Daizenshuu EX DB wiki...again

[SHINOBI-03]

I only remember him having nunchaku in the Piccolo Daimaoh arc. (Chapter 161).

I only remember him having nunchaku in the Piccolo Daimaoh arc. (Chapter 161).

I can check the manga this evening when I get home, but it may have been there, too/instead.

[caejones]

I think we've cited enough instances that Yamcha's Nunchaku deserve something. XD
Yamcha uses the most weapons of any of the main cast, doesn't he? Gun / Sword / Nunchaku / anything I missed?
Give him Sais and a staff and I'd make a TMNT joke of some kind.

I'd not mind articals for minor items / people / places, so long as they have a good amount of substance. Something I could see helping to flesh out minor things is to actually give some of them their own articals, get them as developed as possible, and if they hit their limit without being anything that couldn't fit as a paragraph, section or table/list-entry in another artical, just merge and maybe include a redirect.

Though now I'm wondering about articals that would probably function primary as lists... like a list of Capsule items (Isn't there one of those in a Daizenshuu?), recurring character / item / scenery / etc designs, stuff like that.
(And yeah, I bring it up just because I'm interested in the last one. ^_^ ).

[Kendamu]

Derp. He has his sword during the Red Ribbon arc. The nunchaku was a Daimao arc thing.

[Piccolo Daimao]

Is there any progress on the site, then?

[Sprite Satan]

Well, if any posters here want to either help on or use the Dragonjiten as a sandbox, let me know. I've closed registration to stop spambots and the like, but I can make accounts.

There are also articles there, but they're mainly from movies and specials, still I think I do a decent job.

[JulieYBM]

And so, with the new server mostly all up to speed, now would be a great time to remind our overlord VegettoEX that there is still quite a strong anticipation for this.

[VegettoEX]

There's absolutely no need to remind me.

One thing at a time, folks...

Forgive me, I hadn't anticipated you might find the 'bump' a bother. It wasn't my intention in the least.

Could you make an account for me?

[Godo]

I think that a good idea would be to keep the pages clean too, and refraining from cluttering them up with pictures.
An example of cluttering is Kuririn's Bio page on Dragonball Wikia:



Is it really necessary to use a picture for everything that happens?

[JulieYBM]

I don't think there needs to be that many pictures, but certainly for the more important stuff.

[VegettoEX]

Oh, and we'll have such lovely standards, too! Things like:

- Screen caps will exclusively come from Dragon Box discs
- Screen caps will all be the same size and properly formatted and wrapped around their text with appropriate line/paragraph spacing

[The Time Traveller]

Glad to hear this, but obviously there'd be exceptions like if there was a page for past Funi releases, or the Kai page...

[JulieYBM]

Which Dragon Box? The American or Japanese?? :p

Obviously I kid.

On a serious note, what about non-inseries pictures? Whether they be from the comic or other stuffage?

[SHINOBI-03]

That's great. Because I'm sick of having small-sized screen caps from VHS recordings from Cartoon Network in the "main" Wikia.

But, How about using screen caps from FUNimation's Remastered sets to "fill in the gaps" or so to speak and then replace them with the Dragon Box footage when they get released? ((Or you can use the Japanese Dragon Box footage to save the effort))

There are enough members here with the R2 Dragon Box sets and singles that this will hardly be an issue . Remember where you're talking, folks! You ain't in Kansas, anymore! (Unless you're from Kansas.)

Of course, when we need to discuss certain aspects of foreign releases, appropriate screen caps and photos are... well... appropriate.

I noticed that the dragonball.wikia.com uses cels as some of their images. Why would they do that? Wouldn't that be a bit inconvenient to find?

Why even bother with an interest in that site and the logic behind any decisions there?

We will not be like that site, and have a pretty set purpose and goal of not being like that site. They can do whatever they want as a loose association of fans with no central community hub and genuine administration to dictate a mission, and looking for logic and reason within a series of those decisions is pretty pointless.

[Khalid Shahin]

The thing I hate the most about dragonball.wikia.com is that they would quote a character but you don't know whether it is from the manga or the anime, or the dub or sub, which leaves a bunch of inconsistencies. They seem to be leaning toward the English dub of the anime for accuracy, but at the same time they would use the movies as well. I didn't read through all 18 pages of this topic, but I was wondering what media is the focus for this wiki? Is it the manga, but any information from the anime or dub will be specified as such?
