Wel, to be fair, I altered the Trivia section to undo the edit. Weedle McHairybug 00:01, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

=Hey!= are you the admin of metalgear wikia? i need your approval to use my pywikipediabot. AND: i lOOOVE MGS. Solid Snake rules.

"Intrusion Mode"
I didn't mean to upset anyone or anything by my editing of other people's personal pages. I understand why someone would see that kind of editing as intrusive. I did so only to help those who seemed to be new to the wiki experience and don't know how to make a cool page. If anyone has a problem with that (I know Fantomas did), I apologize. But, I will say, that I did get a compliment from one of the people I assisted :) "Your welcome" to that user. Sterlng 8:18 PM, 26 February '09

Metal Gear Wiki Update?
I notice we havn't had much of a facelift, the news about Hideo's birthday is really old. So Im asking we should do a major facelift not only to the main page but through-out the entire site. I say we should have a major article, then a quote of the day, maybwe can fit a "Did you know?" section on the main page. To be honest, Im tired of coming to a wiki site and nothing is new. I can fully understand that maybe MGS 4 news are not as regular but we can also produce other news like MGS comics, or other types of media including interviews. But thats just my two cents, if you guys do not have the spare time I understand. Ruthlessgravity 5:00 PM, 21 January '08

Upgrade to the Family Tree
Hey man, I just made some major improvements to the tree, Im also going to be adding in more tree's along with the game's time. If you want to make any improvements to any of them, go ahead. Ruthlessgravity 11:04 PM, 1 December '07

Family Tree
Yo Fantomas, I was working on the Family Tree for a while and I just wanted to show you the family tree, its just the basic skin, I was wondering if you can clear some things up on it. Check out Family Tree - Ruthlessgravity 6:18 PM, 30 November '07

Dude Episode 1: The Phantom Dude
Dude.....Ive put categories on the ADAM and Outer Heaven pages however they need some writing in them. I thought id tell u so u knew what stuff needs doing. I also did a page for Scott Dolph, but it needs some work.

Also there is a new category, this being Category:Locations. This is used for any locations in the games. Cheers dude - Selo 09:44, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Perspective Request
Err are you sure I was the one who requested the change in perspective? I think it's a good idea, I just don't wanna take credit.--Drawde83 02:11, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Les Enfants Terribles
I was actually the one who did the most recent change to the article before yours (compromise) can you tell me where Hideo actually said that it was the virtuous mission nuke that sterilised him?

Gas Snake
If I were you I would leave this Gas Snake character alone. By talking to him your giving him a reason to stick around. If he changes an actual page then we can revert him (if that seems right)--Drawde83 05:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well you can keep arguing with him, I don't think he's done anything really wrong, just as long as your aware of whats going on. --Drawde83 21:22, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

an invitation
I dunno if you have realised but I've been working on WikiSocial and it would be great If you could join. At the moment we need people who can edit wikitext. There are a number of tasks and we just need people who can start working on them. If it becomes a success it will help this wiki as well, as members of both wikis(such as myself) will help publicise it.´

Metal Gear Wiki on Gamespot
Wikia has partnered with Gamespot to let them link to our some of Wikia's game wikis. This is a great way to promote our wikis to Gamespot's readers and recruit new readers and editors. We launched four of them in November (Halo, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, and Tabula Rasa) and we are planning to add a bunch more in February, including Metal Gear Wiki. They are interested in adding a Metal Gear Wiki tab to their Gamespot Metal Gear gamepage. This tab would look identical to the Halopedia Tab. The content (Featured articles, Recent Changes, Popular Articles) is generated via a content feed that Wikia sets up.

For this to work for Metal Gear Wiki, I would need your help setting up a Featured Content templates similar to how Mass Effect does it. This allows the Wikia feed to send Gamespot featured content snippets and images. There are instructions for how to do this on w:c:inside:Featured Article System. Please let me know if you can help out getting this set up? Kirkburn (talk) 05:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Fantomas, just a quick not to let you know I moved the Featured Article page to Project:Featured_content per the instructions on w:c:inside:Featured Article System...It has to be in a project namespace for the API to work.. Thanks for getting this up so quicly! The wiki tab should show up on Gamespot in about 2-3 weeks. I will let you know when I have a more exact date angies (talk) 20:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Spanish Version
Hi Fantomas, I'm an administrator in the Spanish Version of Metal Gear Wiki, it is very small at the moment, but we are trying to make of it a great wiki; I'm working on that :) This english version is very cool, I like it. See you. Playsonic2 D W 17:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the answer, Metal Gear fans must stick together, this is true :) Well, I can't speak english... just a little. The Spanish Wiki is very small, and I have to do some important pages at the moment. Later, I have to do some articles for the wiki :) I read some articles in english, like the article "Raiden". I like this, it's very complete ;) See you Playsonic2 D W16:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey! An admin of wikia put "interwikis" in the spanish Metal Gear Wiki. If you see, for example: the spanish article Gray Fox. If you look in the sidebar, there is a word... "English". This is a link to the english version :D Now I'm putting the Interwiki in some articles of the wiki, because it's very cool :) See ya &bull; Playsonic2 D W14:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Of course, you just need to talk to one of the admins of wikia, he installs the Interwiki and you can use this, like Article in the article. &bull; Playsonic2 D W 16:05, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Sorry about that I meant to tell you. So what I've been doing was
 * 1) Created a bunch of help pages and put them in Category:Help
 * 2) Created Template:Welcome for welcoming users to the wiki
 * 3) Set up the forums
 * 4) Created some categories for categorizing pages related to the management of the wiki (e.g. Category:Organisation or Category:Policy)
 * 5) Created copyright templates which are usually by default already on newer wikis so I just created them (they're used for images mainly)
 * 6) Created the category that goes with those templates.

What I was planning next was possibly changing some of the templates used on the wiki, like making Template:Game Infobox look like the old version (or new version) on Wikipedia, as well as creating a character infobox for the characters.

I'm also planning on editing the sidebar so that it links to the games, events, characters, etc., adding some useful code to MediaWiki:Common.css (like infobox tables and messagebox tables), creating new content and organizing and expanding what's already been created, and attracting more users to the wiki.

I was planning on collaborating with you and the community of everyone agrees on these things (mainly the changes in the templates).--Richard 00:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, so what I've done today is I've edited MediaWiki:Sidebar to include navigation to articles (like games and characters). Feel free to edit it and include whatever else you think should be in there. I've also edited MediaWiki:Common.css to include some CSS such as infobox tables, wikitable, and messageboxes. I also cleaned up the forums so that they look normal now.


 * What I was planning on doing next is editing Template:Game Infobox and creating a character infobox, most likely naming it Template:Character Infobox, which will detail which games they are in, their designer and creator, voice actors, naionalities, etc.--Richard 01:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I've changed the appearance of Template:Game Infobox. It's based on this version of Template:Infobox VG on Wikipedia. I've left all the fields in it and added new ones, which won't appear unless you fill them in. I'll create a character infobox tomorrow.--Richard 01:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Character Infobox
I've created Template:Character Infobox for characters. I'd like you know what you think about it as I plan on inserting it on all character articles. You can see what it looks like with the fields filled in at the sandbox.--Richard 00:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the welcome. I'll probably be doing some more editing as MGS4 nears release, so you'll see me around. ;)

Favicon and forum icon
Hey Fantomas. I've uploaded a new favicon, the image that appears in the browser's address bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and in tabbed browsers next to the page's title. I've also uploaded a new image for the forums, Image:Forum new.gif. It will appear when there are new posts in the forum. Both the images are taken from Smash Bros. DOJO!!--Richard 01:42, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Blocking of Artwork0
Hi Fantomas. I just thought I'd let you know that Wikia's techs are fine with large images being uploaded to the wiki, so Artwork0 hasn't done anything wrong. Regarding all the images he's been uploading, it might be good just to let him do his thing as those are very nice quality images he's been uploading. Anyway, it's up to you what to do to him though. I understand what you did though. But the main point I wanted to tell you was that it's fine if people upload lots of large, high quality images – Wikia's servers can handle it pretty good and you won't get in any trouble.--Richard 22:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Philosophers' Legacy Page
Just your Friendly Neighborhood Braska again. Hey the info in that page just doesn't feel right to me. I think we need to replay MGS3 & MPO especially the ending. If I remember correctly, it was spelled out pretty intensly where and what happend to the legacy. Just lemme know. Also LOL we need to start encouraging people to put references to things like the Les Enfants Terribles quote from Hideo in a references section at the end of the wiki.

RE: Are We Allowed to...
Hi Fantomas. You can go ahead and protect those pages from IPs, or you could fully protect them even so that only admins can edit them until June 12. It should be alright, just try not to protect a whole bunch of pages, which might discourage people from contributing. We could put up a notice on the pages that are protected saying, "This page is protected to prevent spoilers" or something. It should be alright.--Richard 19:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If we are gonna be protecting pages I would suggest protecting the main page. It doesn't change much except for vandals removing all the content. It's easy enough to revert this but still reflects badly on the wiki in the time it takes for us to notice it. --Drawde83 22:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Arkhound banning
I just got an apology from Arkhound about posting that spoiler. He said that he doesn't mind if he remains banned for the rest of the month. However I feel that he's been unfairly banned as it would have been quite easy to revert his edit and to warn him about posting spoilers. He has been a regular contributor and we want to encourage contributors like him to stick around.

I think we should unban him or in the worst case bring it forward to week so that he can't post spoilers. --Drawde83 02:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Reply

 * I'll thank Drawde83 for understanding me and unbanning and I apologize for posting that spoiler. However, I do not appreciate the way you, Fantomas, handled the situation: your rude tone, lack of prior notification and the lack of any means to communicate with you does not motivate to contribute any further to your wiki. Nevermind I've contributed more content here than most users ever do (both directly and indirectly). Arkhound 00:05, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Fantomas, you are my only hope...
Sorry about the Star Wars reference, but I found something that I don't understand, and no-one seems to have noticed. When following the mountain trail in Act 2 in MGS4, there is a bridge very early on. Right past that, there's a weird-looking plant, and a rock. If you look at the rock's right side with the Solid Eye's Night Vision, It looks like the word "southern", followed by a string of letters and numbers. To the best of my ability, it looks like the string is 29-W5574. The 2 is hard to see unless you look at it without Night Vision. Is there anything like this in the Ac!d or Portable Ops games? I haven't played them, and I haven't seen anything like this in the other Solid games. HELP ME!--User:Dark Microbot 13:45 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Well... I'll take your word for it. Stupid server is too low-tech to handle Google Toolbar, let alone Earth. Oh well. (I'll enter it in the Password screen just to be sure.)--User:Dark Microbot clock killed itself 21 July 2008 (UTC)

A small problem
The Metal Gear series article is in need of an MGS4 section. I haven't played it, but I was thinking you might have. So could you put it on there? B-52 18:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

um two things

"Current status"es / Red Xs
Hey, noticed a lot of hoobla around the "Current Stauts" attribute of certain characters. I noticed a small conflict regarding the beasts a few days ago, and now I saw that thing on Python's article.

In order to solve this issue, how about we just put their what the mgs4 database says? If the database says "Neutralized" under the red X, we hit type "Unknown", and only write "Deceased" if it specifically says "Killed"? Chaos91 19:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

User Reply

Trivia Sections
I've begun a little work, putting in trivial items to certain characters under new sub-headings trivia. I feel this is appropriate as MGS is full of easter eggs, and these things are very interesting.

Ages
Hey, I think we should add an "Age" section in the info box on character pages. You could put the age of the character and then the game that the age corresponds to next to it in parentheses. If we don't know the exact or at least general age of a person, then we can just leave it alone. -SneakMasterSolid

Email: jqrgenjohansen@hotmail.com Jqrg1 18:37, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Ivan is not a racist term used to refer to Russians.
What it actually is is a generic Russian name; it's much like calling a Frenchman Claude because he is French, or a German Fritz because he is German. It's offensive because you assume the name fits due to the nationality, but that doesn't mean no French man is called Claude; the term is used because it is a common name for the nationality in question, after all. Being offended by it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be his real name; it certainly doesn't mean it shouldn't be listed as a nickname, because a character used it as a nickname for him.

It's nothing like the name 'Charlie,' actually: that's just a shortening of 'Victor Charlie' which is phonetic alphabet code for 'VC' as in 'Viet Cong.' Evil Tim 07:10, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The trouble is, it's a little questionable what Ocelot was reacting to; that Raven called him General Ivan, that he made light of his injury, or both. The fact that the alias list is 'also known as' would suggest that we should include it; even if it was intended to offend him, it's still something he's known as. I mean, we include 'Akiba' which basically means 'fanboy' and is almost certainly not intended to be positive as Meryl uses it in relation to Johnny. Evil Tim 09:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Treads and augers
When considering fiction, there's a general convention that when speech contradicts plot events, the visuals are right and the speech is wrong. A good example of this would be Star Wars: characters talk about 'jumping to lightspeed,' but the distances they travel would indicate they're moving much faster than lightspeed, so either the whole universe is wrong or they are. Since people can be wrong while the universe can't, the choice is obvious.

In the case of Volgin, he's wrong; perhaps he trained with tanks and so reflexitively refers to the running gear of any armoured vehicle as 'treads,' but the Shagohod visibly has no treads, and so instructing the player to aim for the 'treads' in a walkthrough is only going to confuse them. They're not Archimedes' Screws because they don't transport water, so the correct term is auger or screw. Evil Tim 10:58, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The information on the Shagohod's dimensions was already in the article, I just moved it further down and added Imperial versions of the dimensions before the metric ones, since the only two measurements I know of in the game itself are "3 miles" and "300 miles per hour" and so the measurements should probably be primarily in Imperial. I think the armament information can mostly be retrieved from SigInt during various stages of the Shagohod battle, though I imagine the "rounds carried" stats are from wherever the measurements are from.Evil Tim 00:28, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

New Main Page and pagetitle
Hey Fantomas. I just wanted to drop by and tell you some of the changes going on at Wikia. Wikia is currently redoing the way Main Pages and pagetitles work. For pagetitles, we want them to be "Article - Wiki - 3 keywords". For example, I've updated this wiki's pagetitle so that it is now "Article - The Metal Gear Wiki - Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, and more"; this is for "search engine optimization" (SEO), which makes a website have a better result when searching for certain words in search engines like Google. For the Main Pages, we've found that using images can be more effective than text. Also, Google recommends that Main Pages have less than 100 links on them, so the images help in this respect as well. I've made a draft of what the new Main Page for the Metal Gear Wiki could look like at User:Richard1990/sandbox. We would like to have a new Main Page immediately for the Metal Gear Wiki, with all the hype surrounding the next game and E3 next week. On my draft I took out a couple things that are on the current Main Page; I removed the random picture because it uses DPL, which Wikia has disabled because it puts too much strain on the servers. If there's anything else you want done to the draft, just let me know. The Magic Bullet explains some of the SEO stuff as well.--Richardtalk 17:55, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * OK I've just put it up; I also added Category:Music and Category:Locations to it.--Richardtalk 19:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Skin
Hey Fantomas, I've made a custom skin that could be used to give the Metal Gear Wiki a different look rather than using the default skin. The image to the right is a screenshot of what the skin would look like. Would you mind having that skin for the wiki?--Richardtalk 18:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Just go to your preferences, click the "Skin" tab, and then check the dot for the skin you want to use. Under the "Admin Options" heading is where you can select the skin for the entire wiki. The default skin for wikis is Monaco Sapphire.--Richardtalk 22:49, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Fantomas, I've updated the skin again if you want to take a look (see the image to the right).--Richardtalk 21:24, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I realize how quaint it is that one of our spambots decided to make a user page, but could we keep a more watchful eye on automated accounts? Plus I swear we had a captcha; how'd that get bypassed? -- AndyWaltfeld 20:03, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Malicious Ads/Code?
Had a hell of a time getting onto the site today - Whenever the Main Page finished loading in IE8, it would immediately blank out, so I had to click something at random to actually read and edit the wiki. Also, typing this edit, it seems like IE8 wants to wait 10 seconds to display every 5 seconds of typing. Is this bad code, bad ads, Psycho/Screaming Mantis trickery, some combination of the above, or simply a sign that I should get off my lazy duff and reinstall Firefox for my new computer already? AndyWaltfeld 21:18, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Just read Richard's take on this on my talk page. Thanks for helping root out the bad ads. I guess my own Whiteout effect was a side-effect of Avast! picking up the slack when IE8 dropped the ball. -- AndyWaltfeld 21:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * To answer your question, Granin was the man who created the concept (and in certain cases, like REX, RAY, and TX-55, the blueprints), Sokolov created both the Metal Gear RAXA and the ICBMG, TX-55 and Metal Gear D were created (as in, built, not exactly in terms of blueprints) by Drago Pettrovich Madnar, Metal Gear Gustav was also likely created by Madnar [or would have been, had it not been for the collapse of Zanzibar Land]. A specific creator of Metal Gear Ray (by that, I mean the one who actually built it, not designed blueprints, as Granin was responsible for those) wasn't named, but we definitely know that the military was involved in it's creation due to the Marines guarding it. REX was evidentally created (as in, built) by Hal Emmerich/Otacon. Weedle McHairybug 13:45, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Deleted 'liquid snake' image? (File:Mgs-liquid-snake-concept.jpg)
Hi Fantomas, the artwork was by Yoji Shinkawa from 'The Art of Metal Gear Solid' book, and was originally a design for Liquid. Many of the unused designs for MGS1 were recycled for Ghost Babel, even Metal Gear Gander was originally a design for REX. I take it you were referring to Black Arts Viper? Has the image already been uploaded somewhere previously then? -- Bluerock 12:13, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

hi.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm I allowed to ask questions?-JosephFrost0304

Best MGS?
I was wondering, what is the best Metal Gear game? You see, I've only played MGS1, MGS2 & MGS3.

RE: Thanks
No problem, I had actually been making a more thorough translation of some of the old MSX2 manuals as a side project before coming to this wiki, so it seemed a good idea to share what I gleaned from them. It's kind of interesting to see how far Kojima and co went into the planning out of the early games, back in the day. -- Bluerock 19:37, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Otacon
Do you have access to editing Otacons page? I found some errors but I can't edit it so I'm asking you to do it if you will.

Under the section FOXHOUND rebellion I saw this:

"After the schematics to REX were placed on the black market by Revolver Ocelot, Nastasha Romanenko and Otacon set up Philanthropy."

It was actually Solid Snake and Otacon who set it up according to the Philanthropy page and Nastasha was a member.

Under the Manhattan Incident I saw this:

"Otacon found from the disc that not only was of the names was the biggest contributor to Philanthropy's cause, but apparently all twelve of them had been dead for more than 100 years."

Obviously there is an error when reading it.

List of weapons and items in Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker
The name of this article should be changed to something else. It also should have some images uploaded. These suggestions should be done as this page is the Equipment and Weapons for Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. I apologize for the misunderstanding before.

Please can you delete 'Category:Metal Gear Characters'?
Hey Fantomas,

Would it be possible for you to delete Category:Metal Gear Characters ?

I originally created it for characters of the first Metal Gear game on the MSX2, but I ended up making a different one instead, called 'MG Characters', in keeping with other names of similar categories e.g. MGS Characters, MGS2 characters, etc.

Hey, i seem to have made a problem on this page, and i dont know how to fix it, help please

http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_weapons#

There seems to be TWO SAA's on the page, and i cant get rid of one, plz help ~Gunsofliberty~

Also, i was thinking about adding a new page about the De-oxeganized water that Vamp fell into in MGS2, but i dont know how to put it

Speaking of the De-oxygenized water in MGS2, can someone explain exactly what was happening to Vamp after he was defeated and sunk in the water? PS, I'm not the one who suggested making a new page about the de-oxygenized water. Weedle McHairybug 02:45, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Hey dude some random user changed my whole user page to i like guys this was the ip address 97.103.24.54. The strange part was that this user only targeted me? I see if it happen agien.

United States Department of Defense
This is the information page for the Department of defense aka the Pentagon and the United States Army. It could do with some more editing and the name Pentagon should be to linked o this article.

Richard Nixon
http://images.wikia.com/common/releases_200911.3/skins/common/images/button_headline.png The Watergate Scandal article should be moved to Richard Nixon's article. Don't worry about i was just suggesting it that all thanks anyway.

Permission to edit Liquid Snake's characteristics section?
I was thinking of editing Liquid Snake's characteristics section to mention his inhuman agility (which is made evident shortly before the Metal Gear REX battle). However, seeing how Liquid seemed to only display this method in "The Twin Snakes", I was wondering if this should be noted. Have to find out if it is before I do it or else I have heck to pay, right? Weedle McHairybug 23:25, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I won't edit it. I wasn't sure anyways, like I said. Plus, Solid Snake did show Matrix-esque abilities (such as evading all of those bullets.). I wonder if Liquid Snake's superhuman abilities (such as strength and durability) have something to do with his having the dominant genes? Weedle McHairybug 03:09, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Shadow Moses Island
I think that the Shadow Moses island article should have some images from MGS4 placed on it to show the differences between it and MGS4.

Hey
There's a "upload image" on your user page.If you want i can draw a charecter with anything you want.(look http://ubcsgame.wikia.com for my drawnings.)-User:Bling1907

The Pentagon
The Pentagon page should be moved to the United States Department of Defense to prevent confusion.


 * A image of the Pentagon Building should be added as well.

Question about the Occupations section.
I was wondering, if the Occupations section was just the same as the Affiliations section, why do we still have that section encoded?

US or U.S.?
Hey Fantomas, When discussing the US should it be spelled with just the 2 letters or with the dots, as I've come across articles with both. In the MGS games it's just spelled 'US' which is the reason I usually spell it this way. I know it's just a minor thing, but I think it would be good to have some consistency. --Bluerock 22:06, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Fantomas.
Not that I have anything against your edit in the trivia section, but why did you remove my edit? I mentioned that I was adding it in based on a previous comment that was made in a previous edit in regards to the canonicity that indicated that the whole "Rescuing Raikov" issue was actually in the main walkthrough of the Official Portable Ops Strategy Guide. Of course, I don't actually own the Portable Ops guide, so I really can't determine what was said was true or not (although I do plan on getting the strategy guide during Christmas Break mainly to find maps to upload onto here, as well as maybe verify this issue.). Like I said, I don't necessarily object to your decision, I was just curious, that's all. Weedle McHairybug 20:18, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, Ok. I get it now. I do recall that some strategy guides mention optional missions in a separate section from the main walkthrough (like after the main walkthrough, for example.). If it's one of those guides that separates the main walkthrough from the optional sidequests walkthrough, then it may be easier to determine. Well, whatever the case, I at least now know. Thanks. Weedle McHairybug 20:35, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Fantomas:
I was wondering something.

Do you have any ideas as to what the Covert Operations in North Vietnam were? Like what were the operations called, who in the US Army participated, any of that? I'm asking because I couldn't really find anything in regards to these covert ops in North Vietnam that were mentioned in Portable Ops anywhere on the net (well, besides that Project Alpha book that was written recently), not even Wikipedia.

Gurlugon, Genola, and Mecha Genola
Hey, this is a call to anyone that has pictures of Gurlugon, Genola, and/or Mecha Genola. Put them on their respective pages please. I'm an avid fan of these games and i'd like to see as much justice done to this wiki as possible. so lets find and upload some images.

Question about one of your recent edits.
ke Ok, I have a question about your edit on Liquid Snake's article (Thanks for resolving the edit war, BTW!). You erased from the trivia section the fact that Hideo Kojima had announced that Liquid Snake is to appear in Peace Walker and that the game will also explain exactly what made Liquid the way he was. However, wasn't it needed for people to know that Liquid is appearing in Peace Walker. I mean, technically, I was responsible for the edit in the first place (since I did it before I was registered), and I don't mind if you remove it, but I just was wondering, that's all. Weedle McHairybug 18:19, December 15, 2009 (UTC) of

Article renaming
Hey Fantomas,

I was thinking that it might be a good idea to rename the following pages:

Operation Intrude N313 to Outer Heaven Uprising


 * The article describes the surrounding events, and not just Snake's mission there
 * It is referred to as such in-universe (MGS:TTS, MGS4 Database)
 * Although it was originally called 'Outer Heaven Revolt' in the MGS manual, it has never been named as this since. Also, I think the word 'Revolt' would sound better for the 'Shadow Moses Incident' (see below).

Zanzibar Land Uprising to Zanzibar Land Disturbance


 * It is referred to as such in-universe (MGS:TTS, MGS4 Database)
 * Although it was originally called 'Zanzibar Riot' in the MGS manual, it has never been named as this since.
 * Also, I think the word 'Disturbance' fits better for Zanzibar Land, since it was its own country to begin with, whereas Outer Heaven was established within an existing country (South Africa), so would seem to be more of an 'Uprising' in that respect.

FOXHOUND Rebellion to Shadow Moses Revolt


 * I know it has been discussed that too many of the events are officially referred to as 'The X Incident', so I think Revolt would fit ok.
 * They call it a revolt in-game (MGS)
 * I think it would sound better to have the name 'Shadow Moses' in there, since characters always talk about the place names in-game rather than the acts commmitted.

Anyway, these are just my thoughts. Sorry for rambling on a bit. If you decide to go through with the name changes, I will help edit the articles linking to the said pages, so that they fit ok.

Bluerock 19:38, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Fantomas, permission to create an article detailing the plotline of Peace Walker?
I'm wondering if it is all right if I could create a plotline article for Peace Walker (I think "Invasion of Costa Rica" sounds like an accurate title, unless you have a better idea, of course)? I mean, the Demo gave us a few portions of the plotline, which is at least better than none whatsoever. So, I was wondering if I could start detailing the plotline with the facts we have. So far we know a few things, including the date the operation happened as well as a few of the locations. Weedle McHairybug 20:02, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Trivia/Behind the scenes
Hey Fantomas,

A while ago someone decided to get rid of the 'Behind the Scenes' sections on a lot of the articles and just use Trivia instead. This is probably because the two were often used interchangably.

I think we should have both sections though, as we can put all the in-universe stuff in Trivia, while the info on game production, voice actors, character design, etc. (real world stuff) can be put in Behind the Scenes.

What do ya think?

Bluerock 18:44, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Images
Also, I was just wondering if ya could help me out on something.

Sometimes, I feel like adding an image to a page if it helps to improve the article, but often times I am unsure whether a particular image has already been uploaded or not. Is there a way of easily browsing through all the images on the wiki as I am not sure whether they have been organized or not (according to game or subject, etc)?

Thanks

The players of MGO
Hi, i am Victor Genesis, I am new in this wiki but I know many things about the MGS saga. I just wanted to say that we should meet one day in MGO. My username on PSN is VLPC96, and my character´s name is PCM 102. We can become good friends :) See ya!

RE: Permission to edit Liquid Snake's characteristics section?
Well, ok. Although just as a little food for thought, apparently the Matrix-esque, over-the-top cutscenes were Kojima's idea. Even if it wasn't, Kojima certainly didn't want Ryuhei Kitamura, the director of The Twin Snakes, to basically keep the cutscenes to be exactly like how the PSX version went.

Speaking of Liquid Snake, when are we going to re-open Liquid, Solid, and Solidus's pages? Weedle McHairybug 03:55, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

they wont let me in
well I just got MGS the twin snakes for the cube just a few days ago. I beat it, loved it, and viseted your site, I tried to create an acount and they wouldent let me in how do I get in?

Fantomas, did anyone harass or try to do bad stuff to you in real life after mentioning your real name on your identity template?
I'm asking because I'm unsure if I should mention my real name on my identity template on my User Page because I fear that people on other sites would realize who I am and either make statements to me that are negative to hunting me down. The Internet is a scary place, after all. Weedle McHairybug 14:19, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Unnamed family
Hey Fantomas,

Regarding the unnamed characters, I was under the impression that we listed them, but only if they were specifically mentioned within the Metal Gear games themselves (e.g. Otacon's father, grandfather, step-mother). Is this not the case? I know some names will be determined later, such as the Emmerich who is named Huey.

Bluerock 15:06, January 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * But on that logic the whole info box is redundant, no? Its only a summary of the character's known family members, mentioned in the overall story. Unless, by redundant, you mean other characters which also have unnamed family members? --Bluerock 15:17, January 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hear what you say, but we do know a little something of each one, which I think makes them worthy of a mention. Just my opinion. Bluerock 15:31, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

The Really Long Ladder
The really long ladder content was not a joke. Many consider it a boss because of how long it is, and how much time it takes to complete it. IGN and Game Pro even rated it as one of the top bosses of mgs.
 * Fantomas... please... ban him... He won't listen... I tried to stop him by reverting his edits, but he still won't listen. Please, ban him. Weedle McHairybug 18:21, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Gunna cry just because i dn't play ur silly rules? last I checked there was nothing the user agreement that says i cant place what I believe on the pages, after all wiki is based upon the ideas of many contributers placing their ideas on many topics. =)
 * That doesn't mean we are supposed to make a joke out of it! Bluerock, Fantomas, and myself made that quite clear. I'm sorry, but you left me with little choice. Weedle McHairybug 18:28, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oh Im shaking, really i am, i mean its not like I can create an endless amount of new email accounts, and an endless amount of user names, really I have all the time in the world.
 * They are not "silly rules" they are rules put in place to make this Wikia a reliable source for information on Metal Gear. The ladder does not deserve it's own page (especially one that treats it as an actual character), and does not need mentioning on a page about bosses because it is fundamentally not a boss. It is just a ladder. --Fantomas 18:50, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Metal Gear VRC-4
Hey Fantomas,

Could you please rename the above article to "Metal Gear 2"? The article concerns the main Metal Gear in Snake's Revenge, and is named as such in-game, but the name VRC-4 refers to "Metal Gear 1", the original TX-55 model, which is already mentioned in the TX-55 article.

We will probably also need a disambiguation page linking to this and the game "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake".

Thanks, Bluerock 11:19, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I can vouch for Bluerock. I tried moving the page myself and renaming it Metal Gear 2, but the site wouldn't allow me either due to either an article already existing or there was a bug in the system. Weedle McHairybug 12:53, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry to be a nuisance Fantomas, but would it be possible to name it "Metal Gear 2 (weapon)" so that it doesn't sound as redundant? Thanks --Bluerock 16:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

WOW
I didn't expect you to be interested in Valve games nor that of the Resident Evil series.

M60
I think the M60E4 light machine gun article http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/M60E4 should redirect to the article http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/M60 rather than the other way around. The M60E4 featured in MGS4 is simply a modern revision of the earlier M60 base design which appears in MGS: Peace Walker

Question about real life characters and my contributions and how much of a fan i am of the Metal Gear Solid games.
How come Nikita Khrushchev has his own page I think that is not fair because Richard Nixon had his own page and it was moved to minor characters. Nikita Khrushchev is a minor character in the Metal Gear Solid 3 I would like an explanation because in my opinion the page I think that is not fair. I am a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid and that one of my favorite characters is Solid Snake which i asked permission to edit and you never replied back. Also I am not obsessed with Nixon I have played the Peace Walker demo and i thought that page could be used to describe the character about who he was. I wanted to fix up this website for fans

Can the two pages be merged? Saves confusion for the people who look at them - 77.167.36.79 14:18, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Fantomas, can you move it to Sophie N'dram (lower case 'd') as this was the correct spelling used in-game. --Bluerock 18:26, February 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I figured out how to do it correctly. --Bluerock 18:37, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Obviously you've played MGS4.
Weedle hasn't. Can you please explain to him that the Beauty and the Beast members do die. Drebin's statement turned out to be true. If the player doesn't shoot them for several minutes, they collapse and die. That's a fact.


 * To me, in order for it to be completely confirmed, then they would have had the exact same animation when tranquilized as when timed out or lethally killed (meaning, even if they only were defeated Non-lethally, they'd still immolate onscreen. Similar to how the Cobra Unit met their ends or how most of the FOX Operatives Snake fought [barring Python] had been defeated (Regardless of whether the Cobra Unit was killed Lethally or non-lethally, they still blew up.). Instead, the BATB members had been shown to be falling down with feather petals, making their fate as ambiguous as Python's. Plus, going by what I've seen and read about their fates, if Crying Wolf did die, the wolf wouldn't even be able to scoop her up without her transforming into dust (since that's exactly what happens if Snake touches a dead FROG soldier.). Weedle McHairybug 19:16, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * They do NOT have those kind of nanomachines. You don't see their heads burn to a crisp. Only their clothes burn to a crisp. And their cutscenes are VERY different. When they die, they scream in pain and are set ablaze. Knocking them out only means they die off-screen. By the way, killing the Cobra Unit is obviously canon, they blow up when their hearts stop beating.
 * I meant that their death animations would have been the same in all three scenarioes, and that the only real difference is that you can get their face camo if tranquilized. I used the whole Cobra Unit example because their death animations were exactly the same, regardless of how they were defeated.
 * For a good example:


 * I defeat the BBmember non-lethally: She screams in pain and she is set ablaze.


 * I defeat the BBmember lethally: She screams in pain and she is set ablaze.


 * Time defeats the BBmember: She screams in pain and she is set ablaze.


 * That's what I'm trying to convey. And anyways, of course the Cobra Unit's death was canon. That was my point in regards to confirmation. Weedle McHairybug 19:33, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * But they don't scream in pain and do not get set ablaze when they defeated non-lethally. Anyway, knowing Fantomas, you'll probably get what you want but I have no regrets.
 * Hey, I do want confirmation as much as you do. You're correct in that they don't scream in pain if they are taken care of non-lethally. However, they would still be set ablaze. Weedle McHairybug 19:49, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fantomas. To get ready for the release of Peace Walker, we were wondering if you guys would be open to using a slightly redesigned skin. User:Game widow (the newest member of the Wikia Gaming team) made the possible new skin, which you can see here. The fixed width and Snake images will only be seen on the main page. All other pages will be full width. Since Richard designed the current skin, I already linked him to the new skin (on Skype) and he liked it, but I wanted to get your (and Drawde83's) feedback too. Let me know what you think. If you guys like the new skin, we can have it set up as early as today. JoePlay ( talk ) 18:45, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just giving you a heads up that I replied to you and Drawde83 on my talk page. JoePlay ( talk ) 21:50, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

deceased characters
there's a few more character pages that could be removed from this category. I've just asked Richard if there is a bot that can automate this. So I'd appreciate it if you could leave them for now in case there is a bot we can use. --Drawde83 20:28, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

i have an account, wakawakamobster, im just looking for my password, i dont want to change it

Japanese
Hey Fantomas, I was just wondering why do a lot of the articles have their Japanese translation included? I've noticed this on Wikipedia as well. I know the games themselves are Japanese but is this the only reason? --Bluerock 14:59, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Still waiting for a response on this. --Bluerock 13:17, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. It's just that they seemed a bit pointless and clutter up the article intros, especially for those characters who have multiple names (e.g. Ocelot). They're only on certain pages as well, so I thought there might be some kind of criteria for them being included, but I guess not. --Bluerock 17:54, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Frequencies
Hey Fantom, I was wondering. Should we (The MG. Wiki members ) make a page about the MGS3 Frequencies for healing songs. Fire in Effects. and call of Watches?

I think that, that could come in handy for some members.

Whats your oppinion on that?

MGS4 Shadow Moses Island Image-Removed.
Why was my image of Solid Snake at shadow moses from MGS4 deleted I personally took that photo in the game for the article.

Dude not cool.

I know you're like the head guy or something. But the thing I put into Sniper Wolfs Trivia was not assumptious. I've heard this many times and on many other sites and foru

Please Fix MGS:PW
A user messed up the formatting for the Peace Walker page, I don't know how to fix it but I would love it if you let me know how you did.

Re: Revert Edits - pt 2
Is there a place we can go to figure out why you made changes to things that the members put up? Seems like a lot of people are putting up things that they feel are good contributions, and you are taking them down or moving them with no explanation. I think if this communication was made, members would have a better idea about what is acceptable, thus becoming better members, giving you less of headache, and be putting their effort in the growth of the wiki, as opposed to futile contributions.

MGS4 emblems
I knew that the requirements for emblems were already posted, I just made an article on the actual descriptions from the game (e.g. "Chicken: Title awarded to disgraceful soldiers who spent far too long completing the mission, used health items liberally, were routinely spotted, killed indiscriminately, and died an unimaginable number of times", instead of "Get over 150 alerts, over 500 kills, over 50 continues, use over 50 recovery items, and finish the game with over 35 hours of play time"), with emblems in order of rank instead of alphabetically. I hope you look more closely next time you delete something. Mgstec 00:54, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Shadow Moses Images.
Fair enough I was trying to help this encyclopedia I am not Obsessed with this THe Images. Its When I got Metal Gear Solid 4 I was Disappointed with this page not having the proper information or sources about the game. It frustrated me because this encyclopedia was where I learned several things about Metal Gear Solid 4. Fair enough if we do not need the pictures that fine then. I was just trying to help and yet I get into trouble for that. I thought having a image of Snake would help the page. Im sorry about the trouble caused.

'''I am on temporary leave to avoid Peace Walker spoilers, but I will still be checking the Wiki occasionally for spam edits and the like. Feel free to leave a message, but don't be surprised if I don't reply immediately. --Fantomas 17:22, May 2, 2010 (UTC)'''

Otacon (Hal Emmerich) Age and Huey Emmerich.
Here's a question for you, How old is Otacon? We know Snake's age currently 42. But we don't Dr,Emmerich age. Freaky. Is just me or does Huey and Hal Emmerich look almost alike. How would tell the difference? In terns of personality? As long as he(Huey)don't wet his pants.

Your question about Otacon's age, and why Huey and Otacon kinda look the same will be answered on Metal Gear Peace Walker...

I don't want to spoil you so I wont say anything more than that.

So just hold still.. it's just a couple of weeks till the release.-Shirrasanzo

Could you please unlock Otacon's page.
It's been several months. http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Hal_Emmerich

You talking to me?

No, I'm talking to the devil. Of course, I'm talking to you. Anyway, thanks for unlocking the page.

Forgotten Password
Hi,

I can't remember my Password. My username in narutomaster 1514. Is there a way i could redeem my passwords?

Edit Suggestion
Got any pages that need to be edited? I am willing to correct any spelling/grammar errors or anything.

Otacon1514 21:10, May 3, 2010 (UTC) Otacon1514

RE: Take a look at the Peace Walker section titled "Development." That has to be a contender for the longest run-on section in the wikia universe. Half of it is about description of the gameplay trailers that KP has been using for advertising. You could look into breaking some of that up with some section headings, and generally taking an eye to organizing some of the info.

TheRatch 9:00am May 4

Thanx you guys!!
 * Fantomas is away avoiding peacewalker spoilers, we've talked about it on the talk page so that might be the best place for you to go. I'll look into resolving it soon. --Drawde83 20:32, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Dissenting Opinions
Fantomas, I have a dissenting opinion concerning one your revert edits that I would like to share with you respectfully. Is there a way to send you a message rather than post it on the boards?

Shadow Moses Revolt > Shadow Moses Incident
Fantomas, many of the events don't use the word "Incident" like Virtuous Mission, Operation Snake Eater, Les Terrible Enfante Project, Operation Peace Walker, Outer Heaven Uprising, Zanzibarland Disturbance, or Liquid Ocelot's Insurrection (Liquid Sun, Solid Sun,...). The only ones the use it (or should use) are the Shadow Moses Incident and the Manhattan Incident (may it be in the Tanker or the Big Shell). The reason is because it is canon. The names appear in official sources (in trailers, in the Metal Gear Saga, and even the MGS4 database). I think we should stick to the official names, instead of renaming things just because we don't like them.

BTW, sorry about the tone of the message; I'm an asshole, sometimes.- Marcaurelix May 9th, 2010

Ocelot and Revolver Ocelot?
I know that Ocelot and Revolver Ocelot are the same person but I realized some thing while playing Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.

In Metal Gear Solid 3 Ocelot is shown spinning both of his Colt Single Action Army he carries. But in MGS: TTS he trys and fails miserably to spin the revolver with his left hand. Could this be a mistake by the developers or am I just insane?

Otacon1514 02:00, May 13, 2010 (UTC) Otacon1514

To answer your question Otacon1514 is one your question no your not crazy. I thing because Ocelot's old and his reflexes aren't as good when he was younger. Another reason because he most of the time he uses his right hand to spin his revolver. I think he's used to using his right hand more than his left hand. Another theory it was for comedy effect.

Ocelot is aging dude.. -Shirrasanzo

''':Could people please stop using my talk page for general discussions. I have had no part in this conversation until now. If you wish to ask questions about Ocelot, take it to Ocelot's discussion page. Thank you. --Fantomas 09:47, May 16, 2010 (UTC)'''

'''OK Dude. : )'''

Otacon1514 00:36, May 17, 2010 (UTC) Otacon1514

Open the Solid Snake page, please.
Some of the wiki people want to ask you of you could reopen the Solid Snake page, to include information from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I know you don't want spoiler, so I apologize if you read any spoiler here. - Marcaurelix

:)
you're welcome.. glad to share my little knowledge about the game since I am an MGS fan too..

I'll update more when I have the time. -Shirrasanzo

List of Metal Gear Deaths
No this isn't the same guy who did the deceased page. If you really believe that this page is worthless than your welcome to delete it. But I think that this page is very helpful. Why go looking through thousands of induvidual pages for these characters. Anyway, do what you want. Otacon1514 18:23, May 17, 2010 (UTC)Otacon1514
 * I'm sorry, what on Earth are you talking about? You also added that twice, please be more careful when adding things to peoples talk pages. You do know people get an alert eveytime someone edits their talk pages? It can be frustrating, especially since I'm trying not to spend too much time here right now to avoid spoilers. If you could please refrain from adding things unless it's really important, that would be great. --Fantomas 18:57, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

quotes
Hey Fantomas, I noticed you removed some quotes from some pages. Would they look better if they used the quote template instead? (I didn't add them originally, but I don't really have any objections to them being used on a page if they're fitting for the character). --Bluerock 09:56, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Johnson
So what do you think, then? --Bluerock 22:33, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Fantomas, sorry about us all going way off topic yesterday on the Johnson discussion. I'm sure you know it can be difficult to take insults and not respond in kind, especially when a debate is going nowhere and it seems like your talking to a brick wall. It looks pretty stupid when reading it in cold text, so I'm just gonna refrain from even participating in discussions should they descend into these kind of pointless arguments.
 * Hopefully, we can all help develop some rules for the wiki on exactly what sort of information is acceptable for inclusion in topics, as standards seem to vary widely from article to article. This would really help to prevent these sorts of arguments from happening, however, I do realise this can be quite a complex issue.
 * Anyway, I have no doubt Peace Walker will introduce us to a whole load of strange new retcons to wade through, so hopefully we will have some good friendly discussions on them as they crop up. --Bluerock 19:34, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Several days have passed since the argument/edit war. Would you please reopen Johnson's page? - Marcaurelix

MGA cards
Hey Fantomas, I know you're not a big fan of Metal Gear Acid, but I was just making the MGA cards article look a bit more tidy by having an actual list in there, in the form of the contents box. Also, there doesn't seem to be much in the individual card articles that isn't already here, so I was just wondering whether it would be easier to make them all redirects to the specific cards on this page, rather than have a single article for every card (as there are not that many even now). What do you think? The same could be done for the links on the List of MGA Cards and possibly rename it to MGA cards (A-Z) to distinguish it from the other list, and so they both serve a purpose. --Bluerock 22:41, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

CIA Director --> CIA Director (1964-1970)
Due to the revelations of Peace Walker, I think it would be more accurate or correct to change the name of the character page from CIA Director to CIA Director (1964-1970). Could you please rename it? - Marcaurelix

Nothing major
Hi there - just cleaning up some grammatical issues and typos. You guys obviously know way more about this than I do (though I've played all the games now), so I'm not making any factual changes. :)

Rising trivia
I just wondered why you deleted the trivia regarding the MGS2 novel, i thought it was a pretty obvious reference to the game. Im not saying you didn't have a good reason, I'd just like to know what was wrong with it.--Soul reaper 11:17, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * While I agree that simple use of the word, such as Sunny's line, does not mean it has anything to do with the game, I believe that the line from the novel is intended to be a reference as the novel was released after the game was announced and the capitalization clearly draws attention to the word rising--Soul reaper 13:28, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

No info on deletions
Looking at some of the earlier comments here, I notice that there's no information on deletions (and you just deleted a couple of test pages I created under my user page). Do you spell out what the deletion criteria are anywhere, or give some guidelines so we don't waste a lot of time creating something that's going to be deleted? Kaelef 13:54, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response on this.

Question about the Ocelot page
See, me and IP 70 are arguing over whether it should be noted that Ocelot might have been a member of the EOD squad due to Volgin telling Ocelot to find the bombs when it was announced that there were bombs in the Weapons Lab hangar, and that all non-EOD personnel should be evacuated. I wonder if you could clear it up for us. Weedle McHairybug 16:40, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

thanks for correcting my issues.
Thanks, Blueforce, for correcting my issues on the Succesor Project page. Its a good thing I started it, otherwise people wouldn't know what it would be.

Welcome message
Oh but I already have a user account: Rabbit Fear I had just forgotten to sign in. :) 195.194.168.56 12:48, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Fantomas, a certain user is trying to state that the Beauty and Beast members were killed, despite never being shown outright (and will never be revealed due the nature of the gameplay). It was already decided that it wouldn't be stated that they were dead or alive, since this debate has gone on previously, many times before. Can you consider locking it if it keeps on getting reverted? --Bluerock 18:00, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Unnamed Parents
Do we really need unnamed parents to be in the characters' infoboxes? I can see why unnamed siblings are mentioned, since that is a unique fact relating to the character, and why unnamed parents are mentioned if they are have done something of relevance (e.g. Gustava Heffner's mother), but ALL characters could be said to have unnamed parents. There is nothing of significance about unnamed parents as they have not done anything worth mentioning within the Metal Gear canon. --Bluerock 21:18, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Then REMOVE it instead of whining about it.--72.186.97.147 13:01, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's better to discuss things before removing other people's edits, especially if opinions may differ on an issue like this. By the way, Raiden's and Naomi's parents being murdered is at least worthy of being mentioned as family. It was just those characters whose family had no involvement whatsoever in the story, is what I thought was unnecessary. --Bluerock 17:36, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism
Many of the wiki pages including yours and at least one other users were vandalized by a user called Darthvoorhees. I think I've fixed them all but I'm not 100% sure. I think it would be best if the user was permanently blocked from editing--Soul reaper 06:41, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I saw that some person had edited those pages, and I checked them (habitually) and saw they were vandalized. The person responsible even edited another user's page and filled it with inappropriate content, as with the rest of the pages he edited. I agree that this user should be blocked to an extent. And thanks to Soul reaper for reverting all those edits. Agent M 07:36, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know guys, sorry I couldn't have done anything sooner. --Fantomas 08:29, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

The canon question
Hey Fantomas, we've been having a discussion over on Solid Snake's talk page on how to deal with the disputed canonicity of the novels/strategy guides/Twin Snakes/comic books, etc. Since this issue is always cropping up at one time or another, we agreed on a possible solution and was wondering what your thoughts were. This is was what I originally said:

" Forgetting Kojima himself for a minute (since he ain't the only writer of the games anyhow), I think we can say that EVERYONE agrees that info given "first-hand" by Kojima Productions/Konami is canon, e.g. the games, the previous story supplements, manuals, and the database (when it isn't making mistakes), except when they decide to retcon certain things in later games. The canon dispute always goes back to info that is not given directly by Konami/Kojima Productions, even though the sources containing it are officially licensed, e.g. novels, comic books, strategy guides, Twin Snakes (except very minor things like accents and certain dialogue).

Rather than remove these, designate them as non-canon, or cram it all into "Behind the Scenes", we could take the previous IP's idea by making a new section, and call it "Alternate Portrayals" or something like that, instead of disregarding the info outright. Hopefully, that would satisfy everyone. We could place it between "Trivia" and "Behind the Scenes" so it's sort of the middle ground in terms of canon.

It would also get rid of the problem of having to state, "this was mentioned in X but not mentioned in Y or Z so may not be canon", for every single item of disputed info. -- Bluerock 19:01, June 23, 2010 (UTC) "

Crashsnake
Ugh, losing the will to keep reverting his unnecessary edits. Don't know whether it might be too harsh to ban him, but he's had fair warning. --Bluerock 20:23, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
