User talk:Taikage/Archive 1

Hi! Just saying hi cause u seem like an active user online =) anyways just wanted to ask if u wanna collaborate and complete the database together. when i joined there used to be an admin and very active, but it seems to have died down abit now. so just asking if u wanna work together and see this place grow and expand =)

Thanks for your attention Sealedsoul 09:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

what do you have in mind?
I'm mainly writing up Gundam 00 articles so I'm not sure what do you have in mind.

Wasabi 09:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Fixing and expanding all Gundam 00 sections
just basically expanding and fixing up all the articles in the gundam 00 sections for now. Mostly info about the series, and all that. Alot of the pages dont have the correct categories or templates and stuff, alot of them also have incorrect data and different layouts. Basically just fix and expand =)

Sealedsoul 10:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll handle expansion
I'll be focusing on creating detailed pages regarding the characters and do my best to notice grammatical issues. I don't really do links has it distorts my eyes from reading so please fill those in whenever you have the time. I'll be filling in a lot of missing information for the majority of the characters over the next week or two, so just catch up with me with the links and add/correct anything.

Wasabi 10:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Create pages and wat not
ok then ill do links and create pages on suits and other stuff. Oh whenever u make/edit a page make sure u check if theres a category and template at the end, if so still make sure its the correct one so people can search for it alot easier. Ill try and keep up somehow balancing study and this abit so yea.

Hope we can help this place grow and wat not =)

edit : if u wanna talk u can use the Chat (mirc) on the left. Im from Australia so ill probably be around that timeframe.

Sealedsoul 10:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the support
I'll be reliant on you for corrections then. I know left grammatical errors here and there, but I wanted to at least complete the overall picture of the characters and then go back to quality control. Things would go faster if you could help me on that as well. I'm from NYC by the way, so our timing is almost the opposite, then again i'm a late night sort of guy so I'm also found at your hrs as well. I wish you luck on your studies as well. By the way do you know when will they air the remaining episodes? I saw August on the ending of the series, but don't read japanese to figure out was it a different mention or not. It's not that important i guess. Thanks for your support, probably the only few guys that follow up on peoples work, appreciate your efforts man.

Wasabi 10:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Last check on when they were airing the next season or continuation was around October this year. The day that it airs isnt know yet so yeah. Its around that time and i have my finals around that time ironically enough...


 * And yeah no problems with the support, ill try to help out as much but somedays i just get lazy and dont contribute as much =P


 * Sealedsoul 12:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

How's it going?
Dude, haven't seen you in action in a while. Been busy? I'm pretty much done with the Meister's and moving on to the sub-characters. I'll fill in relationship info at a far later time (since it's not that important). My final works will be on Marina Ismail and finalizing Sumeragi. I'll be moving on to Gundam X. I just saw the whole series under 24hrs and want to work on it while still fresh in my head. Please do me a favor and correct Unicborg, the dude seriously adds in some of the worst grammatical additions EVER! He's like that little kid that wants to help, but only complicate matters. Hope all is well you man.

Wasabi 10:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * yea ive been around but exams so ive been abit busy sorry. I have been back and forth but dont want to commit to too many long term projects just yet still got exams exams and more exams... I havnt watched Gundam X yet so i cant really help out much there ... ill try and keep up the gundam OO parts but i think i wont be on the site much soon cause finals coming up... non stop exams .. god i hate school.
 * PS next time post on my usertalk i almost missed this one =)
 * Sealedsoul 10:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Upgrade to Admin
So the reason why i put this forward is. You work hard, you work harder than me ! Therefore its only fair for me to ask if you wish to become a admin(sysop) which allows u extra powers such as block user and delete pages. I have also requested and implemented a 'login only' editing. This is in hopes of maintaining the low vandalism of pages. This also allows us to more actively track user contributions. So talk on my page if you want to. I'm still testing things out thats why you see a lot of mistakes by me =P Sealedsoul 13:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I could go either way with it. To be honest though i just write and don't care too much about administrator work (did it for 2 yrs with students), but if it's something we can share power over, cool. If the admin thing is limited to a single person, you can take it. After Gundam 00, besides occasional refining, i'm not going to bother with any of the other Gundam series for a while because it's my final year at college and I i have to run a computer club and go through computer training and exams. It's basically a long winded event, but i'll still edit a few things here and there whenever i'm bored of the lectures in between the time. I'll probably do some serious editing next year. What we really need is pics for the  pages. Anyway, good luck on your things man.

Wasabi 05:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Well admin thing is not just for one person its something I can share easily. Its nothing much to give you, (alot to take back..) but yea i trust that you wont screw up everything anyways. I understand that you wont be contributing as much, just look at me I haven't been doing much (final exams coming up thats why) so yeah theres no time limit on admin so you can have it on as long as you want! So yea tell me what you think of it and get back to me.

Gundam Semantics
I've started a small interesting discussion at Forum:Gundam Semantics you might want to take a look at it. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk&#124;local) Aug 18, 2008 @ 03:13 (UTC)
 * Since I made an infobox, now data can be used in SMW effectively, could you please comment on how you feel about using semantics here Forum:Gundam Semantics. Simant 03:19, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about the Ribbons thing, I thought it was weird there wasn't a page for a major character. I assumed there'd been Engrish material calling him "Livonze" and it'd stuck, more fool me. GlauG 15:19, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Im new here and joined to help in editing this wiki. Anyway I thought id tell you that in the recent article you made called GNX Bushido Custom the mecha image you have there is Fanart, it was posted on the animesuki forums a few weeks ago on the image thread. Just thought I'd let you know. Deus257 20:38, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, i'll change the data accordingly when new information arrives. Please continue to help edit articles for Anno Domini Gundam 00, so few editors to contribute.

Wasabi 04:40, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Fanon=> Canon?
Not to say you did bad edit (It's perfectly legitimate), but I do find it funny that both the "Backpack MS" and Ribbons = 0 gundam pilot is confirmed in Ep 14 of S2. Maybe the Combination mode is also real?

You're right
You had me on that one. I only doubted the Ribbons connection because it doesn't seem logical that an original Gundam Meister would somehow end up not continuing to work with Celestial Being, rather help destroy it. It just doesn't seem believable until i saw the episode myself. So I apologize for the trouble in your edits, you're right. It's just that there was no solid confirmations until now. As for the GATTAI! combination system, it's a car crash i'm curious to see. A combiner Gundam!? This is either going to be good or really bad.

Wasabi 10:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

00 Gundam changes.
Hi.

I'm new here and i don't really know if i written something wrong, and of course if i did i'm sorry, but why are people so stuck on 00 Gundam's Trans-Am 300% efficiency. There were at least 2 statements in the anime telling that it goes above that (Ep. 10 - Anew,Ep. 19 -Mileina), and one (the one by Mileina) stating that it is 7 times not 3. I don't want the article to changed 1000 times becouse of that, so please if you would correct it.

P.S I'm not really good at talking, so please don't take it personally.

Possible Position
Hey Taikage ! Long time no talk xD

Well, the reason i have contributed much if at all since i became admin was because i had exams and stuff, life wasnt going too well. But things have gotten better since then and i was hired to help out in MechaBay.

It's a new site created by the previous Admin here and with me a new admin here xD. Anyways in short i would like to invite you in helping this new site get up and running. Mechabay is meant to be a more comprehensive and coordinated encyclopedia of gundam and other mecha related animes. The coding is the same if not close to the coding you use here. Ill ask my boss if you can just import most of the articles but currently were working on a style.

Anyways come drop by and have a look. If you like to view stay xD

Thanks, Sealedsoul 15:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

PS: discussed with my boss and he wants your msn xD So if possible join on mechabay and post on his talk page, Thanks again SS


 * Hi there. It has been a long time since I've worked on articles here. It's good to see people active and still trying to help improve this wiki. As Sealed mentioned, we are working on a new database that would encompass the mecha genre. We are still in the process of drafting up the style guides and policies. We want to have a proper structure and standardized way of writing articles. If you are interested, do get in touch with me. -- - ValiantHeart (talk) 16:17, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Well its the end of May, I would have commented earlier but been busy with the site and Uni so didnt have much time to visit. Anyways your role there would pretty much be the same as here but you would have more moderating powers to deal with vandalism and other such matters. The main difference is that at Mechabay it is not restricted to Gundam series only, it will be for all Mecha, therefore you can either pick a season within a series and work on that or any season from any series. The issue why things should be moved from here to Mechabay is the restrictions of Wikia and the freedom of users to vandailse the articles, Yes it is a small issue but its one less thing to worry about. Please consider contributing to Mechabay in any form, for articles that were created by you, you can move them to mechbay as long as the sources are recognized. If your still interested keep in touch Sealedsoul 04:25, 31 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope to hear from you soon. You can email me here or on MechaBay. Sealed covered pretty much everything that needs to be covered. If you have any further questions do contact the both of us. -- - ValiantHeart (talk) 16:37, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi iLm intregured. What is this 00 Quinta that you added to the wiki. Ilm a huge setsuna/00 fan so i'm interested. User:Phoenix304

Greetings
Hello,I'm a relatively new member on this site.I'm hoping I would be able to contribute something to the 00 pages,even if a little.Um.......would be nice to know if there's a place to discuss things,since sometimes one needs to justify an edit,especially a big one like saying Masuruo has 2 Drives,which I did a week ago or so.

If you need any help or anything,ask and I'll try to help you however I can.

[Note: Forgot to sign this....I think I'm a few days late]

revert
Why did you revert from the template? Simant 16:48, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * How is it difficult to customize? What needs to be fixed in your opinion to make it presentable..? Simant 16:59, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * I can easily fix that, i will get to it, shouldnt take more then 15 minutes. Simant 17:06, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Done, and resolved, use the variable customwidth to set a custom width for all the images. IF you want a custom width for each image (though that would be pointless kinda), ask me also.Simant 17:14, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Look at this revision to see an example of how to use the customwidth. Also, I wrote very detailed instructions on Template page on how the infobox works (its complex, so even i needed look at it every now and then). Scroll down to the bottom to see the reason for each variable and some shortcuts for some stuff such as typing MS, instead of Mobile Suit. Simant 17:33, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, if you have any problems with what I wrote for #3, in the side notes about the images, we can talk about it. Simant 17:36, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * For now ill just modify mobile weapon pages that have no varients. And the vote can come later. Simant 17:52, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

XN Raiser Section
In the XN Raiser section there is some information that I'm curuios about.

''Celestial Being intended to mass-produce the XN Raiser, but it was seen as too costly and only built two prototypes. Also, the stabilizing equipment on board the XN Raiser was unstable, so there would be moments where the Twin Drives' synchronization rate would randomly fluctuate for no reason.''

I think this entry was made by a user named Gaeaman788 on around August 26.I'm not saying that this info is wrong,its just that I have yet to read a translated profile of the XN Raiser with its function descriptions yet [Ive only read the Saji simulation story] and the edit does not mention a source.I've been trying to find a translated profile with the above info but to no success yet.

I'm currently searching for one with this info,to better verify this statement.Considering how much implications this statement does [It states the reason on why XN Raiser will not work with 00 plus some some of CB's initial plans does it],I'd thought if it were for the better that we try to find the source of it.Its also quite specific in its statement.

Of course,if you can personally verify the source for me,as in you;ve seen it yourself somewhere then I'm fine.Its just been bugging me for a bit that's all,this specific section and all and its quite a strong statement as well.

Also...........

The part where the article says XN Raiser cannot do Trans-Am bugs me as well since we've seen 00 do it in S210 in the 0 Raiser test,where 0 raiser's binders were not connected to the Drives.If its stated in the XN Raiser porifle of the Hobby Japan Profile,then I'm fine with it.

But if the sentence is based on observation from the anime,then its wrong,since we've seen 00 use Trans-Am for 3 whole minutes without the binders connected.It may have been just a test but it still counts.

Give me your opinion on this later,thanks. SonicSP 23:56, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Image galleries
Hey I read your message on my talkpage regarding images. The reason why I decided to put pictures into a gallery is due to the fact that they are then put in one place on a page. Otherwise they are spread accross a page, giving it an impression of disorganization. And if you put them into the infobox the box will eventually become too long. Since the pages of the Gundam 00 Mobile Suits (especially the Gundams) often have many pictures it thought it would be better to put them into a single gallery. However if the majority of the writers on this Wikia would suggest otherwise then I will accept the decision. Diabound00 17:28, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Article: Uzumi Nara Athha
Excuse me Taikage, I am asking for help in accessing Article: Uzumi Nara Athha, from Gundam SEED. Every link I click for it, it always divert to the Cosmic Era list of characters. I don't understand what's wrong with it and it is infuriating. So can you help? --Unic of the borg 21:09, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh, Uzumi Nara Athha is a redirect. nothing is wrong with it.Simant 23:58, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Important matters
First of all, this wikia is a without active admin, and I saw that previous admin offered you adminship... I was wondering if you would take that up (or we could have a community vote or something for an admin, if you don't wanna...), so we could get wikia more organized (and since I can't get wikia staff to activate semantics since we have no admin to ask for it... *fumes*). Secondly, I was thinking for the mobile suit equipment pages, that we could only have the item itself in the the info box, without the count, diameter, weapon poweroutput, positioning, etc., that stuff could be inside the page itself. If we do it like that we will be able to have equipment easily searchable as well with semantics. Another thing is that there are some really badly disorganized pages (mainly from the Universal century), that need to be cleaned up. Another thing I want to ask, have you seen any character pages that actually look good? That I can standardize for other character pages with a template. -- Simant 00:12, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, but could you comment here, Yes/No using semantics (Extreme Wikia Organization). Simant 23:14, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * FYI,both Sealedsoul and I are still active. -- - ValiantHeart (talk) 03:52, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Images
Could you take at look at Category:Infobox Image Needed, it should help us find pages that need images, perhaps you could upload some. Also, what do you think about using semantics on this wikia to improve the searching of mobile suits (characters later) Simant 00:30, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * See Forum:Gundam_Semantics for detailed info on it. But just basically i am trying to get the main users here to agree to use it, so we can ask wikia staff to enable it. By the way do you know what is going on with this sites admins? Simant 18:57, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Image Quality
I was wondering if you would please take a look at this page about data loss (second paragraph in that section). Thats the reason why I choose to re-upload some images, that had been cropped. Simant 15:38, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Arios gundam
What don't you like about the way it is currently being done. Is it that it says mobile weapon? or is it that aerial is worded before transformable; I'll be glad to try to fix what you don't like. Simant 16:01, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Transformable Aerial Combat Mobile Suit is the term I felt is best suited for Arios. It has a good fit to it, the "mobile weapon" part makes it somewhat less specific and the order in the classification at times mixes the MS type together, making the type of the MS listed as if it was a jumble of words roughly put together to sum up various mobile suit pages. I don't want to argue over semantics like this, so if the majority of people rather prefer it your way, I won't contest it; I rather keep it the way it was written before. Wasabi 16:35, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Weight
I'm curious to know that on the official info in books and such, are the specs listed as weight or mass; It just seems strange to me that they would use weight when some of the suits are in space... Simant 21:59, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Well obviously the weight thing is measured on Earth and it gives us a sense of scale. I'm more curious how will you deal with the official bandai release data on the Gundams. Will you describe the Gundams based on their abilities or will you conform to whatever the manual or gunpla boxes describes the Gundam type as? Wasabi 22:15, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * What is the official data release, is it just some more stats? I don't have any of official gundam info on paper. so I'm not really good with anything more then coding, and info from the series I watched. I'll try to conform to what the community wants, but it helps when they tell me. Simant 22:55, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also I was wondering what you thought of the character infobox that i put together. here is it in use in the sandbox Gundam Wiki:Sandbox. Simant 23:01, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Variations Vs. Descendants
I wouldn't worry about Template:Anno Domini Mobile Units, when we switch to semantics, classifying will be done automatically. Regarding 5 pages about a single gundam, I'm not sure the formedit can use the template multiple times on the same page without some sort of problem... Simant 16:24, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Regarding Referencing
Hi,thanks alot for the vote of confidence you gave the other day on my talkpage,I'm glad to see some noticed what I was trying to do to make this site better even though my contributions are slim so far.

Anyways,I'm new to wikis in general,so I was wondering how exactly should I refer to my sources?I mean,I'm sure I could figure out how to use the referencing function but that is not what I mean.Now,as you are aware right now,most of the info we get come from fan translations from message board of some profiles,which is the only thing we have to go by to enjoy this series to the max but how exactly do I have to do to refer?

Are you asking me to link to te direct posting of the profile or maybe you would like me to copy paste the transation somewhere and link it?Or do you want me to simply mention the source like I have been doing so far,but in the references section instead?

I mean,if the source is an image that is easy,all you have to do is to link directly to the image,and if the issue is just the romanisation of a weapon,that's always in the manual in plain sight,so its even easier.

But what about the more complex profiles,how eactly do you want me to reference them?I'm hoping you'd follow up on this,since I do want to try my best and refer to things.I've only mentioned the name of the source material up until now in the edit summary box.

So,would you mind giving me some suggestions,or advice on this matter?

SonicSP 17:17, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

SonicSP, Simant would be a better editor to ask about such things. Usually in most referencing, we just state where the info was attained on a section we label "references". Usually a hyperlink in between things stated and the reference is interlinked to legitimize the edition. Wiki usually have coding examples when you read the syntax, but like I said, Simant might be able to provide better assistance in this area. Good luck SonicSP. Wasabi 01:19, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Translator
Do we even have anyone active on this site that is able to translate japanese? Simant 23:26, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure someone throughout the world has some spare time to do some translations, we'll just wait man. Wasabi 23:28, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

black box
Dude, you also blew away all the work on the black box entry that I did this morning. Look at the 14:23 and 14:22 edits for 6, November --Nkuzmik 19:04, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

is there a way we could chat?--Nkuzmik 19:07, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Apologies dude, but I was cleaning up the page. Don't worry, just bring it back up in the history and re-paste it. I'll see if i can bring it back. Wasabi 19:13, November 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for being snippy. Bit of a frustrating day.  my IM is my name on this wiki--Nkuzmik 19:15, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

exia
Can you throw me that link you have about Exia and Dynames being 'twins"? I'm massaging Exia's page and if I'm going to be the citation bastard, I better behave :-) --Nkuzmik 02:16, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Exia and Dynames Twins?I really want to see where that info came from.Maybe the GN-Drive design a bit of other things[brother's perhaps?].I've only heard about Exia and 1 Gundam that are said to be brothers.

I mean the signs are there of course a bit design-wise,but I'm wondering where the actual statement came from.SonicSP 19:40, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

I forgot where I read it, but it was found in a forum that did translations about the Gundams. Basically they said that Exia and Dynames (in terms of their basic physical make up) is the same, but their combat purpose was different. So that implies that Exia and Dynames are twin-like. I have since never re-discovered that page, but at the same time it's not that important. If anything,in the future, when they published the 00 Gundam Files, we'll know for sure. Wasabi 20:22, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Semantic Mediawiki
User:Simant/Sandbox FormVersion Mobile Units is ready to be implemented as soon as we get a consensus on Forum:Gundam Semantics. Simant 20:09, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the links at the bottom of mobile suit pages are getting a bit... insane. Simant 16:58, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

If you're talking about the {Anno Domini} info box, I tend to add that in for the sake of easier navigation. I wanted to make a comprehensive page that's able to provide easy navigation. I personally find it annoying to read about a subject and jumping to various pages just to find a specific link, with that in mind, I always add info boxes I deemed relevant. If you meant the info box on the mobile suits getting bigger and bigger, that's partially due to the editors desiring to split the wiki pages for every variant of the mobile suits. I always wanted them to remain singular, but the consensus suggested otherwise and complied. Besides, we still haven't reached anywhere as crazy as the Universal Century universe, there's nearly 25 years worth of MS info and a difficult task to classify all of them into a singular info box, the best way to manage that is to create split time-line boxes. If you want to somehow clean up the info boxes, we could create a 00F, 00V, etc split info-box. That would effectively minimize the size of the box, limited to strictly the main series, but it wouldn't be as integrated since all of the series and side-stories are con-current to the AD time-line. Tell me what you think.

Wasabi 18:01, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I meant all of infoboxes at the bottom of the pages. I'm aiming for instant categorization, using the standardized mobile suit infobox to classify them. Without a box (that needs to be updated manually) at bottom, using semantic search.Simant 19:35, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

That's your dept then, cause I still don't completely understand how the whole system works. I trust you'll dummies down the process for me in the future. Wasabi 19:40, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Basically it's like a book with tabs in it that stick out and have labels, and instead of a person using the tabs to search, a computer references those tabs to come up with a list of stuff with a combination of such tags. Simant 20:47, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Admin Votes
Since we need an admin, and you are the most active (also non-insane), I'll just nominate you. You wouldn't have to do anything different then you are doing, its just that you can do extra stuff, and you could even delegate lower level positions. I'll just place my vote here, and let others put votes as well.Simant 20:11, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Vote: Yes Simant 20:11, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Banning Users
Yah, I think its time to be more aggressive... hence I nominated you for administrator-ship, and if you get enough votes we can message wikia staff to bump your status up; so you can if you desire deal with said problematic users. Simant 02:23, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

RX-78-Z1 Zeon Gundam
Why is this commented out, and nothing really about it on the wiki anywhere else, should there be an article? I'm guessing all of that page was originally copied from [] since google turns up no other results. Simant 17:21, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

I guess so long as its a true variant, we can make a split page on it, since we're doing that already; I'm more concerned about the sources. There's not a lot of official sites that covers the entirety of the Gundam-verse. Sorry Simant, I don't know too much about the UC Universe, hard for me to make a call until I actually see the pic. All I'm looking at is just data and it's not well sourced either. I don't know that site too well, so I don't even know can we use it as a dependable source, but it seems legit.

Re:Templates
Well, um technically there is no limit. But with the current template in use, without using wikia extensions like for each separate image place holder, it would require me to manually add a parameter. I could add a few more parameters, to allow for that, just a simply copy paste/variable rename, just ask. I was hoping to get a few more code extensions installed on this wikia before that though.

Re: New UC & CE info
I think most of those images are fine for gundam seed astray, however i'm not to sure about how some of the images like, use mm as an abbreviation for metric meters, since people could take that as millimeters... Simant 22:20, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Haro
I don't mind creating seperate ones, if there is that much info about them seperately that they shouldn't be put on the haro page. Simant 03:08, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

00 Qua[T]
Is there any good reason that kokou2 keeps changing this? http://gundam.wikia.com/index.php?title=00_Qan(T)&curid=6256&diff=28819&oldid=28293 ; would love for him to add references... Simant 02:04, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

You should know by now that there's no official release of the info yet, just all speculation. Kokou2 is a completely self involved editor, not once being considerate with the other editor's editions nor citing his or her reasons behind it. I usually just revert his edits, but lately he's been doing multiple mini-edits, making reverts impossible and forcing me to back track all data manually. Eh, we need to ban this dude asap. Wasabi 04:23, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * You can goto the history of a page, and click the "dots" between his revisions, and click compare, then just undo that. I'll ask dantman to take care of the ban. Simant 13:29, November 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * I could be wrong but I think he's back under the name "KuroKirin". Note how the 00 Qua[T] article is edited after the account is created.

Minor Characters: Little Info
What do you think about creating a page that lists names and basic info for minor characters such as Lupe Cineau, Miliera Katan, Duett Langraph. And when someone feels the desire to create a more detailed article they can. I just don't like having the random redirect take me to a one sentence page. It could be either separated by era on the same page or on separate pages. Simant 13:44, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

I only mention characters that bears some relevance to the plot; it's up to you since I trust your editions will be pointful. In the 00 universe, there's a dude named Ikeda, he was a former reporter of JNN news and then ended up in Katharon as one of their agents; he wasn't really mentioned even in the official site of 00 Gundam. Only Klaus and Shirin were mentioned, the overall political body of Katharon composed of several leaders above Klaus, but they had little relevance to the plot/story and their character profiles were largely ignored. I was actually seriously thinking of removing anyone not mentioned in the official site's page; if you think they're worth keeping around on the roster somehow, just tell me what I should do in the future edits. Wasabi 04:23, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Missed this comment, -.-. Yes a roster (character list from era) sounds fine, with minimal stats such as a image of their face, and their basic stats, that aren't apparent from the image. As for the pages with one sentence we will just redirect them to the roster. Simant 17:57, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

HEY IM KUROKIRIN
Hey I'm KuroKirin, yea... Im my own person, not this kooku of kuckoo or w/e person. I'd like to know where you guys are finding your rumors, could you list them under the unused space called "REFERENCE". I've made small changes to the Qan{t] page a few times so sorry if i offended anyone or annoyed anyone with them. It just occured to me that Cherudim's GN Drive was not in the torso area and assumed that they might have placed one of the NEW OO's GN Drive to its right shoulder, with the "FUNNELS" as they are being called.

I'm game, but as you said I do need work on my coding skills or more like lack of, I'm more of a grammar and citation kind of editor/moderator. Thanks for the apology, guess on my side I DID have bad timing, let by-gones be by-gones? *extends paw* xD btw I'm a furry LMAO

Hey I just wanted to say, If the gundam CB 002 Raphael is based on the Ribbonz Almark MS modles like the Gaddessa couldn't it have also taken aspects of the Regnant as well?. its my own speculation.

Also hope you've had a merry little Christmas of your own, have a happy New Years as well.

Feldt Grace
OMG!! It seems you are making some major changes in Feldt's page. I just hope you do not get too carried away. If you need help of any kind feel free to contact me.

Update
I did not make my point clear xD; my bad (I meant not harm). I have absolutely no doubt that you are making a great work; and I also agree that there is a lot of room for improvement. I can definitely help you with the relationships section :) I will just wait till you finish your work on the profile so that I can make my contribution accordingly. Let's keep in contact.

Important
As I am keeping track of your edits through e-mail notifications, I have recently noticed some minor grammar mistakes. I was wondering if it is ok if I correct them. I am letting you know because I do not want to violate your editing tag.

P.S. As it it about grammar, I would not change the content itself.

Go ahead, so long as it's correcting spelling issues, it's fine. I type really fast so at times, I may mis-spell words from time to time. Wasabi 17:29, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too and thanks for your encouraging words! As soon as the Holidays are over, I'll read the manga and I will be more than glad to help you out. As I would say here in my country: ¡Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo! n_n

Main Page
The Main Page was last updated on May last year; and I think you would agree with me that there is room for improvement. I tried to contact admin Sealedsoul, but it appears he last logged in on October. Isn't there anything we can do?

Marcos Taracena 20:27, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ok thanks, I'll contact Simant! By the way, I am almost done reading 00F, I'll support you there :)

Zabanya is not Heavy Arms
I just deleted your edit about Zabanya being a heavy arms type,the reason being is that we don't know whether this is the case.Infact,the SE II booklet which I posted on the Qan-t- discussion page says that its developed as the same type as Cherudim,which is manily a sniper unit still.Of course,it DOES LOOK LIKE heavy arms like because of its Virtuelike look but we still dont know.Remember that previously some of those who watche the early trailer at the event also said that it seemed to be a close comabat type.

Considering the booklet says that its developed as the same type oas Cherudim,I'm going to go with this being sniping or at least something a bit close to Eins which is a lovechild of Dynames/Virtue in terms of ability,even if we havent seen seen its full armaments yet.However,I dont think we should classify this as sniping either since it hasnt convinced us that it is,but the SEII booklet mentioned in my opinion is enough for us to hold our judgement.

Thus I had to remove your line,because the way it was made sounds like we're sure its a heavy combat type,and other than looking Virtue like there is no info that mentions that it is at this point in time.SonicSP 12:20, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

SonincSP, usually we're on the same page, but if you insist, guess we'll have to wait until the movie comes out along with the official stuff to confirm then. Everything i read about it in current data says it's loaded up with a lot of guns and i usually define that as heavy arms, but i'm not going to debate it without definitive evidence. The genealogy tree shows it's make evolved from Cherudim GNHW, don't know about you, but GNHW pretty much turned the unit into a heavily armed unit that can still snipe. We got time, i'm not going to battle over non-definitive data; you soo owe me a bowl of noodles if i'm right though correct? ;) Wasabi 18:28, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Newtype February 00 Movie Update
Source

Movie Discussion Page

New type has a bit of info for the movie.I've posted it on the movie dissucssion page,just notifying you.

If you've noticed,I've become more of an info provider than editor these days.I only do minor editing once inawhile because not only I suck at it,sometimes I just feel lazy if itgets overwirgted later.I guess I'll notify if I feel anything wrong with the article in the discussion pageBeen too busy these days with college I guess.-SonicSP 20:33, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Dude it's fine, i got my own worries at home. I got to study for 4 IT licenses and a bunch of other responsibilities i need to manage, so it's fine. Do it when you're on break. Wasabi 01:22, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Answering An Old Question
A long time ago,you came to Animesuki requesting a site where one can get info for the data on the series.And I stupidly suggested this site,well I didnt knwo you back then.

But now that I remembered it,there are 2 palces where you can read up on data on the series,sort of.:

Mike S_6's blog;her database on the sidestories is pretty good.You can read alot on 00P here and some 00V too,if you need to reclarify something:

Good Haro's blog;her database focuses more on the other external sources like some books and stuff though she updates us alot on new stuff on the movie too,this is the 00 archive page but u can check the main page for some new stuff once in awhile:

The official files and the novels summaries are worth a read

You may have heard of them already but just incase you dont,these will be helpful for learnign about the series.It was to me,though I just hang on the forums and discuss,thats where I got to learn most of the stuff I know about the series.These 2 ladies also help us alot with latest news in terms of translations so I the rest of us mortals should be a bit grateful to them I guess.SonicSP 19:28, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Wha.......Blue System?
Okay,seriosuly.BLUE SYSTEM?Where did you get that infrmation?I'm talking about your edit on the Susanowo page around 10 days ago.I've never even heard of it at all,not once in the last one year,nor one recently.The way the info is presented,you make it sound like youve heard it from the anime or something,due to the text saying it was briefly mentioned by Billy.

Tell me where you got the info from [if its in the anime,tell me which episode and scene as well as if its dub or sub because the former is unreliable unless the japanese version says the same thing],I'll go do some clarification,asking around if etc.I want to see this interesting mention of yours.Otherwise,I'm going to have feel like deleting it but I want to check it for myself too.I've left it there for the moment.

By the way,the recent HG Trans Am susanowo manual just confirmed that Susanowo's 2 Drives are at the binders as well as Susanowo having 2 Drives,I've posted some bits of it in in the discussion page.-SonicSP 19:12, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

I don't have the anime in hand to flip through the series to give you exact info, but there was a scene when Billy commented about the Aoii (Blue in jp) System about the Susanowo. I'm sure you can find it, it was a very brief scene though. Wasabi 22:30, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Dude,I really cant find it.Even if it was mentioned,do you think it actually needs its own title space?If its so insignificance or unspecified,it should be like inside a paragraph of something else,rather than having its own special place.I havent checked the source out yet but considering how.....well obsecure it is it doesnt sound too important even if it exists.

I'll start look for the mention,and get some analysis.-SonicSP 18:43, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Look,I'm not sure whether its the one.But there is one scene in S218 where Billy was talking to Graham witht he Masuruo in front of him,and I think I hear dof a similar word of the one you said.

For the record,he is saying "Ougi" not "Aoi".From my Rurouni Kenshin-watching days,Ougi means secret attack or secret technique in Japanese.He is saying that the "Ougi" have been improved.Billy was referring to Trans-Am in this case.He used the same terminology when he was referring to Trans-Am System in S214 as well.The subs back me up on this as well.

Dude,while I'm a bit familiar with the word because I watched Rurouni Kenshin once,the subtitiles never mentioned any blue system anywhere either.Dude,I dont like to delete other people's entires,you know because sometimes they may know something that you don't,thus why I rarely delete entires,at least I try not to.But I'm CERTAIN it hasnt been mentioned anywhere,the subs would have caught it at least even if it did.I've watched S2 several times and as a Gundam 00 Mechanics nut,such a thing will not escape my attention so easily.If it did,I would have at least HEARD of it before in the 1 1/2 year + ive seen this series,as I hang around several forums alot.I'm going to have to erase your entry I'm afraid,sorry.

Now if your VERY certain that its there,you can try and get several other people to back it up,perhaps they may be able to attest to it,and convince me otherwise.

Hey,if you dont have the anime right now,Why did you put the entry?(confused)-_-,did you do it by memory?-SonicSP 18:54, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry,I just realised you've removed it already.-SonicSP 19:26, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

i got the data from a bad source. The guy quoted billy about the system, but it was actually misheard as you put it. I removed the entry upon closer inspection from the anime. Wasabi 13:26, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

RIbbons Almark - Intervention At Eclipse
I just noticed the edits, and decided to put a discussion here.

About Ribbons sending Mr. Bushido, while not confirmed, was hinted out by Regene. Now, I know it's just a speculation on his part, but the dialogues in 00 seemed to be straightforward when you looked at it. So with Regene hinting about that, then not being confirmed or disconfirmed, lead me to believe that Ribbons actually dispatched Mr. Bushido.

About Nena not being employed, I watched the dubbed and she admitted on screen she worked with Innovators that time. Now those in japanese language might have the other way around, but I'm not sure. Is that the case here? I hope you shed light onto this.

Need to Bring Back Weapons Descriptions
I'm not a fan of multi layered pages of redundant info either,but I think we need to bring the weapons section back.Not all weapons are the same you know,they all have their unique individual characteristics,it doesnt have to be long winded or complex,just enough to describe the weapon in general and special characteristics on it.

I'm not just talking about 00 Raiser,I'm talking about all AD articles that had the weapons section totally removed.

If you want an example,take the GN-X Beam Rifle.Did you know that the Long Barrel adds range to the weapon itself but reduces the rate of fire?[Making a bit of a long range non sniping rifle].I click on the long range rifle section and it just leads me to the GN Rifle section of the series,which tells me little about this uniqe feature that aonly available to the Original GN-X Rifle.

What about the Ahead Rifle extension?It doesnt increase the range,this one actually increases the power and it adds some Condensers on the side as well.Dont forget the GN-Sword II,where is the info on its beam rifle abilities,i>[it has a few different shots availale to it],or its larger than average beam saber size from the weapon.These are just some of the info that I founfd to be well....missing and its sad because some of these features arent just regular features that applies to all,and linkin them to the listed weapons page does not do them justice whatsoever,hell the GN Sword section in the AD weapons section is empty!!!So literally I think the site have 0 to little info on GN Sword series now.

All of these info.......lost and blank,nowhere to be found.I know you're not related to this issue,but I'm simply bringing it up to you,because this trend concerns me.-SonicSP 11:12, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you please review the discussion page for Shared Weapons, I explore the idea of features specific to a particular weapon being incorporated into the Technology and Characteristics segments.
 * Using the example of the GN-X and its beam rifle, I would propose the following solution:
 * Replace the link under Optional Equipment with simple text.
 * Then add a passage to the effect of
 * ...Gundam Throne series; the overall tech was based on reversed engineered CB GN-tech. The GN-X is the first production mobile suit sporting beam weapons a pair of GN Beam Sabers and a GN Beam Machine Gun. The GN Beam Machine Gun sacrifices accuracy at range in favor of rate of fire, however ground crews can attach a longer barrel which reduces the rate of fire but increases accuracy at range.  This upgrade by no means gives a GN-X sniping capabilities but does allow the pilot reach out and touch the enemy.
 * The GN-X series intented mission was that of a highly manuverable, high speed combatant.
 * This was what I was what I always intended. --Nkuzmik 15:16, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's certainly better than nothing.Personally,I do wish the description is a bit more specialised in a section.As in long barrel mention for example under the GN-X rifle section in under the actual "Beam Rifle".


 * But now,that we have indeed gotten a good transcript of alot of the intruction manuals,I guess we can mention more specialised things about them.Of course,in my opinion most of the CB Gundam's weaponry fall under this category,


 * Of course,if something really is just plain,most probably something from the sidestories,we can always just stick with a line like An ordinary beam rifle with a link to the weapons page.


 * Oh and I know the GN-X dont have the sniping ability but I guess I am sort of comparing the upgrade that of a sniper rifle,specifically the sniper rifle II which fires it long range mode with the barrel attached,just a small comparison like thing.They are far different from each other in ability-SonicSP 16:45, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
