Translating resources
Excuse me, but I was wondering if you knew of a site I could use to reliably translate Japanese words/sentences? I understand that Google translate and a few other sites are flawed and I am looking for a place where I can get some accurate translations. I'm not quite sure who exactly to ask about this so I apologize if this seems kinda random (^ -^);--GunmetalDragon (talk) 16:14, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello. Um, sorry I do not yet know how to reply directly back to earlier messages ^^; but if you don't mind, could you help me make out this sentence from the databook? "うちは一族が操る火遁の中でも群を抜いた威力を誇り、この術を前に退路はい". Thanks to those resources you recommended earlier, I was able to make out a few of the words but I do not know how the sentence itself should be read. Thanks for your time ^^--GunmetalDragon (talk) 22:03, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

Ch #700 dispute
Hi. Since you created the Naruto Uzumaki!! (episode) page and included Chapter 700 in the infobox, you may want to look at providing your opinion on it staying there on the talkpage, as there's a small dispute happening over it being present: Talk:Naruto Uzumaki!! (episode). --Sajuuk 16:34, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Korra
100% sure you know of Korra getting a comic series as well. What are your expectations? And what did you think of North and South Part 1? It's nice to see the Southern Water Tribe again. 21:31, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * Wait... a spirit portal into an amusement park? Seriously? All I know is that Korra will be getting a comic series, I didn't delve to deep into it yet. I kind of expected more, well you know, Spirit World stuff after the end of Korra, not necessarily anything about an amusement park. And you're right. The ongoing romance could tend to be a bit too dramatic and too much. And what do you mean by "do his own thing" with Bolin, though? As for North and South, it was inevitable that the Southern Water Tribe was going to develop more and it was inevitable that there was going to be friction with well, the North and the South based on the title. A lot of things were rather not surprising (until that scene at the end). That was out of nowhere. I really hope with that scene there won't be too much drama again with romance. But you're right, not enough action, but I felt it had the first chapter had to introduce the situation more than usual, since we haven't seen the Southern Water Tribe in such a long while, so I wasn't anticipating a ton of action. Regarding Katara, I forget, when was she excited this advancement in architecture? 23:12, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * A spirit portal into amusement park? Firstly, that's dangerous, second, couldn't have they (writers of Avatar) come up with a better idea? And ah. I get your point about Bolin then. Him spreading his wings finally and then kind of coming back under Mako's wing is a bit weird. And ahhhh yes, I remember, in that episode, Katara was elated about Northerners coming to help the Southern tribe after her initial friction with Pakku. Yeah, her dissatisfaction with that makes no sense now. And she's gonna have to come to terms with the fact that her mother is dead. Kicked the bucket. In her grave, and is not coming back anytime soon (not trying to say that it's easy to come to terms with that). But she's gonna have to see that there is nothing wrong with her father longing to have a relationship on that level. You're right in the sense that it would definitely take Katara a while to accept that, but I think she eventually will (unless she persuades her father to break it up and never love another woman again). Perhaps Sokka would understand and console her to some extent. But yeah, she's probably gonna be initially heated at the sight of that. 00:34, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Lilyxflower
i noticed some recent edits Lily did on Childhood, and she is ignoring edits about the ō and ū. Will you keep an eye on Lilyxflower for me? I tried to explain about the grammar policy to her, but she didn't care about the grammar... Kunoichi101 (talk) 01:37, November 4, 2016 (UTC)

changes
I started topics on talkpages, but no one bothered to say a thing, so I just went ahead with: 'nah, revert if you want' so if you have something to say, you are welcome to do so.--Elve Talk Page 17:39, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

Redirects
Users who use VisualEditor don't have the ability to respect redirects, as the tool is coded not to use them. It is simply better to correct the redirect without making a mention to the full link expansion (which is outside the user's control if they're using VE) or just ask users to switch to source editor so it doesn't happen again. --Sajuuk 11:06, November 11, 2016 (UTC)

Question
As you knew, that you were deleting Naruto Black I never pushed the rename. BabyKratosxZeus (talk) 19:01, November 17, 2016 (UTC)

Video abuse
I'm getting fed up with ScionStorm constantly embedding video files here. Is there anything that can be done to prevent users from using the video embedder? If Wikia could be contacted to restrict access to video embeds to just sysops and Wikia Staff, that would help immensely. --Sajuuk 16:04, November 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * Way back then, when the video embed feature came about, I specifically asked Sarah Manley (then the Product Manager for Wikia) if we could restrict this functionality and she did say that we could. But given that was several years ago, the position may have changed. However, I think it would be a good idea for a sysop here to message wikia and get clarity on this. Nobody has a reason to upload files here, except wikia staff's curated content, so having it restricted to just them would be far better. --Sajuuk 19:44, November 20, 2016 (UTC)

Infobox edits
How was what I posted wrong?

Fanon
Hey! I've been reading your works about "Elemental recomposition table" and i really like it. I would like to use some of them on my fanon characters, just for fun of course. I'd leave the credits to you (obviously). Anyway, congratulations on your work, it's very very good. See ya! PrimeiroShikage (talk) 18:32, November 28, 2016 (UTC)

TP usage?
Yo Omni. I've noticed lately that blocks are handed out very quickly before a talkpage warning is provided, even in instances of obvious vandalism, which is requiring me to go onto talkpages of blocked users and check if any warnings were used and if none were left, leaving one as a courtesy so other users of the wiki are aware for future reference.

Now I know you've mostly followed the mantra of leaving a warning on the user's talkpage before blocking (since it's a common courtesy), but I'm curious as to why most other users of the wiki don't seem to do this any more when they revert vandalism edits, especially since the talkpage is meant to be used as a public record of warnings.

Is it simply a case of re-educating those who revert vandalism to leave a message or reminding users to do so? Would appreciate your thoughts on this. --Sajuuk 13:54, November 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * I've always felt that it was a common sense thing to leave a warning on the user's talkpage, even if their vandalism was blatantly obvious. It's a good way of quickly finding out if the user has previous history for vandalism without searching block logs or contributions, as while blocked, the user won't be able to edit anything other than their talkpage, and if they don't know why they're blocked, the talkpage can educate them as to the likely reason.
 * In the last little while, I've been watching the block logs like a hawk and leaving talkpage posts on those users blocked who haven't been warned, simply as a courtesy to the user. Granted some forms of vandalism don't require a warning, but it just seems like the right thing to do imo. --Sajuuk 18:13, November 30, 2016 (UTC)

Wrong user
You blocked User:DuelMaster93 when I think you meant to block User:Jaxobbowden102 for this vandalism edit. --Sajuuk 09:56, December 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * No worries. You aren't the first person on Wikia lately to have accidentally blocked the wrong user for a vandalism edit ;) --Sajuuk 16:37, December 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hey
I actually gave a vandalism warning to that user, so two warnings for basically the same bad edit doesn't seem to make much sense. --Sajuuk 19:22, January 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be surprised if it's a caching issue, Wikia is filled with bugs in general these days :^) --Sajuuk 12:02, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

Valid info sources
Earlier I noted in the Community discussion forum and in a character talk page that I had access to a source providing information on English voice actors for many of the minor characters making appearances in the more recent English Shippūden releases. I wished to verify that such a source was considered valid to be used in the character infoboxes. Unfortunately the responses I received were not entirely conclusive. My source consists of credits originating from Viz Media's "Original and Uncut" English DVD box set releases of Naruto Shippūden. They list both the English and Japanese voices for each character making an appearance within that box set. In other words, I wanted a veteran editor's feedback on whether this would be considered a valid source in updating those characters' infoboxes. Dayshwon1998 (talk) 02:16, January 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up. In that case I have updated around 15 or so English voice actors (mostly from the anime-exclusive Kakashi Anbu arc). I appreciate your input! Dayshwon1998 (talk) 16:58, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Kurenai and Asuma's relationship
It did? Is there a translation of the statement floating around somewhere? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 20:24, January 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Shimaru hiden also calls her Kurenai Sarutobi, while also referring to them as partners, proving marriage isn't the only way to take on a surname just like in real life. So its changed either out of love/respect, or she changed it to match Mirai's. If she did infact marry Asuma, she would have been credited as Kurenai Sarutobi starting in Sha no Sho. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 21:21, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

Character Names
This question on character names has been haunting me for a long time. Character names should be presented as shown in the "English Anime Dub" according to the character naming policy. However, characters such as "A" and "Killer B" are presented as "Ay" and "Killer Bee" in the English anime to my knowledge (unless I am mistaken). Does this have to do with the form of rōmaji that this site uses? I understand that "Ay" and "Bee" are obviously just phonetic spellings of the first two letters of the English alphabet, but I have never seen their names presented as "A" and "B" anywhere besides on this site and I was just curious of the rationale behind that. Dayshwon1998 (talk) 19:47, January 26, 2017 (UTC)

Kushina's legacy
By the same logic, she didn't really influence Naruto's personality until he met her chakra imprint. I thought it was only fair to mention how her granddaughter inherited her temper, much like how she is mentioned to have similar traits to her son despite Naruto possessing them long before he knew her in any sense.

Junk trivia
Why did you change my addition, it was trivia, just check Raiga, sakon or ukon on ginga wiki Insanitywolf1 (talk) 22:49, February 9, 2017 (UTC)

Following articles
I have a question- is there a way to follow articles other than editing the article or talk page? I mean, can you click a button instead of making an edit? I want to follow the Tools category so I can be alerted of any additions and changes, but I don't want to leave an unnecessary edit to do it. Raidra (talk) 23:11, February 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I tried it and it worked. Thanks! There have been instances on wikis in which it let me know when a new article was added to a category just because I had left a comment on the talk page, so we'll see what happens. If this doesn't work then I could just do what I had been doing (comparing and contrasting the list on the site with a list I've been compiling). Raidra (talk) 00:20, February 18, 2017 (UTC)

Kinkaku
Heyan i dont think its ever mentioned kinkaku was in the force or that he killed nidaime. Can you link me where it says that?

Bureaucrat
Hey Omni. I think you should become a bureaucrat of the wiki. Out of all our sysops, you are the only one who maintains a semblance of any real activity, and we have so many sysops who are too busy or no longer active on the wiki, especially given that the wiki is pretty quiet and the only crat on the wiki is pretty much never around any more. I spoke with UltimateSupreme before I made this post and he felt you would be most suitable: if you don't wish for the position, I can ask another sysop if they're willing. (And if any other user sees this, feel free to chime in here: I don't think a public thread on the forums would be wise either). --Sajuuk 16:05, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * Going to try and keep this simple and sweet. While grasping the position in the wikia's current state will be difficult, i do agree Omni is best suited for the job. He does more than the most of us and is a well balanced editor, creating and contributing to discussions, creating articles, reverting bad edits, properly warning users etcetera etcetera. He also has a mellow personality which is awesome in a place like this where we can all be jerks. @Sajuuk: If Omni wants the rights, wikia will most likely have us make a thread for community consensus.
