I quite like the Lexington picture on the main page, but the background seemed a bit too... obvious. I had a go at making the background transparent (which basically involved hacking at it until there wasn't any more background I could see, then blurring the edges so that it didn't look absolutely rubbish). It's a bit amateurish, but if we prefer a transparent background we could maybe get someone else to do a proper job of it. Compare: [[Main Page]] and [[User:Supermorff/Main]]. What do you think? -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 13:06, 25 May 2008 (CDT)

:I'm really fine either way, but both you and [[User:Dtaina|D Taina]] seem to like the transparency, so thats fine. I think D Taina should do one of her miracle jobs on as she suggested at [[User talk:Supermorff]]. Get rid of the fuzziness at the top of your picture, edit out Coldstone, make it all pretty and such. D Taina, you up for that? -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 04:47, 26 May 2008 (CDT)

Revision as of 02:47, 26 May 2008

Dave was actually in there in the TV version of "The Journey", but not the comic. Greg told me the comic version is canon, not the TV version, so Dave comes out.

As for Taro... Greg revealed that in a chat session several years ago.

Hey Matt, I was thinking, and you can probably help me with this. I would like to expand on the timeline to really include exact dates, like Greg occasionally provides. Was wondering if you'd be interested in helping out. I've got a few for "The Reckoning" thanks to the Radio Play script.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye out for dates and edit accordingly. I've already done this a bit where I could, but I think you are right and we can do better on the timeline. Anything else you want to do?

Also, I havn't done much work here in a while and had a question: Are we no longer putting canon-in-training stuff in bold letters? Has something changed? Articles like the "Scone Clan" used to be entirely bold and now they are not, is that because they are part of the c-i-t category now? what about articles like "Hudson" that contain both canon and c-i-t material? Are we still bolding there?

In Canon entries, "Canon-in-training" material is bold. In "Canon-in-training" entries, they're not bold.

So, Scone Clan would not be bold. But "Demona will have two more great loves" would be bold.

I agree, "Future Tense" was all a nightmarish fantasy.

Looking very good. I'll think of a place for the "Future Tense" dates.

I'm currently asking Greg to clarify a couple of dates.


Appearances sections

I looked up how to implement columns, and I added some to David Xanatos (I've said as much at Talk:Appearences Section). It's simple markup, although it might be worth making a bit more complicated in order to prettify it. To be honest, none of the Appearances sections you and Greg have added look outrageously long, except for the Xanatos one and maybe the Demona one as well. But it's something to keep in mind if we need it later. Oh, and well done again for getting all that done. -- Supermorff 14:55, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Thanks. I wonder though. If you'll look at the Sections for some of the main characters (Goliath, Elisa, Brooklyn, etc.) you'll see how I avoided making a long list. I'm wondering if your columns are a better solution and less confusing and choatic. Of course, they'll only keep getting bigger and bigger hopefully so I dunno. -- Matt 15:01, 31 December 2007 (CST)
If we work out a sensible format, I'd probably prefer listing all the appropriate episodes on every page, but I don't think my simple columns are quite there yet. If space is an issue, we could make things look really, really small. That'd save space. I think we need to even up the widths of the columns, but I haven't figured out how to do that just yet. For now, I'm very happy with the way you've set them out already. -- Supermorff 15:08, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Bronx

hehe, yeah I know. I copy and pasted Goliath's episode list and modified it and I didn't catch that. I was just about to edit it, but you beat me to it ;)--PGFish 15:44, 5 January 2008 (CST)

We all cover each others backs around here. Thanks! -- Matt 15:45, 5 January 2008 (CST)
