Finally had a reason to sign up (images to upload). I may have deleted a new message by mistake when attempting to remove my initial, misplaced text from this page--which I thought I'd already deleted. The two photos I uploaded were taken by me and included with permission of the subjects, if anyone's wondering.--Apcog 02:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, welcome to the wiki! Thanks for us helping out for the benefit of Mankind. Or for the benefit of ourselves and other nerds on the internets. Same thing. --FFN 03:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Question
Good lord, is that some Doug Dlin I see? Assuming it is, I have a question in relation to a G1 Springer note from the Antarctic Press Cybertronian guides. There's a quote about the final toy being the fourth (or maybe third, I can't recall offhand) design. I was just curious if this originated from Transformers Generations or some other source. Thanks in advance.--MCRG 10:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- If you can actually see me, then I need to cover my screen or something, because I don't have a webcam setup. Anyway, it's been so long that I don't really remember. It might've come from Generations, but my copy vanished a few years ago and I was never able to get a replacement, so I can't check.--Apcog 14:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Took a moment to check the issue. The caption says the final toy was based on the fourth prototype design, all right. It sounds like something Harold would have contributed, though it could've come from Generations. Until/unless I get another copy, I won't know one way or the other.--Apcog 22:59, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Prince Guy
According to the dialogue script on Metrodome's Region 2 DVD set, the real name of the prince from Aerial Assault is spelled Jumal. --Monzo 02:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed? Then the entire "Aerial Assault" article was wrong. I brought the name on the character list in line with the more frequent usage in the episode summary. So much for majority rules.--Apcog 03:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- That's okay, I believed you anyway and have already changed the article to reflect it. I also figured the original author of the article was probably as ignorant of the spelling as I was.--Apcog 04:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Talk pages
Please don't delete other people's comments from talk pages. (link) --FortMax 16:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- ...the hell? I didn't delete any comments—not knowingly, anyway. I specifically added material at the bottom of that comments page in direct response to Rosicrucian. Best I can guess, you made that shorter response while I was composing mine (which was delayed by a few interruptions), and when I submitted my edit, rather than tell me the page was out of date, it overrode your comment. Sorry that happened, but it was definitely not deliberate.--Apcog 16:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Coming soon template
Coming soon templates go underneath the actual the text of the toy in question, as shown in the various Movie and Animated character articles. --FFN 21:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- D'oh! Shoulda checked, I suppose. Well, outside of that, any complaints?--Apcog 21:24, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Noise
Care to explain why you reverted the edits to Noise's article? --M Sipher 21:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wasn't intentional. When I began editing, your changes weren't present yet. When I finished and submitted, the wiki didn't give me an "out of date version" warning, but simply processed my edits as normal. I noticed that the wiki connection was really sluggish this afternoon, too. Don't know if that had anything to do with it.--Apcog 23:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphy
Well, stuff like "lion" and "dinosaur" aren't scientific names. Pteranodon is the scientific name for the genus, and should be capitalized (and italicized). Interrobang 23:30, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, so? I was going by common usage, which I thought was using the name uncapitalized. I certainly almost never see dinosaur names italicized unless they are specifically part of a scientific name, as opposed to designating the type of animal—e.g., a pteranodon vs. Pteranodon longiceps. Well, feel free to undo that aspect of my edits.--Apcog 23:44, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Spelling
Hey, after we reminded Fiction Alchemist that there are editors from the UK and the Commonwealth, and their English is just as valid as American English, I don't think it's the done thing to start taking the 'u' out of words like colour. ;) --FFN 19:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wasn't aware there'd been such a policy established. Personally, I feel that having one consistent spelling style for the wiki is a better idea. AShould I simply ignore European-style English spelling differences, then?--Apcog 20:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
