Stop

We include the foreign titles so as to make the foreign spellings available. We strive to be as informative as possible and whether the foriegn words translate the same as the English titles is immaterial. We want that info present. So please stop removing information from the pages. If it upsets you that much, then let a discussion actually progress in the talk pages first, before going on a massive info-deleting spree. --DrSpengler 01:28, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

I thought I was following the example set on the Revenge of the Fallen talk page. There, Walky had stated that foreign titles shouldn't be listed if they were simply a direct translation. I thought that was the consensus and was simply trying to catch examples that had fallen through the cracks. Apparently I was wrong, and I apologize for acting prematurely. Perhaps it is time to examine this policy. I will, of course, follow any decision made. Khajidha 14:28, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

Primes

Dear Khajidha, I believe you have made an error in your statement "(→Notes: Nexus prime is one of the 13, not the lineage of primes (matrix bearers))". Right here on tfwiki.net you will find the following statements: "They were the first Transformers, and all Primes..... In an answer in October 2009's Q&A Hasbro indicated that only seven of the 13 were Primes." This clearly suggests that since Forest Lee had claimed Nexus to be a Prime and that there exists exactly seven "spirit guides" and that these must therefore be the seven aforesaid Primes, THEN Nexus Prime must be one of these seven "spirit guide" Primes. Can you disprove this by logic? Sincerely, P.C. -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deszarasu (talk • contribs). 00:31, 2 August 2010 (EDT)

The spirit guides from Five Faces of Darkness are seven holders of the Matrix of Leadership before Rodimus Prime. The fact that there are seven of them is a simple coincidence with the "seven of the [original] 13" were Primes. Of the original 13 we have Primon/Alpha Prime, Megatronus Prime/The Fallen, Vector Prime, and Nexus Prime. Only Primon is also one of the Spirit Guides, as he was also the first Matrix bearer. --Khajidha 09:58, 2 August 2010 (EDT)

Thanks

Merci on the spelling fix in my sandbox. JW 12:02, 5 August 2010 (EDT)

Megatron (Myth)

I am sorry, but I would like to post the fact the G1 Megatron would have named himself after the Preacon who named himself after the G1 Megatron. Is their a neater way you would prefer me to write it as, you said it was poorly written. LordDalek 10:47, 2 September 2010 (EDT)

Transformers 3

I did have a source for that, I just forgot where it was. It was revealed on TFW2005.com that on set, a pole with Megatron's head and a pole with Soundwave's head was found on set. Also, on the same website, Starscream's fate was revealed, so he must be in the movie. (I shall not reveal the fate unless asked.)LordDalek 19:54, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Set leaks from TFW2005 do not count as official information. Neither does some website about caps talking about what they heard happens. --Detour 20:45, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

You know, the film crew just confirmed he will be in it and what he turns into. Just saying. Please don't try to kill me Detour. I know you a reading this.LordDalek 17:36, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

Megatron comment

You know, I kinda thought that Kibble comment that person wrote on 2007 Megatron's leader class toy caption was kinda funny. It is true, he does have a lot of kibble. Why did you delete that? Was it because of the grammer?LordDalek 17:41, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

The anonymous editor has not built a record of useful edits, policy is to revert. Also wasn't funny. --Khajidha 18:41, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

Whatever. I liked it, you didn't. Lets just leave it the way it is without a caption comment.LordDalek 11:39, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

Scoop Bastard

Why can't I remove just that one tag? I said one thing that Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave are going to be in transformers 3 and I am automatically a scoop bastard because of one thing? So what their heads were seen on set! Who cares. Not to mention the fact that the actual wikipedia says they are in DOTM, so are you going to call them scoop bastards too? I have never done anything else and because of one thing one user doesn't like I am now a scoop bastard? What kind of crap is this? I am not removing the sign your posts thing or the spelling thing, just the thing that says I "stole" information.LordDalek 14:23, 31 October 2010 (EDT)

You posted unverified information, that means you earned the scoop tag. The term "scoopbastard" may be unfortunate, but that is the name of the tag. What Wikipedia says is irrelevant. No official notice of them being in the movie had been released as of the time you added the information and the tag was added to your page. --Khajidha 14:29, 31 October 2010 (EDT)

So, I will just have to deal with it. Ok. Look, I can tell i have been getting on your nerves recently. I would just want to apologize for that. It's been a stressful week.LordDalek 11:40, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

Just make sure to keep the advice in mind in the future. After a long while (say, this time next year) you can move all of this old stuff to an archive page linked to your talk page. --Khajidha 12:32, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

OK, Thanks for the help. Sorry for the trouble.LordDalek 11:31, 3 November 2010 (EDT)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

At least they came to the correct conclusion. People CAN agree without being the same person, even if others don't like what they agree on. --Khajidha 10:51, 23 January 2011 (EST)

Good

now i'm A-1, thanks

--Metroplex 16:58, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

Still pretty confused

I read the disambig but am kind of in the dark. How many pages should be in a category before it is needed? I thought 2 was minimum, I get if it's a higher number but I'm wondering if the guideline's written somewhere so I can be consistant and know what to look for prior to creating anymore.

I'm also not sure why Sumdac should redirect to Isaac Sumdac rather than Sari or being a disambig for the two. Couldn't either of them be referred to like this? Plus "Sari" redirects to Sari Sumdac yet the redirect from Isaac to Isaac Sumdac isn't allowed? I guess I'm not sure, it's like the dad's never called by his given name nor Sari by her surname, very confusing. Ty 01:17, 31 May 2011 (EDT)

Categories generally require at least 7 members. Disambiguation pages are only created when there are at least 3 items with the same name. When there are just two, the unmodified name should redirect to one of them. Since "Sumdac" is used for Isaac most often, it redirects to him. Since there are no other "Isaac's", typing Isaac into the search box will automatically bring him up in the list. The "Sari Sumdac" page was created as "Sari" and later moved, leaving a redirect behind. It probably could be deleted, I'll make the recommendation.--Khajidha 06:04, 31 May 2011 (EDT)

Re: HOF

I based the inclusion on the toys shown at the Hall of Fame. Check them out here. I'm still waiting on the tribute videos to go online to see if Hasbro counts Cybertron Soundwave. Alientraveller 12:37, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

I think you're putting a little too much emphasis on which toys were used for these rather random displays. For example, no RID Prime or Megatron is present in the displays but Hasbro said that no version of OP or Megs was eligible for the fan votes as they were automatically inducted as part of the first class. Similar language was used to exclude any version of Ironhide etc in this year's voting. --Khajidha 12:47, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

I doubt they were that random. I don't think Hasbro considers Energon Ironhide the same character because he's a kid-appeal character as opposed to Optimus's gruff right-hand bot. That's why I'm waiting on the videos for a final check: we used the videos to determine which pages went into the category last year and mentioned the odd exception (the RID versions in their notes).

Username Origin

(Original section title: Uh...) Where'd you get your name from? --Kaon Prisoner 21:44, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

It was the magic word used by the Silver Age Blue Beetle. I think I may have misspelled it, though. --Khajidha 06:40, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

I think you've got it right— that's how they spell it in the Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) comics (which are excellent), although I believe they put a space or a hyphen or somesuch in the middle. Nice username, strong approval, etc. --Bobcat2022 23:13, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

Just to be a completist (I'm in the right place for that, yes?) I looked it up, and officially nowadays there's no second H ("da" instead of "dha"). Close enough for government work, though. --Bobcat2022 23:17, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, I think it's varied all over the place over the years. I've seen "kaji dha", "khaji da" and "khaji dha". I just kind of went with what looked coolest to me. --Khajidha 00:48, 11 July 2011 (EDT)

Gaea

Sorry about that. I didn't see that the note was a recent addition, and thought it was meant to be there.192.249.47.165 18:04, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

Brawl

While I agree that the entire script should not appear in the quotes section, what is there is far from approaching that.

Furthermore, I feel that the quotes I added are significant & add to the section since: 1) One shows a recurring theme of Spike's romantic interests and 2) The other is an rather adult quote for a kids show, much more deserving of the higher PG rating than the "bloody" comment. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of the reason it got that rating.

I didn't randomly pick these, and put some thought into it. I would argue that there are other quotes that add less to the section, but more importantly, the section is not so big that it would constitute the "entire script". Other episodes have larger quote sections with many more superficial quotes.

1)The recurring theme of Spike's romances is better handled as a note than a quote. 2)I think you are rather reaching for your adult interpretation. 3)We have been having discussions here about reducing quote sections. --Khajidha 06:53, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

About the quote, Wise has said in an interview (I think the same one that said that Dion died) the visual with the screw was intentional, so I wouldn't be surprised about the quote. But that too would be better for a note than quote. Geewunling 07:24, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

Interesting, Geewunling. I meant to mention earlier that part of why I had said what I said about the "entire script" was that (at least) one of the quotes that Brawl added was a continuation of a quote that was already there. --Khajidha 12:30, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

God bless you for correcting people's use of "comprised". Srsly. JW 12:48, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

Fair enough, but why remove the Brave homage that I thought should be pointed out? <=I

Mainly because I didn't notice that you had added something, I just took the page back to how it had been before you changed English variants. Looking back at it, I don't mind if that is re-added. --Khajidha 11:15, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

G. I. Joe

Which articles are you talking about?

The bit about the first Joe / TF crossover came from digging out my copy of issue #2 and updating Hawk's profile.

For the individual Joes, every time I touch the flavor text on an article it either comes straight from the file cards (what we TF fans know as tech specs) or from an official source such as the Order of Battle series. Ironhold 17:26, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

I was asking about the individual characters. GI Joe file cards and the Order of Battle series are valid sources for a GI Joe wiki, but not for a Transformers one as they are not TF fiction. GI Joe-only fiction cannot be used as a source here. --Khajidha 18:41, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

I've been creating Joe articles for a year now (give or take), in each case using the material to help do the flavor text, and with one or two exceptions no one's said anything before now. In fact, I'm the guy who created the articles on Joes like Wild Bill, Mutt, and Dial-Tone. Ironhold 08:49, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

Darkwing

Uh, the reason I did that was because the note was stretching out and covering part of the pic. (At least that's what happens on my screen.....) --81.164.215.61 12:00, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

On my screen, your version left great heaping gobs of white space while the previous version had a broken note template. Perhaps we should let someone else weigh in on this. --Khajidha 12:08, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Fish/Pelycosaur

First off, please don't interpret this as an argument, 'cause I know I'm not as familiar with pelycosaurs as I'd like to be, and I'm just curious here.

Regarding your edit to Dinosaur (dinosaur), you basically said that pelycosaur is to dinosaur as fish is to human, rather than dolphin is to human. I'm kind of confused about that, since aren't pelycosaurs and dinosaurs at least part of the same class Reptilia, while fish would be a totally different class? Or is this a timescale thing?192.249.47.177 18:02, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Pelycosaurs are not part of Reptilia as currently defined. Pelycosaurs and mammals are both part of Synapsida. It was not meant as a straightforward comparison, but rather a rough indication of the genetic distance between the two groups. Saying that a human is a fish is actually a more valid comparison, as mammals derive from groups commonly considered "fish" while neither dinosaurs nor pelycosaurs derived from the other. --Khajidha 18:28, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Shattered Glass Wreck-Gar

"Do some actual work"? This isn't a bloody office job, you know. We're doing this in our spare time, and this site isn't supposed to be taken all that seriously, in case you hadn't noticed. I don't see what the problem is. You've said "policy is to revert" if the user hasn't done much else, but I had a look at the policies and I didn't see that. Besides, isn't inserting a vaguely relevant movie quote appropriate for a page about a character who speaks entirely in quotes? There was even a setup line there that I only had to tweak a little bit. How is that hurting the article? --Magnus Prime, 17 May 2012

Yes, we are doing it in our spare time. BUT, there is a point to this website: it is a source of information about the Transformers brand and all of its components. If you are here to add to that, do so. If you are here just to show that you are funny, we're not interested. While the page is called Transformers Wiki:Caption, it has always been interpreted as applying to ALL humor here. Also, you may notice that someone else had reverted your changes the first time you made them. --Khajidha 07:18, 17 May 2012 (EDT)

Alright, you win. --Magnus Prime, 17 May 2012

Sentient

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the only correct pronunciation of "sentient" is so that it rhymes with "patient". What source are you using that approves of "sen-tee-ent"? JW 22:09, 20 July 2012 (EDT)

Both are given at Macmillan Dictionary, Oxford Learners Dictionary and Merriam-Webster. --Khajidha 22:42, 20 July 2012 (EDT)

About Kup

My joke was a lot better than "I don't even like ice cream!" What does that joke have to do with Kup? Nothing.

"________ callrd, he wants his ________ back" is not a good joke. Neither is "Not _______". Or any of the other things you tried. That's why you were reverted by several other people as well. The main point though, is that adding captions is a privilege that must be earned by making actual edits that add to the information available from this wiki. We don't exist just to make jokes, you know. --Khajidha 20:30, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

Re: Springer Edits

I wasn't being sexist about Arcee. I was suggesting that Rodimus (or the show) was being sexist about Arcee. But be honest; between G1 Arcee, Grimlock (ANY continuity) and G1 Springer, who would you choose? But while Springer certainly didn't want Roddy to die, his attitude towards getting the Matrix seemed to be a combination of "I don't want to be leader" and "Rodimus must be delirious to pick me".

You're talking about the Hasbro versions. The part you edited was about the Takara versions, and the character pages say the clear Takara versions are variants, not exclusives. --Flicky1991 10:43, 7 February 2013 (EST)

Oh. I must have gotten confused. I'll fix it, if you haven't already. --Khajidha 10:58, 7 February 2013 (EST)

Your Revenge of Bruticus edit

I'm confused as to the intent of this edit. Your edit reason is about something being too much speculation, and about confusing "implicit" with "explicit", but all the actual edit did was just restore a note I removed. --flicky1991 15:00, 14 August 2013 (EDT)

Cerebros disambiguation

Sorry about that. I meant to link to the Wikipedia article for the X-Men computer Cerebro. Which I wanted to get another opinion on, do you suppose it would be useful for this wiki? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:07, 21 July 2015 (EDT)

Probably not directly helpful. The cerebrum one can probably stay, as it is the source of the name and is somewhat funny, but an X-Men reference is probably a little too much. You might could add a joke of some sort based on it to one of the character pages, but I am not in a position to give you permission to do so. --Khajidha (talk) 18:10, 21 July 2015 (EDT)
