re:Monaco.css logo picture
I will try to do as many as I can, but I need to find good transparent PNGs or other cut outs of each character.

For some reason the logo hasn't updated for me (even though I've done a force refresh), I assume you can see it though.

 * Thats great news, and yes, I can see the logo...TheGreatEye 14:31, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

The logo should be neutral with only the tittle of the site like the other wikia sites, also the with changes done it doesn't redirects to the main page anymore--Lero 16:59, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

GIFS
Hey dude, I think I already asked Miridian this, but i'm trying to get everyone's opinion. What do you think about certain images being replaced by gifs? such as tree diagram being destroyed or Touma dispelling an ability? I got told that each article only needs a single gif each, so are there any in particular that you would wanna see?

---


 * Animated gifs are most appopriate if they are to replace scenes were a lot of action is to take place, when a single frame is not enough to fully grasp an action. Such as Mikoto firing a more powerful version of her Railgun, Touma dispelling an attack (more specifically the second time Touma dispelled Stiyl's fire attack, you know the one from episode 2, where the screen freezes for a moment before Touma closes his hand), how Kaori applies her Nanasen, etc., I think you understand what I'm trying to say here.---TheGreatEye 19:29, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

About those booklets
I've finally uploaded them, you can take a look at them yourself and see if there are any of them useful for the wiki... you can find them here: http://www.mediafire.com/raildex_bdbooklets - Avegaille 12:50, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

General Cleanup
Yo TheGreatEye! I just gave you both Bureaucrat and Admin status. I think you're worthy judging from your contributions and I hope that you continue your good work! :D With that said, I'd like to ask some help from you regarding some details I have been ignoring since I have become the administrator of the Toaru Majutsu no Index wiki. I have worked on the Manual of Style, however, I feel kinda stumped as to which things to touch up on. Any ideas on what to shove in the MoS?

Also, I have noticed that users from 4chan (I know, I know, it's 4chan, but there are also fans of Index there) still do not see our wiki as a viable source of info. I feel like they are challenging us to improve our content, and your tagging of articles is a good start. I wish that there are more contributors who are highly knowledgeable with the Light Novels (like 4chan's js06) who drop by and contribute, though.

Anyway, congrats to our newest administrator and keep up the good work!

 * Indeed, as is the reason why I started making these templates, to alert people that an article still requires work. There is a notable quantity of work before us, before we can be truly trustworthy to the masses.---TheGreatEye 02:35, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good luck to all of us. heraldofmeridian♣ 02:43, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Anime on Twitter
Hello, I'm Kate from the Wikia Content team. We are trying to create a WikiaAnime Twitter group, where all of the amazing wikis can come together and share their most exciting information, and hopefully get a lot of new users! To join, all you need to do is post this Twitter button and tweet list on your main page.



Then you can visit the Anime Twitter Suggestions Page and post tweets you'd like to see, with links back to your wiki.

Please share this with your other members and admins and see if it's something they'd be interested in joining! Let me know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you there!

Highlight of battles
Do you think we could create a page in chronological order of the biggest battles in Academy City? (EX: Skirmish amongst level 5s, and/or magicians) Nonus 00:04, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Why not, but I'd rather have the armed conflicts between 2-3 factions listed down in the entire series not just Academy City. Individual conflicts should be avoided unless it is well known enough in-universe such as the battle between Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku, wherein there were witnesses and was declared as a dangerous situation enough to warrant several Anti-Skill to intervene. ---TheGreatEye 10:14, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Since we want to keep it reasonably small, how about a table: two sides for each of the participants, date of battle, outcome and casualties (if any)? Nonus 18:01, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, add the location as well, also have a summary prepared for each battle. If a conflict is part of an even larger conflict, it should be cited as such. Use this link after the colon to start the page: Timeline of armed conflicts ---TheGreatEye 03:12, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

I have been looking at the story arcs of major battles and some of them, just from the infobox on them is kinda like what you and I are discussing. Any ideas on making it easier or a rough sketch of an idea? Nonus 18:50, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Something like an amalgam of this and this.---TheGreatEye 08:34, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Light Novel Summary Articles
Hey TheGreatEye. I'll currently reading through Volume 15 and I noticed that while I'm filling up the volume article with summaries per chapter, the individual chapter article is still untouched and is practically empty. Should we go and add longer chapter summaries on each chapter article or just take them out and focus the summary on the volume article?

Here are some pros and cons to each side.
 * On chapter summary expansion, there's no need to take away a hundred or so articles and we can focus on each detail while summarizing it. However, this would require a longer period of time because I might have to re-summarize nine whole volumes of the light novels. We are also lacking a chapter infobox of sorts so we need to do that as well.
 * On volume article focus, we can create flawless articles that summarize the entire volume chapter by chapter without having to write a longer summary per chapter, thus the faster option of the two. What happens in this case is that we will need to delete the chapter summaries because we no longer need it in a sense. Plus, I notice that volume articles are already getting pretty long (in my opinion, though).

If you're available, please pitch in your ideas. After I finish working on Volume 15's summary, I'll try to plan for the next move. heraldofmeridian♣ 09:20, August 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was wonder why you were putting all the summaries on the Volume pages, they were really only intended to direct people to the individual Chapters where a more detailed analysis would be located.--Sxerks 14:14, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just figured out that summaries were posted on the Volume articles, so I decided to fill the rest of the volumes with summaries. The individual chapter articles need sprucing up, by the way. heraldofmeridian♣ 14:44, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, can't help you with anything at the moment since I'm really busy in real life and the fact that I can only use the internet a couple of times a week now, among other problems. Currently, I can only edit a few smaller articles from time-to-time.---TheGreatEye 04:24, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page Tweaks
Hola my name is Nic and I'm a of the Wikia Content Team. Just wanted to let you know that your main page needs tweaked so that the right hand column will display a 300x200 ad or a 300x600 ad depending on the situation. The rest of the main page will look as close to the original as possible, except some of the content will be slightly pushed down a little. Let's work together on this to get this issue resolved. - Wagnike2 17:26, October 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Talk to either User:Sxerks or User:Herald_of_meridian regarding this matter---TheGreatEye 07:05, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your work
Thank you for your work on improving the pages I posted recently. I'm not very skilled at editing but, I have seceded in getting the ball rolling on those pages and appreciate your help bringing them up to standers.

 * I too found it difficult to wikify my works at first, but with a little hardwork and a little googling, I have managed to amend that. I suggest you focus on copy-editing and proofreadin your works first before posting/pasting it on article, there are some grammar problems that require repair. Keep up with the work.---TheGreatEye 09:40, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Featured article
Much better, I think. Both of them. Following the biggest online encyclopedia's standards would be a big pain in the ass. If you'd like, we can also make a page that would list the featured articles and the date when they are first featured (which is, of course, locked for edited to everyone that isn't an admin). It would require some backtracking, though. heraldofmeridian♣ 14:30, February 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have prepared for such an eventuality beforehand, keep sight on updates.---TheGreatEye 01:03, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
