Re: Hai
Hey, I just read your post. You're impressed? *_* I'm touched :') ... It's true, I did make an Arabic Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki (http://ar.yugioh.wikia.com) but I didn't get around to do anything with it. Honestly, I'm not sure what to do with it so I just left it as it is... empty. I have 2 accounts there, Melik el-Al'ab (this one) and ملك الألعاب which is basically just "Melik el-Al'ab" in Arabic :P -- Al-Malik ملك الألعاب 19:56, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Moroccan? Wow, that's cool :) I'm from Saudi Arabia. So I guess this is East Arab meets West Arab :P Anyway, feel free to help out on this wiki. Please try to think deeply when giving Arabic names to cards. I know it's exciting, but making up quick names does more harm than good ;) Feel free to ask me anytime you're not sure about something. Also, don't forget to add the "Unofficial Name" tag above the card box. I don't suppose you have experience creating Wikis? In that case I can give you permission to experiment in my Arabic Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki since it's empty at this point ;P See you around! -- Melik el-Al'ab ملك الألعاب 11:48, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Hydronic, always nice to see another translator hard at work. =) If you find you need any help with Unofficial name, please don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks! =) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 06:42, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Impressive :O
First of all, I apologize for being so late to reply. Second of all, I have to say I'm impressed by your notes! You make very excellent and valid points. Please give me some time to reply to all of them. :) -- Melik el-Al'ab ملك الألعاب 13:04, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Different Dimension
I guess those names were translated before I started paying attention to Archetypes, so your point is valid.

I agree that we should follow D.D. Crow's translation. Although, technically Warrior and Warrior Lady do have البعد المختلف in their names, but like I said I wasn't paying attention to the other Different Dimension cards, so they should probably be changed. محارب البُعد المختلف and محاربة البُعد المختلف are more appropriate, as you've said.

As for Different Dimension Dragon, the name given التّنّين مختلف الأبعاد was the one used in the Anime, hence the "official" name, which usually has increased priority. However, I have a policy of overruling the official name in case of a problem, such as conserving Archetype names. In this case, your suggestion is valid. The procedure is to change the name to a correct one, add the Unofficial Tag, and note in the Card Names page both the Official and Unofficial names and reason for change. I'll do that for Different Dimension Dragon as soon as I finish writing this. I'll reply to your other comments shortly :) -- Melik el-Al'ab ملك الألعاب 13:13, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
