i don't know whether you've seen it since i last updated it, but i've done about all i can do. there probably needs to be some extra info, some pictures, some links to other articles and some changes in relation to the dreamcast and PC versions. i've only played the ps and revoultion versions, so what i wrote was beased on that.

So it's open for work? (Never actually knew that...) Anyways, I'll have to find some time to work on it. Lots of work lately...Though we could try for templates and infoboxes then. (Don't really have time to check if anything like that is there yet, too busy still.) I'll get in there some day though, being a Rayman and Wikipedia veteran. (Could've gone for an administrative position there, though I don't have time right now nor did I muster up so much motivation...for now anyways. Maybe later.)

It was just a mistake in the main CSS file ;)

I count on you ;) Some members are already doing a great job, but your help would be greatly appreciated too!

Ah, it's so damn easy to make a mistake in CSS myself.

*Sigh* I wish I knew who all those anonymous editors are. Most of them are doing a good job and I'd like to talk to them, but knowing what this wiki is like with any links with special characters in... :roll:

I've done before myself.

I'll do what I can when I have time. It's the weekend though and I might start sometime over the weekend then.

Another quick question: what was the name of the Japanese teensie doctor in Rayman 3? I've been making articles about all of the Rayman 3 characters today, I know the names of the other two, but even now I never got to catch his name... :roll:

Also, how many Teensie tribes were there, and are their proper names like, Tufkins, Nookins etc?

i've always wanted to know that. i think the french name is Art Rytus, according to the ranklist. wait, i just remembered, i think Hunch screwed up when he posted the ranlists, because the english one has the french names (Al Urgic, Art Rytus) and the french one has the english names (otto, Romeo) go to the french ranklist. i think its les rangs.

Hold up - I just looked up the Wikipedia and Answers.com articles on Rayman 3 and it says that his name is Gonzo or Art Rytus. Now, to find which name to choose when I go and make the article [either way I can still make a redirect page for one of them].

hmmm. i'd recommend going with art rytus, because there's more than one place where his name is written as that (wikipedia and the ranklist). but i really don't know where they got Gonzo from. and i don't know where Hunch got garatta ciatrik from.

Otto Psi, Roméo Patti and Garatta Ciatik are doubtless the French names, as they're actually puns. Maybe they were also used in the US or UK version, but I got the names Kal Ory, Al Urgic and Art Rytus (which are English puns) from the English version of some official Rayman website.

Oh gawd, and what terrible puns they are! XD!!!

Now onto different things. Someone's been putting German translations of the main page and the Rayman 1 page in the English versions. What should be done about that, since we don't have a German wiki? :shock:

Does he say that in both UK and US versions?
By the way, I just saw Raymafa's modifications. I don't have anything against the wiki being in German too, but I don't feel like creating a whole new database though, considering it may certainly be as inactive as the German forums I created at the very beginning of PC (which were eventually deleted due to inactivity, just like the Dutch forums later). However, I suggest we use the English wiki to store the German articles, and in case of name conflict, we would add (De) at the end.
Any thoughts on this?

By the way, I have good news: you only have to log in once for both French and English versions of RayWiki now. The next step would be to share phpBB and MediaWiki sessions, but it seems really hard.

Because the game localisation is different for the US and the UK. For instance, the Rayman 3 logo wasn't the same.

true, but i think they have the same voices. and if they have the same voices, they probably wouldn't say different things. and if we really want to know, we just have to find an american and an english person and ask them.
