Ten Rings (Ta-Lo)
If the main article is Mandarin's rings, it makes no sense to have a part about Ta-Lo's rings, as they are not associated with the Mandarin, although inspired by the iron rings in the movie. Hyju (talk) 17:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps it is better that Ta-Lo's rings are in the entry for Ta-Lo, citing Ta-Lo's weapons, which have not yet been explained, but which served as inspiration for the Five Weapons Society.Hyju (talk) 17:15, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- The rings were never called the "Ten Rings" in the comics until Shang-Chi came out, so the article title is correct. It is fairly common for characters and objects in the comics to have their names changed from time to time. I see no problem with this. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:19, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, but Ta-lo's rings and Mandarin's rings are not the same.Hyju (talk) 17:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- But they are still a version of the Mandarin's rings, no? InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- To phrase it more clearly, the Ten Rings (MCU) is an adaptation of the Mandarin's rings (comics). The new Ten Rings (comics) is an adaptation of the Ten Rings (MCU). Therefore, the new Ten Rings (comics) is also an adaptation of the Mandarin's rings (comics). InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:24, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, but Mandarin rings also appeared in the next few months.Hyju (talk) 17:30, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- And that's also an adaptation of the Mandarin's rings (comics). In a nutshell, anything related to the Mandarin's rings/Ten Rings in the comics should go on Mandarin's rings, and anything related to the Ten Rings in the MCU should go on Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Ten Rings (organization). InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:32, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- After reading more about this, I think I'm more likely to agree with InfiniteNexus. It's a complicated situation, wherin the Mandarin's rings inspired the MCU Ten Rings, which ended up getting adapted into the comics with a slightly different backstory but still distinctive from the ten rings of the Mandarin. Plus, there's also the Ten Rings martial arts techniques from Master of Kung Fu: Battleworld that were inspired by the Mandarin's rings. I think that whole concept of reinterpreting the Marlukian rings as martial arts moves might have had a role in how they were portrayed in the MCU. Lipshiz (talk) 18:24, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Ta-Lo or Ta Lo
Gene Luen Yang is using the spelling "Ta Lo" in the comics as well as in the MCU, so I started the entry :"Ta-Lo or Ta Lo": Shang-Chi Gets Another Family Member (Shang-Chi #7 Spoilers).Hyju (talk) 20:47, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
- We can note the alternate spelling in the article, but the article title is still correct as
Ta-Lo
was the original spelling in the comics until Shang-Chi came out. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:19, 23 May 2022 (UTC)- Yang must have had access to the film's information, in issue 4, released on September 8, his mother appears is called Jiang Li (in the final version, she became Ying Li), just as it had been announced, as the film was released on the 2nd and 3rd (depends on the country) and the story should have been ready a few months ago, he worked with what he had, in the next issue she mentions that she came from another dimension, but only in issue 7, the dimension is named Ta Lo, I also noticed that the Ten Rings seem to have been an afterthought, in issue 4 of the miniseries, Brother Saber has a vision of the possessed Shang-Chi and with his father's clothes, this vision reappears in issue 10 of the series, but already in issue 12, which closes the series, we see him possessed and with his father's clothes, but now with the rings.Hyju (talk)
Archiving
Per WP:TALKCOND, archiving can also be done when there are multiple resolved or stale conversations, which there are for Love and Thunder. Plus with the movie releasing in a little over a month, the talk page is gonna start getting more active. -- Zoo (talk) 20:55, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's really not necessary at the moment. There is WP:NORUSH to set up auto-archiving. Like you said, after the movie comes out the talk page will likely blow up, so that will be the appropriate time to start archiving old discussions. But why do so now, when it is still early? InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:32, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- The MoM archive was set up way back in December with not much more at the time than Love and Thunder has now. Most of the time I've noticed archives are set up a month or a little sooner before the movie releases to prep for the influx of new topics leading up to and after the release. -- Zoo (talk) 21:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC
Jurassic World Dominion
I see that you have been repeatedly reverting at Jurassic World Dominion, and have indicated that you regard the editing you have been reverting as vandalism. It seems to me that the editor in question may be acting in the good faith belief that their change is an improvement, whether you and I agree or not. Bear in mind that the exemption from the edit-warring policy for reverting vandalism applies only for vandalism which is obvious and unambiguous. JBW (talk) 07:18, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @JBW: Thanks for the note. The IP ignored my explanation and repeatedly reinstated their edit without an explanation (with canned and misleading edit summaries), which is why I began to regard their edits as bad-faith vandalism. But I'll bear this in mind the next time I come across a similar situation. InfiniteNexus (talk) 15:27, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, InfiniteNexus, How do you do?
I wish to ask how do I access preferences page in my mobile.
