Other Work
okay since we're gonna add other work from the creators of HOTD into this wiki, should we add a Misc. Characters category for the characters from Fire!Fire!Fire! and Triage X so they won't get confused with characters from HOTD?

P.S. this should probably be done once the other current projects are finished.

MrPacheco101 02:19, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I think the best way to do it is to have a single page for each series with general information (possibly a separate characters page and chapters page for Triage X; similar to typical Wikipedia sereis pages). We don't need to focus too much on the other series, but we can provide some supplemental information. I've actually been thinking about starting a Triage X wiki when I have time. I can't start one for Fire Fire Fire since there are only two chapters translated that I know of. We should definitely wait until more of the projects are completed. There are around 10-15 other projects which I will begin listing when some of the others are complete, and that is one of them, so the time will come fairly soon.Turambar1  03:42, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I understand what ur saying, but i think starting a triage wiki dosne't sound like a good idea for now, i think we should put all works by the creators in this wiki for now just like the guys from Hellsing wiki do

Yeah starting the Triage X wiki is a low priority for me right now, but I'll probably do it when this wiki is more complete. As I said though, we only need a page for each series, and probably a separate page for Triage X characters. This is the HOTD wiki, after all.Turambar1  04:17, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Triage X
yo i made a page for Triage X in deadliest fiction, i want u to give me ur honest opinon on the page and tell me what you think.

http://deadliestfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Label_Organization

MrPacheco101 05:24, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

It looks pretty good. All the necessary information is there. It's cool you're putting them up against the Fraternity since I've always thought the BLO was similar to that group. By the way, what do you think about the new main page layout? I'll probably change a few things, but I need another person's opinion first. Turambar1  17:24, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

I think the layout is well organized, you put everything that needs to be there and if u put more sexy photos of the HOTD girls i think more members will come by to see the sight lol :P

P.S. thank u for ur opinion i really appreciated it. and plus The BLO vs. The Fraternity was one of those battles ive been dying to do.

MrPacheco101 23:04, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

hey FYI whenever ur ready to make th Triage X page, u can use my article to start of the character info if u want.MrPacheco101 03:47, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

All right I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to create more of the universe (locations, weapons, etc.) and author pages before I worry about the other series pages though.Turambar1  03:56, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Quotes
hey can u do me a favor? can u do the quote pages for Shizuka, Kohta, and Takashi for me whenever u have the time.MrPacheco101 04:40, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I'll get them done tomorrow sometime. HOTDcups posted the raw scans for the HOTD artbook that came with the last issue of Dragon Age, so I've been cleaning, editing, and joining those to release a higher quality version. I'm almost done, so I should have plenty of time to get stuff done here tomorrow.Turambar1  06:54, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Ello'!

Soz,i've been discharged from the hospital and all ready to start editing!

Mind telling me what fun i've been missing out on?

174.7.78.138 22:14, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

That's good to hear. I created a Current Projects page so you can go there to get an idea of what's going on. I created several templates combined in one large template for the main page. From now on, you'll have to edit one of those templates to edit the corresponding section on the main page. Just go into "source" when editing the main page to see a list of the templates.

The biggest thing going on right now is the "Universe" project which involves creating pages for all locations, weapons, events, etc. in HOTD. I haven't done much yet, but there is a page for Fujimi Academy and a few pages for guns which you can refer to.

Basically, you should check the current projects page to see everything as it's too much to describe here. I haven't done much in a couple days because I've been working on scanlations. I'm helping HOTDcups do all of the volumes starting with 6. By the way, he posted the art book if you didn't already know, and I cleaned and joined all pages. You can download it at my new blog

So that's about it for now. I'll be on a lot now since I just finished most of what I was working on. It'll be nice to have you here helping us out. It's been a lot of work, and there aren't many other editors.Turambar1  00:29, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Feliz Navidad!
Feliz Navidad ! Turambar! thanks for being such a great host to this wiki and i hope u have a great new year.

p.s. i finally found a goood song for the closing of the last episode for hotd what do u think?

thumb|left|300px|The Roots-Sacrifice

MrPacheco101 15:09, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you as well. Thank you for being pretty much the only other active editor on this wiki.

As far as rap goes, I think that song would be pretty good for the end of episode 12. Turambar1  15:56, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

No prob, any time u need anything just give me call.MrPacheco101 01:41, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Is there some kind of batch command option?
Something I realized: on the character pages in the little windows with the character brief, it would probably be better to write "Japanese" instead of "Kanji" where the character's names are, as not all the characters have names in kanji (most notably, Alice and Kohta).

Yeah, that's something I noticed when I was translating. I looked on other wikis and saw that they just put "Kanji" so I went with that. You can change it on all of the infoboxes if you want. If you do, try to change "Romanji" to "Romaji" on the boxes that haven't already been changed since that is the proper romanization.

As for the batch command, I'm assuming you mean a way to change all of them at once. That can be changed by editing the template page, but the custom character template I created isn't on all of the pages yet, and I never input specific information since different characters have different info available. If you want to wait, I'll get around to this eventually.

It's great to have you here Hotdcups. I'm glad you're joining our community. By the way, remember to sign your posts with four tildes (or just click the "Signature" button).Turambar1  14:58, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I think I fixed them all. It's certainly possible I missed one or two though.Hotdcups 07:11, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that. I'll fix any you may have missed if I come across them. I won't be able to confirm the Japanese and romanization errors though, so hopefuly you caught all of those.Turambar1  04:48, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Actually there was a problem with all the names, which was that there was a space between the last and first name. Japanese doesn't use spaces, so separating names with spaces is incorrect. I didn't notice any other errors though.Hotdcups 05:00, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Oh I guess I forgot about that when I was translating. Thanks for catching it.Turambar1  05:10, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Wow!
Hey Turumbar1, The wiki looks much better now. My PC went on a death trip and killed itself so I've had to slowly buy a new one though now i'm running 3x faster. Just letting you know I'll start editing again when I have a chance, don't blame you for starting a new Wikia though Spegx1 was a bit slack on the management side of things, Happy new year. Deathcloud 09:05, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, it's great to have you back, Deathcloud. I'm glad you like the new look of the wiki, though it's still far from complete. There were a lot of issues with the old admin that went beyond him not being around much, so the move was really the best option we had. Anyway, welcome back to the community, and Happy New Year to you as well.Turambar1  15:07, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

About the character summaries
Is it just me, or are they way too long? I know you probably want in-depth info, but it seems like a lot of them are needlessly wordy and many of the pages seem like they're way bigger than they need to be. I feel like the little details aren't all that necessary in describing situations. For example, on Saya's page, I feel like:

"Saya, Kohta, Saeko and Shizuka walk away from Onbetsu bridge and eventually meet up with Takashi and Rei, who are riding towards the bridge. Takashi tells Saeko he is glad to see her, and Saya gets angry, asking,"What about me?" The group decides to go to Shizuka's friend Rika's house, and when Saya says she wants to take a shower there, Kohta smugly says "yeah", and she kicks him. When they get to Rika's house, they encounter a group of "them", and Saya gives Takashi a crowbar to fight with."

could effectively be cut down to something like

"Saya and the others meet up with Takashi and Rei, and they decide to stay the night at Rika's house."

It just seems to me like these pages are like a full transcription of everything going on in the manga, which is probably a little much and is way too much to read. It's a summary, so it doesn't need to be written in a way that maintains every bit of information as the original. It's just the important things that matter.

I just want to know if this is the kind of thing you'd be okay with me editing down, or if you prefer the lengthy summaries.Hotdcups 07:09, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree some of them run on a little long. Our goal when we wrote them was to basically retell the story from that character's perspective, but I guess we (mostly I) got carried away with the details. If you want to edit them down, I have no problem with it as long as you leave them at least around half as long. You probably don't need to rewrite everything, but rather cut out and reword some stuff. If you could find some kind of middle ground between a brief summary of events and a meticulous retelling of the story, that would be great.

I know this is already a large undertaking, but if you find yourself wanting to do more, you could finish the summaries for Alice and Shizuka. Our other admin, Donutsonfire, was supposed to do them, but he's been mostly inactive since October. I'm assuming he's not coming back anytime soon, so I've been looking for someone else to do those summaries. It's all right if you don't want to, but it would certainly help out a lot.Turambar1  16:19, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

GOING TO JAPANNNNNN
Hello Turambar!

Sorry I couldn't get anything done over the holidays...I was too busy with a lot of other things :P!! Anyways, Happy New Year!!! LOL....Well i'll be going to Japan for the next school semester as part of an exchange program! Hopefully i can get more HOTD stuff while there! I'll be always an email away and just let me know if you want anything urgent done kk?

Hope you had a good holiday!!!

Donutsonfire XD

Well I hope you have a good time over there. I'd like to go to Japan for a while, but I won't have a chance to until I graduate. It would be great if you could find some time to start editing again while you're over there; even if it's just when new chapters are released. The momentum around here slowed down considerably when you stopped editing, and it hasn't really picked up since then. It'd be nice to have another month like last September because there's a lot that needs to be done.

I hope your holiday's been good too. The only problem I had with mine is it was about a month too short. I'm taking 18 hours next semester (the most my school will allow), so I'm kind of dreading going back.Turambar1  20:46, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Get the HOTD DVDs Donut definetly get those.MrPacheco101 04:35, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, you should definitely take advantage of that. I wish I had the opportunity to go over there and buy all the stuff I've been wanting to buy without paying $40 per order for shipping. On the other hand, it probably wouldn't be worth the travel expenses. You're lucky you're going in an exchange program.Turambar1  04:54, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I don't mean to sound like a beggar or something, but if you can find the extra items that were included with each of the HOTD manga volumes that would be awesome, because almost none of them have been scanned and they're virtually impossible to get outside of Japan. Your best bet for finding stuff like that would be in Akihabara or online. Places like Mandarake sometimes sell sets of items like that.Hotdcups 05:01, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Benelli M4 Super 90 / M1014 JSCS shotgun
Kazumi Ushiromiya 13:53, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

MAy i request for the page creation of Takeshi's new main weapon the Benelli M4 Super 90 it was featued on chapter 27 of HOTD

This the description that I made using the chapter 27 as the referrence

The Benelli M4 Super 90 / M1014 JSCS is a gas opearated, semi-automatic combat shotgun currently used by Takashi Komuro replacing his Ithaca M37, it is a bit heavier however it is more convinient when fighting hordes of "them"

for more information here is the external link of the gun

http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/it/benelli-m4-m1014-e.html

Okay I created the page. You can start adding to it if you want. The "Overview" section should be basic information and a description of its appearance. Just remember not to take too much information from sources other than the story. That means you probably shouldn't rely too much on the site you listed above. The "Summary" section should include an account of the gun's part in the story. Turambar1  05:33, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Editting
Kazumi Ushiromiya 15:58, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

I added some trivias and some info regarding in some differences in the anime and manga, I am not usre if I have the right to do so since I am not part of any staff

do not worry because I did not change the original content of the pages that I editted

Hey, thanks for your contributions. You don't have to be part of the staff to edit. Your edits look pretty good, but someone will probably go through and refine them at some point, so don't be offended if that happens. I'll be creating the page for the Benelli M4 eventually. It's only one of several guns I haven't made pages for yet.

Once again, thanks for editing and welcome to our community. <font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  17:16, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Dont worry I wont be offended if that happens since it is part of the staff's job to have a good and consistent wordings... I will look forward to help

92 Vertec
Kazumi Ushiromiya 15:48, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

requesting for the creation of Saeko's side pistol the M92 Vertec

using the reference in chaoter 27 here I came up

M92 Vertec or also known as Baretta 92 Vertec is a Double action handgun with an integral accessory rail used by the police and military as their secondary weaponry. Accquired by Saeko Busujima from Hirano Kohta as a sidearm

Note: In the scanlations i was named as M92 Vertec but as I looked at the net it is under the Beretta 92 series under the name of 92 vertec

and also you forgotten to put the page of the electric drill on the weapon list since it was used by Saya Takagi for a breif moment

Oh thanks for catching that. I'll create M92 Vertec when I get a chance. I'm working on scanlating the HOTD Secret Box booklet now, so most of my time is being spent on that. I know that gun may have a different name in real life, but we need to go by what it's called in the story. For example, there is no such gun as a Springfield M1A1 Super Match, but we have to call it that because that's what Daisuke Sato named it in the story.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  16:11, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

How can I provide pictures
Kazumi Ushiromiya 00:28, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

How can i give the pictures? I can provide the pic for Springfield M1A1 Super Match, M92 Vertec and Crowbar

Just go to Special:Uploadand add the file you want to upload. If you use images from the manga, try not to show too much of the text, or cover it up with white if you have picture editing software. If you're not sure how to do that, then I can fix them and re-upload if necessary.--<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  01:19, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

I editted the Corwbar first I am not sure if I made it right... I can give the pics later since I have much work to do

Your request
Kazumi Ushiromiya 07:33, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your appreciation... I will do my best to fulfill your request...

either way we need is the colored version... we will have to wait...

News from Japan!
Hey Turambar!

I hope things are going fine down here!

I've recently just settled in into the house where I'll be staying during my foreign studies

Anyways, I'd just like to let you know the abundance of teens here who are HOTD fans and they are truly fanatics. Yesterday, One of them took me around Akihabara and we saw various HOTD merchandise as well as other things.

Hopefully I'll get to read the next Dragon Age with HOTD in it (not the most recent one) before you guys do! Hehe. Btw congratulations on your position with Torpedo Tits! I think that way we will be able to attract much more new editors!

Anyways I'll probably spend the next week or so busy catching up my Japanese and Kanji so I won't be online too often as internets in Japan ain't cheap. After 1/20~sumthing, I'll probably be starting to help get things in line here again so expect my return!

Also, I'm thinking of starting an anime blog or joining one as one of it's writers, I'm wondering if I were to make a blog, would you be interested in writing stuff? Or we can just apply to join one of the current anime blogs to be writers. I don't plan on hanging around HOTD material after the everything is done and I'd like to explore other series as well. Seen as you're such a talented writer, surely your skills can be of great use!

Hope things here continue to run smoothly!

Donutsonfire 01:21, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Great idea on the weapon section. I don't know if it'll get too cluttered eventually as the series moves on, but it is certainly going to be helpful to explain those things to the fans. Remember, if you need any urgent stuff done, I'm always an email away.

Hey I'm glad you're having a good time there. I wish I could go there. I'm going to have a free semester after I graduate and before I start graduate school, so I'm thinking about spending a couple weeks or a month over there if I have enough money and learn Japanese well enough by then. That's cool that you'll be able to read new chapters before we do here. If you want to, we could start a spoiler page and you could post a brief description when you read the chapter. That would definitely be a good way to bring people to the wiki. It's something I've wanted to do for a while, but I can never find raws before the scanlation is released.

I may be interested in the anime blog. I'd need some more information first though such as what series would be covered, what type of article I'd be writing (discussion, review, summary, etc.), and how often I'd be contributing. It sounds like it could be fun, but I wouldn't be able to devote too much time to it. Let me know more about what you have in mind, and I'll definitely get in on it.

I hope you continue to enjoy yourself in Japan. You should totally go to a maid cafe if you get the chance.-<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  02:48, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Maid Cafe
LOL I passed by one when I went to Akihabara....recently I watched an anime called Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!!! ( literally means "class president is a maid!!!"). That really made me want to go into the Maid-cafe...but the Gundam Cafe was more demanding. Too bad i don't have a bottomless stomach...and a big enough wallet, otherwise i'd have gone to both that day... Maybe I'll go next week or during the weekend with some friends XD!

Donutsonfire 05:46, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

TAKE SOME PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDMrPacheco101 07:17, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

YOU BETCHA!!! OF COURSE I WILL!!!! LOL....I've already taken a few pictures of gundam cafe...but there weren't a lot as my bats were low. I will defs have to go againz.Donutsonfire 07:20, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

lol i didnt kno there was a gundam cafe, i bet all the waiters wre dressed as federation or zeta pilots :PMrPacheco101 07:38, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Oh there's a Gundam Cafe? I didn't know they had themes that are that specific, but I guess it is a pretty popular anime. That would be cool if you took pictures. Personally, I'd be too embarassed to take pictures; especially since I'm American and would already be out-of-place. I assume you probably fit in a lot better than I would. By the way, I'm not sure if you saw the message HOTDcups posted above, but he was asking if you could find the extra stuff that came with the volumes. If you happen to come across some of that stuff on one of your ventures to Akihabara, it would be awesome if you were able to get it and scan it if possible. It's cool if you can't as you would have to spend money, but if you're already buying it for yourself, scans would be great if you have a way of doing that where you are.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  04:38, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Lol, imagine seeing a latino like me in there now thts way out of placeMrPacheco101 04:30, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah that's the only Gundam Cafe in the world...I think...but it's an official one though. XD LOL believe it or not, gaijin (white peoplez) can be found in a wide variety of places! I don't think you'd look a bit of place...in fact, I think everyone is just too busy with their own lives XD Maybe the only people who'll notice will be the little kids and the servers @ restaurants. Hmmm...i didn't seem to see HOTDcups post above. Is he the guy from torpedo tits? LOL. Extra stuff that comes with the volumes? I haven't gone to a bookstore, but I'll be definitely buying all the volumes. It'd be great if he could tell me what the extras look like, then i'd know what i'd be looking for. Spending money for HOTD is no problem at all for me ;). Why else did you think I work my ass off here in Japan? XD. Anyways, the major issue for me would be "scanning". I'm not great at it and I'm not exactly 100% well-versed in the steps to scan manga pages. I'm sure it's not just slapping an open book onto the scanner! Also, I'd have to find a scanner, so if i manage to find those "extras", please expect it to be a bit late. :PDonutsonfire 05:47, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

they have no nicknames for latinos?MrPacheco101 22:45, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Well, to them, all the people who aren't Asian looking (as in Eastern), are considered Gaijins. They think latinos are just tanned gaijins. XDDonutsonfire 00:35, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Haha, I guess that's like most Americans not being able to tell the difference between Asian nationalities. About the "extras," I'm not really sure what he meant. I'm guessing it's whatever was included with the pre-order "special" edition of each volume. The OVA with Volume 7 would be an example, but I guess the others would be something you can actually scan. They were probably only included with a limited number of copies of each volume, so you may not find them with the actual volumes. I've seen a few things on places like ebay that could be some of the extra stuff, but I can't be sure and they're too overpriced to take the risk.

Scanning isn't all that difficult. What you said above is partly true in that you do just hold the book flat down on the scanner and scan it. However, it is prefered that you debind it first and do each page individually (I don't do this so I don't blame you if you don't want to). Then you can just send the raw scans to HOTDcups (or possibly me) for editing and translation. It probably won't be necessary, but if you find something cool that hasn't been scanlated, it would be great if you could upload the raw scans, but there's certainly no rush. If not, it's really no problem.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  01:08, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and I posted a preview of the Secret Box which has the color pages if you guys want to check that out. Go to my blog for the link.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  01:28, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

LOL I did order the Secret Box hehe...I love all the goodies it came with! Anyways if i don't manage to get anything raws scanned, I'll probs send you guys a little something! Donutsonfire 02:03, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah I forgot you said you ordered that. The stuff is pretty cool, but I'm too embarassed to actually use it since I still live with my parents. They almost never go into my room, but it would be awkward to explain why I have a pillowcase with a naked girl covered in blood and a mousepad with tits. Like I said, it's cool if you don't get any scans. It would just be bonus to what we're already doing.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  02:21, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

whats the secret box?MrPacheco101 02:56, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

It's a bundle of HOTD items including a Rei pillowcase, Saeko oppai mousepad, Saya bukkake pass case (I'm pretty sure the semen is fake), and a doujin-style anthology booklet with manga and color illustrations. You'll be able to see the anthology booklet when we finish scanlating it.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  03:05, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

I like all the items in the box except the saya bukkake pass case tht one seems ...... a little bit too far in my case, can't way to see the scanalations :)MrPacheco101 03:13, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

The extras I was referring to were that with the initial release of every volume, an exclusive illustration sheet or other similar thing is included if you buy the volume at a certan store (usually Toranoana). Volume 1-5 had simple cards with illustrations, but volume 6 had two alternate covers.Hotdcups 16:08, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm...the initial releases will be very hard to find...I guess I'll probs have a field day @ Akiba or somewhere else...gotta ask those Japanese otaku kids in my class where they get their goods...perhaps they could show me the way of the rare-manga finding. If i happen to find the initial releases, then that'll be goodDonutsonfire 23:34, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Image categorization
well since you asked ill do it for you, just givem e the instructions on how to do it.MrPacheco101 03:57, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Edit Accident
Kazumi Ushiromiya 14:41, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thak you for your concern but I dont mind if you made some changes in my edits, yes it is true that I accidentally deleted the Info box for the M92 so I created that one just to replace the one that i accidentally deleted

But knowing that infobox was the only problem I believe it is up to your perception if I done right, if not its fine with me

All right it's no problem. Editing templates can be tricky if you don't know exactly what you're doing. There's an easy way to fix it if it happens again. Just save the page and view the revision, then choose to undo the edit in the options at the top.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  06:05, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

HOTD's return
Hey, just wanted to let you know directly, although I said that HOTD probably wouldn't be in the next issue, apparently it's going to be in there along with Triage X. Cheers! Hope volume 6 isn't hurting you too bad.Hotdcups 16:31, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

That's great news. I already finished one of the color pages for volume 6 and the other won't take long, but the spread is proving to be quite difficult because I couldn't get the pages to line up right. I'm almost done though, so I'll get them to you soon.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  23:57, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
