Now I'm not sure if we were planning on making an article on them as a group but someone has, I just thought I'd show you all incase we should get it deleted. Its called Digimon Great Angels. Nightmare SE 01:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... I know it is not good to include a digivolution in the card games, and I know Turuiemon hasn't appeared in the "digivice" toy or v-pets.
But I really dont think that he/it is a cannon because of Turuiemon's similarity to Gargomon, as well as the three little horns on Cocomon, Kokomon, Lopmon and Antylamon. Okay, Wendigomon has 3 big horns too.
Just want to share my view. I hope that Turuiemon will be in Lopmon's line in Sunburst/Moonlight. =) Kennethayes 06:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
"IceLeomon is the often given in the American series because it is easier to remember for younger fans." Isn't this a clear admission that the name is wrong? It might not be actually wrong, though - I think I remember IceLeomon being the name that Frontier uses. Either IceLeomon should be removed, if it is wrong, or the note should be changed from "Panjyamon is the correct name" to "Panjyamon is the Bandai name" just like Creepymon is the Bandai name. KrytenKoro 07:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Should the Tags and Crests have their own page? The new page could include the name of the Crest, the owner of the Crest, the place where the Crest was found, and the special attributes the Crest has. As of right now, is you type "Crests (Digimon)" in the seach, it redirects you to the "Digimon Adventure" article.-- Mmmundo 22:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
So whats goin on with this, have we made any progress?-- Mmmundo 23:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Through out many of the Digimon articles there are many commonly used words (such as: Digimon, DigiDestined, Digivolve, Digivice, Digital World, Real World and many others) that should be capitalized, but are not. I am trying to go through as many Digimon articles as I can but I would greatly appreciate the help. There is a list of many commonly uncapitalized words that should be capitalized (please feel free to add on to this list): Digimon, Digivice, Digivolve, Digital World, Real World, DigiDestined, Crest of (Crest name)-- Mmmundo 03:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
This might not be the best place to ask this but it is driving me crazy! Can someone please post a list of all the canon things (Games, CD Dramas, Movies, Seasons, etc.) in the Digimon Adventure and Adventure 02 universe!? I have been to many places looking for this information but I keep getting different information everywhere (I feel that if I know this information I can better help with the editing of the Digimon articles). I just need a clarification please. Also what is the Dark Ocean or Dark World, or whatever you call it? Please dont answer if you dont know for sure. I appreciate any help that you can give me.-- Mmmundo 02:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I have some good news today, the first cast member and director for the Digimon Savers dub has been confirmed, we will have Steven Blum voicing Falcomon and Jeff Nimoy returns as the director.
Source: http://withthewill.net/index.php?topic=2954.0 godofchaos is a very reliable source in that he personally knows Jeff Nimoy. So do what needs to be done with this new info, and when more arises, I will keep you up on it.-- Amigobro2 00:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
is it d'Arcmon or D'Arcmon on the cards / official publishings? Kennethayes 19:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I have one simple question: Should titles (e.g., Digimon Adventure, Digimon Tamers, etc.) be italicized in Digimon articles? Because they largely aren’t. — Frungi 01:27, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
I know that Duftmon Leopard Mode only appears on cards - I'm pretty sure that's the main appearance for the others, though they may appear on certain d-pets.
As for the pictures, most of them can be found on http://digipedia.db-destiny.net/, though others can usually be found just by searching google. KrytenKoro 18:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

The template {{ Digimonimage}} is going to be deleted in one week. Before then, a group of people needs to go through each image that uses the template and replace it with either {{ Non-free television screenshot}} or {{ Non-free game screenshot}}, depending on whether the image comes from the game or from the TV series. Other applicable non-free templates that may be necessary are listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content/templates. If categorization of these images is desired, add ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Digimon media to them. The reason this template is being deleted is because it does not make a distinction between the source of the various screenshots, which is mandatory. Non-free image tags categorize images by type, not by subject matter. If, within seven days, not all of the images have had their tags fixed, they may end up being deleted when they are found without any valid claim of fair use on them, so get cracking! And enlist your friends to help in this move as necessary. -- Cyde Weys 21:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
C'mon guys, more work needs to be made on this front; you only have four days left. -- Cyde Weys 17:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I started the substituting so that only the category will be left. This of course makes tons of Digimon images without any licensing tags, but it's a bit of a moot point since {{ Digimonimage}} really wasn't a licensing tag, and many of these images don't even have fair use rationales. I'll go through as many as I can myself to put the correct tags in, but a great deal of them don't specify a source (which is a problem all on it's own). It's doubtful that we'll get to all of the images before some are deleted, but for many of them it might just be easier to start from scratch (that way we'll at least know the source for many of these). -- Ned Scott 02:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Since this will be such a big task, I've updated {{ WikiProject DIGI}} to now contain a notice about the image situation. In addition to updating tags we will also be striving to pass all parts of WP:NFCC. I've started a basic instruction page to help everyone out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Digimon/Images. Right now it's sort of a rough draft, so feel free to help improve the image instructions page. -- Ned Scott 06:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm curious as to why these do not have their own article; they were a very major aspect of the second season (Digimon Adventure 2). If enough can't be said for their own article, then maybe they should be inserted as a subsection in another with a redirect page created.

There seems to be duplicates of a latest video game. I propose a rather complicated move in that would both Digimon Savers: Another Mission and Digimon World Data Squad NEW! be merged into a new title as Digimon World: Data Squad based on what it seems to be called.

Someone added this Digimon yesterday to the master list, it sounds fake, while Coredramon has recently been confirmed as Dracomon's Champion form, so either Dracomon has two Champion forms or FighterDracomon is fake. Nightmare SE 11:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
A great number of Digimon images are tagged for deletion, see Special:Recentchangeslinked/Category:Digimon media. I'd jump right on in myself, but for a great many of them I'd almost prefer to use another image. For example, while it might look nicer to have a single image of each character alone, I think it would be better to have an image showing them with their Digimon. We have about a week to add fair use rationales to the images before they're deleted. For more information don't forget to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Digimon/Images. I'll try to help with what I can, but like I said, I'm not sure if it's a big deal for some of those images. -- Ned Scott 05:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I finally managed to find a clear enough picture of Mimi's Analyzer screen to translate it (no thanks to the request I had put up on her talk page).
太刀川ミミ
人間: 選ばれし子供
得意技: 乙女の投げキッス
必殺技: ウ○チつかみ
it translates to
Tachikawa Mimi
Human: Chosen Child
Winning Technique: Maiden's Blown Kiss
Special Move: ウ○チ grab
No online translator understands uuchi, and when I search on google, I can't figure out any consistent meaning of it.

Thanks! KrytenKoro
Where did the term "Future Mode" come from? The card's name translates as UlForceVdramon Super-Ultimate - is Future Mode used in the manga, or is it just a recognizable fan-term? KrytenKoro 02:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
I have access to about 45 or so toei pics that the digimon articles are missing (d-reaper agents, sovereigns, armor digimon, spirit digimon etc.), but I am horrible at correctly sourcing them. I've talked to McFeely before, and apparently he's fine with me copying those images (I'll e-mail him again, just to be sure), but basically, I need someone to e-mail the images to who can turn them back into image format - right now, they're copied into an MS word document.
I also have some of them like ModokiBetamon, the Betamon recolor, and it's not actually fan-art - it's a real pic.
So, if anyone who knows how to do the sourcing bit correctly can give me their e-mail (on my talk page, if you want), I'll send over the document with all the images.
Thanks! KrytenKoro 07:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Blanked by user Trainra 08:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
I have Baihumon, Ebonwumon, Zhuqaiomon, Azulongmon, Pteramon, Kongoumon, Flybeemon, Depthmon, GranKuwagamon, ToyAgumon, Susanoomon (no watermark), EmperorGreymon, MagnaGarurumon, Bearmon, Kotemon (better quality), the short locomon pic (just the digimon, not the cars), Worm the Trailmon, Pichimon, and better pics of Moonmon and Sunmon (from the Digimon Twin website).
For recolor digimon: Meteormon, Icemon, ModokiBetamon, BlackGrowlmon, BlackWereGarurumon (better quality), BlackGargomon, BlackRapidmon, Psychemon, SnowAgumon, MegaKabuterimon (Data), Greymon (Virus), Gallantmon (Chaos Mode), Panjyamon, and WarGrowlmon (Vaccine).
As far as I can tell, you guys have none of those, or at least, they aren't on that digimon's page.
My e-mail is my username <at> hotmail.com, so since I guess it wouldn't be smart for people to put their address here, just send me a message and I'll send the document to anyone that wants it. KrytenKoro 09:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Apparently, the other guy keeps seeing grammatical errors that require full reverts to fix. I keep having to reverse these reverts, because after exhaustive comparisons EACH TIME he does this, I still can't see any improvements - in fact, almost every one of his changes seems to introduce grammatical and spelling errors.
I've asked the guy repeatedly not to do full reverts, and I've even outlined on his talk page why I have a problem with each one of his changes that I reversed. It's a very long list.
I don't know - maybe it's possible that I just have a fundamentally flawed understanding of grammar and the MoS and summarization guidelines - maybe I'm wrong.
So, because I don't want to be blocked due to some revert war, I'm asking other members of the project to look at the page and see what decision they can come to.
I've tried to do my best on that page - I'm not going to be entering the current dispute again, unless no one else wants to help solve it - of course, trying to mediate between yourself and someone else is damned hard.
So...I'm leaving that article alone for now, I've done all I can think to do on it, someone else please take over now.
Thank you for your time, and good knight*. KrytenKoro 19:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
It's quite obvious that the root word is Ornith, meaning bird, and this is how the name was originally translated. I don't remember how they pronounced it in the dub, though, but Onis just seems wrong.
Does anyone know for sure? KrytenKoro 09:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Onismon Trainra 08:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Akiyoshi Hongo seems to be somewhat of a hoax. The article on him, and the occasional reference to him in the Digimon articles, state that he is the creator of the Digimon concept. I've recalled others removing bits mentioning him, citing the reason as a hoax. His own article contains no references, and nothing seems to be able to be found. Sounds like something we need to look into. First, what works, if any at all, credit this name? -- Ned Scott 21:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Many of the digidestined pages are named such that they treat the nickname like the given name - this is most egregious for Izzy's page, since his nickname is actually based on his last name ("Izzy Izumi" is just...wrong). We should move these to personal name "nickname" surname, or just personal name surname to prevent confusion. For some of these (Sora, Mimi, Rika), no move would be necessary. KrytenKoro 19:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
It seems that many of the profiles on the lists of Digimon are word-for-word what is said on the Digimon Encyclopedia. Now, Chris has said on his site that he participates on Wikipedia, so these may be with his blessing - if this is true, then please tell me. Otherwise, we need to make sure we obtain his blessing on all of these, because if he doesn't know about this, then it's pretty un-kosher. KrytenKoro 20:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
User:Jadenik has been adding a lot of information from the Digimon's "official profiles" - if this is from the official websites, as I assume it is, then we need to make sure to source it, so that we don't run into possible plagiarism or copyright violations.
And this should apply to pretty much all of the bio info that isn't synthesized from the plot of the shows and games. "Digimon Analyzer" info, Internet profiles, etc. KrytenKoro 20:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
A while ago, I updated the Pokemon and Digimon section, pointing out that Digimon tends to borrow more from the Mecha/Super Robo genre and pointed out several mecha references. This was removed for what is currently in place. I thought my addition was a good bit of Information, coul;d anyone inform me why it wasn't such a good addition to the article? Granis 00:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Can we have something somewhere explaining what this does? It can be part of the "Digimon items" article, or an article about the Digital World.
Anyway - to help, here's what I know:
KrytenKoro 19:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed a lot of Digimon have nicknames such as "The Crow of Silver" and stuff, especially the Royal Knights ("The Golden Knight", "The Knight of Loyalty", "The Knight of Balance", "The Knight of Passion", "The Knight of Indifference"). Should we consider adding a "Nickname" or "Title" part of the infobox template? KrytenKoro 04:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay, we've got the main character thing figured out, but I'd like some help on the secondary character bits. What I'm thinking is that for any Digimon who has a suitably large section under the season header on their entry, we move that text to the appropriate "List of characters" page, and then leave a (main): Digimon (Season) link. For example, Zhuqaoimon has a nice little section under "Digimon Tamers" that would work better on the character page, since it is obviously a character. Since these lists are for the species, not specific members that are characters, this should fall well in line with the setup. (Technically, Zhuqaiomon would go under Digimon Sovereigns, but you get my point)
We also need to trim stuff like "His skill "Terra Force" costs 40MP and is an single-enemy attack. It is the strongest skill for no-property digimon, if counting the damage points only." or the Card Battle specifics, since they are pure gamecruft, and their meaning isn't even explained to the reader.
Also, we should make sure that we are appropriately citing everything - all I can do right now is the evolutions
since I don't know which website people are getting all of the "It is said" stuff from - those need to be cited too. If something comes from a Digimon Analyzer/D-Arc/Bokomon's Book screen, by all means we should include it, but it still needs to be cited
Finally, we should use the standard (Ja:) and (En:) bits for voice actors, or for anything that differs between the two version in the infobox. And make sure we are using the series correct name, such as Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, instead of just V-Tamer (V-Tamer 01, for short in the "Appears" bit, or in-paragraph).
Thanks! KrytenKoro 17:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I know this is probably going to sound old to you guys, but the official dictionary still spells it "Neptunemon". KrytenKoro 20:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm currently rereading V-Tamer 01 for citations and relevant/interesting info. I'll post what I've got below, so that editors who are more familar with the appropriate articles will know where and how to insert them. Thanks! KrytenKoro
User:KrytenKoro/V-Tamer_01_Notes
I've got a question - how explicit does an evolution need to be? For example - we have Kuramon>Tsumemon>Keramon>?>Infermon>Diablomon from the second movie. In Tamers, we get Chrysalimon>Infermon>Diablomon, and in Data Squad, we get Keramon>Chrysalimon. So my question is - would the Tamers Chrysali>Infer be enough to say Kera>Chrysali - could we use the Tamers ref on that evolution? Or in a similar situation - Lopmon (Tamers) digivolves to Antylamon (Deva), and Turuiemon digivolves to Antylamon (Deva). Can we use the Turuiemon>Antylamon citation to cite the Lopmon (T)>Turuiemon? It's clear from the various sources that it is an acceptable digivolution - but what do we use to cite it?
In a similar situation, Daemon>Daemon SU - it never actually shows Daemon digivolving - just Arkadimon U mutating into Daemon SU. How do we cite this?
I suppose a compromise that would keep the citations making sense is to only cite the ones that actually happen, but leave uncited the ones that are made clear by others (Lop>?>Antyla and Turuie>Antyla makes Lop>Turuie clear as well). What do you guys think? KrytenKoro 08:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
After the big reorganisation of the Digimon articles I realised that the three categories "Digimon articles in need of expansion", "Digimon stubs" and "Digimon articles in need of images" are no longer needed. Thus we should delete them (which is already proposed for Digimon stubs). Diabound 09:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
I have edited List of Digimon to be formatted and readable ( see my revision here). My edit was reverted to the previous unformatted version, with the reasoning "Your way makes the page ultra long though, so what's wrong with the way it is?". The list is ultra-long, but I would like to point out that I did not create any of these Digimon, so please blame Namco-Bandai for this problem. It is pointless to have a list of anything if it is not readable and navigable. I have no interest in edit warring on this. I leave it up to the project, as it's your list anyway. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 07:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I really liked JohnnyMrNinja's version. -- Ned Scott 19:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
I could really use some help getting List of characters in Digimon Tamers up to snuff. Most of the humans are sentence fragments, and I need help determining which Digimon should be considered paragraph-worthy characters. Thanks! KrytenKoro 06:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
We also need to make an effort to go through the lists, and move the info for Digimon who have enough presence to be characters to the characters lists, and leaving "main article" links in their place, and remove the little blurbs where main article links are. KrytenKoro 06:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Is it just me, or do they look very similar? -- Raijinili 21:31, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

We have about a week to add fair use rationales to the images before they're deleted. For more information don't forget to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Digimon/Images. I'll try to help with what I can, but like I said, I'm not sure if it's a big deal for some of those images. -- Ned Scott 05:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I finally managed to find a clear enough picture of Mimi's Analyzer screen to translate it (no thanks to the request I had put up on her talk page).
太刀川ミミ
人間: 選ばれし子供
得意技: 乙女の投げキッス
必殺技: ウ○チつかみ
it translates to
Tachikawa Mimi
Human: Chosen Child
Winning Technique: Maiden's Blown Kiss
Special Move: ウ○チ grab
No online translator understands uuchi, and when I search on google, I can't figure out any consistent meaning of it.

Where did the term "Future Mode" come from? The card's name translates as UlForceVdramon Super-Ultimate - is Future Mode used in the manga, or is it just a recognizable fan-term? KrytenKoro 02:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
I have access to about 45 or so toei pics that the digimon articles are missing (d-reaper agents, sovereigns, armor digimon, spirit digimon etc.), but I am horrible at correctly sourcing them. I've talked to McFeely before, and apparently he's fine with me copying those images (I'll e-mail him again, just to be sure), but basically, I need someone to e-mail the images to who can turn them back into image format - right now, they're copied into an MS word document.
I also have some of them like ModokiBetamon, the Betamon recolor, and it's not actually fan-art - it's a real pic.
So, if anyone who knows how to do the sourcing bit correctly can give me their e-mail (on my talk page, if you want), I'll send over the document with all the images.
Thanks! KrytenKoro 07:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I have Baihumon, Ebonwumon, Zhuqaiomon, Azulongmon, Pteramon, Kongoumon, Flybeemon, Depthmon, GranKuwagamon, ToyAgumon, Susanoomon (no watermark), EmperorGreymon, MagnaGarurumon, Bearmon, Kotemon (better quality), the short locomon pic (just the digimon, not the cars), Worm the Trailmon, Pichimon, and better pics of Moonmon and Sunmon (from the Digimon Twin website).
For recolor digimon: Meteormon, Icemon, ModokiBetamon, BlackGrowlmon, BlackWereGarurumon (better quality), BlackGargomon, BlackRapidmon, Psychemon, SnowAgumon, MegaKabuterimon (Data), Greymon (Virus), Gallantmon (Chaos Mode), Panjyamon, and WarGrowlmon (Vaccine).
As far as I can tell, you guys have none of those, or at least, they aren't on that digimon's page.
My e-mail is my username <at> hotmail.com, so since I guess it wouldn't be smart for people to put their address here, just send me a message and I'll send the document to anyone that wants it. KrytenKoro 09:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Apparently, the other guy keeps seeing grammatical errors that require full reverts to fix. I keep having to reverse these reverts, because after exhaustive comparisons EACH TIME he does this, I still can't see any improvements - in fact, almost every one of his changes seems to introduce grammatical and spelling errors.
I've asked the guy repeatedly not to do full reverts, and I've even outlined on his talk page why I have a problem with each one of his changes that I reversed. It's a very long list.
I don't know - maybe it's possible that I just have a fundamentally flawed understanding of grammar and the MoS and summarization guidelines - maybe I'm wrong.
So, because I don't want to be blocked due to some revert war, I'm asking other members of the project to look at the page and see what decision they can come to.
I've tried to do my best on that page - I'm not going to be entering the current dispute again, unless no one else wants to help solve it - of course, trying to mediate between yourself and someone else is damned hard.
So...I'm leaving that article alone for now, I've done all I can think to do on it, someone else please take over now.
Thank you for your time, and good knight*. KrytenKoro 19:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
It's quite obvious that the root word is Ornith, meaning bird, and this is how the name was originally translated. I don't remember how they pronounced it in the dub, though, but Onis just seems wrong.
Does anyone know for sure? KrytenKoro 09:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Akiyoshi Hongo seems to be somewhat of a hoax. The article on him, and the occasional reference to him in the Digimon articles, state that he is the creator of the Digimon concept. I've recalled others removing bits mentioning him, citing the reason as a hoax. His own article contains no references, and nothing seems to be able to be found. Sounds like something we need to look into. First, what works, if any at all, credit this name? -- Ned Scott 21:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Many of the digidestined pages are named such that they treat the nickname like the given name - this is most egregious for Izzy's page, since his nickname is actually based on his last name ("Izzy Izumi" is just...wrong). We should move these to personal name "nickname" surname, or just personal name surname to prevent confusion. For some of these (Sora, Mimi, Rika), no move would be necessary. KrytenKoro 19:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
It seems that many of the profiles on the lists of Digimon are word-for-word what is said on the Digimon Encyclopedia. Now, Chris has said on his site that he participates on Wikipedia, so these may be with his blessing - if this is true, then please tell me. Otherwise, we need to make sure we obtain his blessing on all of these, because if he doesn't know about this, then it's pretty un-kosher. KrytenKoro 20:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
User:Jadenik has been adding a lot of information from the Digimon's "official profiles" - if this is from the official websites, as I assume it is, then we need to make sure to source it, so that we don't run into possible plagiarism or copyright violations.
And this should apply to pretty much all of the bio info that isn't synthesized from the plot of the shows and games. "Digimon Analyzer" info, Internet profiles, etc. KrytenKoro 20:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
A while ago, I updated the Pokemon and Digimon section, pointing out that Digimon tends to borrow more from the Mecha/Super Robo genre and pointed out several mecha references. This was removed for what is currently in place. I thought my addition was a good bit of Information, coul;d anyone inform me why it wasn't such a good addition to the article? Granis 00:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Can we have something somewhere explaining what this does? It can be part of the "Digimon items" article, or an article about the Digital World.
Anyway - to help, here's what I know:
KrytenKoro 19:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed a lot of Digimon have nicknames such as "The Crow of Silver" and stuff, especially the Royal Knights ("The Golden Knight", "The Knight of Loyalty", "The Knight of Balance", "The Knight of Passion", "The Knight of Indifference"). Should we consider adding a "Nickname" or "Title" part of the infobox template? KrytenKoro 04:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay, we've got the main character thing figured out, but I'd like some help on the secondary character bits. What I'm thinking is that for any Digimon who has a suitably large section under the season header on their entry, we move that text to the appropriate "List of characters" page, and then leave a (main): Digimon (Season) link. For example, Zhuqaoimon has a nice little section under "Digimon Tamers" that would work better on the character page, since it is obviously a character. Since these lists are for the species, not specific members that are characters, this should fall well in line with the setup. (Technically, Zhuqaiomon would go under Digimon Sovereigns, but you get my point)
We also need to trim stuff like "His skill "Terra Force" costs 40MP and is an single-enemy attack. It is the strongest skill for no-property digimon, if counting the damage points only." or the Card Battle specifics, since they are pure gamecruft, and their meaning isn't even explained to the reader.
Also, we should make sure that we are appropriately citing everything - all I can do right now is the evolutions
since I don't know which website people are getting all of the "It is said" stuff from - those need to be cited too. If something comes from a Digimon Analyzer/D-Arc/Bokomon's Book screen, by all means we should include it, but it still needs to be cited
Finally, we should use the standard (Ja:) and (En:) bits for voice actors, or for anything that differs between the two version in the infobox. And make sure we are using the series correct name, such as Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, instead of just V-Tamer (V-Tamer 01, for short in the "Appears" bit, or in-paragraph).
Thanks! KrytenKoro 17:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I know this is probably going to sound old to you guys, but the official dictionary still spells it "Neptunemon". KrytenKoro 20:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm currently rereading V-Tamer 01 for citations and relevant/interesting info. I'll post what I've got below, so that editors who are more familar with the appropriate articles will know where and how to insert them. Thanks! KrytenKoro
User:KrytenKoro/V-Tamer_01_Notes
I've got a question - how explicit does an evolution need to be? For example - we have Kuramon>Tsumemon>Keramon>?>Infermon>Diablomon from the second movie. In Tamers, we get Chrysalimon>Infermon>Diablomon, and in Data Squad, we get Keramon>Chrysalimon. So my question is - would the Tamers Chrysali>Infer be enough to say Kera>Chrysali - could we use the Tamers ref on that evolution? Or in a similar situation - Lopmon (Tamers) digivolves to Antylamon (Deva), and Turuiemon digivolves to Antylamon (Deva). Can we use the Turuiemon>Antylamon citation to cite the Lopmon (T)>Turuiemon? It's clear from the various sources that it is an acceptable digivolution - but what do we use to cite it?
In a similar situation, Daemon>Daemon SU - it never actually shows Daemon digivolving - just Arkadimon U mutating into Daemon SU. How do we cite this?
I suppose a compromise that would keep the citations making sense is to only cite the ones that actually happen, but leave uncited the ones that are made clear by others (Lop>?>Antyla and Turuie>Antyla makes Lop>Turuie clear as well). What do you guys think? KrytenKoro 08:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
After the big reorganisation of the Digimon articles I realised that the three categories "Digimon articles in need of expansion", "Digimon stubs" and "Digimon articles in need of images" are no longer needed. Thus we should delete them (which is already proposed for Digimon stubs). Diabound 09:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
I have edited List of Digimon to be formatted and readable ( see my revision here). My edit was reverted to the previous unformatted version, with the reasoning "Your way makes the page ultra long though, so what's wrong with the way it is?". The list is ultra-long, but I would like to point out that I did not create any of these Digimon, so please blame Namco-Bandai for this problem. It is pointless to have a list of anything if it is not readable and navigable. I have no interest in edit warring on this. I leave it up to the project, as it's your list anyway. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 07:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I really liked JohnnyMrNinja's version. -- Ned Scott 19:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
I could really use some help getting List of characters in Digimon Tamers up to snuff. Most of the humans are sentence fragments, and I need help determining which Digimon should be considered paragraph-worthy characters. Thanks! KrytenKoro 06:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
We also need to make an effort to go through the lists, and move the info for Digimon who have enough presence to be characters to the characters lists, and leaving "main article" links in their place, and remove the little blurbs where main article links are. KrytenKoro 06:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Is it just me, or do they look very similar? -- Raijinili 21:31, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
