Is it necessary to include a list (let alone a LINK!) to every single text being saved on the site? Why can't we just get a link to a table of contents, if the site has one? -- Zoe
Because the list in the site is in Japanese. Anyway also it is a good list for providing links to make each article Taku 03:54 Jan 5, 2003 (UTC)
Yes then why don't we make a list that is relevant? And I know the page became too long. So we need to break it up. -- Taku 07:06 Jan 5, 2003 (UTC)
I think the born and death date info with each author is redundant. but please leave it alone. After we completed each article of author with born and death date info, we can delete it. But now there is not such info in wikipedia, so don't delete them. Thanks -- Taku 00:13 Jan 6, 2003 (UTC)
The subpages don't make sense -- Hemanshu 12:17, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I know this is rather trivial...but anyway, regarding the English translation of Auzora Bunko, is "open air" an official one? If not, why not simply call it "azure", it fits so well.
The last external link listed has mostly non-working links. Can somebody get in touch with the owner and say so. 4.249.198.206 ( talk) 01:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
This article is about Aozora Bunko. Go find someplace else to put your text that's not about Aozora Bunko. There is simply no justification for making more than half of Aozora Bunko about Japanese copyright law.-- Prosfilaes ( talk) 21:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Prosfilaes -- I can only guess at what what intended by asserting: "Aozora Bunko includes several works of crime fiction...." The full-text of that addition is preserved here. Perhaps in the context of a verifying source, the helpfulness of this edit can be more clearly recognized.
Crime fiction is the genre of fiction that deals with crimes, their detection, criminals and their motives. It is usually distinguished from mainstream fiction and other genres such as science fiction or historical fiction, but boundaries can be, and indeed are, blurred. It has several sub-genres, including detective fiction (including the whodunnit), legal thriller, courtroom drama, and hard-boiled fiction. Crime fiction began to be considered as a serious genre only around 1900. The earliest known crime novel is "The murder of machine operator Rolfsen" by Norwegian Mauritz Hansen, published in 1839. Yet more known are the earlier dark works of Edgar Allan Poe (e.g., " The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), " The Mystery of Marie Roget" (1842), and " The Purloined Letter" (1844). The evolution of locked room mysteries was one of the landmarks in the history of crime fiction. The Sherlock Holmes mysteries, probably based upon C. Auguste Dupin and Émile Gaboriau's Monsieur Lecoq, are said to have been singularly responsible for the huge popularity in this genre. A precursor was Paul Féval, whose series Les Habits Noirs (1862-67) feature Scotland Yard detectives and criminal conspiracies. The evolution of the print mass media in the United Kingdom and the United States in the latter half of the 19th century was crucial in popularising crime fiction and related genres. Literary 'variety' magazines like Strand, McClure's, and Harper's quickly became central to the overall structure and function of popular fiction in society, providing a mass-produced medium that offered cheap, illustrated publications that were essentially disposable. Like the works of many other important fiction writers of his day — e.g. Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens — Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories first appeared in serial form in the monthly Strand magazine in the United Kingdom. The series quickly attracted a wide and passionate following on both sides of the Atlantic, and when Doyle killed off Holmes in The Final Problem, the public outcry was so great, and the publishing offers for more stories so attractive, that he was reluctantly forced to resurrect him. Later a set of stereotypic formulae began to appear to cater to various tastes.
This edit is not intended to exacerbate any rationale for further dispute. I believe it will likely cause a raft of problems if this material were to remain as part of a page which will be replicated throughout the realm of Wikipedia mirror sites. -- Tenmei ( talk) 17:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
The ACLU is an organization that's dedicated to freedom of speech in the United States. That doesn't mean that the article ACLU starts talking about freedom of speech in the United States; it talks about what the battles the ACLU has fought over the issue. All the cites in the world, no matter what Aozora Bunko has done, do not make this article the right place to talk about copyright law in Japan; that should go to copyright law in Japan or some such article. This article is solely about stuff that Aozora Bunko has done. That Aozora Bunko has dedicated itself to the preservation of the current copyright law is appropriate for the article. If there's a reliable source that says that Aozora Bunko should stay a digital library, or that Aozora Bunko has crossed the line in their protests, that's appropriate for this article. But if Sony is pushing the changes without specific mention to Aozora Bunko by them or the journalists, it's completely irrelevant to this article.
All the cites and research in the world don't change the simple fact that this article is not about digital libraries, copyright law, Japan, or any combination of those. It's about Aozora Bunko. Anything about the first three subjects need to go to articles on those subjects and be deleted from this article.-- Prosfilaes ( talk) 01:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
