I have the bad habit of forgetting to uncheck the "minor edit" box. It wasn't an intentional action. - DynSkeet * Talk 12:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Sun Wukong

You recently made an edit to the article Sun Wukong, stating that "Commas and periods always go inside quotation marks. ALWAYS." This is true only as taught in the United States. The United Kingdom and other countries more closely tied to the former empire apply logic to whether or not the comma or period should go within the quotes. Here's a couple references a quick search pulled up: [1] [2] Just thought you should know (and give you a heads up on any potential cultural backlash). --Reverend Loki 00:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

You know you're doing something good when you get praise from a professional writer ^.^ Thanks for your praise, though I don't know if I am that much of an editor as you may say, though I am willing to improve.

But thanks!! =) VelocityEX 23:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kamehameha

According to Daizex.com [3], whether or not she intentionally derived that from the name of the original Hawaiian king, we don't know; a rough translation of the Japanese would be "Turtle Destruction Wave," though, so it really could go either way. According to Dragon Ball Z: The Anime Adventure Game, a licensed Dragon Ball Z RPG by R. Talsorian games, "--according to Akira Toriyama himself, the Kamehameha attack was named by his wife, who really was thinking of the Hawaiian king!" This in the "In Translation" info box on page 45 of the first book.

However, that particular series of RPG books makes a number of incredible errors in logic, the use of facts stated in the manga of Dragon Ball and anime of Dragon Ball Z, and internal consistency. This is attributed to the books being written, editted, and so-forth, primarily by one man. While the books are riddles with inconsistencies and errors, there is still quite a bit they do get right, and which can be checked with other sources online, or in print, to verify that they are indeed correct, and this is one of those that appears to have logical and factual backing, as most places where I have seen explanations of the origins of the Kamehameha's name included that it definitely was named after the Hawaiian king. This does not necessarily make it true, as just because a number of people believe, say, or do something speaks nothing for whether it is correct or not, however if multiple licensed or trusted sources make a claim, I am more likely to believe it than if it was just some fan theory.

I am unaware of any websites that have interviews with Akira Toriyama on them, and if I found them, they would most likely be in Japanese, which, unfortunately, I never picked up from my mom, and my computer doesn't support translation programs for it, due to a lot of stupid things I won't bore you with. Thus, I am unable to verify R. Talsorian Games' claims that Toriyama stated specifically that his wife was thinking of the Hawaiian king. However, misquoting someone, or saying they said something they didn't could have landed them in a lot of hot water, and since no legal action was taken against them, they were most likely correct about this. After all, they readily admit that Toriyama did NOT ever state specifically in the manga or anime by what amount one's powerlevel is modified when using Super Saiyajin 1, other than later on saying that it, "can't be measured mathematically", which would make sense, seeing as power levels seemed to fluctuate in SSJ1 based on emotional state. The angrier or more determined an individual is, the stronger they get. This may not make sense from a logical perspective, but one must remember that Akira Toriyama is a storyteller, and thus goes with what makes a good story, rather than what necessarily makes sense to people who overanalyze his works.

I diverged from the main topic, but the point remains that the two sources I provided either outright state that it was named after Kamehameha I, or admit it is a possibility. I have not seen anyone deny it, or propose a different theory. Something else that should be taken into consideration is Akira Toriyama's love of puns. Wouldn't it make sense for him to use a name that had two meanings in order to introduce yet another pun into his writing? If you can provide evidence that goes counter to that which I have provided, or point out any errors in logic, please do so.

Thank you for your time.

[edit] Rewrite of the plot section of Devil May Cry 2

Since you've got an interest in the Devil May Cry articles, I figured you'd like to drop by and give me your comments about my rewrite. I'm planning on doing similar sourcing for the Gameplay section and the Reaction section. Cheers, Lankybugger 08:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments regarding the Plot Summary rewrite. I'll be taking your advice into consideration and will be shortening the article a bit but I would argue that the length is roughly where it needs to be by Wikipedia guidelines. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a Featured Article game roughly similar to Devil May Cry 2 in terms of size and scope and the plot summary is almost as large as the "raw" form I've written here.
However, as I mentioned on the Devil May Cry 2 talk page, this rewrite was just a rough which can serve as a guideline while I do condense things. Anyway, thanks again for the feedback! It's really appreciated. Cheers, Lankybugger 16:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, to be fair to you in terms of citing, I've lucked out for the plot section by having a copy of the script. It was pretty much just a case of copying, pasting, and a bit of work with the formatting to get everything cited in the article. I'm sure that by the time I finish the Devil May Cry 2 summary it'll probably be down to around 400-500 words. I'll drop a line to ask you to look things over when I do some more work on the thing, if you don't mind. Cheers, Lankybugger 04:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I've managed to drop about 200 words off of the Plot Summary. I think the official count was 619 words, though again it could probably use some better compacting here and there. If you wouldn't mind taking another look, I'd appreciate it. A second set of eyes on any wall of text always helps. Cheers, Lankybugger 03:45, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey man im about what I did I thought was doing the right thing and I messed up. I made a mistake will ya forgive me? Dark knight sparda

[edit] Regarding Characters in Devil May Cry

Sure, I'd have no problems checking over the Lucia entry and adding something for Arius. As far as Argosax is concerned, I don't really think it's necessary for him to have an entry. Most of the details concerning him are vaguely implied at best and he's pretty much just a plot device. Any entry I could cook up would probably be a few sentences long. Instead, I'll roll information on Argosax into the Arius portion.

Though funnily enough, I don't actually own Devil May Cry 2 myself... I'm just borrowing a copy from a friend. The entire reason I started working the article is pure spite for some of the lazier Wikipedians who spend most of their time complaining. I think one user complained that the DMC2 article was the worst of the lot, so now I'm going to try to make it the best.

The editing of the Characters in Devil May Cry article will have to wait until later, however. Sorry. Cheers, Lankybugger 20:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I had a chance to read over the rewritten section about Lucia. It looks pretty good as it is, though it could probably use some sourcing. I'll take care of that when I get home if you haven't already, since most of the sourcing can be taken from the stuff I've done for the Devil May Cry 2 article. Cheers, Lankybugger 20:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About Goku's height.

Hello, my name is Charles and I would like to ask you about Goku's height. I saw your opinion well at the "Talk:Son Goku (Dragon Ball)" site. I also want to believe Goku's height is about 170cm(5'7") as the Daizenshuu says. However, I found an interesting material saying his height is 175cm. I wouldn't think highly of this if this claim is on a private site, but this fact that Goku's height is 175cm is on a Japanese wikipedia page. Because Japan is where Dragonball series were born, I carefully propose that Goku's height could actually be 175cm as the Japanese wikipeia page says. If his height is really 5'7" as the Daizenshuu states, I would like you to prove that 5'7" is height of not 'growing' Goku, but 'fully-grown' Goku, and retort the content on the Japanese wikipedia page that Goku's height is 175cm. Here's the site that insists Goku's height is 175cm. [4] --Hilight 06:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Devil May Cry...

I must say your last comment on Dante's talk page got me thinking, there seems to be a need to organize and improve some of the Devil May Cry pages, so my proposal here is how about we create a WikiProject:Devil May Cry that way these articles could be sorted out (hopefully some of them can reach Good Article) and mantained, so what do you think? -Dark Dragon Flame 05:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Great, I will fill up for it and start contacting people about it first thing tomorrow, see you then. -Dark Dragon Flame 05:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Devil May Cry Proposal

I already nominated the project for existence, please sing here under Interested Wikipedians in the Devil May Cry entry, thanks for your time! -Dark Dragon Flame 06:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Userbox

I already designed a userbox for the project what do you think? -Dark Dragon Flame 07:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
This Wikipedian is a member of the WikiProject Devil May Cry
This Wikipedian is a member of the WikiProject Devil May Cry

How about this one it's a Wikipedia common so there should be no trouble right? -Dark Dragon Flame 08:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok I have this two versions both of the with Commons images wich one you think looks better? -Dark Dragon Flame 08:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Same here, don't you have something with maybe a dark-gothic kind of look, that might also fit. -Dark Dragon Flame 08:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hanyo? not really...

Yeah I was actually looking up Hanma wich is the correct term for demon-human hybrid, but somebody had the brilliant idea of merging it on the Hanyo- page, the only description of Hanma is there even further the term Half-Demon redirects there, what should we do? -Dark Dragon Flame 04:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok then, yeah the only thing close to a "heaven" (funny considering that is their "hell") is where you find Mundus as an statue in the first game; somebody should create a separate page for half demon though. -Dark Dragon Flame 04:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah they are simmilar I didn't gave it much thought and it didn't hit me (it wasn't as obvious as other references to The Divine Comedy and it has been three years since last time I read it) about the demon world's resemblance to cristianity's teorical "heaven" I think there might be a message there, at least we know there is more than one god in the Sparda universe so I somewhat doubt they will use the view of monotestic afterlife because in my opinion something like that might make followers of religions other than Cristianity or Islam and so on lose interest in the series wich translates to we may never know.

[edit] About the images in Dante's Article

Sorry to bother. It seems that Dante's article is going through a lot of changes lately, more than what I can keep a record of since I haven't been able to expend much time around the internet lately, but I hope everything turns out ok in the end.

At any rate, I was wondering if you really believe that the images should be reduced. I won't complain if you feel like that, it's just that, well, I don't think anyone likes his or her work being left apart or discarded, and I've actually got a liking to illustrating articles.

So... well, tell me what you think, and cheers, I know you're doing your best with Dante's and other DMC's articles ^_^ (Alexlayer 13:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC))


Yeah, I alredy got it that more is not always better, it's just that I felt that images was a point down in Dante's article during the latest articles. I think I'll try to look careful on it and decide with images should go and which not (By example, I don't think that two images of Dante in DMC1 is better than two of him in diferents games). I'll also try to base my work in Featured and Good Articles. Thanks for the opinion (Alexlayer 16:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Category change

Hi, I am just contacting everyone in Category:Wikipedian atheists to tell them that the category is pretty redundant because of Category:Atheist Wikipedians, which is far, far more populated. As such, I think it is best that we all move ourselves into the bigger group, and then the smaller one is deleted. Thanks. J Milburn 19:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Ignore me, I have found the userbox that was causing the problem and changed it. Thanks. J Milburn 19:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I've created the Devil May Cry (series) page.

Right now it's in pretty terrible shape, though I'm probably going to be tackling it soonish since the Devil May Cry 2 article has been cleaned up enough that it's likely going to make GA class. Feel free to drop by the talk page over there and give your own thoughts about the page.

Right now it's a mishmash of stuff serving as a placeholder, but I'm sure we can salvage some of this stuff for a better article as a whole. Cheers, Lankybugger 19:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for the heads-up. I'll drop by. --Boradis 20:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Devil May Cry 2 FAC

Hello, I've currently placed the Devil May Cry 2 article as a Featured Article Candidate. I'd appreciate it if you took the time to review the article and commented on the nomination. Please be as brutal as possible. Cheers, Lankybugger 19:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DMC Template proposal

I've currently proposed a totally new navigation box for the Devil May Cry template. I'd very much appreciate your comments on the navbox, if you'd care to take a look. If you support the navbox, please indicate this on the talk page. Cheers, Lankybugger? speak? see? 18:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It has been a while; DMC task force

Okay it has been around a month and we have enought members to be an effective group, after some thought I decided to organize a Task force and finally devote some of my time to the DMC articles. So are you okay with task force right? -DDF 20:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Yup, let's go. Good timing too, since a lot is supposed to happen with the franchise this year. --Boradis 20:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I already created the project page and it's talk page, check it out, so what do you think about it? -DDF 23:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Devil May Cry-Good Article

When you have time can you take a look at Devil May Cry, do you know of any more references that can be added there? that's one of the few things that needs work here, the article will be a Good Article by this Weekend but it seems to need more refs, thanks for your time. -DDF 21:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

You bet. I'll look around for what I can find. --Boradis 21:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Devil May Cry 3

Now that Devil May Cry is Good Article I will be focusing on Devil May Cry 3 starting tommorow, I already went there and did some cleanup and cutted down what I thought were fancruft sections, Lankybugger is dealing with the plot (wich is missing at this moment) and that might be ready by then so I will work on it full time after it's done just asking, do you have time to help with it tommorow? the more the merrier and this is the only game lacking at least Good Article status and if we all work together it might be nominated this week, so what do you say? -? 02:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I should have the time, yeah. I'm really geeked that these articles are all getting up to GA status, I've been wishing they were for quite a while now but what you and Lankybugger have been doing has been incredible. I'll do whatever I can. --Boradis 03:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

No biggie, I am still adding some where I think are needed, Peace. ? 04:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Here[5] a full script for the game, although it's not entirely perfect it's still quite accurate. --? 05:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Yeah, however don't expect all the mistakes that he made in there to be here I noticed a few while writting it but I was in a hurry after doing the work on Dante's page, it's a shame this wasn't done about a year ago when I was attaining the whole holygrail thing (you know SS on every mission) back then I remembered almost all the game's lines by heart, I will see what can be done tommorow I will take out the game and the memory card and look for mistakes, as a side note can you take a look at Dante's page with a little work it can reach Good Article, Peace. --? 05:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A favor

Great to see you are here, I have done all the requests presented on Devil May Cry's Featured Article Candidate page exept for one, Rewriting the prose, I can't do that part until Monday, I left Lankybugger a message about it yesterday but he has not been here since then, now I know you can do this kind of stuff properly so as a favor I ask can you do this? it's the only thing remaining to raise Devil May Cry to Featured article status so we can proceed to DMC 3, Peace. --? 22:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok. It's about lunchtime here in Honolulu, and I'm about to take a break to go eat, but I should have time this afternoon and evening to do some rewriting. Are the sections that need it spelled out on the talk page, or somewhere else? --Boradis 22:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Mainly the Reception and gameplay sections but the plot needs some work, if you need something leave me a message on my talk page I should be able to anser it late (after midnight) tommorow night gotta go now, until then farewell and enjoy your dinner. -? 23:01, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Holy hell! you did a incredible job those that complained about the prose are finally supporting and believe me I know how hard is to rewrite an article with all that people complaining, you deserve this:

Image:CopyeditorStar7.PNG The Copyeditor's Barnstar
For you work on so many Devil May Cry related articles you deserve this, Peace. -? 20:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

DAMN! Thanks a ton! It was just lucky you needed this on one of the days I got bitten by the writing bug. Thanks again!!! --Boradis 20:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Yo thanks for dealing with the strike thing, it's odd I haven't modified that comment in a while and it never did that until Lankybugger's comment, oh well no biggie. --?

Dude sorry but I will have to revert your edits all the additional wordines was because of the events in the FAC please read the page we have two users telling us what they wan't to support and we need them to reach consensus.--?

I only reverted the plot but please read the updates in the FAC before and try to keep them happy.--?

I just posted there agreeing with all of Tony's points (though I did reinsert an "also", and he's right to point that out) and 2/3 points made by Arcayne. Other changes I just made however don't affect their requests. I only took out information on why Trish was crying (plot relevant how?) and a mention of Eva's name (again, not relevant). Also, I fixed spelling errors and typos, changed passive voice writing to active voice, and explained each edit in detail. Mind if I re-fix those things? --Boradis 03:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I restored some the changes you did that didn't affect their requests, the line about Trish crying maybe just needs to be reworded but it was kind of akward to begin the sentence with her crying for no reason, Eva's name can be taken out and that just left as the amulet, but let's keep Dante out of there Tony already complained of the overuse of the name. --? 03:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I strongly agree with all of that. I pointed out in an edit summary that I sometimes get "broken record" syndrome, and I'll bet most of the "Dante"s are mine. --Boradis 04:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Then of to editing again, I forgot to anser that last part on your previous commentary so here it is: sure fix all you want as long as the people on the FAC don't start complaining I think you do a great job I rarely revert an edit you make and this time I just reverted the plot because of the FAC. --? 04:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Gotcha, thanks. I think you got most of them, but if any slipped by they'll get caught. --Boradis 04:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Maybe a barn itself? but seriously thanks for that comment.-? 04:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

And Devil May Cry finally passed FAC, you deserve much credit in this it would have never been risen without your help, Cheers! -? 03:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Awesome! Will it get on the front page? And if so, when? Congratulations are due all around! Thanks for getting us organized and herding it through the process! Which page is next on the list? --Boradis 04:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes it will, now when? that is a mistery. The articles are selected here [6], they have this pattern of putting up one VG article in a month so it's not going to be april cause of the Wiisteria, but I will keep an eye on it and announce it on the task force's talk page. I sended you an e-mail replying your comment and telling you what I have planed, Cheers! --? 05:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I sent you an e-mail if it doesn't arrive tell me, cheers! -? 23:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DMC Sketch Image

Boradis, I've uploaded the image you've just moved, but didn't leave it INSIDE the Development section because it ended up looking like this: [7]

In your monitor it may possible look better, but in mine, and surely in others, it may look like that and I don't think that would be a better fitting. --Alexlayer 01:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

It was "colliding" with the horizontal rule at the top of the Development section when I first saw it. The thing to do in that case is just what DDF ended up doing; he resized the image so it fits within the Development section. Anyhow, I didn't mean to imply anything bad by moving it. --Boradis 04:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DMC 3

I am kind of surprised but the people at WikiProject video games finally attended a peer review request. See here I have attended some of the points but it still needs work, so it seems we are back on business. -? 01:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

That's great. Probably the stellar work by you and Lankybugger in getting DMC2 then DMC1 to FA status got them to notice the pages. Then maybe folks realized some responsible Wikipedians are taking care of these pages. Anyhow, I'll pitch in on responding to the points brought up in the review as well. Thanks for the heads-up. --Boradis 04:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I hope, and we are close to putting that third bronce star in there. Acording to the peer review we only need to work with the prose. I am convinced that if you do a great job like with DMC we can put this one in the Featured category at least twice as fast than last time, then comes Dante and before we know we can have a featured topic. I will do some work with the page now leave me a message if you need any help. -? 00:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Gotcha. I'll check the peer review page for their points and incorporate them in any rewriting I do. --Boradis 07:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Yo, Boradis when you can please see the Task Force's talk page we need to see what will be done with Vergil and Sparda. --? 05:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I think it has all been covered, I think the work on reception will satisfy Lankybugger wen he comes back (I left him a message and he has no been here since), and a number of editors have taken up to the minor tweaks in prose, perhaps Deckiller can point out if there is something left. Dante unfortunately has been ignored once again at the peer review request page and Characters list seems to have fill up all those tweaks Deckiller wanted(yet another note on his talk page might help), I wrote a plot for the first part of the manga and I will start writting the second part of it sometime between tonight and tommorow and the anime page is probably as good as it can be until june. Now we need to do some work in Devil May Cry (series), that's about all the task forces scope. Now regarding Dante if it goes unoticed for a week or so I will put it up as FAC as soon as DMC 3 is over with it. I can't believe they just ignore the page twice. ---? 22:54, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Devil May Cry 3 nominated for Featured Article

The peer review is over and it is up for FAC, please vote and make your comments here-? 01:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Gotcha, thanks. --Boradis 05:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Characters in Devil May Cry

Hey, if you have time can you take some to edit the copy-edit part Deckiller mentioned in this page's talk page? don't worry about the thing about character influence I am working on that part, after that is dealt with the Task force will have another GA :) gee there seems to be a lot of work around these days a GAC and a FAC, oh well. As a side note what do we do with Dante's old peer review request, nobody attended it should I archive it and make a new request?-? 01:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem, will do. --Boradis 04:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
BTW, I resubmitted the peer review request, Peace. -? 05:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
    • You have a good point about the anime, In my personal list Vergil has fallen down to after the Characters list and series page, I'm even leaning towards a merger, the only way I see to create a more decent page is to add the info about the non-canon novel and the manga but that will probably not be enough. -? 05:05, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Hey Boradis do you know of a website that contains the number of DMC 3 copies sold? I found one listing its first week in Japan but nothing about America and Europe, and Lankybugger seems like he isn't satisfied yet so the Reception section needs a little expansion. -? 01:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
NPD group gathers this data, but they charge for it. I've done a little Googling, and on a side note found this interview with Kazuma Kaneko of Atlus regarding his work for companies besides Atlus. Anyhow, I found this Wikipedia page, List of best-selling video games, which lists sales figures for all the DMC games! Is that good enough? --Boradis 05:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

LOL, irony..., thanks I should really trust Wikipedia more.-? 05:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, though we're not supposed to quote Wikipedia for Wikipedia. But you can use whoever they cite to cite for us. :) --Boradis 05:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Yup I used their ref to beef reception up a little, I think some elements of the interview can be summarized and added to Development, Ah the joy of having something to do at 2:00 a.m. :) -? 06:04, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • It seems like it's time to merge Vergil's and Sparda's articles to the characters list, Deckiller it's suggesting it as part of his requirements to pass the article to Good Article, and I have reviewed them and after cleaning up they would end up shorter than even some stubs in Wikipedia. I am not really a person that looks around to merge every page that is out of shape but unfortunately these two just don't make the cut, can I expect your help to deal with what we include in the characters page summaries? --? 01:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Ok I already redirected Sparda the page was basically what I moved to the list's description and two fancruft sections one speculating about LDK and the other explaining what the sword was and how to get it, waiting on Vergil. --? 01:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
      • Thanks for the update. --Boradis 02:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Another one here, the page passed GAC, Cheers! I still haven't merged Vergil, since he is somewhat popular I will start a thread to see the opinion of other members of the Task force. On other news Lanky changed to support wich leaves us with a 6-support 1-oppose score at DMC 3's FAC, that is concensus, everything is looking up for our little TF, Peace. ---? 02:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Awesome! As for Vergil, I'm inclined to keep the page for the time being. For starters, he is a fan favorite as you said. For another, he does appear in two of the games and has a history, and a pretty clear personality. And finally, and this is pure speculation on my part, but if Vergil doesn't appear in some form in DMC4, I'll eat my hat. Which is to say I'm pretty sure he will, if you don't know that expression. --Boradis 03:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
If it stays I was considering adding the plots of the manga and non canon novel, that might be able to add enought meat to it, but let's see what other members think. As a side note your talk page is getting kind of long, have you considered creating a archive page? --? 03:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DMC 3 Manga

I will be working on adding references to the manga page, I recently wrote a plot for the two released "Codes", but I'm not really an professional plot writter so it's probably riged with grammatical errors, can you provide your expertise to help me get this article on it's way to GA? -? 23:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure. I've got and read them both, though they're kind of hard to follow. But I'll clean up the plots. --Boradis 02:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Peer review

Either way the review is over, I don't agree with his lack of refs argument, it has the exact amount found on Link's featured version. And the article is clearly out of universe. With that being said it's better to wait until DMC 3's FAC folds, then a FAC is filed and we can see what more experienced editors like Deckiller or David Fuchs think. As I said before I am not convinced that bringing article to peer review is being very effective, I will start doing what Lanky did with DMC and raise them until I see fit, then nominating them directly. --? 23:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I do have to agree with him that most of the lines he posted were indeed fancruft, and the paragraph about the Divine comedy although obvious was pretty close to being original research. I have never been a fan of adding weapon description in the character's page it's sometime better to avoid things that might be considered fancruft, with Dante there is a different standard since they are part of his personality but I'm not entirely convinced that keeping the Colt comparison is a good idea. Once that page is up as a FAC there will be a larger number of users pointing at that as always, FAC reviewers love to point their finger at minor issues but they don't always come back to review again, we should try to have the smallest ammount of these empty oppose votes that we can.-? 00:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
