Will the name spelling debates ever end?!?!

Answer: No.

I signed up for the Wikipedia project, but I probably won't be doing too terribly much compared to the big'uns. I've only edited minor details in various articles, like ones that makes claims on power with no foundation in fact or logical evidence.

Yay, Duo! I finally established a talk page as well. I'm updating that post I had before.

Those first two words made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Be careful.

Now if someone posted telling you the answer everyone would know, wouldn't they. Therefore the word filter would be pointless

I don't know why there isn't one for Kurrin though.

The thread's gone a bit stale, but it's not 'dead' yet.

So, I'm sure everyone is well aware that there are images used frequently on Wikipedia that are, quite obviously, taken directly from DaizEX. I was wondering what Mike's preferred reaction to this would be? I've added notes that the image was taken from Daizex.com, provided a link to the original page, and (in this last case) added Mike's wiki-user page link.

So, is there something else that should be done when one comes across such an image?

I don't really care, one way or the other. If you're crediting the image, that's cool.

Except there's no space in "VegettoEX"

It's volume 10 that the scan is from.

Yup.. volume nine ends with Piccolo's arrival. Volume ten ends with Goku's massive kamehameha on Freeza, which would include the scene with Bardock...Barduck.. ah crap..

Ah, thanks. I'll change that now.

Aw hell...I just realized, after reading the WikiProject Proposal, that it's just that. A proposal. If we get enough members (We definitely have enough by now), we can create our page. However, like one of the Wikipedians noted, someone has already made a WikiProject Dragon Ball page. But it's inactive. Quite different too, considering their page had a lot of empty stuff.

Anyways, I've had the liberty of editing quite a lot of it, revamping it. The majority of the information is from DesireCampbell's temp page.

But yeah. Here is Our Project Page!!!!. Desire, I was wondering, can you create another page out of that (Like you did with the temp page) so we can use it for a members list?

Huh? Another sub page for my User space? Or, what? Can't they just edit the page and add their names themselves? I'm confuzzelled

Nah, you know how you created a subpage? I was hoping we could do that for the Members section, in case it gets too cluttered. But now we see that we don't need to do that. Anyways, come here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... ll#Members
and sign your name below. I could copy down those who were interested from the Proposal page (which should be deleted in a few days), but if you really want in on this, you should join =)

Ah, good. Yes, everyone who has an interest in seeing Wikipedia improve, and show the world that Dragon Ball fans aren't all 9-year-olds - please sign up.

I just did.

Is the plan to start from Dragonball or is it going to be like a character profile approach at first?

I think the best idea is to get a good handle on what the pages should look like - make an example article for each conceivible type of page. The systematically retake the articles on-by-one.

If that's so, I think we should for the characters, at least, make a very good one out of one of them, then like you said, do it for every single one. I think we should start by starting on the lesser-known character articles, the ones that are accepted by the general Wiki community, but aren't worked on well enough. You know, start small and work our way up =)

Anyways, I'm going to start working on the pages on Son Goku and Majin Buu. Both need to be shortened immensely. I've already started on Majin Buu, and thankfully no one has bothered to switch it back.

My main problem with the character pages is that they just retell the plot in such detail. Give a couple of sentences about each arc the character's in, and link to the saga summaries.

Actually, that's the problem too. The Saga summaries are just as bad, and they're poorly written =P
How about 1-2 paragraphs? It'd still be nicely detailed, but it'd be short too.

Yeah, the saga summaries should be re written a well. And where did all these different 'sagas' come from? the Tenshinhan saga, the Baba saga, the Trunks saga. Some of them are like 5 episodes long.

So much work.

I think the character pages' plot summaries should be as short as humanly possible. Link to the saga pages and keep the character pages uncluttered.
