===High School DxD===

"Just like that I got the thing from Zenovia that would make me a newly made live coal. " -This line seems very awkward. I changed live coal to "man" , but it still doesn't feel right. In this sentence is Ise worried that the other girls might burn him into charcoal if does make children with Zenovia or something along those lines? (Vol 4, life 1) -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 15:02, 26 February 2012 (CST)

Hm, a better statement would be "Like this I got elements from Zenovia that created further friction."
It's extremely vague as to what the elements mean.
The next line of perversion is a bit vague as well if you noticed

EDIT:
Scratch the second line, I thought of the exact translation while pondering, screw Jap grammar: "Even if I say so myself, I was feeling my perverted spirit when I couldn't refuse her."
-Akuma

But remember the narrative is in past tense, especially when Ise's narrating. I'm not sure if its the same for Japanese, but for English it is. -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 19:44, 26 February 2012 (CST)

Yep, should be I felt my perverted side. Though the one present there works too "my perverted spirit couldn't refuse her" or something like that. What matters is that the message is conveyed which is done perfectly.

===Paper mache?===
In Volume 4 life 2 of Highschool DxD it says that Issei used paper mache to make a statue of Rias. Are you sure it's paper mache? It mention that Issei molded the statue using his hands and I think that can only be done using either clay or plasticine. Can anyone confirm this? - Cataccountant

Yep, that's the exact translation. 紙粘土 which literally means paper clay, I googled the term and paper mache was what I found. -Akuma

Why not just use "paper clay" directly?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_clay

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_mache

"Papier-mâché paste is the substance that holds the paper together.
The paper is cut or torn into strips, and soaked in the paste until saturated.
The saturated pieces are then placed onto the surface and allowed to dry slowly"
Comparing the two, the paper mache process seems to be too involved for a casual classroom activity.

I have used PVc  clay and already given my reasons as well. PVC clay is more widely known. It is used to make figurines already, an conposition of paper clay is highly variable. If you want you can change it, do as you wish. --[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] 20:55, 8 March 2012 (CST)

no no..Let it remain PVC clay only. It sounds much proper. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 23:57, 8 March 2012 (CST)

== Vol 04 Life2 ==

hey...those massive gaps in between...r they meant 2 be parts? --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 13:36, 3 March 2012 (CST)

Yeah. Separation between 2 parts. --[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] 19:59, 3 March 2012 (CST)

== leader of fallen angels ==

The line "''When the leader of fallen angel invaded''" in vol04 life02; isn't Kokabiel one of the echelons of the faction n not the leader but Azazel? That's why 'removed that 'leader' thing. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 23:17, 3 March 2012 (CST)

It's fine now. I changed it to "When one of the leaders of the fallen angels invaded" which is closer to the actual meaning and grammatically correct. Kokabiel is one of the fallen angels leaders, Azazel is also one of them. The other fallen angel leaders consider him as the commander like what Michael is to the angels. -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 23:38, 3 March 2012 (CST)

Yeah. That statement should be correct.  I'll recheck it just in case when I reach home. As I have stated I am busy on Sundays. --[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] 00:14, 4 March 2012 (CST)

So do we have/had some1 like 'God' for the fallen angels or simply commanders like Azazel? --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 23:51, 4 March 2012 (CST)

= Oda Nobuna no Yabou =
Hello, thank you for starting the translation of Oda Nobuna no Yabou :D. I wanted to ask, if I could use your translation, to translate to german? [[User:HiragaSaito|HiragaSaito]]

It's alright to use it, be my guest, I would love to see this series be popular ^^ --[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] 11:59, 7 August 2012 (CDT)--[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] 20:53, 6 August 2012 (CDT)

Hey Akuma, I should have sent a PM in the forums about my editing request. I just wanted a clarification on this phrase "
The arrowhead was of gold make, if it pierced his chest he would surely be killed by an arrow"Since this is the first time I'm editing, I'm reluctant to make any changes without consulting someone as I don't want to leave a bad impression. However, from looking at this sentence I would like to change it to "The arrowhead was made of gold" rather than "was of gold make" which doesn't make sense. [[User:Kirisa|Kirisa]] ([[User talk:Kirisa|talk]]) 02:36, 11 August 2012 (CDT)

I remember actually hesitating when I read that phrase since I wasn't too sure about it. I did consider "The arrowhead was made of gold" but slight problem with that is that gold is an extremely malleable and rare metal so it wouldn't make sense from a practical or economic standpoint to use gold in arrows. I would assume that iron, bronze and copper would be more frequently used or even just sharpened wood/animal bone. An alternate interpretation is that gold refers to golden age rather to arrow and thus it refers to time. Gold could then be referring to The Momoyama Period in Japan—from 1568 to 1615—was one of the most dynamic and energetic eras in the country's history or it might even refer to kyoto or some other place although you would need to see kanji to tell.

I think I made a mistake here, the exact words are: 金属製. Which I broke up and made as "Gold make". However, in fact this is a general term referring to things made of metal. Reflecting changes, thanks for bring this up.  --[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] ([[User talk:Akuma#top|talk]]) 21:14, 11 August 2012 (CDT)

Are you implementing the same policy when you were translating DxD? --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) 08:00, 30 August 2012 (CDT)

Nah, I am uploading them at the same time. --[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] ([[User talk:Akuma#top|talk]]) 09:53, 30 August 2012 (CDT)

Hi. Just wondering if you need another editor for this project. Would gladly help out. Kinda free so can edit quite often (3-4 times a week) Thx! --[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]] ([[User talk:Magykalman|talk]]) 10:05, 6 September 2012 (CDT)

Extra hands are always welcomed; go off editing as you feel like~  --[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] ([[User talk:Akuma#top|talk]]) 10:21, 6 September 2012 (CDT)

Thanks! :D So I think I'll just put my name there and start editing? :D Oh and I've helped you add a "d" at the end of "welcome" :P  --[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]] ([[User talk:Magykalman|talk]]) 14:05, 7 September 2012 (CDT)

== Oda Nobuna no Yabou Editing ==

Erm hi. Magykalman here. Requesting permission to edit Extract: "By the time he realized it, for some reason he was standing right in the middle of a battlefield during the Warring States period." into "By the time he realized it, he was standing right in the middle of a battlefield during the Warring States period." I've tried fitting the "For some reason" part into different places, but it seemed like the best way was to take it out...So just wondering if you want it changed. Have not edited yet, so don't worry. :) Oh and I think I'll only be requesting permission for major changes, so the minor ones, .... :P  --[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]] ([[User talk:Magykalman|talk]]) 14:15, 7 September 2012 (CDT)


Ah yeah here again. I think I found this extract awkward, so maybe you would like to change it a little. Cause I don't know how the original looks like... Here's the extract: "The location can be found out later but it’s in the Nobi Plains." I don't really think that this sentence is fitting into the passage and kinda found it...weird. So maybe you can help check again if you're free. Thanks! And sorry if it's a little anoying for you to keep receiving these... Just want to make the novel better... :) --[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]] ([[User talk:Magykalman|talk]]) 14:17, 7 September 2012 (CDT)

Hi again boss. Requesting permission to change extract: "Yoshiharu had received the nickname of “Ball avoiding Yoshi” in his dodgeball class and is good at running away." into "Yoshiharu had always been good at running away, and even received the nickname "Ball avoiding Yoshi".  --[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]] ([[User talk:Magykalman|talk]]) 14:17, 7 September 2012 (CDT)

Argh. Never mind. I think I've changed a lot, and maybe too much that I'll spam this whole place if I put it here, so you may just want to re-look into Volume 1 chapter 1 again... Sorry for the trouble caused. --[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]] ([[User talk:Magykalman|talk]]) 14:30, 7 September 2012 (CDT)
