Thanks for that. I think it was during the upload the caused the file to be corrupt. I'll fix this later when I'm sure my connection is stable.

Ryuki, could you check the latest changes I've made in the guyver page? I've moved the "Guyver Gigantic" page to "Gigantic", so that I could use that page for the template of Sho's gigantic. However, my connection is very screwy at the moment and I can't view the wiki page. When I try to load the "Guyver Systems" only a white page appears. I'm not sure if the image I uploaded of the guyver gigantic is the cause of it, because it happened after I uploaded the image. That's also the reason why I uploaded the image twice. I was trying to make it similar to Gigantic Dark. Thanks.

True. But I don't believe what you call the "big 3" as the only propagator in conflicts. Perhaps that is what many think mainly because they are mostly covered by the news and a majority thus the frequent attention. I'm not even sure what your "big 3" is. What you refer to as those who become self-centered due to their beliefs are what you call fanatics. And we all know what happens to fanatics driven on the wrong direction. It's usually personal attacks and they are using religion as their justification for doing such. I won't argue about the sports/religion issue since it is not relevant. And believe me, religion has caused far more stupidity than the one posted in this topic. Remember the crusades? -
Like I always say, there is no point in posting things in a public forum if you intend to keep it private.

I don't think it's religion that divides the people but rather the self-centerness of individuals who insists their beliefs into others. This issue is the prime example, that Christian guy was insisting his beliefs to a muslim community. Religion is not what people are arguing about, but rather who has the best religion. it's the age old vice of all men, trying to see who can piss the farthest. With the current issue at hand, I can simply substitue religion with a local sports team and you will still get the same result. Heck, I've seen a more violent reaction on a sporting event. -
Don't you think it would be redundant to link the zoaform page from the main guyver page seeing that the page itself is already incorporated into it's own page? In any case, I've moved all the info of the zoaforms in the main page to the zoaform page, and used it as a template on the main guyver page.
-
Done. Re-uploaded the image. This time I didn't use the magic wand tool. Hopefully this would be better.
-
Yup, I get the images from the VDF and edit them. At first I edit them using the magic wand tool in Photoshop, but I found that the edges doesn't quite look right if I did that. But on the most recent images (zoanoids), I manually edit the edges. And usually, the images I upload are larger than the ones that I replaced. Is there a specific image that you want redone? Perhaps an example so that I won't repeat them later on.
-
Totally agree. But then, if we do that, should we remove the link for the zoaform in the navbox since it's already part of the main guyver page?
-
Could be, depending on the context. If the subject is the detective, then yes, it can be harsh detective. It could also mean that being a detective is harsh. But in this context, yes, I agree with you that it means Harsh detective, or detective is harsh.

Okay, I took the time to watch the actual video of what happened. I'm not sure what you guys think, but it looks to me like the crowd was being sarcastic to the guy answering all the questions. The fact that he acknowledge the question "Why is christianity better than muslim?" would already make sparks. Being in a muslim event preaching, even though it was the crowd asking questions, is already an action of bad faith. You do not preach in a muslim event. Period. Sure, the police officers may have handled the situation in an exaggerated manner, but I still think those 4 guys shouldn't have done what they did. No, they don't deserve what happened to them, but I don't think they should have gotten off lightly too. -
Looks good to me. But if we go that route, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with the shading. My sense of color is really screwy. Unless of course we only use a simple gray toning. That I can pretty much do. Anyway, to help you out a little, I can upload images for non-existing ones, or the ones that needs new images, then I'll have to leave the rest to you, if you are fine with that arrangement.
-
You have a point about the white background, some images does seem to be pale. But a simple adjustment of the brightness and contrast might be able to fix this. Well, my only issue with the black background is due to the grainy appearance it produces. But with a larger image and better editing, I think it would be fine. I guess I didn't like the black background before when I was doing the zoanoid pages and noticed how poorly the quality was. But the guyver images looks crisp. Ideally, I think having a colored images would be the best, but unfortunately, the availability is very limited. If you asked me to choose between a shade of color or the current black background, I'd choose the black background if the images were as crisp as the guyvers, more so if we are using black and white images.

I do apologize first if I offend anyone with this post, but such issues are very fickle to the point of irritating. These kinds of incidents always happen because of the persons involved being narrow minded. I see certain religious groups denouncing gay, arabs, and other minority groups which I think is wrong. A certain religious group protesting a minority would be the same as oppression, which is the exact opposite of Freedom of Speech. The extreme opposite of this issue, like what just happened, is just as bad. Remember that anger can lead to people doing reckless and irrepairable things. So to those who put picket fences, make a rally or demonstration and do protest, I think these people are just narrow minded. -
I think having the original Japanese text would improve the accuracy of the checking. As you guys may well be aware, there are similar words with totally different meanings. Also, not everyone writes the same way in romanji.
-
I don't think they need immediate attention. For the moment, I would like to concentrate on fixing the technical data, so the height chart can come later. I really don't want to impose on you since I can imagine how tricky those can be. Perhaps when I'm completely done with a certain page, then I'll make a request to have the images on that particular page to be done. But due to my short attention span, I tend to jump from page to page so it might take a while before I complete a page.
-
Ryuki, sorry, but some of the old images bothered me so I had to re-upload them with a more cleaner version, which removed the height comparison. The black background really bothered me since I thought that doesn't suit a page with white background. Anyway, I'm re-uploaded the images for the hyper zoanoid team 5 ( http://www.japan-legend.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hyper_Zoanoid_Team_5 ) along with Zx-tole. I hope you don't mind. Also uploaded an image of Aptom in the lost numbers section (Aptom Trinity Blast and Evil Aptom).
-
Ah, no problem. first is overall height (excluding spikes) second is overall width (excluding spikes) third is weight (before fusion)
-
Well, if you insist, then I guess I will have to impose on you. I'm currently working on the technical data for the zoalords, and I noticed that some of the pictures of the Zoalords are either outdated or unclear. Additionally, black isn't really a background I would choose seeing that the wiki page is white. As seen in this page: http://www.japan-legend.com/wiki/index.php?title=Zoalord I've re-used the images that were previously provided. Some zoalords doesn't even have their own image. Also, please feel free to change the term "Alternative" for the other zoalords as I'm currently at a loss at how to label them accordinly. And lastly, do you think I should re-write the descriptions for the technical page of each zoalords to contain what is written on the Data files instead? These descriptions were only copied from the Japanese wiki.
-
Ooh! I didn't know that folder existed. Thanks. As for the other works, I don't think I remember doing them. I know there were a few that I did, but some volumes for translation didn't include the data files. Now if only I manage to squeeze in more time at home so I could photoshop these to fit the wiki. It's been a long time since I heated up for a project like this.
-
Moving forward, I know it's not my place to request this, but I thought I'd at least somehow try. But would it be possible to request for the data files that are featured after every guyver volume? I could use them to enhance the wiki. I'm actually looking for later volumes that the VDF did not cover.

Well, finished editing the Zx-tole page. I've created separate pages for Zx-tole and Neo Zx-tole like how we did it with the other zoanoids. Then using these pages as a template, attached them to the character page of Zx-tole under the Technical Data section. I have also done the same for the Lost Numbers page. Here's the details of what I did: Created Zx-tole technical page attached Zx-tole technical page to Zx-tole section of Hyper Zoanoid. Created Neo Zx-tole technical page attached Neo Zx-tole technical page to Neo Zx-tole section of Lost Number page. Attached technical page of Zx-tole and Neo Zx-tole to Zx-tole character page. Reformatted Lost Number page to adopt template similar to that of Zoanoid. Reformatted the Lost Number section of the Zoaform page to redirect to Lost Numbers Updated Aptom page to include technical data from each individual aptom forms, as used in the Lost Number page. Created Biofreezer page attached biofreezer page to the Lost Number page. I hope you approve of this. Although content-wise, they still need a lot of work. Still trying to figure out how i can fit the biofreezer page as a template into Hayami's page.
-
I think I know how we can satisfy both of our conditions. Since we have a technical page for Zx-tole and a Neo Zx-tole, perhaps we can use these pages as a template for the technical section of Zx-tole's character page. I'll go work on it now and see how it looks.
-
I don't know, since we are dealing with Zx-tole as a character instead of a zoanoid, I think it would be better to put them in together. If it were to be 2 similar zoanoids, say, Zerbebuth and Zerbebuth-R, I would agree to have them on 2 separate pages and linked together with a template, but we are telling a story of the Character Zx-tole and how he became Neo Zx-tole. That's a completely different circumstance. The same with Murakami and Imakarum. Let me try to edit the page first and see how it looks. If you don't think it's up to standard, the roll-back options is there to revert the changes. But after re-reading your post, I think I get your idea. We will still have the zoanoid data for Zx-tole and his 2 zoanoid forms, we will just have an in-depth page dedicated to Zx-tole. He's that cool to deserve his own page.
