Your Own Wiki
I was reading Misa Amane's Talk Page, and I saw that you have your own wiki. I myself have my own wiki. You wouldn't mind swapping links and check each others wiki out would you? --KiumaruHamachi 12:55, December 25, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Misa Amane page
Hello, Mikazuki.

I saw what happened on the Misa Amane page, then read your message on its talk page - it wasn't your computer that was at fault, the page was missing. Looks like an honest mistake by the previous editor (unregistered). Managed to re-establish the page, replace missing bits, and looks like it should, as far as I can tell - I left messages on the Misa talk page as well, but since I'd need you to double-check whether everything looks alright (I assume you're more familiar with that page:)), I thought it a good idea to leave you a message on your talk page.Be well.Tetracapillactomist 05:09, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Misa Amane
Mikazuki-

Thank you very much for your due diligence in keeping an observant eye on the Misa Amane page.

Also, I am very grateful for the quick action supplied by "Tetra" in his remedy to the situation.

Keep up the excellent work in spotting mistakes, errors, and general vandalism on this, our Death Note Wiki!

Season's greetings!!

Adoption of this Wiki
I've proposed adoption of this Wiki.As you are a regular contributor I would like to have your permission.

Thank you

Why?!
...would you say this: "[...] there's one thing I'm sure of: every Wiki user hates my guts. I am that hateable."

Are you kidding?... If you are, ignore the rest: ha-ha... :)

But in case you're not: I certainly don't... Why do you think I reacted to your dismay, and tried to fix the Misa page, then left you a message? Because I hate you?... Tsk... I had a feeling, and wish I'd have left a message like this before... And look at other messages - I see no sign of Mogturmen hating you... In any case, I don't. :) I like you, and your passion for Death Note, as well as other things I've seen. You're not 'hateable,' you're passionate about certain things, and often sad, sometimes angry. Human emotions all of them, and fine. Be well, Mikazuki, don't despair - I hope you have moments of happiness to tide you over. In fact I'm sure you have... maybe when you're watching a favourite scene, or reading a favourite page, or writing a poem or story that's not all sad... Cheer up - just a little bit: there are those who like you for what you are, as you are. And it's never all bad, even when it seems so.

As to the offending idiots: those you can forget, they're not worth your worry. Think about that. ;)Tetracapillactomist 01:39, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Pretty accurate description. Not perfect, but still. Close enough. -.- Still, 'yay' for a confident booster! Now I'm off to play video games! *heads towards Xbox* Mikazuki 02:34, September 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, well... I didn't want to be too accurate, much less perfect, that would've been just plain creepy then. :p (No one's perfect anyway...) 'Yay' to the 'yay!' - glad you're glad. :-) Tetracapillactomist 11:38, September 11, 2011 (UTC)

What you think of Knochen von Tod.


 * Huh?... I didn't catch that question till now. Wondered whether Mikazuki was asking, but it seems it's Williamstrother.  Not familiar with that name, but at whom are you directing that question, Williamstrother?  At me or at Mikazuki?  If it's addressed to me, why under this header, and why on Mikazuki's talk page?  If, on the other hand, it's addressed to her, then why under my header, not your own, separate one?  And why isn't it signed?  I had to look into the edit history to find out who's asking.  But I still can't tell who is being asked...  Please sign your contributions - and do me a favour, create your own separate entry, Williamstrother, don't hijack mine, yeah?...  Gets kinda confusing otherwise.  To say the least...--Tetracapillactomist 19:41, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Misa's Page
Hello, I'm Marlene. It's nice to meet you. You made a rather big edit on Misa's page, and a lot of information was removed without any reason stated. I think it's best to consult the admins about this issue, and have a group discussion regarding what info should be left on the page. At the very least, we can discuss it between the two of us.

MarleneZ.    Talk 21:14, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

Her height, weight, bust size and blood type had been removed from the appearance section, as well as a picture from the manga. The information is from Death Note: How To Read 13, and the picture is a color page from Shonen Jump Magazine. The info and picture both describe her appearance, so I'm not sure why it was removed.

MarleneZ.    Talk 22:29, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

In that case, I propose keeping the info in the appearance section until a layout for the side table is established (many of them are inconsistant with each other, and lack organization). Once a definite layout is decided upon, we can move all of the info into the table.

MarleneZ.    Talk 22:57, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

An announcement
I like the template its a great idea and I hope your translations are accurate?

So I've been thinking about things for a while and I think I'm not contributing as much as I should as an active admin. College has become quite hectic and I am not able to do much work here. The reason I adopted this wiki was because DN is awesome and its wiki was falling to pieces. I think i managed it to keep it from disintegrating entirely and hold it together somewhat. I am considering promoting MarleneZ. What is your opinion in the matter?

P.S.I will continue to maintain the IRC channel which is linked to on the main page even though none of you fellows show up. -_-

Dremler 05:43, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

I really liked your template for the info table, but I was thinking we could add a few things. I propose adding Race (Human or Shinigami), Organization (SPK, Mafia, Japanese Task Force, Yotsuba, Wammy's House, Sakura TV, etc.), and maybe something like Occupation (detective, student, model/actress, police officer, lawyer, news anchor, etc.) to describe their job. What do you think?

MarleneZ.    Talk 23:55, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you. :D I forgot to mention this earlier, but Death Note: How To Read 13 gave each character a stat that applied only to that sinle character. For example, Mello has a "Superiority Complex" stat and Misa has a "Charm" stat. What do you think about adding those to the table? I'm a bit weary about it, since it's likely to cause edit wars. However, the stat was put in the book for a reason, and the purpose of the wiki is to catalog all information about Death Note.

MarleneZ.    Talk 00:49, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Great, thank you for your hard work. :D

I've been making color pages and editing pics as a hobby, and I saw that you had Near on your profile. So as a gift I leave this to you:

MarleneZ.    Talk 03:38, December 22, 2011 (UTC)



The table looks great! The colors fit the theme, and make the info look more organized. Great job! :D

MarleneZ.    Talk 20:20, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome! Okay, I'll try to get them all done today. I have a few things I've got to do since Christmas is coming up, but I'll finish them before friday. One more thing, in HTR13 next to L's height and weight it says "estimated". Ex: Height 5' 8'' (estimated). Should we put that on his character table as well?

MarleneZ.    Talk 20:56, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Gender would be fine. I checked HTR13, and Misa's info wasn't in there. My guess is that it came from the Japanese anime book.

MarleneZ.    Talk 22:40, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Knochen
Yep, I looked it up too... Just as you say. Well, the Q is right there where it's always been since the user typed it, unedited by me - I thought about simply removing it, but changed my mind for the sake of records and this being your personal page and all. Like I said, I thought you were the one asking me, as it was unsigned, and I just missed it before - though, to others than myself it may've looked as if I was trying to pander something, inserting a 'question' (aka pitch :)) like that after my signature. So that's why I left it in place: for the record (just indented the line to make it more visible). And I know now you weren't the one asking it, Williamstrother was - your guess was right: the writer of that fanfic entry. You can see the edit/contrib any time, for any edit made, by clicking the [down arrow] next to the edit/add message button, and selecting "History," (or clicking directly on the "History" tab when using the alternative wiki skin), then doing a comparative check between any two edits ("Difference between revisions"). In this case, it's Williamstrother's edit (Revision as of 01:04, November 13, 2011 - old, but we both missed it! :D) which shows the question appearing the first time, so even though it's unsigned, the wiki keeps a record of who did what. No biggie, just annoyed me that he sneaked it in under my header, under the radar, in what was basically a personal message on your talk page. I'll leave it up to you whether to snip it out or not - it's your talk page, after all. So, um, you do sneaky stuff like that yourself, huh?! Kidding. :) And YT is one thing, this was another, I think. Oh, and you've got mail, Dreamer - but I'll say it here: Happy New Year. (Yeah, I know it's late...-ish. :P) --Tetracapillactomist 23:54, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Object Template
Hello. I'm trying to make a template for Objects (Light's Watch, the Death Eraser) but I can't seem to get it right. Would you mind making one? I'm also trying to make one for the Death Notes, but I'm having trouble figuring out what info it needs. I was thinking of something like:

Shinigami Owner

First: Sidoh

Second: Ryuk

Human Owner

Light Yagami

etc.

Ownership Passed (a list of how many times ownership passed to someone else, with the date the person gained it, and lost it.)

Sidoh

Ryuk (Droped Notebook: m/d/y)

Light (Gained ownership: m/d/y)

Light (Relinquished ownership: m/d/y)

(note: Light's name would be listed multiple times because he gained it, gave it up, and regained it again.)

Notable People Killed With The Death Note (A list of names written in the notebook)

Naomi Misora m/d/y

Estimated Number of Deaths (Not an exact number, but a description)

For example: The number of names actually shown in the manga excedes 100, we can assume that more than 100 people were killed with this particular Death Note.

Notes

Light Yagami carries a piece of the Death Note in his watch.

You can add to this if you'd like.

If you're busy I understand. See ya later :) MarleneZ.     Talk    06:25, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Blog, Voice Actor pages, Reception area
Awesome, thank you for your help. You're very much appreciated. :D There's no problem, I think the blog was very good. Hopefully people will read it. Agreed about the voice actor pages. Wikipedia already has more detailed articles anyway, so it would be easier to just link their names to the articles there. I've been thinking about the Reception area on the character pages and I don't think it's necessary to have those, since it's just someones glorified opinion of the character. I'm probably going to get rid of those sections, but I'll leave the opinions from the actors in the films (Kenichi Matsuyama, Eriki Toda etc.) MarleneZ.     Talk 00:28, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Polls and Wiki Participation
I'm trying out some of the new wiki features, and I thought it would be cool to make some polls. I thought about doing "Who is your favorite DN Character" but the results would probably be pretty obvious. I might do a "Wammy's House" one later with all of the named children, including Linda (I'd vote for her) just for kicks. I basically want to focus on something other than L and Light. I know the series is about them, but the other great characters tend to get forgotten, and I want to give the other characters and their fans a chance to shine. I think the wiki needs some more participation from the readers, and polls are an easy way to hear opinions. I'd like to do primarily serious polls, but later we could do some just for entertainment, like "Matsuda vs. The Death Note". Any ideas? MarleneZ.    Talk 01:48, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Templates and Misa, but mostly Misa.
I think movies, books, and video games would be a good addetion. Also an "occupation" area.

For Misa's profile pic I think these three are pretty good:

The first one is the only one that could really be classified as gothic-lolita (and that's kind of pushing it, as gothic-lolita isn't really intended to be that sexy. It's more in the erololita category). The second outfit draws heavily on punk elements (I'd classify it erololita as well though) and the third is definitely punk lolita. I think her appearance section might need to be edited a bit. Before we do so however, we need to go through more pics to find her main style. Punk-loli and goth-loli often overlap, so classifying her will be difficult without seeing as much of her clothing as possible.

Just to be clear: gothic lolita is a sub-category of lolita, and ero lolita is considered by some to be a sub-category of gothic lolita. Punk lolita is seperate from gothic lolita and ero lolita, but it still falls under lolita.

This guide (note: when you get to the page, click on the hearts to see real life pics) is the best I've seen in defining lolita styles correctly.

I like the living/deceased category idea, but I'm not sure about the letter one. It could help to find characters from Wammy's House with letters, but adding Kiras seems unnecessary since we already have the "Kira" category. I think the lettered Characters from Wammy's House do warrent their own category because the letters represent being marked as standing apart from other children at the orphanage. MarleneZ.

Meeting and Categories
Hello, I want to have a wiki meeting with the other admins, and Dremler and I want you there. What would be a good time for you, and what time zone are you in?

By the way, those are extremely great categories! You rock! :D MarleneZ.     Talk 21:33, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Death Note Owners
Who exactly qualifies as a Death Note owner? I mean, all of the Shinigami have one as a rule, so should we limit this category to humans? And even then, what humans qualify? Are we counting those that have an actual note book (Light, Misa, Mikami, Soichiro, etc) or those who just use a piece fromthe notebook (Takada). And does it count if they don't know that they are using the death note (Raye)? Then there are those who have a notebook, but don't use it directly (Mello), and then Near who may or may not have used it. MarleneZ.    Talk 22:35, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Character templates
I like the the new templates but a couple of complaints.The blue colour seems to diminish readability. I think you should choose a colour which is easier on the eyes.

EDIT: You would find in most major wikis their character infobox is crystal clear.

Eg: http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Ryuk

I was freakin' out about Matt's hair, and totally missed the conversation above... Hmmm, I think an easy way to fix the templates would be to just switch the colors around. Make the black part red, and the red part black. Basically, how it's done on bleach wiki, but with the colors we use here. <span style="padding-left:2px; color:black; background-color:skyblue; border-top-left-radius:1ex; border-bottom-left-radius:3ex;">MarleneZ.
