Ok, now I get it, it's only because I've never seen "ou" written like that, even for japanese characters, so let's leave it this way... I misunderstood what you said about creating new articles, but I already know how to do them, I did the Goryoumaru, Moryomaru and Tatarimokke ones. I'll leave the youkai list on the main page but will create a new article next time. Thanks for all the help! Edit: I changed my mind, I'm doing the list here Youkai list

I'm not sure if I know hou to divide an arcticle in sections. could you do this for me :P And I don't know if it's you who is changing it back, but I think the character names should be Shippou, Kikyou, and Toutoussai, instead of Shippo, Kikyo and Totosai. Most IY fans know the names this way. Anyway, thanks for the help! I'll try to add descriptions to the youkai when I have time, fell free to do it too if you want :) ~Raquel Sama

Thanks for the welcome message :) Yeah, I'm new here but I've already read most of the help section, I just can't find out how to write what I updated on the arcticle to appear on that page history. I gess I'll find it out sooner or latter. Now I want to make the Inuyasa arcticle bigger. Did you do what's already done there? ~ Raquel Sama

Emperorbma, any particular reason you changed the link for .hack//SIGN from the aforementioned link to dot hack sign?

Yeah, I didn't know whether '/' and '.' characters would work properly for links... I stand corrected, they obviously do!

Please clarify Talk:Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Thx. --Menchi 22:56 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Fixed. Emperorbma

Hm. Nice idea over at Holocene - I feel another WikiProject is about to be born. Take a look at WikiProject Tree of Life to get a sense of how your idea may be expanded (thinking about having all periods in one table withe the current period (in ref to the article) having epochs and the current epoch not being a link (just bolded). Very interesting! --mav 07:03 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I've got most of the eras with the side bar by now. Thanks, I thought it would be useful. Emperorbma 07:10 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
P.S. I borrowed that style from the History of Germany series. Emperorbma

On the WikiProject... I think there is a lot that can be done still with the Navbar, so I will found the Geologic Timescale WikiProject.

Image:Simu title.png turned out pretty huge; might it work better as a jpeg? - Hephaestos 09:27, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Yeah, I think I might see about shrinking that a bit. :P -- Emperorbma 09:33, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Done. I usually just leave 'em though, as long as they're not on a page affecting load time (I think they've got plenty of disk space <g>). - Hephaestos 09:41, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Thanks. :) -- Emperorbma 09:45, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Um, can we get a small and a large version? The current one is tiny :-(. For comparison, see the screenshot I added to Cuyo. It would be a shame if we didn't use our freshly granted permission for lavish illustration..—Eloquence 09:57, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)
Thing is the large one will be much bigger (size wise, 200 KB) than the original one I uploaded. Sigh... d@#% Windows's lack of graphics editors... -- Emperorbma 10:01, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Gah, and I had already uploaded that honking 200KB image... Image:Simuscreen big.jpg can be nuked, too. --- Emperorbma 10:15, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Sorry about that. Deleted. Anyway, it looks nice now. There's plenty of free image conversion and retouching programs for Linux, BTW, including the fantastic GIMP.—Eloquence
Yeah, sorry 'bout the mess. I know, that is why I want to throw BORG away asap, but I can't get the sound to work after that last kernel upgrade.... Thus I am initiated into the modern world of stress and worry ^_^;; -- Emperorbma 10:19, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Manual kernel upgrades are one of the woes of the Linux world, and there hasn't really been a good solution yet. You can use ready made monolithic kernels, but those might miss an option you need. The new 2.6 kernel at least includes ALSA by default, which should make sound configuration easier and more powerful, as it moves much of it into userland.—Eloquence 10:24, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I think these turned out great. Guess the angsting paid off.  :) - Hephaestos 16:50, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Are these stub edits going on much longer? I can register you as a bot if you want (hides edits from RC), but I would prefer to do that with a separate account.—Eloquence

I recommend merging man-eating lions into lion and leaving a redirect in place. I can do it, but then it will look in the page history as if I added the information to lion, so you probably should do it yourself.—Eloquence

Hi, I fixed Post-Occupation Japan by letting decades be the marker to separate events. While this is not the perfect solution as it is at odd with 'Nengou', I think it let people find a specific event more easily. Do check it out. Thanks.

No problem. It happens :) Dysprosia 11:01, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Check this out and see if it doesn't give you inner peace. -- Nunh-huh 05:12, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • Looks fine, I added one word which might save a whole lot of discussion... but if you think it's overboard, I wouldn't cry if you got rid of it. - Nunh-huh 05:44, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • It'll be back, but next time you'll be fighting for Truth, Justice and the Articles of Confederation Way! <g> -- Nunh-huh 05:50, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
