Brief Intro

Hello there. I am just a roaming proofreader and editor for Toaru Majutsu no Index. I have studied Japanese for a few years so I am probably at Kindergarten level when it comes to speaking and understanding. Not enough to actually translate light novels but enough to compare translations with the original Japanese text and speech.

Current To Do List

• Finalise recent edits to Index Main Page --> Edits have been finalised and bugs have been fixed. Thanks for putting up with me during this likely annoying time!--OH&S (talk) 17:36, 15 December 2013 (CST)
• Fix up terminology in Index Volumes 1-SS1 (novels not translated by js06) starting from Volume 1 Prologue.

Finished working on translating terms in the Toaru Majutsu no Index no Subete Encyclopedia Glossary.

URGENT: Missing pages 170 and 174 of Subete. Anyone who has HQ scans of these pages please contact me.

LQ Scan of Page 174 found. Still missing page 170.

• Fix up Notes Sections across Index Volumes (so that there arent any random translator's notes in the actual translated text).
• Then expand the notes sections with base kanji for certain terminology.

Progress

Now that I have finished translating what I can of the Subete Encyclopedia Glossary, I am essentially ready to start fixing up the earlier Index volumes.

Here's how I will go about doing it...

1) Compile a list of volume specific questions regarding translations.

2) Send said questions to js06 and wait for an eventual response.

3) Using the answers and my custom glossaries references, begin editing the volume, part-by-part.

• Repeat the process for the next volume.

Completed: None

Currently working on: Volume 01 and Volume 02 simultaneously

Currently on Step: 3): Volume 1 - Chapter 1 - Complete

Feedback on the edits should go to the relevent section on my talk page.

• Volumes 1-2 will function as a trial. I will be waiting for feedback on my edits regarding these two volumes before continuing.

My Long Run Focus

While TAMNI stands as the biggest translation project on Baka-Tsuki, it is by no means perfect. Attention to detail has always been one of my strong points so I will try and fix the things that the other editors have missed. My focus will be on correct grammar and spelling, correct use of terminology, looking for any missing details in earlier translations, revamping the notes sections and the boring task of standardising the presentation format accross all of the light novel translations.

Calendar Project

I also have a pet project I am working on called A Certain Unified Calendar. It tries to organise all of the events which have occurred in the TAMNI and TAKNR collective franchise into chronological order and place them onto a calendar. I am currently planning the way in which I shall present the project's notes pages and thinking up a way to get feedback on the calendar from the fanbase. However, I am currently busy with studies right now so don't expect anything soon. The calendar's next update will be next year during the 10 year anniversary for TAMNI.

Sandbox Creations

This is where I first toyed with the creation of the master toggle that is now in use on the Index Main Page.

Working on Index Character Introduction...Because I am insane... After getting at least some feedback regarding the Character's Introduction, I have decided to put the project on hold until further notice. I have no intention of putting this on the main page for at least the short term. The Index Page has changed so much in this past month already that I think we need to have a cooling off period to let the edits sink in. I will continue to work privately on this in my own time. Maybe the idea can be reconsidered when Index's LN popularity becomes red hot due to another anime being aired. That is still at least a year away... In the mean time, enjoy what could have been:
