Hey, when you get promoted/if you're promoted already, could you bump up unbreakable machine doll from teaser to full project status? Thanks alot. --Hayashi s 08:36, 11 June 2012 (CDT)

Duly noted.--Teh Ping 05:47, 12 June 2012 (CDT)

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)

Congratulations on the promotion ! --Saganatsu 16:28, 2 July 2011 (UCT)

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo

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.

Thanks for passing the message. Zephyrus 03:24, 6 March 2012 (CST)

Yo man, I hope your wrist is getting better! Get well soon!! M.A.D - Talk 17:32, 10 August 2012 (CDT)

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)

Stuttering

Careful. Stuttering is denoted differently in Japanese and English. In Japanese stuttering is denoted by comma or three dots. Whereas in English stuttering is denoted by hyphen or three dots. The reason is to ensure that the I in stuttering words like I-It aren't mistaken with the self reference word I. There are other similar instances as well. Since commas would allow for such mistakes to happen thus hyphens are used instead. Such conflicts do not occur in Japanese (due to watashi, boku, etc instead of in English where I can be confused since most stutterings are of words that start with I or similar curcumsatnces, A is another one). See here. Take care. Zero2001 - Talk - 12:41, 9 February 2012 (CST)

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)

to Teh_Ping

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

Deck of cards 22:57, 16 May 2012 (CDT) I don't know if I'm doing this right I'm a complete noob to baka-tsuki. I'm replying to your message you sent me earlier; it's an original fiction that I created myself, I'm just looking to share it with others and I was wondering if that was a possibility?

Hi I got your message, I'm trying to post it on a forum right now and make a poll (which I don't really know how to do just yetx0.) Also, I'm encountering another problem at the moment, even when I press the preview button it says 'The username you entered is already in use, please select an alternative.' Any suggestions?? Deck of cards 22:32, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Haha alright mission accomplished. One problem, by accident I posted two threads. The first one I wrote said it didn't go through so I re-did it. Would you mind deleting one of them?? Deck of cards 00:53, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

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 (CD

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)

Moving talk pages

Are you able to track new messages? Kira (Talk) 19:19, 10 October 2011 (CDT)

I just need to set it as 'watch page', so yeah, I can track them.--Teh Ping 00:27, 11 October 2011 (CDT)

Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai:Volume1 Past

Uh, that was a surprise, that you translated that. Will you also translate more of this series? --Darklor 16:23, 24 November 2011 (CST)

Not really. I still have my other series to work on...--Teh Ping 17:57, 24 November 2011 (CST)

Thanks

I'm really sorry you had to fix up this page.... I swear I didn't save it.... I was planning to just submit it later after I had a bit of sleep. So I was shocked to find it there all neat and tidy this morning...

Anyway, thank you very much!

Asking for a favor

Hi Teh Ping, do you know how to contact Js06? I want to translate one of his project into Vietnamese so I asked for permission in the forum, and no one answer. Then I posted in Js06 talk page (since he is the only one translating it) and no answer. Finally I posted in the PJ talk page and still got no answer. So if you happen to know how to contact him, please told him to answer me. Thank you Gingi 11:40, 21 April 2012 (CDT)

Is it about Heavy Object, Oreimo or Monogatari? I can help you ask him if you want, but I need to know what series you're interested in.--Teh Ping 11:52, 21 April 2012 (CDT)

Oh yeah, sorry, my bad. It's Heavy Object Gingi 11:57, 21 April 2012 (CDT)

Yes, you're allowed to.--Teh Ping 01:25, 22 April 2012 (CDT)

Thanks man. Gingi 06:17, 22 April 2012 (CDT)

Hi there. This is regarding the Fan Fiction project by Deck of cards. Sorry since I was the one who advised him to directly post the series on the Wiki without understanding the rules first. Based on your advise I think he posted it on the forum but in Future Project Suggestions. Can you help on moving it to the Fan Fiction project? I don't know how to do it or I don't have the power to do it.

Group Membership

Hey, I'm an Indonesian translator, so can you upgrade my group membership to translator? Thanks. --Gwilthyunman 19:49, 11 June 2012 (CDT)

me too... Is it possible..? Tony Yon 06:26, 12 June 2012 (CDT)

Please upgrade mine too. Is it still possible? Thanks Arczyx 08:49, 12 June 2012 (CDT)

Do note that I can only promote people to only translator or editor at this point.--Teh Ping 09:12, 12 June 2012 (CDT)

Oh venerable dark lord, Teh_Ping-sama. May I ask an upgrade for my account to translator? May you give thy grace to thou benevolent worshiper. -Lan013 - Talk 09:06, 19 July 2012 (CDT)

i'm a TL, but what do u get if you have this group membership?- idiffer

You get a level up, of course, with some nifty skills like deleting pages, quick re-rolling edits and patrolling edits. --Rock96 09:46, 19 July 2012 (CDT)

thanks, rock. then i'm in. i need some pages deleted... can you pls upgrade me, teh ping?- idiffer

hi, can I get an upgrade to translator and editor? Hayashi s 11:37, 24 July 2012 (CDT)

About Indowebster

I'm very sorry about one of our member (in indowebster) for making such profit from printed PDF

although I had long in IDWS, this is my first time I heard something like this (I haven't looked in shopping corner section until now)
I am also one of the translator in BT, so I understand, and also objected to make profit from PDF

for now I have talked to oelil (the one who selling the pdf) and some of our moderators and super moderators to prevent something like this happened again)
and oelil also has closed his thread voluntarily

I'm as the representative from Indowebster, sincerely apologize to Baka-Tsuki and all of the translators for our rude behaviour

PS : please forgive me if my english is bad since it's not my primary language

-- LiTTleDRAgo (Talk) 11:43, 2 August 2012 (CDT)

Just like he said, LiTTleDRAgo already talk with the moderators there and the problem is cleared.

I also sincerely apologize on behalf of my fellow Indonesians, so please restore the SAO pages again, for the sake of the honor of my country (Indonesia have bad people just like any other country, and I don't want my country to be bullied by BT members because of them).

So, please...

Also, the main page too...

Arczyx - Talk 12:24, 2 August 2012 (CDT)

I edited the main page to remove any implications of Indonesia since it seems that there was only one person, but I am not going to restore volume 9.--Teh Ping 12:38, 2 August 2012 (CDT)

Thank you very much for the main page. Regarding volume 9, you really mean to ban it for 3 days? Well, if you see this as a fitting shock therapy, then I won't object. I suggest you also put up a warning on SAO page saying "Don't profiting from our hard work" or something so people gonna know why volume 9 got deleted and no one from any country will do something like this ever again (just don't mention Indonesia in there though). Arczyx - Talk 16:31, 2 August 2012 (CDT)

I understand, it's unfortunate things have turned like this,
if this will really soothe your anger, then I shall speak no more about this -- LiTTleDRAgo (Talk) 18:41, 2 August 2012 (CDT)

Changing Default Signature for all member users

Hey Teh Ping, I have a favor to ask. You know how annoying it is to go through the user page to get to a user's talk page via the default signature; especially when you're in a hurry. Well I found a way to fix that. But I need a supervisor or above to do it for me. Can you copy the source code of this page to MediaWiki:Signature? It would be a great help if you did. Zero2001 - Talk - 13:16, 4 August 2012 (CDT)

I need TLG's permission for that though.--Teh Ping 21:05, 4 August 2012 (CDT)

I've already asked Onizuka and Thelastguardian. Let's see how it goes. Although it wouldn't hurt if you gave a little support. Honestly, I don't think you'd really need permission because even wikipedia edited it's default signature to include a direct link to the user's talk page (See the external link above). Plus, it's a less time consuming method than going out of our way to get to a user's talk page. Or to ask users and explain to users how to manually edit their signature.
