Can’t create new pages

GojiraBoy1000 T (talkcontribs)

Multiple times, I’ve tried to create a new category, but I always ended up with the warning that someone had supposedly been editing it at the same time. Thought it’d be best to inform about this bug so that it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Les (talkcontribs)

Which categories were these?

GojiraBoy1000 T (talkcontribs)

Arthropods

Atragon3000 (talkcontribs)

The exact same thing is happening to me. It wouldn't let me create any more sandboxes, and sometimes even prevented me from looking at different page revisions.

Deletion went crazy

Johnny (talkcontribs)

@Les what happened? A bunch of pages got deleted

JohnGojira (talkcontribs)

The description said something about corrupted tables

Tess McLeod

Her bio on her Instagram says "Everyday Life Working in Costume Design (King Kong x Godzilla)" + Ann Foley posted the teaser on her Instagram and mentioned Tess alongside other staff members + Tess mentioned Ann on her current story

I'm unsure what this is in response to, her involvement in the movie was never a question. My points were that she's an assistant so she shouldn't be listed on the page, and the video you sourced for Zeus being the working title never actually connects that title to the movie.

MechaniKongZilla (talkcontribs)

oh my god you right, I'm feeling so dumb now, I need to read your notes with more attention, apologies.

I guess I wasn't sure of who should and should not be mentioned, I don't edit Staff much

Information For Movie Pages

Keeri'ijra (talkcontribs)

So I've been going through some of the material that has come out for Minus One's creation, and I wanted to ask which section that information should go. Developement would be my guess, but I'm unsure as how to format it. Any tips?

Les (talkcontribs)

Anything related to the conceptualizing and pre-production can go in Development, production and post-pro (like VFX) in Production.

As far as pointers go, checking the way other pages have done things is probably more instructive than anything I could write out. The Killing Bottle, The War in Space, and Reiko, Psyche Resurrected are some of the ones I'm most proud of, although they probably pale in comparison to how lengthy Minus One's will be.

Keeri'ijra (talkcontribs)

Hey, been a while since I said I would work on this but I started putting most of the information from the meatiest interview into this sandbox and was wondering how serviceable the work is so far. Am I on the right track or is there something I need to be doing differently?

Keeri'ijra (talkcontribs)

Bump

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Looks to be coming along well! Some of the old text in Development is more Marketing material though.

The Last Hope

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Do you want me to upload photos of the Japanese version of The Last Hope? As I said, it doesn't confirm anything about neither Atlantis nor Mu continent. Just wondering if it's ok to upload every pages of it for copyright issues.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

I also checked the comments by Matt Frank, and it says a "new" story, and he never says anything about connectivity to the Heisei trilogy.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Within Matt's comments, he briefly notes the connectivity of the Dark Horse series to the Heisei trilogy, but NOT about The Last Hope.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

So, you don't even provide explanation to revert?

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Would you please reply to me first?

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

I'm waiting for you to reply...

Les (talkcontribs)

I was going to reply to you here, where I don't have a character limit (and where you're actively spamming me). I'm happy to address your concerns, but me not having the inhuman typing speeds to give you a proper response right away doesn't give you license to keep removing the information.

Matt Frank intended the comic to be a possible explanation for how the Heisei Gamera came to be. I'd think that much is clear from what the comic shows: an ancient civilization with a close relationship to the Earth's mana who engineer Gameras and commune with them using magatamas, but are ravaged by monsters and leave behind Iris, a stone tablet on Gamera's shell, and a graveyard of Gamera skeletons on the seafloor. Regarding one of the points you brought up in your edit summaries, I don't see how the lack of an Atlantis namedrop is damning when it is consistently called "a super-ancient civilization" in the movies themselves. The only time it's connected to Atlantis is in the first movie, when Kusanagi says that the civilization was the basis for the Atlantis legends.

Now, you are correct that it's not explicitly "canon", in the sense that it's not guaranteed to be the way history actually played out. Frank admits as such in one of his YouTube videos. However, this is the same level of canonicity as all of the other conflicting Heisei tie-ins which you don't seem to take issue with. This site's incarnation pages factor in alternate timelines as long as they present themselves as connected to the mainline media (like the Monsterverse novelizations, which often contradict the movies).

As for the other point you brought up, I don't know why the comic starting out as self-published should affect how we regard it. It has been officially adopted by Kadokawa, who've allowed it to be issued with Arrow Video's first run of Gamera discs and translated into Japanese by Phase Six. The packaging for the former reads, "the first-ever English-language printing of the prequel comic The Last Hope." So, I feel there's a plenty good case for it.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Finally, thanks for replying.

>>where you're actively spamming me

If you've told me to wait, I would have done so without any problems. I may have looked like spamming you, but from my perspective, I thought you were completely neglecting me and kept reverting without any explanation. So there was a misunderstanding between us, I apologize for that.

>>all of the other conflicting Heisei tie-ins which you don't seem to take issue with

I don't have problem as long as their connectivity to the trilogy is officially mentioned; in this case The Last Hope lacked one AT LEAST on the book I have. Except for Legend, Gamera: The Council of Gigantic Bio-Creatures, The Last Hope, all those were introduced to bear connectivity to the trilogy within the Heisei Gamera Perfection (p.287), regardless of canonicity. And I also have the book which includes the Legend, and it certainly looks like it has a connectivity.

And Gamera: The Council of Gigantic Bio-Creatures was published by Kaneko and others, so I see no problem to see it as a canon. (The Heisei Gamera Perfection doesn't mention about Gamera: The Council of Gigantic Bio-Creatures and Legend.)

Hey Les!

I was wanting to ask, what is the policy of wiki's scope on companies? Was preparing to set up a sandbox for Webtoon based on a post I found from the Godzilla official website, but wanted to clarify first.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

We don't have formal rules yet, but we're pretty permissive of companies associated with the media we cover; Webtoon seems fine. Not much to talk about with regards to kaiju yet, but it seems likely that more IDW Godzilla series will be published there.

JohnGojira (talkcontribs)

Got it, thank you ABB!

Help with concept art and stuff

Ultraman rides a dragon cuz yes (talkcontribs)

Hey Les, once again I have a question to ask about Golden Sachi Monster King Rampus (金鯱怪獣キングランパス) which I am kind of working on on my personal Sandbox (User:Ultraman rides a dragon cuz yes/Sandbox/Deranged Ramblings).

So as you can see in the link, concept art for one of the characters in that film, however, considering that the 2 of the concept pieces depict exposed robot breasts, I wonder if this would be ok for upload if I ever get to uploading concept art.

That's fine.

I was wondering if there were enough relevant citations on his biography section now. If not, let me know what I need to add.

“Why only mention the int'l one?”

Ani Mate, the One-Headed Human (talkcontribs)

I just thought people would’ve found it obvious for the AIP/Titan dub to be omitted, given how none of the U.S. versions have been used since the early 2010s (with exceptions like KOTM! and G2K). This is similar reasoning as to why I didn’t mention the U.S. cuts of the films when adding information about the Criterion release. The export dub’s absence just felt a bit more peculiar.

Still, I like that you added it and I’ll take your comment into consideration the next time I do something else like this.
