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi Bella. Thanks for your offer. I have looked at your proposed edits and I'm afraid that as far as I can tell, you want to add lots of advertising and commercial links which is ABSOLUTELY not allowed on Wikipedia. The edits you describe would be considered WP:PROMOTIONAL, which is not permissible. Also, I do not think you understand the issues with copyright on Wikipedia, where even a picture you have taken of an existing doll might be considered a copyright violation because the doll itself is an object under copyright. Wikipedia is also not a place for "how to" guides or "Newbie Guides" or for questions-and-answers sections. Put such stuff on your own blog or website where it belongs as it will only be removed from Wikipedia if added here. Mabalu (talk) 13:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Submitted by [[User:Bella Chen Xu|Bella Chen Xu]], moving to end of discussion 

message: I'm a bit concerned about this recent edit with the edit summary "...and added additional information about BJD sizes and types...". While plenty of new content was added, it seems that entire sections and many references were removed. Perhaps this edit ought to be done bit by bit. Thoughts?

replies: text: Yeah, a lot of problems with those edits, deletion of verified/verifiable material without explanation, and addition of material with no sourcing whatsoever, and some that's only sourced to companies themselves, which borders on WP:SPAM. Companies need to have independent sourcing before they're added here, to avoid spamming. I reverted back to the last verified version, so we can discuss what to do here.

replies: text:  Psst. We may have a problem here. Person keeps adding the same info back in using both ISP and ID. If I revert this time I will be in violation of 3RR so would appreciate a third opinion. Mabalu (talk) 15:48, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I took at look at the sources they used, which are literally the first two google hits when you search for the brand in Korean. One looks like a wiki (ie not a reliable source) and the other (from what I could glean using google translate) appears to be a blog set up by the Seoul Government to promote entrepreneurship ie, not an independent but rather a promotional source. As such I reverted the addition. Siawase (talk) 17:07, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  A very major edit 

message: There are many US doll artists and companies that are notable.  The author of the book you use as a source is highly prejudicial, or else you are.  These companies are all Asian when there is a thriving contingent here in the USA who need to be sourced and given at least a mention.  Frankly, a couple of the companies in your line up are not even in business anymore. I am and several others here in the USA.  The main book and the main online forum are both prejudicial in favor of Asian companies.  Why do they all gain mention and yet those of us right her in the USA are ignored?  Most of us are award winning artists with international acclaim, excellent practices, clear expertise and not one of us has been sourced.  Why?  What about Bergemann Dolls, Tracy Porter Dolls, Extreme Dolls, JPop Dolls, Berdine Creedy Dolls, Tonner Doll Company?  The list goes on and yet I've seen this article more than once for years I think and still we go unmentioned. All because the major forum online which is the backer of the book you sourced is prejudiced against US artists.  There are also well known notable artists in France and Australia among other countries.  But only those in Asia seem to matter.  Truly sad and downright wrong!  - Bo Bergemann

:To include a specific brand on Wikipedia, you need reliable sources that are independent of the brand, to demonstrate WP:WEIGHT/WP:NOTABILITY. And to be included in this article, the brand needs to be described in independent sources as being a ball-jointed doll specifically. (Though, since you appear to have a conflict of interest you are discouraged from editing this article directly.) You mentioned Tonner, but they already have a dedicated article at Tonner Doll Company, Inc., the creator even has his own article at Robert Tonner, and they are mentioned in the Fashion doll article, since they are usually discussed as fashion dolls by reliable sources, not ball-joined dolls. Note that this article does mention Goodreau Doll (US) and Sybarite (British) because they have been described as ball-jointed dolls by independent reliable sources.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I was searching for "kyutai kansetsu ningyo" but no wiki articles came out. 
then I re do the search under ball jointed doll. 
Kyutai Kansetsu Ningyo is the Japan version of the doll.
I do not have much information of any depth on this.
May I suggest authors to do some research.
or at least enable the search to link back to this page
thank you  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.92.125.119 (talk) 00:55, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
