I am not familiar with the format yet. Someone fix it.
EDIT: Fixed.
Yeah, this is probably the one time I have to be that guy that's a douchebag-party-pooper.
Seeing as how it's my real name and my wife's and whatnot, if I could request it to be toned down on the weird level, esp the a gay and pedophile thing.
It's one thing for me to post crazy crap at random locations here but if someone searches my name, my wife's name, where we're from and One Piece, it probably wouldn't be the greatest thing to have lying around the internets.
Sorry. It's something magical that happens when you turn into an adult looking for a job.

My sincere apology. I went a bit too far, I think.

I can understand that. I have heard of countless job deaths due to the wrong info being posted online.
Same thing goes with students posting about their professors, and said professors finding and reading the libel.

Well, don't hesitate about editing your own page Greg.
Now i want to know about Greg's proposal and Oda's life.
Greg ? Sea ? Zephos ? Anyone ?
Please ?
hey… i'm a bit of a grammar Nazi so i've been editing some of the pages, trying to help make it sound better without changing the actual content. someone let me know if i should stop. hope i didn't contribute to the messiness :S
I'm in the middle of making an article for National Coronation Day.

Grammar Nazi eh? Well as long as you're correctly fixing things I see no problem with it. in the future we're going to need more people like that who don't make sloppy edits and additions without consulting anyone so thanks for telling us.
Taking a brief glance at one page, I can see more of the messiness that's been bothering some of us. FYI to people who are editing: What is the point of editing your own page to praise yourself? We can see who edited something, so saying "This person is the best" is clearly going to be seen as self-flattery because you're saying that about yourself. It's totally different from other users saying, "He's a nice guy and contributes a lot to the such-and-such thread."
Let me clarify this.
In a Wiki article, joking aside, I will try to be as objective as possible. "A is a nice guy" is not a fact. Just subjective opinion. "B said A was a nice guy" is a fact. The event with B stating that did happen. Or, "Some people think A is a nice guy" is a fact. Even if everybody think A is a nice guy, "A is a nice guy" is still not fact. That is why I quoted Robby and some other members.
It sound so abc, but I had to repeat.

I wholeheartedly appreciate your contribution. I suck at grammar sometimes so it's nice to have you around.
Thanks. No apologies needed. I'm a crazy guy with a 'unique' sense of humor. But 'anonymous' and 'reality' make for strange bedfellows in a Google-dominated society.
Remember that YT vid I posted about an ALT jumping off a bridge?
Someone at the Board of Education found it and both the guy who filmed it and the guy who jumped are in deep shit.
Scary.
In fact I'm grateful 'cause it made me realize I was searchable by the Location info too.
Perhaps each user page should include a quotes section, so we can see evidence of how this person contributes to the forums. or what makes them so "great" to people. Sea seems to be the only one actually giving names when making a statement. even better if you can link things more often to posts made here when you say "someone said this."
though I doubt anyone will do that right away, but I've had that thought for a bit.

… :pouty:
I finished the synopses of the first 3 parts of NCD. If possible I'd like to finish the page myself, though.
I hope that someone can truly write something that can represent me well to the masses.
Man, an AP wiki really helps knowing people better.
Nice job people.
I hope that someone can truly write something that can represent me well to the masses.
Dicks…Dicks everywhere
Lol. It's pretty bad when anyone can just edit the things into their own opinions of people. Can we at least keep the facts straight instead of people whining about campaigns in the OP tourney etc?
respect for the guy(s) who did all the editing on the tournament , it now is even better
There are so many things wrong with this page, but at least I fixed the god-awful title
I very much support this. I made a page for myself

It's not much, but I re-arranged the list and deleted e1n from it. The list is now in alphabetical order.
And while I'm at it, I'll repost what I said to Sea earlier.
I absolutely agree with you on this matter. The wiki entries should only include facts and some possible jokes, not some fawning compliments meant to bolster the subjects morale and self-esteem. Wikia's text should be much closer to a scientifical text than a casual forum post, as it's only purpose is, or atleast should be, to channel information. Sadly, it is hard to change as the wiki is a bit of inside phenomenon at the moment and thus is built by several different individuals, who want to give the public a good image of themselves and strive for acceptance of the majority. Humankind is like that.
Humans with low self-esteem are highly likely to adulate other people. The feeling they obtain from being accepted within a certain group means much to them and most will try to grasp it, if given a possibility to do so. Narcism is another thing of course, but it can be handled as well.
Probably the best way to make this thing work properly is to reach the ones building this and to state them, how one believes this resulted in a working entirety. Perhaps something could be done to limit the amount of the wikia editors
I liked the wikia mod idea someone mentioned. It would solve some problems.
Mmmkay, that helps it somewhat. I'm home tomorrow, so I should have plenty of time to reformat some stuff.
hello guys.. i hope somebody will make a page about some guy from along time ago call phenom or what ever.. i heard he's quite famous among one piece fans not only at APforums but also at narutofan as a troll.. just a stupid request.. lol
but good job guys with this Ap-Wiki.. :)
Just to point something out about this wiki.
IF you are using ORIGINAL artwork from members in the page… do give credit.
I know this is the internet and all but at least put "Art By" under the pics used.
I remember when we tried to have a wiki on Fun Piece back in the day. Good times were had by all. To speak of which, the older section in the "Banned Users" page pretty much reads as a list of people who later went on to join Fun Piece, minus a few people. All the memories we've gained…
Anyway, if you guys want to have a "Famous people on arlong park forums" page, why not write about the people who actually work in the media. You'd be surprised to find out we actually had people who do that come on here.
Let's see, we've had Clyde Mandelin (A.K.A Mato) come on here and discuss the changes forced onto the English dub by Toei, Chuck Powers (A.K.A LuffyVO) who voiced Luffy and other characters in the Singapore dub of One Piece and, of course, Robby (You should know who) who mods the forums while he works on commissions for such companies as Antarctic Press.
can we (nicely) request pages? i would love to properly read about the whole Griffin and April Fool's incident. and i heard something about a bomb threat? :ninja:

lol. I think I know exactly what part of the tournament page you're referring to. Just because of one tiny little thing in the campaigns section, you think the whole thing is opinion? uh, no. that section is a humorous explanation of what the campaigns are/were. If there was "whining" I sure as hell didn't catch that. anyways, it's like satire, sometimes it stings, but there's always some level of truth to it. so that section is not changing, sorry.
There are so many things wrong with this page, but at least I fixed the god-awful title
Thanks Kitsune, that was bothering me for a while now.
@Sea:
In a Wiki article I only approve of two things:
-Facts.
-Jokes that are for the sole purpose of making fun of the mentioned person without praising that persons in any sense.
For example: I didn't give any subjective opinion about Zephos. Fact: Robby did compliment him. Fact: Many people like him. And fact. Besides that, I only made fun of his aggressiveness and his favor for Top Cat, or his return. That's all. I didn't go "Zephos is so incredible guys"
Look at Urouge's, Robby's and Steven D Teach's page. Had no compliment, even joking ones. That is how it's supposed to be done. In my opinion. This wiki is about information, and history of the forum, and for some, a chance to joke, to make fun of someone they know well (which Steven thought is cute). Not to fap.BTW, personally, I will never write anything about myself with self-reference as "he" in a public article. I personally don't like it. That's all.
Basing myself on your other post, I believe you are talking about my article
I find the second thing you approve very weird, whatever the joke is implying, it is still a joke, it may not be as funny, but it is trying to be just as funny, I can only assume, so why consider it something unnaceptable, just because it may imply that I am great even if I am not?
The article even has a link to my profile, with all my posts, and it even bothers to make sure everyone knows that I haven't said anything of worth ever.
And those who visit the Wiki are those who lurk and post around this forum, so they all know that I am no one of real worth.
I know it is just your opinion, but if I may say so, it is really weird

I know this was directed at Sea, but what is the point of just linking back to your profile? I can't imagine someone would want to go to the wiki so that they can be redirected back here and sift through all your posts to see if your claims are valid. Not everyone knows you well enough to see the joke behind it.
It's all fine if people collectively agree about what kind of person you are, but from what I gather, you wrote your own page. Wouldn't that kind of be like the wiki having a page about AGOG that says he makes meaningful, excellent posts in the Next Nakamates Thread?

What I meant is that if someone had any doubts, my profile was there to explain that I never said anything worthy, it is also obvious by the way the article is written that it is being sarcastic, no offence intended.
I had no hand at creating the article, SGRaaize created it, I'm defending it
With that page, you have got some of the attention you seek, Xico.
I was a little surprised to see I even had a page.
What a bad idea.
I'm reading through this wikia and it's full of ignorance.
This is the only page that's accurate.
http://arlongpark.wikia.com/wiki/SGRaaize
Tsk, tsk… I can't run the Mafia game forever!
Awwh, none of my campaigns were mentioned. Sad face
Icel, you're a cool chick.
Don't worry. They don't know shit.
I actually remember some of this stuff. I was like 11 when I joined the forums, in like 07, but lurked like a couple of months before hand, and was a member of the Fun Piece forums. Damn reading whats on the wiki and in this thread brings back some shit….
I swear to god, when I get around to blocking anonymous people, things will improve so much. :getlost:
FYI: People, when you create your own page and write things about yourself, do not praise yourself. that is not the point of this wiki. it's called being disingenuous. News Flash: Anyone can say how awesome they are. when others have something nice to say about you, doesn't that feel better? If you have to edit your user page, only do so for two reasons:
1. Someone has written inflammatory statements that are untrue
2. You want to share some interesting facts about yourself that others wouldn't learn just by reading your posts at the forums. You can have a sense of humor when you write it, like "I have a chronic fear of vacuum cleaners and window gnomes" or what maybe what you like doing when you're not at AP Forums. there are plenty of ways to make this fun without completely making things up. I think of the website like satire in a way: over the top but has truth to it when you get to the heart of the matter.
KoS, welcome back.

I don't know how.

Maybe they weren't memorable enough? I do recall you campaigning a little for Doflamingo.
I remember your ass campaign for Crocodile, Icel.XD
Awwh, none of my campaigns were mentioned. Sad face
@The:
Icel, you're a cool chick.
Don't worry. They don't know shit.
Whoa, whoa, slow down there you two. Let me explain this to everyone now: The main person who has been editing the Tournament section is me. I have been extremely busy because I'm reading through every post in the tournament precisely so that I don't forget to mention an awesome campaign or some weird tidbit of info. the reason why I haven't gotten around to Icel's campaigns is because I'm working on the first round stuff at the moment.
Please be patient, and I promise I'll get to it. also, thank you to the people who like the additions. and for anyone who doesn't, have a sense of humor. It is not my intention to character bash and quite frankly I'm not so caught up the tournament that I will do so.
But, it's not called the "AP Tournament Wikia".
It's the AP Forums wiki.
And the Tournament just so happens to be part of the forums.
Why don't you edit stuff yourself if you want other things to be added?
@The:
But, it's not called the "AP Tournament Wikia".
… I know that. but it's part of the history of the forums. There would be very little point in my creating and editing user pages because I am new here. I can't honestly say I know a whole lot about other people.

Oh, I didn't know that.

No thank you.
