No worries. :) --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 23:06, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

== Gadgets ==
The Electronic Notebook Map is supposed to be Electronic Noteback Map Profile because all Gadgets article have Rectangle pictures that has "Profile" at the end of the name of the gadget. So I'm saying this that it wasn't a wrong name and I just want to ask you to go to [[The Kidnapping Location Case]] and create a picture of a square shape of Electronic Notebook Map with no "Profile" name at the end of the named gadget. Um... do you kind of understand? I'm just stating the fact.
:I moved it back to the profile name. I don't have a 100x100 image of the map prepared right now. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 18:30, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
::Oh well sorry. But they will be 100 px soon it future.
== One more thing ==
There's one more thing I like to ask you. Can you go to [[Detective Chiba]] article and change the Officer Chiba Profile into Detective Chiba Profile?
== Apologies ==
Right, sorry about that. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 16:56, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

You're very welcome. And I'm still sorry about in the past that we had conflicts. Sometimes I was wrong. Just fixing it really in my caring way. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 00:43, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

== Apologies ==
I'm sorry.

== Relationships ==
Okay, then what about the rest of the characters? Do you want them to be changed to subheaders of characters name in relationship analysis?
:It depends on how many characters listed there are. Take [[Ran]], which has five people listed with only one or two under each heading. That doesn't really need subheaders at this point. You can put them there, but it doesn't matter much to navigation. [[Conan]] on the other hand has a ton of them, so subheaders work well there. From a mod perspective, I wouldn't revert you if you changed every character's relationships to subheaders, but I would if you tried to change, say, Conan, to bullet points. It's kind of a judgement call. Use your time where you think it is the most needed.

== Toru Amuro ==
Question, is Amuro really important character? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 22:40, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
:Well I'm about to put in the characters article of character chart. Should I do that?

== Re: Police Insignias ==

Thanks! I did run across it in my research -- I'm currently compiling a combination General/Culture police page and the various ranks we canonly know of for the characters. Hopefully I'll have it up soon. Also, if there's a good place on the individual pages to add a picture, I'll look into it next. [[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 15:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

== Vermouth appearances ==
Well, I procrastinated for a LONG time with making an appearance page for Vermouth due to the complication of her multiple disguises, but I finally created something of a rough draft to work with. The article is located '''[[Vermouth Appearances|here]]'''. I'll fill out the Anime section at a later date, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for better organizing the list. If you could take a look at it when you get a chance and tell me your thoughts, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you! :) --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 17:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
::Oops… I’m rather late in responding to your response, but thank you very much! I'm slightly preoccupied with other stuff right now (both DCW and real life), so no need to rush with this. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, however! Thanks again, Chekhov. =) --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 04:13, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

== Drama 2 ==
That's the point. It was rectangle shape of actor and actress's name so I change them into anime temporary and make a square shape of the actual name later. Ok no anime but of course those pictures will be changed into right names of actors and actresses.
--[[User:S261157|S261157]] 19:57, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

== Timeline Detail ==

Since you're the mod who created the page, I figured I'd ask your opinion regarding how much detail in-storyline events merit for the timeline, especially for complicated buildups like the Vermouth arc. Should it err on 'this event happened', or 'this event happened in this summarized way and these things play into later events down the timeline'? --[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 05:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:That helped a bit, thanks. I went with 'simple and straightforward, but hitting the high points' as much as seemed possible.--[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 01:43, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

== RE: Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure ==
No worries. It's understandable when you consider the unusual combination of characters that I added to the article. Gotta love random flashbacks. =P --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 04:19, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
::P.S. I was just about to suggest archiving some of your talk page. Guess you were one step ahead of me. Sorry for the multiple talk page notifications by the way. Last one, I promise. =P --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 04:21, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

== Other Culture Page ==
Icka found this link earlier and I wanted to share it with you. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Detective_Conan Perhaps we'll get to work on a page like this at some point in the future? ^^; --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 06:00, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

== Pictures in Akai's Truck ==
Noticed you removed a line regarding it. I can't double-check at the moment, but I think the pictures in question might appear in the truck in the opening of episode 345? Hope this helps! --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 11:33, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

== Sorry ==
Okay. Sorry about that --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 17:38, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== Thank you ==
Thank you for explaining things for me. :) The edit conflicts were indeed confusing. Thankfully I saved all my work on Microsoft Word prior to adding it here. --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 17:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== Mistake ==
Oh okay, sorry. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 23:36, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

== Curiosity ==
Not sure how many people will see the talk pages so thought I'd ask you since we're both pretty much up to date on stuff. Do you have any ideas where one of the editors got Shizuka and Makoto's English names (Melinda Hartwell? Taylor Somerset?) from? I'm pretty sure nothing with them was ever dubbed but I wanted to double-check to see if I'm missing something. It looks like that information was added by our anonymous IP person so I highly doubt it's legitimacy. But that said, thought I'd double-check anyway because otherwise the info needs to be removed as soon as possible. :/ --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 14:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

== Appreciate ==
Thank you for deleting the other Ryoma article. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 22:08, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

==Re: Redirects==
No worries. I'm just glad to see the character list looks a bit more manageable now. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 03:24, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

==Re: Volume 75 Edit==
Yaiba does appear, as a character on the TV during that particular scene. I'm not sure how we should handle listing the character now though. Ryusuke Higo appeared on the TV during this scene as well and this is simply mentioned under the recurring characters page. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 02:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
== Re: Reverting Vandalism ==
Got it. Thanks anyway. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 19:25, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
:You're very welcome, Ms. MacGuffin. I always check the recent changes, and I always don't want anything stupid on DCW. I'm like a security guard and I respect to Aoyama-sensei very much. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 20:44, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

== Appreciate ==
That is a good call indeed! Thank you! :)

== Hold on ==
What about Shinichi, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro? Shinichi and Ran's age are 16-17, Conan's age 6-7, and Kogoro's age is 37-38. That's why I changed "38" into 37-38. I mean thats still fine right? I mean yes it's true. She did turn into 38. I understand the source. But it can still be fine to leave as 37-38 meaning she did change into 38. Yusaku and Kogoro has 37-38 on it.
--[[User:S261157|S261157]] 21:08, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
:(Sigh) All right. If you say so.

== Re: Thanks ==

I try. :) I always appreciate a second pair of eyes to catch my own typos, especially when it's a large body of text. Hope you don't mind the minor edits I made in the Relationships sections. --[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 23:52, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

== RE: MK Special 6 picture ==
When I created the images for the live-action series I figured out that having the smaller image sizes prevents squishing, pixelation, and other oddities from automatic resizing in the wiki. Personally I would not use the image the person chose for 6 as it is way too dark, but I don't have access to the raw episode yet, so I simply resized the image to match previous uploads. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 17:06, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

== Report ==
This IP 182.5.106.28 is messing up the wiki. Don't even know why Masumi Sera is taken out of Character articles. Can you stop him or her! This IP is also deleting parts in [[Masumi Sera]] article.
--[[User:S261157|S261157]] 16:22, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:Whew! Thank you!

== Handedness Article ==

I'm not familiar with editing formats, so I'd like to make this request for you to personally handle. In the handedness article, you should include a very important detail into Akai's shooting in Chapter 504. Akai was using a right handed Bolt Action Rifle. This important because left handed people either order a left handed Bolt Action or hold them like a right handed person; the use of the Bolt is extremely awkward and difficult if a right handed Bolt Action is held lefty style, and vice versa. It could be a slip up on Aoyama's part, but it's worth mentioning since all we have is reasoning to draw Akai's hand on; it's possible this is meant to show us Akai is faking his left handedness and overplayed his part in this shooting.

Also, for the article in general, may I recommend a more detailed description of each person's movements with their hands? I noticed you discounted the possibility of Akai using a right cross against the bus jacker in Chapter 289, left out the fact that Akai was searching the fruit basket and had just occupied his right hand in Chapter 601 (unless your contention is that Akai knew right away that it was directly under the apple) and should also point out he started this search with his right hand, you left out when Gin used his phone with his right hand in Chapter 603 because he placed it in a right pocket due to the fact that at that time he needed his left hand for the laptop that was showing him the contents of the vans, and you put his assassination of Pisco in Chapter 242 as "Unavoidable," when this itself is an assumption; there are people in the world who can use a body part that's in extreme pain without drugs, so it deserves a mention if nothing else. Also, I think pointing out Vodka's watch changing hands as a continuity error in Chapter 383 is wrong because you already pointed out Aoyama erroneously had watches on dominant hands before that in the same section; it seems redundant and it's clearly Aoyama cleaning up his prior mistake. That's just what I noticed, and there may be more. - Fanged Loathe from Mangafox (71.126.239.180)
:Hi 71.126.239.180, the the handedness article is actually a personal reference page because its a bit too specific to be a real article, but I welcome any and all corrections and additions. I looked into it, (read visiting [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Detective_Conan#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare imfdb]) and the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare that Akai is using is indeed right handed, which I will make a note of. I think it is likely to be a slip up on Aoyama's part (lefties drawn/pictured using righty rifles happens a lot, so I've been told), because it would be the height of foolishness for Akai to handicap himself by using his off dominant hand on a one-try-only precision shot from 700 yards. Akai has been shown to prefer his left hand in other tense short-notice-to-react situations, like the scene with Vermouth.
:Regarding the other part or your request, sure I can make it more detailed, but that will take a bit of time.
:*289 was definitely a left handed strike because that was the hand Akai was swinging around to hit (this is from the manga, you can see the movement lines). If you are saying he was bringing his right hand around, that is unlikely; he was facing nearly backwards from the robber and squatting at the time meaning the rotation needed for a fluid hit with the right is impossible.

:*In 601, I do think he was expecting a bomb under the fruit (he thinks as much in the next panel!), and that he was freeing his left hand to grab it. It was someone else's gift, so it isn't exactly polite to set fruit down wherever, which he would have had to do if he was using his left handed only.

:*In 603, Gin actually has two radios in this scene which I should have clarified. I am assuming you are talking about the first radio (page 4) that he uses to talk to the motorcycle trio using his right hand. It's hard to tell from the art but it could be a radio connected to the dash with a cord because it has no antenna, so I will make a note that it could be unavoidable if it is corded, it would hang up on the right side of Gin on the dash. I don't see where he put it in his pocket. Gin likes to keep his hands in his pockets whenever he isn't doing anything with them, so I am not going to risk wrongly interpreting it as he put the radio in the pocket versus setting the radio down in his lap or something like that. This is especially the case if it is a corded radio.

:*I put the assassination with Pisco as unavoidable because Gin had an injury that limited the actions he could take with one of his hands. The inability to grip and stabilize properly because of gross tissue damage, Conan's tranq in his system, and general pain might throw his aim (Pisco might try to run for it.) if he tried to use his right hand. He would have used his left anyway, but because the option of using his right was limited, I listed it as unavoidable.

:*I plan to keep the note about Vodka's watch because it was an important clue in determining Vodka's handedness for sure - as a contrast to Gin, and I think it is important to note the point of transition.

::It looks more like he's sideways to me, and if it is that's how you gear up a left outward chop, a left elbow, a right cross, and maybe a few other attacks. And you actually just made a new point for me. When you strike, you're supposed to put your whole body behind it. This could be another error by Aoyama, but it looks like more power would be given to a right handed attack with only minute accuracy errors; a right handed attack would be fine as long Akai's style isn't Krav Maga.
::The point I was trying to make with the fruit basket is that it's one thing to know/expect to find a bomb, it's another to know exactly where it's located. You're right, setting the apple down randomly would be rude, but the point I'm making is that Akai got lucky and the first fruit he pulled was directly over the bomb. What if it wasn't? What would his next move have been? And how does this effect the article? That's all I'm saying: taking the bomb should be an Unavoidable, not a Miscellaneous, and taking the fruit is tough to call.
::No, I was talking about the second device Gin used to talk with Vermouth, and I assumed it was his cell phone. The pocket was my mistake, I was looking at a darker scanlation and thought the seat was empty, and with his hand in his pocket I assumed he was reaching for it in there. However, my general point still remains the same: these moments belong in Unavoidable. On a few of these early pages a laptop or similar device that was feeding him the scans of the vans was on his lap, which, according to page 6, had him inputting commands of some kind (my guess would be moving between, and perhaps opening, the scans). The device he used to communicate with Vermouth is unavoidable due to where he placed it, and the device from page 4 can be considered unavoidable (regardless of any cord) since he was keeping his left hand ready to use the same laptop, and this laptop is an additional reason to suggest that even if the second was on his lap close to his left hand he would use his right hand. Additionally, putting the first device into his right hand can be attributed to the gear shift, so this is an additional moment that I think is better suited to Unavoidable.
::Fair enough. However, how about including this little description? Your reasoning's sound, but since the possibility of this being optional is still real without concrete evidence from Aoyama, I think this deserves noting.
::And the Vodka note was just an aesthetic suggestion. Like I said, including the previous note and this one makes the point sound redundant, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for a wiki.
::Final notes on the shoot out. We don't actually know which hand Akai made the all important, one chance shot with; nobody saw how he held the rifle until after he made that shot. For fairness to bolt actions, they're famously considered more accurate than semi-automatics. For the scene (and this could be a manga's limitations), Aoyama made Akai's final shots look like they were fired from a semi-automatic, so another possible artistic blunder is worth noting somewhere. And as a word of wisdom, nothing that can be used as evidence in a mystery story should ever be chalked up as an artistic blunder before the truth it is/could be evidence for is revealed or the creator and/or staff says so.
::Also, while I'm here, may I make one more request? A friend and I went over this series and this wiki, and I just noticed that a single idea we had was absent from the most logical of places on the site. Does a section or article concerning the possibility of a traitor in the FBI exist somewhere? - Fanged Loathe from Mangafox (71.126.239.180)

:::Regarding Akai's strike, again Akai is squatting while facing away. He is in the middle of what clearly is going to be a left hand outside chop to the hijacker, so he must have been facing even more backwards when he started the attack. Since he was facing away from the robber and squatting, he didn't have much option for the attack.
:::He would have pushed the apple off to the side and grabbed another fruit.
:::I did list Vermouth's radio in grey which equates to no clear handedness. The reason I put it in the radio section instead of unavoidable is because Gin may have made a choice to set it down to his right in the first place instead of say, in his pocket. As we did not see the initial setup, its indeterminable, but not necessarily unavoidable. The first radio is considered handed, because he switched hands while holding it, meaning using it was not unduly handedness restrictive.
:::It is unlikely Akai switched hands. Switching hands would mean switching the side of the cheekpiece, adjusting the positioning of the scope from a cross eye configuration to a same side eye configuration, and then taking the time after that to recenter on the target because Akai dropped his form. It takes too long. I doubt Akai would even be able to fire back on Gin if he did all of that.

:::Regarding a traitor in the FBI, I think it is strongly unlikely for multiple reasons. The scope of the FBI I am considering is the group in Japan that we have witnessed. Other FBI I am not concerned about because they are not a part of the story so far.
:::*If there was a traitor in the FBI, Rena's holding location would have been known and thus there was no need for Vermouth to interrogate the child and act like she had found out new information - who would she need to fool when she is reporting it too her fellow Black Org members?
:::*Gin would not needed to deduce which van Rena was being held in. Sure, the Black Org could have followed all three at first to keep up appearances, but it was clear Gin did not initially know which van Hidemi was in and then deduced it on his own when he heard from Vermouth that Akai that was following the second van - a bluff.
:::*Conan appeared in front of the whole assembly of FBI during the strategy meeting of Red and Black. If a traitor has witnessed that, Conan would have been investigated if not killed ("accidentally" if that was the case) soon after Red vs. Black. If Conan was investigated, this would have likely led to the uncovering of Haibara Ai, as the people connected to Conan would be investigated. She could easily be spotted by someone tailing Conan to school while studying his movement routine for example.
:::The FBI traitor theory is not particularly common, nor is it is not supported by evidence so far. The wiki itself operates with an inclusion standard of strong and reasonable evidence for a theory to be included (See the [[Akai faked his death theory]] for example) unless it is particularly common and this one is not. If you want to create a personal user page of the theory with details and then ask on the main forum if it acceptable for inclusion, be my guest. That is what I did for the three theory pages that I wrote.
:::[[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 19:54, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

::::Alright, I'll concede the attack, but only cause I didn't consider that he had already turned a bit.

::::My stance on the fruit, however, remains. Had it not been under the apple, Akai would have used his left hand for the next fruit while putting the apple aside, and had that one hidden the bomb his right hand would have pulled the bomb up (at the same time, if he needed to move another, then we're back to his left hand holding the bomb). As such, I say it remains as follows: the right hand was his choice (and your theory on why is as valid as mine) and the left hand holding the bomb was Unavoidable as a result of the previous choice, but this was not an effort used for the bomb but an effort used for a search.

::::I'll agree with Gin's radios if you just include the laptop in your description - this last device was absent once again from the description, so it'd be a little premature to give total agreement.

::::As for the traitor, allow me to speak my mind on this subject:
::::- If there is a traitor, they don't want him/her compromised due to the value of having someone keeping tabs on the FBI. As such, Rena and Conan need to be something the Black Organization learns in its own time - if either (particularly Rena - after the DJ case Conan and the people around him are already sitting on the edge of a boiling pot) dies or is found prematurely, the traitor's existence is revealed and all value of having him/her in the FBI is gone; the traitor can only be exposed when in a position to destroy all files on the Organization, kill all agents connected to the case, and end their investigation permanently: since we're talking about the FBI, that means the traitor's in until death.
::::- You're acting off the assumption every agent who initially knew Rena's location at the end of this case are the only suspects - I'm a fan of the idea Camel's the traitor for this reason (among others - my friend falls more into the James Black idea using the above point with others).
::::- Twice in the Clash of Red and Black arc, Gin talked about an informant - the first was in Chapter 603, where the informant seemed to be unable to give him anything on the FBI's movements but did give Gin a back up plan he didn't want to use; the second was in Chapter 607 where the Gin knew the details of the investigation Camel was caught in. These aren't necessarily the same informant, but it does mean they had someone(s) watching the FBI even after they reclaimed Rena.
::::- Speaking of Rena, Gin seemed almost certain that Akai would come alone to meet with her. Additionally, when Scar Akai appeared, Gin's first thought in Chapter 700 was "Kir screwed me," not "Akai cheated death." He completely disregarded the idea that Rena was tricked just like the rest of them and instead said she and Akai were co-conspiring. - Fanged Loathe from Mangafox (71.126.239.180)

:::::Can you explain again how the laptop has relevance to which hand Gin would choose for either radio that the position of said radio doesn't explain?

:::::Regarding the potential traitor, Gin's first informant was Vermouth looking for Akai's car. The second was someone they sent into the hospital. Gosho was being intentionally vague about the whole informant thing because he was actively encouraging the idea Camel was a BO spy up until he revealed that he was working with Akai on a secret plan instead. It is in the same vein as James Black making Akai sound like Gin in his first appearance.
:::::I think Camel and James Black are both loyal FBI. Haibara has been in the presence of both Camel and James Black; she had no reaction. Also, Akai trusts both of them, and he has a pretty decent sense for Org and not Org - he seemed to already have a hunch about Kir before Conan told him his end of things (recall his initial quote about bait 596.4 - she can't be "bait" sent deep into the Org if she is loyal to the Org after all).
:::::Besides, I don't know why you are assuming that having a spy in the FBI means the Black Org must act in an all (move only when able to destroy all info/agents/etc.,) or nothing fashion. Why can't the Black Org coincidentally be present for some function because, say, they were assassinating someone in the area? Or maybe someone else started investigating Kogoro for an incidental reason, like following up Gin's residual suspicions in the DJ case, and then finding Conan suspicious and encountering Haibara Ai. It is extremely easy for someone clever to create a series of plausible convenient reasons to act on info from a spy often without compromising him. For someone as important as Shiho, it is probable that action would be taken against her if there is easy opportunity to. They could arrange an accident: one of Agasa's inventions explodes, sabotage the beetle so there is a car crash, fire, hit and run...
:::::Regarding the red shirts case, Gin had that spiel about how he was excited to kill Akai again and had Chianti and Korn set up to kill him, so saying he was unconcerned with Akai being alive does not match with the manga. The reason Gin disregarded Rena being tricked is because there is no conceivable way Akai could have survived without Rena doing something tricky - she shot his on camera point blank and Gin and the Org monitored her the whole time. He doesn't know how exactly she could manage, but Gin doesn't have to because its pretty easy to make that deduction.

:::::There is no evidence I have seen for a spy in the FBI, and any vague suggestions, like Gin's informant line, can be adequately explained without resorting to postulating spies. Also there exists counterclaims (discussed earlier) that suggest there isn't one. Until there is some action or knowledge shown by Org that cannot be adequately explained without resorting to a spy, I personally will not postulate or base any theories on their existence because I think that is invalid and risky deductive logic.

Fair enough on the fruit. I just wanted a dog tag or whatever it's called anyway.

Your saying he put the device to his right by a free choice, I'm saying he put the device to his right because he needed his left for the laptop, and your assessment failed to make mention to this laptop and its impact on Gin's choices.

As for the traitor:

Where did you pull out Vermouth and Kusuda? Their roles in the unfurling of the series have passed, and we're talking about someone else entirely now. It is possible that Vermouth was the second informant in Chapter 607, but she was part of the initial plan in 603, so she can't be the informant Gin was talking about since this person was a back up plan.

Haibara's also gone on record stating her sense is getting weak, back in Volume 35 Chapter 10 where she said she couldn't feel/smell Numabuchi.

We don't really know how much Akai trusts them. We know he trusted Camel to deliver Rena and that he trusted James with knowledge of the meeting, but not much else. He actively distanced himself in the DJ case and his involvement with the rest of the FBI has been minimal in an "as needed" capacity in every other instance. We also have to remember Akai's alluded to having certain connections, so the fact is he could have been 100% sure Rena was clean well before the Clash of Red and Black arc even started.

Following your logic, then, it was foolish for the FBI to not make efforts to arrest the smaller Organization members as Akai made his way to Gin. The reason they haven't killed Conan is because there's only the DJ case incident to justify it which Vermouth and Akai gave him reason to abandon (additionally, Gin already suspects he and Kogoro are links to Sherry but doesn't know APTX4869 works, doesn't know there's a temporary antidote, and saw Sherry as an adult after her escape, so can't make the connection to Haibara - which even Pisco seemed convinced was true - and has reason to keep them alive). The reason they don't kill Kir is because there's been nothing besides Scar Akai to justify it. And because they don't have more solid motives, they have a choice to make: kill these opponents now and make their traitor, or leave them be to keep permanent tabs on their opponents - they can control the information Rena receives and can control the FBI and Conan's ability to stick their noses in Black Organization business (since they're not supposed to leave evidence anyway), but once the fact that there's a traitor's out they risk losing their ability to keep tabs on their opponents (and that's a huge loss when your opponents include governmental law enforcement organizations) and once Rena's killed a new and unknown agent will attempt to infiltrate (the security issue is more easily resolved, but not taking any more new members is still a huge hit).

I never said Gin was unconcerned with Akai's survival, the only point I made was that he didn't think for a single moment Akai did it alone. And how is it easy to make the deduction Rena absolutely had to help if he was alive? You offered nothing in the line of evidence to support the idea Akai couldn't have done it without Rena being in on it, you instead just said Rena was being watched as she killed him. We say blood packs and blanks, Gin can say blood packs and body armor. We say predetermined locations, Gin says Akai was covered everywhere but his face and hands. The point I'm making is that you didn't offer anything to refute the idea Akai acted without her help, and didn't address that Gin wasn't interested in learning how he did it, despite being interested in learning about how Sherry escaped and this being one of the few murders he remembers. - Fanged Loathe from Mangafox

:I said the two informants were Vermouth and someone else, without ever mentioning Kusuda (I would have used his name if I meant him). Here is how I reached my conclusion about the two.
:'''Vermouth''': Vodka asks Gin in file 603 on page 5 if he had any calls from the informant. Gin's exact lines are "I haven't gotten anything from the informant... Anyway, according to ''that person's'' (ano kata) instructions, that plan is just to be extra sure; however, I haven't been counting on the informant from the beginning." Now, fast forward to when Gin berates Vermouth for being slow finding Akai's car because he parked far away. (603.8) "You're late Vermouth... that was a direct order from ''that person'', right?" Vermouth being the informant perfectly matches up with Gin's lines:
:*The order was from the boss
:*Vermouth's info on Akai’s whereabouts was "extra"; the core of Gin’s plan was Vodka, Chianti, and Korn with the thermographers.
:*Vodka was wondering why the informant was delayed, and Vermouth was delayed because she could not find Akai at first.
:*Vermouth initially had not found Akai, so the informant had no information (not gotten anything).
:*Gin was not counting on Vermouth's info because the opponent was Akai, and Gin had correctly predicted Akai anticipated being searched for and would make it difficult for the BO to find him.
:The reason why Gosho was being exceptionally vague here is because he wants everyone to think Camel might be a spy. It was part of the mystery.
:The second informant is the one Vodka mentioned sending into the hospital after Kusuda ceased contact in 599.2. Of course this informant was made out to be Camel when he appeared later. Later it was revealed that Akai called Camel in, not Vodka.

:Haibara wonders if her "sense" is getting weak, but you also have to consider the parameters under which her "sense" operates. Canonically, her sense triggers around (former) BO who are focused or in an aggressive mood. On the same page, Haibara states that her sister started giving her the feeling just before the robbery, showing that her sense is conditional. ''(Note that most translations of this scene (bottom right panel) are wrong, even the anime sub. The main DCTP translator, Abs., provided the revised translation.)'' Similarly, Okiya is on and off for Haibara, and he is on when he is analytically focused or aggressive. Numabuchi was initially running away, with no intent to kill or hold hostages to escape. He then gave up on escaping and intentionally walked directly into the DB at the end (he would not have missed their voices) with Mitsuhiko and gave himself up to the police without a fuss. Her sense didn't pick up Numabuchi because he was in a cowardly state of mind, and was busy trying to enjoy the land from his childhood.

:Akai trusts James Black and Camel enough. He reassures Conan that Camel is trustworthy and entrusts him not to botch a vital plan (returning Rena). He is willing to work for and be alone around James Black. Akai doing things on his own and keeping it secret is like Conan’s style. Akai is worried the others might botch his strategy, so he leaves them out of the loop, not because he thinks they are malicious. No comment on Akai’s connections.

:Two things here, you can’t equate the two because the FBI and the BO have entirely different ranges and limitations on their actions. Second, neither of us know how the FBI acted while Akai was busy infiltrating, so you can’t claim they never tried to investigate or capture any lower level agents – because they might have and the readers were not informed. Hypotheticals don’t count.
:They can kill Kir at any time. Maybe she was caught contacting someone? How would the FBI find out this wasn’t true? If I use your logic that they are keeping a traitor around to spread misinformation, they have already failed in controlling her, which should be their number one prerogative. She informed the FBI that a new agent called Bourbon was activated and doing something. While I do believe Bourbon’s mission to find Sherry was misinformation, the secrecy of Bourbon’s actions was compromised so that the FBI is now aware of him and may take action to capture him should they find him. It would be one thing if Bourbon was a made-up agent to distract the FBI, but Vermouth’s most recent appearance indicates clearly Bourbon is a real person with a real mission and most likely a solo one at that, making him highly vulnerable. Unless the Org was willing to sacrifice a codenamed agent to drive into the FBI a steel wedge of their own, the info leak doesn’t make sense.
:Espionage-wise, it is easier to get new infiltrators into the Organization when someone is in there already and passing recent info about structure and operations and such. The informant need not be informed of new infiltrators either; separated cells are pretty common so one agent can’t reveal the other under duress should one be discovered. The Organization would have to be willing to risk this.

:It’s incredibly easy to make the deduction that Rena was not tricked.
:*Basic morals mean the FBI and Akai himself would not sacrifice anyone as a body double for Akai, which means only the genuine Akai would show up. The FBI’s reaction to the death corroborates this deduction.
:*Sorry, I made the assumption that you knew a forehead protector is not physically viable. There is no feasible way to block a headshot point blank from a Colt M1911. I don’t know how much you know about bullet resistant vest products, but getting shot with a bullet while wearing one is like taking a heavy hammer blow. Broken ribs happen. Now consider that Akai was wearing his normal hat and thus has limited blocking material that can be put under there. (Metal alone isn't enough because it doesn't cushion the blow, and thin enough metal is not sufficient to block) Getting shot at point blank to the forehead even with the thickest protector Akai could have worn without being suspicious would have at minimum knocked him out so he couldn’t escape the bomb or be taken away by an accomplice, but mostly likely would have caved in his skull and killed him then and there. As long as Akai is shot in the head with a live bullet, Gin can fairly safely assume he would die. Kir would have to be in on it then because she must have conspired to use a non-live bullet if Akai is still alive.
:[[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 00:47, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

You know, you are really easy to manipulate. Yes, I do know that bullet proof products still send the force through the body, a point Aoyama made himself when Akai shotgunned Vermouth, and do know that Kir's gun more than likely would have killed Akai even if he was wearing a skull cap, but I needed to get you to point this truth out, since you could always just accuse me of making it up to further your own points.

You see, there's a term in the literary world called "Cognitive Estrangement," and it's used two ways: I call one the Author Way and the other the Critic Way, you previously used the latter. The Author Way is the original way it's meant to be used, a method of enforcing Suspension of Disbelief, and it means that the author takes advantage of the fact that target audience generally would not know the mechanics behind certain elements (like when the movie 21 made the card counting team unbeatable when they were counting cards and focused, any real counter knows only someone with an Eidetic Memory can never lose at Blackjack). This is one of the arguments I expected you to bring up as to why Akai held the rifle left handed when anyone with just a bit of knowledge would know he should hold it right handed (and I also believe you used this as an argument as to why Muzzle Blast wasn't a problem with the idea Rena shot blanks); your argument would have been that Aoyama did not want to confuse his readers so played upon the fact that they probably wouldn't know how to hold a bolt-action rifle, especially since this is something he hasn't brought up himself. The Critic way works in a similar manner as the Author Way, but the difference is the Critic Way uses it to degrade a piece's value. The Critic Way means the author is the one who doesn't know the mechanics and made a poor decision that should have been researched before including into the story (like if I were to write a fan-fic on Twilight, I couldn't stomach my way through it and wouldn't know how to do one thing with the characters or anything else) - as you can see, it's your argument on why Akai held the rifle the wrong way. However, you're now using mechanics concerning Kir's handgun that are notably less well known than the mechanics of all bolt-action rifles to argue that Kir could not be tricked. You can't have it both ways Chekhov: either Akai holding the rifle wrong is deliberate choice by Aoyama or the bullet proof cap is a feasible means of faking his death.

For more proof that you're finding evidence to support your conclusions, I'd like to draw your attention back to points I "surrendered" on: the search of the fruit basket and Gin shooting Pisco. I laid out the facts of that situation for you, that Akai began a search knowing what he was looking for but not knowing where, that he started with his right hand, and that he fortunately got the bomb after the first fruit while his right hand was occupied. What's posted up on the handedness page however, is your speculation that Akai would not have continued the search with his right hand if he hadn't been lucky and that using his left hand to hold the bomb was his unshakable plan. As for Gin, I maintain that while the logic you use is sound, it's invariably a justification of why it's a choice. However, it remains listed under Unavoidable. Would you like me to point out more of the times you've done this? I really could carry on for a while, you've given me more than enough evidence.

Additionally, the FBI and Black Organization are very comparable in this particular situation. The Black Organization is a syndicate that tries to make itself akin to a monster in the attic, while the FBI has been pointed out as not having the jurisdiction to investigate in Japan (yet another Cognitive Estrangement): both of these points mean they need to carry out their operations in absolute secrecy with the only real difference being that the FBI agents can identify themselves as such and use the common vacation excuse while the operatives of the Black Organization have no such breathing room. Second, yeah, we do know how the FBI operated in that time. If Black Organization members suddenly start disappearing and Rye is a common thread between them, then Rye becomes suspicious. The FBI is known to let small criminals slide when they want big criminals, like if they're going after the worst of the child pornographers, they first infiltrate small time pedophile meetings which may contain some pedophiles who aren't even the dangerous kind and let them all off the hook. This is just common sense, and if you're currently hell bent on discounting Cognitive Estrangement, then I have more. Look up Whitey Bulger's time with the FBI; even though he broke all of them, the basic rules and liberties they gave him to follow as well as the parts concerning the FBI's targets are all true.

And are you seriously contending that proves James and Camel are in the clear? In the first place, I used that moment to argue Camel as a traitor. Who better to ensure the delivery of Rena than the traitor himself? If he gives her back, then the informant is back in. If he fails to give her back (either by being unreachable with his driving, switching with Jodie when she proposed, or anything else), then he exposes himself as a member of the Organization and ends his run on their team with the only downside of Rena's fate becoming uncertain. Furthermore, we even argue that Akai asked Rena to really try and knock him out, killing two birds with one stone with the only flaw being that it hinges on the assumption Gin would reclaim her to kill Akai (a reason my friend leans to James Black, who has no such flawed reasoning). In the second place, being alone with him does not make James trustworthy in Akai's eyes. Alone is in fact that best time to grill him, since he can't use anyone else as a means of changing the subject and no one will try to stop Akai. Additionally, if everyone knows they go off alone, then James becomes a person of interest if Akai dies and he lives. Knowing Akai's caution and apparent pessimism (meaning a slip of the tongue is extremely unlikely to happen and not too much of a problem from him anyway), he's actually safer with the traitor than he is alone.

What does letting the FBI know about Bourbon really hinder? They still don't know Bourbon's identity so paranoia spreads, and the secret nature of their work forces them to not cause too many scenes unless it's life or death time. And besides that, it's beneficial for him to let the information leak at his leisure as opposed to waiting and then having it leak. If Bourbon himself caused the leak and then drew back and waited a bit before confronting the FBI in any way as himself, then new faces are viewed with much less suspicion. Part of the logic concerning the idea that Subaru is Bourbon is predicated off this idea: Subaru is suspected of being Bourbon because he appeared right after Bourbon was revealed as activated. I can even argue your logic on Scar Akai being Bourbon is a further nail he hammered into the coffin to help cement the idea that it's someone already around them into the FBI, since logic denotes he would benefit from overhearing their reactions and subsequent conversations. Aoyama even used the exact opposite logic to hide Vermouth: she was hiding as Araide, a character who was established before her, because people would suspect the characters who came before her less, especially as new characters appeared. However, if he hides himself and the rest of the Organization has a slip of the tongue, then he's suspected just as much as everyone else when it slips. And really, she's going to be killed over a call? After what happened to her father, you're suggesting she'd let such a thing happen? She knows it's always possible, but after that horror she's more likely to minimize the odds of such a thing long before she even picks up the phone. She has to die during a job or with the capture and death of Akai and not a moment sooner.

Cowardly? Numabuchi was hell bent on seeing fireflies and not getting caught before he got to see them, that's hardly cowardly. That's your conclusion on the condition right there: focus. Once again, you let your bias shine through and disregarded the simple facts and contradictions in your words. This really has been very easy on me.

Finally, if it was as simple as Vermouth being the backup, what was the security against the possibility of something like Conan's plan of using Agasa or they didn't move her? Everything they did up until that point had a main reason and a countermeasure: the Columbine would either tip off the FBI (initial) or kill some of them (counter), the mass of patients both allowed the delivery men to skate around security (main) and got a new informant inside (counter, and thanks for pointing this one out for me before you could argue it away), and all the bombs would either force them to move her so they could snatch her (main) or finish off Rena and seal her lips forever (counter). Gin's final plan, however, hinges on the idea that the FBI actually takes her out of the hospital in a van and don't use them as a feint to just draw their attention away from another vehicle or the hospital. Even with the informant in the hospital, this is hardly protection as proven when Conan and the gang used the Empty Fort Strategy in the Red Wall case: if the FBI withdraws everyone but three or four people (pretense of a clean up of the hospital) and they transfer her to a new room, then the informant tells them the FBI withdrew and Rena is gone.

Thanks again for doing most of the work for me. This has been very useful. I now know how to get you to let the truth out in place of your stupid biases and conceit all the sock puppetting built up in you - I gave the old fashioned means a final try, but that's clearly not going to help anymore unless I further your own conclusions.

That's the one. Not the Victim is Shinichi Kudo and Inubushi Castle! That one has to be two separate articles. Because the Inubushi title splits into 3 part names. That one has to be REALLY into 2 seperate articles. And what?! Not the roller coaster and kidnapping company president. That one has to separate also. And one more is the rest of them in the list in "not merges". Also the mansion of death and the red wall, that one makes 4 part names. That policy is so wrong! Who invented that kind of policy? Was it you or Maurice? Those are the three articles in the "not merges" list not to be merged.

===Part 1===
Takeyori Oikawa claims that Kaitou Kid is targeting his painting which is to be unveiled to the world live that day. The painting is a final part of a set of four. He hires Kogoro to protect the painting from Kid. They place the painting in a secluded room with guards at the door and outside the window. When a black out occurs, the painting is stolen and Oikawa's father, who was in the room, is murdered.

While the police speculate how the murder was done and whether Kid is the culprit, Oikawa receives a letter from Kid which claims he will steal the truth of him. Oikawa disfigures the letter to incriminate Kid for the murder and hands it to Conan. Conan who had suspected Oikawa murdered his father is now certain he is the culprit.

<spoiler>
After a thorough investigation, Conan concludes there was never a painting behind the cloth and that it was suspended by a fishing line. Conan reveals that when the police broke into the room, the fishing line, which was held by a rock at the end, was pulled outside the window creating the sense that a person jumped out the window. Oikawa confesses and reveals that he had only planned a set of three but his father scammed the customers into buying the third painting into paying extra so that he would make a fourth painting. Oikawa, unable to paint due to the death of his wife, planned to pretend his painting was stolen to save his career. However, Oikawa thought his father would reveal Oikawa's plan to the world and thus ruining his career as an artist. Conan reveals that Oikawa's father had been practicing on imitating Oikawa's style and had the fourth painting finished and his plan was to give Oikawa his painting. Oikawa then laments over the death of his father due to a misunderstanding. Later on, Takagi is revealed to be Kid and leaves the mansion upon helping with the investigation and having his name cleared.

== Advice ==
Maurice-sama, can you try to contact Shogakukan at info@shogakukan.co.jp? I try to ask them a question of that they can contact the authors like Gosho Aoyama. But they won't respond to me. I was thinking maybe it was the tsunami problem. There's also another thing that I just don't get it. If the Detective Conan manga always get published at Shogakukan. Why don't they ever respond to my question? Of course I send them a message by using Japanese language and English message (just in case) but why won't they ever respond to me? So you know I was kind of asking you a favor. Can you try to contact Shogakukan at info@shogakukan.co.jp? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 04:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

== One page or multipage case? ==

What do you do for pages when you have a single case that takes up multiple episodes, but doesn't follow the 'Episode name part 1/2" naming format? Specifically I am referring to [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen]]. It started as multiple pages, one for each episode, [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=The_Crisis_Beckoned_by_the_Red_Omen&oldid=28473|then was collapsed into one page for all the episodes] like the usual 'Episode name part 1/2" cases are, then it has since been expanded back into one page per episode. What is proper here? [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 02:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
:That's what I thought, but I didn't want to get into a revert war with S261157 without being sure I was doing the right thing. "Tomorrow is there" is the manga chapter name for the entire suicidal guy case which became 2/3rds of the first episode of that series. "Thirteen red shirts" I made up; not the best idea, but I figured it was descriptive. I could go with "Hint of Red and Thirteen" which was a manga chapter name for the thirteen red shirts case.

== Please ==

Maurice-sama please I beg you!! Please chage the way it was before. I so do not like this. On [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen]]. Thats's not how it supposed to be!!! One episode has to be one episode! Yeah of course it's like 1/2 cases but still, please chage it back please I beg you! It's my turn to ask you and please can you do it? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 21:22, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

== Need third opinion ==

There is a minor edit war going on Vermouth in the non-aging section. You can follow my series of responses on the [[Talk:Vermouth|Vermouth article talk]] page, since the user replaced their talk page with "If you're not going to read my posts and ignore details, like the fact that an additional adjective is necessary, completely ignore the presented reasoning, and cast your unsubstantiated reasoning as a fact, then I'm just going to allow the talk page to stand like this and eradicate all speculations from the site. If you undo that, then congratulations, you've made me not able to trust a word this wiki has to say."

My rose tinted view of the argument are that basically I asked Wildcardmma to back up his/her statement that Vermouth has shown suicidal tendencies with references without success. (Note that I didn't remove said suicidal line from the article while the argument was in progress.) Without references, I suggested a compromise that avoided the word suicidal without effectively changing the content or meaning of the line: "However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series, both as a role she plays and as herself, it is possible she took the drug hoping to die, but was made younger like Haibara". it seems Wildcardmma was not pleased with this suggestion. 
Also there was a disagreement about what the Black Org was doing by using APTX 4869 on people. Wildcardmma said field testing, I said murder weapon only (and provided multiple quotes to this effect). It really didn't matter to the content of the article as far as I can tell, but may have fueled her perception I was trying to force my own way, or something like that. 
In the middle of all this, an IP came through and deleted the section because it contained speculation. (Edit summary: Wikis are supposed to be about facts. That paragraph was a statistical analysis and conclusion that may not be right, which led to the addition of possibilities by certain user(s).) I reverted because there is no policy against speculation (assuming it is informed and referenced), and because speculation sections (with competing ideas) are widespread across virtually all plot and plot character articles. 
Basically, I think I have handled this as best as I can, but I hoping to get your opinion on this, and suggestions on what to do with speculation sections. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 19:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

The IP who changed that just now is a long term vandal who vandalized Eisuke once, but since then adds random characters to various episode cast lists. He's a low frequency vandal (less than once a week) who generally only makes a small number of bad edits at a time. I've never seen anything productive out of him. The IPs used so far are

Thank you for cleaning up the Gallery Page I created, I was going to leave it and find an admin to clean it and you saved a lot of time, so thank you. I apologise if the pictures aren't very good quality. I just noticed that there aren't any DC Websites (that I could find) with Episode Galleries, this is a good website so I wanted it to be the first so I started uploading pictures. I need to get to grips with this website - I'm an Admin on the Pokemon Wiki you see. If there are any problems I'm guessing I can come to you for help! [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:23, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay so should I just take this Episode as a one off and add 30 relevant pictures (that way my hard work isn't put to waste) and then on Episode two (and all the other Episodes) have only thirty like you said? Or should I delete all the Episode 1 pictures and start off fresh with just minute by minute pictures with a maximum of thirty? [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I've removed some irrelevant pictures for more space. If I end up having over 30 when I finish I'll try and delete as many as possible. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:49, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

== Episode 2's Gallery ==

The gallery for Episode Two is complete. Just giving you a heads up. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 15:38, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed you improved my captions on Episode 1's gallery, could I keep telling you when I finish a gallery? And then you change the captions? Only your captions are better than mine. Or to make it even quicker for me to upload, would you like me to upload them and you caption them?

== Introduction, Question, and Suggestion ==

Hello there Maurice. I've been a member of this wiki for a good while now, mostly as a reader, but I have recently become more active around the site. Seeing as how I've pretty much spammed the Recent changes page a few times, I figured I should just introduce myself and thank you for running such an awesome wiki! Believe me, I've seen some pretty awful ones, so it's nice to see someone so dedicated!

Anyways, I have a question for you since I am posting here. Could you take a look at [[Template:Movies|this]] template I made and see if it's alright? I mostly copied and pasted from pre existing navigational boxes, and I think it works as it is right now, but the font looks kind of funky, and I'm not sure if I have the coding right following my edits. I did intend to center the movie titles and keep them all in one box/row, however, which is why I am slightly concerned. Since none of the other templates I could find on the site used the format I was looking for, I had to improvise to the best of my ability. Sooooo, yeah. Haha. Thanks!

Lastly, I have a request. Or rather a suggestion. I absolutely LOVE the whole plot legend system you have going for the manga, and the symbols you added look great (particularly the one for the Black Organization). When I looked up the B.O. icon, it said you were the author of the image, so I thought it best that I ask you this: Could you make an icon representing Kaitou Kid related chapters? Perhaps you can model it off of the B.O. one I keep mentioning. Just a suggestion/request. Either way, you did a nice job setting the whole system up! Visuals and organization are what keep me coming back to informational sites such as this one after all. :P

Thank you for your time and good job again on running this site! :D Hope to hear back from you soon!

== Kaito Kid ==
This is 69.150.185.236, Oh Oh Oh! On Plot system, make Kaito Kid's drawing as a symbol just like he put on those letters!
== Help ==
This is 69.150.185.236, I have a problem, I can't put Kaito Kid symbols in OVA plots. I try preview but it's not showing Kaito Kid's symbol.

== Confusing ==
This is 69.150.185.236, this is confusing. On [[Chinatown Deja Vu in the Rain]], I'm not so sure that Hama is last name. I just put Hama Mike. Confusing when there's English and Japanese together. Is it Mike Hama or just Hama Mike?

== Watch Section ==

Do you think we should have a watch section for Episodes? I'll do an example on Episode 1, have a look and then tell me your thoughts - if it's a bad idea I'll remove the section immediatly. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:16, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

== A Few Things ==

I'm still figuring out how to properly respond to comments left on Talk pages, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. As for this oddly formatted response, I'm pretty much OCD about everything looking nice, so this is my attempt at fitting everything in with one edit and still being organizaed. So, anyways, here we go...

=== RE: RE: Introduction, Question, and Suggestion ===

Thank you for your kind words about my kind words! lol I'm glad to hear comments such as my previous help motivate and encourage. I really do appreciate all of the hard work that this entire community put into the site. Detective Conan is an amazing series that I believe goes unappreciated at times. Communities and projects such as this Wiki really help spread word of the series and how dedicated the fans are! Kudos to you for starting this great site, and to everyone for maintaining it! I'll be sure to continue contributing because, just like yourself, I have enjoyed myself thus far! Thanks again! Oh, and the Kaito Kid symbol looks great! I've already seen it being integrated and it seems to be working out well! Thanks for listening to my request!

=== RE: Juzo Megure Appearances ===

Thank you again for your kind words! As for Wiki experience, I do have some. A few years back I contributed to Wikipedia frequently, but all the vandalism, rules, and arguing just took the fun out of it. It's been a few years since then, so I've gotten a little rusty, but I'm starting to get back into the hang of it. Smaller communities such as this seem to be more dedicated and enjoyable anyways, not to mention far less confrontational. Sure thing! You can count on me! :)

=== FBI Template ===

In my attempt to better organize and group together various articles, I decided to try and make a template for the FBI. Unfortuneatly, I can't quite decide on how the template should be organized. I've listed two of my different concepts below for you to visualize. Particularly with the second template, I used coding from other tables on the site to help me format. I'm not sure about what order the names should be listed in, or what color scheme should be used for the table overall, but I think those are pretty easy edits. If you could take a look at the two templates below and tell or show me what you think in terms of coding, organization, and edits needed for the final product, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

====Template 1====

For the first template, I tried to integrate the FBI ensignia within the formatting. Perhaps the coding can be tweaked or image shifted to the right, but I think the template came out looking pretty nice. There aren't many articles at this point concerning the FBI for me to use in the template, so I simply listed all current agents on one row. The names are all to the right of the ensignia, centered with the remaining empty space. For the sake of information, I added Scar Akai next to Shuichi as his true identity has yet to be revealed. That can be reworked or removed entirely.

{|style="clear: both; background-color:#FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #a6a6a6; width:50%; margin: 8px auto 0px;" class="bonav collapsible"
|-
! colspan="2" align="center" style="background-color:#738FC3; font-size:95%; padding: 1px 5px 1px 8px;" | <div class="noprint plainlinks navbar" style="float: left; width:6em; text-align:left; font-weight: normal; font-size: xx-small; color: #ffffff;">[[:Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation|v]] • [[:Template_talk:Federal Bureau of Investigation|d]] • [{{fullurl:Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation|action=edit}}e]</div> '''[[Federal Bureau of Investigation|Federal Bureau of Investigation]]'''
|-
| [[File:FBI logo.png|100px]]
| align="center" | [[James Black]] • [[Jodie Starling]] • [[Shuichi Akai]] ( [[Scar Akai]] ) • [[Andre Camel]]
|}

====Template 2====

The second template I created simply follows the formatting used [[Template:Black Organization|here]] and [[Template:Detective Boys|here]]. Again, with so little information to go off of, I could only things into two rows: 'Active Agents' and 'Deceased Agents'. If consistence is important, this template is probably the better one to choose. On the 'Deceased Agents' row, I listed Akai Shuichi and Scar Akai, as his death is still up for debate. I would put Jodie's father here as well, but his name is unknown and he has never actually appeared to my knowledge. Anyways, height, width, and overall perimeters can be adjusted if need be, and again, some coding may need to be worked on. I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of Wiki format.

== Video File=Media File? ==

Is it possible to upload videos to this website? I know you can upload Media Files so would a video count? It's a video of Episode 1 with subtitles. I was thinking maybe if I did Episode Galleries and videos that would be even better for articles. Also maybe we could adapt the watch section of this wiki (I know it's broken atm) and link it! Also that means that if school ever stops me from taking the time to create galleries I can still upload videos! Let me know your thoughts!
[[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 16:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Or I could re-link the watch section to valid links - it's a huge task but I'm up for it!

== From IP 109.235.49.143 ==

Chekhov MaccGuffin

http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Talk:Vermouth#Confusing

Over the course of this page, I find that Chekhov has been less than considerate of other users' theories, and has said that a wiki is meant for just such behavior. I find it hard to believe that someone like this would be made moderator. He even went so far as to repeatedly ignore what I and two other users wrote when making his points. As another IP said, such behavior and a position of power casts serious doubt on anything posted on this wiki. I understand there's going to be debate, but that's not what he's after; this behavior is more akin to single-mindedness. I also found that he chased a certain user away, and evidently the other IP is not returning. And to be fair, I'm also not returning either once this situation is over. Clean up you moderator's behavior towards other users, or I'm going over your head.

==Foreign thing help!==
Right, so I when I started to add them to the Character pages such as [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Conan Edogawa|Conan's]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko's]], I realized I might need to make a Template, so eventually I made the [[Template:CharLang|Template]] but I want to as you a question:
How do you make it so that the languages only appear if you type.
Example if you write only the Korean one so
<pre>
{{CharLang
|korean-name = 코난 Konan
|korean-surname = n/a
}}
</pre>
Which becomes:
{{CharLang
|korean-name = 코난 Konan
|korean-surname = n/a
}}
How do you get rid of the Other Languages???
Can you please put the code for it to work. Becuase it kinda does for the [[Template:InfoBox Char|Character Table Template]]
Can you please reply once you fixed the problem.

== Heads up on Vermouth issue ==

I've been dealing with, or trying to deal with, an IP over the issue of Vermouth's aging issue speculation section. There are a few IPs involved tracing to different locations but I am pretty sure they are the same user because on a wiki that gets maybe 50-100 edits a day total, and most IP edits to case pages, we have two separate IPs with the exact same viewpoints and editing style and one suddenly comes to the other's defense without any other editing elsewhere when you can have weeks between substantial IP edits in any character pages. You can read the discussion on [[talk:Vermouth]], but to summarize, the issue has primarily been over references and interpretations of references. This user has not taken kindly to the fact that I have challenged various edits of theirs and undid some of their changes after I categorically referenced the statements the IP removed with difficult-to-dispute references. There is also a lot on nitpicking over words and phrasing and stuff. The user has deleted the speculation section twice and I've reverted. I've kept reasonably civil and focused on the article despite various accusations the IP has made. A third person view would be nice. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 21:27, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
:I am damn impressed you made it through that discussion, enough to resort to an expletive.

== Character List Images ==
I know that there's a way to change what name is displayed in the character list using something like Char|Shinichi Kudo|display=Shinichi; is there a way to do something similar to change what image appears for the character?

== 69.148.232.113 ==

Can you please talk to this user for me? I assume it is the same person that the site has had problems with in the past. I've been working on a project for the wikia offline quite a bit recently, but my recent unrelated edits (not related to images) have been reverted and deleted and vandalized consistently by this person. While I realize that a Wikia is a community working together for a joint-purpose, some of his edits and comments are just unnecessary and immature. If this is the same person that people have complained about in the past, then I don't think it would be wise for me to confront him. [[Special:Contributions/69.148.232.113]] This recent edit comment "(→People: OMG, Jigsaw. She has a name. What is wrong with you!!!)" really bothered me. Perhaps I am taking this too personally, but I don't appreciate spending the time I do on here just to get attitude and have my contributions criticized. --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 21:11, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't have much on it yet, but it looks like it's off to a great start. Unfortunately I don't speak French, but I was curious if we could try asking if they'd like to affiliate with us. It'd be great for the "World" part of our name to become a reality and connect many different DC fans around the globe through our wikis.

== Better or Worse ==

When your editing a cast section of an episode, is it better to set it out like this:
<pre>
{{Char Appearances|
{{Char|Conan Edogawa}}
{{Char|Kogoro Mouri}}
{{Char|Ran Mouri}}
{{Char|Hiroshi Agasa|display=Dr. Agasa}}
{{Char|Ayumi Yoshida}}
{{Char|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
{{Char|Genta Kojima}}
{{Char|Inspector Megure}}
}}
</pre>

Or this?

<pre>
{{BeginBox}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Shinichi Kudo]]|image = Shinichi Kudo.jpg|link=Shinichi Kudo|description =

* High school student
* Detective}}

:I can answer this. The first way (Char Appearances) is proper when doing a cast list of characters who have appeared before which is the case in most episodes. Begin box is used for case suspects and other people under the people section and for new characters.

== Question ==
How would one determine whether people should be listed in the Cast box, the People section, or the Characters introduced section? My understanding was that the first appearance of an important or recurring character should be listed as such under Characters introduced. While judgment can occasionally blur here when it comes to Magic Kaito characters, what with the OVAs and a separate series of TV Specials, I think it's pretty self-explanatory. However, a recent edit [[Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!!|'''here''']] in which a user moved everyone from People to the Cast section has really gotten me confused. Was such an edit correct? If they were to be in the Cast box, I would imagine they need to have appeared before in the Detective Conan anime series, which none of them have. In most cases, I would move them to Characters introduced, but with so many people and very little significance to the series, I don't think that would be the case here. I guess, simply put, do they belong in the Cast box or the People section? I only question this because a similar situation seems to be accepted in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan|'''this''']] article. I'm probably over thinking this, but I like to get my facts straight before making judgment. Thanks! --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 03:56, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
:The characters of Yaiba is on the cast just like Lupin III vs. Detective Conan and Kindaichi Case Files on game. They're from different show so it's like special guests to the shows. So it's A-Okay! :) --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 04:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Desperate Request ==
Can you please delete these articles:
[[Kyousuke Kazato]] and [[Toshiya Odagiri]]? Irish IS an important character but those 2 are regular people for Movie 4. Plus you said you will delete those two. They're not really important. Irish is important because of Black Organization article. I don't want to be rude but it has to be deleted and they are regular people after all. It can't be all the people who has their own articles. Right?
:They are already categorized as "unnecessary articles" and are thus flagged to be deleted eventually. We'll delete those pages as soon as the information is transferred to the correct spots in the relevant articles. --[[User:Maurice|Maurice]] [[User talk:Maurice|talk]] 14:22, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

== Wait ==
Wait hold on. This is not supposed to happen. He doesn't have a keyhole number. He can't have his own profile! Are you serious!? Whenever users about to create character profile, they should have a talk with you first. You should put on instructions or something. You know it can't be all the people who owns their profile in the entire universe of the wiki. This time he can't be the part of the main characters.

== Manga volume case description format ==

Recently [[User:CoolKid94]] redid [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Volume_1&diff=41384&oldid=41063 the first Manga Volume page that so that it the case description is on a per case basis instead of a per manga chapter basis]. I'm not if that's a useful improvement. I likes having descriptions for every file instead of every case better. I don't mind the spoiler tags usage and such. What do you think?

== Crimeboxes ==

One of the ongoing revert wars here at DCW seems to be where a crime box is located. When you get a chance, could you add something to the MoS concerning this topic? Also, if the correct format is for a crimebox to be midtext, is there a way to wrap text around it like you would an image? Thanks! --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 23:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

== Problem ==
Maurice-sama, I have a problem. This user Daniel46 is putting crime boxes above the story. This is the best idea of putting crime boxes in the middle of the text. Like for example,
While Conan and Ran were walking, they found the dead body.
(Crime box appears)
It makes more sense. Right? Do you agree? Check out Clash of Red and Black article for example. The multiple crime boxes occur in the middle of the story makes more sense and a perfect idea of the locations of the crime boxes occur. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 21:39, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

==Concerning the current DC Style Wars==
Hi, Maurice. On the placement of the Crime Boxes, I'd like to comment that stylistically this measure is rather an eyesore. I mean, it's like placing the headline of a newspaper article into the middle of the main text. The Crime Boxes are in my opinion of an introductionary nature, giving an overwiew of the crime before the investigation begins. It's like in a real criminal case: The deed is done and discovered (as shown and summarized in the Crime Boxes), the police questions everyone, and the reconstruction of facts commences, recounting as to how the persons (in this case, Conan & Company) got involved in this case. And I'd also like to comment on the difference between the Plot Overview and the Background descriptions for '''[[Hidemi Hondou]]'''. The facts provided so far are a mere summarization of her appearances and plot contributions in the series and should be treated as generic Background information, while the Plot Overview is used for more specific details. Like, look at the '''[[Ai Haibara]]''' and '''[[Heiji Hattori]]''' entries and compare their Background accounts with the information currently set in '''Hidemi Hondou'''. Also, the Background facts are written in Past Tense, while the Plot Overviews are usually set in Present Tense. The splitting up of the currently available information for '''Hidemi Hondou''' is therefore as much as an eyesore as it is unnecessary. I am a novel reader and fledging book writer, so I can say that I have acquired a certain eye for literary style. So I ask you to reconsider the overall style in order to make this site a stylistic pleasure. Yours sincerely,[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 06:15, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

:Hi again, Maurice. Just read your mail, and regarding the Crime Boxes, I think your suggestion of setting them at the end of a section has its merits in certain points. However, one must consider that in the case of ''Detective Conan'', you '''always''' expect a criminal case to occur, and a Crime Box is in that point an announcement - or summarization - of the situation as it can be found on the crime scene. It's like the headline of a newspaper: It announces what's happened, drawing attention to the case at hand, and then follows the background (story) to that case. The police proceeds the same way with protocols, recounting what's happened up to the point of the crime, the persons the victim(s) have been in contact with, circumstances etc. For your information: There are several TV shows which demonstrate this ''modus operandi'', especially the German show '''"Aktenzeichen XY ... Ungelöst"''' ("File Sign XY ... Unsolved"). It's both a sort-of reality TV documentary as well as a licensed investigation aid for the German police to resolve difficult criminal cases. Many of these cases are reconstructed as short films, which describe the respective crime in as much detail as it is known, from the victim's background up to the date and location where the crime was committed, and sometimes the subsequent investigation. The series was (and still is) so successful that it inspired several international copies, most notably '''"America's Most Wanted."''' XY is all in German, I know, but just to peak your interest; I'd like to give you the website '''http://www.e110.de/'''; look for the keyword "'''XY-Sendung vom ...'''" to have a look into the latest epsiode to date. Several episodes are also featured on YouTube. If you've got any questions about XY - like a certain case type (murder, robbery etc.) you'd like to observe as a film (of course with a summary by my person) -, just give me the word and I'll give you a corresponding link for upload. As for '''[[Hidemi Hondou]]''', the information currently found on the chapter was originally posted by me ... in the '''Background''' section. Someone just decided to chop it up, adding little self-initiative work to 'complete' it. What I've written was solely intended for the Background and was (is) as compact as I could get it; if you look closer, you'll see that it's more general that detail, as it was intended. The same type of work I've done with '''[[Heiji Hattori]]''', and initially there were some unreasonable changes, but ever since no one has done any more crippling so far. I suggest you closely compare the '''Heiji Hattori''' Background section with what's been done in '''Hidemi Hondou''' more recently (i.e. what is listed under '''Plot Overview''' now) ... and I hope you'll agree with me. Yours sincerely,[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 18:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

== Identical Gallery ==

Not to be inpolite but I found http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/User:S261157 has created an [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Emergency_Situation_252/Gallery identical gallery] to one of mine, but with a different name. Could that user just have moved the name of my original gallery instead of creating a duplicate, what is the point of creating a duplicate anyway? Is it a new wiki policy I haven't heard about?
[[User:Hstar|Hstar]]

== Apologies ==
My deepest apologies, Maurice-sama. I changed it making the title matches to the opening title of DCTP's work. My apologies.

I'm sorry. Forget what I said. Please choose whatever you want.

== Episode Captions ==

Just so I know when creating Episode Galleries - should I bother with captions? Only people don't really read them because they're so long - I'm not saying remove the captions form previous galleries but I'm saying from now onwards should I stop captioning? [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 16:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Unless I compromise and just do one sentence captions so people keep interest and know what's going on without having to read lots? [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 16:48, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

== Ref Links (Manga, MK Chapters, etc.) ==
Hey Maurice! I'm attempting to make more templates similar to the ref anime template. I've started by trying to make one for manga files, but the results are a bit sloppy. I've tested the template here: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case#Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion]]. As you see, the resulting link on the page looks kinda sloppy. I would like for the template to work so that it just lists "Manga File (number): (name of the file)". I don't know how to get the template to only display the titles of the files without having to list the full proper link. (Since unlike episodes the Files do not have their own individual pages.) Could you help me solve this little problem? :) Once this problem is solved I can create one for Magic Kaito chapters as well following your example. Thanks! --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 23:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
: Ah, good point. Nevermind then! Seemed like a good idea in my head at the time. xD;; --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 04:39, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

== Request ==
Maurice-sama, please delete this article, [[The Ryoma Treasure Battle Between Conan and Kid (Part 1)]]. There's already an episode article about Ryoma. Thank you. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 18:05, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
:Nevermind, Chekov got it.

== Style Questions ==

I just have a few quick style/formatting questions:
* For anime episodes, should the manga reference be a line formatted as
#[[Volume 6|Volume 6: File 9]]~[[Volume 7|Volume 7: File 1]]
#[[Volume 71|Volume 71: Files 3-11 (743-751)]] [[Volume 72|Volume 72: File 1 (752)]]?
* The MoS prefers the spoilered conclusion of a case to include Evidence, Resolution, and Motive. These are a bullet list in the MoS, but I hope in the actual boxes those three can be used as headers, with paragraphs, bullets or numbered points beneath them.
* What is the preference for a blank background vs non-blank background, and 100px vs 225px for characters on the Notable Case and Minor Recurring character pages?
* When linking to an event, is it better to link to an episode, the manga file, or both? I've been erring on both for the minor recurring characters, for the moment.
* Episodes use screenshots for illustration - if event is the exact same in the manga, could an anime shot be used for illustration in the manga summaries (color tends to feel more natural and less stark), or would it be better to use a manga screenshot?

Thanks! --[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 05:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for such detailed answers! --[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 22:24, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

== Debt Collector ==

Debt Collector1.jpg and Debt Collector2.jpg link to two Episodes but I thought the two Debt Collecting Men were only in the Mysterious Pond Episode. Perhaps someone hadn't realised the names had already been used because I doubt that two minor characters would appear in more than one episode - but maybe I'm wrong. Let me know your reply :) [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 20:16, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

== Manga "People" equivalent ==

I've been experimenting in Volume 1 with a table that has small screenshots (by necessity, due to picture limitations) of the victims and suspects of a given case, just to have faces to put with the names. If you think it could be viable, is there a way to template it for ease of use? Coding is my weak point, even something as simple as giving the top cells of a table the standard blue color. Thanks. --[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 08:34, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
: I'd originally thought the People template might be bulky, but it seems to work well. If you'd like to remove or delete the non-MoS pictures I can upload new ones, otherwise I'll just leave them as-is and use the MoS way for all subsequent screenshots. 100x100 should be okay for most characters, at least with good quality scans, so I'll do that. Thanks and Happy Holidays. :) --[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 04:08, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
::I happen to prefer the larger pictures, if only because it is friendlier for people with vision impairments to be able to see a larger version of the image by clicking. I was talking with Skyechan about this earlier concerning episode pictures. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 05:54, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
::: If that's the case, I could also make the pictures whatever resolution they are on the page. The uniformity when clicked would be gone, but there could be bigger size than the 100x100 pictures of the People template for many characters. Not all, but a fair amount. --[[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] 09:22, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

#Jewel Name (Eg. "Blue Birthday")
#Description of Jewel ("India's largest sapphire")
#Episode/chapter ("[[The Fated Blue Birthday]]")
#Details ("Blue Birthday was targeted while it was on tour at the Indian Treasure Exhibit. As the Organization anticipated, Kaito Kid stole the jewel first. Snake, leading a team of underlings, confronted Kid and grabbed his replica of Blue Birthday by mistake. Kaito Kid revealed the jewel was not Pandora by holding it to the moonlight.")</s>

File:EP468_Gallery_2.jpg|When they get there they find the pond is off limits as there's a snapping turtle in the pond. The group chat about it and Mitsuhiko tells the group about it from a book.
File:EP468_Gallery_3.jpg|Having a non-native animal could disrupt their ecosystem. Conan notices a woman listening in to their conversation so he says to go to the pet shop that the owner would go to. He says they must have bought a lot of small fish to make turtle food.

File:EP468_Gallery_5.jpg|Then all of a sudden a man claims the turtle to be his! His name is Nihonmatsu. The group confront him.
File:EP468_Gallery_6.jpg|He claims he was trying to make up for a mistake he regretted. When he was little he bought a green turtle but then he couldn't be bothered to look after it so he released it into a nearby pond.
File:EP468_Gallery_7.jpg|Then there is news back at the pond where three other turtles have been found! Nihonmatsu asks for all of them saying they must've been mating and it would be cruel to seperate them.

File:EP468_Gallery_10.jpg|Conan and Mitsuhiko discover Nihonmatsu has a lot of debt in addition to all of the rent he owes. He's a pretty bothersome tenant and has made no unusual purchases of turtle food. They realise he's not intending to sell the turtles because it wouldn't cover his issue.
File:EP468_Gallery_11.jpg|Conan and the group follow Nihonmatsu to a shop. They see him sighing and guess that he really only wanted one of the four snapping turtles specifically. But they got mixed up, and he can't tell them apart. It'd be better just to take them all back. There must be something special about one of those turtles. Conan then follows Nihonmatsu meeting two debt collectors. He says he has the 1 million yen. Conan realises that somehow, when Nihonmatsu gets that turtle, he can pay off his debts...
File:EP468_Gallery_12.jpg|Conan finds the burnt remains of the mask and gloves that Detective Takagi was talking about this morning. Ayumi runs off to fetch Takagi.
File:EP468_Gallery_13.jpg|It proves that the thief escaped to here after stealing the 3 million yen from that house. So the stuff he used last night was also disposed of here. So it's possible that last night's burglary, and Nihonmatsu wanting to find the snapping turtle in the pond are related.
File:EP468_Gallery_14.jpg|The group report their evidence to Detective Takagi: Nihonmatsu is tall and skinny, said "I'll definately pay off all my debts today and there's a bandage around his finger, so he either burnt his finger or got bitten by the turtle.
File:EP468_Gallery_15.jpg|But if that guy's the culprit and he already got the 3 million yen, why can't he pay off his debt? Meanwhile all four turtles have been caught. So Conan asks about the person who told them to capture them? The men say it was a young male on the phone. Conan can't put his finger on it.
File:EP468_Gallery_16.jpg|Conan, Takagi and the rest of the group decide to research the turtles. Meanwhile Nihonmatsu is told he is not allowed to raise the turtles because there is paperwork that needs to be dealt with, so he'll have to wait a week. Conan and the group wait outside Nihonmatsu's location.
File:EP468_Gallery_17.jpg|Nihonmatsu then runs off to his locker. He trys to put the coin in but it won't go in. Conan is one step ahead of him. "You wanted to pay a one-week rental fee. If you leave it there for more than three days, management will confiscate the contents inside. The coin locker was made so that, without a ket, you can't open it." Takagi and the police then open the locker with the key and find the 3 million yen!
File:EP468_Gallery_18.jpg|Because he was in debt, he stole 3 million yen from Fukurokouji last night. But once he put the money in the coin locker he failed - He burned the mask and gloves that way he'd only need to retrieve the money one dawn broke - but unexpectedly whilst he was burning the evidence a snapping turtle swallowed his key! (During the process he gets bitten) That's where his plan failed!
File:EP468_Gallery_19.jpg|The research the group did was actually an X-Ray of the turtle proving the key is inside. Then Conan continues to say he ran city hall so they'd capture it and that he could retrieve it from the stomach.
File:EP468_Gallery_20.jpg|Nihonmatsu makes a run for it but Conan uses the combination of his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and [[Anywhere Ball Dispensing Belt]] to cause Nihonmatsu to stumble and fall. Takagi and his assistant catch up to him and arrest him.

Mysterious Case Near the Pond/Gallery

This is a gallery for the Episode [[Mysterious Case Near the Pond]]

<gallery perrow=5>
File:EP468_Gallery_1.jpg|[[Conan]], [[Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Genta]] and [[Ai]] are running along when they see [[Wataru Takagi]] he says there's a case at Fukurokouji's house. He was robbed of about 3 million yen in cash. The children decide not to interupt and head off to Central Park.
File:EP468_Gallery_2.jpg|When they get there they find the pond is off limits as there's a snapping turtle in the pond. The group chat about it and Mitsuhiko tells the group about it from a book.
File:EP468_Gallery_3.jpg|Having a non-native animal could disrupt their ecosystem. Conan notices a woman listening in to their conversation so he says to go to the pet shop that the owner would go to. He says they must have bought a lot of small fish to make turtle food.
File:EP468_Gallery_4.jpg|Conan finds the woman as she starts running after what she said. He confronts her and says she's the one who abandoned the turtle. She explains that she found a boyfriend but he didn't like it. Mitsuhiko annoys Ai (accidently) and she leaves to do some stuff on her own.
File:EP468_Gallery_5.jpg|Then all of a sudden a man claims the turtle to be his! His name is Nihonmatsu. The group confront him.
File:EP468_Gallery_6.jpg|He claims he was trying to make up for a mistake he regretted. When he was little he bought a green turtle but then he couldn't be bothered to look after it so he released it into a nearby pond.
File:EP468_Gallery_7.jpg|Then there is news back at the pond where three other turtles have been found! Nihonmatsu asks for all of them saying they must've been mating and it would be cruel to seperate them.
File:EP468_Gallery_8.jpg|Mitsuhiko notices Nihonmatsu's finger is bandaged but before he can fully explain, the crowd applaud as the security say they've caught one!
File:EP468_Gallery_9.jpg|Conan and the group discuss that Nihonmatsu is lying. He mistold a fact about the snapping turtle - also he spoke angrily about the turtles once.
File:EP468_Gallery_10.jpg|Conan and Mitsuhiko discover Nihonmatsu has a lot of debt in addition to all of the rent he owes. He's a pretty bothersome tenant and has made no unusual purchases of turtle food. They realise he's not intending to sell the turtles because it wouldn't cover his issue.
File:EP468_Gallery_11.jpg|Conan and the group follow Nihonmatsu to a shop. They see him sighing and guess that he really only wanted one of the four snapping turtles specifically. But they got mixed up, and he can't tell them apart. It'd be better just to take them all back. There must be something special about one of those turtles. Conan then follows Nihonmatsu meeting two debt collectors. He says he has the 1 million yen. Conan realises that somehow, when Nihonmatsu gets that turtle, he can pay off his debts...
File:EP468_Gallery_12.jpg|Conan finds the burnt remains of the mask and gloves that Detective Takagi was talking about this morning. Ayumi runs off to fetch Takagi.
File:EP468_Gallery_13.jpg|It proves that the thief escaped to here after stealing the 3 million yen from that house. So the stuff he used last night was also disposed of here. So it's possible that last night's burglary, and Nihonmatsu wanting to find the snapping turtle in the pond are related.
File:EP468_Gallery_14.jpg|The group report their evidence to Detective Takagi: Nihonmatsu is tall and skinny, said "I'll definately pay off all my debts today and there's a bandage around his finger, so he either burnt his finger or got bitten by the turtle.
File:EP468_Gallery_15.jpg|But if that guy's the culprit and he already got the 3 million yen, why can't he pay off his debt? Meanwhile all four turtles have been caught. So Conan asks about the person who told them to capture them? The men say it was a young male on the phone. Conan can't put his finger on it.
File:EP468_Gallery_16.jpg|Conan, Takagi and the rest of the group decide to research the turtles. Meanwhile Nihonmatsu is told he is not allowed to raise the turtles because there is paperwork that needs to be dealt with, so he'll have to wait a week. Conan and the group wait outside Nihonmatsu's location.
File:EP468_Gallery_17.jpg|Nihonmatsu then runs off to his locker. He trys to put the coin in but it won't go in. Conan is one step ahead of him. "You wanted to pay a one-week rental fee. If you leave it there for more than three days, management will confiscate the contents inside. The coin locker was made so that, without a ket, you can't open it." Takagi and the police then open the locker with the key and find the 3 million yen!

{{Wiki Medal|image = Ginzo_Nakamori.jpg|title = Wiki Medal of the Hard Worker|message = For your tireless efforts in updating and contributing to the wiki in a caring way. Even though we've had disagreements about specific topics, your dedication and motivation make you a real example of an hard working contributor. Thank you and keep it up! - [[User:Maurice|Maurice]] 02:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)}}

== Serious? ==
When you said "Good job uploading" on [[Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!!|'''this''']] article during your previous edit, were you being serious or sarcastic? If you were serious, thank you. Online communication can be tough sometimes, so I wanted to check first before jumping to conclusions. Thanks. --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 04:03, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
::Just making sure you weren't being sarcastic. I had noticed you moved the People section characters to the Cast section, so I wasn't sure if maybe I placed them incorrectly and upset you. Not all Wikipedia and Wikia users are "friendly" I guess you could say, so I didn't want to jump to conclusions in case you were just being friendly (which you were). Sorry about that. Sometimes it's hard to communicate online I guess. lol And thank you again for your kind words. I appreciate it. :) --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 04:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
== Agreement ==
Yeah you're right, huh? So can you delete them?
I agree on Sato's picture-I'll stop reverting them-but a new look may be better once in a while, I think. Thank you! -Formmy

== Problem ==
We got a problem. This user Daniel46 is creating a character profile of the principal of Teitan elementary school. You got to do something. It's regular people character.

== RE: Question ==
Yes i'm sure. They are in the episode preview. --[[User:Viva cmpunker|Viva cmpunker]] 2:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

== Re: Hiroshi Agasa's name in different articles ==
I'm not exactly the ultimate authority on the matter, but my opinion is that for the cast of characters on the episodes/manga chapters we should use the terms most often associated with the character. Obviously not something like "Conan-kun" instead of "Conan Edogawa", but for characters like Hiroshi Agasa and Juzo Megure refer to them as the other characters do more frequently: Professor Agasa and Inspector Megure. We're not used to hearing their first names in use by others, so this makes more sense. In short to answer your question, "Professor Agasa" since "professor" was the term used in the original Japanese. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 00:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
: I ''really'' think Professor Agasa makes more sense. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 00:27, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

== Clearlefts ==

As a heads up, it's better to leave the picture right justified and put the clearleft at the end of the paragraph. You don't make massive spaces between the text that way. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 20:50, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
:[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Holmes'_Revelation&oldid=42007 Something like this usually looks good.] Just use whatever way works as long as there aren't large gaps if possible. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 20:59, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
::You can also experiment around with the <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki> function as well which puts enough space across the page so every picture "stays" with its individual paragraph. Like clearleft it goes at the end of a section. "Clear" has been used on pages like recurring minor characters to make sure each character's picture stays across from the title. Maybe clear would work better here? [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 21:06, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

== RE: Anime episode guide ==

Hmmm. Well, as far as I can tell, Wikipedia is correct. The DVD 19-10 includes episodes 602, 603, 604, and 605, meaning that Season 20 officially starts at episode 606, unless a DVD 19-11 is released at a later date. This isn't my expertise however, so don't take my word for it. Skyechan could probably give you a more definitive answer, as she purchases the DVDs (whereas I do not). --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 02:38, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

== RE: Favor ==

It's done. Just add the parameters: nolink-father=true and/or nolink-mother=true to remove links for each or both parents. --[[User:Maurice|Maurice]] [[User talk:Maurice|talk]] 13:56, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
== Changing picture ==
Hey, can you change the 100px pictures of Akako Koizumi, Chikage Kuroba, Aoko Nakamori, Ginzo Nakamori into color backgrounds. Please.

== Placement of Info Boxes ==

The Info Boxes are effectively summaries to the whole episode. Stylistically, they should therefore be placed in an introductionary position, i.e. at the BEGINNING of a plot decription. It's no good splitting up the main text with them just because your predecessors thought that this looked "cooler" instead of stylistically acceptable, especially in a quasi-encyclopedic site.

Or, if I may ask, do you set any introductionary summaries right into the middle of your own written texts? Like in this (admittedly abstract) example of a job application letter:

*"I am 24 years old, and I have a bachelor degree in chemistry. "'''Application request for a full-time job in your company''' "I have also had internships and gathered practical experience and blah blah blah ..."

Frankly: Would you send off a letter of application away like ''that''?

Please consider that before you attempt to maintain (if I may express it thus) the continuous stylistic havoc on this site. I intend to correct these misplacements as fast as I can spend time on them, but with the multitude of entries, it will take a while, so please bear with me.

Sincerely yours, [[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 22:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:Still I think this is the wrong style. I mean, it's like placing the headline of a newspaper article into the middle of the main text. I guess any newspaper editor would be so thrilled at this innovation. Should I try to contact them and confer their answers to Maurice for reference, what do you think? Sincerely yours,[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 05:58, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

== Class 1-B ==

Next time, I'd appreciate a heads up before you mainspaced a project I had been working on. It's only polite. If you just wanted to edit it, you could have edited the sub-page - I explicitly have given permission to do that. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 06:04, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for adding in the missing cases btw. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 00:34, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

== Racing ==

While adding new information is definitely a good thing to do, remember that quality is better than quantity. I've seen more than 20 edits from you in less than 10 minutes, each adding nothing more than TV Original to an episode's infobox. I'm not sure if you think this is a race or a contest or something, or if you just want to accumulate a lot of edits, but taking it slowly and actually adding more information than one simple copy and paste is better in the long run. I only say this because I noticed that you started making these swarms of edits after I started updating episodes myself. Try adding things like Opening songs, Closing songs, English titles (if applicable), Suspects, Next Conan's Hint, etc when you make such edits. Of course, there's no rule against what you are doing, but it's just kind of irritating to see the the Recent Updates page spammed with multiple minor edits that I can't hide when viewing... --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 01:15, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

::Oh I know you are just trying to help. And it's greatly appreciated. Edits keep this Wikia updated. It's just hard to sort through non-related edits when the Recent changes page is swarmed by a lot of identical edits all at once. When I do that sort of thing (i.e. Sorting multiple images into categories), I click the "This is a minor edit" box in order to allow people the option of hiding my edits with the click of a button. If you plan on continuing these repeated copy-and-paste +42 edits that you've been doing, it would be super helpful if you'd click the previously mentioned box so that I can sort through other edits. Of course, if you add more information than just the +42 "TV Original" edits, you don't have to click the box. Just use your best judgment I suppose. Again, this isn't a rule or requirement; just my personal preference. --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 01:29, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

== No Problem ==

It was an easy mistake, and you meant well, you did what anybody else would do. Plus you've learned from the mistake anyway. You were only trying to help :) Speaking of that Gallery I'm going to try and finish it today!!

== Bad Manners ==

You do realize that it is incredibly bad manners to plug a vote on other people's pages, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Canvassing Encourage them to vote, but don't tell them how. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 17:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
:Realize something I said was a bit ambiguous. I'm referring to user pages, not the main article talk. You can put you opinion there all you want. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 20:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

== Amuro ==

Considering the very heavy speculation that he is Bourbon, and that in 795 he starts working at Poirot and becomes Kogoro's apprentice, all signs point to Amuro being an important character. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 22:44, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
:I would add him. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 22:53, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

== Jigsaw ==

The reason why Jigsaw has asked you to wait until he finishes is because you are giving him the edit conflict notice. These happen when someone else edits while you are. When you get them it is confusing to figure out what was changed and it is really easy to accidentally undo the changes someone else just made. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 17:30, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

::Chekhov summed things up pretty well. Fixing up this article has been one of my side projects, slowly gaining momentum over the past few weeks. You made several good edits and fixed some mistakes I made, both of which are appreciated, but for the time being, I'd like to work without the edit conflicts. After I'm all done, you can edit to your hearts content. Thank you for your hard work and dedication! I'll let you know when I'm all done. :) --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 17:46, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

::::Not done yet. I just didn't want to leave you hanging so I opened a new window and commented on your Talk page. Like I said before, I'll let you know when I'm done. --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 17:50, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

::::::Although it is not finished yet, I have to leave the article as it is for the time being. I'm hoping to finish up my edits either tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime, however, feel free to edit and fix the article. Thank you for being patient. :) --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 19:19, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Please don't put bullet points in the Name Origin section. They aren't lists. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 23:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

== Mistake! ==
Please ignore previous questions; misread history information. Sorry about that! :) --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 04:29, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

== Re: Wait ==
If you'd read carefully through the discussion you'd figure out what I'm doing. Midori does NOT need a profile page, she's listed on Minor recurring characters. I'm in the process of removing unnecessary profile pages and editing the character list. All information about characters whose profile pages are being deleted are simply being moved to the list pages. Another list is in progress on my profile page at the moment that will eventually become the Notable case characters list. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 19:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
: Those characters should be linked to their names in the Notable cases or Minor recurring lists. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 19:19, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

== Image of Sonoko ==
Sorry :(

== ... ==
Ok, thanks. If I upload the image with the name 'Sonoko Suzuki Profile' I can't see the image.

== Debt Collectors ==

I knew someone would resize them for me if I uploaded them like that. I didn't have the photo editing tools to resize it. I knew they had to be a certain size - otherwise why would I have previously uploaded pictures for Kimata and Nihonmatsu that met the requirements? :) Don't worry, I'm not as much of a beginner as you may think :) [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 20:36, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Maurice-sama, can you try to contact Shogakukan at info@shogakukan.co.jp? I try to ask them a question of that they can contact the authors like Gosho Aoyama. But they won't respond to me. I was thinking maybe it was the tsunami problem. There's also another thing that I just don't get it. If the Detective Conan manga always get published at Shogakukan. Why don't they ever respond to my question? Of course I send them a message by using Japanese language and English message (just in case) but why won't they ever respond to me? So you know I was kind of asking you a favor. Can you try to contact Shogakukan at info@shogakukan.co.jp? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 04:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

== One page or multipage case? ==

What do you do for pages when you have a single case that takes up multiple episodes, but doesn't follow the 'Episode name part 1/2" naming format? Specifically I am referring to [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen]]. It started as multiple pages, one for each episode, [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=The_Crisis_Beckoned_by_the_Red_Omen&oldid=28473|then was collapsed into one page for all the episodes] like the usual 'Episode name part 1/2" cases are, then it has since been expanded back into one page per episode. What is proper here? [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 02:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
:That's what I thought, but I didn't want to get into a revert war with S261157 without being sure I was doing the right thing. "Tomorrow is there" is the manga chapter name for the entire suicidal guy case which became 2/3rds of the first episode of that series. "Thirteen red shirts" I made up; not the best idea, but I figured it was descriptive. I could go with "Hint of Red and Thirteen" which was a manga chapter name for the thirteen red shirts case.

It's my turn to ask you and please can you do it? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 21:22, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

== Need third opinion ==

There is a minor edit war going on Vermouth in the non-aging section. You can follow my series of responses on the [[Talk:Vermouth|Vermouth article talk]] page, since the user replaced their talk page with "If you're not going to read my posts and ignore details, like the fact that an additional adjective is necessary, completely ignore the presented reasoning, and cast your unsubstantiated reasoning as a fact, then I'm just going to allow the talk page to stand like this and eradicate all speculations from the site. If you undo that, then congratulations, you've made me not able to trust a word this wiki has to say."

My rose tinted view of the argument are that basically I asked Wildcardmma to back up his/her statement that Vermouth has shown suicidal tendencies with references without success. (Note that I didn't remove said suicidal line from the article while the argument was in progress.) Without references, I suggested a compromise that avoided the word suicidal without effectively changing the content or meaning of the line: "However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series, both as a role she plays and as herself, it is possible she took the drug hoping to die, but was made younger like Haibara". it seems Wildcardmma was not pleased with this suggestion. 
Also there was a disagreement about what the Black Org was doing by using APTX 4869 on people. Wildcardmma said field testing, I said murder weapon only (and provided multiple quotes to this effect). It really didn't matter to the content of the article as far as I can tell, but may have fueled her perception I was trying to force my own way, or something like that. 
In the middle of all this, an IP came through and deleted the section because it contained speculation. (Edit summary: Wikis are supposed to be about facts. That paragraph was a statistical analysis and conclusion that may not be right, which led to the addition of possibilities by certain user(s).) I reverted because there is no policy against speculation (assuming it is informed and referenced), and because speculation sections (with competing ideas) are widespread across virtually all plot and plot character articles. 
Basically, I think I have handled this as best as I can, but I hoping to get your opinion on this, and suggestions on what to do with speculation sections. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 19:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

== Suzuki Sonoko ==

The IP who changed that just now is a long term vandal who vandalized Eisuke once, but since then adds random characters to various episode cast lists. He's a low frequency vandal (less than once a week) who generally only makes a small number of bad edits at a time. I've never seen anything productive out of him. The IPs used so far are
*180.190.163.16 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)
*180.190.173.208 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)
*180.190.185.97 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)

== Changing names of the image ==

Maurice-sama, I have a question for you. How do you change the name of the image? How? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 20:20, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
:And how do you delete the image?

== Permission ==

Thank you anyway. And here's I really want to ask you. Can I move "Kaitou Kid" into "Kaito Kid"? Reason: The title is Magic Kaito so it's supposed to be "Kaito". --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 20:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
:Um hello...........I'm asking you for permission.

=== Thank You! ===
Thank you for cleaning up the Gallery Page I created, I was going to leave it and find an admin to clean it and you saved a lot of time, so thank you. I apologise if the pictures aren't very good quality. I just noticed that there aren't any DC Websites (that I could find) with Episode Galleries, this is a good website so I wanted it to be the first so I started uploading pictures. I need to get to grips with this website - I'm an Admin on the Pokemon Wiki you see. If there are any problems I'm guessing I can come to you for help! [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:23, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay so should I just take this Episode as a one off and add 30 relevant pictures (that way my hard work isn't put to waste) and then on Episode two (and all the other Episodes) have only thirty like you said? Or should I delete all the Episode 1 pictures and start off fresh with just minute by minute pictures with a maximum of thirty? [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I've removed some irrelevant pictures for more space. If I end up having over 30 when I finish I'll try and delete as many as possible. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:49, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

The Gallery's complete - 30 Images exactly. Feel free to make any adjustments and give me constructive criticism. Change the captions if you like. I'll move on to Episode 2 the day after tomorrow. I won't always be able to work this fast as I have school 5 days a week, but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying! [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 20:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I have no idea why the jpg is in capitals, if I figure out how to stop it I'll try but for the moment I'm clueless. I'll move on to Episode 2 and use your advice (I was going to change the first frames but I think I'll leave it and try to do it minute by minute on Episode 2 instead of frame by frame).

== [[:File:Detective_1.jpg|File Sherlock Holmes]] ==

Hello Maurice, im rikku, a user from the german dcw. id like to ask, whether we can use the file named above in the german wiki as well. as [[USer:Philipp S.|philipp s.]] has told me, the german manga volume #1 doesnt provide aoyamas drawing for the detective picture book. certainly, there will be some kind of acknowledgment. yours, [[User:Rikku|Rikku]] 18:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

==Interwiki links==
Hello again. a few month ago we started connecting the articles from both of the german and this english dcw. after we had some difficulties in the beginning of 2011 we finally could add a lot of the interwiki links to your wiki until now. im planning to check (and fix) the links regularly with my [[de:Benutzer:RikkusBot|bot]] as well. id like to offer my help, adding interwiki links to the german wiki in your wiki, since the bot is checking back links anyway.
# i can publish the warning list somewhere here in the wiki, so you can add the correct interwiki links manually, or
# if it is ok for you, i can ask my bot add missing back links directly.
please let me know, what you think about this. yours, [[User:Rikku|Rikku]] 18:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

:Hello Maurice. thanks a lot for your friendly reply. i havent added any interwiki links until now, since i have some problem to connect via api. i hope i can fix this soon. im very sorry i couldnt be much help until now. [[User:Rikku|Rikku]] 20:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed you improved my captions on Episode 1's gallery, could I keep telling you when I finish a gallery? And then you change the captions? Only your captions are better than mine. Or to make it even quicker for me to upload, would you like me to upload them and you caption them?

== Introduction, Question, and Suggestion ==

Hello there Maurice. I've been a member of this wiki for a good while now, mostly as a reader, but I have recently become more active around the site. Seeing as how I've pretty much spammed the Recent changes page a few times, I figured I should just introduce myself and thank you for running such an awesome wiki! Believe me, I've seen some pretty awful ones, so it's nice to see someone so dedicated!

Anyways, I have a question for you since I am posting here. Could you take a look at [[Template:Movies|this]] template I made and see if it's alright? I mostly copied and pasted from pre existing navigational boxes, and I think it works as it is right now, but the font looks kind of funky, and I'm not sure if I have the coding right following my edits. I did intend to center the movie titles and keep them all in one box/row, however, which is why I am slightly concerned. Since none of the other templates I could find on the site used the format I was looking for, I had to improvise to the best of my ability. Sooooo, yeah. Haha. Thanks!

Lastly, I have a request. Or rather a suggestion. I absolutely LOVE the whole plot legend system you have going for the manga, and the symbols you added look great (particularly the one for the Black Organization). When I looked up the B.O. icon, it said you were the author of the image, so I thought it best that I ask you this: Could you make an icon representing Kaitou Kid related chapters? Perhaps you can model it off of the B.O. one I keep mentioning. Just a suggestion/request. Either way, you did a nice job setting the whole system up! Visuals and organization are what keep me coming back to informational sites such as this one after all. :P

Thank you for your time and good job again on running this site! :D Hope to hear back from you soon!

== Kaito Kid ==
This is 69.150.185.236, Oh Oh Oh! On Plot system, make Kaito Kid's drawing as a symbol just like he put on those letters!
== Help ==
This is 69.150.185.236, I have a problem, I can't put Kaito Kid symbols in OVA plots. I try preview but it's not showing Kaito Kid's symbol.

== Confusing ==
This is 69.150.185.236, this is confusing. On [[Chinatown Deja Vu in the Rain]], I'm not so sure that Hama is last name. I just put Hama Mike. Confusing when there's English and Japanese together. Is it Mike Hama or just Hama Mike?

== Watch Section ==

Do you think we should have a watch section for Episodes? I'll do an example on Episode 1, have a look and then tell me your thoughts - if it's a bad idea I'll remove the section immediatly. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:16, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

== A Few Things ==

I'm still figuring out how to properly respond to comments left on Talk pages, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. As for this oddly formatted response, I'm pretty much OCD about everything looking nice, so this is my attempt at fitting everything in with one edit and still being organizaed. So, anyways, here we go...

=== RE: RE: Introduction, Question, and Suggestion ===

Thank you for your kind words about my kind words! lol I'm glad to hear comments such as my previous help motivate and encourage. I really do appreciate all of the hard work that this entire community put into the site. Detective Conan is an amazing series that I believe goes unappreciated at times. Communities and projects such as this Wiki really help spread word of the series and how dedicated the fans are! Kudos to you for starting this great site, and to everyone for maintaining it! I'll be sure to continue contributing because, just like yourself, I have enjoyed myself thus far! Thanks again! Oh, and the Kaito Kid symbol looks great! I've already seen it being integrated and it seems to be working out well! Thanks for listening to my request!

=== RE: Juzo Megure Appearances ===

Thank you again for your kind words! As for Wiki experience, I do have some. A few years back I contributed to Wikipedia frequently, but all the vandalism, rules, and arguing just took the fun out of it. It's been a few years since then, so I've gotten a little rusty, but I'm starting to get back into the hang of it. Smaller communities such as this seem to be more dedicated and enjoyable anyways, not to mention far less confrontational. Sure thing! You can count on me! :)

=== FBI Template ===

In my attempt to better organize and group together various articles, I decided to try and make a template for the FBI. Unfortuneatly, I can't quite decide on how the template should be organized. I've listed two of my different concepts below for you to visualize. Particularly with the second template, I used coding from other tables on the site to help me format. I'm not sure about what order the names should be listed in, or what color scheme should be used for the table overall, but I think those are pretty easy edits. If you could take a look at the two templates below and tell or show me what you think in terms of coding, organization, and edits needed for the final product, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

====Template 1====

For the first template, I tried to integrate the FBI ensignia within the formatting. Perhaps the coding can be tweaked or image shifted to the right, but I think the template came out looking pretty nice. There aren't many articles at this point concerning the FBI for me to use in the template, so I simply listed all current agents on one row. The names are all to the right of the ensignia, centered with the remaining empty space. For the sake of information, I added Scar Akai next to Shuichi as his true identity has yet to be revealed. That can be reworked or removed entirely.

{|style="clear: both; background-color:#FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #a6a6a6; width:50%; margin: 8px auto 0px;" class="bonav collapsible"
|-
! colspan="2" align="center" style="background-color:#738FC3; font-size:95%; padding: 1px 5px 1px 8px;" | <div class="noprint plainlinks navbar" style="float: left; width:6em; text-align:left; font-weight: normal; font-size: xx-small; color: #ffffff;">[[:Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation|v]] • [[:Template_talk:Federal Bureau of Investigation|d]] • [{{fullurl:Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation|action=edit}}e]</div> '''[[Federal Bureau of Investigation|Federal Bureau of Investigation]]'''
|-
| [[File:FBI logo.png|100px]]
| align="center" | [[James Black]] • [[Jodie Starling]] • [[Shuichi Akai]] ( [[Scar Akai]] ) • [[Andre Camel]]
|}

====Template 2====

The second template I created simply follows the formatting used [[Template:Black Organization|here]] and [[Template:Detective Boys|here]]. Again, with so little information to go off of, I could only things into two rows: 'Active Agents' and 'Deceased Agents'. If consistence is important, this template is probably the better one to choose. On the 'Deceased Agents' row, I listed Akai Shuichi and Scar Akai, as his death is still up for debate. I would put Jodie's father here as well, but his name is unknown and he has never actually appeared to my knowledge. Anyways, height, width, and overall perimeters can be adjusted if need be, and again, some coding may need to be worked on. I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of Wiki format.

== Video File=Media File? ==

Is it possible to upload videos to this website? I know you can upload Media Files so would a video count? It's a video of Episode 1 with subtitles. I was thinking maybe if I did Episode Galleries and videos that would be even better for articles. Also maybe we could adapt the watch section of this wiki (I know it's broken atm) and link it! Also that means that if school ever stops me from taking the time to create galleries I can still upload videos! Let me know your thoughts!
[[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 16:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Or I could re-link the watch section to valid links - it's a huge task but I'm up for it!

== From IP 109.235.49.143 ==

Chekhov MaccGuffin

http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Talk:Vermouth#Confusing

Over the course of this page, I find that Chekhov has been less than considerate of other users' theories, and has said that a wiki is meant for just such behavior. I find it hard to believe that someone like this would be made moderator. He even went so far as to repeatedly ignore what I and two other users wrote when making his points. As another IP said, such behavior and a position of power casts serious doubt on anything posted on this wiki. I understand there's going to be debate, but that's not what he's after; this behavior is more akin to single-mindedness. I also found that he chased a certain user away, and evidently the other IP is not returning. And to be fair, I'm also not returning either once this situation is over. Clean up you moderator's behavior towards other users, or I'm going over your head.

==Foreign thing help!==
Right, so I when I started to add them to the Character pages such as [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Conan Edogawa|Conan's]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko's]], I realized I might need to make a Template, so eventually I made the [[Template:CharLang|Template]] but I want to as you a question:
How do you make it so that the languages only appear if you type.
Example if you write only the Korean one so
<pre>
{{CharLang
|korean-name = 코난 Konan
|korean-surname = n/a
}}
</pre>
Which becomes:
{{CharLang
|korean-name = 코난 Konan
|korean-surname = n/a
}}
How do you get rid of the Other Languages???
Can you please put the code for it to work. Becuase it kinda does for the [[Template:InfoBox Char|Character Table Template]]
Can you please reply once you fixed the problem.

== Heads up on Vermouth issue ==

I've been dealing with, or trying to deal with, an IP over the issue of Vermouth's aging issue speculation section. There are a few IPs involved tracing to different locations but I am pretty sure they are the same user because on a wiki that gets maybe 50-100 edits a day total, and most IP edits to case pages, we have two separate IPs with the exact same viewpoints and editing style and one suddenly comes to the other's defense without any other editing elsewhere when you can have weeks between substantial IP edits in any character pages. You can read the discussion on [[talk:Vermouth]], but to summarize, the issue has primarily been over references and interpretations of references. This user has not taken kindly to the fact that I have challenged various edits of theirs and undid some of their changes after I categorically referenced the statements the IP removed with difficult-to-dispute references. There is also a lot on nitpicking over words and phrasing and stuff. The user has deleted the speculation section twice and I've reverted. I've kept reasonably civil and focused on the article despite various accusations the IP has made. A third person view would be nice.

== Character List Images ==
I know that there's a way to change what name is displayed in the character list using something like Char|Shinichi Kudo|display=Shinichi; is there a way to do something similar to change what image appears for the character? I think it'd be neat to be able to use live action images of the characters for the drama episode pages like here: [[Drama Episode 1]].

== 69.148.232.113 ==

Can you please talk to this user for me? I assume it is the same person that the site has had problems with in the past. I've been working on a project for the wikia offline quite a bit recently, but my recent unrelated edits (not related to images) have been reverted and deleted and vandalized consistently by this person. While I realize that a Wikia is a community working together for a joint-purpose, some of his edits and comments are just unnecessary and immature. If this is the same person that people have complained about in the past, then I don't think it would be wise for me to confront him. [[Special:Contributions/69.148.232.113]] This recent edit comment "(→People: OMG, Jigsaw. She has a name. What is wrong with you!!!)" really bothered me. Perhaps I am taking this too personally, but I don't appreciate spending the time I do on here just to get attitude and have my contributions criticized. --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 21:11, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

It'd be great for the "World" part of our name to become a reality and connect many different DC fans around the globe through our wikis.

== Better or Worse ==

When your editing a cast section of an episode, is it better to set it out like this:
<pre>
{{Char Appearances|
{{Char|Conan Edogawa}}
{{Char|Kogoro Mouri}}
{{Char|Ran Mouri}}
{{Char|Hiroshi Agasa|display=Dr. Agasa}}
{{Char|Ayumi Yoshida}}
{{Char|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
{{Char|Genta Kojima}}
{{Char|Inspector Megure}}
}}
</pre>

Or this?

<pre>
{{BeginBox}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Shinichi Kudo]]|image = Shinichi Kudo.jpg|link=Shinichi Kudo|description =
* 17 years old
* High school student
* Detective}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Ran Mouri]]|image = Ran Mouri.jpg|link=Ran Mouri|description =

* High school student
* Karate champion}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Kogoro Mouri]]|image = Kogoro Mouri.jpg|link=Kogoro Mouri|description =
* [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s father
* Detective}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Inspector Megure]]|image = Inspector Megure.jpg|link=Inspector Megure|description =
* Inspector from Tokyo Police district}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Ayumi Yoshida]]|image = Ayumi Yoshida.jpg|link=Ayumi Yoshida|description =

:I can answer this. The first way (Char Appearances) is proper when doing a cast list of characters who have appeared before which is the case in most episodes. Begin box is used for case suspects and other people under the people section and for new characters.

== Question ==
How would one determine whether people should be listed in the Cast box, the People section, or the Characters introduced section? My understanding was that the first appearance of an important or recurring character should be listed as such under Characters introduced. While judgment can occasionally blur here when it comes to Magic Kaito characters, what with the OVAs and a separate series of TV Specials, I think it's pretty self-explanatory. However, a recent edit [[Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!!|'''here''']] in which a user moved everyone from People to the Cast section has really gotten me confused. Was such an edit correct? If they were to be in the Cast box, I would imagine they need to have appeared before in the Detective Conan anime series, which none of them have. In most cases, I would move them to Characters introduced, but with so many people and very little significance to the series, I don't think that would be the case here. I guess, simply put, do they belong in the Cast box or the People section? I only question this because a similar situation seems to be accepted in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan|'''this''']] article. I'm probably over thinking this, but I like to get my facts straight before making judgment. Thanks! --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 03:56, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Crimeboxes ==

One of the ongoing revert wars here at DCW seems to be where a crime box is located. When you get a chance, could you add something to the MoS concerning this topic? Also, if the correct format is for a crimebox to be midtext, is there a way to wrap text around it like you would an image? Thanks! --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 23:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

== Problem ==
Maurice-sama, I have a problem. This user Daniel46 is putting crime boxes above the story. This is the best idea of putting crime boxes in the middle of the text. Like for example,
While Conan and Ran were walking, they found the dead body.
(Crime box appears)
It makes more sense. Right? Do you agree? Check out Clash of Red and Black article for example. The multiple crime boxes occur in the middle of the story makes more sense and a perfect idea of the locations of the crime boxes occur. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 21:39, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

==Concerning the current DC Style Wars==
Hi, Maurice. On the placement of the Crime Boxes, I'd like to comment that stylistically this measure is rather an eyesore. I mean, it's like placing the headline of a newspaper article into the middle of the main text. The Crime Boxes are in my opinion of an introductionary nature, giving an overwiew of the crime before the investigation begins. It's like in a real criminal case: The deed is done and discovered (as shown and summarized in the Crime Boxes), the police questions everyone, and the reconstruction of facts commences, recounting as to how the persons (in this case, Conan & Company) got involved in this case. And I'd also like to comment on the difference between the Plot Overview and the Background descriptions for '''[[Hidemi Hondou]]'''. The facts provided so far are a mere summarization of her appearances and plot contributions in the series and should be treated as generic Background information, while the Plot Overview is used for more specific details. Like, look at the '''[[Ai Haibara]]''' and '''[[Heiji Hattori]]''' entries and compare their Background accounts with the information currently set in '''Hidemi Hondou'''. Also, the Background facts are written in Past Tense, while the Plot Overviews are usually set in Present Tense. The splitting up of the currently available information for '''Hidemi Hondou''' is therefore as much as an eyesore as it is unnecessary. I am a novel reader and fledging book writer, so I can say that I have acquired a certain eye for literary style. So I ask you to reconsider the overall style in order to make this site a stylistic pleasure. Yours sincerely,[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 06:15, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

:Hi again, Maurice. Just read your mail, and regarding the Crime Boxes, I think your suggestion of setting them at the end of a section has its merits in certain points. However, one must consider that in the case of ''Detective Conan'', you '''always''' expect a criminal case to occur, and a Crime Box is in that point an announcement - or summarization - of the situation as it can be found on the crime scene. It's like the headline of a newspaper: It announces what's happened, drawing attention to the case at hand, and then follows the background (story) to that case. The police proceeds the same way with protocols, recounting what's happened up to the point of the crime, the persons the victim(s) have been in contact with, circumstances etc. For your information: There are several TV shows which demonstrate this ''modus operandi'', especially the German show '''"Aktenzeichen XY ... Ungelöst"''' ("File Sign XY ... Unsolved"). It's both a sort-of reality TV documentary as well as a licensed investigation aid for the German police to resolve difficult criminal cases. Many of these cases are reconstructed as short films, which describe the respective crime in as much detail as it is known, from the victim's background up to the date and location where the crime was committed, and sometimes the subsequent investigation. The series was (and still is) so successful that it inspired several international copies, most notably '''"America's Most Wanted."''' XY is all in German, I know, but just to peak your interest; I'd like to give you the website '''http://www.e110.de/'''; look for the keyword "'''XY-Sendung vom ...'''" to have a look into the latest epsiode to date. Several episodes are also featured on YouTube. If you've got any questions about XY - like a certain case type (murder, robbery etc.) you'd like to observe as a film (of course with a summary by my person) -, just give me the word and I'll give you a corresponding link for upload. As for '''[[Hidemi Hondou]]''', the information currently found on the chapter was originally posted by me ... in the '''Background''' section. Someone just decided to chop it up, adding little self-initiative work to 'complete' it. What I've written was solely intended for the Background and was (is) as compact as I could get it; if you look closer, you'll see that it's more general that detail, as it was intended. The same type of work I've done with '''[[Heiji Hattori]]''', and initially there were some unreasonable changes, but ever since no one has done any more crippling so far. I suggest you closely compare the '''Heiji Hattori''' Background section with what's been done in '''Hidemi Hondou''' more recently (i.e. what is listed under '''Plot Overview''' now) ... and I hope you'll agree with me. Yours sincerely,[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 18:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

== Ref Links (Manga, MK Chapters, etc.) ==
Hey Maurice! I'm attempting to make more templates similar to the ref anime template. I've started by trying to make one for manga files, but the results are a bit sloppy. I've tested the template here: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case#Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion]]. As you see, the resulting link on the page looks kinda sloppy. I would like for the template to work so that it just lists "Manga File (number): (name of the file)". I don't know how to get the template to only display the titles of the files without having to list the full proper link. (Since unlike episodes the Files do not have their own individual pages.) Could you help me solve this little problem? :) Once this problem is solved I can create one for Magic Kaito chapters as well following your example.

== Style Questions ==

I just have a few quick style/formatting questions:
* For anime episodes, should the manga reference be a line formatted as
#[[Volume 6|Volume 6: File 9]]~[[Volume 7|Volume 7: File 1]]
#[[Volume 71|Volume 71: Files 3-11 (743-751)]] [[Volume 72|Volume 72: File 1 (752)]]?
* The MoS prefers the spoilered conclusion of a case to include Evidence, Resolution, and Motive. These are a bullet list in the MoS, but I hope in the actual boxes those three can be used as headers, with paragraphs, bullets or numbered points beneath them.
* What is the preference for a blank background vs non-blank background, and 100px vs 225px for characters on the Notable Case and Minor Recurring character pages?
* When linking to an event, is it better to link to an episode, the manga file, or both? I've been erring on both for the minor recurring characters, for the moment.
* Episodes use screenshots for illustration - if event is the exact same in the manga, could an anime shot be used for illustration in the manga summaries (color tends to feel more natural and less stark), or would it be better to use a manga screenshot?

== Need third opinion ==

There is a minor edit war going on Vermouth in the non-aging section. You can follow my series of responses on the [[Talk:Vermouth|Vermouth article talk]] page, since the user replaced their talk page with "If you're not going to read my posts and ignore details, like the fact that an additional adjective is necessary, completely ignore the presented reasoning, and cast your unsubstantiated reasoning as a fact, then I'm just going to allow the talk page to stand like this and eradicate all speculations from the site. If you undo that, then congratulations, you've made me not able to trust a word this wiki has to say."

My rose tinted view of the argument are that basically I asked Wildcardmma to back up his/her statement that Vermouth has shown suicidal tendencies with references without success. (Note that I didn't remove said suicidal line from the article while the argument was in progress.) Without references, I suggested a compromise that avoided the word suicidal without effectively changing the content or meaning of the line: "However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series, both as a role she plays and as herself, it is possible she took the drug hoping to die, but was made younger like Haibara". it seems Wildcardmma was not pleased with this suggestion. 
Also there was a disagreement about what the Black Org was doing by using APTX 4869 on people. Wildcardmma said field testing, I said murder weapon only (and provided multiple quotes to this effect). It really didn't matter to the content of the article as far as I can tell, but may have fueled her perception I was trying to force my own way, or something like that. 
In the middle of all this, an IP came through and deleted the section because it contained speculation. (Edit summary: Wikis are supposed to be about facts. That paragraph was a statistical analysis and conclusion that may not be right, which led to the addition of possibilities by certain user(s).) I reverted because there is no policy against speculation (assuming it is informed and referenced), and because speculation sections (with competing ideas) are widespread across virtually all plot and plot character articles. 
Basically, I think I have handled this as best as I can, but I hoping to get your opinion on this, and suggestions on what to do with speculation sections. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 19:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

== Suzuki Sonoko ==

The IP who changed that just now is a long term vandal who vandalized Eisuke once, but since then adds random characters to various episode cast lists. He's a low frequency vandal (less than once a week) who generally only makes a small number of bad edits at a time. I've never seen anything productive out of him. The IPs used so far are
*180.190.163.16 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)
*180.190.173.208 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)
*180.190.185.97 - (Philippines Makati Gbb-vismin-ip-pool) (180.0.0.0 - 180.255.255.255)
I don't think there is much we can do about him at this point, but I wanted to let you know he existed so two people could be looking for him. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''Chekhov MacGuffin''']] [[User talk:Chekhov MacGuffin|'''talk''']] 17:08, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

== Changing names of the image ==

Maurice-sama, I have a question for you. How do you change the name of the image? How? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 20:20, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
:And how do you delete the image?

== Permission ==

Thank you anyway. And here's I really want to ask you. Can I move "Kaitou Kid" into "Kaito Kid"? Reason: The title is Magic Kaito so it's supposed to be "Kaito". --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 20:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
:Um hello...........I'm asking you for permission.
::So all I have to do is wait? That's it?

== Case image ==
I thought it was supposed be like this: Case 1 that "1" is meaning Part 1.

== New Here ==
Hi I'm new here. Just letting you know. If there's anything I should know please tell me.

=== Thank You! ===
Thank you for cleaning up the Gallery Page I created, I was going to leave it and find an admin to clean it and you saved a lot of time, so thank you. I apologise if the pictures aren't very good quality. I just noticed that there aren't any DC Websites (that I could find) with Episode Galleries, this is a good website so I wanted it to be the first so I started uploading pictures. I need to get to grips with this website - I'm an Admin on the Pokemon Wiki you see. If there are any problems I'm guessing I can come to you for help! [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:23, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay so should I just take this Episode as a one off and add 30 relevant pictures (that way my hard work isn't put to waste) and then on Episode two (and all the other Episodes) have only thirty like you said? Or should I delete all the Episode 1 pictures and start off fresh with just minute by minute pictures with a maximum of thirty? [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I've removed some irrelevant pictures for more space. If I end up having over 30 when I finish I'll try and delete as many as possible. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:49, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

The Gallery's complete - 30 Images exactly. Feel free to make any adjustments and give me constructive criticism. Change the captions if you like. I'll move on to Episode 2 the day after tomorrow. I won't always be able to work this fast as I have school 5 days a week, but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying! [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 20:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I have no idea why the jpg is in capitals, if I figure out how to stop it I'll try but for the moment I'm clueless. I'll move on to Episode 2 and use your advice (I was going to change the first frames but I think I'll leave it and try to do it minute by minute on Episode 2 instead of frame by frame).

== [[:File:Detective_1.jpg|File Sherlock Holmes]] ==

Hello Maurice, im rikku, a user from the german dcw. id like to ask, whether we can use the file named above in the german wiki as well. as [[USer:Philipp S.|philipp s.]] has told me, the german manga volume #1 doesnt provide aoyamas drawing for the detective picture book. certainly, there will be some kind of acknowledgment. yours, [[User:Rikku|Rikku]] 18:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

==Interwiki links==
Hello again. a few month ago we started connecting the articles from both of the german and this english dcw. after we had some difficulties in the beginning of 2011 we finally could add a lot of the interwiki links to your wiki until now. im planning to check (and fix) the links regularly with my [[de:Benutzer:RikkusBot|bot]] as well. id like to offer my help, adding interwiki links to the german wiki in your wiki, since the bot is checking back links anyway.
# i can publish the warning list somewhere here in the wiki, so you can add the correct interwiki links manually, or
# if it is ok for you, i can ask my bot add missing back links directly.
please let me know, what you think about this. yours, [[User:Rikku|Rikku]] 18:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

:Hello Maurice. thanks a lot for your friendly reply. i havent added any interwiki links until now, since i have some problem to connect via api. i hope i can fix this soon. im very sorry i couldnt be much help until now. [[User:Rikku|Rikku]] 20:40, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

== Episode 2's Gallery ==

The gallery for Episode Two is complete. Just giving you a heads up. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 15:38, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed you improved my captions on Episode 1's gallery, could I keep telling you when I finish a gallery? And then you change the captions? Only your captions are better than mine. Or to make it even quicker for me to upload, would you like me to upload them and you caption them?

[[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 15:49, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

== Introduction, Question, and Suggestion ==

Hello there Maurice. I've been a member of this wiki for a good while now, mostly as a reader, but I have recently become more active around the site. Seeing as how I've pretty much spammed the Recent changes page a few times, I figured I should just introduce myself and thank you for running such an awesome wiki! Believe me, I've seen some pretty awful ones, so it's nice to see someone so dedicated!

Anyways, I have a question for you since I am posting here. Could you take a look at [[Template:Movies|this]] template I made and see if it's alright? I mostly copied and pasted from pre existing navigational boxes, and I think it works as it is right now, but the font looks kind of funky, and I'm not sure if I have the coding right following my edits. I did intend to center the movie titles and keep them all in one box/row, however, which is why I am slightly concerned. Since none of the other templates I could find on the site used the format I was looking for, I had to improvise to the best of my ability. Sooooo, yeah. Haha. Thanks!

Lastly, I have a request. Or rather a suggestion. I absolutely LOVE the whole plot legend system you have going for the manga, and the symbols you added look great (particularly the one for the Black Organization). When I looked up the B.O. icon, it said you were the author of the image, so I thought it best that I ask you this: Could you make an icon representing Kaitou Kid related chapters? Perhaps you can model it off of the B.O. one I keep mentioning. Just a suggestion/request. Either way, you did a nice job setting the whole system up! Visuals and organization are what keep me coming back to informational sites such as this one after all. :P

Thank you for your time and good job again on running this site! :D Hope to hear back from you soon!

== Kaito Kid ==
This is 69.150.185.236, Oh Oh Oh! On Plot system, make Kaito Kid's drawing as a symbol just like he put on those letters!
== Help ==
This is 69.150.185.236, I have a problem, I can't put Kaito Kid symbols in OVA plots. I try preview but it's not showing Kaito Kid's symbol.

== Confusing ==
This is 69.150.185.236, this is confusing. On [[Chinatown Deja Vu in the Rain]], I'm not so sure that Hama is last name. I just put Hama Mike. Confusing when there's English and Japanese together. Is it Mike Hama or just Hama Mike?

== Watch Section ==

Do you think we should have a watch section for Episodes? I'll do an example on Episode 1, have a look and then tell me your thoughts - if it's a bad idea I'll remove the section immediatly. [[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 17:16, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

== A Few Things ==

I'm still figuring out how to properly respond to comments left on Talk pages, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. As for this oddly formatted response, I'm pretty much OCD about everything looking nice, so this is my attempt at fitting everything in with one edit and still being organizaed. So, anyways, here we go...

=== RE: RE: Introduction, Question, and Suggestion ===

Thank you for your kind words about my kind words! lol I'm glad to hear comments such as my previous help motivate and encourage. I really do appreciate all of the hard work that this entire community put into the site. Detective Conan is an amazing series that I believe goes unappreciated at times. Communities and projects such as this Wiki really help spread word of the series and how dedicated the fans are! Kudos to you for starting this great site, and to everyone for maintaining it! I'll be sure to continue contributing because, just like yourself, I have enjoyed myself thus far! Thanks again! Oh, and the Kaito Kid symbol looks great! I've already seen it being integrated and it seems to be working out well! Thanks for listening to my request!

=== RE: Juzo Megure Appearances ===

Thank you again for your kind words! As for Wiki experience, I do have some. A few years back I contributed to Wikipedia frequently, but all the vandalism, rules, and arguing just took the fun out of it. It's been a few years since then, so I've gotten a little rusty, but I'm starting to get back into the hang of it. Smaller communities such as this seem to be more dedicated and enjoyable anyways, not to mention far less confrontational. Sure thing! You can count on me! :)

=== FBI Template ===

In my attempt to better organize and group together various articles, I decided to try and make a template for the FBI. Unfortuneatly, I can't quite decide on how the template should be organized. I've listed two of my different concepts below for you to visualize. Particularly with the second template, I used coding from other tables on the site to help me format. I'm not sure about what order the names should be listed in, or what color scheme should be used for the table overall, but I think those are pretty easy edits. If you could take a look at the two templates below and tell or show me what you think in terms of coding, organization, and edits needed for the final product, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

====Template 1====

For the first template, I tried to integrate the FBI ensignia within the formatting. Perhaps the coding can be tweaked or image shifted to the right, but I think the template came out looking pretty nice. There aren't many articles at this point concerning the FBI for me to use in the template, so I simply listed all current agents on one row. The names are all to the right of the ensignia, centered with the remaining empty space. For the sake of information, I added Scar Akai next to Shuichi as his true identity has yet to be revealed. That can be reworked or removed entirely.

{|style="clear: both; background-color:#FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #a6a6a6; width:50%; margin: 8px auto 0px;" class="bonav collapsible"
|-
! colspan="2" align="center" style="background-color:#738FC3; font-size:95%; padding: 1px 5px 1px 8px;" | <div class="noprint plainlinks navbar" style="float: left; width:6em; text-align:left; font-weight: normal; font-size: xx-small; color: #ffffff;">[[:Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation|v]] • [[:Template_talk:Federal Bureau of Investigation|d]] • [{{fullurl:Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation|action=edit}}e]</div> '''[[Federal Bureau of Investigation|Federal Bureau of Investigation]]'''
|-
| [[File:FBI logo.png|100px]]
| align="center" | [[James Black]] • [[Jodie Starling]] • [[Shuichi Akai]] ( [[Scar Akai]] ) • [[Andre Camel]]
|}

====Template 2====

The second template I created simply follows the formatting used [[Template:Black Organization|here]] and [[Template:Detective Boys|here]]. Again, with so little information to go off of, I could only things into two rows: 'Active Agents' and 'Deceased Agents'. If consistence is important, this template is probably the better one to choose. On the 'Deceased Agents' row, I listed Akai Shuichi and Scar Akai, as his death is still up for debate. I would put Jodie's father here as well, but his name is unknown and he has never actually appeared to my knowledge. Anyways, height, width, and overall perimeters can be adjusted if need be, and again, some coding may need to be worked on. I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of Wiki format.

== Video File=Media File? ==

Is it possible to upload videos to this website? I know you can upload Media Files so would a video count? It's a video of Episode 1 with subtitles. I was thinking maybe if I did Episode Galleries and videos that would be even better for articles. Also maybe we could adapt the watch section of this wiki (I know it's broken atm) and link it! Also that means that if school ever stops me from taking the time to create galleries I can still upload videos! Let me know your thoughts!
[[User:Hstar|Hstar]] 16:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Or I could re-link the watch section to valid links - it's a huge task but I'm up for it!

I'm also working on the Grass Court Queen/Holmes Revelation people. For the characters I definitely know, I'll add the images. Also is Hestia the woman in sunglasses? Because I've uploaded the woman in sunglasses as her.

== From IP 109.235.49.143 ==

Chekhov MaccGuffin

http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Talk:Vermouth#Confusing

Over the course of this page, I find that Chekhov has been less than considerate of other users' theories, and has said that a wiki is meant for just such behavior. I find it hard to believe that someone like this would be made moderator. He even went so far as to repeatedly ignore what I and two other users wrote when making his points. As another IP said, such behavior and a position of power casts serious doubt on anything posted on this wiki. I understand there's going to be debate, but that's not what he's after; this behavior is more akin to single-mindedness. I also found that he chased a certain user away, and evidently the other IP is not returning. And to be fair, I'm also not returning either once this situation is over. Clean up you moderator's behavior towards other users, or I'm going over your head.

==Foreign thing help!==
Right, so I when I started to add them to the Character pages such as [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Conan Edogawa|Conan's]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko's]], I realized I might need to make a Template, so eventually I made the [[Template:CharLang|Template]] but I want to as you a question:
How do you make it so that the languages only appear if you type.
Example if you write only the Korean one so
<pre>
{{CharLang
|korean-name = 코난 Konan
|korean-surname = n/a
}}
</pre>
Which becomes:
{{CharLang
|korean-name = 코난 Konan
|korean-surname = n/a
}}
How do you get rid of the Other Languages???
Can you please put the code for it to work. Becuase it kinda does for the [[Template:InfoBox Char|Character Table Template]]
Can you please reply once you fixed the problem.

== Heads up on Vermouth issue ==

I've been dealing with, or trying to deal with, an IP over the issue of Vermouth's aging issue speculation section. There are a few IPs involved tracing to different locations but I am pretty sure they are the same user because on a wiki that gets maybe 50-100 edits a day total, and most IP edits to case pages, we have two separate IPs with the exact same viewpoints and editing style and one suddenly comes to the other's defense without any other editing elsewhere when you can have weeks between substantial IP edits in any character pages. You can read the discussion on [[talk:Vermouth]], but to summarize, the issue has primarily been over references and interpretations of references. This user has not taken kindly to the fact that I have challenged various edits of theirs and undid some of their changes after I categorically referenced the statements the IP removed with difficult-to-dispute references. There is also a lot on nitpicking over words and phrasing and stuff. The user has deleted the speculation section twice and I've reverted. I've kept reasonably civil and focused on the article despite various accusations the IP has made. A third person view would be nice.

== Character List Images ==
I know that there's a way to change what name is displayed in the character list using something like Char|Shinichi Kudo|display=Shinichi; is there a way to do something similar to change what image appears for the character? I think it'd be neat to be able to use live action images of the characters for the drama episode pages like here: [[Drama Episode 1]]. It seems bizarre to have the anime images on that page in my opinion. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 03:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Why are there pictures in some Episode Templates? (e.g Episode 1) and some title screens in others? (e.g. 591) Is it better to have pictures or is it better to have title screens? If pictures then I'd love to help change as many title screens as possible!

== 69.148.232.113 ==

Can you please talk to this user for me? I assume it is the same person that the site has had problems with in the past. I've been working on a project for the wikia offline quite a bit recently, but my recent unrelated edits (not related to images) have been reverted and deleted and vandalized consistently by this person. While I realize that a Wikia is a community working together for a joint-purpose, some of his edits and comments are just unnecessary and immature. If this is the same person that people have complained about in the past, then I don't think it would be wise for me to confront him. [[Special:Contributions/69.148.232.113]] This recent edit comment "(→People: OMG, Jigsaw. She has a name. What is wrong with you!!!)" really bothered me. Perhaps I am taking this too personally, but I don't appreciate spending the time I do on here just to get attitude and have my contributions criticized. --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 21:11, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

== Affiliating with Other DC Wikis ==
I know we somehow managed to affiliate with a German DC Wiki, and I recently stumbled across a French DC Wiki during research for collectibles.

== Better or Worse ==

When your editing a cast section of an episode, is it better to set it out like this:
<pre>
{{Char Appearances|
{{Char|Conan Edogawa}}
{{Char|Kogoro Mouri}}
{{Char|Ran Mouri}}
{{Char|Hiroshi Agasa|display=Dr. Agasa}}
{{Char|Ayumi Yoshida}}
{{Char|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
{{Char|Genta Kojima}}
{{Char|Inspector Megure}}
}}
</pre>

Or this?

<pre>
{{BeginBox}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Shinichi Kudo]]|image = Shinichi Kudo.jpg|link=Shinichi Kudo|description =
* 17 years old
* High school student
* Detective}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Ran Mouri]]|image = Ran Mouri.jpg|link=Ran Mouri|description =
* 17 years old
* High school student
* Karate champion}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Kogoro Mouri]]|image = Kogoro Mouri.jpg|link=Kogoro Mouri|description =
* [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s father
* Detective}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Inspector Megure]]|image = Inspector Megure.jpg|link=Inspector Megure|description =
* Inspector from Tokyo Police district}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Ayumi Yoshida]]|image = Ayumi Yoshida.jpg|link=Ayumi Yoshida|description =
* 7 years old
* [[Mitsuhiko]] and [[Genta]]'s classmate}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya]]|image = Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.jpg|link=Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|description =
* 7 years old
* [[Ayumi]] and [[Genta]]'s classmate}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Genta Kojima]]|image = Genta Kojima.jpg|link=Genta Kojima|description =
* 7 years old
* [[Ayumi]] and [[Mitsuhiko]]'s classmate}}
{{NewChar|name = [[Hiroshi Agasa]]|image = Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|link=Hiroshi Agasa|description =
* 52 years old
* Engineer/Inventor
* [[Shinichi]]'s old family friend}}
{{EndBox}}
</pre>

:I can answer this. The first way (Char Appearances) is proper when doing a cast list of characters who have appeared before which is the case in most episodes. Begin box is used for case suspects and other people under the people section and for new characters.

== Question ==
How would one determine whether people should be listed in the Cast box, the People section, or the Characters introduced section? My understanding was that the first appearance of an important or recurring character should be listed as such under Characters introduced. While judgment can occasionally blur here when it comes to Magic Kaito characters, what with the OVAs and a separate series of TV Specials, I think it's pretty self-explanatory. However, a recent edit [[Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!!|'''here''']] in which a user moved everyone from People to the Cast section has really gotten me confused. Was such an edit correct? If they were to be in the Cast box, I would imagine they need to have appeared before in the Detective Conan anime series, which none of them have. In most cases, I would move them to Characters introduced, but with so many people and very little significance to the series, I don't think that would be the case here. I guess, simply put, do they belong in the Cast box or the People section? I only question this because a similar situation seems to be accepted in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan|'''this''']] article. I'm probably over thinking this, but I like to get my facts straight before making judgment. Thanks! --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 03:56, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
:The characters of Yaiba is on the cast just like Lupin III vs. Detective Conan and Kindaichi Case Files on game. They're from different show so it's like special guests to the shows. So it's A-Okay! :) --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 04:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Crimeboxes ==

One of the ongoing revert wars here at DCW seems to be where a crime box is located. When you get a chance, could you add something to the MoS concerning this topic? Also, if the correct format is for a crimebox to be midtext, is there a way to wrap text around it like you would an image? Thanks! --[[User:Jigsaw|Jigsaw]] 23:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

== Problem ==
Maurice-sama, I have a problem. This user Daniel46 is putting crime boxes above the story. This is the best idea of putting crime boxes in the middle of the text. Like for example,
While Conan and Ran were walking, they found the dead body.
(Crime box appears)
It makes more sense. Right? Do you agree? Check out Clash of Red and Black article for example. The multiple crime boxes occur in the middle of the story makes more sense and a perfect idea of the locations of the crime boxes occur. --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 21:39, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

==Concerning the current DC Style Wars==
Hi, Maurice. On the placement of the Crime Boxes, I'd like to comment that stylistically this measure is rather an eyesore. I mean, it's like placing the headline of a newspaper article into the middle of the main text. The Crime Boxes are in my opinion of an introductionary nature, giving an overwiew of the crime before the investigation begins. It's like in a real criminal case: The deed is done and discovered (as shown and summarized in the Crime Boxes), the police questions everyone, and the reconstruction of facts commences, recounting as to how the persons (in this case, Conan & Company) got involved in this case. And I'd also like to comment on the difference between the Plot Overview and the Background descriptions for '''[[Hidemi Hondou]]'''. The facts provided so far are a mere summarization of her appearances and plot contributions in the series and should be treated as generic Background information, while the Plot Overview is used for more specific details. Like, look at the '''[[Ai Haibara]]''' and '''[[Heiji Hattori]]''' entries and compare their Background accounts with the information currently set in '''Hidemi Hondou'''. Also, the Background facts are written in Past Tense, while the Plot Overviews are usually set in Present Tense. The splitting up of the currently available information for '''Hidemi Hondou''' is therefore as much as an eyesore as it is unnecessary. I am a novel reader and fledging book writer, so I can say that I have acquired a certain eye for literary style. So I ask you to reconsider the overall style in order to make this site a stylistic pleasure. Yours sincerely,[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 06:15, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

:Hi again, Maurice. Just read your mail, and regarding the Crime Boxes, I think your suggestion of setting them at the end of a section has its merits in certain points. However, one must consider that in the case of ''Detective Conan'', you '''always''' expect a criminal case to occur, and a Crime Box is in that point an announcement - or summarization - of the situation as it can be found on the crime scene. It's like the headline of a newspaper: It announces what's happened, drawing attention to the case at hand, and then follows the background (story) to that case. The police proceeds the same way with protocols, recounting what's happened up to the point of the crime, the persons the victim(s) have been in contact with, circumstances etc. For your information: There are several TV shows which demonstrate this ''modus operandi'', especially the German show '''"Aktenzeichen XY ... Ungelöst"''' ("File Sign XY ... Unsolved"). It's both a sort-of reality TV documentary as well as a licensed investigation aid for the German police to resolve difficult criminal cases. Many of these cases are reconstructed as short films, which describe the respective crime in as much detail as it is known, from the victim's background up to the date and location where the crime was committed, and sometimes the subsequent investigation. The series was (and still is) so successful that it inspired several international copies, most notably '''"America's Most Wanted."''' XY is all in German, I know, but just to peak your interest; I'd like to give you the website '''http://www.e110.de/'''; look for the keyword "'''XY-Sendung vom ...'''" to have a look into the latest epsiode to date. Several episodes are also featured on YouTube. If you've got any questions about XY - like a certain case type (murder, robbery etc.) you'd like to observe as a film (of course with a summary by my person) -, just give me the word and I'll give you a corresponding link for upload. As for '''[[Hidemi Hondou]]''', the information currently found on the chapter was originally posted by me ... in the '''Background''' section. Someone just decided to chop it up, adding little self-initiative work to 'complete' it. What I've written was solely intended for the Background and was (is) as compact as I could get it; if you look closer, you'll see that it's more general that detail, as it was intended. The same type of work I've done with '''[[Heiji Hattori]]''', and initially there were some unreasonable changes, but ever since no one has done any more crippling so far. I suggest you closely compare the '''Heiji Hattori''' Background section with what's been done in '''Hidemi Hondou''' more recently (i.e. what is listed under '''Plot Overview''' now) ... and I hope you'll agree with me. Yours sincerely,[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 18:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

== Ref Links (Manga, MK Chapters, etc.) ==
Hey Maurice! I'm attempting to make more templates similar to the ref anime template. I've started by trying to make one for manga files, but the results are a bit sloppy. I've tested the template here: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case#Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion]]. As you see, the resulting link on the page looks kinda sloppy. I would like for the template to work so that it just lists "Manga File (number): (name of the file)". I don't know how to get the template to only display the titles of the files without having to list the full proper link. (Since unlike episodes the Files do not have their own individual pages.) Could you help me solve this little problem? :) Once this problem is solved I can create one for Magic Kaito chapters as well following your example. Thanks! --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 23:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

:Nevermind, Chekov got it.

== Style Questions ==

I just have a few quick style/formatting questions:
* For anime episodes, should the manga reference be a line formatted as
#[[Volume 6|Volume 6: File 9]]~[[Volume 7|Volume 7: File 1]]
#[[Volume 71|Volume 71: Files 3-11 (743-751)]] [[Volume 72|Volume 72: File 1 (752)]]?
* The MoS prefers the spoilered conclusion of a case to include Evidence, Resolution, and Motive. These are a bullet list in the MoS, but I hope in the actual boxes those three can be used as headers, with paragraphs, bullets or numbered points beneath them.
* What is the preference for a blank background vs non-blank background, and 100px vs 225px for characters on the Notable Case and Minor Recurring character pages?
* When linking to an event, is it better to link to an episode, the manga file, or both? I've been erring on both for the minor recurring characters, for the moment.
* Episodes use screenshots for illustration - if event is the exact same in the manga, could an anime shot be used for illustration in the manga summaries (color tends to feel more natural and less stark), or would it be better to use a manga screenshot?
