Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more, Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly, Tutorial is more in-depth, and Topical index is exhaustive. The following links might also come in handy: Glossary FAQ Help Manual of Style Five Pillars of Wikipedia Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English and Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Help desk.

Hey
I've been working on merges (air vehicles, aquatic vehicles, starfighters, support craft, capital ships, and probably cargo ships) to reduce cruft and make everything organized, with main template links to fleshed-out articles (X-Wing, AT-AT, and so on). I do like the idea of having all vehicles on one page for even easier access. Even though we have redirect pages, it is always nice to have everything in one place even with multiple lists.

 * Nice work on the template; we can also do this for the Rebels as well. I added a see also list for the general vehicles lists. Deckiller 23:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Help on Broly article?
I know he's not everyone's favorite, but being the focal point in three movies does count for something. His page is a complete mess, and since the beginning of this month I've been trying to improve it. It's slow, but I've been meeting with some success. It's just that there's so much garbage there I'm getting bogged down. I'm midway through the first movie in the synopsis now.

This is the new name for the formerly anonymous me at 24.162.17.96 if you're curious. Guess I'm easily susceptible to suggestion. ^_^; Voice of Treason 18:19, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll help you out with it. Be warned, I remember alot of flak from ravenous fanboys last time. Beowulph 00:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Third opinions wanted
I'm going to various contibuting editors to DragonBall articles to receive help and third opinions on a dispute between Zarbon and myself on the List of Frieza Related Characters in Dragon Ball. And lucky, lucky, you just so happen to be one. ^_^ Any input/discussion on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Papacha 15:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Hooray, I win! ...I think. Beowulph 15:08, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You signed on before I could fix my typo, darn it all. Tch.


 * For a consolation prize, imagine me being in a headbutt contest w/ a wall for the past few hours, with the wall winning by the slightest of margins. Oy friggin' dos fraggin' mio. Papacha 15:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

*pause for effect* Hey yo~!
I've noticed some of the work you've been doing in the (long) uphill battle of making some of the Dragonball Z pages halfway decent. Just wanted to let you know it's not going unappreciated.

I've been through some wear and tear myself lately, and through those efforts these are some of the noteworthy DBZ pages I've heavily contributed to or created.


 * 1) Cell (Dragon Ball)
 * 2) Coola
 * 3) Big Gete Star
 * 4) Freeza
 * 5) Garlic Junior
 * 6) Ginyu Force
 * 7) List of Freeza Related Characters in Dragon Ball
 * 8) Tullece

If you like, feel free to give me your opinions (read: praise) on what was done, and give me your thoughts on ways these articles could be improved in the future. Papacha 12:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:TenshinhanBuu.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:TenshinhanBuu.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ReyBrujo 04:19, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The new DBZ game on the PS2 provides detailed description for every character in the game. In Tenshinhan's description it states that Tenshinhan comes from an unknown alien race, which explains his third eye and his ability to "divide" himself. In Chaozu's description it says that he's some sort of Vampire (I don't remember exactly what kind) and hence his pale pigmentation. Therefore according to the game none of those two is human. I'm not sure whether you can find this information in the series or in the manga, so far the game is my only source. Hakkinen 16:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Your list IS worthwhile despite some deletionsists' point of view
The list (dragon ball puns) you created is/was up for deletion. I want you to know there is a place for it: http://wikitistics.com. No one will be able to nominate it for deletion because it fits one simple rule: it's a statistic, list, or figure. Good luck with your endeavors!Joe 02:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment..
Why did you remove ";Chonoryoku (Psychokinesis)" from Piccolo Jr.'s technique list? I added at the bottom of the sentence that it was an "anime only" move. Now I'm not sure how Piccolo Junior captured Gohan in the manga (If memory serves me right, he just grabbed him), but in the anime, young Gohan was magically lifted by a Psychic ability, likely "Chonoryoku". Please explain to me why you want it removed SO BADLY?... ... ... !Dragonball1986 03:56 pm, 06 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I never removed it, I put it at the bottom of the page denoted for non-manga abilities. Beowulph 06:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

backslash vs. slash
Hello, I moved User:Beowulph\Abusive users to keep an eye on to User:Beowulph/Abusive users to keep an eye on. Backslashes do not work at all in subpages; subpages must use forward slash to be correctly recognised. Hope this helps! =) Since that particular subpage also appears to be listed on MfD, I will not remove the redirect right now for the sake of clarity, but I recommend requesting its speedy deletion once that's done. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Notice: A fellow user
A User:Zhahzha has been placing orphan tags on several Dragon Ball related images that are in current use. I'll revert this person's doings as soon as I'm done here, but I need you or any other Wikipedians to warn this person. Power level (Dragon Ball) 17:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
