Kudos
Hey there, just wanted to congratulate you on all your work so far with the Tingle enemies. You've only been around a few days but already it seems you're into the full swing of things. Keep it up! :) 18:17, 16 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Thanks Hylian King, I'll do my best. --Shadow Reaper 18:49, 16 June 2012 (EDT)

About the Zelda's Adventure enemies
I felt I better explain my actions before I potentially revert some of the edits you've made recently, because I don't want to come across as opposed to what you've done because you're making good additions; but at the moment the gallery pages tend to not include any CD-i enemies, even though we do have sprites for them. I personally prefer it this way, and I think it would have to be something to discuss as a group before we include CD-i enemy images on the main pages for each character. So I will be removing some of the images you've uploaded from the enemy pages they're on; but I am more than happy for them to be included on their own gallery page. Any additional information is fine, but the images should not be included, unless we plan to include all the CD-i enemies there, which at the moment we don't. 07:25, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Glad that was cleared up, I do have a question for you though! Sheepman. Is this an official name, is it mentioned in the game, or did you source it from somewhere? If you think it's a fan name, use the tag like this to make it clear. If you're unsure on an enemy name, it's best to go with a descriptive name rather than a name that sounds official but isn't, to avoid confusion. I suspect there are a number of CD-i enemies without official names, so if you find one without a name, best to make it clear.  07:47, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
 * IGN had it on there page about the game. Technially they had it as Sheepman but as the page was about all three I made it plural. Where they got the name I have no clue. The only new enemies that I know what there called is the Kelpies. So I don't know. --Shadow Reaper 07:51, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Here's the page from IGN the enemies section is Section L http://www.gamefaqs.com/cdi/564215-zeldas-adventure/faqs/15120--Shadow Reaper 07:54, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Looks potentially fan-made by the FAQ writer (it's a GameFAQs guide, so it's fan-written) but it's possibly sourced from the manual. There may be a transcript of the manual online somewhere. I'm not sure they're meant to be sheep, but it's very hard to tell. Those games are so weird. 08:04, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Well if you look at them from the side they sorta look like they have sheep heads. But I have a couple of friends who own the game so I'll see if I can either borrow the manual or see if they can find if Sheepman is in there. --Shadow Reaper 17:11, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
 * I found a scan of the manual online, you can find them on replacementdocs.com, so check it out. It doesn't seem to list any names whatsoever though. Still, worth a look if you're interested, but it's pretty short and lacking in much detail. I suspect the enemies weren't named at all. 17:57, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Thanks Fizzle, and on a side note they do list Swamp Zola under the repellent and Avianna under Feather. Oh well this will definitely help in the Items of ZA page. :D --Shadow Reaper 18:12, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

German names
Hey, I see you've taken to adding German translations to pages. Always glad to see someone take interest in that area of the wiki.

Thought I'd let you know you could be killing two birds with one stone by adding Template:de as well. Adding   at the very bottom of a page creates a link in the sidebar to the corresponding page of our German affiliate, Zeldapendium. I'm not going to ask you to go over every page you just edited and add it, but from now on it you could at the bottom of the page that would be great. Not that you have to, though, just thought I'd let you know. 08:07, 29 June 2012 (EDT)

While we're on the subject, I just want to hop in with a word of warning; I've noticed you taking the names from the German wiki, which is fine to an extent, but do note that many of these names are actually just simply translations of English names on this wiki, rather than official German names, which is what the template is for I believe. For example, the Buzz enemy is called Eidechse, which simply translates as "lizard", which is the old fan name we had before we moved it to the Japanese name. So not only are these names not official names, they're not always accurate translations of the ones we're using either. Ideally, these names should be sourced from the German games or guides themselves. 13:12, 29 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Well crude, I thought the Zeldapendium had the actual german name for the enemies not the english traslations for the enemies. No real point on going on with the adding german translations if ya can't tell which is accurate and which are simple german translations. -_-* Okay thanks for the heads up Fizzle. And Hylian King looks like I'm droppin' out of the translating area unless I can stumble across a german guide. The only one I have like that is the ZA manual. --Shadow Reaper 18:33, 29 June 2012 (EDT)
