Alt. Language Projects with No Content in Pending Authorisation Category

This is a quick service announcement pertaining to project reclassification status:

• There are a handful of Alt. Lang. Projects that have no translations uploaded WHATSOEVER.

I left these questionable projects in Category:Pending Authorisation. (Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu yo (Italiano), Mokushiroku Arisu - Français)

Theoretically, according to the new English conventions, these pages should be deleted if nothing is uploaded within a week. However, I'll leave it up to the Alt. Language Supervisors to decide what course of action to take with these projects, whether you want to officially give them extensions, or issue notifications, etc. This is just a memo so that we don't forget about them. --Cloudii (talk) 00:54, 31 May 2014 (CDT)

List of concerned projects updated. I'll delete them if I don't have anything regarding their activity. -- Misogi (talk) 07:10, 16 August 2014 (CDT)

Requesting to Propose A New Project Under A Translated Version of LN

Hi and greeting.

My name is Muhamad from Malaysia. I'm currently studying undergraduate in United Kingdom. During my spare time, I used to read Light Novels (LN) from Baka-Tsuki (BT) and my Japanese friend, who is in the same universities. I do enjoy reading both original and English-translated LN.

Then, he said to me: 'Why not translating them into your Own Language (Malay)?" And here I am, quite to afraid to suggest it beforehand.

Therefore, I would like to request your permission, and your approval to add another language-translated LN, that is Malay.

I know this is something new, but I would like to try it by means of translating it to my native language. If possible, I would like to found this new project, so that people from my country and those who can read Malay appreciate more stories in LN by means of Malay language.

I will give it a try, and you could give me a response.

Here's my email: [email protected]. Feel free to drop me a email, to ask any question.

Thank you for your time reading this post, and also for your help and support. I am looking forward to be part of BT community team.

Regards, Muhamad.

You're welcome to translate to other languages, though if you're translating from a translation (ie English) instead of the original language (likely Japanese), then it is considered good manners to ask the translator first. --Cthaeh (talk) 21:11, 8 April 2015 (CDT)

Unification of Series Overview sections

As stated in the subject title, the release info in series overview sections should be unified. Some don't list subtitles in japanese, or some extra list the page count, other have totally different formats of date. The way the brackets or dashes are put are different from project to project. Please consider making a formatting rule for this information. --non∞ 14:31, 9 January 2015 (CST)

Unban request

Hi, so, my brother's an idiot and got our IP banned (122.104.147.46 #49412) normally I'd just wait out the period, but I'd like to register as a translator for one of the new Mushoku Tensei chapters and by the time it runs out the volume will probably be over. I'm asking this from my phone because it won't even let me make a reqest on the computer. I can vouch that he won't do it again so it would be greatly apreciated of you could lift the ban sometime soon.

Done. -- LiTTleDRAgo (Talk) 02:51, 2 March 2015 (CST)

Spam in Recent Changes

Dear Administrators, There has been a lot of spam articles in the recent changes section as of late. Ranging from losing weight to getting various discounts, several things are being advertised. To frank, I don't want to read these kind of things on this site. It also appears that the same articles are being uploaded multiple times each day. It is so bad that the light novel updates I want to read/check are getting buried and hard to find. I am sorry if you didn't want me to tell you about this in this section, but I thought you should know about this issue. It is really annoying and I think this issue should be addressed soon if not immediately. Thanks again for running this awesome site, I hope this can help make it even better.

Recent changes in Polish HighSchool DXD

I had some serious problems with my Internet connection when I decided to correct a typo, so I accidentally ended up with adding three revisions instead of one. Is there a possibility to remove two unneeded revisions from the history? I mean this page: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=High_School_DxD_-_Tom_1_prolog

Extra revisions in the history aren't really a problem, so it should be fine as is. --Cthaeh (talk) 21:11, 8 April 2015 (CDT)

Request concerning licensed projects

It would be cool if the series overviews were unlocked for all the licensed series so we could add both new JP and EN release information. Please. --non∞ 12:42, 16 March 2015 (CDT)

Cloudii fixed this by allowing transclusion from the talk pages. --Cthaeh (talk) 21:11, 8 April 2015 (CDT)

That's cool. I added those overviews. I'll udpate also the others licensed projects in the same way. DanMachi is already up. Following up will be Strike the Blood, Mahouka, Index, Tate no Yuusha, Seraph of the End, Durarara!!. These are not yet listed in the sidebar under abandoned, I hope you'll update it soon. :) --non∞ non∞ 12:06, 9 April 2015 (CDT)

I did the same for DanMachi, StB, Mahouka, and Durarara!!. Tate and Seraph aren't locked as of now, so I left those as is. Index was already editable through Template:Toaru:Series_Overview. For the projects not in abandoned on the sidebar, they will be moved out of the project categories and into the sidebar once all the translations on the pages are deleted, which should be no later than 2 months before the first English publication. In Tate's case I don't think there's yet a consensus on what to do, so I can't say what will happen. Thanks for keeping things updated. --Cthaeh (talk) 18:49, 9 April 2015 (CDT)

New Project for Konjiki no Wordmaster in English

I, {Onemanleft}, have started a new project for {Konjiki no Wordmaster} and uploaded some translations. The link to the project overview page is here: {https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Konjiki_no_Wordmaster}. --Onemanleft (talk) 17:01, 22 March 2015 (CDT)

Ah sorry, I didn't know that I had to obtain permission for linked translations. I have contacted them and I will post their permissions when they reply.

So I got the translator's permissions for hosting their links here on BT shown in the screenshots hereː http://postimg.org/image/60avsw6f3/ I don't know if postimage is fine for the proof. If there is any problems/things left to do, feel free to contact me. --Onemanleft (talk) 13:15, 23 March 2015 (CDT)

Plagiarised Translations in Teaser Project Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata

Hello Baka-Tsuki Administration,

It has come to my attention that large parts of Chapter 1 of the first Volume of SaeKano(short hand) by Unnamed Translations were directly copied from my translations here at the http://thenakedsol.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/saenai-heroine-no-sodatekata-volume-1.html While I see no problems with the translation of their prologue, there is considerable evidence to suggest chapter 1 is not entirely their own. Evidence can be found here https://oniichanyamete.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/plagiarised-translations-warning/ and the offending material can be found here http://unnamedtranslations.blogspot.sg/p/saekano-volume-1-chapter-1.html. As per your guidelines, I am requesting removal of their links from this site and a warning to be issued to the offending party.

Thank you for your time,

--Steel Maverick (talk) 19:39, 27 March 2015 (CDT)

Hello again,

As a result of this unfortunate series of events, I am concerned about the quality of future translations for SaeKano. I have been considering for awhile now to have at least the links to my translations hosted here. In order to maintain consistency, legitimacy and trust in the quality of translations that are hosted or linked here might I ask if it would be possible to supersede the original links by the offending party with my own?

Thank you again for you time,

--Steel Maverick (talk) 21:48, 27 March 2015 (CDT)
