*Same as before, note that it is very unlikely that this article will get above B-class due to the lack of reliable non-biased sources available.

thread_title: [[WP:VG]] Assessment

message: I removed the paragraph in the "Voice" section that says Uka Uka (and the other characters) don't have voice actors in Crash Bash since the Internet Movie Data Base says they do have voice actors.
:I hate to break it to you, but the IMDb isn't the most reliable movie website around. A lot of the information there (which is largely unsourced) is sent in by users, aka fanboys. Look around: there is no official source citing that Crash Bash actually has voice actors. Not in the manual, not in the in-game credits, nowhere. So the only option here is that you revert your deletion and get rid of anything that says that Clancy Brown voiced Uka Uka in Crash Bash before I report you to the administrators for vandalism. Think about it. Cat's Tuxedo 22:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voice 

message: I the "Actor Portrayal" section, whenever I put in information that Clancy Brown does not voice Uka Uka in "Crash Team Racing", someone removes it. Can anyone explain why?
:Because it's not true and is therefore vandalism. Does that answer your question? Cat's Tuxedo 01:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Seems to me you've never actually played the game. Uka Uka and Aku Aku give hints to the player in Adventure Mode whenever the player wins a Trophy, aproaches a Load/Save screen for the first time, approaches a door or portal they can't go into yet, and in other places. Cat's Tuxedo 19:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Oh. Oops. My mistake. Sorry. We should therefore put down whoever did voice him. And who was that? 82.26.67.224 12:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Would whoever keeps putting in Teen Titans star please stop. John DiMaggio is more of a Futurama star
:That is correct, but the voice he used in Futurama is much different from the voice he is currently using for Uka Uka. It'd be more logical if we used a program in which he used a similar voice to Uka Uka. Cat's Tuxedo 19:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:WrathUka.JPG

message: "What the hell are you talking about?"
The personality section specifically states that Uka Uka has suffered from bulimia nervosa, a form of mental illness. Also he is quite clearly a narcissist because the personality section also states that he believes himself superior to and looks down on everyone around him. That's what I'm talking about. 86.133.200.236 18:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, but on a side note, I think the category should be renamed to 'Fictional histrionics and narcissists'; the two are pretty similar, but I think that's a discussion for another board. Cat's Tuxedo 23:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Technically, anything with a mind can have a mental disorder (such as bulimia), and anything with a personality can have a personality disorder (such as psychopathy). Cat's Tuxedo 19:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I think it was peer-reviewed a long time ago. That's how it got from a Start-class (I think) to a B-Class. However, the Doctor N.

thread_title: In response to [[User:Coconutfred73|Coconutred73]]'s query

message: I understand a concern has been raised that the article needs to provide proof that Uka Uka is psychopathic. I have the diagnostic criteria for classical psychopathy here and I must say he does fit most of them.
1. Superficial charm and average or above intelligence - I don't know about charm but he does seem to be quite intelligent as shown by him devising complex plots such as the one where he tricked Aku Aku and gained the crystals (Crash Bash) and indeed his suggestion to use the Elementals to power Cortex's doomsday device (Wrath of Cortex). 
2. Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking - seems to think fairly rationally about everything. And he certainly knows what he's doing.
3. Absence of "nervousness" or psychoneurotic manifestations - he never seems to get nervous. Angry yes but nervous, no.
4. Unreliability - I don't think you could count on a demonic spirit mask to do anything for you unless that was "be a pain in the arse" in which case he's your man, er, mask.
5. Untruthfulness and insincerity - He tricks Aku Aku in Crash Bash and he doesn't tell Cortex the full power of the Elementals in Wrath of Cortex.
6. Lack of remorse and shame - He never exhibits remorse for his actions and he's far too proud to be ashamed. He actually seems to take pleasure in his villainy.
7. Inadequately motivated antisocial behavior - Hmm. Not too sure. He wants to rule the world, I think that's a fairly adequate motivation.
8. Poor judgment and failure to learn by experience - He does lash out without thinking about the consequences like in Wrath of Cortex when he attempted to "zap" Cortex but ended up destroying the base. He does learn from his mistakes though (eventually) like replacing Cortex at least twice (N-Tranced and Titans).
9. Pathologic egocentricity and incapacity for love - There is no doubt Uka Uka does think VERY highly of himself. He looks down on everyone around him to quote the Personality section and frequently refers to himself in the third person as "the Great Uka Uka." And he doesn't seem to love anyone that we've seen except himself. On the contrary, he appears to be a misanthrope.
10. General poverty in major affective reactions - Not really. He does have a fiery temper.
11. Specific loss of insight - Bit too vague to answer.
12. Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations - I took this to mean romance. He never actually forms any interpersonal relationships. For one thing, he's far too aloof and superior, and for another, he's a possessed mask. He has no genitalia.
13. Fantastic and uninviting behavior with drink and sometimes without - He never drinks because he hasn't got a body. He does behave quite fantastically and uninvitingly without drink though. Trying to kill everyone and conquer the world seems quite fantastic and uninviting.
14. Suicide threats rarely carried out - He never contemplates suicide and I don't think he ever would kill himself. That would mean the end of the games. And for another thing he appears to be far to fond of himself to even considere suicide.
15. Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated - He doesn't have a sex life, per No. 12.
16. Failure to follow any life plan - Hmm. His life plan appears to be to enslave the universe and boss everyone in it around. Not a very good life plan but a life-plan nevertheless.
Yep. He ticks almost every box. I think it's official. He's a psycho. Oh and someone please remove that silly little notice saying the article is unencyclopedic and being considered for deletion, blah, blah, blah. --Illustrious One (talk) 21:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the person who said the deletion proposal is silly. Uka Uka is a major antagonist of a largely popular video game series. I think that perfectly constitutes an article. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 22:12, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

text: It's this one, sir: User:AnmaFinotera. But I seriously doubt the Darth Vader article will be deleted; the character has had numerous appearances and parodies outside his series (Uka Uka's never even had one), but that's for another article. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 15:05, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
