Reading over my comments on your Bunkobon merge proposal, I think I came across a bit brusquely there. My apologies.
On consideration, I may also have been too hasty in completely rejecting the idea - I'm not very happy with Bunko either, it is rather a short article, and there isn't really anything else that can be said about that one format. Merging it into something more general would actually be good.
Do you think perhaps creating a new, less specialised article called something like Japanese book formats would work? Combining the current bunko page, plus the details of sizes and bindings etc. of other formats currently at Tankōbon, and then adding details of any other common formats used in Japan, would seem to me to fit your basic desire to keep similar information all in one place, and also permit Tankōbon to concentrate on describing the compilations rather than their bindings. Any thoughts? And can you think of any other formats that such an article could discuss?

I don't know of such a thing, although templates are one area where I'm still discovering new possibilities every day myself...
In case you didn't know, Wikipedia:Template messages has a comprehensive hierarchal list of what's available, so you could poke around there and see if there's one I've missed. Haeleth 19:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey there. I'm a little curious about your alteration of the title of Super Dimension Fortress Macross (and related articles) in view of the evidence provided by Egan Loo on the talk page. Given his activity on Macross projects and the number of links he provided, including the official Macross page, I'm inclined to agree The Super Dimension Fortress Macross is the proper title. - Le Scoopertemp tk 20:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

If you can rewrite this article from scratch with sources for everything in it, that'd be great. As it stands it's so overrun with speculation that it'd be impossible to go out and try to verify it all. For my part, I'm just trying to keep more speculation from creeping in. (You'll have to forgive me for being quick on the reversions, but you have no idea how fast one little addition can suddenly expand into all sorts of speculation elsewhere in the article; before you know it it's impossible to tell what's verifiable and what's not). — Locke Cole (talk) (e-mail) 08:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
It isnt MY page, and It DOES belong in both kenjutsu and kumdo. Kendo and Kumdo are the same thing and are derived from kenjutsu. I put it in the culture of japan section because it is one of the most popular sports in japan (besides baseball). I also put it in samurai and katana because someone searching for that may want to find out about how the samurai trained.
Again it is NOT my site, I am a kendoka and about 2 weeks ago while searching for kendo I came across this site. It has some info that most kendoka themselves dont know. I put it there so that the general public would stop calling it "hitting with sticks" --anon user
Well can I put it in kenjutsu and kumdo? someone may look at that but not kendo? Also. If it is ok to put it in katana, I would like to. Most people who search for swords and martial arts have an interest in sword play and learning how to use swords. --anon user
hello, you have sent me a warning message, I have not done any thing to warrant this, I have vandalized no pages, nor performed any tests, if you cheek my editing history you will see that earlier today i removed profanity from a place it did not belong, some of my grammar or spelling may be off, but the appropriate response would be to edit it instead of threatinging to remove my privliges, I hope this was merely a misunderstanding, and that it will be cleared up soon, thank you. —preceding unsigned comment by 137.155.194.38 ( talk • contribs) --Moved from your user page to here by -- GraemeL (talk) 23:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Please have care in reversions. You rode over a very minor change I had made on the Bushido page and I was obliged to restore it. Not a big deal, just a small mention. All the same, thanks for your work reverting vandals. Hu 09:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Not that I'm offended or anything, but I noticed that you made a slight change to my user page. You might want to avoid that in the future--some users may not like that too much. If there's something you want to change, just tell them about it on their talk page. They'll probably change it.- Platypus Man | Talk 20:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
I received a note from you about changing spelling from American spelling to British spelling on the Iaido page. Actually, I was the original contributor of that part of the page, which was done with British spelling, and someone had changed it to American. Since earlier in the same paragraph there was another instance of British spelling, I felt it appropriate to change it for consistency.
