Talk:Death Note Wiki

Could you please add a link to the Death Note article on Fan History somewhere on your wiki? :) Thanks. --PurplePopple 14:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I found this: Jen-Jen Yukayami - This appears to be a fan character. Do we allow this on here? WhisperToMe 17:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it's just my computer or what, but I am having trouble viewing the main page, things are overlapping. Does anyone else have this problem? Acacia Akiyama 16:14, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

 * I would suggest onemanga.com for rereading the series. Please do not use the discussion page for chatting about death note, it is used to discuss the articles and any changes needed, not how much you like the subject. Thanks. Acacia Akiyama 13:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Death Note music question?
Important question - about an unknown Death Note song.

At 3:35 in this clip from L's Successors:

Relight 2: L's Successors uses a song that no one can seem to identify. I'd appreciate some help finding it, if anyone knows. Thank you!!

Question about the rules
Okay, so, a user of a Death Note may control a victim before they die, yes?

So, in theory, could a Death Note user, say, control a victim for the rest of their lifespan by writing some feasible time of death(about several years later, perhaps?not necessary, but possible) by writing "{insert name here} will serve {insert user's name here} until {insert time and cause of death here}" ?

Anyone Agree With Me? (there may be some spoilers in here)
Is it just me or, in the manga, did Raito grow increasingly more stupid in his plans the minute his "raid" of Mello's headquarters was botched? I believe that plan was the death knell for him. After that, his fall was inevitable. The only way he could have won to begin with was to kill Mello and Near before they had a chance to collaborate. He should have easily foreseen a collaboration; at that point, he could already safely assume that Mello did not want to take over the world but rather catch Kira; and to catch Kira, cooperation with other pursuers would be requisite at some point in time. This raid was the best opportunity to rid of Mello before any ill could unfold; taking out Near from there would be far easier, and Near would be leaning too much on assumption and too little on fact. However, since Raito botched his opportunity by botching his plan, he failed in the end.

First of all, the plan to raid the headquarters was incredibly flawed. It relied entirely on the ability of one of the NPA members to use the Shinigami eyes in accordance with his will. That is, it relied on the hope that the NPA members could be as cool and calculating as Raito and could end up using the eyes without hesitation. If that failed, it then depended on the other members to be able to shoot without hesitation. As police, however, the members were trained and obliged to go through the same old police procedures of warning a convict and attempting an apprehension rather than shooting instantly--especially since their captain was trying to coax a surrender from Mello, not secure a death.

Therefore, Raito's plan sucked. Terribly. And this was all due to the fact that he assumed that others could be as impassive and Machiavellian as he, for in the end he thought he was justice, and thus that most people could be made to agree with him, his morals, and his way of thinking. Thus the fatal flaw, as always: HUBRIS.

Because of his hubris, he botched a vital plan, and after that it became perfectly clear to Near that the second L was Kira...it only become a matter of time and evidence to convince everyone else of the same and to put Raito in that last, inescapable corner, where his doom was destined to take place as if it had been measured out to its most minute millimeter by the Parcae themselves.

You are right. After L's death it appeared the Raito just grew to cocky. He no longer had anyone, at least in his eyes, that was an equal to keep him in check.

Background picture
I recently found this wiki and will certainly be editing here quite a bit. I was thinking that maybe it would be cooler to have a picture related to the manga/anime in the background rather than the movie.

Also it would be nice to know who runs the show here

New Staff
So Wikia has upgraded me to sysop and bureaucrat.I have upgraded Arceus The God of Pokemon as well.We all need to work together to improve our wiki. We need to reorganise certain articles.Articles like that about Light Yagami should refer to background as info predating the storyline and rather than fate we should have a sub heading called "Plot" or something similar that refers to his/her role in the actual story.

Many, if not all articles use inconsistent tensing. Which do you want to use in blanket uniformity, past or present? -KidVegeta

Good point.I think as a completed series we should select past tense.Time to get to work.Btw any idea how to view traffic stats?Alexa.com only shows the traffic for Wikia as a whole.
