Re: Daizenshuu EX DB wiki...again

Of course, my worry is that people will think Kanzenshuu is (just) a wiki, just like people currently think Kanzenshuu is a forum, just like people currently think Kanzenshuu is a podcast. I figure the more we add as extensions of the site, the less that will be a problem...? ^^;;

We could just do what Naruto wiki does. A manga and anime pic. Like this: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ao
Heh, I vaguely remember that discussion. Wasn't quite happy with the implementation using Wikia's crap tab system. But yes, generally the best policy is to include all the information, include ...

Re: Daizenshuu EX DB wiki...again

Unless it's actually a video quality comparison, I don't think really high-quality images are needed. Not to say it doesn't matter what they look like, but maybe something a 320x240 level 100 JPEG would be fine? (All taken from the Dragon Boxes, of course.) Something like this:

Re: Dragon balls only having power of creator?

I want to know why nobody ever thought "hmmmm can't kill them because they are stronger... ok then, teleport them into a star, or blow up their spaceship, etc, etc"

Maybe theres all kinds of crazy rules that stop the dragon from even indirectly killing people but afaik they don't even try any ...

Re: Namekian time?

Namek orbits closely to what may be a yellow star much like our own while two stars orbit around the outside at opposite points. As Namek starts to leave the light of one outer star it already begins to get light from the star on the other side of the primary sun it orbits. The gravitational force ...

Re: Namekian time?

dantman,

There are many different types of stars even though you perceive ours as white it actually isn't. It's a yellow star! :roll:
Did you even read what I said? I know very well our Sun is a "yellow dwarf" star, I've been talking about the perceived color of a sun. In fact, the color of the ...

Re: Namekian time?


Sorry, I mean sun. As in if you look directly at a sun you'll generally see enough light that it looks to be white. Though actually given how known triple-star systems work that's actually probably not necessary.

That's because the sheer amount of light overloads the receptors in our eyes ...

Light is generally white. Any star will generally look white if you look right at it.

No they don't. You can look up at the stars at night and see they have different colors.

Re: Namekian time?

This is true! But not all big/small stars correspond to heat. It is usually the type of star like if it is a white or blue star it is VERY hot! If it is a red star type, especially if it is a dwarf, it is cooler than the Yellow type stars. The coldest star types are brown ones.

Re: Namekian time?

Both of you have great points, but that just brings up a somewhat related question: One year on Venus is 225 days, and it's considered the hottest planet in our solar system. Since Namek has a shorter year, that means it's closer to its sun than Venus. So, with that, plus two more suns, shouldn't ...

Re: Never revived?

I forget. Did the wish to revive all those killed by Freeza's men specify "on Namek"? If not, it's very possible the city Nappa destroyed could have been restored, along with lots of off-screen aliens on other planets.

But the people killed by Androids 19 and 20 on Amembo Island are unequivocally ...

Re: Another Dragon Ball Blue Brick Sale

Wow, $75. I've been wanting to collect Dragon Ball. Though like the many other large series, there's always that large price and other things to get.
Ahh... guess this deal's not for me though, doesn't ship to Canada.

Re: Did Funimation put just as much effort in? (Not Sub vs

I won't debate what effort went into Americanizing and tweaking the series, but I do have something to note.

Btw, if you notice that on the Encyclopedia you're free to throw a <ref> tag into the page near the facts pointing to Daizex.

I thought changes made to the Wikia affected the Encyclopedia?
The data from Wikia was imported back in November, any change made after that to the Wikia wiki doesn't apply to the Encyclopedia.

Image wise, title cards do make sense inside of an episode article, so purpose wise they'll probably stay.

Quality wise, most of them are bad. But there's also a good portion of bad images through the wiki besides those. So bad quality title card ...
