X4B profile @ WtW
It's あまた as in "many; numerous, etc" instead of あたま, "head". Just a really small thing I wanted to point out.--Ainz ( talk 13:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, looks like I looked through too fast. Thanks for pointing that out! :> Though my lousy translations are mostly to give people a rough idea until Kryten gets his better translations done, lol --Garmmon 14:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

神馬
wwwjdic gives "神馬 【しんめ】 (n) sacred horse; ED ", and japedia uses the same.

Is this specified in the kana for the SXW profile, or something?KrytenKoro06 07:34, 25 March 2011 (CDT)
 * The profile just uses plain hiragana: http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/4171/x4bprofile.png --Garmmon 07:51, 25 March 2011 (CDT)
 * Well, that is bizarre. Thanks for catching that, and if any of the other Mode transcriptions were off, feel free to change them.KrytenKoro06 08:30, 25 March 2011 (CDT)
 * I actually read it as 'shinba' too before noticing the dictionary's pronunciations, lol. But yeah, I've gone through the XW Digimon and made any corrections I could find. --Garmmon 10:19, 25 March 2011 (CDT)

Transcribed profiles
Hello, thanks again for all the Battle Chronicle profiles! If time permits, would it also be possible to transcribe the profiles of Psychemon and Cho·Hakkaimon at the TV Asahi site? --Grandy02 10:22, 1 December 2011 (CST)
 * I've posted the transcribed profiles at their respective talk pages :) --Garmmon 11:31, 1 December 2011 (CST)

Brave Tamer sprites
Hello, thanks for uploading the many sprites. Regarding the Brave Tamer sprites, I noticed that basically all of them (except for the new Digimon, of course) are identical to the D1 Tamers sprites (as seen here). The sprites at that site are in slightly different shades, the same goes for the English version Anode/Cathode Tamer sprites (Spriters Resource) I uploaded before I discovered that site. I think it would be best to label them all as D1 Tamers, or do you think those slightly different shades should all be treated as separate sprites? --Grandy02 14:26, 25 April 2013 (CDT)
 * No problem :) I think the slightly different shades aren't all that noticeable, and most people who browse this site probably wouldn't mind them too much so I'd say just use any one version of each sprite instead of having all the different shaded sprites. I'm also not entirely sure whether all the sprites I uploaded are from Brave Tamer or D-1 Tamers, since I ripped them a long time ago I think and just stuffed them in the same folder, so yeah I think we can just label them as D-1 Tamers. --Garmmon 06:17, 26 April 2013 (CDT)

Just a question, you added the Whamon sprites to the page of the Adult version, is that confirmed? I don't know about D-Project, but the sections added to Whamon Perfect's page would imply that at least in the Ryo games, it is Perfect. --Grandy02 08:42, 28 April 2013 (CDT)
 * My bad, I didn't realise Whamon referred to the Adult Whamon. I'll go change them now --Garmmon 10:04, 28 April 2013 (CDT)

New Digimon
Hey, can you spread the news to other users that there is a silhouette of a new Digimon on Digisoul.net? You can find the latest news by clicking on the News tab and scrolling down below the MagnaKidmon update and you will be able to find the new Digimon silhouette.

Sincerely, Kevin
 * You could just directly tell the admins in charge of the news... Anyway it's not confirmed/has a proper name yet or anything, I'm sure that when it's confirmed and its appearance/name are actually revealed it will be reported in the news section. --Garmmon (talk) 06:36, 16 June 2013 (CDT)

Lilithmon Profiles
Hello! Could you please check this and this? Thank you very much in advance. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 20:04, 30 July 2016 (CDT)
 * done! --Garmmon (talk) 00:59, 31 July 2016 (CDT)

So that I can update them on Digimon Wiki
Do you have a record of which profiles you've corrected?KrytenKoro06 (talk) 08:27, 16 August 2016 (CDT)
 * Lighdramon, Neptunemon, Orochimon, Gokuwmon. Hope I didn't miss anything (I had to dig through my own edits to find them haha). If you see any edits you disagree with feel free to bring it up! --Garmmon (talk) 09:08, 16 August 2016 (CDT)
 * On Chackmon, you translated "誰にも頼られないと" as "if it does not receive any orders". The closest example I can find for this phrase is here, which translates it as "not relied on or trusted upon by anybody". Would "It will have nothing to do if nobody is relying on it" work for you?KrytenKoro06 (talk) 09:26, 16 August 2016 (CDT)
 * '頼る' does mean 'to rely on' in general, but I changed that line because it was referring to the previous line which states '自分から行動することは稀で、主として誰かの頼みや命令に応えて動く. '(Since it rarely acts of its own volition, it primarily operates in response to someone's requests or orders.) The 頼られない in the next line is directly referring to that line (since it rarely acts of its own volition, so when it doesn't receive any requests or orders, it worries about its purpose in life), so I changed it to make it flow from the previous sentence; 'It will have nothing to do if nobody is relying on it' is a more literal translation, so it comes down to translation styles preferring more literal vs more idiomatic. I'm more idiomatic myself but if you prefer more literal do feel free to change it! It's hard to strike a balance sometimes --Garmmon (talk) 09:59, 16 August 2016 (CDT)
 * I get that. I feel like using "rely" allows for a more general case (since it "primarily" operating allows for it to sometimes act on its own), and changes up the words being used to avoid repetition.KrytenKoro06 (talk) 15:36, 17 August 2016 (CDT)
 * In that case feel free to edit if you feel any of my edits/translations can be phrased better :) I'm not super good at English writing myself --Garmmon (talk) 08:18, 18 August 2016 (CDT)
 * For Neptunemon, I believe Blue Digizoid is mentioned in a clause that defines the Chrome Digizoid, which is the subject of the verb できて. Also, 海中 seems to be used for boats as well, which would imply that Neptunemon can travel at great speed even when not submerged. Would "The Scalemail which covers Neptunemon's body is made of Chrome Digizoid that has been transformed into "Blue Digizoid", which excels in agility, so it is capable of moving at terrifying speeds at sea." work for you?KrytenKoro06 (talk) 10:34, 25 August 2016 (CDT)
 * It's true that the profile is defining 'Chrome Digizoid' that has been turned into Blue Digizoid, I just changed it because I thought the original sentence was phrased awkwardly :p I think your rephrasing works (though I'd change 'The Scalemail which covers' to 'The Scalemail covering' just to avoid the double which). btw i've changed Skull Mammon and Gaioumon as well, if you'd like to check --Garmmon (talk) 12:00, 25 August 2016 (CDT)

Digimon Xros Loader
Hello Garmmon. I have gathered information about each leader and subordinate in the Digimon Xros Loader and I wanted to make a table similar to what you've done for different sets of cards (See: Super Digica Taisen Set 1 for instance) including this information. Could you help me doing this table? I have seen that there are some templates involved. Thank you in advance.         --Shadow Shinji (talk) 18:44, 5 October 2016 (CDT)
 * Hi! I'm not really the best person to ask about templates since I'm not too knowledgeable about creating them, haha..Ainz is responsible for doing most of the work to make the SDT card list template work the way it does now, so maybe you could check with Ainz instead? Sorry! I could probably come up with a basic table if I have time, but I haven't looked into and am not too sure about how the current card list template works if that is how you want the table to be formatted. --Garmmon (talk) 09:21, 6 October 2016 (CDT)
 * No problem thanks a lot. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 12:27, 7 October 2016 (CDT)

Kozenimon
Hello Garmmon. Do you know the meaning in English of Kozenimon's attack "Itchi Dan Ketsu" (イッチ・ダン・ケツ)? I've found this extract but I'm not sure if it is related somehow or not. Thanks in advance. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 12:12, 3 November 2016 (CDT)
 * イッチ・ダン・ケツ is a katakana spelling of 一致団結 (Icchidanketsu), which means 'many people working together to achieve a common cause' (not sure if there's a better/shorter way to phrase it, haven't gone to think about it). Skimming through the dictionary profile, it also states Kozenimon's Icchidanketsu attack involves a whole bunch of Kozenimon charging at the opponent. Hope this helps! --Garmmon (talk) 01:27, 4 November 2016 (CDT)
 * Thank you! I've added the information onto the page. :) --Shadow Shinji (talk) 08:12, 4 November 2016 (CDT)

List of Mythological References in Digimon
Just wondering, does your list include direct references to different mythology like Wisemon's book and the Deva's symbols, weapons? I've added a link on the Misc tab on the Main Page so it can be placed alongside the pop culture and Lovecraft stuff. --Ainz ( talk 20:24, 5 November 2016 (CDT)
 * Ah I have the Devas under Hindu/Buddhism, I don't have Wisemon yet though and I'm not sure if I'm missing any other Digimon too. o: Haha I don't mind turning it into an actual page, but most of the descriptions I just c&p'd from Wikipedia so I'm not sure if that part needs a bit of cleaning up :p --Garmmon (talk) 01:06, 6 November 2016 (CST)

Black Seraphimon
Do you kmow the meaning of this 黒翼堕翼? It is a title given to Black Seraphimon in Digimon Collectors, but no idea what can refer to. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 12:06, 31 March 2017 (CDT)
 * It literally means 'Black Wings, Fallen Wings'. Black and Fallen Wings? I can't think of a nicer way to phrase this atm... --Garmmon (talk) 12:33, 31 March 2017 (CDT)
 * Oh I see. Do you think that this is a title for Black Seraphimon, or just some random words put together? I wonder that, cause Ophanimon FM received the "Fallen Holy Mother" title in a similar event from Collectors. Thanks Garm. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 13:46, 31 March 2017 (CDT)
 * No prob; I tried searching it and from what I saw, it looks more like maybe an event subtitle or something? But I'm not the most help here because I've never played Collectors and don't really know the context, it could very well be a title too. --Garmmon (talk) 14:14, 31 March 2017 (CDT)

Ruler of the Night
Garm, could you translate the text in the card Oα-004 from the Alpha Evolve card game? It is the card where Grand Dracumon is depicted in front of his castle, and maybe there's something interesting about his lore. Thanks for reading :) --Shadow Shinji (talk) 11:16, 7 April 2017 (CDT)
 * I could, but there's absolutely nothing about his lore, it's all game mechanics :p --Garmmon (talk) 11:27, 7 April 2017 (CDT)
 * I see...what a wasted opportunity...Thanks anyways! --Shadow Shinji (talk) 05:49, 8 April 2017 (CDT)

Profiles Translation
Excuse me Garm, could you check the translation of the profiles of Mercuremon and Grottemon please? --Shadow Shinji (talk) 11:35, 12 April 2017 (CDT)
 * I did the best I could. Hope it helps! --Garmmon (talk) 12:11, 12 April 2017 (CDT)
 * Yes sure! :) --Shadow Shinji (talk) 10:20, 13 April 2017 (CDT)
 * Garm, could you please do a quick translation of the God Appmon Deusmon's profile? I'm trying to compile all the Titles of the 6 God Appmon we know so far. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 12:33, 17 April 2017 (CDT)
 * Done, hope it makes sense! --Garmmon (talk) 12:40, 17 April 2017 (CDT)

Lineart
Hey, where you get those linearts you just uploaded? Also, do you know where to get scans the Adventure and 02 BD booklets? I can't find anything no matter what I google. 16:07, 26 April 2017 (CDT)
 * They're from the Digimon Animation Chronicle. I'm reluctant to rip my book apart to scan so I can't get some of the stuff inside in good quality.. Sorry but I can't help with the BD booklets either, I don't own the BDs and I haven't really tried searching for them. --Garmmon (talk) 22:56, 26 April 2017 (CDT)

Alpha Options Template
Hey I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but under the Alpha and Battle Terminal Options cards, the page that usually links to date of release is being listed as date of manufacture (it is listed as date of release on all other card templates). I don't know exactly how to fix this in the template, so if you wouldn't mind correcting it when you get a chance. Sorry if you already knew about this. --Coatlmon (talk) 00:23, 18 July 2017 (EST)
 * I didn't realise actually! Thanks so much for pointing it out :) --Garmmon (talk) 00:26, 18 July 2017 (CDT)

LS-tou Zone
Hey Garmmon. About the LS-tou Zone that appears in Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue/Red, I've been wondering if the entire island map that appears in this games, refers to all the Zone itself, or this specific Zone only refers to a particular portion of this map (for example, the main hub where Taiki and co. arrive when they land into LS-tou Zone). So, in that case, "Legend-Swords-Island Zone" would be an accurate translation of LS-tou Zone, or it would refer instead to a tower but not to the whole island (as far as I'm concerned, "Tou" in Japanese may refer to both "Island" (島) or "Tower" (塔)). Thanks a lot! :) --Shadow Shinji (talk) 11:37, 29 July 2017 (CDT)
 * I'm more inclined towards 'island'..I believe the zone name refers to the entire island, but tbh I played SXW when it first came out and haven't touched it since then, so I really don't remember much about the game's story and mechanics. Sorry I can't be of more help! ;; --Garmmon (talk) 12:27, 29 July 2017 (CDT)
 * Okay thank you anyways!! I'm currently playing Red, and I'd say Island too, but dunno heheh It's good to hear other opinions :) --Shadow Shinji (talk) 13:07, 29 July 2017 (CDT)

Digimon Titles
Excuse me Garm, do you know the meaning of this kanji "神速の紅馬 Shinsoku no Beniuma"? I can understand something about Godly Crimson Horse, but I'm not sure at all. It is the titles that Sleipmon receives in Linkz. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 07:56, 25 August 2017 (CDT)
 * It's more like the "Swift Crimson Horse". --Ainz ( talk 08:01, 25 August 2017 (CDT)
 * Mmm I see, it makes sense. Thank you. --Shadow Shinji (talk) 08:13, 25 August 2017 (CDT)

Aegiomon's Chronicle
Excuse me Garm, do you know the translation of this 3 screenshots? Those are the only ones left in order to complete the main storyline of Crusader ^^--Shadow Shinji (talk) 17:12, 12 September 2017 (CDT)
 * 1: Aegiomon fell before Titamon's overwhelming might. 2: "Damn...how am I supposed to win against it..." 3: At that very moment, a single Digimon appeared before him. --Garmmon (talk) 01:18, 13 September 2017 (CDT)
 * Oh didn't see that till now! Thanks :) --Shadow Shinji (talk) 21:54, 18 September 2017 (CDT)

Piemon's Title
Hi Garm. Do you know by any chance the translation of this kanji "翻弄する道化師"? It's the name of the advent quest of Piemon in Digimon Linkz. The thing is that I'm not sure if this is meant to be a title for the clown (I've seen on Youtube this kanji translated as the "Trifling Clown"), or otherwise just something like "Trifling or Playing with the Clown" or alike. Interestingly enough, Google Translator translates it as "The Mad Coworker". Thanks in advance for your help :) --Shadow Shinji (talk) 16:59, 19 October 2017 (CDT)
 * I think "(The) Trifling Clown" sounds fine. In this context the clown is the one doing the trifling, not the one being trifled with. --Garmmon (talk) 04:05, 20 October 2017 (CDT)
 * Such a useful explanation! :) Thanks you! --Shadow Shinji (talk) 12:46, 20 October 2017 (CDT)

Magnamon
https://wikimon.net/index.php?title=Magnamon&diff=261544&oldid=252121

I'm a bit confused on this change, as the sentence does not appear to be using the normal "de naku" conjugation, so as far as I can tell the passage is just listing those attributes, rather than implying they contradict. Based on grammar examples like this (p10), I'm thinking a closer phrasing would be


 * It possesses tremendous defensive ability and offensive power equivalent or superior to that of an Ultimate Digimon, and it is also one of the "Royal Knights".KrytenKoro06 (talk) 15:56, 30 October 2017 (CDT)
 * 'not only' doesn't imply contradiction, just correlation. But anyway it sounds ok to me! I'd get rid of the 'it' in the last clause but that's a small issue. --Garmmon (talk) 23:38, 31 October 2017 (CDT)
