DBZ wiki article destroyed again

My opinion is that anyone who willingly goes to the DB Wikia page already knows the information that's in it.

Something that only those here can actually edit so as to prevent the Lord Sesshomaru's and DBZROCKS' and Collectonian's from hacking apart everything and chopping it down to uselessness.

The other DB Wiki was in pretty sad shape last I saw of it.

I agree, a Daizex run Dragon Ball Wiki would be totally

.

Me too, Janime made their own Yugioh Wiki because of the uselessness of the other Yugioh wikia.

It can just work the same for Daizex, making their own Wiki about Dragonball.

That's basically what Bulbapedia, which was brought up as an example of a good wiki, is. A wiki that's essentially part of a respected fansite with knowledgable members, administered by people who actually know and care deeply about the franchise.

Like Mike and Julian aren't busy enough?

Although, Tanooki may as well be given a staff position...

EDIT: Toon Zone has a Dragonball article on our Wikia. I'm sure you guys who are willing could do a lot of good.

You mean there's some sort of in-universe explanation for the hunger?

They're hungry.

I suppose it's like the The Flash, they use up a lot of energy and thus need to eat a lot...

...Possibly...

Exactly. Just for the hell of it, I checked the entry for the new animation "Yo! Son Goku and Friends are back (or something like that)." Some person had 2 English roles filled in, Goku and Vegeta, but it said "Kirby Morrow and Brian Drummond." Which is completely incorrect because Ocean won't dub that. We're not even sure if FUNimation's gonna be allowed to dub it.

Considering Kendamu said "Why Goku's hungry" I'd assume that it simply mentioned his being Saiya-jin. It's a known fact that Saiya-jins eat... a lot... consantly.

Yup.

Yeah, stuff like that is rather common. I'm actually surprised they've not added stupid stuff to the article yet. Like having Elvis as one of the characters. (I've seen that before.)

What's really sad about this is that it's only the English wiki that's doing this. The Japanese wiki has the same bazillion page format that we used to have. Only more pages and in better condition.

Well, I understand that much, but I was thinking there was something deeper than that which I had failed to discover on my own.

I'm still customizing it/configuring it, but I've started a wiki since I happen to have a pretty good hosting plan on Godaddy.

http://www.ultrapublications.com/dbzwiki/

I will, eventually, impliment a user system (Right now its open to any edits, but I will be changing that when I get home from work).

Will you eventually be looking for help from solely Daizenshuu EX members? Because that would be pretty cool if we had our own Dragonball Wiki Encyclopedia. If it will be open to other fans too that will also be great, since it will probably get done a lot faster that way.

Awesome, I can be one of the users to help you

Because I really think you did the right thing starting up a new better Dragonball wiki.

As long as the Dragonball music pages are left untouched, I'll be happy.

laserkid · Post by **laserkid** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:39 pm

Yes, the general idea is Daizenshuu EX members. That and possibly a coworker of mine who I recently found out loves DBZ, but it will definitely be focused around the people here since you guys are really all I know to recruit from anyway.

C'mon people, don't make us look retarded! At least once the member systems gets up things will be a little more controlled. This is an opportunity to make a truly good DBZ Web encyclopedia, hopefully people will be mature enough to handle it.

Wheres that old Piccolo "Ugh" image when I need it?

Anyways I've got it set up for a password system, only problem is it does not seem to want to grant me any acess with the user I made for myself >.>

EDIT: I've put a generic DBZ description in place of "ZOMG YOYOYO DAIZENSHUU EX" that someone very silly put there.

EDIT #2: Okay, the user registration system has been created, but it all must be manually entered by me. If you want in The Dragon Ball wiki, please private message, email or I'm me a username and password scheme for yourself.
