Welcome back

I can't think of any recent major changes. You should have no problem continuing to contribute. :) The Honorable 17:47, 26 February 2008 (EST)

• If the sites provide some useful information, and aren't just come-ons for membership sites, they should be okay. The Honorable 20:09, 27 February 2008 (EST)
  • If it's related to big breasts, it is probably a suitable subject for an article. :) The Honorable 17:20, 1 March 2008 (EST)

I agree with you about movie posters and video covers in a filmography -- I can't imagine any video producers objecting to using covers for that. The Honorable 17:38, 2 March 2008 (EST)

Big-Bust genre directors articles!

Sounds fine to me. I'm kind of embarrassed that we don't have a Russ Meyer article already... :) The Honorable 16:27, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Good-- here comes Satoru Kobayashi! Dekkappai 16:27, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Images and stuff

I think that image size warning is a default MediaWiki thing. Unless you're uploading images that are several megs, you're probably okay.

Also, I notice that those Flickr images are Creative Commons-licensed, so they should be fine for use over here.

And let me know if you sneak a Boobpedia article into Wikipedia. :) The Honorable 19:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

Format of external links

Please see Help talk:Contents#Format of external links -Biguns 19:59, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Hi, and thanks for the pointer, Biguns. Actually, I try to always use the {{cite}} template in my editing. I assume you're referring to my additions at Rachel Aldana? The Wikipedia article on this subject is probably going to be deleted. She's not in my normal area of editing interest, but I saw some good links at the Wiki article which we did not have, so I did a quick cut & paste job, trusting that regular editors there would patch it up. My BP-editing time is extremely limited, so I wanted to put as much time as I could into researching the Japanese/Asian area which is my principle interest. Hope you understand. Cheers! Dekkappai 20:13, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

You've opened 2 other discussions about this. :-) Let's just talk about it in the aforementioned link from now on. -Biguns 20:38, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

OK, Biguns. Dekkappai 20:40, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Akira Takatsuki

hi dekk, i'll shoot Akira Takatsuki an email and see if he wants to get involved. thanks for the information and for your excellent work on BP. --Hexvoodoo 20:33, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

DVD covers

No problem. I'll try to control my urge to prune unused images. :) The Honorable 18:51, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

• I don't think there's any way to just rename image files with MediaWiki -- they have to be re-uploaded with the correct name. The Honorable 15:40, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Greetings Dekkappai

Domo Arigato! Dekkappai... Is a good new your return, in this field (gravure and idols) still remains a lot by including... Greetings and hands to the work.--Kamui99 13:03, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Yes, i don't dominate very well the English, i'm from Monterrey, Mexico, by that i use very terms no transliterated from the spanish, sorry.--Kamui99 21:21, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

Protected Amazon link

I assume Hexvoodoo protected it to keep anyone from adding their own affiliate code to the link. I think the protect tags only work if certain people use them -- and it's not an automatic admin thing, because they didn't work for me at first. The Honorable 20:05, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Archiving articles

Unfortunately, archiving other sites' articles is probably a bad idea, for obvious copyright reasons. The Honorable 19:17, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Hey, if it was up to me, I'd have no problem with it. :) The Honorable 18:57, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Japanese "metric" cup sizes

Hi Dekkappai,

I wrote a bra size template, but I have no idea how to convert these "metric" cup sizes. I saw that you contributed most of the information on Japanese models here. Can you help me? Here's the template:

Template:Bra size

Please read the Usability section about the metric cups. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks and regards

Prophecy 21:08, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Hi Dekappai,

thanks for your reply! Well, measurements like in Aki Tomosaki's Moodyz profile are just perfect! If only all the magazines worked this way (including American and European)... Sometimes they give the real bust measurements, and sometimes the underbust, together with waist and hip, which is useless for a correct bust-waist-hip or a bra size calculation.

I just saw that you sent me a second answer while I was writing. Did not read the link you gave me so far, because I was calculating if Aki's measurements were really correct. And it's perfect! This is the first Japanese big bust model of whom I ever got the correct bra size! Just look here, it's a normal shop site with advice for women how to calculate their bra size from bust and underbust measurements: Pampered Passions. I followed the instructions exactly with the 70 and 100 cms from her profile, converted them into inches without cutting the numbers - Her cup size is a perfect and real G like stated in the Moodyz profile! And her bra size is 32G.

As it's you work - would you mind if I added her bra size to your article using my template? You have given "H metric" there - which does not correspond to all the other metric cup sizes sometimes given, because normally they differ a lot from European cup sizes. But 32G is really sensible, I would have estimated her this way too. I'd add a reference and explain how her bra sizes was calculated. I know, this is Boobpedia, and everybody can change articles, but I have respect for the work of others and don't want to disturb any "rules" of your articles which I did not know.

Thanks again

Prophecy

Thanks. You did not add a reference, so I could not see where you got the H cup from. But anyway, a cup size is never static. I personally know women who wear everything from F to H, depending on the brand, the band size and the country the bra comes from...

BUT: I think we have found the proof that all this "metric" stuff is nothing other than normal cup sizes! I never understood the difference anyway. 34 is inches and 75 is metric cms, this is clear. But as for a cup size, they seem to be all the same, with regional and brand differences perhaps. I think this is why I found absolutely nothing on "normal" discussion boards where women wanted to buy a bra in Japan - the answer was always the same: Cup sizes are just like in other countries.

I also think that the difference between some Japanese cup sizes and the "real" cup size we might estimate exists simply because some photographers and producers 1. do not know anything about bra sizes (I know several who admitted this) 2. a few cups bigger always sells better. As if Fuko was less attractive if they wrote her real bra size... P is unreal and nonsense, but she does have at least a wonderful H, I or K cup.

Best regards

Prophecy 19:18, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Oh... I just noticed that the "G" in her Moodyz profile does not mean her cup size. I thought so. My bad... But anyway, G is correct. :-)

Prophecy 19:34, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

That's exactly why I left the "metric" entry for Aki untouched, but added her "real" bra size to the measurements field. :-) Prophecy 16:57, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

AV idols

As you know more about the subject than I do, however you want to organize the categories is fine. The Honorable 23:50, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Image question

I suggest doing it like the thumbnails on the front page -- in the description for the front covers, put a redirect to the higher quality image. The Honorable 20:32, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Put #REDIRECT [[Image:HigherQualityImageName.jpg]] as the only text in the image's description, and clicking on the image in the article should take the reader to Image:HigherQualityImageName.jpg. The Honorable 22:11, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Ethical dilemma

As long as there are plenty of busty women featured in the series, your plan sounds fine. :) The Honorable 20:05, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

• And if they're busty transsexuals...then what will you do? :) The Honorable 20:02, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

Filmography at Fuko's and other pages.

Hi Dekkapai,

congratulations for your thoroughness! I just stumbled across Fuko's site again and noticed the filmography. Please have a look at my Userpage and at a more recent table I created on {{Biobox new}}. I know that the Boobpedia CSS is lacking vertical column borders, but I managed to create some at the {{Biobox new}} page. Perhaps we should think of standardising the tables in your filmographies too? I'd be happy to be of assistance.

I also saw that you asked how to make the pictures clickable in your tables. On my Userpage every picture is clickable, as everywhere on Boobpedia. I do not quite understand why you added the |thumb parameter to your cover photos. Is there a certain plan behind it? I think the frames take more place as if the photos were just there, without frames. They would remain clickable anyway.

Regards

Prophecy 12:13, 31 May 2008 (EDT)

Well, concerning the tables - you are the only one who managed to get vertical lines in your tables so far :-))) It's a bug or something in the Boobpedia formatting CSS, but Hexvoodoo (who would have the rights to change it) isn't there most of the time. My style of having vertical borders/lines is quite complicated, and if you are writing your articles offline, the possibility of having layout problems when you upload your articles is quite high. But perhaps I'll write something like a how-to-guide some day. It would be quite easy if we were allowed to define classes. You would only have to take your tables, write class = "Boobpedia special fancy boobstable" in it, and the layout would change. But so far, we have to be satisfied with workarounds...

Ah, by the way: I extended the {{Bra size}} template so that it can handle "E metric" and stuff now. Perhaps you would also like to have a look at the simplified {{Bra}} template. You can just type {{bra|E metric}}, and the result is E metric. :-)

Concerning thumbs: I've searched for this too, because I'd like to have clickable thumbs on my user page that lead to the model's page, like you with your covers. As far as I have tested this, neither the redirect nor other versions work. They don't on Wikipedia either, there's an article about this. Perhaps I did it wrong; I'll let you know if I find a solution. The problem is: Boobpedia's software isn't up to date. Many tricks I'd like to program for templates, for example, don't work, as the Wikipedia features aren't implemented in Boobpedia yet. Again, let's wait for Hexvoodoo...

I also think we should have clearer categories so that people can find your lists easier. That is a project I'll start with template categories first.

Have a nice day and thanks for your feedback

Prophecy

fyi

hi dekk, i have started a discussion about the direction of boobpedia here. as you have lots of experience with editing on wikipedia, please have a read and give your input, thanks! --Hexvoodoo 17:24, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
