replies: text: Thank you so much. The reason I ask is, the character was based on my Wife, and since her hit-and-run I couldn't find the character's name. Domo arigato. Chris 22:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bounty board challenge 

message: from the fact that there was an isolated ref link it looks like their used to be a section for listing the languages Megatokyo has been translated into but has since been removed.  Some more info should probably be added about the translation languages. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 23:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  translations 

message: I disagree with the modification in the character subsection removing the links and simply routing the character pages all to the bulk megatokyo characters page. I find that for a person who is unaquainted with megatokyo it would be much more dificult to look down to that subsection then have to find that particular character on the bulk page. Linking through the seperate characters subsections and using the template as a navigator bar was much simpler and overall better system for navigating through the character pages Vcelloho 00:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character 

message: Do people feal that this article is ready to be put up for featured article status? I think it is and if others think that it is this article should be put back up for Featured Article Submission. Vcelloho 16:48, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it could make it through FA. Personally, I'd like to see the plot beefed up, but that'd probably kill its FA chances. >_< --maru   (talk)  contribs 17:59, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Who will work on the objections? For Megatokyo to pass, someone must address all objections during the FA trail.--Kiba 01:45, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Featured Article 

message: The "Criticism and praise" section is absolutely filled with weasel words. There is only one source cited in the entire thing, with the rest being a pile of opinions given form with what amounts to quotes from Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words. Something needs to be done about it if this article is going to be suggested for FA.

replies: text: Considering the the section of the article itself is subjective in nature(speaking about an audience's reception), I'm not sure what the issue is, aside from lack of sources.--Vercalos 07:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weasel words in "Criticism and praise" 

message: http://www.websnark.com/archives/2004/08/you_had_me_and.html  this artilce could be used to answer a great deal of the missing citations in the Reception Section. However it has been cited once putting mulitpule links to the same page seems silly and adding aditional links to this citation will mess up the numbering system. How should this best be cited?Vcelloho 20:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations 

message: *I understand why the characters subsection was removed however I tend to disagree with simply merging the characters into the plot section. I would opt for a character set up as seen with Calvin and Hobbes or The Adventures of Tintin both of which I wish to point out are former featured articles.Vcelloho. Also with the new set up the Character navigation bar becomes very unhelpful. 01:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally think the article reads just fine as it is, with the small exception of the template. The character sections from the major characters article are both too long and too redundant (with the rest of the article being the way it is) to simple copy and paste. To put them in this article would mean large amounts of editing and size reduction, and since they give you a fine amount of information as it is it would be a shame to simply shave it away. The characters all have basic outlines in the Plot section as it is, and that, to me, is enough. Although, I do think that a more streamlined way of reaching the character articles could and should be found. JimmyBlackwing 03:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Character Modification

message: In order to get Megatokyo to FA status Alternate Universes and Omake Theatre in Megatokyo this page definantly needs some work. users may want to look over the character pages to improve them so that the support articles surrounding Megatokyo are sound. Vcelloho 02:25, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Alternate Universes and Omake Theatre in Megatokyo needs work

message: Someone sugessted a merge in the characters section which I am personally against. I left a note here to let users know as the character talk pages are used fairly infrequently. Vcelloho 01:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Someone Suggested a Merge

message: The need to transcript excerpts literally is excusable when we are dealing with sentences that may sound odd but are indeed intended to be that way, like when one says something that contradicts another thing said earlier for example.
To take a certain passage and not correct the eventual misspellings or grammatical errors, placing sic instead, is considered rude in jornalistic practice. It is something only used when there's a clear intention to attack and embarrass the original messenger. I don't believe that is the case here, so I am editing the part where Rodney said "than" instead of "then".RPin 22:04, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're going to change the words to their actual meaning then you have you put brackets around the change. Ex: "Easier said then done." ? "Easier said [than] done." --SeizureDog 18:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The use of sic 

message: I'm confused, the cover obviously shows it being all lower-case, but the capitalized version is obviously how people tend to refer to it. But then again, the double cap is used in the websites namespace. Exactly what is the "official" version? --SeizureDog 05:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll also note that it seems to be refered to uncapped in the news postings. --SeizureDog 05:40, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Book 3 consistently capitalizes it "Megatokyo" in the dedication and Piro's rants. Nifboy 06:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  officially, the trademark on megatokyo does not specify case. megatokyo (all lower case) and Megatokyo (capitalized only once) are the ones most often used 'officially'. Personally, Megatokyo would be the correct proper noun usage, if you ask me. the all lower case version tends to be the author's use of lowercase as an affectation of humility.

text: after a discussion with the author today, Megatokyo is the preferred usage in most cases. Please use this form.Cortana 18:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, sounds good. Just wanted to clear that up since the usage is pretty inconsistent. --SeizureDog 10:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
