Awesome, man. Thanks for the help. My computer can't read Japanese characters (apparently I have to buy a disk to load that feature into it), so I'm afraid I can't read that site you sent me...yet. Personally, I think you should list the Rebirth voice actors for the sake of being complete and maybe just add a note of some kind. I actually own a copy of Generations and the Pioneer DVD box sets. I've been trying to translate the kanji for their names, but kanji is my weakest area in regards to Japanese. I know that the readings for names can be different that what my kanji fast-finder would lead me to believe, so I wouldn't trust my best efforts as of right now. Thanks again, man. --DrSpengler 03:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Dude, where do you get all this voice actor info for Transformers!? It always bugged me that in the Japanese credits they only listed the most prominant characters rather than the whole cast. Even worse, the Rebirth credits and the Movie credits are the original English versions, leaving me know way to find out who voiced who. Even more annoying, as so many of the voices in Rebirth were different from Headmasters. Great that you know all this stuff. Also, seperate thingy I wanted to ask. Is there any sort of database somewhere to find out who dubbed which actors in Japanese dubs of American movies? I have both Ghostbusters I and II on Japanese DVD, but the credits are in English and I can't find any sort of cast list any where on the DVD. It's just something I'd like to figure out and you look like in expert in this arena. Thanks --DrSpengler 03:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry. I don't think we can consider anything about Transformers "non-noteable" so long as we have a webpage for Rorza, the Rocket-cycle Racer from Rigel III. --ItsWalky 03:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Evan -- I noticed in your edit summary for the Quickswitch entry that you took some text from Wikipedia. With such a small amount of text, it's not really a big deal, but I wanted to let you know that in general we don't like to take text from other sources, even Wikipedia. Their text is licensed under the GNU FDL just like ours, but we prefer original material. Of course, if you are the original author of text that appears elsewhere and you want to put it here as well, that's totally fine. And in this case, like I said, it's not that big a deal. It's probably not worth the bother to "rewrite" it. Anyway, thanks for helping out. The seiyuu stuff you've been doing today is great, as a lot of our contributors don't have expertise in that area. --Steve-o 23:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing that Techspec info & mottos are not OK or is it?

Right -- there are many sources out there already where people can look up stats and official bios, including TFU.info, which we link to for toy info for many characters. For images, we try to stick to official images only and include copyright disclaimers, but for text, we'd rather avoid copyrighted text altogether. So, no official bios. --Steve-o 02:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

C64 Question

Evan, does this go on the current Commodore 64 game page, or were you making another one (as I think there's a second C64 game)? I know the wiki was going haywire when you tried to upload this last time... --Monzo 01:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Copying stuff

Hey, did you copy the Maki Miyamae article over to wikia? --abates 22:50, 9 August 2009 (EDT)

Parts of it. Is there a way to embed the humorous YouTube vid here? Evan1975 22:58, 9 August 2009 (EDT)

Nope, we don't have that plugin installed, but you can still link to YouTube videos.

Just so you know, copying stuff between the two wikis is generally a no-no, because the CC-BY-SA license they're both run under requires any copies to credit the original authors. I'm not sure the people at wikia would be enthusiastic about including a link back to here on the page. :) --abates 23:09, 9 August 2009 (EDT)

OK. (I could've sworn I wrote the original article, but the edit history doesn't seem to support my recollection.) Evan1975 23:12, 9 August 2009 (EDT)
