Re:
Gaarmyvet,

why was the page for Thug 2 JJ Morris deleted? I am him & added info about myself on there.

Thanks, Jj Joey Morris 04:59, February 22, 2012 (UTC) Thanks, I sort of specialize in that sort of thing. -Cligra


 * We decided to cut down on pages. We were originally going to remove all characters who appeared in only one episode. We then decided to keep characters with names. All the deleted character pages have been combined into a single "Co-stars" page for each episode. See Bears Will Be Bears/Co-stars. No cast pages for those characters, although some may still be in existence.-- 13:32, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * OK thanks. Just for info purposes Myself & my buddy Keith Cox (Thug 1) are of the few professional union stuntmen (SAG/AFTRA) here in portland. We work both series filmed here amongst other features & have been on more then one episode of these, alot of the time, we are not featured.
 * Thanks, JJJj Joey Morris 05:35, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Blutbad
Why has the entry from Marie's book been removed? It comes from the official Grimm website on NBC.com. The pictures are gone as well. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 03:26, November 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I apologize. I attempted to rename the page so it would be singular just lkike the other creature pages and Wikia threw me an error message. The page disappeared and Wikia tech support says they can't help us with a re-creation. Whatever you can fix, please do.-- 03:33, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Question about Unanswered Questions Answers
Thanks for the welcome and I do have a question. I am not complaining or remotely offended, but would like to get a bead on the standards of Wikia, so could you explain why my answers to the Unanswered Questions for "Beeware" were removed? Thanks lots! OneHappyHusky 21:31, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Ahhh, thank you, I total misinterpreted the section! Good to know! Thank you OneHappyHusky 21:45, November 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Who is coming for Nick? As yet, we do not know definitively who the Queen Bee was talking about. It may have been a reference to the "Grimm Reaper" who shows up in the following episode to try to kill Nick, or she may have been referring to somebody of greater significance who will show up later in the season as a larger-scale threat.
 * Why did the mellifers attack Hank Griffin? At that point the Melifers were still trying to protect Nick.


 * The headline is in tended more for the questions than the answers. Teasers, if you will, to stimulate interest. So far, we don't have a good place to put answers. I'm open to suggestions. On Lostpedia, they would have gone on the Theory page for the page where the question appeared, but Wikia killed off the theory tab capability when they redid their format. We could still create theory pages and put links on the base pages. As I said, I'm open to ideas.-- 21:42, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Slivitch
i heard it on the show

What is slivitch? is it the name of someone? I remeber seeing it once on the wiki, but i can't remember it. Roacher26 23:13, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Slivitch was supposedly the name of Reaper, but it has never shown up in credits or dialog. It may have been the name used in the casting call, but without some documentation, we'll never know.-- 23:19, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Synopsis sections
I need to get these Synopsis sections filled in. I'm way behind. It takes me quite a while just to do one for Terra Nova for some reason...I'm still working on that last one there. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 23:07, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem; we could use more "serious" editors. My first wiki was Lostpedia and I've often thought that every wiki should be as frantic as it was. I'd love to have someone who thinks completing cast/crew pages is the most wonderful thing in the world 'cause I don't! -- 23:20, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there doesn't seem to be many of those here! I wish some were! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 23:57, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Grimm
Hi. I was wondering what you need help with around here. --Frederick 03:14, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking.
 * If -- big if? -- you're interested in Cast biographies, we don't have anyone working on those.
 * The one-episode character pages are kind of slim.
 * Episode Synopses usually need some work. User:RaptorWiki has been doing a lot of the work, but he shouldn't have to do it all by himself.
 * -- 03:46, December 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm so far behind on those synopses, it's not even funny. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some time. And now we've had two more episodes in one week! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 04:17, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Credit
Just would like you to know I also was the first Pig Nick saw in the house in "The three bad wolves' and a Troll creature in the upcoming episode " Of mouse and man" Could be listed as stunt double or as utility stunts,,,,,ThanksKeith Cox 06:52, December 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for asking but, without your name showing in the credits at the end of an episode, I can't go that far. The version of that's on Hulu/IMDb doesn't show your name. If this wiki had dozens of editors with special interests like tracking performers, it would be different. Maybe if the series gets really hot, we'll attract more editor talent here.-- 02:43, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Numbers
Hey, I have started to try and make a wiki for the tv show Numb3rs, http://numb3rs.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, and do you have any advice? I have to start it from the ground up and build a community from nothing. --Frederick (Talk) {Twitter}
 * I've never watched the show, so I can't help you with content. The main page looks good, except for three things: "Characters" is misspelled in "All Charaters;" "2" should be spelled "two" (twice) in the intro about the two brothers, and you should use the Theme Designer-Wordmark to replace the text name of the wiki with a graphic image incorporating the show title in uppercase because that's what the show used. Good luck.-- 19:02, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll change that ops. I can't get admin rights for about 2 to 4 months so I just emailed Wikia and hopefully, they'll change it for me. I have the background, colors, and watermark all layed out. --Frederick (Talk) {Twitter}

Music when Marie arrives in Pilot
Hi Jim, I'll have a listen and see if it sounds familiar. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)20:50, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just soundtrack scoring there, no "canned" music there. The only song in that episode that's canned is "Sweet Dreams" (though they do use two poplar versions by two radically different artists. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)21:05, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation guides
Thanks! I was thinking about it the other day after I set up the article on Rissfleisch since it's got a sharp S in the word, and most people would assume it was a B sound. I used the BBC pronunciation key to generate these, since that's the simplest pronunciation key I know of for the English language. As a result, the one at Eisbiber looks a little funny ("y" to represent a long I), but hey. Some things are just funny like that. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)21:01, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Lol! Geiben! Hoffenlich, nicht beim Deutscher! Some people crack me up... Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)21:14, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Not to say I want to ask something if you do not take me wrong, I want you Post more pictures of the series and all the characters, especially David Giuntoli. I would greatly appreciate it if you did.

Unnecessary Categories
Just thinking that the categories Bob the Wikipedian has added about speaking english/german are unnecessary. They don't really have any relevance. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 00:37, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * They're just "bragging rights." They come from Wikipedia, where a user may declare his nationality, language and preferred brand of pizza!-- 03:51, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not intended as "bragging rights", though I can see where one might consider them such; it's useful (in my opinion) to know who has the ability to contribute in English or German, since English is the language used on the wiki and German is obviously a relevant language in understanding the series. I don't think other language templates would be appropriate for this wiki, unless we have contributors who aren't native English speakers. But like Jim said, they're mostly for enriching your userpage so folks can figure out who you are and what you're here for. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)04:25, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, not needed. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 19:53, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then feel free to remove them; I'll also stop working on that quiz userbox I'm coding as it's certainly not "needed", either. I'm not crazy about the deletionist perspectives I've seen here, but this isn't Wikipedia, so I'll do my best to conform to the local policies. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)05:32, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

I am inclined to leave the categories and the quiz box in place. Anyone who doesn't want to use them doesn't have to. I think we have too many other things to worry about: Episodes with no or incomplete synopses, images with no licensing statements, and both character and cast pages that are stubs.-- 14:27, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since these aren't categories being used in articles, I'm fine with that, too. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 15:32, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Jim, what do you think of the new categories someone is creating now? - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 19:34, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Too much of a "good thing." I already dropped a note on the guy's talk page when he started renaming pages. Someone needs to remind him the entering a category on a page is only part of the work.-- 22:05, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ones like Justice, Law Enforcement, Medical, Victims....do they really add anything but clutter? - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 23:27, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, and Teenagers.-- 01:34, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was actually the one that got my attention. Do we want to keep any of the categories? - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 02:07, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, teke 'em all. We'll let others with proven track records re-add if they deem it necessary.-- 03:11, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Sean
Good morning. :) The nameplate on his desk (shown in "Organ Grinder") clearly reads "CAPTAIN SEAN RENARD". Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)17:54, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Good catch! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 22:37, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and re: Jim-- Haha, sounds like Lost was as bad as Star Trek! Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)22:43, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now if one of the guys would just slip and call Wu by his first name...-- 22:50, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hard for them to do accidentally, since they don't know it. They'd have to forget their line and just say whatever rolls off their tongue at the moment... Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)23:13, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, I don't remember anyone calling Wu anything, even Hank when they were having a drink together a few episodes ago.-- 23:39, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

WP:DRAGON
Thanks! :) Yup, I definitely leave my mark wherever I go, whether it's welcome or not. Hope I'm not causing too many problems around here. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)23:53, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not at all. Do you know how to make the expandable boxes work?-- 23:58, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * You mean the show/hide stuff? I can look into getting the code from Wikipedia and setting it up here for you. What do you have in mind? Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)00:09, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's it. I tried to make it work on another wiki I run (there are three dealing with those rectangular solids known as "books" ). The code blew up in my face, so I rolled everything back. The boxes would replace the nav boxes, of which we currently have three, I think. Maybe it's not worth the trouble, but I like the way they look. I think you would need to be an admin to implement; that's easy for a person with my "immense power."-- 00:19, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, like the ones found at Monkey Island (series)? I'll get to work on that now. :) Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)03:22, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Making a little progress here and there; I'll need you to edit the MediaWiki:Common.css, though. I'm not sure how much of this we need, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to simply add this to the end of it, or in the middle, or wherever you see fit:


 * That's the version used at Wikipedia, so it may have some undesirable formatting, but it's a start, and we can always spruce it up once it's functioning properly. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)04:38, February 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done!-- 13:39, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! And thanks for the access level! I'll see what I can do! Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)14:57, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Verrat
Seeing as how "ferrat" isn't a word in any language (as far as I can tell), "Verrat" makes sense. It's pronounced the same, so unless it was ever shown in print, I'd lean toward the "V" spelling. And (having missed this part of the conversation, I don't know the context) I'd venture to guess the Verrat the man was referring to was himself, not an organization. But I'd need to re-watch that part to assess that. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)14:56, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * The Voice on Phone said he represented "the 'ferrat.'" It was shown in the closed captioning, but that's often problematical, at best.-- 20:34, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Right...I like how whoever noticed this handled it. Let's hold out and see if they say the word again and what context it's used in. By the way, I believe the templates should work for the navbox provided I can figure out which part of the CSS or Javascript still needs patched, but I've got several other things that are priority at the moment, so I'll get back to that another time. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)20:47, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * It was an IP edit, or I'd give the editor a pat on the back.-- 20:59, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

infobox episode character
You've got the image rowspanning instead of colspanning. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)00:57, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Red categories
I'm not sure. I know there's a script on Wikipedia you can add to your account to let you see the hidden categories; that might do the trick. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)17:03, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Cast Bio's
Even though I have been trying to work on all the actor's bio's, who have made an appearance on Grimm, I would suggest only include the actors whose character actually has a name. You could eliminate or ignore actors who are cast as say, "Second Paramedic" or "Police Officer". Since Grimm is filmed in and around Portland most of the actors cast in those parts are local and have very little as way of a resume or only would be of interest to anyone from the Portland or Oregon area. As for one-episode characters, I would leave that in. Especially if the part was played by a more experienced/or known actor. For example, Patrick Fischler was only in one episode as a main protagonist, but he also is a familiar character actor (having a recurring role in Lost) so it would be good to have a place where a viewer sees an actor on Grimm, who looks familiar to them but they can't exactly place them, and be able to click on that name and see what other shows they have appeared in. So, whatever you decide though is okay with me! I'll keep trying to update the bios, its interesting for me who some of these actors are and where they come from and what other shows they have appeared in! Thanks for asking for my input!

What a day!
 *wipes forehead *

Looks like we've both been pretty busy today; lots of exciting stuff! Would you mind looking through the categories I've set up for image sorting and providing some feedback on it? Thanks! <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)03:36, February 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will do, but in the morning. It's time to start decompressing...-- 03:43, February 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Right, no point in having the category until it's evident there are multiple candidates for it. Gotcha! <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)19:37, February 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know what your opinion is, but I think once I get all these images categorized I'll go through and start deleting images. We've got so many near-duplicates that it borders on having copied the film. And there's no way anyone can argue all of them as fair use; it only takes one image of any topic to represent it. Thoughts? <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)04:17, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed!-- 13:39, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, last night I went through the fair use ones for a change in pace. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)20:57, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Not to work against you, but I'm suppressing categorization for fairuse, NBC, and near duplicates until we get them all sorted. I'm using "Uncategorized images" for the most part when I'm figuring out which ones need sorted yet. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)21:08, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

 * Don't worry about it, Ryan. There's plenty to do. If all three of us were trying to work on images, we'd really be tripping over each other!-- 01:58, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Gaarmyvet,

why was the page for Thug 2 JJ Morris deleted? I am him & added info about myself on there.

Thanks, JJJj Joey Morris 04:53, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Singular or Plural
Why was it decided not to leave articles in the plural form, with things like "en" at the end? HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 04:11, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mostly because NBC/producers/writers are so inconsistent with their "Hollywood German." In addition, "-en" is not always the answer; I'm informed by a German speaker that the plural of Schakal is "Schakale."-- 13:43, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Dämonfeuer
Ha! I thought I heard a butchered pronunciation of "Dämonführer" at first, too, so I did a quick replay, but only heard one R-- which was when it became obvious to me they were pronouncing "Feuer" like "fewer" instead of "foyer". I agree...if High German is going to be the mythology's main language, they've GOT to hire a dialogue coach! This just gets worse and worse every week! <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 16:58, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then again, let's keep in mind these are German-Americans...and the typical German-American that has any German left in them that was passed down from ancestors really has no idea how to pronounce it. So, it's at least consistent in that respect. Now if they ever bring in a character that actually knows or studies German, they'll have to do some research. I sure hope the producers are reading this... <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 17:02, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I was wondering why it wasn't working. Thanks. Icealien33 02:39, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Cropping Images
For the infoboxes, it would look better if the images were cropped. Instead of this:

This looks better: Images of specific characters should be cropped for infoboxes, it is more distinguishable and professional. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 07:51, April 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes! A cleanly done cropping job, like yours but rarely like mine, is an improvement. Go for it, remembering, of course, to give credit to NBC.-- 13:31, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Rename?
Can you rename Category:Thomas Steinkeller to Category:Thomas Steinkeller images? I just realized I messed it up yesterday. Thanks. Icealien33 02:29, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * You can't rename a category. Why? Who knows? So I deleted it.-- 02:33, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why in the world would we need a category like that anyway? That should not exist. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 09:20, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Whoa, I see a bunch more like that. I think those should be eliminated. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 09:24, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm looking forward to the inter-season break. There are a lot of little things that need tweaking. Don't let that stop you from the fixes you think need to be made.-- 12:25, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why did the page get deleted again? Its a way to organize photos of characters. Pretty much all characters have an image category. Icealien33 16:03, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because there's no Thomas Steinkeller? If it's a character who has not yet appeared, we need to slow down.-- 16:16, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay... I just did it because a few sites with the promo images for said that guy's name was Thomas Steinkeller. Icealien33 16:22, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because it's completely unnecessary to have categories for images for each character. Having them on their articles is plenty good enough. There's already enough categories. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 16:43, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Can you delete Category:Robin Steinkeller images. It was made awhile ago, and now that has aired, it turns out her last name is Steinkellner. -- <font face=Verdana> Ice Contribs  Talk  22:32, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done!-- 22:35, April 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll go through and delete them all at some point. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 03:16, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you.-- 03:27, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, wait...Bob added a bunch of those image categories. Maybe I'll hold off for now.  There's WAY too much category clutter here now, and it would take an enormous effort to reverse it. What do you want to do? - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 14:54, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Owl Wesen
could you give me a good name on a owl wesen?
 * No the purpose of this wiki is to document the series. We're not set up to support fan fiction, although there is some, and any pages about Wesen that have not appeared on air will be deleted.-- 13:11, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Spoilers
What do you think about the idea of creating a template to go on the top of pages warning about spoilers like other wikis have. I know about a wesen that will be coming up in a few episodes that NBC hasn't revealed, but I trust the website that broke the news because they have gotten things right about past episodes weeks before they aired. -- <font face=Verdana> Ice Contribs  Talk  00:22, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Here is an example if you're interested. I got the code from the Call of Duty wiki.

<div id="" class="messagebox noprint iumb hidable"><div style="background: #000000; color: ">

Ice,

Caution, rant follows. I don't know why you want to be spoiled. If you like the series, the mythology, the characters, the plot, what do you really gain by knowing stuff in advance? Then why do you want to tell others? Can't they find out for themselves? Okay, rant over.

Having ranted, I understand that there's a "market" for spoilers. My problem is with implementation.
 * I don't want to be spoiled. I think the other two administrators feel the same way, but I'll let them speak for themselves, if they wish.  We have to look at everything to make sure the wiki isn't being trashed or spammed.  I have watches on over 500 pages, including talk (fortunately most of them are pretty inactive).  If the show gains in popularity, we WILL attract vandals and spammers.
 * I you're allowed to put spoilers about a future Wesen on the episode page, does that mean you can start a page for that Wesen? If you can, it shows up in the recent change log.  Can you put spoilers about an existing character on the character's page, with or without the banner?  If so, a user who doesn't want to be spoiled can't read the page to check on historical information without risking tripping over unaired facts (or presumed facts).

Can you live with being allowed to put spoilers on your own spoiler page (e.g.:User:Icealien33/Spoilers)

It's late.

 * I think that if we do decide to allow spoilers, we should not have a spoiler banner. We should instead use a drop box like thing for spoilers. Just like the one on the IMdB pages on the movie summaries. Theirs is a mouse over box, when you put your mouse over the spoiler banner, it reveals the real text. ~ 15:21, 08 April 2012 (UTC)

Redirects
Is there any way to get rid of redirect pages? got messed up after it had its name changed 3 times today and now when you search "leave it to" in the search box, you get 3 page titles for the episode and all 3 are wrong and go to a redirect page with a link to the correct page, instead of just going directly to the page. -- <font face=Verdana> Ice Contribs  Talk  22:07, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks like User:RaptorWiki got at least some of them. I'll look again in the morning after the error reports get published.-- 00:06, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, as of now, the only thing that shows up when you start searching is Leave it to the Beavers which RaptorWiki deleted. We just need to get Leave It to the Beavers to show up as a suggestion as you're typing it out in the search box. -- <font face=Verdana> Ice Contribs  Talk  00:31, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm tentatively unimpressed. Some months ago, some media outlet announced an episode title of "Of House and Man." Wikipedia went into argument mode over whether it had to be listed as the outlet put it on line. Ultimately, the media oulter was proven wrong.

 * I wonder if those promos for Grimm from last summer are still around. I remember that every time I saw the preview, I did not want to watch Grimm. I only started watching it on an encore episode the day after it first aired. All the preview starts out with is a blutbad knocking someone over (from Pilot) then it says "Grimm, this fall on NBC." If you could find that in your spare time while I work on the episode summaries, that would be great. ~ 13:25, 14 April 2012 (UTC)


 * We once had trailers on the main page. I took them off because the page was getting crowded. I think the best bet is to look on YouTube, where (almost) nothing ever goes away.-- 13:50, April 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Were just the links deleted? If just the links were, they still might be on the server. However, if the whole video got deleted, it won't be here (Which I would not see why it would be deleted, hardly any regular images get deleted). ~ 02:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if ths is what you're looking for, but its from last May. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh3rFsv_WSE

Also, I think we should add the promo trailer for the upcoming episode on the main page. Unless there isn't really a good place for that. 03:08, April 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I saw that and it was not it. I guess it really is nowhere to be found. That is the long preview version. You can tell it was old since the song played was waay different from the final song (a classic). The one that I cannot find ANYWHERE is the one that sort of ends like this one and it is only about 30 seconds long. I guess everyone deleted those. It is like in the style of the current promos for "America's Got Talent." The only difference is that the preview for Grimm did not give a date. I also they did this for "Prime Suspect." ~ 03:18, 15 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The Trailer Ice found on youtube was the very first one, IIRC; I changed it a couple of time as trailers for newer episodes became available. One week I couldn't get a good link to a trailer. The trailer links were all to files on other servers. I just don't remember the one Artie's referring to. I moved the Helping out box to the right column and shortened the summaries in the blogs from 200 to 150 characters. That leaves room for the trailer in the left column where it used to be. I'd say put it above the nav boxes. BTW, I wish I had never started that poll. I thought we'd have an answer long before now. If we don't get an answer in the next five weeks, it goes anyway.-- 15:24, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * There aren't many choices for this weeks promo trailer. There is this one from youtube with a watermark advertising someone's account, and then there is this one from NBC. Its the best one, but I dont know if we can use it on here. 17:16, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * The youtube one comes up quicker and you can use the youtube tags.-- 17:22, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I put the video above the poll because it seemed like if I put it somewhere else, then it messed up the page, or at least in the preview. I don't know if this is the best place for it, so go ahead and move it where you want it. 20:04, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know the "how," but could it be incorporated into Template:Next (without blowing up the template)? Don't be afraid to experiment. As always, comments from other as well are welcome.-- 20:11, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Cool!-- 20:22, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Think it looks good? 20:24, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * VERY good. BTW, I really want to know what's going on in that final scene in all the trailers where Nick's holding a shotgun. I guess that's why the call it suspense.-- 20:27, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * They have to make us interested in the episode somehow, I guess. 20:29, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Non-screencap Photos
Hello, It has come to my attention while looking at the recent activity that Icealien has been uploading a lot of photos. Most of them have been related to the next upcoming episode, which is fine. However, I saw some images that were uploaded earlier today that appear to be taken on set. I suspect that because the image's metadata says it was taken about 2 months ago and with a camera. I am not trying to get Icealien banned or anything, I am just wondering if this is taking "fair-use" over the top. He also did not specify where he obtained the photos. ~ 03:59, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I got the pcs from here: http://www.chevronone.com/tv/grimm-episode-1-18-cat-and-mouse-promotional-photographs-including-spoilers/ the article says there are spoilers, but its only the press release. All the NBC promotional pictures have a metadate from a couple months ago. The promotional pics I've uploaded for, , and are like that. If its taking fair use over the top, then I'm sorry. Go ahead and delete them. -- <font face=Verdana> Ice  Contribs  Talk  04:25, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, here's my take. Production (promotional) stills are taken by a still photographer standing near the camera used to shoot the episode. They are high quality images which don't quite fit into the doctrine of Fair Use. The images are released to the news media to help entice potential viewers. After the episode airs, they become nearly valueless. We do not fit into the definition of news media. I suspect NBC and the other networks put up with wikis because we're basically harmless; they typically disavow any relationship with third party web sites, although that may be to cover themselves.

Promo stills are acceptable before an episode airs because they promote viewership and participation in this wiki. After airing, they need to be replaced by screenshots because the screenshots depict what actually aired and because the quality of the screenshots fits Fair Use.

Please ask others who wish to provide input to do it here.

If I've gotten any of this wrong, let me know.

Thanks,

-- 19:23, April 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * In reality, when it all comes down to it, Fair Use comes down to money. If NBC, etc., is not losing any money by images being posted from the show, then they're not going to care. In the case of this Wiki, it's just the opposite.  This Wiki and images can only help to promote the show, which is in NBC's favor. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 21:06, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Inter-season
I saw that you made a list of things to do in between seasons, and another thing we could probably do is get rid of a lot of the articles. There's a lot that can just have the content moved to whatever episode they appeared in's co-star or object pages for example. 15:40, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice. If you go to Lostpedia, they have articles for everything that ever lived or maybe didn't, got picked up or didn't... Well, you get the idea. That didn't necessarily improve things! List updated.-- 17:58, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Another inter-season thing we could do, if its possible, is to have a category automatically be added to images if a license isn't added. Just something like "Category:Unlicensed image" or something like that. We also need to get User:Big Time Anubis to add licenses to their images... 05:35, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Infantrymen
Hi, Jim!

While I think it would be best to get a second opinion from Sprachkind, here's my conclusion:


 * Infantrie (-r): infantry
 * Fußtruppe (-n): foot troops
 * Infanterist (-en): foot soldier or infantryman

Thus, "infantrymen" would be Infanteristen.

Hope that helps, <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 03:14, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, the above is correct except for the infanty spelling+plural. The terms in both languages are actually very parallel: Infanterie, -n "infantry", Infanterist, -en "infantryman", vs. Fußtruppe, -n "foot troops", Fußsoldat, -en "foot soldier". So all of these terms can be used just like their English counterparts are. ~ Sprachkind 13:24, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks to both.-- 13:29, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ha, looks like my eyes failed me as I read -r instead of -n on that plural (my Wörterbuch clearly says -r, so that was definitely an error on my part and not on the part of my sources!); glad you caught that! I hope Sprachkind doesn't mind proofreading all of our butcherings of the language!

Trolls
I talked to Ice about this. Quote: "Hi. I was wondering why we have separate pages for Trolls and Haesslich (i cant get the Umlaut so i added an "e"). They're the same thing, and if you say that Haesslich is a Reaper and Trolls are the species, then i'd find that inconsistent because all of the species names are German and Troll isn't. Yes, the Grimm guide says that Reapers and Haesslich are synonymous, but they never list Trolls as a species. I'm thinking that being borne a Haesslich means you're automatically borne into being a Reaper. Sort of confusing, but i thinkwe should find why we have two of basically the same pages under different names.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Roacher26 (talk • contribs) " Roacher26 02:06, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah. One was yellowish, and the other three were pale white. Maybe reapers is actually an Organization, consisting mainly (but not entirely) of Hässlichen. Roacher26 06:05, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

I guess the reapers are just different looking than Sal is, but it seems like they're both Hässlich, or at least most reapers are. I was just looking at NBC's Grimm Guide and that's basically how they put it. 18:02, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

I have to occasionally remind myself that it ain't my wiki. Put the picture you like in the infobox and see what people say. I'll stay out of the discussion.

Grimms and Creatures
For the episode articles, should we just change the section to "Wesen" or something like that? Or "Grimms and Wesen" and just add Nick to every page? I think it would be better to just make the section "Wesen" since that all we ever list under that section, and we dont call them "creatures" like we did early in the season. 03:01, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm amazed that I didn't notice that. The section has had more than one title already.  I think the original idea was to describe the events that advanced the mythology.

Infobox recurring character
Please provide comments here:

I think the new infobox looks really good. 20:08, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nice! My two cents-- "Species" has a very meaningful biological definition, and we don't need to confuse the issue further by implying they're species. That's why we've got people asking about evolution, since different species of similar creatures would have to have diverged from one another via adaptations and mutations.
 * At this point, we know that Wesen seem to rather consistantly have two sides-- a creature side and a human side-- and that these can be isolated, at least in Hexenbiester. We also haven't been privileged enough to hear yet whether Grimms are Wesen. So that said, I think we need to adopt a new understanding of Wesen as enchanted humans. It is understood that a Wesen's offspring exhibit the same Wesen type, so perhaps this is a curse on entire families and all their descendents.
 * That said, "species" doesn't cut it anymore. Something less implicative, such as "type", would be a more accurate choice.
 * Also, the dagger symbol † is a standard in English works for indicating someone in a list is no longer living. Placing a dagger to the left of a relative's name takes up much less space in an infobox, and it makes it easier to read the list quickly. So this would read:

† Reed Burkhardt, father

† Kelly Burkhardt, mother

† Marie Kessler, aunt

Juliette Silverton, girlfriend


 * instead of:

Reed Burkhardt, father (deceased)

Kelly Burkhardt, mother (deceased)

Marie Kessler, aunt (deceased)

Juliette Silverton, girlfriend


 * Yes? No? Thoughts on either point? <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 21:42, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Did some quick fact-checking since I just made a claim about the daggers-- apparently that's only in military history and taxonomy, not biographical stuff. However, I'd be all for using some kind of shorted notation for deceased individuals that isn't as intrusive. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 21:48, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Good on both. The original box, which I copied/cloned from Wikia's box had "race" -- as in Human, Orc, Elf -- but that was a potential minefield. "Species" was the best thing I could think of at the time. Using the dagger can get tied up in religion (looks like a cross). How about:


 * Reed Burkhardt, father


 * Kelly Burkhardt, mother


 * Marie Kessler, aunt


 * Juliette Silverton, girlfriend


 * Syntax is Name or Name


 * -- 22:00, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've heard claims that the dagger symbol in that context isn't related to the cross, but I've seen no evidence in that claim's favor. Anyway, I agree that it could create confusion, making it appear the individual with the dagger notation is Christian, so an alternate solution would be optimal. The strikethrough unfortunately obscures letters like "e". Perhaps there's a single character or small bitmap we can use. I'll look around and see if I can't find something useful. <span style="font-family:linux libertine o, times; font-variant:small-caps">Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 22:07, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * First, "species" is now "type". Second, at least for the time being, let's have one symbol. Death has a nice image that points out that the skull is symbolic of death. D (for Dead) lets us use a single character template. This is only for infoboxes and navboxes. I set the width of the image to 14px; less impact on line spacing.-- 00:42, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

There is no point in stating whether someone died because of murder or naturally (if someone wants that info, they can just click on the name).

Two glitches showed up this morning.
 * First was that the width of the groups (the blue labels on the left) was dynamic. If there were no relationships, the column got smaller, messing up the display. I think that's now fixed.
 * Second was that I forgot that we'd need two images for recurring Wesen. The "Navbox" format has a section called "above" and one called "below." The "image" (now "humanimage") is in above. I put "wesenimage" in below. If that's a non-starter, let me know. This season's stars are done. I'm going to format Rosalee next and let it sit for a day.-- 13:54, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

I can't move the bottom picture up without rewriting the underlying Navbox template; that one is WAY outside my skill level.-- 17:42, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * One thing I noticed is that the new infobox doesn't automatically add the species category like the old infobox. For example Monroe's infobox doesn't automatically add Category:Blutbad. 00:03, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I missed that; it's fixed.  The type has to be entered without the brackets because the template does that.  BTW, there's a lot of stuff we can make templates do, but casual users don't necessarily understand the functionality and that leads me to waffle.-- 00:39, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Wesen infobox
Do you think we should make a new infobox for recurring wesen like we did for characters? We could use it for species like Blutbad, Fuchsbau, Eisbiber, Hässlich, and Hexenbiest. I may have missed one or two, but I'm sure more will be added to the list next season. 00:50, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably. Maybe call it "recurring types" and, for completeness, include Grimms and Humans.  Funny you should ask, btw.  I'm working on a new character box in Sandbox 1.  My thought is that the new character box would replace both the character and creature boxes.  The entry in "type" would drive the categories.  It's definitely in draft.  Over the long haul, I'd like all the boxes to have the same look and feel.-- 01:07, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * It definitely would be nice to use the same infobox for ALL characters.... - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 12:28, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
