Thanks for helping out with the cleaning up of the references. --Trev lite (talk) 14:48, 6 August 2014 (CDT)

No problem. I'll try to comment all unnecessary notes out. Something like personal opinions, obvious (story) explanations, TL/TLC requests and so on are not translator/reference notes.
And they're therefore not something the reader should be exposed to. --Lamaroxy (talk) 19:24, 6 August 2014 (CDT)

Editing

I don't care if you do little clean-ups, like making removing personal comments (I'm usually lazy when formatting it for wiki, so I don't really change anything from my pastebin stuff), but if you're going to change terminology, then you'd better do your job properly.

As you can see here,

http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Mushoku_Tensei_Names_and_Terminology

there's no current consensus on 'touki' vs 'fighting spirit'.

I spent a lot more time translating than you do editing, so if you're going to act like a hero who waltzes in and "betters" everything, you'd best start reading the discussion threads like it's your bible and do your fucking job properly. I'm busy enough without having to constantly go through recent changes to pick out stupid changes like yours. And yes, it happens often. Retards come along all the time. If you think you can do a better job with terminology than I can, how about you go fucking translate your own chapters?

To help you empathise with me, please imagine this: you've just spent 4 to 13 hours carving out a fucking wooden statue. A lot of that time comes from determining what the best angles are, how best you should carve the slopes, the pose, the positioning. When you're finally, finally done with it, and put it on display, 20 fucking idiots come along with their own scalpels, take a 30 second look at it, and suddenly decide that they know better than you in that blink of an eye, and start hacking into your scultor like fucking termites. Also you have 2 economics assignments due the next day, lol.

How a bout you calm down a bit? Last time I checked there was no agreement on it. I would have reverted it myself after my next check through the terminologies and its discussion page.
Also, the terminology page states that Rudi's family name is Greyrat but according to the guidelines (American English) and chapter 96 (color+animal) it should be Grayrat. I believe you complained about this yourself already and even though you're in the right you started using grey instead of gray yourself. --Lamaroxy (talk) 09:02, 12 August 2014 (CDT)

First of all, no, I won't calm down. There's no need for me to calm down. You've wronged me, so I'll be the one to decide when and if I get angry. If it was just this one little thing, I wouldn't care, but it happens all the time and all of you are the bloody same.

I rewrite every line in what I post at least 2-3 times, so excepting words erroneously left over from a previous version of a sentence, everything I write is intentional. The word choice is intentional. The terminology is intentional. The sentence structure is intentional. The spacing is intentional. I spend hours in total obsessing over these details. And all of this goes towards imitating to the best of my ability the way it was written in Japanese.

Second of all, guess what? I'm an Australian, so I'll write the way I'm used to. I'm not going to consciously start writing like a Yank just because the guidelines tell me to. It probably wouldn't be accurate even if I feigned American English. I'm not going to write 'gray' and 'color' or whatever. I never bloody wrote 'gray' or whatever Yank crap in the first place. I've never written it that way in my life. That's what you editors should be changing for me. Not messing about with terminology when it hasn't been established. And you should be checking before you change things, not after.

Finally, don't you know that you should reply on my talk page? Were I not looking on the recent changes for a completely different reason, I'd have never have seen your bloody reply. Vanant (talk) 00:43, 13 August 2014 (CDT)
