Chris's To-Do list

Completed

To do

Sorry

I did not know that when i searched there was nothing about him. Saberconvoy

Madman Headmasters

I noticed you had asked for this at Seibertron, but it didn't seem that anybody there actually replied to your request. I asked a friend and he says when you play the first episode of Disc 1, after the opening titles sequence you get the episode title, then the episode itself. Does that help? I assume this means Madman's set is almost exactly the same is Metrodome's. --FFN 11:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Just a further note on this Chris in case you didn't catch it. I bought the Madman set and apart from properly synching up the English tracks to the two episodes that were way off, everything else is the same. Right down to other episodes' English tracks being 'slightly' off and (more annoyingly) the incorrect subs popping up in "Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!". You'd think two years would have been enough time to correct this gaffe, but there you go! --Jon T 08:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Titan Transformers comic

Do you know if any scans of the Titan Transformers comic are availiable on the Interwebs? I haven't found anything past issue 2 since Demonoid took down their tracker. --FortMax 17:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Various protected userpages

Could you delete the protected User and User Talk pages owned by the various trolls and possibly add the pages to the title blacklist? I don't really like the idea of those pages being kept around for posterity. (That rant by Walky's internet stalker on Walky's talk page is the exception to this, of course) --FortMax 20:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Crazy Idea

We've been doing stuff for the Energon cartoon called a 'Pain count' where we list stupid cliches and number how many times they happen in the episode. I've proposed doing the same thing for Beast Machines, with an idea from Walky being 'Episode jerk', where we list the character in the episode that the writers decided should be a jerk this week. I propose we do a Pain count for the japanese G1 episodes, as well as a 'Bizzarro RMT 1 dialogue' where we list particularly weird and amusing lines from the dubs. What do you think (because I think you're one of the only ones here with the DVDs...) --FFN 17:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I would totally do the RTM 1 dub stuff, but I could only do that for HM, since the MF and V DVDs don't have the dubs on 'em. But then, that involves actually having to, y'know, watch them. :) I don't think I'd be much good at doing a "pain count" for the eps, though... it doesn't seem to come through in subs the way the Energon dub stuff does. Or I'm entirely too charitable towards them. Pick one. :) - Chris McFeely 17:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, okay, amusing dub stuff is more than enough :D --FFN 17:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Head wars

Please visit the Talk:Megatron (Movie) page, read the head wars discussion, and give me your answer. Thank you. The Big Q 19:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Title blacklisting trolls

Could you add the various user and dalk pages owned by trolls and their socks to the title blacklist? That way the pages won't exist and they can't recreate them. --FortMax 20:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

thx

thank u 4 banning User:B.O.B. he kept changing my caption. American Girl 20:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Wreckage, Crosshairs-1 and 71.62.192.242

71.62.192.242 is signing his posts as Crosshairs-1. Crosshairs-1 is a user that Walky banned at the end of February:

20:56, 28 February 2008 ItsWalky (Talk | contribs) blocked Crosshairs-1 (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 3 months (account creation disabled) ‎ (Inserting false information)

His ban is not yet up, and thus he is evading it by posting without logging in. Hope this helps.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 20:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Firebomber and whatnot

Maybe you could delete the image to discourage the guy to come back with IP addresses to just revert his reverts? --Detour 10:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Chris!

It's me, Meta Lucario, from Wtw! Just saying hi!

64.13.101.210

Seems he'd rather edit war on Scourge than talk things out. Getting a little ridiculous.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 23:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

True, but aside from his stubborn attitude about the point, is there anything about the factoid per se that makes it unworthy of inclusion? I mean, maybe it'd require rephrasing, but total removal...? I'm just curious about the rationale, since the this guy isn't arguing in a fashion that seems likely to bring it up.--Apcog 00:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Monaco skin

Hi Chris -- I posted on the Community portal last week about moving this wiki over to the new Monaco skin. It's had some discussion, but nothing so far from the admins. What do you think? -- Danny<staff /> (talk) 19:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm spamming

Canvassing a few talkpages here so we can get folks to weigh in and finalize the potential Wiki image policy. Your input would be appreciated at Transformers Wiki talk:Images.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 18:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppet again.

Guess who?--Rosicrucian ^Talk 14:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

God bless you, McFeely.

Thanks for semiprotecting the pages that got the template spammed onto them.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 22:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

With new Animated episodes SO very close here in the UK, my window-for-being-spoiled is rapidly decreasing, and I'm growing exponentially enraged every time someone tries to chuck a brick through it. - Chris McFeely 22:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I dunno about you, but certain users are starting to really rub me the wrong way with the constant edit warring on the Animated cast page and the constant calling us "hypocrites" when we don't let them add the maximum amount of their Dubai-leaked info to the page. It's like now that we've set limits on what can appear there, they're bound and determined to do the letter of the law so they can still look like savvy experts for having seen the leaked episodes.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 14:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Episode scripts?

Hey McFeely, did "Starscream's Ghost" get an episode script on your Earth 2 DVD's? Any chance i could get a copy of it? (I want to speculatively waterboard it and see if it yields up anything useful.)

And aw crap, I just realized that glass of water I spelled completely soaked a 25 year old Transformers book! ...oh well, that one sucked anyway. -Derik 16:29, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

It did, but it's useless - while it is an original Sunbow document, it's only a dialogue transcription made from the finished episode, rather than a shooting script. - Chris McFeely 16:45, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Dialog may be adequate for my purposes, or at least interesting to compare to if you have it. -Derik 20:36, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

Where is thy sting

Not to tell you how to do your job, but you may want to apply some level of protection toward Ultra Magnus and Shockwave...what the hell is wrong with this show? Episodes are shown early, they're shown late. I just don't get it. -- SFH 18:33, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Good point! *does so* In this instance, I believe it was stolen from the depths Cartoon Network's website, or something? It hasn't aired anywhere in the world, certainly. - Chris McFeely 18:47, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Cartoon Network hosted it on their site early, those morons at 4chan found it and leaked it. At least, that's the claim of someone on the oh-so-trustworthy TFW2005, who graciously advertised the leak on the front page. Antimatter 21:49, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

I'm guessing they uploaded it to the site, and someone just noodled around guessing filenames until- "Hey, there're the FLV's!"

(There are really BASIC precautions you can take to prevent that. Wasn't done.) -Derik 20:35, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

Rubsign

Check, THEN revert, yes? - SanityOrMadness 16:03, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

Beg pardon, you're quite right. I looked at the wrong scene. - Chris McFeely 16:04, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

Transformers Animated Comic

I know it only appears not in the Transformers Universe comic, but it's still clearly a continuation of the original UK comic, so shouldn't it get its own page? I spent ages working out its code. Harley Quinn hyenaholic 08:51, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

We could give the story it's own page. Indeed, giving all of the new UK magazine's stories articles of their own, then linking back to a page for the issue of magazine itself where all the rest of the issue's content (reprints, letters, features) is discussed, is something that's been half-heartedly tossed around once or twice before. But it hasn't been settled on, and needs discussion, so just diving straight in without talking about it first was not the best way to go. We'll need to change all the other pages to match the style. Plus we certainly wouldn't move it to "Animated Comic issue 4", which doesn't exist. - Chris McFeely 08:57, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

Fair enough. *sighs* Just understand I do want to contribute. But since the 'issue' information was already written (I get mine about two months late) the only thing I could do was make the pages, which I did to the best of my ability. I was going to do #5 too, up until #4 was deleted. Harley Quinn hyenaholic 09:08, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

Believe me, we appreciate the enthusiasm! And this might be something that still merits doing, we just need to have a bit more discussion about it. CharlesRB has worked super-hard updating the wiki with info from the UK comic every month as soon as it comes out, so I think he ought to weigh in on a decision that'll mean a lot of his work will need breaking up and redistributing. - Chris McFeely 09:10, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

Perhap it could be called "Transformers Animated: Pullout". After all, that's what the fourth one had added to the title, and there's no title page for the fifth one. And they did advertise a new Animated strip for next month, even though Afterburn's story is all over (the Autobot base). They probably quit the individual comic because it was cheaper to compile it all in one comic than distribute two. Harley Quinn hyenaholic 09:23, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

I should think we'd just call it "Divebomb (story)" or "Divebomb (Animated comic)" or somesuch. - Chris McFeely 09:38, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

At the very least, the navigation can be improved to be able to click through the Animated comics. I was thinking of using the "series2" tag of the "comicnav" template. I can do that. - Starfield 10:41, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

I've been wondering if there should be a "Magnav" customized for magazine issue needs that matches the Comicstory template better for visual consistency. --Jeysie 20:39, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

Official Friends with Wookieepedia

Hey, this is Graestan, Wookieepedia bureaucrat. I can't seem to find much about this site's history and so forth on my own, so I was wondering if you could clue me in some. Who founded it, and when did you split from Wikia? Anything would be quite helpful. Thanks. 70.230.183.73 18:05, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

Well you have to think of it in two phases. The founder of the Wikia wiki doesn't edit here (or there) anymore. He was bureaucrat, and essentially abandoned the thing half done. Wikia eventually gave the bureaucrat title to the people who were actually getting the site up to snuff. That was Walky and Suki. The leaving decision is a bit complex to give right here on the talkpage, so I might recommend here or in condensed bullet-point form here. After that, the wiki was hosted on the same servers as Blank Label Comics, where Walky's webcomic is hosted. After server uptime issues recently, we are in preparation for moving to a dedicated server. We have been able to cover hosting pretty much entirely off of the Project Wonderful ads so far, from what I've been told, and as you can see we don't have to run them in the article space like Wikia does.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 18:13, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

Anything like dates for the actual events and so forth? I don't want to sift through; I'm just writing a short summary for the OFW page. 70.230.183.73 18:17, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

That I'm afraid I don't have. Walky would probably be the best to hit up for that.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 18:27, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

Well, I don't know when the site was founded, honestly. And I don't know that there's a precise date for it, but the site really "came to life", as it were, in March 2006. We split from Wikia and moved here on September 15th 2008.- Chris McFeely 18:38, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

Victory Clip Show

(16/5/09) Hi Chris! Here is the Victory Clip show episode you wanted: https://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=U0d4SlI5NmNIcWVGa1E9PQ

As I said, it's just a retelling of the last "real" episode of Victory, with stock footage of the Masterforce characters interacting with the Victory cast. It comes from the Pioneer release of the Victory DVD in japan in 2003, and I got it from yesasia for a ridiculous amount of money! (This was before TF:V got released in the UK)

PS: I was the voice of Galaxy Shuttle in the tfcog fandub of Victory from ages ago!

All the very best

Rory

I bow to you, sir! If you ever have the time or inclination, I beg you to repeat this epic feat with the other five clip shows from the end of the series! - Chris McFeely 05:40, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

If I have a spare moment, I will definatley upload the other clip shows! - Rory 17/5/09

TF: Victory Episode #40

https://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&send_id=689368810&email=87b98fed1292536802dffee71b2431ee

Rory Again! Here is episode #40 of Victory. Bizzarely, Episode #39 is not on the Japanese DVD and goes straight into Episode #40 after #38. Maybe I should scan the booklet, that comes with this boxset, and get someone to translate it (This will probably explain the absence).

Let's Say Go!

Rory 19/5/09

PS: Here's ep 41
