Collectibles Table Template

Hey Maurice! Thank you for making a template for the collectibles. There seems to be a minor problem though. Looking at the Collectibles page it seems that there's an error somewhere in the coding for the template; information entered in doesn't seem to appearing correctly. Thanks in advance! :) --Skyechan 02:25, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Something's wrong

Maurice-sama, something's wrong that we can't upload images. Can you fix the problem? --S261157 20:30, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello!

Hey Maurice, kinda new here. Hope that you will be able to teach me new things here =D -- Yoyoboiboy 7:55, 6 May 2011 (GMT+8)

Advice

Maurice-sama, can you try to contact Shogakukan at info@shogakukan.co.jp? I try to ask them a question of that they can contact the authors like Gosho Aoyama. But they won't respond to me. I was thinking maybe it was the tsunami problem. There's also another thing that I just don't get it. If the Detective Conan manga always get published at Shogakukan. Why don't they ever respond to my question? Of course I send them a message by using Japanese language and English message (just in case) but why won't they ever respond to me? So you know I was kind of asking you a favor. Can you try to contact Shogakukan at info@shogakukan.co.jp? --S261157 04:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Uhm....hello? Aren't you going to answer me? I just want to talk to you. Can you talk to me about it? The Shogakukan? --S261157 20:20, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

One page or multipage case?

What do you do for pages when you have a single case that takes up multiple episodes, but doesn't follow the 'Episode name part 1/2" naming format? Specifically I am referring to The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen. It started as multiple pages, one for each episode, was collapsed into one page for all the episodes like the usual 'Episode name part 1/2" cases are, then it has since been expanded back into one page per episode. What is proper here? Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 02:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to get into a revert war with S261157 without being sure I was doing the right thing. "Tomorrow is there" is the manga chapter name for the entire suicidal guy case which became 2/3rds of the first episode of that series. "Thirteen red shirts" I made up; not the best idea, but I figured it was descriptive. I could go with "Hint of Red and Thirteen" which was a manga chapter name for the thirteen red shirts case. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 03:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Please

Maurice-sama please I beg you!! Please chage the way it was before. I so do not like this. On The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen. Thats's not how it supposed to be!!! One episode has to be one episode! Yeah of course it's like 1/2 cases but still, please chage it back please I beg you! It's my turn to ask you and please can you do it? --S261157 21:22, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Need third opinion

There is a minor edit war going on Vermouth in the non-aging section. You can follow my series of responses on the Vermouth article talk page, since the user replaced their talk page with "If you're not going to read my posts and ignore details, like the fact that an additional adjective is necessary, completely ignore the presented reasoning, and cast your unsubstantiated reasoning as a fact, then I'm just going to allow the talk page to stand like this and eradicate all speculations from the site. If you undo that, then congratulations, you've made me not able to trust a word this wiki has to say."

My rose tinted view of the argument are that basically I asked Wildcardmma to back up his/her statement that Vermouth has shown suicidal tendencies with references without success. (Note that I didn't remove said suicidal line from the article while the argument was in progress.) Without references, I suggested a compromise that avoided the word suicidal without effectively changing the content or meaning of the line: "However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series, both as a role she plays and as herself, it is possible she took the drug hoping to die, but was made younger like Haibara". it seems Wildcardmma was not pleased with this suggestion.
Also there was a disagreement about what the Black Org was doing by using APTX 4869 on people. Wildcardmma said field testing, I said murder weapon only (and provided multiple quotes to this effect). It really didn't matter to the content of the article as far as I can tell, but may have fueled her perception I was trying to force my own way, or something like that.
In the middle of all this, an IP came through and deleted the section because it contained speculation. (Edit summary: Wikis are supposed to be about facts. That paragraph was a statistical analysis and conclusion that may not be right, which led to the addition of possibilities by certain user(s).) I reverted because there is no policy against speculation (assuming it is informed and referenced), and because speculation sections (with competing ideas) are widespread across virtually all plot and plot character articles.
Basically, I think I have handled this as best as I can, but I hoping to get your opinion on this, and suggestions on what to do with speculation sections. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 19:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

And this. Because I am involved I feel like it would be better for someone else to warn the user. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 19:49, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

An Idea

Can we have a topic for the names of the characters in Other dubs? So far, I have done Arabic, French, German and Mohorovicic done some of the Korean when he was still in DCW. If you want to see it, click here. Thanx--conanshinichi 17:20, 20 May 2011 (UTC) hi]] 17:39, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

RE:User-specific templates

Right fixed, please let me know if I'm doing anything else wrong.

Letting you know

This is 69.150.21.53, Just to tell you that User:MichelleBrinegar is uploading images of people into rectangle shapes instead of square shapes on Conan: A Strange Child and The Great Dog Coeur's Triumph.

Suzuki Sonoko

The IP who changed that just now is a long term vandal who vandalized Eisuke once, but since then adds random characters to various episode cast lists. He's a low frequency vandal (less than once a week) who generally only makes a small number of bad edits at a time. I've never seen anything productive out of him. The IPs used so far are

• 180.190.163.16 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)
• 180.190.173.208 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)
• 180.190.185.97 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)

I don't think there is much we can do about him at this point, but I wanted to let you know he existed so two people could be looking for him. Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 17:08, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Changing names of the image

Maurice-sama, I have a question for you. How do you change the name of the image? How? --S261157 20:20, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

And how do you delete the image?

Permission

Thank you anyway. And here's I really want to ask you. Can I move "Kaitou Kid" into "Kaito Kid"? Reason: The title is Magic Kaito so it's supposed to be "Kaito". --S261157 20:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Um hello...........I'm asking you for permission.

So all I have to do is wait? That's it?

Case image

I thought it was supposed be like this: Case 1 that "1" is meaning Part 1.

New Here

Hi I'm new here. Just letting you know. If there's anything I should know please tell me. Hstar 15:55, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank You!

Thank you for cleaning up the Gallery Page I created, I was going to leave it and find an admin to clean it and you saved a lot of time, so thank you. I apologise if the pictures aren't very good quality. I just noticed that there aren't any DC Websites (that I could find) with Episode Galleries, this is a good website so I wanted it to be the first so I started uploading pictures. I need to get to grips with this website - I'm an Admin on the Pokemon Wiki you see. If there are any problems I'm guessing I can come to you for help! Hstar 17:23, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay so should I just take this Episode as a one off and add 30 relevant pictures (that way my hard work isn't put to waste) and then on Episode two (and all the other Episodes) have only thirty like you said? Or should I delete all the Episode 1 pictures and start off fresh with just minute by minute pictures with a maximum of thirty? Hstar 17:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I've removed some irrelevant pictures for more space. If I end up having over 30 when I finish I'll try and delete as many as possible. Hstar 17:49, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

The Gallery's complete - 30 Images exactly. Feel free to make any adjustments and give me constructive criticism. Change the captions if you like. I'll move on to Episode 2 the day after tomorrow. I won't always be able to work this fast as I have school 5 days a week, but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying! Hstar 20:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I have no idea why the jpg is in capitals, if I figure out how to stop it I'll try but for the moment I'm clueless. I'll move on to Episode 2 and use your advice (I was going to change the first frames but I think I'll leave it and try to do it minute by minute on Episode 2 instead of frame by frame). Hstar 14:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

File Sherlock Holmes

Hello Maurice, im rikku, a user from the german dcw. id like to ask, whether we can use the file named above in the german wiki as well. as philipp s. has told me, the german manga volume #1 doesnt provide aoyamas drawing for the detective picture book. certainly, there will be some kind of acknowledgment. yours, Rikku 18:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Rikku 20:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Interwiki links

Hello again. a few month ago we started connecting the articles from both of the german and this english dcw. after we had some difficulties in the beginning of 2011 we finally could add a lot of the interwiki links to your wiki until now. im planning to check (and fix) the links regularly with my bot as well. id like to offer my help, adding interwiki links to the german wiki in your wiki, since the bot is checking back links anyway.

1. i can publish the warning list somewhere here in the wiki, so you can add the correct interwiki links manually, or
2. if it is ok for you, i can ask my bot add missing back links directly.

please let me know, what you think about this. yours, Rikku 18:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Maurice. thanks a lot for your friendly reply. i havent added any interwiki links until now, since i have some problem to connect via api. i hope i can fix this soon. im very sorry i couldnt be much help until now. Rikku 20:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Episode 2's Gallery

The gallery for Episode Two is complete. Just giving you a heads up. Hstar 15:38, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed you improved my captions on Episode 1's gallery, could I keep telling you when I finish a gallery? And then you change the captions? Only your captions are better than mine. Or to make it even quicker for me to upload, would you like me to upload them and you caption them?

Introduction, Question, and Suggestion

Hello there Maurice. I've been a member of this wiki for a good while now, mostly as a reader, but I have recently become more active around the site. Seeing as how I've pretty much spammed the Recent changes page a few times, I figured I should just introduce myself and thank you for running such an awesome wiki! Believe me, I've seen some pretty awful ones, so it's nice to see someone so dedicated!

Anyways, I have a question for you since I am posting here. Could you take a look at this template I made and see if it's alright? I mostly copied and pasted from pre existing navigational boxes, and I think it works as it is right now, but the font looks kind of funky, and I'm not sure if I have the coding right following my edits. I did intend to center the movie titles and keep them all in one box/row, however, which is why I am slightly concerned. Since none of the other templates I could find on the site used the format I was looking for, I had to improvise to the best of my ability. Sooooo, yeah. Haha. Thanks!

Lastly, I have a request. Or rather a suggestion. I absolutely LOVE the whole plot legend system you have going for the manga, and the symbols you added look great (particularly the one for the Black Organization). When I looked up the B.O. icon, it said you were the author of the image, so I thought it best that I ask you this: Could you make an icon representing Kaitou Kid related chapters? Perhaps you can model it off of the B.O. one I keep mentioning. Just a suggestion/request. Either way, you did a nice job setting the whole system up! Visuals and organization are what keep me coming back to informational sites such as this one after all. :P

Thank you for your time and good job again on running this site! :D Hope to hear back from you soon!

Kaito Kid

This is 69.150.185.236, Oh Oh Oh! On Plot system, make Kaito Kid's drawing as a symbol just like he put on those letters!

Help

This is 69.150.185.236, I have a problem, I can't put Kaito Kid symbols in OVA plots. I try preview but it's not showing Kaito Kid's symbol.

Confusing

This is 69.150.185.236, this is confusing. On Chinatown Deja Vu in the Rain, I'm not so sure that Hama is last name. I just put Hama Mike. Confusing when there's English and Japanese together. Is it Mike Hama or just Hama Mike?

Watch Section

Do you think we should have a watch section for Episodes? I'll do an example on Episode 1, have a look and then tell me your thoughts - if it's a bad idea I'll remove the section immediatly. Hstar 17:16, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

A Few Things

I'm still figuring out how to properly respond to comments left on Talk pages, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. As for this oddly formatted response, I'm pretty much OCD about everything looking nice, so this is my attempt at fitting everything in with one edit and still being organizaed. So, anyways, here we go...

RE: RE: Introduction, Question, and Suggestion

Thank you for your kind words about my kind words! lol I'm glad to hear comments such as my previous help motivate and encourage. I really do appreciate all of the hard work that this entire community put into the site. Detective Conan is an amazing series that I believe goes unappreciated at times. Communities and projects such as this Wiki really help spread word of the series and how dedicated the fans are! Kudos to you for starting this great site, and to everyone for maintaining it! I'll be sure to continue contributing because, just like yourself, I have enjoyed myself thus far! Thanks again! Oh, and the Kaito Kid symbol looks great! I've already seen it being integrated and it seems to be working out well! Thanks for listening to my request!

RE: Juzo Megure Appearances

Thank you again for your kind words! As for Wiki experience, I do have some. A few years back I contributed to Wikipedia frequently, but all the vandalism, rules, and arguing just took the fun out of it. It's been a few years since then, so I've gotten a little rusty, but I'm starting to get back into the hang of it. Smaller communities such as this seem to be more dedicated and enjoyable anyways, not to mention far less confrontational. Sure thing! You can count on me! :)

FBI Template

In my attempt to better organize and group together various articles, I decided to try and make a template for the FBI. Unfortuneatly, I can't quite decide on how the template should be organized. I've listed two of my different concepts below for you to visualize. Particularly with the second template, I used coding from other tables on the site to help me format. I'm not sure about what order the names should be listed in, or what color scheme should be used for the table overall, but I think those are pretty easy edits. If you could take a look at the two templates below and tell or show me what you think in terms of coding, organization, and edits needed for the final product, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Template 1

For the first template, I tried to integrate the FBI ensignia within the formatting. Perhaps the coding can be tweaked or image shifted to the right, but I think the template came out looking pretty nice. There aren't many articles at this point concerning the FBI for me to use in the template, so I simply listed all current agents on one row. The names are all to the right of the ensignia, centered with the remaining empty space. For the sake of information, I added Scar Akai next to Shuichi as his true identity has yet to be revealed. That can be reworked or removed entirely.

Template 2

The second template I created simply follows the formatting used here and here. Again, with so little information to go off of, I could only things into two rows: 'Active Agents' and 'Deceased Agents'. If consistence is important, this template is probably the better one to choose. On the 'Deceased Agents' row, I listed Akai Shuichi and Scar Akai, as his death is still up for debate. I would put Jodie's father here as well, but his name is unknown and he has never actually appeared to my knowledge. Anyways, height, width, and overall perimeters can be adjusted if need be, and again, some coding may need to be worked on. I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of Wiki format.

Federal Bureau of Investigation
Active Agents	James Black • Jodie Starling • Andre Camel
Deceased Agents	Shuichi Akai (See Scar Akai for more)

Finale

I write a lot sometimes, so hopefully all of this doesn't overwhelm ya! lol Thanks for listening! --Jigsaw 22:50, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Video File=Media File?

Is it possible to upload videos to this website? I know you can upload Media Files so would a video count? It's a video of Episode 1 with subtitles. I was thinking maybe if I did Episode Galleries and videos that would be even better for articles. Also maybe we could adapt the watch section of this wiki (I know it's broken atm) and link it! Also that means that if school ever stops me from taking the time to create galleries I can still upload videos! Let me know your thoughts! Hstar 16:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Or I could re-link the watch section to valid links - it's a huge task but I'm up for it! Hstar 17:02, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Award

Sweet! Thanks!! :D --Skyechan 03:31, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

No Images

http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Eyewitness_Who_Did_Not_See On the people section there are a lot of redlinks, would you like me to re-upload or replace the images? Hstar 12:27, 25 June 2011 (UTC) I'm also working on the Grass Court Queen/Holmes Revelation people. For the characters I definitely know, I'll add the images. Also is Hestia the woman in sunglasses? Because I've uploaded the woman in sunglasses as her. Hstar 12:44, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Foreign Languages thing

How about instead in every Character's Article, we'll put a table called 'In other Languages'? Like this would be an example for Shinichi's Topic:

Language	Name
日本語　Japanese	新一　Shin’ichi
English	Jimmy
Français (French)	Shinichi
Deutsch (German)	Shinichi
عربي 　(Arabic)	سنشي 　Sinshi
한국어 (Korean )	남도일 Nam Doyle

Chekhov MaccGuffin

http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Talk:Vermouth#Confusing

Over the course of this page, I find that Chekhov has been less than considerate of other users' theories, and has said that a wiki is meant for just such behavior. I find it hard to believe that someone like this would be made moderator. He even went so far as to repeatedly ignore what I and two other users wrote when making his points. As another IP said, such behavior and a position of power casts serious doubt on anything posted on this wiki. I understand there's going to be debate, but that's not what he's after; this behavior is more akin to single-mindedness. I also found that he chased a certain user away, and evidently the other IP is not returning. And to be fair, I'm also not returning either once this situation is over. Clean up you moderator's behavior towards other users, or I'm going over your head.

Foreign thing help!

Right, so I when I started to add them to the Character pages such as Shinichi's Conan's and Mitsuhiko's, I realized I might need to make a Template, so eventually I made the Template but I want to as you a question: How do you make it so that the languages only appear if you type. Example if you write only the Korean one so

 {{CharLang
 |korean-name    = 코난 Konan
 |korean-surname = n/a
  }}

Which becomes:

Language	Given Name	Family Name
Japanese
English
French
German
Arabic
Korean	코난 Konan	n/a

How do you get rid of the Other Languages??? Can you please put the code for it to work. Becuase it kinda does for the Character Table Template Can you please reply once you fixed the problem. thanx ---conanshinichi 17:20, 20 May 2011 (UTC) hi]] 20:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
