Are you willing to relicense your contributions to the first paragraph of Anna Miller's so I can copy it over to Wikipedia? (They don't have an article for Anna Miller's yet.) Kitchan has already agreed, and she and I are the only other contributors to that article right now. —Brent Dax 14:28, 28 Apr 2005 (PDT)

OK, and a good idea - I was too lazy to do that myself when I found it wasn't in… — Dapete 23:59, 28 Apr 2005 (PDT)

Could you tell me where you might have obtained the kanji for Ootaka's name? I can't for the life of me figure out where in the world we (the fanbase) would have gotten that. —Phydeaux 18:18, Apr 30, 2005 (PDT)

My bad. I just looked up Ootaka as a Japanese family name. Which was, of course, evil, because I ignored the possibility of different kanji for the same name. Plus, when I searched now, there are several writings. The kanji are not backed by anything, and I have removed them now. — Dapete 23:28, 30 Apr 2005 (PDT)

Wherebouts did you acquire the image for Endgames: Presence? I thought, initially, that it was from strip 495, but then I realized that didn't show enough horizontally to be your source image. Did you obtain that image from a preexisting online source or did you scan it in yourself from volume 2? Just curious. —Phydeaux 02:54, May 26, 2005 (PDT)

*cough* Quoting from Image:Endgames_Presence_illustration.png, under the "Source" heading, it's from "Megatokyo 2, page 175" ;)

So yes, I scanned it on my good old parallel port scanner, and then reduced the size—assuming a full-size scan would not really be "fair use" anymore.

I didn't know there was a preview of this drawing somewhere—are there any others? I'd like to properly mention them in the artice. — Dapete 04:47, 26 May 2005 (PDT)

I realize it said the source on the image page itself, but there are a lot of things from online sources that are also in the books, so I was wondering if you had found an online source, but were actually citing the books as the reference. That's all. It's not like I wasn't paying attention, I was just trying to clarify.

As for whether or not there are other previews from Presence.. *coughs* back at you. :oP The Megatokyo Database, serving all your strip query needs. ^_^ —Phydeaux 08:17, May 26, 2005 (PDT)

Ah, the page I never bookmark (googling for "megatokyo database" is too easy) and always forget… — Dapete 10:18, 26 May 2005 (PDT)

Hey, just wanted to thank you for cleaning up after these spambot attacks we've been having recently. =) —CountAlpicola 19:32, Dec 5, 2005 (PST)

Thanks, but I'm just acting out my l33t sys0p complex ;) And don't forget Rosentredere helped out, too. —da Pete _(ノート) 07:30, 6 Dec 2005 (PST)
