Teh Ping Talk:Miscellaneous

Good luck in the Army

It'll problaly drain a lot of your energy, but I think once you get pass it, you feel a little bit better about yourself too.

Thanks for your hard work. I'll hope to see update sometime.

Good luck! --Hypernova 19:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

As I understand it, Angelanime is not the translator. --Darklor 08:14, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, that means we have to ask Angelanime who the translator is--Teh Ping 11:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

To Teh Ping

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I wanted to thank you for all of the translating that you have been doing so far. Reading these light novels have been a real treat and I just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated.

Punctuation

The types of punctuation used formally were: ..."" (You might need to see in editing mode to get the difference). I used the characters ... and ' and " to replace them. The thing is, that every type of character has an id set to it in the form of a combination of bits (01010101). This is done because bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc, is how data is stored. In other words " does not equal " or " in the storing language. However in English they would mean the same thing. " occurs earlier in the storage character table than " or " therefore it has a smaller id. Thus space can be saved by using it. My advice is to either stop using MSWord and use WordPad or TextPad editor. OR... first write in MSWord then take it to TextPad and then use the find and replace functions to switch the above characters. You can also use FoxReplace addon if you are using Firefox but that's just a little more complex in initializing the settings but the result is that the replacement process becomes fully automated (It's a major pain if you make a mistake though, if you don't exclude pages you need to, then the replacement could affect something you did not wish it to). The final way is to use this site's own search and replace function. Zero2001 15:41, 29 May 2011 (UCT)

One more thing. I've noticed that stuttering words have been separated by commas. Example: "Do, don't think I was doing it for you okay?" The thing is that normally in English writing stuttering words are separated by the use of hyphens(-) lets take the example above. It should have been: "Do-Don't think I was doing it for you okay?" See the difference in the Don't(s). Just thought I should let you know. Was I helpful? Zero2001 15:41, 29 May 2011 (UCT)

...Well, I guess it would be troublesome. I'm using MSWord right now to eliminate as many typos as I can, and I have no idea how much space does this website have. Will keep this in mind, definitely, but I don't know if I can get myself to work that extra bit though.

As for stuttering, I just followed how it's normally given instead of just following how the English do it. Thanks for your input.--Teh Ping 02:16, 30 May 2011 (UCT)

Either hyphens(-) for short(quick) stutters or three dots(...) for long pause between stutters is what I learned. If there is anything else just let me know. I'll be willing to help. Personally, my method is the FoxReplace one. Zero2001 - Talk - 15:58, 3 June 2011 (UCT)

Umm. I've added some info on the FoxReplace method on my talk page. If you feel like it please check it out. Zero2001 - Talk - 17:42, 6 July 2011 (UCT)

I would like you to support me here, if you are willing. Thank you. Zero2001 - Talk - 13:35, 13 September 2011 (CDT)

Narrative Tense? (Toaru Majutsu no Index)

The poll on this conundrum is leaning heavily towards past tense. Should we edit the project-specific guidelines to reflect that consensus? --Tact 11:00, 6 June 2011 (UCT)

As much as I hate to agree with that, go ahead, we should--Teh Ping 14:06, 6 June 2011 (UCT)

Collapsibility Upgrade

Umm. If it's not too much trouble could you take a look at this. Zero2001 - Talk - 18:06, 29 June 2011 (UCT)

Questions...

How long does a chapter take???

As long as it needs. --Saganatsu 04:42, 6 August 2011 (UCT)

Request

Since your user page mentioned you're leaving one space open I figured I might as well leave a request. I'd be really glad if you could help with Oreimo, since its translation has pretty much stalled (though I haven't confirmed the status of the translators, from what I gathered they all have it queued). Anyway, if you do pick it up, I'd be more than willing to be an active (personal, if it suits you) editor for the series.-ppaaccoojrf 01:13, 26 August 2011 (CDT)

Well, it's a 'maybe', no guarantees though.--Teh Ping 02:54, 26 August 2011 (CDT)

Good enough, let me know if you do pick it up. Thanks for minding the request.--ppaaccoojrf 15:15, 26 August 2011 (CDT)

please give Sword art online a piece of your time.thank you.

Archiving advice

It seems that your talk page is getting more cluttered up. You know, you can always archive your talkpage when it reaches a certain limit. Simply create a new page named User talk:Teh Ping/Archive #, where # is the archive number, and copy all the discussions that you consider too old to keep on your talk page but too valuable to delete. Create a link to the archive on top of your talk page by writing [[/Archive #]]. You won't need to create a link back to the talk page from the archive. It seems subpage settings are active on user pages. I've already made one. Zero2001 - Talk - 21:18, 15 September 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'll be sorting them according to the series.--Teh Ping 21:38, 15 September 2011 (CDT)

Subpages <- Archives

Umm, I think you named them wrongly. Shall I rename them for you? A backlink will automatically be generated that way. Zero2001 - Talk - 15:32, 16 September 2011 (CDT)

^^ Zero2001 - Talk - 00:20, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

Name wrongly? No, I'm just following the wikipedia versions. Baka Test needs to be changed (and Index), but I haven't told told Oni that. Also, there's quite a lot of references out there on Volume 3 Author Notes and Volume 4 chapter 2 that I haven't added in.--Teh Ping 00:34, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

Umm. I mean the names of the subpages you made (assuming this page and the other similar ones were made as a result of the post in the parent section of this section). They were supposed to be named User Talk:Teh Peng/* not Teh Ping Talk:* where * is Miscellaneous, etc. A user's page, talk page and subpages are a users personal space. The way you named them put them in the main page namespace. It could lead to people challenging the pages for deletion. Best if you renamed these Teh Peng Talk pages before that happens. Plus you get an automatically generated backlink to your talk page. Zero2001 - Talk - 01:59, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

What Teh Peng? Should be Teh Ping lol. Need to switch around later then.

Anyway, I don't know how to respond to this: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4553--Teh Ping 03:48, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

Registering as an Editor

How can I register as one (specifically on IS)? I mean in a way that my forum status also gets updated. I feel that those who don't know me can't take me seriously when I post as simply a Reader. Zero2001 - Talk - 15:27, 27 September 2011 (CDT)

You just log in on the forum, go to the user control panel, select the "Usergroups" tab, click in the radiobutton beside "Project Editors", scroll down, and hit submit. (I believe you have to get approved, so it will take a few days, but you'll become and editor eventually.) Hobogunner 15:43, 27 September 2011 (CDT)
