Front page picture

Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

I've looked at the pictures of Jet Jaguar on his article and the most recent one of him isn't the one on the front page. Can this be changed?

Why was my Dan Stevens page reverted back to sandbox?

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

Was there anything i missed? As far as i know i got everything that's actually relevant to the wiki.

Don't delete the list of female kaiju

Enshohma (talkcontribs)

We've re-worked this list to be more relevant to this site A LONG TIME AGO and the list covering Godzilla only female monsters doesn't cover the wider subject in that same current relevance, I just think the younger Godzilla fans crying for its deletion are basing their assumptions from the earliest now long defunct version of the list, comments related to that from long ago, or the subject matter offends their sensibilities somehow. I'm trying to be civil but the idea is moronic IMO. It's a good damn list.

Mahayana-60 (talkcontribs)

I am a fan of female Kaijū personally. I am female by birth, and have no reason to be offended by the subject matter. I simply find it complicated because there is controversy about whether some of the Kaijū are actually female. Like the New Mothra/Mothra Leo is Female in Japan but considered Male by the English dub, causing controversy. Or the Hedorah having gender at all is in debate aside from a video game source, which I don’t know if that is credible enough.


In all honesty, I don’t care that much the status of the list, but just find it a little bit silly to have around.

Enshohma (talkcontribs)

Every monster on the list has been confirmed female through official source in and out of the films and ignoring erroneous examples that confuses regular mainstream and casual kaiju fans, hence why Mothra Leo, Hedorah, or Destorayah is not included despite numerous attempts by the aforementioned people in the past. The list also make notes when the situation is a bit more complicated like with the 1998 American Godzilla (an amphibious egg layer of two interchanging biological genders) or the Gypsy Danger mecha (honorary referred to as female in the old nautical tradition and in multiple incidents by the human characters).

Mahayana-60 (talkcontribs)

I guess so. I am just finding more and more of these Western contrasts I never heard of growing up so bizarre.

Les (talkcontribs)

I think its usefulness stems from the fact that most monsters don't have a confirmed gender, and are consequently assumed to be male by default (Ghidorah, Megalon, Baragon, whoever). So collecting a list of monsters who do actually have a confirmed gender, and the more uncommon of the two at that, is mildly interesting.

Mahayana-60 (talkcontribs)

That is a good point.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

i Really hope I'm not barging in but i just honestly think theres more pressing things on the site that should be worked on rather than this list honestly

pretty low priority if you ask me.

Les (talkcontribs)

The page is only edited once every few months. I don't see what the fuss is about

Enshohma (talkcontribs)

No offense but you were positively placating Mechagodzilla2008 less than two days ago on its possible deletion and, based on the replies in this same thread and elsewhere, it's obvious that the majority of mainstream Godzilla fans don't even read the list in detail, assuming it to be filled with BS fan-crap like the Destroyah / Hedorah controversies. Obviously, better minds behind this site have ignored such fan-wank nonsense and only included kaiju / characters confirmed to be female and make much needed notes where the individual situations are complicated such as 1998 American Godzilla (an amphibious egg layer of two interchanging biological genders) or the Gypsy Danger mecha (honorary referred to as female in the old nautical tradition and in multiple incidents by the human characters). I needed to speak up because no one else was defending the list's merits

Les (talkcontribs)

I did not "positively placate" him. One of his two core arguments were that "half the stuff on it we don't cover", which I denied, and then he closed the thread. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not particularly invested in the list, but I have no intention of deleting it.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

i never replied to him on that thread.

How can I help?

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

Sorry to bother you again, but i feel that i haven't been doing enough for this site, what pages can i help on? I'm especially good with working on merch pages.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

we got a page that features an entire list of sandboxes for a good reason so anyone who views the page can find and work on some.

Les (talkcontribs)
Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

i forgot to i was going to but got distracted

BoopN00dle (talkcontribs)

Easiest way is by working on broken links and files (though it requires some HTML knowledge). Some more time consuming work is reworking outdated pages and adding to stub pages or general clean up (Check out the helping out part of the Main Page). Don't feel obligated to do anything however! Only do as much as you want!

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

One extremely tedious but necessary merch-related project would be replacing all of the toy images that have Club Tokyo watermarks. They're very cross with us about that.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

the X plus page really should be updated as well

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

Sure, you mind sending me links to all the pages with them?

There may also be watermarked images that are only in monster gallery pages.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Why was X plus not linked?


X-Plus#Future releases


stuff thats been released for a couple of years now already came out and more stuff hasnt been added yet

BoopN00dle (talkcontribs)

Because he specifically asked about pages with Club Tokyo watermarks.

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

Woah! That's more than i expected! But i could probably manage. Say, where can I find replacement images?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Try eBay, Yahoo! Auctions, Mandarake, and Buyee.

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

Sorry for the late reply, my internet went out unexpectedly. I'll get to work, it'll have to be after i'm done watching Dune, i rented it so I have to watch or else I won't get the chance to.

BoopN00dle (talkcontribs)

If you take a redirect to Godzilla (GMK) it starts an infinite loop of redirects.

Les (talkcontribs)

We're aware. Somehow the page got moved twice and it nuked the page history. Having someone look into it

BoopN00dle (talkcontribs)

Alright.

Should we Delete the List of female kaiju page?

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

A lot of people are asking for it, and half the stuff on it, we don't cover. So why bother?

Les (talkcontribs)

The only thing on it I see we don't cover is from Project Nemesis, which was only recently deleted.

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

Good point, but, there are still people asking for it's deletion.

Double Redirects

1
BoopN00dle (talkcontribs)

Sorry for bothering, but I was spending some time over the past 3 days fixing double redirects, but the remaining 14 are harder to fix. They are all user type pages, (I.E. sandboxes or profiles) so it won't let me edit them. Most of these could simply be deleted but others are from username changes, so I would make them all redirect to the same place. I can't do that so I decided the best idea would be to message you about it.

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)
Les (talkcontribs)

Definitely not.

MechZilla74 (talkcontribs)

Just saw that it was deleted, and for good reason. If this site covered every monster from every piece of media it would become muddled with fanfiction and false info.

Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

Les, I'm fixing the article links to the articles they referred to on Ultraman Wiki. A lot of them were all wrong and didn't refer to where they were supposed to. Please look at the ones I just fixed now and you'll see what I mean.

Sorry about the English titles, though; I didn't know about those. Also, Ultra Fight Orb is listed twice. Is that right or not?

UPDATE: Are my eyes deceiving me? You said you reverted something here, but I looked twice and I can't see it. Otherwise, everything looks normal.

Les (talkcontribs)

You added a space between the 2010s and 2020s sections, which I reverted.

Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

Les, why did you remove the references to Operation: Mystery - Mystery File and Iron King? The first one's right there on Ultraman Wiki in the Operation: Mystery article under 'Sequels" and the second one's in there, too; once again, you probably didn't think to look up the references first before jumping to conclusions! After all, the same reference was used by me for Operation: Mystery - Second File and no one's complained. What that title is is the Japanese title, not the English-language title used in Japan which, I presume, is mentioned in the article!

I want an expanation and I want it now! I've had enough trouble with The King of the Monsters lately; please don't make things any worse than they already are right now! What did I do wrong this time?

Well. let's hear it, and it had better be good?

Lamango (talkcontribs)

Iron King is literally only on the Ultra Wiki due to the writers of Ultraseven working on it. It's not Tsuburaya.

Les (talkcontribs)

I don't think linking to a section that just says its name is particularly useful.

Also, Iron King is not a Tsuburaya production.

Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

Okay, I'm soory about that, but what about Second File? Should that one be removsed, or what? It's the only thing we've got for either of them until articles are written by Ultraman Wiki.

Can I at least please put back the English-language title of Mystery File?

Les (talkcontribs)

1.) I removed it.

2.) Tsuburaya's preferred English title is Kaiki Daisakusen: Mystery File, as seen here.


P.S. - you're already on thin ice. I don't think you want to me making demands of what I'd "better" do. Cool it.

Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

I'm sorry about that.

Godzilla: The Series two episodes lists

1
Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

Hey Les, I just saw what you and The King of the Monsters did with the lists I put on, and I must say, well done! I've only got one question for you.

TKotM did a great job on the chronological order list and actually improved upon it; I was impressed, to say the least! That being said, why did you remove that list? The Videos section already mentions the DVD releases are in chronological order, but without the list, the newbies to this site won't know what it is. At least, that's what I think. Could you please put it back the way TKofM had it?

UPDATE: Never mind, Les, I just saw your chronological addition to the episodes list and it's very good. Please disregard the above message. Thanks!
