The English version didn't have anything that was of value previously. 2013-03-09T06:00:28 Here is the version of the Shinigami page before I edited it: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shinigami&oldid=541952253 2013-03-09T06:00:29 <[Bot]MagicStone> Title: Shinigami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) 2013-03-09T06:01:23 Just reading the old version of the page makes me laugh 2013-03-09T06:03:12 So yes, that's what the page looked like before March 4 2013-03-09T06:07:17 Hmm... 2013-03-09T06:08:13 I read through it... 2013-03-09T06:08:24 And do you use alternate names on wikipedia? 2013-03-09T06:08:48 Only 2, and I abandoned my previous name... however a lot of the times, I edit not logged in. 2013-03-09T06:09:22 Ah... 2013-03-09T06:09:31 Why did you abandon your name? 2013-03-09T06:10:35 Because I wanted to use a new one, and I think that by calling myself the name of a book, I was being a bit pretentious especially since I never even read it. 2013-03-09T06:11:09 You should also check out the Funayūrei page. Here is the old version: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Funay%C5%ABrei&oldid=521960054 2013-03-09T06:11:10 <[Bot]MagicStone> Title: Funayūrei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) 2013-03-09T06:11:20 I guess that I already mentioned that one a while ago, though... 2013-03-09T06:11:46 Also, I wonder, did I tell you about the Tsuchigumo page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuchigumo 2013-03-09T06:11:47 <[Bot]MagicStone> Title: Tsuchigumo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) 2013-03-09T06:12:17 That one, I think you did 2013-03-09T06:12:25 And you never told me about the book thing 2013-03-09T06:12:26 :o 2013-03-09T06:28:33 *** Kief_ has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T06:29:02 Huh. 2013-03-09T06:29:15 Wrong turn somewhere, I suppose~ 2013-03-09T06:29:24 *** tosiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T06:31:50 *** linkmauve1 has quit IRC 2013-03-09T06:44:18 *** tosiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T06:59:43 Okay, new page created: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayakashi_(y%C5%8Dkai) 2013-03-09T07:00:48 *** Nazeo has quit IRC 2013-03-09T07:19:50 *** Ibaraki_Ibuki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T07:45:16 *** tosiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T07:45:45 *** tosiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T08:30:29 tosiaki, why don't you translate/romanize captions under images, at least in parentheses after the original name, if it has one? 2013-03-09T08:38:26 also, i don't get why someone would cut just 1-3 pixels from each dimension of an image.

Although it does amaze me how such nonsense could be translated into so many languages. 2013-03-09T10:24:59 *** Nmlgc has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T10:46:20 *** Tosiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T10:50:20 *** toshiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T10:50:55 *** toshiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T10:51:30 *** Tosiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T10:53:25 *** fsvgm777 has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T11:20:19 *** Tosiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T11:24:30 *** toshiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T12:50:48 *** toshiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T12:50:48 *** Tosiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T13:15:00 *** fsvgm777 has quit IRC 2013-03-09T13:16:11 *** fsvgm777 has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T14:01:05 *** toshiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T14:20:03 *** Taro has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T17:01:42 *** Kief has quit IRC 2013-03-09T17:10:24 *** nurupo has quit IRC 2013-03-09T17:20:58 *** nurupo has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T18:33:54 *** Ibaraki_Ibuki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T19:10:50 *** fsvgm777 has quit IRC 2013-03-09T19:12:12 *** fsvgm777 has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T19:12:36 *** Kief has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T20:21:55 *** tosiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T22:42:39 *** tosiaki has quit IRC 2013-03-09T22:59:42 *** tosiaki has joined #thcrap 2013-03-09T23:57:17 *** fsvgm777 has quit IRC
