Picture uploads
The user, BolsterGay, you asked to upload pictures hasn't been active in over a year. I can't exactly see what you want uploaded so I don't know if your pictures are proper (Please see the manual of style), but you can upload pictures yourself with the upload page since you have an account. The upload page is listed on the sidebar near the bottom and also appears when you click a picture redlink, or at the top of a page (drop files here) when you try to edit.

Re: Special Volume Request
When I have time I'll try to scan my manga volumes for pictures of characters. All previous special volume pictures were uploaded by somebody else and are not from my personal collection of scanned images. I do not share my e-mail address. --Skyechan (talk) 00:04, 11 August 2015 (CEST)
What is your email address?
My new email address is [redacted by Chek to prevent screen-scraper-spam] --Arrimas Arrington (talk) 03:12, 11 August 2015 (CEST)
- I'm sorry but I am more comfortable communicating with you using the talk page here. You can also use the forum PM system or even the DCTP PM system if you like. I am guessing you are contacting me because you would like me to upload pictures for you. I strongly encourage you have a look at the guidelines on picture uploads and try uploading a few yourself for starters.
- You should also stop asking other users to upload pictures for you. Scanning, cleaning, cropping, and formatting pictures from manga volumes is fairly time intensive. Asking someone to upload several cases worth of suspects, side characters, and crime scenes is not a trivial request. Detective Conan Special is even more bothersome than usual because they are rarer, there are almost no good quality scans online to use as a shortcut image source, and they are low priority because not many people care about Conan Special compared to the regular Detective Conan manga and anime episodes.
- Just so it is clear, I think it is fine to ask others to do something for you when the task is a manageable size or you aren't sure how to do it yourself. It is also okay to make a general post requesting attention for a particular topic in case there are editors looking for a new project. It seems too forceful when someone who hasn't tried doing it themselves starts to individually recruit editors for their big project. Wiki editing is a hobby which is purely volunteer and often thankless, so it is important that editors be able to choose their own interests and pace. When people beg, it makes editing more like being managed at work than a hobby. I hope you understand my reluctance to help you on your project when I have my own backlog of incomplete pages I need to cover. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 05:14, 11 August 2015 (CEST)
I'm very sorry
I'm sorry. Don't be mad. --Arrimas Arrington (talk) 06:59, 11 August 2015 (CEST)
Re: Did the victims would bring back from dead?
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. --Skyechan (talk) 18:51, 16 August 2015 (CEST)
I said did the victims would bring back from dead in these episodes? Skyechan, you talked about Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23. --Arringtastic1992 20:29, 16 August 2015 (CEST)
Please be careful not to add spoilers
In The Fourteenth Target, it is not revealed that Jo Murakami is dead until the solution where the true culprit confesses he murdered Murakami. Up until that point Murakami was thought to be alive and committing murders. Please be careful not to add spoilers to the pages about cases because that is against wiki policy. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 03:38, 5 October 2015 (CEST)
I know. Jo Murakami is a victim. --Arringtastic1992 02:49, 25 May 2016 (CEST)
Your requests for uploads
While the requests you made pointing out factual errors are helpful, pretty much everyone is going to ignore your requests for picture uploads. The edits in particular where you point out there are missing pictures are not helpful. It's obvious when a picture is missing and there is a redlink instead. Please remember that people who edit the wiki are volunteers and do this for free. It takes a lot to time to prepare pictures for uploads. You should try it yourself once to see the work involved. If you have edit requests, they should be made on the Contributing requests page, not in individual talk pages where no one reads most of the time. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 20:35, 15 May 2016 (CEST)
ConanLoverA's family page
I undid your edits to User:ConanLoverA's families page. The reason why is because those pages are User:ConanLoverA's personal pages which are in his subspace. They are not general wiki pages. If you look at the url for those two pages, you can see they subdirectories of his username page. Personal space pages are not free for anyone to edit unless the owner gives permission. This is to let people keep personal projects, theories, and references as they want without interference from others. If you want to edit ConanLoverA's project, please go to the history tab, select the last revision made by you, copy the page source, and paste a copy in your own subspace. That new copy then becomes all yours to edit. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 01:32, 25 May 2016 (CEST)
Where? --Arringtastic1992 01:35, 25 May 2016 (CEST)
- To make a subpage, select your username. Then go to the url bar, add a slash /, and then the name of the subpage you want to create. Go to that blank page and edit it. For instance, User:Arringtastic1992/Example makes a page in your subspace called "Example". Chekhov MacGuffin talk 01:54, 25 May 2016 (CEST)
My subspace? I can't make a subpage. --Arringtastic1992 02:22, 25 May 2016 (CEST)
- You can make a subpage. You already made the talk page for it. all you had to do was create the main page as well by adding text. I clicked the link I made above and added some text for you. Example is a pretty bad name for a page, so why not make a new page with a better name or move it to a better name? Chekhov MacGuffin talk 03:33, 25 May 2016 (CEST)
Hello. You were supposed to put families in Detective Conan, Chekhov MacGuffin.--Arringtastic1992 23:21, 25 May 2016 (CEST)
