Hey Spiral. Thanks for your addition to the [[Chamber of the Teensies]] article, it's always great to have a lot of pictures. But just keep in mind that black stripes have to be removed before you upload them to the wiki, for they're quite ugly and useless ;) | Hey Spiral.

== File:Razorbeard escape pod.jpg == | |||
Hey Spiral, could you please tell me which version this file is from, so that I can add the 'Image' template (you can do it too of course)? —[[User:Hunchman801|Hunchman801]] 16:51, 26 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
:It's from the N64 version. I almost always forget to add the template. I'll do it now. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] 18:21, 26 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

::: That one's from the N64 version. Most of my screenshots are. Project64 is much more convenient for getting screenshots than nullDC, what with the save states and fast-forwarding functionality. You can tell this particular image is from the N64 version because the Lum looks all pixellated and sprite-like. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] 19:02, 26 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Uploads == | |||
Awesome uploads today, Spiral! Let me know if you need any help to include them all in their respective articles. By the way, this reminds me that we have a total of 317 [[Special:UnusedFiles|unused files]] at the moment, many of which could be used to illustrate our articles. It would be absolutely great to do some clean-up there, i.e. include some in the relevant articles and delete all the rest, as I don't see the point in keeping unused files. For commodity reasons, maybe we could list them here (or anywhere else) and decide with the rest of the community which to keep and which to get rid of. Any remarks or suggestions? :) — [[User:Hunchman801|Hunchman801]] 17:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

:I few months back I replayed R2 PS1 while taking dozens and dozens of screenshots. I finally got round to selecting the useful ones and uploading them today. I was too lazy to add any of them, but I have at least one relevant page in mind for each of them; they will all be used. The same goes for most of the other pictures I've uploaded over the last few months but haven't bothered to include in any pages yet. I think we'll need to decide what we're going to do with all the Hall of Doors images, as well as the large number of GBC screenshots, but apart from those I think each image should be judged on its own merits. I will do some work soon. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] 20:54, 27 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

== Pages with no pictures == | |||
Spiral, is there a way to research for pages that haven't got pictures? | |||
Because the Special pages section doesn't seem to show a category of that. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 21:01, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
:As far as I'm aware, there is no way to filter articles to show only pages without images. However, you can search for [[Special:ShortPages|short pages]], many of which lack images, and you can also search for [[Special:WantedFiles|wanted files]] – images which are linked-to on pages, but have not yet been uploaded. If you're looking for pages that lack images, these are the closest you can get. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 21:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||

== Céloche screenshots == | |||
Hi Spiral, two of your screenshots ([[:File:Celoche 2.jpg]] and [[:File:Celoche cannon.jpg]]) now appear only in a small resolution, which I think wasn't the case when you uploaded them. If I'm right about this, do you still have the original versions on your computer? —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|link=User:Hunchman801]] 17:36, 31 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I got those images from iHeckler, who posted links to them on Céloche's talk page. When I open the links I still see small images, but I'm not sure if that's something to do with my cache or if they were ever large in the first place. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 18:51, 1 June 2011 (UTC) | |||

== Knaaren == | |||
The Knaaren had a reason to try to kill Rayman first, they saw him as an intruder and many types of people to attack any intruder. [[User:Tim auke kools|Tim auke kools]] 16:34, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:That justification doesn't work. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 16:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
And what about their king Gumsi? The Knaaren stood just behind him, even when Rayman defeated Reflux, except Reflux himself, later in the story. [[User:Tim auke kools|Tim auke kools]] 17:03, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Gumsi is a different issue. He is a neutral character. It's like the case of the mask guardians of Rayman 2. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 18:01, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:The article is about the Knaaren race in general, and they very definitely are enemies. Gumsi is a specific character whose alignment has no bearing on that of the malevolent Knaaren who stalk the tunnels while shouting things like 'tear off his flesh'. To the best of my knowledge the Knaaren's motivations are never explored in the same way that the Guardians' motivations are; they remain one-dimensional killing machines. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 18:39, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
Gumsi is itself a Knaaren and his breed is loyal to him, he is their king. [[User:Tim auke kools|Tim auke kools]] 18:47, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Alright Tim. Let me spell it out for you: | |||
*If the Queen did something illegal (for example, touching up a child), does that mean everyone in her country would see that as OK because she did it? No, it's wrong, gross and creepy. | |||
*If Gumsi's nice and kind-hearted, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Knaaren have to be too. I hope this has cleared up any doubts. --[[User:Iheckler9|iHeckler9]][[File:Life.gif|link=User:Iheckler9]] 18:57, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
The Knaaren just did their job by attacking Rayman, they protect their territory against intruders. [[User:Tim auke kools|Tim auke kools]] 19:25, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:If I recall correctly, the Knaaren attack Rayman and Globox as soon as they tumble helplessly into the tunnels, and show no sign of mercy or consideration. It is not our place to speculate regarding their social customs or morality. They are enemies, and they attack our heroes for no discernible reason; for the purposes of our 'enemy' template this makes them 'bad'. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 20:23, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Swords == | |||
Well, how do they hold them? They have a hook in one hand an a gun in the other. No hands. --[[User:Iheckler9|iHeckler9]][[File:Life.gif|link=User:Iheckler9]] 19:02, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Swords? Don't you mean drills? --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 19:37, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Check the [[Robo-Pirate]] page. --[[User:Iheckler9|iHeckler9]][[File:Life.gif|link=User:Iheckler9]] 19:57, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I just don't think it's worth mentioning that 'how they hold the swords is unknown'. It's obvious that the developers didn't come up with some secret way for the Robo-Pirates to pick the swords up with their hooks or anything like that. It's cartoon logic, and you're approaching it in a far too realistic way. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 20:23, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Mr Dark Artwork == | |||
Are you sure about putting Mr Dark's artwork in the Magician's article? Actually, it is confirmed to be Mr Dark on the website, which clearly states (possibly to avoid this situation) that it's the same Mr Dark from rayman 1, the one who stole the Great Protoon. However, we can't confirm that he's the Magician as well, as he doesn't have physical resamblance (Mr Dark looks more like the Photographer, thiner and with enormous feet). Only the hat seems to have a resamblance. | |||
:It's pretty clear that the dark character we see on the website is supposed to be the Magician. (Whether the Magician is an alter-ego or an admirer of Mr Dark is another question.) If you look closely, you can see that his top hat is similar to the Magician's, that he has the nose of a Teensy, and that he has the same grey hair as the Magician. He also appears to have similar purple and dark-blue clothing. Do you really think that [http://www.raymanpc.com/wiki/script-en/images/c/ca/Magician.png this] and [http://www.raymanpc.com/wiki/script-en/images/b/b9/Char-mr-dark.png this] are two different characters, despite their extremely similar appearance, and the fact that the second one doesn't actually appear in the game? | |||
:I don't know if the Magician is Mr Dark himself or a Mr Dark imitator, but either way, I have no doubt that it's the Magician standing on that hilltop. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 20:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Some help to update myself == | |||
Howdy Spiral, I'm back. :) | |||
Are you able to tell me what got changed in the RayWiki in the last 2 months? It appears to be impossible for me to see every edit done since then, I've just tried to use the "Recent changes" page but I think it won't show what I pretend. I want to see the major edits/creations done to the RayWiki since my absence, since I want to continue to contribute for this project. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 23:22, 14 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I haven't been keeping track, so I can't really remember specific things that happened two months ago. I guess we've written lots of Rayman Origins articles while you were away, including some information about characters like Tarayzan that was in the Origins script but not in the final game. We've also finally started adding information about English with Rayman. We haven't been able to come to a decision regarding Mr Dark and the Magician, so we've attempted to explain the confusion in both pages. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 14:09, 15 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Yeah, pretty much all Rayman Origins levels articles are created and I've been trying to fatten them up with infoboxes, descriptions and stuff, along with stuff about the characters. --[[User:Cairnie|Cairnie]] 16:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
::I also noticed that some pages got updated, like the Archipelago article (which did not exist, but it concerns about the islands of the Glade), some character pages, World of Toys... I guess it is just a matter of time. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 19:44, 15 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Rayman's voice acting in Rayman Origins == | |||
Sorry spiral, but I'm pretty sure that Douglas Rand voices Rayman in Rayman Origins; he may sound high-pitched, but if you pay attention and hear his voice, there's no way that rayman is voiced by a female. His voice is also quite similar to the Magician's. Think about this: why would the developers use a girl to portray a male hero for his heroic return to platformers? No offense to the female dubbers, but it seems inappropiate. Sorry for what I'm going to say, but if your logic is right, Super Mario is totally voiced by a girl.--[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 22:44, 5 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
:It's not as uncommon as you seem to think; many male cartoon characters are voiced by women, including Bart Simpson and some of the kids from the Rugrats. As far as I can recall, Rayman does not speak at all in Origins – his only vocalisations in the game are the panting and grunting sounds he makes when he jumps or gets hit, and they sound quite feminine to me. (And is he the one who says 'Eck-point-chay'? I'm pretty sure that's a woman.) It's safe to assume that Douglas Rand voiced characters like Globox and the Bubble Dreamer, as they've got very deep voices that could only have been provided by a man, but Rayman's voice in the game is too ambiguous to say for certain. I don't think we should list any actor as providing Rayman's voice in Origins until we know for sure who it was. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 22:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC) | |||

Um, I think Suckerberg has closed the account on the Battle Royale page, that or I just can't get to it from here.
