== Thanks ==
Thank you very much for your translations. But it is a pity that the volume 1 isn't translated, it feels a bit awkward for me to read from volume 2. Is there somewhere at least a summary of V1?--[[User:KaprJarda|KaprJarda]] ([[User talk:KaprJarda|talk]]) 12:17, 15 October 2012 (CDT)

==Re: Editors==

Dear prospective editor. Thank you for your interest in Unbreakable Machine Doll. Before you click on my talk page to ask whether you can be listed as an editor, consider this: I don't fucking need one. I can assure you I shoot grammatical errors on sight. What I do need however, is a dedicated editor. 

What's that, you ask? A dedicated editor's job is to go through the English text for inconsistencies with the original raw JP text, and if you can perform at that level, why the fuck are you here? Go apply to be a translator, God knows we need a few more.

----
Excuse me Hayashi_s, but I don't think what you are doing is right. This is a wiki. You can't just throw everyone out. Posting stuff here means you have to understand that it's going to be edited. We've worked fine until now. But you've just used Teh Ping's changes to just shut all of us dedicated editors out completely. Not to mention you used such abusive language. Did something happen? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  23:39, 4 November 2012 (CST)

:The original purpose of editors was to help those whose command of the English language was weaker than the language than they were translating from. However when an editor's grasp of the English language is inferior to the translator's own, then having an editor becomes redundant. --[[User:Hayashi s|Hayashi s]] ([[User talk:Hayashi s|talk]]) 23:46, 4 November 2012 (CST)

::That still doesn't mean you remove us like that. Is this because of the bobble SFX thing. I only asked to confirm it you know. After understanding I stopped asking you to change it. I even went so far as to give a link to a funny video so that you would laugh and it would lighten the mood. I had absolutely no ill-intent. What is this? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  23:52, 4 November 2012 (CST)

::Throwing us out like this is like not acknowledging the help we have given so far. It's wrong of you to do so. And I hardly think our English skills are so bad that you need to consider us inferior. Even if you think you're so good there will be times when you make mistakes. Shutting us out like that is wrong of you. I humbly ask that you reconsider this action. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  23:57, 4 November 2012 (CST)

::Furthermore you're not the only translator that's contributed. Stellarroze has too and we've edited her work as well. If you remove our names it's just like taking a translator's work and publishing it as their own. It's seriously wrong. I beg of you. Please reconsider. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  00:32, 5 November 2012 (CST)

:::G'morning Zero. Please don't drag my name into this...especially as I've done nothing compared to hayashi. He's also the project supervisor, so he has the final say so. I think the problem is the fact that the amount of formatting changes you do, outweights the actual editing...Maybe...(well that's what I've noticed) [[User:Stellarroze|Stellarroze]] 00:55, 5 November 2012 (CST)

 Note: The following comment was posted after Hayashi_s removed his translations

Hey that's got nothing to do with it. I just couldn't find anything grammatically wrong after the first few chapters. He was just that good. Furthermore, he helped teach me a lot. But that is that and this is this. Just because he's the project supervisor doesn't mean he has control over everything and he can shut everyone out. He was being totally possessive and I just told him that what he was doing was wrong. This is a group effort not a one man show. I don't know what got into him it's like he's a totally different person from the hayashi_s I know. And if he wants to just up and remove everything then that's his choice. I did nothing, NOTHING wrong. If you want any proof then see the message he first gave above I for one haven't ever seen him swear at anyone like that before. Something must have happened that we don't know. Something that's affecting him. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  01:56, 5 November 2012 (CST)

:Zero, it is definitely true, that BT is group effort not a one man show, the problem is, that it doesn't apply to one project, on which almost all the work does one person. And to boost it if the one person is at the same time supervisor and the only translator (and good one at that) he definitely has the right to say what to do and what not. 
:I think that speaking about possessiveness is completely irrelevant, since he definitely possesses all the rights to this translation (except of the one of the original author). 
:The editors are there to help the translator with misspellings and if the translator isn't good in english than correct their other mistakes, not to change style of text and similar things (definitely not if the translator doesn't wish so). And one last thing. If editor leaves, there are always many others to replace him. Even if they weren't, in the case the translator is at least averagely good in english, it won´t change the quality of his work so much. If translator leaves all the editors can do whatever they want but they will NEVER be able to compensate for him.--[[User:KaprJarda|KaprJarda]] ([[User talk:KaprJarda|talk]]) 08:32, 6 November 2012 (CST)

:By the way I don´t have anything against you personally and in the first place I don´t know every detail about what happened so I am not speaking about the incident.

:Sadly, that is mostly my fault. I wanted to keep this under wraps. Yes, I know Oni could have done it (after a little while), but the possible questions afterwards are more than the simple matters of the few people worrying currently. This might be more messy upfront, but it is cleaner in the long run. The account was not hacked, and the deletions were vetted. I did verify he wanted to do so prior to him doing such.

Deletion of the project was the last resort. I didn't want to do it, but unfortunately it was the only solution that would leave everyone moderately happy.

After I formally took over the supervisor role for UMD, the first thing I did was to re-evaluate the list of active staff on the project. After sorting out the translators into their respective categories, I moved on to the editors. Editors are a tricky subject. According to the BT guidelines, "Editors are people who proofread the translated text and correct spelling and grammar errors. Editors are also generally native speakers of the target language and are expected to be knowledgeable of said spelling and grammar." The problem now was that I didn't need someone like that. As a native speaker, my command of the English language was (and still is) sufficient such that I could translate fluently from Japanese to English without significant error. Therefore, it was obvious to me I wouldn't need an editor in the BT sense.

What I did need was someone who was also fluent in Japanese, to point out any mistranslations that might have inadvertently occurred. But then BT was already facing a shortage of translators. It wouldn't be right to deprive BT of a potential translator just to satisfy my high standards. Hence, the post regarding editors.

Consulting all the past edits on UMD, I found there were no significant contributions from any of the editors that corrected any glaring errors on the wiki. So, I purged the editor section. However, after doing so, it was brought to my attention that doing so without warning was high-handed and unfair, since there were other translators on the project and editors did edit their work.

Therefore, I had 2 options:
:1.) Delete all other translator's work, so that I'd be the sole contributor and therefore be able to remove the editor list.

::Obviously, this was stupid. The aim of BT is to encourage anyone and everyone to contribute; deleting stuff would be disrespecting the effort put in by the other translators.

:2.) Remove my work, and step down from the project.

::My problem lay with the fact I didn't want an editor, while the editor didn't want to leave. So in order to avoid a messy debacle over something so trivial as a simple list and who's on it, I decided that he could keep his editing role, but since having an editor went against my wishes I would have to step down. Plus, I realized the two other editors had made significant contributions in areas not related to actual editing, but valuable nonetheless and removing them like that would be unfair to them as well. Hence, stepping down was the only choice left.

This way, I could retain control over my work without needless interference and the editor would still remain on that list. The only people left worse off are the people who follow UMD. To you, I say this: Just because UMD might never appear on BT again doesn't mean it'll be lost forever. BT is not the only place to find LNs, it is merely the biggest. Someday the deliciously tsundere Charlotte and the lethally yandere Yaya may yet appear in some corner of the internet. Thank you for all your support while I was active on UMD.

::Actually, If you don't want people to edit your work, you could ask for it to be protected. As for the past contributions of editors, I think you could list them as inactive, I believe that should shove the problem, they still have credit for the past contributions but they wil not edit your work anymore.

Well, this escalated quickly... I only have to say: 

1.Thanks Hayashi for your translations 'til now, sad it finished this way, but I enjoyed it, if you ever think about coming back, I'm sure you will be welcomed, if you don't, well, it's your option, I hope you good anyways.

2.Zero2001, I'm sure you didn't want this, I won't blame you, but I can't deny (I hope you also don't) you took the big part on this. Don't let your pride win, you should apologize at least.

3.I saw this coming with the previous edits, but I'm not an English speaker (maybe all you already saw it in my text xD), so I wasn't sure about putting my comments before this storm began.

He's a textbook elitist and he has no justifiable reason to take down his translation in this case. It was done out of pure spite and that's pretty silly. Translators like this generally slow growth of the community and can't admit when they're wrong, which is bad for everyone. Don't give me the nine yards on how the translation belongs to you, because it doesn't until you get a license from the creator.

-:btw. that isnt neceassary true. A dedicated editor is usually an editor who works closely with the translator and looks for errors before the translation is even posted... sometimes the check for inconsistencies is part of it, but not always. --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] ([[User talk:Darklor|talk]]) 05:27, 10 November 2012 (CST)

 Excuse me Hayashi_s, but I don't think what you are doing is right. This is a wiki. You can't just throw everyone out. Posting stuff here means you have to understand that it's going to be edited. We've worked fine until now. But you've just used Teh Ping's changes to just shut all of us dedicated editors out completely. Not to mention you used such abusive language. Did something happen?

As for the past contributions of editors, I think you could list them as inactive, I believe that should shove the problem, they still have credit for the past contributions but they wil not edit your work anymore. I hope that you could continue translating but either ways i respect your decision . --[[Special:Contributions/113.190.233.9|113.190.233.9]] ([[User_talk:113.190.233.9|Talk]])‎ 00:56, 7 November 2012‎

-Based on my discretion, Translations -might- have stopped. Thus, I'll be linking Shishi's UMD translations here (And yes, I had a go signal from him that he'll allow his translations to stay on BT, provided, it will link on his translation blog / wordpress)
-Also, to avoid confusion, I'll start linking at Chapter 2 (Simple courtesy encase [[User:Paulywolly|Paulywolly]] indeed finished Chapter 1)
-I changed the link to prologue.  It just didn't make sense to have a 1.5% complete page when we have a 100% (as far as I know) translation via link.  [[User:Catahn|Catahn]] ([[User talk:Catahn|talk]]) 23:46, 30 November 2012 (CST)
