Hello back! :)

It's great to see another soul around here! ;)

In any case, welcome to you Conan fan! I really appreciate your comments. And yes, I would also definitely like some help with the wiki. The more, the merrier. :P

My main objective at the moment is to focus on the Characters section. Then, work on the episodes, season by season. I'll eventually come up with a task list of some sort. And don't hesitate to provide ideas and/or feedback. They are most welcome! Anyway, see you around and I hope you have fun here! :) --Maurice 04:46, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, each episode will have its own page. This way we can provide as many details as possible. And details are good! ^^ --Maurice 06:10, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Mm, I was thinking of the Japanese name of the episode as the page name just like it is in Wikipedia for famous series like Lost, House, etc... For example, for the first episode, it would be Roller Coaster Murder Case. How does that sound? --Maurice 06:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good for the English redirects. I'll also try to work on the InfoBox for the character's page whenever I can. --Maurice 17:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Mm, not yet but feel free to go ahead and create the Sandbox page or make one for you: User:CarpetCrawler/Sandbox. ^_^ --Maurice 18:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

That template looks good. As for creating templates here, just create a page that starts with "Template:". In our current case here, it would be something like Template:InfoBox Episode. Check out Category:Templates for some examples of templates we already have here. --Maurice 03:53, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

It's alright. Just get some rest and get better! :) See you around! --Maurice 14:44, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good! Thanks. How are you feeling btw? --Maurice 17:14, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Good to hear about your health. And sure. :) --Maurice 01:20, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey!

I'm doing good! What about you? As for help regarding the wiki, it's pretty tough finding people who know (and are interesting in) DC and are also willing to edit a wiki. I actually even posted some classifieds a while ago but no one replied. I'll try doing it again sometime soon.. Any luck on your side? --Maurice 11:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Help!

It's alright. I'll take a look. ^^ --Maurice 14:53, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good! I was trying to think of the best way to display the list of episodes for a given season. Hopefully, I'll come up with a template soon enough for that one. --Maurice 23:19, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Episodes

Thanks! :)
Regarding the "solved by" thing, what I was thinking of at the time was that we should show both the "proxy" and the actual one who solved the case. Something along the line of "Kogoro Mouri (via Conan)". Because in some of the episodes, the case gets solved by both Heiji and Conan. In some others, by Shinichi and in one episode (I read about), Kogoro actually solved one! :o
So, showing both would be a great way to help the reader instantly understand the role the protagonists had in that one episode.

Movie infobox

Hey! Yeah, sorry for the delay. I'm usually too tired during the week, when I come back home, to do anything much.. :/
But, yeah, I've seen your changes. Good work! :)
Just one little note: Since we already have InfoBox_Char and InfoBox_TV, it would be good to keep it standard and call the movie one InfoBox_Movie (instead of Infobox_Movie). Also, wherever there's the "Case solved by" field, we could make a link to the one(s) who solved the case. Example: Kogoro Mouri (via Conan). Also notice that "via" should start with a small "v". I know, lots of small details lol. It's just that I like to follow standards, which is also part of my job as a web developer. :D
In any case, keep up the great work! I really appreciate it. I'll try to help out whenever I get some time. ^^ --Maurice 14:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Logo

Ooh, that's a good find regarding the logo. It looks like it happens whenever there's another "/" after "wiki/". The logo is most likely being pointed to from a relative path and the slash makes it look like there's a sub-folder. Which means the logo cannot be found. I'll definitely fix it during my next batch of updates/fixes. And great work with the episodes! As for Sango Yokomizo, it's really awesome! I'm quite impressed actually. I love how we've been pouring in our own content instead of just copy/pasting text from other sources like Wikipedia (we still do but we don't just do that). That's definitely good! :)
In any case, keep it up! ^^ --Maurice 01:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Images

Sure, sounds great! As for the 60px and 100px, they're all pretty much ok anyway. The only ones that kind of concern me are the real cheesy ones, like the ones for Mitsuhiko, Genta, Inspector Megure and Shiratori in Characters. They look, mm, what's the word, too simplistic? But I guess we'll eventually change those at some point in any case.

And that would really be awesome if you're able to get in touch with those people that work on the english Wiki! Good luck! :P

P.S: I also added a note to the characters page's talk page regarding the Law Enforcement being broken down into parts.

Voices

No prob. Soon I'll probly do pages for the actors themselves (though just the Japanese) and I'll be sure to include a lot of interesting trivia about them (like connections to othe Conan voice actors and whatnot). NakagawaRyou 04:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Apart from a few early episodes and all the movies and OVAS I have only read the manga, and Tome-san only appears in the anime (possibly the only recurring character like that, as most other anime original characters ended up in the manga, like Takagi and Shiratori). NakagawaRyou 01:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

A month or so ago I was trying to find out which episode Yamamura first appeared in because I wanted to here how his voice actor portrayed him... yeah, I reeeeally like voice acting... and I came across this site. NakagawaRyou 02:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but I might contribute other stuff too, especially since this wiki is still trying to get off the ground it seems. Sorry, I wasn't fond at all of the English dub. Mainly because of the name changes (I'm one of those fans, although I'm usually reasonable about it), but also I couldn't stand Kogoro's english voice... like, at all. As a guy I don't want to say this but it's the only word I can think of that describes it best: I think Yokomizo is... cute. He seems so intimidating but he backs down as soon as he upsets someone. I thought it was hilarious when Sonoko's grandpa was trying to catch Kaitou Kid and she wanted to be the bate so Kid and Makoto could fight over her. I haven't finished the manga yet (at chapter 518 or so) so I've only seen Eisuke once, but I loved what I saw. NakagawaRyou 04:41, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Characters

That works too, I was just on a role last night (or this morning rather), so I ended up doing that. I added everyone's first appearance by the way (even Tome-san's). Doing ages and other infobox stuff now. NakagawaRyou 18:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

It's a special feature in the manga volumes, containing a little bit of info on a fictional detective. The latest volume apparently featured Zenigata from Lupin III. NakagawaRyou 18:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Might start adding voice cast info for all the episodes (found a great, but Japanese, site with all this stuff here. NakagawaRyou 18:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Next Conan's Hint/Infobox

What do you want to do about it? Should it be included in the episode infobox or should it have it's own little box with a screencap? NakagawaRyou 18:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Or "Filler" or "Anime Original" (as they say in Japan), but you should also maybe get a filler icon for the plot legend. NakagawaRyou 16:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Cool, and I'll probly be doing more voice actor articles soon, as well. NakagawaRyou 16:17, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, no. NakagawaRyou 16:21, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Conan

Great job on Eri's page! :) It's looking pretty good! As for Conan, sure go ahead. Thanks! --Maurice 00:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Azusa

According to the site I've been referencing [1], she appears in eps. 207, 220, 350, 351, 425, 438, 464, 477, and also 152 as a nameless but similar character. NakagawaRyou 04:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Check out my Yaiba stuff... also, I made more character categories. NakagawaRyou 05:04, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

OVA 9

Just checked out the ending credits on youtube to doublecheck, he's not. Heiji and Kazuha are, and I forgot about them. NakagawaRyou 05:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Yay, Eisuke!

Cool, I started adding the kanjis too. NakagawaRyou 06:11, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

We'll see, I'm more interested in doing Takagi's article for now, really, since it's mostly blank and he's one of my favorite characters. I'm also still trying to do the Yaiba character pages. If I had pics, I'd start doing pages for Okiya and Matsuda. NakagawaRyou 06:30, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Music

Yes, this indeed needs to be done. I've also had the same thought a while ago. Just never had a chance to get to it. I guess I could add it to the sidebar for now. And feel free to start adding to it. ^^ --Maurice 20:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Shiratori

It's no problem, I had literally just gotten to that point in the manga and was adding as I was reading. NakagawaRyou 19:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Uehara

I say Uehara, because A.) she only married him to discover the truth behind the town hero's (can't remember his name) death, and B.) since she has returned to the force, Yamato still refers to her as Uehara. NakagawaRyou 16:15, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I just finished the manga, too, that was only a couple of months ago that they returned. By the way, we should prob'ly make pages for Kamen Yaiba and Gomera (not necessarily now, but eventually) since their shows and movies appear so frequently in the plot. NakagawaRyou 16:21, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Conan page and Shiho page

Remember when we were talking about making a seperate page for Conan? Well,when we were discussing it, you suggested doing a seperate page for Shiho Miyano as well. I forgot to say I don't think that's necessary. While Conan and Shinichi can be considered 2 seperate characters because of the flashbacks to Shinichi's past and the fact that Conan uses a different personality and what not, There's really no difference in personality with Ai and Shiho, not to mention the fact that we only ever really see her as Ai. Just my 2 cents on the matter that I forgot to add.

Also, when did Conan use Eri to solve a case? Was it in the anime, cuz i don't remember that happening in the manga? NakagawaRyou 03:10, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, yer right, it might've been Maurice, my bad. Did you see tha page I made for Anokata? NakagawaRyou 14:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Plans? Right now there's mainly voice actor and Yaiba stuff. Since you seem more familiar with the anime, I'll prob'ly keep adding manga related info to it as well (such as I just did with Gin). I do, however, have a prior engagement with an online friend to help translate Sakigake!! Otokojuku, which I'll prob'ly get preoccupied with frequently. NakagawaRyou 06:00, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Manga appearances

It's no biggie. Btw, with manga appearances are we going by chapters or just cases? NakagawaRyou 22:41, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Either way is fine with me, I just want to know so I can add Yamato's. NakagawaRyou 22:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't, sorry. Oh! I got an Edogawa Rampo book, a Kogoro Akechi story even, called Black Lizard. Been wanting to read something by him for awhile now. Hey, since we go by the western naming order (Shinichi Kudo rather than Kudo Shinichi), why didn't we do that with the Rampo Edogawa article? Me, I personally prefer the Japanese order, but since we're using the western order, shouldn't we do so with all articles? NakagawaRyou 23:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Genta's Dad

He's only appeared once so far in the manga, but he was part of the plot, a case where three men named Kojima might be the culprit in a murder. Like I say, he's an "Edokko", a Child of Tokyo, and like an Edokko he has a high sense of honor and a short temper, I took an instant liking to him (after his identity was revealed). Here's his introductory story if you want to read it (Kojima Contest Murder Case). NakagawaRyou 04:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
