	:*I've made the [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/v1p5_zps3ef12e86.jpg changes], but I'll wait a week or two before uploading in case anything else comes to mind. It's easy to make changes, but I just like keeping revision histories short. For the title page, almost all of the books I have center the title, so I'm not sure why I didn't, a deep-seated unconscious prejudice against centered fonts maybe. Some different options for the title page: [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/7-1_zps7a6dc7ac.jpg option 1] is just normal centering; [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/7-2_zps5aa5bf98.jpg option 2] is what I thought you were describing; and [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/7-3_zpsbc7c2973.jpg option 3] mimics one of my books, but while it might be more interesting, I don't think that style would work if doing this for later volume titles that don't follow the form subject-verb-preposition-subject (like volumes 1 and 2 do). I'd say option 1 would be the default, but 2 is the same to me; or it's easy enough to change to something outside of those options too. Typing this with the different options reminds me of the quote "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing." Whether that quote is true or not, I'm probably wandering into that territory. And there is always the option 0 of just reverting to the non-edited/original version. --[[User:Cthaeh\|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh\|talk]]) 17:45, 26 January 2014 (CST)		:*I've made the [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/v1p5_zps3ef12e86.jpg changes], but I'll wait a week or two before uploading in case anything else comes to mind.

	:*Thanks. Hmm..I think option 1 looks best. I was expecting the second line in option 2 to be longer...approximately matching the length of the title(Rakuin no Monshou) for its intended effect. As for option 3, there's no problem with the Volume 3 title, but yep, it doesn't match Volume 4. Then again, who needs consistency? My only quirk was that the title wasn't centered, so I'll let you pick which one to use. I was just worried, to quote you, "I think it's more work than it's worth," that you were forcing it upon yourself. But it looks like there's no stopping you here~. --[[User:Detalz\|Detalz]] ([[User talk:Detalz\|talk]]) 00:23, 27 January 2014 (CST)		:*Thanks. Hmm..I think option 1 looks best.

	:*Alright, thanks for doing this. Sorry, but do you mind if I make a small request, and have you change Vileena's description from "A strong minded princess. She is also" to "A strong minded princess, she is also..."? And this might be a personal preference, but on title cover, I think it'd be better if "The Dragon Roars at the Star of Twilight" was centered. You can either just center the 2nd line, or slightly shift the text and have "The Dragon Roars" on the first line, and "at the Star of Twilight" on the 2nd, whichever you think might look better. Dohma did tell me he would translate the images after he finished translating Volume 1, so I'd like to wait a little longer to see if he returns. Either way, I'll be completing Volume 2 before I consider finishing up Volume 1, so it won't make too big a difference. I'll post the descriptions at least an estimated 2 weeks before I finish a volume, so that should give you enough time to make the edits, or there's always the option of leaving this to someone else. --[[User:Detalz\|Detalz]] ([[User talk:Detalz\|talk]]) 23:34, 25 January 2014 (CST)		:*Alright, thanks for doing this.

She is also Garbera's best airship pilot.

			Uploaded English versions of the title page, Orba's color page, Vileena's color page, and the contents page. I choose to replace the background because it made various aspects easier (technically it is color matched to the original background, but it's still a bit different). Half of the reason I made an English title page was so that it wouldn't be the odd one out with a different background. Orba's quote in the chapter was different than the translation here (just in a couple of words), and I used what was in the chapter. Vileena's translated quote here matched the chapter 4 translation, except it was missing one line in the middle. But I used the translation on this page assuming that extra line was not present in the image, and that it only appeared in the middle of the quote in the chapter because of rearrangement in translation.

			I can also do any of the other color images in volumes 1 or 2 (I ended up cleaning them all already). Though I think most of the value of translated images comes from making pretty pdfs, which isn't an issue right at the moment. --[[User:Cthaeh\|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh\|talk]]) 17:41, 19 January 2014 (CST)

	I got curious how much effort would be needed to do English versions of the color images, so I cleaned Orba's and Vileena's color images (the answer is more effort than it's worth, at least for me). I figure I might as well finish those two at this point, so I was wondering if anyone could translate the text that appears in those two images? I'd guess the lines within the frames are quotes from the LN text. --[[User:Cthaeh\|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh\|talk]]) 18:29, 29 December 2013 (CST)		I got curious how much effort would be needed to do English versions of the color images, so I cleaned Orba's and Vileena's color images (the answer is more effort than it's worth, at least for me).

	:*I've made the [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/v1p5_zps3ef12e86.jpg changes], but I'll wait a week or two before uploading in case anything else comes to mind. It's easy to make changes, but I just like keeping revision histories short. For the title page, almost all of the books I have center the title, so I'm not sure why I didn't, a deep-seated unconscious prejudice against centered fonts maybe. Some different options for the title page: [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/7-1_zps7a6dc7ac.jpg option 1] is just normal centering; [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/7-2_zps5aa5bf98.jpg option 2] is what I thought you were describing; and [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/7-3_zpsbc7c2973.jpg option 3] mimics one of my books, but while it might be more interesting, I don't think that style would work if doing this for later volume titles that don't follow the form subject-verb-preposition-subject (like volumes 1 and 2 do). I'd say option 1 would be the default, but 2 is the same to me; or it's easy enough to change to something outside of those options too. Typing this with the different options reminds me of the quote "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing." Whether that quote is true or not, I'm probably wandering into that territory. And there is always the option 0 of just reverting to the non-edited/original version. --[[User:Cthaeh\|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh\|talk]]) 17:45, 26 January 2014 (CST)		:*I've made the [http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w622/Cthaeh14/v1p5_zps3ef12e86.jpg changes], but I'll wait a week or two before uploading in case anything else comes to mind.

	:*Thanks. Hmm..I think option 1 looks best. I was expecting the second line in option 2 to be longer...approximately matching the length of the title(Rakuin no Monshou) for its intended effect. As for option 3, there's no problem with the Volume 3 title, but yep, it doesn't match Volume 4. Then again, who needs consistency? My only quirk was that the title wasn't centered, so I'll let you pick which one to use. I was just worried, to quote you, "I think it's more work than it's worth," that you were forcing it upon yourself. But it looks like there's no stopping you here~. --[[User:Detalz\|Detalz]] ([[User talk:Detalz\|talk]]) 00:23, 27 January 2014 (CST)		:*Thanks. Hmm..I think option 1 looks best.

	:Well... I wrote that at the time I had just completed those two images. Then I made the mistake of looking at the volume 2 illustrations and deciding that one of them was too difficult, thereby defining it as a challenge. And after I did that one to see how much of a challenge it was (the same motivation for starting in vol 1), then it became a matter of being motivated to finish what I started, so I cleaned them all. And at this point, the only thing left is copy-pasting text and making sure the text is formatted properly.

	:*Alright, thanks for doing this. Sorry, but do you mind if I make a small request, and have you change Vileena's description from "A strong minded princess. She is also" to "A strong minded princess, she is also..."? And this might be a personal preference, but on title cover, I think it'd be better if "The Dragon Roars at the Star of Twilight" was centered. You can either just center the 2nd line, or slightly shift the text and have "The Dragon Roars" on the first line, and "at the Star of Twilight" on the 2nd, whichever you think might look better. Dohma did tell me he would translate the images after he finished translating Volume 1, so I'd like to wait a little longer to see if he returns. Either way, I'll be completing Volume 2 before I consider finishing up Volume 1, so it won't make too big a difference. I'll post the descriptions at least an estimated 2 weeks before I finish a volume, so that should give you enough time to make the edits, or there's always the option of leaving this to someone else. --[[User:Detalz\|Detalz]] ([[User talk:Detalz\|talk]]) 23:34, 25 January 2014 (CST)		:*Alright, thanks for doing this.
