Congratulations!
For your hard work in keeping the wiki alive, you have been rewarded with the gift of sysop...ness. Once I get the okay from Bassium!, you, Bauer-CTU, and RingManX will all be burecrats, too! Have fun with your newly gained powers!Brick Man 21:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! --Quick 21:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! You've been standardizing everything. I appreciate the help. ^_^ RMX

Thanks! Congrats for you and Bauer-CTU too! --Quick 21:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

(Bauer-CTU) Welcome to the club, Quick. Thanks also for the fact about the BattonTons from the Mega Man show.

Thanks. In Bubble Bat says that they are called Battontons in Mega Man 4. Quick

Where do you get all the Japanese names from? It's awesome. Wow, I never knew that Zero was Dr. Wily No. infinity. RMX

I made some search of the Japanese names and found all the names from the enemies of the first three games and the database of Megaman & Bass (The English version removed some data from the Japanese version). Me too, until recently. I found that Zero's number was show in Mega Man Zero 3. There is a part of the game with a picture of Zero in a screen saying:


 * Dr.:|: LASTN.ZERO
 * EMERGENCY!
 * T.EHCVKEK                   KRW.RNE..
 * EKUYDREH: Ω AREA:X-II
 * ENDOFOLL.                   DR.W.NO∞

-Quick

Oh! I know that one! That was in Area X-2, Copy X's stage! That was on the screens near the beginning of the stage.

Names
Sorry I was away for so long. I was wondering the same thing about a couple of those. I wasn't really worried about the penguins and I never thought about the Air Tikki and the Gremlin being together. In Japan, the Shothead and the Crazy Cannon are both called shotman, and I guess Hammer Jack was called Jack and not Joe because the name was a play on the words jack hammer. I think it would be cool to group most of those together, but I'm not sure about the penguins. Is the Peng also called pepe is Japan? I think they may have changed it in the U.S. to avoid the word peepee. lol The grammar mistakes don't bother me. I don't mind fixing them. Is English your first language? Yeah, luckily the Pengs don't explode like the Killer Bullets. I'm not sure about the viruses. They sound familiar, but I haven't played a battle network game in years. Your English is pretty good by the way. I just noticed a few things like verb misspells and such, nothing big. English is a difficult language with all the dumb rules and spellings. lol --RMX

Hey!
Where have you been? I miss you here... --RMX 17:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Slight issue
http://www.megamanwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Another Mega Man wiki? They only have about 30 articles only on MM classic and MMBN. Is there anyway we can get them to join forces with us? --RMX 03:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Update
His email doesn't work and you need to sign up to make any edits on that wiki, so I contacted him the only way I could by posting a comment on his web site. It appears that his wiki was only a brief obsession. I asked him if he would like to join and contribute his knowledge. We need all the help we can get, especially for the MMBN series and MMZ series.

Welcome Back
Welcome back! I missed you. No wonder I haven't seen you in a while. A lot has changed since you were gone. I've worked a lot on enemies from the classic series and X series, updated the ZX series a lot, and imported MMBN pages. I hope to see you on more soon. It's hard for me to keep up with stuff alone and I know I can rely on you. Anyway, have you played the Mega Man ZX yet? I hope the series leads into the Legends series and explains how the world flooded and how The Master and Mega Man Trigger came to be. Mega Man ZX already explained a lot about the Legends series on how humans and reploids became one. It was always hard to tell if characters like Mega Man Trigger, Sera, Glyde, Bon Bonne, Bola and Klaymoor were human or robot. --RMX 18:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC) Yeah, those Captain N versions are funny. Wait until you see the MM1 robot masters, especially Cut Man. Too bad I can't get that episode to work. The DVD is so scratched up. --RMX 03:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm back
Hey! I'm back! Sorry I was gone for so long. My laptop finally died and I was caught up with midterms and projects. What's new? --RMX 04:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Card Series
Haven't done much with the card series, but I think the main difference is in the names and text that appears on the cards. The best parallel that I can give you here is between Mega Man X5 and Rockman X5- the Mavericks in the games had completely different names, mainly for marketing reasons and because Capcom wanted to appeal to slightly different audiences (if you've played the games then you know what I'm talking about, and if not, then you can simply look them up). Anyway, the Robot Masters or Mavericks referred to in these cases are "the same," but they have slightly different names (either because of marketing or translation errors or just a lack of an equivalent in English). I hope that helps you! --Brahman 02:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey
Glad to see you around again. I'm glad you found the name Gorisly for that "chibi guts man". Do you know the katakana for Gorisly? Also do you know what the Japanese name for the "peri kai" --RMX 07:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you too! Gorisly's name is ゴリスリー. I will look for "Peri Kai"'s name and edit the two tomorrow. --Quick 23:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Yo! Don't make fanstuff lame!
Yo! I was working on my "Mega Man X: File 1" fan fiction! And I wanted it to be elaborate! ELABORATE! So if you don't want to get into a world of trouble, change it back! I'll think of something to put in eventually.

Sorry, already changed it back.

Don't do that again without consulting with me first
The enemy names from Mega Man, Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, and Mega Man (Game Gear) are ALL correct since I have the manuals with the correct names. I never put ANY web source over the actual instruction manual for a game. Please let me know about changing that much before you actually do so. I am not even sure I put everything back to the way it was. --RMX 15:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for this... I known of the Mega Man 1 and 2 manuals, but Mega Man 3 don't has a enemy list on it, except if it's a different version. I never saw the Game Gear manual. Could you list the enemies of those manuals (except 1 and 2) so I known which names are ok or not to change? I'll avoid editing enemies from those games for now. About the enemies from other games, do you known any source of their names? Game magazines don't count, as they normally made up names like Metal Muncher and Super Shrimp, and some names from manuals changed in the Mega Man: Anniversary Collection's Navi Mode, like Thunder Goro and Pipi. Also, there is no need to fully revert the pages of the Robot Masters (like Toad Man and Gravity Man), just the enemy list.

By the way... Should change Lightning Lord to Thunder Goro or leave it as Lightning Lord? --Quick 17:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Doc Robot, Ariga Style
Holy moly! That's all kinds of creepy, right there! Thanks for sharing that bad boy with me! o.o ~   Doc Robot K-176 [ U | T | C ] 23:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)



Ra Devil or "New Yellow Devil?"
I saw that you changed the Ra Devil back into New Yellow Devil, but as far as I can tell from owning and playing through the game itself the boss is actually called the "Ra Devil." It is, as the description correctly says, an upgraded form of the Yellow Devil using the superior technology that Ra Moon possesses. However, I cannot find anywhere referencing the name "New Yellow Devil," whereas if you search for "Ra Devil" and "rockman" on Google it seems that "Ra Devil" is the standard name used for the final boss (I use standard loosely since it's not like a tremendous amount of English-speaking people own this game). --Brahman 01:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't know that he was called "New Yellow Devil" in the game, but then again, it's been at least 5 or so years since I've played the game (maybe I will replay it one of these days). Anyway, right now I'm working on the page for Rockman Strategy now that I managed to get a legitimate copy of the game...It's a pretty good game - very interesting and fun to play (it's also very well done for a licensed game).  I haven't quite finished it yet (there are a lot of extra stages aside from the 12 Constellation Droids, and that makes it much longer than you would think), but when I do I will add a bit more info to the story section. --Brahman 06:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

And by the way, as a side note, why is the "New Yellow Devil" given a Wily Number if he was made by Ra Moon, or was this because it was based on the design of the Yellow Devil (and just an upgraded/modified design)? --Brahman 06:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The New Yellow Devil don't has a Wily Number, Ra Thor that has. --Quick 23:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Dates in the RM universe
I've noticed that there are a few articles that either use inaccurate dates (like the page regarding the Mega Man X, saying that he was discovered in 2114), or pages that say that the dates in the MM universe are entirely fandom.

However, it seems to me that this isn't really the case, is it? We do have some source-books that provide us with helpful information, including a few dates that we can use to extrapolate when certain events take place. For example, the Mega Man Timeline article that we have here (which is basically a port of what was on WikiKnowledge) is largely based on information contained in Rockman Perfect Memories. That source-book mentions the fact that Dr. Light received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the creation of the first batch of Robot Masters in the year 2007. This being the case, it seems logical that Proto Man was built first (2005 possibly?) and then, with the "failure" of that project, Mega Man and Roll came next, along with the Industrial series in 2006, which sparked Dr. Light to receive the prize the following year. It is out of this logic that the year of creation was listed for Mega Man on his character page. Moreover, since we know (also out of that source-book) that Dr. Wily's first act of revolt is in December of 2008, we can date most (if not all) of the games in the classic series (for example, the Mega Man 2 is only a few months later and also has the year of 200X listed, whereas Mega Man 3 is given the year 20XX in Japanese sources apparently).

As for the X series, it's a bit harder to date, but also not impossible. Even though the copyright on Dr. Cain's computer is 2114, it seems unlikely that this is when X was discovered. As we put on the timeline article, 2116 is a little more accurate, not just because it assumes that Cain is not using a brand-new computer, but also because it puts X's awakening as 100-years after the events of the classic series.

Anyway, it is interesting that there are a few dates that are provided for us (and not by accident). Also, isn't it also interesting that we are now living in the year 200X, the year Dr. Wily revolted? --Brahman 02:22, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Fell free to fix them then. I can't help, as I don't know the precise dates of the series. But Mega Man 5 is the first game to use the date 20XX, as Mega Man 4 is listed as AD 200X in the begin of the game. We should take note of different dates given by different sources, like the sourcebooks (that reminds me the upcoming R20 Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works). Also, I hope no one releases Robot Masters to conquer the world XD. --Quick 00:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Nickname
Have you figured out yet? Anyway, in the 'my preferences' link at the top right corner of the page there is a field called 'Nickname'. You stick a code (wikicode, that was sooo not obvious) in the field and tick raw signatures. That's how, I guess... The Ph34r lives forever Talk

Thanks, but I got used with "Quick". I don't plan to change it so soon... --Quick 00:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the feedback on my MMPC Remakes project. Hopefully you guys will keep it up as I continue to get more of it finished.

By the way, I've been here for a while and have edited quite a bit of articles since at least early-2007, and was wondering what it takes to become a "sysop?" --Brahman 18:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Eh? I haven't been here in awhile, I really don't know about who would make a good sysop here. That something only someone active at the wiki can decide. You basically have to watch the RC and look over what kind of edits different users make, and you slowly get a sense of trust towards some of the editors, and pick out who has a good grasp of the wiki's policies and how to edit properly. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jul 17, 2008 @ 04:23 (UTC)

Thanks for the granting of "sysopness." And, as a side-note, the MMPC Remakes project is moving right along - today I finished up with Sonic Man's stage! --Brahman 02:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

I finished remaking all of the stages from Mega Man (PC), even CRORQ's fortress! Now I've moved on to working on the stages from Mega Man 3 (PC), which are a bit longer than those from MMPC. I'm considering releasing a Technical Demo, which would include the ability to walk around in the stages (no enemies or bosses yet) and see how they look and how the general gameplay is so far. Think that would be good? Let me know what you think. --Brahman 20:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Virus Protecton
Dude, you know how you did something about protection from Cyber Peacock's stage, well what about it. you only said it was a protection program, that's it!
 * Fixed. Didn't noticed it could not be recognized. --Quick 18:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

thanks dude

Good to see you too
I'm glad you're still here. You'll be seeing me more now that I've graduated from college and now that Mega Man 9 is coming out. --RMX 03:17, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Quick, do you go contribute to any other Wikia? I would like to know! Do you like other tv shows? Do you live in USA?--Vzing (the sysop wantabee on 8/15/08)
 * Yup, but not frequently. Some of the other wikis I edit are Castlevania and Naruto, and some animes I liked are Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin. I don't live in North America. (Details about being sysop) --Quick 01:18, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Instruction manual names
The instruction manual names still come before other sources. The only source that outranks the instruction manual is the in-game text. This is true for the Mega Man Legends manuals for names such as Bon Bonne. As for the MM3 Tiger handheld, that game is non-canon. I know very little of the Mega Man Zero series and found it to be very frustrating. As for the "Flying Fish" we can only assume that it is talking about Pipi. Fortunately there are numerous other sources in English that use the name "Pipi" (even the cartoon show). I am very excited about the R20 book. It should have come out years ago. I wonder if they were waiting for Mega Man 9... Anyway, the Pelicaanu translation is my fault. I always thought it was ン at the end. --RMX 21:51, 18 August 2008 (UTC) Like I said, if there are in-game names available, then those names should be used over the manual names. However, if there are no in-game names available, then the next reliable source would be the English manual. I realize that the manuals are often poorly translated, but it's better than no translation. An English manual would outrank a Japanese manual, even though the Japanese is more accurate. This is an English Wiki and not a Japanese Wiki. In game content and instruction manual content should always outrank any internet source, unless it actually on Capcom's official website. Many times people "know" the correct names in Japan, but because the name is different in the U.S. that name is the correct name in English. A good example is Aeris/Aerith from Final Fantasy 7. Both the in-game text and instruction manual say "Aeris." In my opinion, her name will always be Aeris in the U.S. This is regardless to how her name was supposed to be translated and spelled in the U.S. or how it is translated now. Unless they can go back in time and fix her name, then that would the only way I would accept the name "Aerith." --RMX 21:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Request.
I just can't find more picture of UMA in MegaMan Star Force 2 (ex. Yeti Blizzard, Condor Geograph) if you see any, will you please upload it? I can't find any.(In fact I can only find Dark Phantom...) Also some mugshots of MMSF will do some good.--Vzing
 * oh yea... (Mugshot) Now I can do it myself..--Vzing
 * Can you also delete Image:SF2Mega2Mug.JPG because jpg stinks. I already have a png copy.--Vzing

SERiously... I want to become a SySoP! Ex. I number 3 in the Top User (Featured User)... Theres been seriosly alot of spam (Brain Man, Black Hole Bomb, Kung-Foo Kid, Queen Ophiuca, Dinosaur Man...). Is it because I am to young?--Vzing20:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Sidebar
I created a draft at User:KrytenKoro/Sidebar draft. It should allow the "Contents" on the Main Page to be removed, as well as many empty pages that only have a short list on them. Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  00:52, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You have to have admin access to do it, which is why I haven't done it already. Basically, you hit the "edit this menu" button in the sidebar menus, and then replace the text on the page it gives you with the text in my draft.
 * You are an admin, right? Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  02:26, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes...Duh. If you want to be an admin you should become top 5 in the featured user. Then your good to go.--Vzing 09:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not really like this Vzing... For instance, Blaze Heatnix don't appeared over one year and is the 5th in the featured users, and the only of the 7 users currently seen that isn't a sysop. I'll change the sidebar. --Quick 18:26, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry--Vzing 21:23, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Is the different sidebar showing up for you guys? Because I'm even using a different pc to avoid the caching problem, and it's still showing the old one, which shouldn't be possible. Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  18:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It may take some time before changing? --Quick 19:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I liked the old sidebar better. What I really don't like is the rated page. What about the most positive rated article?--Vzing 21:23, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

MMIII PC Unused Sprites
Thanks for pointing those unused sprites from the DOS games out to me! It is interesting to see what CRORQ's rider actually looked like in the second game - in the actual game, you can see his shadow, but when you destroy him no one comes out! This was probably due to laziness or something, but then again, maybe they didn't want to make the game even less canonical than it already was becoming! Gauntlet says that the rider appears to be some sort of "lab assistant" for Dr. Wily who is given no name, and appears to talk to Rock after he defeats him. His design was probably based off of one of the Rozner brothers, although we will probably never know for user; still, he does look a lot like Dr. Cossack, as you pointed out!

Also, thanks for pointing the website where that information actually came from - they have some useful maps of the stages from MM3PC. I can use them when I am reconstructing the stages from PC3 to make them more accurate to their original layout in the remake! --Brahman 19:26, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Video
Hey Quick. I wanted to give you a heads up on a new project that we, the Wikia Gaming Team, are starting. I'm going to the top gaming wikis and adding relevant videos (from YouTube) to a few of the most popular/visited articles. We'll be tracking their usage to find out if it could be an extra enhancement that people will use. If you have any questions, feedback, etc, feel free to drop me a message. JoePlay (talk) 20:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you for the correcting the name of the article "Mean Robophant" to "Paozo". Cloakedboltz 20:54, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Main Page rename
Since you seem to be the most active admin, I wanted to let you that I just renamed the Main Page to Mega Man Wiki. I've been assigned with stopping by all the top gaming wikis and making sure their main page is named (Game Name) Wiki instead of Main Page, for search engine optimization purposes. If you admins decide you don't want the keep the new main page name, you obviously have the right to revert, but I would strongly suggest keeping it so that even more people will find this wiki. Cheers. =) JoePlay (talk) 20:03, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It's ok for me. =) --Quick 23:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * "Since you seem to be the most active admin..." (Thinks...) Hey, Joeplay, your offending people =(--Vzing 22:12, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * And I was offline for some days... -_-' --Quick 18:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

The secret prize!
Well, I would like to bring to you the idea of the prize of Operation Overhaul. Guess what it could be? Yes, I would think they should become Sysops! Users like Dryuu, Zero 345... Who recently contributed alot...--Vzing 22:12, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Zero345 is still new here, but what you think of turning Dryuu, Kaihedgie‎ and KrytenKoro into sysops? --Quick 18:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  19:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry I haven't been around so much. I've been really busy with homework, but come summer I'm planning on putting a lot more work into uploading the info from the zero series and my complete works book.
 * Also: All hail Wilypedia! Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  08:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for catching the servbot misspellings, I probably would have never caught that. -FobarImperius
