Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 04:35, 14 July 2007

I discovered this website several months ago and became addicted to it. So I figured, why not create an account in it?

July 6, 2007--Last night, I reverted some vandalism. I'm so pleased with myself.

Super deformed

I am not sure if the ? in your statement means that you don't know what super deformed means or that you have no idea why I changed the link. chibi is a term that means "runty" or "shrimpy" which was mistranslated as "cute" or "little" (our own Wiki page added the words "small beauty" to chibi in Japanese for effect) and has come to mean the same thing as super deformed to a lot of American fans because of fan-fiction or fan-art of "Chibi Goku" or whatever. The correct usage in reference to genuine Japanese media is super deformed. Chibi is accurate in cases like Sailor Moon's Chibiusa because she was being mocked for her small size, but in most cases it is used inaccurately. I thought I was correcting that link, as it seemed an incorrect usage, but if "chibi" was the actual name of the item in the game (which for some reason didn't occur to me) then I was incorrect and I apologize. Examples of Japanese usage of the term super deformed (or SD) include SD Valis, Super Deformed Gundam, SD Snatcher. JohnnyMrNinja 05:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I totally see where you were coming from on that one. I guess I'm just too used to the term by now. But thinking about it, super deformed hardly sounds like a cute way to portray people. It just sounds like they were in a horrible accident. Guess that's what we get when we use an English term made up by Japanese people: confusion. JohnnyMrNinja 06:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

I think here you'll find everything you need to create a userbox.

I don't find it easy to explain. It's better for you to ask an administrator, i'm sure they'll be able to explain better than me. It's very easy, you'll see.

Re: Troublemaker

Re your message: Thanks again for helping out. =) Leaving me a note about editors who vandalize is probably not the best idea as by the time that I read it, it may be too late to do anything about it. I recommend that you read Misplaced Pages:Cleaning up vandalism that has all the procedures and guidelines you need to follow to warn and report vandals so that any administrator can take the necessary action. That way you don't have to wait for me to check my messages. -- Gogo Dodo 22:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: No, you're doing okay. =) There were a couple of other warnings issued to that editor by another editor who reverted his other vandalism. Generally, you will want to issue a new warning should the editor vandalize after he received the previous warning. It's to make sure that the vandal gets the chance to read the warning. It takes a bit of practice to be good at reverting vandalism and dealing with vandals, you're doing fine. =) -- Gogo Dodo 00:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Well...

Looks like the "problem" was taken care of as soon as you wrote. O well...we'll just have to find some more vandals =). Peace. Spartan-James 23:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
