Hutt River

"His area is marked by organized and cleanly facilities, making him more developed in comparison to other micronations. He speaks with a sense of formality and importance, though is apparently prone to giving unclear answers and postponed decisions." I'm not entirely sure where this is from? :/ -FH14 13:12, 24 November 2011 (EST)

The first sentence was supposed to say "and he is more developed [...]". Wy notes that he area is extremely organized and clean, and character notes under the Hutt chibi says he's more developed than other micronations. The speaking thing came from his speech patterns (etiquette and superiority and all), and from Sealand's comment about how he seemed important. It should probably be rewritten to reflect that more. The postponed decisions/unclear answers come from his delayed decision; Wy says that she knew he would say that. I took it to mean he was generally like that, but it might be better to just mention the specific case. Watermint 13:25, 24 November 2011 (EST)

Ah okay that makes sense! I thought there might be character notes I was missing or something. (Oh and apparently there's more Hutt River info in a new blog entry? Though Google Translate garbles it and I can't really tell what it says). -FH14 13:30, 24 November 2011 (EST)

I've made some changes to Hutt's page. Your sandbox is getting so long! Any characters that you think are good to go? Gah, that Google Translation is terrible. Is it saying that that is an early Hutt design maybe? (Also...Kugelmugel! I think it's a she, but I don't knoooooow.) Watermint 13:35, 24 November 2011 (EST)

I'm waffling back and forth on whether or not Cameroon is ready. I think Hutt River is basically ready though I'd like to wait to see if we can get the info those blog notes included first. The Australia-New Zealand relationships don't seem to have enough info at this point to merit relationship listings though (Australia probably should have Wy listed however). The translator who initially used male pronouns but corrected themselves stated that Himaruya used all gender-neutral words when referring to them so looks like we may have another case of New Zealand on our hands. :S -FH14 14:00, 24 November 2011 (EST)

I could see Cameroon being ready, as well as Hutt. I feel we should wait a bit more for New Zealand, just to see if we can get a gender for them. Using "they" a bunch of times feels awkward. I predict that NZ is male and Kugel female, but we never know with Hima. Hopefully we can stick to one gender-neutral character at a time...Maybe he'll provide some character notes on the new micros soon and clear it up. At this point, Australia will probably be ready when New Zealand is. Watermint 14:29, 24 November 2011 (EST)

According to Babelfish, it was an early design. Then something about one of the designs being influenced by Australia? Watermint 14:31, 24 November 2011 (EST)

I got a translation of that blog post. It seems it is an early design, and he was originally influenced by Australia. Can we make the page now? Watermint 15:38, 24 November 2011 (EST)

Yeah let's run it past Icelilly first. I think Cameroon is ready too since his article is maybe one sentence shorter than Vietnam's. -FH14 15:43, 24 November 2011 (EST)

Okay! Cameroon should be okay to add now; Icelilly already said she thought it was ready. Watermint 15:46, 24 November 2011 (EST)

I've got Molossia to about the same length as Cameroon. Another contender? Watermint 16:05, 24 November 2011 (EST)

We're on the same wavelength. I was just typing that on this page. -FH14 16:08, 24 November 2011 (EST)

XD Haha. I'm currently working on Ladonia. I'll try Kugel and Niko next. Though Niko probably doesn't have a shot, and Kugel is still ambiguous. Watermint 16:20, 24 November 2011 (EST)

Translation says Kugel is male. Himaaaaa D: Well, at least it's easier to write the article...Also, Ladonia may be a contender soon. Watermint 16:44, 24 November 2011 (EST)

Which translation? -FH14 16:51, 24 November 2011 (EST)

Here. There's also some more notes on Ladonia, as well as a colored image. Watermint 16:56, 24 November 2011 (EST)

The translation has been updated. There's some really interesting information about the creation of nations. Unless there is a translation error, it basically says personifications were once human. Regardless, they all have the ability to switch back. This may create plotholes. Watermint 18:04, 24 November 2011 (EST) User_talk:FH14/Sandbox#Kugelmugel -FH14 05:41, 10 January 2012 (EST)

Appearances List

Hey! I'm sorry if you're busy and I'm bugging you like this but I did a quick sandbox with that appearances list idea you brought up a few weeks back and we could use your opinions, ideas and comments on it. Wisnia really likes it but FH14 is still a bit unsure. I remember us chatting and saying that including the strips could be tedious and crowded but I've changed my position on it and I think it could be a good idea for anyone who looking for strips with their favourite character. I did a sandbox for a possible Iceland page (seen here). Below the Iceland mockup is what a possible full page would look like. Hope to hear from you soon! Icelilly 16:13, 19 January 2012 (EST)

I like it! It encompasses everything we need and could be very useful. You've got my support. Watermint 04:28, 13 February 2012 (EST)

Thanks Mint! Is there anything that needs to be improved on? (Just curious) Icelilly 08:51, 13 February 2012 (EST)

Not at this point, IMO. I think it works well. Watermint 09:16, 17 February 2012 (EST)

Nice to have you back!

I was from the old wiki too, and I love the work and thought you put into your copy-editing. How have things been going? It seems like the return of Himaruya has brought back interest for quite a few of us, and having time to edit helps too I suppose :) MetalPapillion (talk) 16:34, 8 November 2013 (CST)

Thank you for the compliment! I've been a bit off the radar as of late. (Okay, it's been a year or two.) A mixture of inactivity on Himaruya's part and my university classes had my focus elsewhere. But I never did forget Hetalia and am glad to be here again! I am happy to see you here as well. Watermint (talk) 16:36, 8 November 2013 (CST)
