簡易調合レシピ１  C11:  Simple Compound Recipes 1   C14: Simple Compounding Recipe 1

I think that I will take the best of both worlds and go with 'Simple Compounding Recipes 1', since 'Recipes' implies that it provides more than one. 'Compounding' is more correct as well. I'll go ahead and make the edit, because I think that you will agree with my change. Thank you. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 02:52, 27 August 2014 (CDT)

Yep, sounds great. And now I'll head off to bed, I'll aim for a double release tomorrow o3o - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca#top|talk]]) 03:51, 27 August 2014 (CDT)

How do you guys feel about contractions? As in like changing "What is" into "What's" etc. Japanese usually breaks English up when its translated, so should we re-contract them? [[User:KuroInfinity|KuroInfinity]] ([[User talk:KuroInfinity|talk]]) 07:47, 27 August 2014

I like reading them un-contracted usually, but that's just my reference (same with all the sfx o3o) - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca#top|talk]]) 00:57, 28 August 2014 (CDT)

Hmmm... is it okay if I just do the ones that sound weird to me? Don't worry about the sfx though, I'll leave those alone. --[[User:KuroInfinity|Kuro]] ([[User talk:KuroInfinity|talk]]) 22:53, 28 August 2014 (CDT)

'inside one of the ditches[14] on my shield.' in chapter 15.   How about 'slots' since that is what it looks like to me in the illustration. And it would also confuse nobody and thus we can remove the TL note. How does that sound? [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 12:29, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

Also, I noticed in this last chapter that you used 'Oyaji' the the entire chapter. You know if you want to you can just completely refer to him that way the entire novel. Consistency is a good thing too. I'll let you think about it. Also Kuro has been changing Pop to Pops lately as well. So now it is even more important to set a standard. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 17:38, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

I've been thinking of changing it all to Oyaji instead of Pop/Pops since I like the sound of oyaji better while Pops makes me think of Pepsi. What do you guys think about this? (posted the same message on Reiji's talk, just want one her for reference.) - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca#top|talk]]) 17:51, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

As someone who likes the Japanese language, although I don't study it,(I try sometimes, but I'm not cut out for the kanji/grammar hurdle) I believe I am biased on the matter, but I like 'Oyaji'. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 17:57, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

It was 'Erst', but I was meaning to get into more detail on that subject. There's another translator that used 'Air Strike'(a translator on Beast's Lair) and another one that used 'Instant'(on the Tate wikia page) エア can mean Air, and スト can be Strike, according to Rikaisama, however I do not know how that other translator got Instant from エアスト. It is hard to say what it really is without any context as to what it does. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 18:08, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

It was on chapter 8 [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 18:19, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

I need you to write a new TL note for the first appearance of the name Oyaji on chapter 4. Also, I had to make some bigger changes to chapter 8 because of the usage of stuff like: 'the old Pop' So it may seem a bit odd. I just didn't want to keep 'the old Oyaji' or something like that, seemed weird to me considering the nickname. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 18:47, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

Alpaca-kaichou!! Can you check over my check on chapter 7? I re-worded some things, and some parts confused me a bit. --[[User:KuroInfinity|Kuro]] ([[User talk:KuroInfinity|talk]]) 19:45, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

Roger that. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 20:27, 29 August 2014 (CDT)

While editing Ch.8 noticed this. It says that Naofumi Lv. UP-ed to level 2 but at the end of ch.5 he already leveled up... shouldn't he be at lv.3 or what? --[[User:KuroInfinity|Kuro]] ([[User talk:KuroInfinity|talk]]) 00:20, 30 August 2014 (CDT)

“Air Shield!”

The first skill I learned. This skill summons a shield with a range of five-meter approximately. 

So.. did the author forget about the existence of Air Bash being his first skill. Or does he mean first 'useful' skill? PS: I have added the shields and the new village name from chapter 16 to the terminology page[[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 12:13, 30 August 2014 (CDT)

Ah, yes. I should have known. And sorry about missing the asterisks. ahaha [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 12:49, 30 August 2014 (CDT)

It is erst(first in German) shield, since later he gain skill of "second shield", which effect same like erst, basically same skill with different cooldown
Also, Demi-human sounds more acceptable than subhuman, and beastman(at least kanji wise) than mutant [[User:Chryrst|Chryrst]] ([[User talk:Chryrst|talk]]) 15:06, 30 August 2014 (CDT)

That was posted by a user named Chryrst ^  Also, he makes a good point. On the wikia there is also skills named エアスト・フロートミラー and セカンド・フロートミラー

So I was right to begin with, huh? Also Chryrst if you ever read this, sign your messages with four tilde(~) at the end. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 14:30, 30 August 2014 (CDT)

Meh, I was thinking of about switching them into beast and and demi-humnan but since another translator(beside moi) translated it so I just went "whatever" on the subject and leave it as is. As for the skill name, I've only read up to chap 83 since I'm trying to hit my quota of 1 chap a day (and I know that we won't be catching up at this rate but bleh, I am the only really active translator for this project atm) - [[User:Alpaca|Alpaca]] ([[User talk:Alpaca#top|talk]]) 18:43, 30 August 2014 (CDT)

Done, and I didn't find any instances of 'mutant' so he must have been mistaken and gave us the wrong word. If you find out what should be changed, let me know what to change. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 00:10, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

Also done. And when referring to their kind, I used 'beastmen'. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 01:11, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

U have my thanks. This is one of few translated work that I feel comfortable to read on(most translation, VN included, feel "weird" due incapable bring essence of its original meaning of words), thus my suggestion just little selfishness of mine[[User:Chryrst|Chryrst]] ([[User talk:Chryrst|talk]]) 06:28, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

I need you to look at these edits by Wololo:

Hai Hai -> Good idea! is really stupid in my opinion. Just an example of one of the changes. He may do more of these edits in the future, up to you what to revert, and possibly contact him about not doing that in the future without asking you first. This is what I wake up to... haha [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 11:32, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

Done. I thought you would think so. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 14:10, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

It seems Chryrst has some concerns over on the main Tate talk page. Just thought I'd point you in that direction. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 14:19, 1 September 2014 (CDT)

Uguu(the former anon translator) uploaded his chapter 22 translation today. And I suppose he is wondering if that was alright by you, and if it was he can upload the rest of the chapters he translated as well that were registered by you. You may want to communicate with him and either let him know to remove his chapter or to leave it up and to maybe upload the rest of his stuff. I'll leave the decision to you, Alpaca. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 20:43, 7 September 2014 (CDT)

Well, regardless, still try to communicate with him. Let him know if you approve of his work, and if you think it needs a little TLC work you can do that as well. He's waiting on talking with you before uploading the rest. If your desire is to translate them yourself, you'd still be in the right to do so because you registered for that chapter. You just need to let him know what you want. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 23:13, 7 September 2014 (CDT)


Hi, Alpaca. Sorry to bother you with this. I want you to take a look at an example of a recent edit by Soaya21/Soraya21

http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Tate_no_Yuusha_Chapter_10&diff=389389&oldid=387713&rcid=&curid=58171

Some of the edits in this example I find to be silly or making even more inaccurate as far as the translation goes. I assume an editor shouldn't be making such changes to the translation on a whim without being a TLCer and knowing Japanese. That also makes me wonder about ALL of his edits, and I would ask you to check the history pages of all of the chapters and see if anything needs fixing either back to how they were or whatever. I know this puts more work on to you, but if this is a problem, then it needs to be dealt with right away, or it will become more harm done in the long run. Thank you. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 16:28, 8 September 2014 (CDT)

Oh well, I tried. But I have another issue to bring up. The way we have this project set up, split up in volumes, isn't how the web novel is right? And how we listed the side stories, and how the new translator Uguu bought the first three volumes of the LN and plans to translate and add in the side stories. I think we should set up the project a bit differently. We need to clearly label what is translated from the WN and what is from the LN. See the Mushoku Tensei project as an example. KuroiHikari stepped in to make sure everything was set straight. Tags like this: [Web Novel 24]  were added to the chapter titles to make it clear that it was from the WN. It is alright to have the LN illustrations added in. But for this project to become more complicated when it will have LN content mixed in with it, well.. maybe you see what it is that I'm trying to point out. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 21:44, 8 September 2014 (CDT)

And all of the side stories up on the main page don't have a web novel chapter, I take it? and if they do exist in the web novel.. do you know how this situation should be handled? Also if we can't get in contact with Uguu, then he may keep going on the same track regarding them. see: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Talk:Tate_no_Yuusha_no_Nariagari

"I ordered the first 3 vols of the LN so I'll do the side stories when they arrive. By the way, how do you add timestamp to messages?" was by him. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 23:31, 8 September 2014 (CDT)

Right now I'm in the process of changing the page names and later the titles on the main page. How should I handle Epilogue? Change the name to treat it like a normal chapter? Tate no Yuusha:Web Chapter 23 for example the page name. As for the side stories being up there.. I don't know how to handle them yet.. I guess we'll figure it out later once you can talk with Uguu.. what a pain, huh? [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 23:51, 8 September 2014 (CDT)

Yes, Alpaca, but I'm making changes to reflect the web novel. Take a look at the main page now, the link for that epilogue chapter and the name on the page stand out. We're making it clear what is from the web novel and what is not. Basically a clone of what has been done on the Mushoku Tensei project page. Take a look. So I believe I need to make Epilogue fit in with the rest, since it was not translated from the LN. I would even say splitting into volumes is going against reflecting the web novel properly. Mushoku Tensei's web novel just so happened to already be split into volumes on the web novel itself. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 00:23, 9 September 2014 (CDT)

I'm not even sure you can do what you just did, haha. You may want to consult Onizuka-gto. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 01:00, 9 September 2014 (CDT)

Meh.. I'm not sure what to say. My opinion regarding our situation with the project, is to maybe have a separate section on the main page for once something is translated from the LN source and have it separated from the WN stuff. It may make the page longer, but I believe that would be the right way to go about it. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 01:30, 9 September 2014 (CDT)

: That was what Sword art online did with the side stories that were not in the LNs. They had the LNs up top and all the side stories on bottom so you would just be doing the same except the LN's content would just be on bottom this time. :P [[User:Starwarscards|Starwarscards]] ([[User talk:Starwarscards|talk]]) 15:31, 9 September 2014 (CDT)

Just informing you that preview chapters were put up without your permission. I didn't want to overstep my authority by undoing it myself, so I leave it up to you to decide how to handle it. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 18:29, 12 September 2014 (CDT)

I'm not quite so sure this should be up to the opinion of myself and the editors. Onizuka has been coming to you whether or not something from a 3rd party could be put up on the project page, and that was for a reason. Chapters from outside should always be brought to you and approved by you before being put on the project page. You had denied them in that past, and you can deny them now. Cheers. [[User:Reiji|Reiji]] ([[User talk:Reiji|talk]]) 23:11, 12 September 2014 (CDT)

I put some little notes on the talk for chapters 2 and 4, about a few things I think are in particular need of change, but didn't want to overstep myself. [[User:Cruxador|Cruxador]] ([[User talk:Cruxador|talk]]) 05:24, 18 September 2014 (CDT)

I noticed that a ton of new chapters were put up, as well as many new previews.  If you want a new editor, I could begin editing the previews and either pastebin them or throw them up on the site.  I just don't want to start editing without asking, just in case. [[User:NullAngel|NullAngel]] ([[User talk:NullAngel|talk]]) 18:38, 24 September 2014 (CDT)
