Oh dear... It is the first time I had spotted her.

Is wikipe-tan new?

[EDIT]No... Sorry to all. Seems she is around since end of 2005/dec 2006[/EDIT]

Yep, as you clarified later, she has been around ^v^'

But don't feel bad,... Wikipe-tan does strike a bit of nostalgia for me since she's the first Moe personification I ever met, who then led me to , ME-tan my firsts ever OS-tan.

Too bad we recently had a bit of a falling out with Wikipe-tan. -.-'

Yes, since I'm an avid Wikipedia reader, I've seen her multiple times. Wikipe-tan is indeed cute.

Quite all right, C-Chan. Since the new wiki has been established and I saved the code from the old page, recovering shouldn't be too hard. Don't blame her - blame the admins. As they say about baseball, don't blame the mascots, blame the players!

yeah but her character design could have been at least a little more original and less loli, loose the jigsaw hairclips and she could be a character in "he is my master" lol
is there like any explanation to why she's a little girl? well i guess because she needs other people to tell her facts...true, but why the maid outfit.

CaptBrenden · January 14, 2007, 02:57:47 AM

Im not sure. I think the design is fitting... tho Im not a huge fan of the slapping random bits of whatever they represent too them. the best tans dont have any of that (like the original windows-tans) but I think its a good design personaly.

He is my master would have been alot more riskey and would have shown more skin -_-

tho.. i think the beachball is fitting and funny

Edit:
oh, and the first post in this thread currently dosent fit into the new Image policy, but I feel its harmless due to the size of the images. Ill discuss with the other mods.

Gosh! ;013

And perhaps I also avoided posting 720x720 pixel image just to accomplish policy! ;026 ;015

CaptBrenden · January 14, 2007, 12:28:05 PM

big pictures are our biggest problem, but we also want to avoid having a large amount of pictures flooding it too.. but as I said, they are really small and I dont think anyone would have a problem with this post

*puts an A Okay stamp on this thread.. for now*

Xyanide · January 14, 2007, 12:42:57 PM

those picture sizes are fine by me, and i'm even on relatively slow DSL

What other mods? Do you mean C-Chan? He's been here so long, he seems kinda like a mod...

C-Chan · January 14, 2007, 03:21:19 PM

Oh right,... in all technicality, the Captain is really the only Mod in this forum. -v-'

He should've said "Admins". ^__^

But 'nuff of that, Wikipe-tan = Cute and Forgivable. ^v^

*trots off*

CaptBrenden · January 14, 2007, 06:30:27 PM

Same as mine! *think of the old day*
When I went to the Wikipedia Main Page on October 2, I saw Wikipe-tan in the Today's featured picture section. Then, she links me to the Wikipe-tan article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan
It has links to OS-tan article. So I clicked it...

That's was the first time I know about OS-tan.
No wonder I joined this forum 2 days later, on Oct 4.

edit: I like her in shift JIS art. Cute!

MisterCat · January 16, 2007, 01:35:09 PM

Personally, I like this version of her:

I'm not a fan of loli types, especially in party dresses; but that's just a personal preference. You know, she must be a highly-informed gal!

I approve this post! ^_^ I don't have problem with lolis, they're cute indeed
