Names in different languages for SS characters
Hey, just wanted to say that you are doing an amazing job at listing the Spanish names for all the SS characters. It takes a lot of effort to find these names if you don't own a Spanish Copy of the game. So keep up the great work! XXSuperXXNintendoXx 21:29, 29 December 2011 (EST)
 * Well, it helps that the USA copies are trilingual and can have the language switched by switching the language on the Wii Menu. USA copies of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are similarly trilingual; set language on the DS menu to English, French, or Spanish and you can switch the in-game language...--Shiningpikablu252 21:32, 29 December 2011 (EST)

I never knew that(probably because I don't dare to change the language settings), guess you learn something new everyday :) XXSuperXXNintendoXx 21:34, 29 December 2011 (EST)
 * Just for the record, the Skyward Sword manual actually shows how to play the game in the different languages. Each language section has a shot of the Wii Menu's language selection screen with the matching language highlighted.  Granted that language selection is on the third screen of choices under the Wii Settings (and Wii Settings is one screen removed from the base Wii Menu), it's not as easy as the manual might imply...--Shiningpikablu252 21:37, 29 December 2011 (EST)

Nice to see you
Just wanted to say that it's nice to see you here. May not be obvious, but I'm also Rai Marshall at Bulbapedia. :P Anyhow, nice to see you. Makes me feel glad that ZW is getting some good help after how nearly everyone left. -Sigh- The Goron Moron 22:51, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Spirit Tracks Translations
Hey, I noticed you've been doing work on ST translations. Just thought you should know I've actually been working on dumping the text for that game. Sadly, I don't have the Japanese text and haven't been able to work all the different languages into a table yet, but other than that it has about everything, including a chunk of text that the people at Zelda Legends missed. Would you be interested in having it? 23:34, 3 July 2012 (EDT)


 * Sorry, the resources I'm using are the actual USA copy game and the existing, infamously mislabeled text dump in question (Zelda Legends labels the text dump as European, but if one were to search key terms, they'd come up as their USA versions, i.e. Byrne rather than Staven in English, Alfonzo rather than Gasto in French, Aldea Papuchia rather than Canalias in Spanish).


 * Actually, the fact that there's a Spirit Tracks USA copy text dump for French and Spanish is actually making things a bit easier--there's no text dump other than English currently for Skyward Sword, and of the three dumps Zelda Legends is currently missing for Phantom Hourglass, two of them just happen to be French and Spanish from the USA copy (they're also missing a Korean dump), hence the game itself is all I had to work with for Skyward Sword and Phantom Hourglass...--Shiningpikablu252 23:46, 3 July 2012 (EDT)


 * Alright, well if ever you want a much better text dump to work with (that has all the European versions as well), just holler. :P 08:41, 4 July 2012 (EDT)

Featured article voting
Hey, so Mandi brought up a good point here about our Featured Article and Image voting systems. I personally would like to see a change, but that just won't happen if no one says anything or voices their opinion. I'm asking you to please voice your opinion on changing the system so we can move forwards with proposing actual changes and actually GET somewhere with this. Please and thank you! 20:48, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

You're a hero
...for helping out with the new Template:Names, and relentlessly adding translations since you joined. Just sayin'. 19:43, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hylian King took the words right out of my mouth. One thing I noticed is that sometimes you stretch the translation table (example). In these cases, you should consider using  tags and format 3 of Template:Japanese. Also, when dealing with multiple names or translations, it might be better to use Template:Names Table. Anyway, keep up the good work.  10:24, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
