Google+ is shutting down. Help is needed to transfer the contents of all the information links.

I wanted to ask this because Google is discontinuing Google+ so will certain information from google+ need to be transfered?

Not saying I can exactly recall specific profiles or threads but I do vaguely remember some links on this site used google+ to show information. Thus that should probably be reviewed to make sure that they aren't lost forever.
 
Thank you. Where do you think that the contents of the Google+ links should be copied to?
 
I mean. We did a similar project with NarutoForums, no? We lost access to content and just posted it as blogposts. May as well do a similar thing here.
 
That might work, yes, but only the links we use in regular wiki profile pages need to be replaced.
 
Of course. Everything else can be saved by particular users if they have need of it.
 
I have a G+ account and I can help transfer the content here. I just do not guarantee that they will all be correct, I have never seen a correct calculation in the communities that I participate.
 
Ant linked all locations that link to Google+ above. If calcs aren't on there (as in pages, not things like wall posts/forum posts/etc) then we probably don't need it.
 
I'll start weeding through the second batch of 500 links, and blog anything that is relevant.
 
Well, we do not use Google+ calculations, but some of our profile pages link to information within Google+ posts.

These are the only things that need to be replaced. You can ignore any forums posts or similar that link to it.
 
I think i brought this up in the cleanup thread. Anyway im willing to help in any way i can.

Ill search through the first set starting from the bottom

I mean, 90% of the Dragon Ball Google+ links are wank so it's not a big loss.

I don't know why, but this made me really laugh.


But I didn't know this was happening, so good to know, honestly.
 
Except the links don't say what they claim they do!

Low Multiverse level (Was going to destroy Trunks timeline and said that her job requires the merge of timelines in order for them to fit in one scroll, this process is further explained by Trunks) | Multiverse level (Held the entire multiverse together when Chamel was causing it to collapse)

1st Scan is literally just she saying she could fix an out-of-context time distortion and with a very awful photo image of a TV.

2nd Scan she literally says she needs help to fix the time distortions that are making the timelines diverge so she can turn them into one timeline again. This seems less a universal feat and more something akin to Back to the Future 2.

3rd Scan literally has Trunks explaining that the time distortions and split timelines are solved by time travel with a time machine! There's no reality warping.

4th Scan is just an out-of-context untranslated scan of Kaioshin saying she is "Holding up a collapsing world with all her strength". What is this world? Is it a planet, is it a universe, a timeline, a multiverse, all of existence? The scan makes no mention of any of that nor does it attempt to contextualize it.

This is the current state of all Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Heroes profiles and quite frankly it is disgustingly awful that we let it in this state.

If you want to have Multiversal Dragon Ball you should at least put up the effort.
 
Okay. Pretty much all the profiles are complete except the ones i have mentioned. So this thread isnt loaded with me im going to sum things up so far:

  • Vyse (skies of arcadia) Probably needs a content revision because his justification looks built with too much assumption
  • Dragon ball heroes characters need revising for matthews reasoning, preferably still having their exact scans shown in the posts turned into images so they can be revised before the website shuts down
  • If there is anything else outside of just character profiles that should be looked at and replaced then let us know
 
I have saved the Chaos Emeralds, Fu and Mechikabura links.

About Fu: Since he has space-time manipulation he likely used to reset the Tokipedia, so its more of an ability related thing than ap, so him and Cumber would need more stuff on their stats justifications.

Mechikabura needs a video of his time slow because its more convincing than just images.

Lastly i'd like in game informations that Vyse created/destroyed the dimension, he seems to only bring himself and the opponent in a dimension where he destroys the battle structure, travels in space and slashes the opponent with Pirate's Wrath. The structure destruction and the size of the final slash are interesting, as for speed FTL seems fine since he travelled quickly in space to reach the opponent, a calc of the whole might be fine.
 
Honestly, we don't normally approve Google+ links; they should be on this site's user blogs. Though, NarutoForums are also the next best thing, but I agree that the few profiles that have Google+ links for justification should be moved to blog format.

Skies of Arcadia was another great game I wanted to get into a while back as it's one of the best games on the short lived Dreamcast, but I might take a look at it. The starry skies feat actually looks more akin to Kepekley's 4-A calc though; FTL looks more reasonable. And actually the Google+ link is now replaced with a YouTube video with DeviantArt being the respect thread. So I guess that's better?

I don't mind being given a list of pages to check; though, I've been having busy RL work schedules as of late, so I may or may not be a bit slow in that regard when that comes.
 
@DarkDragonMedeus: I agree. It often frustrates me when an off-site calculation is used as a justification in a profile, because I can be almost certain it hasn't been evaluated by a calculation group member.

Even if it might be evaluated on the external site it was posted to, that doesn't mean it meets our standards, as our Wiki does do things differently compared to other sites, AFAIK.
 
@Read this post

We can probably remove it then.

Btw: Big thanks to everybody who are helping out.

That is if it is assumed that he created and destroyed his own dimension, the Black Jewel has a similar feat with reality warping, so his 4-B would be more like 4-A [sans it doens't scale to anyone] if what said above is accepted.
 
Don't derail please.
