Picture upload
Hello Rowan! Would it be okay to upload these, pi cs, so that we can use it on the slider? I wanted to confirm if it's okay first. Thanks, Ryoga (talk ) 04:39, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will upload the two images. I think we need one manga scan/picture too. Ryoga (talk ) 05:18, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Rowan, what do you think of this image? I created it myself. I hardly know anything about Photoshop though :D BTW, can you delete User:Ryoga04/Featured contents, User:Ryoga04/Characters, User:Ryoga04/Slideshow, User:Ryoga04/Other featured contents, and User:Ryoga04/Main Page draft? I don't need them anymore :) Ryoga (talk ) 14:03, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for deleting them. You forgot one :) Ryoga (talk ) 14:04, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

Categorization
I know you don't want things in Category:Yokai besides characters, so I wanted to ask you where you think Fox magic should go. Weapons?-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 13:18, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Affiliate
Thank you so much, I'll upload the image right now, but I'll leave the linking to you. I will set up the link on our wiki. And thank you for responding so quickly. :)-- DarthCookie  ♣Talk♣  22:54, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Anon troubles
I was wondering if you could block 85.167.197.176. They've been making a bunch of nonsensical edits for the past week (some of which you yourself have reverted). We've seen these kind of edits before, albeit from a different IP range, but it still may be the same person that we blocked about a month ago. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 18:37, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, I understand. The first time this started happening I did just that; but what with so many different IPs doing exactly the same thing on more or less the same pages, I assumed it was the same person and figured warning the same person (most likely) a second time would be a wasted effort. But thank you for you help. Also, do you know when Serena will be returning? She has been gone for about a week, and to my recollection that isn't typical. Not that I mind per se, but I have one or two things pending on her talk page, and I'm anxious to hear back from her. I hope she isn't sick or anything.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 02:09, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. Thank you!-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 23:37, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale
The description is not showing up (see File:Kagome Episode 167.png) There seems to be some error with the template. Can you fix it? Thanks, Ryoga (talk &bull; 投稿記録 ) 11:13, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I figured it out. The preloaded template has the first letters of the fields in small letters, while the original template has them in caps. Ryoga (talk &bull; 投稿記録 ) 11:27, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Administration qualms
I have waited patiently for Serena's return, yet she has not. I was going to wait until she did before I brought this to her attention, but I can't really wait much longer. I know that you are an administrator, but given her recent absence and that your presence is only part-time, it is my belief that the wiki needs a more consistent administrator presence, as there are a variety of potential issues that might need an administrator's hand in helping. Since you aren't here every day and Serena is still gone, if pages need deleting or a vandal needs to be blocked, it is next to impossible for us to get in contact with one of you in time to resolve the issue. While there are alternatives with the volunteer anti-vanalism task force, relying on them on a consistent basis is not exactly practical. And they also can't resolve content disputes if the erupt, since this is only for local administrators to deal with. Therefore, to get to my point, I was hoping there was someway you could get in touch with Serena (as you do not have bureaucrat status) so she could hopefully give me administrative tools until she comes back for good, at which point she could take them away if she doesn't think I need them on a permanent basis. If you could relay this message to her I would be very grateful. Thank you.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 20:44, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for upgrading my user rights. We were actually in the process of voting on the issue in order to get a Wikia staff member's approval, though I guess that isn't necessary anymore.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 20:49, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Explanation
No problem! We're happy to get help where we can, but don't feel pressured. We're thinking of having a sort of "state of the wiki" conference on chat sometime soon, probably later at night (EST) to accommodate our contributors who live in Asia. Let me know if you'd be interested in that and I'll try and work out a time that would work for you too.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 21:05, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Would March 2, 22:00 (EST) work for you?-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 00:16, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hello!
i'll be on chat today, so plz join............

Learn Lesson
i promise that never upload manga scans on manga by JINIERULES 01:22, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Images
I will, thanks for telling me. There's one thing that I wanna make sure right here, since many days ago I uploaded some pictures at InuYasha Wikia, but that showed 'source' as 'dource', did you change back again? Sango 珊瑚 09:53, March 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Got it. :) Sango 珊瑚 03:44, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Image Uploads
Thanks for telling me about it. I don't know what information to put in there. I'll put information in it when I upload pictures. I'll do that,anyways, Thanks again. (InuYasha and Kagome 13:09, March 7, 2012 (UTC))

They are called Specters
In the english Dub the term specter is used on multiple occassions especially durring the band of Seven arc. Also in the english version of swords of an honorable ruler Takemaru is called a specter by Sesshomaru. Also Undead implies that they are Vampires where they are in fact zombies so Living Dead would be more accurate.MrAnonymous 20:02, March 7, 2012 (UTC)MrAnonymous

Thanks
I'll deffinately message him later.MrAnonymous 20:41, March 7, 2012 (UTC)MrAnonymous

Fanart of many characters

Re-catogorization of the wiki
Hi Rowan. I don't know if you've noticed this already, our wiki is placed under the 'Gaming' category of Wikia. It should be in the 'Entertainment' category. Can you send a mail to Wikia asking for a re-categorization. 良牙 (talk ) 13:14, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Category deletion
It was empty.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 21:03, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Triva
i put holy pearl on Character's triva by JINIERULES 11:44, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Jaki
I just redirected Jaki to Jyaki; however, why does jyaki have a 'y' to begin with? じゃき translates as 'jaki', so where along the line did it become 'jyaki'? I would make the decision myself to move it to Jaki, only I've seen it translated as 'jyaki' in english subs.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 23:32, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I just translated the kanji and that's what I came up with, but if you've got an actual source, that trumps my amateur translations as far as the wiki's legality goes. And if you don't have any objections, then, I'll redirect jyaki.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 22:20, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Main page image
Hi, I wanted to ask you about this. I wanted to use it for the slider on the main page. The one we have now for the characters (File:Inuyasha characters) isn't of very high quality, in my opinion, mostly because Jaken is a very awkward shade of green. I don't usually advocate the use of fanart, but in this case (since it's so good and it isn't in an article) I was willing to make an exception. But it is a rule, so I want to check with you first. Thanks.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 12:00, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * People upload fanart just for the heck of it one way or another, and I don't think seeing one on the main page will encourage them in anyway. As for the other thing, we don't have a defined user page or user image policy, but Wookieepedia allows up to three images for exclusive use on a user's page (If images are being used in articles, they can put as many as they want of those up, though. But as far as custom-images or images that aren't used anywhere else, just three). I think that's pretty fair, and I always go by the Wook's rules in the absence of existing guidelines, since they're pretty well thought out. So, if people want to put pictures of other animes, so long as it stays on their userpage or talk page, I don't see a problem. I myself have an image of Maze Castle from YuYu Hakusho on my talk page. Though, she has a lot more than three, so we should probably ask her to take most of them down (but only after writing the guidelines, since we technically don't have any clear rules to enforce at this point).-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 23:06, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Songs
i should write Inuyasha songs ? by JINIERULES 01:54, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Rowan, I've been thinking of creating them too. If you could create a song infobox and give us a layout or something like that (like FT Wiki or Bleach Wiki), we can create articles for all the themes/albums :) Also, would it be copyvio if we add lyrics to the page(s)? Ryoga (talk)  11:29, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Songwriter (if it's an OP/ED) and image :) Oh and is it okay to upload song snippets (of the OP/ED) to the wiki? <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#06F">Ryoga <font size="1.5">(talk)  03:36, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Btw, can you add InuYasha Answers to our list of affiliates? <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#06F">Ryoga <font size="1.5">(talk)  03:55, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Huh?
Rowan, I wonder if you keep create then delete the templates about fair use, those pictures that uploaded previously would lose the record. o.O" I saw some uploaded pictures already lost the template, that's pretty bad! Esther Siaw (Stalk me!) 04:10, March 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * I a bit forgot its name, it seemed like fair use template..."none selected" or what. But that's a little impossible to check back all the uploaded pictures. Esther Siaw (Stalk me!) 04:16, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

If you really don't remember a thing, what about this Template:Fair use rational...? O_o" Sango 珊瑚 (The demon exterminator) 03:29, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * That template...many weeks ago, you called me to use this template for the uploaded pictures, but now why it is in red colour? O.o I feel concern about this, and so I come to ask you. Sango 珊瑚 (The demon exterminator) 03:39, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Phew, giving some scare for myself...XP But it's very bad I didn't keep the link...the deleted template for uploaded pictures, gawd. Anyway, sorry for disturbing you. But if anything that relates to the templates, especially for the pictures, please inform me. (Looks like I'll having templates phobia afterwards.) Sango 珊瑚 (The demon exterminator) 04:09, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protected template
Why do we need a special template? A notification is automatically posted when you start editing, and it doesn't look very nice.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 19:42, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, no that's okay. I thought perhaps there was an important reason behind it. But if you don't mind, then, yeah, I'll take them down. :)-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 20:49, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a reminder on my page to finish adding the rest of the planned policies. BTW, I disagree with you're wish to British English. My understanding is that most wikis use non-British English. Wookieepedia being the most prominent. Wikipedia allows either one depending on the topic, so long as there is consistency. But logically, most people reading articles likely neither write in British English nor do they expect to read it necessarily. Therefore, based on population, I think it makes more sense to use North American English. That's just my attempt to use reason. As for my attempt to not use reason, it's just going to be very inconvenient for me to use British English and I would just rather do without it. Unfortunately, we seem to butt heads on these sorts of things. But perhaps, if we can't reach a consensus, we should poll the community?-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 23:12, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, so long as you're okay with it. :) I don't want you to feel pressured or anything. I'm okay with looking for a community consensus.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 01:31, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
