I was thinking about maybe creating a category entitled Category:.hack series voice actors. Is it a good idea?

If we have gained copyright permissions, can we offically put up our .hack// Website on the external list? (Due to the largest .hack// Gallery on the web?) User: Code_2008 March 19th, 2008 - Okay, seriously... who keeps removing the link, and why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Code 2008 (talk • contribs) 04:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Looking at your gallery, the first thing I noticed was a photo I took that I've never released the copyright to. No credit or anything. Claims of it being the largest gallery should also be supported by some sort of evidence... In addition, the wiki on the site has entire pages that are just patchwriten from the .hack//WIKI without giving credit or using a compatible license. - Kuukai2 (talk) 00:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What Is This???

I have come across this entry accidentally, but having read it am none the wiser as to what it's actually about? It reads like a piece of specialist commercial literature about some esoteric computer game. Why is this notable or important enough for a Wiki entry?????62.56.102.209 21:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

It's a manga/anime series. And yes this page need a lot of work. --CRtwenty 01:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
No, it's not a manga nor an anime. .hack is a multimedia franchise. The manga and anime series, as well video game series, this franchise has spanned have their respective article.Kazu-kun 03:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
FMA is the same way, yet I see it uses the anime/manga templates on its page. The fact of the matter is, this page, which is supposed to tell people what .hack is about, tells absolutely nothing. And the average person isn't going to wade through all the other pages to try and figure out what it is. Look at the post above, the guy read the article and had absolutely no idea what the page was about, this is a problem that I intend to fix. I don't care if you consider it a "multimedia franchise" the rest of the world sees it as an anime/manga series. End of discussion.
End of discussion? The article isn't yours, and if you keep that attitude eventually you'll be banned from editing. Anyway, this is not the same as FMA. FMA began as a manga, and then spanned different adaptation. .hack, on the other hand was conceived from the start as a multimedia franchise. Even when talking about the two multimedia projects, .hack began as a video game, which has nothing to do with anime and manga. Now go take a look at this interview with Daisuke Uchiyama, one of the creator of the .hack franchise. BTW, new posts go at the bottom of the page. EDIT: Also, take a look at the Boogiepop article - Boogiepop also spanned anime and manga, but it started as a light novel series, therefore no infobox is used in the article; .hack began as a multimedia franchise, and there's no need for infobox either.Kazu-kun 03:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, and the Boogiepop article has information on the series as a whole. Not two little stubs talking about something called "Project .hack" and ".hack Conglomerate". You don't have to call it an anime/manga series if you want. But this is the main .hack page, so it should have information about the entire series. And until this article has this information, I'm going to keep editing it. As it is this page is a joke, you can't even tell what the hell it's supposed to be about. --CRtwenty 04:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Also, .hack//SIGN was the first piece of media released. It was developed at the same time as the first game, but the anime was released a good two months before the game. So .hack was an anime before it was a game. --CRtwenty 04:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kazu-kun:

Please stop vandalizing the wiki. Wikipedia has no "First is most important rule", and there are many other multimedia wiki pages that have infoboxes for ALL the media involved in the project regardless of which came out at what date. Hell, the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya links to the anime, even though the light novels came out several years before. Besides, .hack//Sign came out two months before .hack//Infection, so your point is moot anyway. --[[75.135.82.7 04:41, 6 November 2007 (UTC)|AuraTwilight]]

I'm not vandalizing, and but the way, there's an article for the Haruhi light novels.Kazu-kun 04:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but is it the main page you see when you search "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"? This is the page for the entire .hack series, so it should information on the series as a whole. That includes anime and manga. Just because you have some sort of vendetta against putting information here doesn't mean the rest of us .hack fans do. --CRtwenty 05:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I see you know what good faith means. Anyway, I don't have any vendetta or whatever, and I'm not being rude to you either, as opposed to you. I have nothing against improving the article. I just want you to discuss things first because there are policies and guilines we have to follow here on wikipedia. That's all.Kazu-kun 05:53, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
It needs to point to all the various parts of .hack. .hack isn't one series with a bunch of spin offs, it refers to all the pieces as a whole. --199.242.209.47 05:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree. We're not dealing with one series and its adaptations. .hack is a franchise: various series comprising one sole thing.Kazu-kun 05:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
You guys see why I created .hack//Wiki? Because of Wikipedia's shitty rules and guidelines and dumbass users. ZOMG! TEH FLAMES!! It's pointless to try and argue with him. It's obvious he's too hardheaded to see that .hack should link to its various series, like Star Wars does. The #1 rule of Wikipedia is no consistency. Wikipedia is supposed to be based off English names and such, yet I see weeaboo-esque articles for the DBZ series like Kuririn and Yamucha. Kulaguy 06:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Precisely, .hack is a franchise. So why aren't all the parts of it clearly explained on the main page? As the main page for the entire series, one should be able to get a brief understanding of the entire series from it without having to go into the tons of minor articles (most of which are quite frankly, unnecessary). You claim to want to improve the article, but all I've seen so far is an attempt to revert any attempt to improve the page. Just a few days ago this page contained absolutely no useful information, and yet you keep trying to revert it back to that state. Why? --CRtwenty 09:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I merged Project .hack and .hack Conglomerate into this article. That way it links to all its series, as Kulaguy suggested.Kazu-kun 16:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, the article looks a whole let better now. --CRtwenty 17:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] .HACK CONGLOMERATE MAINS TORY LINE ORDER

IT IS ARRANGED IN THE ORDER OF WHICH THE EVENTS TAKE PLACE IN THE WORLD BUT WHATS THE ORDER THAT THEY CAME OUT IN? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.17.249 (talk) 01:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I will delete the above post in one (1) week if no one mindsScottrandall (talk) 07:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] .hack//G.U.+

would there be any objections if I wrote an article for .hack//GU+? Especially now that it's being distributed in English by Tokyopop, I think it deserves one. Sairith (talk) 01:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
