Scott's Pixar Wiki indefinite block
On Pixar Wiki, Scott blocked my account indefnitely. Is this reasonable or not? He says he blocked me because I "do not wish to cooperate with wiki policy" and that my "activity has become a nuisance". Is this true? FLAGFREAK 22:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I responded on the wiki. -- Danny (talk ) 23:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

SciFi Footer
Yeh i added the footer to the bottom of the Main Page over at the Andromeda Wiki. Thanks Anthil&#39;za 22:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

New Footers
I created some footers for the Cartoons and Comics Hub:








 * I think I'll go tag the Animanga wiki and possibly get someone to to Cartoons/Comics. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 15, 2007 @ 23:19 (UTC)


 * Excellent, I was going to ask you if you wanted to do these. :) If the wiki is active, I've been careful to ask an admin or post on Current events first before putting it on somebody else's page. It wouldn't be good for us to irritate a community by posting something like this without asking first. -- Danny (talk ) 23:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yup, 90% of the Animanga Wikia are either mine (ie: part of Wikia ACG) or inactive. Only one or two are really active. So the only one I really had to ask is the One Piece Wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 16, 2007 @ 00:24 (UTC)


 * Okay, cool. It'll be nice to see if this helps people to cross over, and check out a bunch of different wikis! -- Danny (talk ) 01:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hub
Whoops, I was putting all the stars in one area and forgot it was alphabetized. Oops. Plumber


 * No problem! -- Danny (talk ) 23:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikia ACG
ACG is a Taiwanese term which means "Anime, Comics, Games" which in North American terms would mean "Anime, Manga, Cartoons, Comics, and Video Games". Graphical Entertainment isn't a term known by anyone, and Afker finally prodded me enough to get me to rename the project. We're mostly renaming because We can't use GE for the wiki, ie http://ge.wikia.com can't be taken by the project. So by using Wikia ACG instead we can use http://acg.wikia.com and also ACG:.. for interwiki (There's a technical system being developed that requires a interwiki link in the map). ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 11, 2007 @ 08:51 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm glad that you dropped the Graphical Entertainment name, but I think this one might be even more confusing. Will English-speaking users know what ACG means? I'm also a little confused about the video games aspect. Are you planning to have the project include all of the gaming wikis? -- Danny (talk ) 09:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not a widely known name, but neither was Graphical Entertainment. Afker poked me saying that it would be better to use a little known term than a term noone is familiar with. Also he said it would be best to use one where you at least get disambiguation when you look at Wikipedia. See GE, Graphical Entertainment, and ACG. The first one you get General Electric info, and disambig has nothing to do with entertainment. The second one doesn't exist. But if you look at Wikipedia's page for ACG it's a disambig page and the third thing you see there is the explanation of the Taiwanese term. I actually started a terminology page Wikia ACG Terminology.
 * As for the Games part; If you look at the terminology page or Wikia ACG page it explains it a little. The project aims to cover Anime, Manga, Cartoons, Comics, and the games which are related to them. By related to them there are only 2 categories of games which fit under it. Games which cross-over with Animanga or Cartoon-Comic series, or ones which are created in the same style as Animanga or Caroon-Comics. Such as the eroge games AliceSoft Makes (which is why the AliceSoftWiki is part of the project). A large portion of Animanga series cross-over into their own games, and there are universes such as Megaman which are divided between both a large Gaming audience and a large Animanga/Cartoon-Comic audience. So many of the Gaming wiki such as Halopedia, WoW, etc... Don't fit in the project. Only the few that cross-over into the other aspects of the project. ^_^ I think Afker makes a good point and explanation at Anime:Project talk:Wikia ACG. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 15, 2007 @ 23:14 (UTC)

Big wikis punctuation
Hey, Toughpigs. I noticed you have been reverting my edit(s) on the Big wikis "hub." What's your reasoning for removing the spacing surrounding that em dash? As far as I know (and both The Chigago Manual of Style and The Oxford Guide to Style agree with me), em dashes should not be surrounded by spaces. --Imperialles 22:51, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I just don't think it looks good. That Wikipedia link actually shows that there's a lot of disagreement about how to use dashes. It says that modern practice sets it open rather than closed, and The Elements of Typographic Style recommends an open en dash. Personally, I would rather go back to the way it was originally, an open double dash. -- Danny (talk ) 00:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * No, I'm glad you posted -- it reminded me to check on how everybody's doing! -- Danny (talk ) 17:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
