Character name order

In Episode 13 you accidentally referred to "Rei" as "Ayanami Rei". According to EvaWiki's EvaWiki:Standards and Conventions, characters are referred to using the westernized version of their names, hence "Rei Ayanami". --V 04:13, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

Also, "Angel" has to be universally spelled with a capital A, and a lot of times you've been spelled it "angel" so far. --V 04:54, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

My bad about Ayanami Rei and angel, I was doing a lot of typing and didn't have the time to be entirely thorough. Thanks for spotting those, anyway.

No problem. You can sign your name by typing --~~~~. Always sign your name on Talk pages, but never sign your name on actual articles. Btw.....what time zone do you live in? I mean it's 5 AM here but I am insane and just working on this all night. --V 05:20, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

Ach...I've got to remember that. I'm in GMT +5:30, or India time, makes it 3:00 in the afternoon here, on Sunday. --UrsusArctos 05:30, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

I added a 4th title line so 2 titles will no longer have to share the same line. I'll re-do the pages. Though V or OMF will have to tweak the info box. One title is off-line. --thewayneiac Aug. 15, 2007 22:53 EDT.

I want you to hold off on finishing up more episode synopsis write-ups for a little while, we've got some more noobies coming in and its an easy task I want to start them off on. --V 11:23, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

Image files

Thanks for loading the image files for Ramiel. I don't think the png files display right; the jpg files you loaded are working better. Need a generic pic of Ramiel for its infobox: the one used now has its energy-beam just about to fire; I think it would be better to find a pic of it not firing, as the flash in the still shot is a bit confusing. We might combine several shots of the firing sequence together to make a gif file, like we did for Zeruel's accordion arms. --V 08:30, 3 November 2007 (PDT)

Right, I'll see if I can get another one of Ramiel...will one of him flying over those telephone poles do, if I can't get another good one? I'll be back in a jiffy...--UrsusArctos 08:33, 3 November 2007 (PDT)

Individual Angel Personalities

I hadn't been planning on doing that for each Angel. Just for Armisael (Kaworu is a whole 'nother situation), then I realized Zeruel has something of a personality as well. Then for Sachiel I just wanted to point out "it reacts with puzzlement to humans attacking it as if it conceptually didn't understand this at first". I only wanted to do this for the exceptional one or two Angels who actually have a "personality". I.e. Shamshel and Ramiel are mindless, essentially, and the "battle" section covers this as well; I want to remove that from their articles. --V 08:17, 14 December 2007 (PST)

You do have a distinctive bias when it comes to the Angel mind, IMO. A lot of what you've written reeks of NPOV anthropocentristic-- Well, you get the idea. I'll eventually be taking a hard switch to all of it if no one else does. --Reichu 12:56, 16 December 2007 (PST)

Really? What's wrong with it. I was actually trying to emphasis that most *aren't* anthropomorphized but like Armisael and maybe Zeruel are exceptions, but most aren't really emotional. --V 13:26, 16 December 2007 (PST)

Excellent work

Just wanted to say your work on the project has been excellent; you're a walking example of what I consider a "good Evapedia editor" to be; would that I had 10 UrsusArtoses, I could take over the world (btw, there wouldn't happen to actually be 9 more of you? :) --V 11:15, 29 December 2007 (PST)

Redirects are a bad thing

I didn't explain this before sorry: the idea is that redirects are a bad thing. They exist mostly so that people typing things in a search bar will be redirected to a correct page. One of the lonely, thankless tasks of Teh Admins is to one by one, correct every redirect into a direct link. It's something along the lines of too many redirects eventually slows the site down, but really its just a matter of cleanliness. You don't need to worry about this at all: just please don't change "[[Evangelion Unit-01|Eva-01]]" to "[[Eva-01]]": both get displayed as just "Eva-01" so that makes no difference, and its actually supposed to be a direct link to the exact title. This is something you don't really have to worry about its grunt work that I will handle. --V 20:45, 14 January 2008 (PST)

"Fading away"?

Why in the world are you "fading away"?--V 07:27, 20 January 2008 (PST)

Stub Removal

Do you want me to remove any unnecessary stubs on pages that wouldn't require a stub? Or do you want me to leave as that? --Bee-Zerk 21:12 19 February 2008 (AEST)

You're most welcome! In fact, you're doing a great job with the spell correcting! Keep it up, Bee-Zerk! --UrsusArctos 02:15, 19 February 2008 (PST)

Holy...

Jesus Christ, man, how many hours do ya go on this site? I've just checked the Recent Changes and you've...just gone crazy! And buy that I mean, AWESOME! GREAT WORK URSUS! :D --Bee-Zerk 10:50, 23 February 2008 (AEST)

It was a long free period I had, and I edited like I'd never done in a long time. Many of those changes are minor, and the rest of the "crazy period" was because I got sysop status and went on deleting a whole lot of junk. --UrsusArctos 16:19, 22 February 2008 (PST)

Also, when you edited the Berserk page, I didn't see much of a change. Can you tell me the changes? Just curious! ;) --Bee-Zerk, 18:28, 23 February, 2008 (AEST)
