Code Geass: Akito the Exiled
Thanks for the message. I've also been a little busy myself these past few days, but I will try to help with the updates about Akito the Exiled and add some of the new information. Jroa 00:22, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

New information from Oz photo story chapters
I've recently translated some new information from the Oz photo story chapters (on Orpheus and a few other characters), and I was wondering if it was okay if I could add this information to their character pages? Or is this too soon? Eternal Dreamer 01:19, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

About the Geass page
Umm, I don't think Orpheus' Geass belongs in the non-canonical section. Unlike the other mangas and games, Oz the Reflection IS cannon, as it is part of the same timeline as the anime that is acknowledged by the original creators, and I think it should be put in the cannon Geass section as such.

Nationality
Lelouch, can you change of Nationality of :

1. Andrea Farnese

2. Shin Hyuuga Shaingu

3. Michell Manfredi

4. Jean

5. Augusta Henry Highland is the Britannian Archduke of Verance

They'all is an Euro Britannian.

Akito's Last Name
Hello!

I see that you have changed Akito's last name from Hyuga to Hinata.

It's true that the kanji is different, but please notice this: the furigana (the small kana letters above the kanji) in the official home page, especially in the character design image, indicates that the proper reading for the name should indeed be Hyuga (ヒュウガ), not Hinata. See for yourself: http://www.geass.jp/akito/chara_akito.html

Remember that kanji can have multiple readings and in this case they have already specified which one is being used officially for Akito's last name. Therefore, I think you should revert that change. Thanks for your attention. Jroa 10:09, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

New Information on Euro Universe
A new update on the Akito website (http://www.geass.jp/akito/world_column.html) has revealed more about the background and political system of the EU, such as their calender system and the history behind the presence of Britannian nobles like Reila in the EU and the meaning behind the term "Euro Britannians". Would it be alright to add this info on the Euro Universes page, under its own sub-header?

Also, on a side note, why was Reila's page changed to "Leila Malkal"? Since the Akito website clearly spells it as "Reila", I don't see the reason for the change. Eternal Dreamer 14:26, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

"Europia United" is a loose interpretation of the name "ユーロピア共和国連合" which appears in the new update I was talking about. (Plainly translated, it would come out as "Europia Republic Union", but I think considering the context it's supposed to be just "Europia Union".) Apparently, it's the name of the EU, but whether it's meant to be the Japanese version of "Euro-Universe", or an entirely new name that replaces the older name, I don't know. Some have speculated that, since the name Euro-Universe has only appeared in printed materials and not the anime itself, the makers of Akito have decided to change the name to "Europia Union" as it sounds better than the old name, which might have just been a temporary name while the focus was not placed on the EU. In your opinion, how should this new name be dealt with in regard to the EU wiki page? Eternal Dreamer 13:02, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

The page has updated please check it and there's a new video come out but I can't watch it in my country T.T

could you upload the video or not ? http://www.geass.jp/akito/ [[User:Layla Hyuuga Malkal|Layla Hyuuga Malkal] 11:36, July 16, 2012 (UTC)]

I would say European Union, since the Japanese pronunciation in these kinds of things are often simplified to make it easier for them to say. So if you agree, I would change the name of the "Euro-Universe" page to "European Union". Once you do, I'll add the new EU information to the page. --Eternal Dreamer 12:51, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

(Though it appears that someone has already added the new information I was talking about to the EU page.) --Eternal Dreamer 22:52, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Also, a new summary of Akito episode 1 has replaced the old one on the Akito website, along with new screenshots. I've translated it, but may I add it beneath the old one on the Akito page? --Eternal Dreamer 14:01, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I've already added the new summary to the Akito page, as well as some new images on a slideshow. Please do not change the line spacing if possible. --Eternal Dreamer 14:04, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Image Helper!!
Hey Idk if u remember me but no matter. Not to undermine you an anyway as an admin, I'm an admin on several other wiki's and I'd like to help you further organize your images. To avoid lost data compression, the majority or just the most important of pictures should be replaced with Png's and renamed to preserve authentiticity. I was just wondering if it was ok if we worked together to help halt this. I hope that maybe we could chat about it if u werent too busy. 20:37, July 16, 2012 (UTC) <-- Sig Broken >.< User:Desboy96 -- 20:37, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Photos
Is there a reason why you are changing back all the akito photos? MeLovGaming 06:14, July 19, 2012 (UTC)MeLovGaming

Image Talk
Hello.

1. Okay, I understand that it is better to have higher resolution images, so I am now going to re-upload a few of the previous screenshots at 1280x720.

My reasoning is that we should try to use the best available source material. I am taking screenshots from a trailer found on Nicovideo, instead of the trailers from Youtube which have a more distorted picture with less quality.

Sometimes the difference isn't much, but at other times you will instantly see there are more ugly blurs and compression artifacts in the Youtube videos, even if the resolution is 1280x720 or higher, so they look worse. In some cases the colors also look a little strange and weird, like in a few of the older images.

Then again, I imagine someone will have to replace the most important images one more time in the future, whenever the DVD/BD version comes out, because right now very few of them represent "true" high definition, despite their formal 1280x720 resolution.

2. About the picture of Ayano...well, I'm not going to change the infobox picture again, but here's the issue: the image of Ayano with a gun has her with a slightly different face/expression than the pictures of her with a white outfit. You can see that she looks a little different in the more recent trailer, and going by the summary/spoilers she won't be appearing with the W-0 outfit during most of episode one (she starts the story as a member of Ryo's anti-mafia group). Jroa 20:15, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Can we make a "W-0 Unit" page?
The latest update on the Akito website (http://www.geass.jp/akito/world_column.html) has given some more information on the current state of the EU, and has particularly given some background on the establishment of the W-0 unit. In light of this and all the other information that there currently is on it, would it be alright to give the W-0 Unit it's own page here?

Also, since there will likely be more of these "Akito Worldview Columns" in the future on the Akito website, would it be alright to make a special "Akito the Exiled" sub-heading on the EU page, so that all the new information of the EU from Akito is collected together until it can be properly sorted out?

Thank you very much for the message. :)

I'm very very sorry Lelouch Di Britannia -dono, i forgot to sign the thank-you message i left. Sorry. and thank you for the welcoming message.~ Pegasus Knight Ayn 01:10, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Image Sizes
Honestly if you dnt get them in like legit 1080 HD on like Amazon Video, 1280x720 is just robbing them of their quality, thats why I reduced them to 350px. 14:45, July 25, 2012 (UTC) <Signature Broken, User:Desboy96 --  14:45, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Images
You went a bit overboard on the number of images you used for lelouch's page. — S im A nt 02:30, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * We already went over that, i moved that section to the bottom of the page for your ease. — S im A nt 18:41, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because of the issue of copyright and fair use. For example 10 images of different facial expressions is not something that is covered in that. — S im A nt 04:04, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Image gallery
Because those "image galleries" are gross violations of copyright law. That is why i delete the images here that don't have any leg to stand on for fair use rationale. — S im A nt 19:49, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Its not necessary because image galleries shouldn't be that big. — S im A nt 23:52, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

There is an idiot on the wiki
There is an idiot named "Cokealpha" who is deleting page content on the pages of Lancelot Grail, C.C., Kallen, and Code Geass and leaving inappropriate messages on them, no matter how many times I fix them. Please find a way to deal with him as quickly as possible. Eternal Dreamer (talk) 19:28, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

About Carine le Britannia
I was wondering, why does Carine le Britannia have "le" in her name when the katakana spelling clearly gives it as "ne". (This is written on her wiki page itself at the top.) Is there a reason for this discrepency? Eternal Dreamer (talk) 16:31, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

I asked because, in the lastest Oz photo story chapter, Carine makes an appearance, and her name is clearly Carine "ne" Britannia, no "le". (Also, according to the Carine page history, you're the one who first changed the "re" in the katakana spelling to "ne" back in April, so I thought you might know about it.) Anyway, in light of this new Oz chapter, would it be alright to change her wiki page name to Carine ne Britannia? Eternal Dreamer (talk) 13:55, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

On a related note, in an edit on the World History page, you wrote: "We know that Carine is younger than Nunnally and Euphemia is older than Nunnally. We know that Carine is the 5th and Euphemia is the 3rd. The only princess that in between them is the 4th. Therefore Nunnally has to be the 4th." We do know that Carine is fifth, and we do know that Nunnally's and Carine's ages are the same, but, last I checked, we don't know what day Carine was born on. Now, I know that this is the most logical scenario, but at this point, we can't determine if this is actually true. MrSP (talk) 11:51, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

UFN
According to the show, only certain nations from the EU joined the UFN, while the rest remained separate and as part of the EU. (It's mentioned at the end of the last episode that Lelouch "conquered" the EU after he had already defeated the Black Knights and UFN, meaning that they were still around at that point.) As such, I would hesitate to classify the EU as a Federal Government, as each nation within it clearly maintains some independence. Still, I don't know enough about political institutions to say for sure on this topic. Eternal Dreamer (talk) 12:00, August 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, my understanding was that those nations of the EU that did not join the UFN were kept under the control of Britannia. Taking a look here,it seems that while most EU states joined one or the other, a number were left as neutral nations - specifically, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Ukraine, Ireland... and Britain, of all things... (Roughly, a 1/3rd split to the UFN, Britannia, and otherwise by landmass, though the UFN gained many small countries, while Britannia got a few of the biggest.) Of course, this still allows for the EU to be a Federation - definition: a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing states - though, we don't yet really know just how the EU is run, we can safely say that this does not contradict anything we know. In real life, the European Union is considered a "de facto Federation", or "quasi-Federation", as it's concept is appropriate for the term, but they are otherwise seperate nations. Of course, this is true of the UFN itself, as well - Kaguya is Chairwoman, and the UFN is clearly a United Federation of Nations, but this doesn't actually mean that Kaguya can do much without a majority vote from everyone else. She's ultimately just a mediator between separate nations sharing a military force.


 * On a related note, it's very possible that with the Tianzi and Xingke captured, Lelouch maintained control over "core" UFN nations like China, but those on the outer edge joined forces with these neutral nations, returning to being the EU, for the sake of attempting to repel Lelouch. Though this is simply speculation, a lot of nations are going to debate whether or not it's wise to give in or try to combat FLEIJA, and clearly at least some nations formerly of the EU tried to do so, so it's not unreasonable for some UFN nations to do the same before Lelouch was able to reach them.

Wikia's classification of this wiki
I just noticed that wikia has classified this wiki as a video game, as you can see from this image. I'm pretty sure it should be entertainment, but I don't know how one would go about fixing this. Aassdddai  talk  08:06, August 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not really an issue but you just have to use Special:Contact/general and ask for it to be changed — S im A nt 06:54, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope I have not, you pretty much manage the wiki now, I'm just here for advice now :) — S im A nt 20:39, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Blocking
Blocking an ip for a small edit like that is not really doing anything, usually they don't even come back. — S im A nt 23:40, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

Character category
Why does the character category not qualify for the 'World of Code Geass' category? The technology and groups categories qualify.

Why does removing a category require an admin's permission?

Syalantillesfel (talk) 20:50, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Characters
The characters category should have a link to another category to make it easy to find.

Why does removing a category from an article require an admin's permission?

Hey lelouch you know how you said that you can make me a banner well can you do me a favor and make me a banner that says Emulator Encyclopedia and help me post it on a wiki ma du 00:59, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Bureaucrat Rights
So, I was thinking of giving you bureaucrat rights here so that you could run the wiki on your own. But before I do that I would like you to implement an Image Policy to require Fair Use rationale (List source and description and purpose of image) and Licensing. Also in the policy there should be rules about what is overboard usage of images, such as just a different angle of a characters face or a picture of every emotion the character shows. — S im A nt 22:19, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay I modified it slightly, but the point is an image policy is worthless if it is not enforced. I see plenty of images without rationale or licensing (including from you). — S im A nt 17:12, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm? I see one image with licensing but no fair use rationale listing a description, source etc. I was kinda hoping you would tag previous images that were uploaded. — S im A nt 13:21, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * A bot would not be able to determine what is in the image or where it is from or anything about the image for that matter. — S im A nt 13:36, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
