I have 3 things to say: Kudos, Kudos, and Kudos. You've been doing a heck of alot of work on here, I've never seen this place so active, and it's generally you and Sake Neko. Thanks for all the work here, I'm starting to feel outclassed. If you need any help, I'll help(have no life, so I'm on here almost daily). Good luck!Moogle Buddy 19:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Well,thank you very much.Though you're the one who really deserves the praise.I was really[and somehow] inspired by you to work on this Wiki, with your many contributions. Also,the state of the Wiki,after 2+ years of being online,really was poor in quality.So,I decided to help. Thanks again, Moogle Buddy!

Thanks for the help
I can tell It's been instrumental in keeping this wiki going.

I wanted to discuss gallerys with you though; I agree that having the pictures placed in and around the actual article is good, but I think the gallerys are still viable as they organize all that characters images in one place, and so i dont see a reason to not have the gallerys, but I would very much like to hear what you have to say.

Quick thought
I noticed when you touch up Dynasty Warriors you use the same format for horse combat as in Samurai Warriors. I think it's a little redundant to list their charges after every square as unlike in Samurai Warriors they don't change pending on the previous attack, a charge attack is a charge attack, a normal attack is a normal attack. Just something thought I'd mention, I thought it would be better to simply list in this format (using Ma Chao as example)


 * swings quickly to the right side of the horse
 * undefined: Spins spear overhead making a shockwave
 * A faster version of, ends with the same attack as undefined

Just my 2 cents, and thanks for all the work here.Moogle Buddy 00:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I started using that format a few days ago, and you're right, it is/was a little repetitive. Thanks for the tip, though! GreatPanda 19:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Gallery
Please tell me why we need to see the same image twice in the same article. Sake neko 00:56, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

If you didn't read it on this talk page before, Dabigbozz and I were discussing the usefulness of a gallery. Having pictures throughout an article(including the infobox) is good, but "gallerys are still viable as they organize all that characters images in one place". For usefulness and practicality; So viewers of the Wiki can see all the images in a single place, instead of having to scroll up and down to see different images.

 * What I'm trying to say is that it's already this wikia's policy to feature the characters' newest manifestations in their respective series. So why should we repeat the same illustration for the gallery since their newest appearance is already the first picture of the character? That's what I was originally asking. It's just blatantly redundant. Sake neko 01:07, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

I already answered that. So people can browse through all of one character's pictures in one compact space. It's for convenience. It's not "blatantly redundant" at all - It would be redundant if we used an image fourteen times in an article. There's the image at the top and bottom of a page. People will have to scroll through down a good amount before they reach that second view. GreatPanda 01:23, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess so. I personally do not agree with this view since I believe a gallery is better used to archive all of the character's previous appearances. However, I won't erase the dw6 images in the gallery section anymore. I apologize if I personally offended you in any way. Sake neko 01:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, nothing you have said offended me at all. Just a simple disagreement. Perhaps the next time an Admin gets on, he or she could help resolve the issue. GreatPanda 01:45, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
