Should the role lists on the seiyuus' pages be arranged alphabetically or chronologically? Also, if alphabetically, by the role character's name or the series'? I have some free time in my hands and I'm looking for something easy to do. Nanettea 14:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
For the more technically adept, sortable tables could be created allowing people to arrange the list by whatever they pleased. See Help:Sorting. -- tjstrf talk 22:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
After it was pointed out in the course of that mass CfD that Shonen, Seinen, Josei, etc. aren't actually genres per se, but rather demographic descriptions, I have created Category:Anime and manga by demographic and a new infobox field, "demographic=", to make this distinction more apparent. The "demographic=" field is at present optional, so as not to mess up all the existing articles which do not use it, but for an example of its implementation, see the infobox on Bleach (manga). -- tjstrf talk 08:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Are there any guidelines for listing any and all of a character's non-Japanese and non-English VAs (e.g., Latin America, Italy, Brazil) here or in the archives (i.e. this is OK or not), or at this point it's up to the editors how as to wide they want to go in listing VAs? -- BrokenSphere 23:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I would appreciate it if any members of this project would assist in fixing the problem of preferential treatment to Japanese titles - ie, Son Goku (Dragon Ball), whose editors chose to call it that for the reason that it is the original Japanese title (even though naming conventions say to use an official English title whenever possible). And the fact that Goku has multiple English name in other regions is irrelevant, considering that it states "most well-known official English title". It doesn't help English non-fans of the series - all it CAN do is make Wikipedia more disadvantageous for them. Using Son Goku is about as correct as using the Japanese alphabet. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
When the naming dispute is between "Goku" and "Son Goku", does it really make a difference? The only change is that one abbreviated the name. -- tjstrf talk 07:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
If you find this interesting, you may also wish to look at Talk:Makoto_Kino#Why_is_this_the_Japanese_title.3F, as Link has also broached the matter of naming there. He has dismissed consistency concerns as "irrelevant" there. - Malkinann 07:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
See? I can make up stuff too. - A Link to the Past (talk) 08:04, 8 June 2007 (UTC)\
Oh, and in case you all are consistently refusing to read a lick of evidence that contradicts your non-reality:
Most well-known official English name. Son Goku fails that by not being the most well-known official English name. Dragon Ball came to NA long before it ever came to Europe. And Google hits shows a significant disparity. Naming conventions, at no point does it EVER say anything that would EVER begin to say that using no English name is better if there's a dispute over which should be used.
Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King - the European title for the eighth game. Why don't we call it Dragon Quest VIII because there are multiple English names? Honestly, the "use Japanese names" is evidence of both laziness and Japanophilia long before it could ever be "neutrality between English names". This subject isn't even a matter of English vs. English - it's a matter of anti-English bias. You can't act as if Europe is being hurt - Son Goku? Europe's hurt. Goku? Europe's hurt. But apparently, it hurts more if it's the NA title for - well, actually, no real reason.
And why do you keep replying?! You won't even respond to my request for you to explain why the "most well-known official English title" doesn't apply to WP:ANIME! You're just wasting bandwidth if you're so adverse to my request. - A Link to the Past (talk) 10:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Summary:
"Well, for one, you were lying through your teeth with the intention of making everyone seem that I was trying to somehow make things consistent by... um... consistently using Sailor names (which apparently is inconsistent for some inexplicable reason)." - your original proposition was to use the civilian dub name, which we explained to you was inappropriate, for reasons of consistency among others. Since then, you've changed your proposition to use the Sailor names. This is fine, you are allowed to change your mind. However, as the possibility of using Sailor names has only been in the equation for a couple of days, and WP:SM has been known to discuss names of articles for months, you may have to give us some time to consider the pros and cons of this. Becoming emotional and accusing anyone of lying or being anti-American, Japanophilic or spiteful will not dispose editors to take your position seriously, even if they try their best to assume good faith. - Malkinann 12:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
The whole 'Official name' thing is not valid: per Wikipedia:Naming conventions - POLICY:
And per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) - GUIDELINE:
So the issue is not whether it's "official" or not, whether it's English or not, just use the name that is most commonly known by the English audience. If you disagree on which name that is, you can try a google test. For instance, the article for Boys Over Flowers uses the 'Official' English title, although many would agree that Hana Yori Dango is better known amongst the English audience. Ninja neko 12:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I actually think this matter should be let to the folks at WP:RM to decide. See, even I more endorse Case Closed rather than Detective Conan, the other side at Talk:Case Closed#Requested move got a supermajority-- and lose. (But, in this case, most names have similar G-Hits.)-- Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 13:40, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
It should be noted that "Son Goku" is the full name, so as long as there's a redirect, it doesn't much matter if it's at "Son Goku" or "Goku". I really doubt too many people would be confused, especially if something like "Son Goku, commonly shortened to Goku, is the main character from the Dragon Ball manga and anime series." ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon joe 06:38, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Is there any reason why we can't have the illustrator field in the manga infobox? It has been added and reverted a few times without discussion, so let's discuss it. mako made the point some time ago that it made the infobox longer and I would agree but common practice has been to add a <br/>and put (art) in the author field anyway. I believe that a few editors do want it and I'm sick of fixing the articles that still have it. -- Squilibob 04:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Re: Talk:Case Closed#Requested move, I guess I had forgotten about the discussion, as I remembered it happening. Call me a bit slow, but only tonight did I notice that.. the requested move did not proceed. Am I reading this right? 19 users supported the move, while 6 opposed it... and the closing admin says "no consensus"? This is a problem that needs correcting. The question is, how do we do it? -- Ned Scott 08:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm toying with the idea of a mangaka taskforce. Most of the mangaka pages are not in proper format, are in disrepair, are missing sources or just have wrong information. I noticed that AMP doesn't seem to have time to focus on this 100% of the time. So this would be to try to get a handle on some of the pages and detail them out properly and to format (according to the Biography template)-- many mangaka *do* talk about themselves in notes to their readers so it's not like we're strapped for references. I'd like to get them up to par for them to get featured or at least beyond the stub rating many are stuck at. Is anyone interested? And if not Mangaka... a Creators Taskforce? ^^;; (Many Biography pages of authors manhwaga, creating directors etc have issues of the same sort.)-- Hitsuji Kinno 08:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I moved the page to Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Biography and there is now a biography-work-group switch in the template that will categorize the articles to Category:Anime and manga biography work group articles when set. I had also added a listas parameter that will behave exactly the same way as the one in Template:WPBiography earlier today, which I also added to the header section of Template:Infobox animanga. -- Farix ( Talk) 01:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Some of you might be aware of WP:EPISODE, which is our guideline for dealing with articles about an individual episode from a show. Before it had the shortcut WP:EPISODE and the current title, Wikipedia:Television episodes, it was known as Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Television episodes [4]. Well, it still says pretty much the same thing as before, but some recent redirecting of episode articles that weren't seen as notable lead us to some new activity on the talk page of WP:EPISODE. We're now looking for input and comments to expanding the guideline at WT:EPISODE#Suggested expansion of guidelines. -- Ned Scott 04:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I hasten to add that I'm not canvassing for support, just don't want to see this article deleted without a wider consensus to do so by people who have read both side of the argument. If the wider consensus is to delete, I'll of course abide by that. GDallimore ( Talk) 13:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
As she has a wide body of work, I was thinking of proposing a WP to cover all of her works with task forces dedicated to each of the 4 major series that she's done (Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma ½, InuYasha). However, given what has been done with other series recently in terms of creating task forces that are subordinate to WP:Anime dedicated to one specific series (e.g. Eva, Bleach, Haruhi Suzumiya), I'm wondering if that might be better instead. This is because the coverage for each of the 4 series I mentioned widely varies. IY has the most comprehensive, ongoing coverage, with Ranma as a likely #2, UY #3, and MI dead last, most likely due to relative availability of the series. So I guess I'm open to either suggestion, whichever seems more practicable and maintainable in the long run. -- BrokenSphere 23:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

While cleaning up usage of {{ BannerShell}}, I cam across a whole series of List of fictional characters who can manipulate XYZ with the project banner on the talk page along with a whole slew of other WikiProject banners. I've removed our banner from the pages since the lists fall outside of our scope. Just because some anime and manga characters who have these ability are on the list doesn't mean the list is now within our scope.
So here is the list of lists that I removed the project banner from:
And although it didn't have the project banner on it at the time, we may need to keep our eyes on this one.
There may be a chance that the original tagger will attempt to put the project's banner back on. --

I've been reviewing the articles that are still marked as stubs ( Category:Anime and manga stubs). Many of these articles have outgrown the Stub-Class or are ripe candidates for mergers, and yet others contain almost no information other then "XYZ is a proxy-genre manga series by CBA" with an external link and a list of characters. The latter I've been tagging with {{db-a1}}.
Anyways, I've gone through . to B and I may do the C's by the end of the day. Any help in sorting through the stubs to which which once have outgrown their status would be helpful. -- Farix ( Talk) 22:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

{{Infobox animanga/TV movie | title = | ja_name = | ja_name_trans = | director = | studio = | network = | licensor = | air_date = | runtime = }}
TV_movie=yes
parameter for the either the anime or OVA infoboxes that would behave the same way as the Original English-language manga works for the manga infobox. If there are a lot then a new box would be easier though. --

It seems that this infobox entirely duplicates Template:Infobox Television episode. Is there any particular reason why we should use a different episode infobox for anime TV series?

I think {{ Infobox animanga}} should replaced by proper infoboxes. Examples are:

Hi all. There is a discussion going on at the Manual of Style page, regarding the "In Popular Culture" sections in many of the Japan-related articles.

I came across this article through random articles. I would add a relevant template for anime and manga but I am not sure whether it meets criteria and whether it should be tagged for cleanup, a merge or nomination for deletion.

While cleaning up usage of {{ BannerShell}}, I cam across a whole series of List of fictional characters who can manipulate XYZ with the project banner on the talk page along with a whole slew of other WikiProject banners. I've removed our banner from the pages since the lists fall outside of our scope. Just because some anime and manga characters who have these ability are on the list doesn't mean the list is now within our scope.
So here is the list of lists that I removed the project banner from:
And although it didn't have the project banner on it at the time, we may need to keep our eyes on this one.
There may be a chance that the original tagger will attempt to put the project's banner back on. --

I've been reviewing the articles that are still marked as stubs ( Category:Anime and manga stubs). Many of these articles have outgrown the Stub-Class or are ripe candidates for mergers, and yet others contain almost no information other then "XYZ is a proxy-genre manga series by CBA" with an external link and a list of characters. The latter I've been tagging with {{db-a1}}.
Anyways, I've gone through . to B and I may do the C's by the end of the day. Any help in sorting through the stubs to which which once have outgrown their status would be helpful. -- Farix ( Talk) 22:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I just created Japanese Movie Database. It's just like the IMDB, but for Japan. Please use this when looking up references for Japanese anime films. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:31, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I've revamped and organized Category:Anime and manga magazines a bit, so please make yourselves familiar with the new organization. There wasn't really any organization before. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 10:27, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Would someone be able to make one for TV anime movies? At the moment, listing TV anime movies is hard because what needs to be listed is a cross between the Anime and movie infoboxes. Thoughts? ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 03:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
{{Infobox animanga/TV movie | title = | ja_name = | ja_name_trans = | director = | studio = | network = | licensor = | air_date = | runtime = }}
TV_movie=yes
parameter for the either the anime or OVA infoboxes that would behave the same way as the Original English-language manga works for the manga infobox. If there are a lot then a new box would be easier though. --

ja_name
and ja_name_trans
to this as well? This would allow the infobox to be more useful. See
Nine (manga). ···

Since the glossary rarely gets used (at least by me as I never go over there) or updated over on Wiktionary, I've set it up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Film credits glossary as I think it will be much more useful to this and related projects. Feel free to update the list. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 07:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
It seems that this infobox entirely duplicates Template:Infobox Television episode. Is there any particular reason why we should use a different episode infobox for anime TV series? I don't really see the need have both of these infoboxes when one would do. -- Farix ( Talk) 14:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I think {{ Infobox animanga}} should replaced by proper infoboxes. Examples are:
However, {{ Infobox animanga}} should used when the article is about entire franchise. (Examples: Sailor Moon and Strawberry Panic) -- JSH-alive 10:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi all. There is a discussion going on at the Manual of Style page, regarding the "In Popular Culture" sections in many of the Japan-related articles. Since a lot of the bulletins in these sections tend to be references to anime or manga, I thought you might be interested to know of this discussion, and would want to contribute your views on the subject.

Some kids at Talk:Yu-Gi-Oh!#yu-gi-oh_the_abridged_series want a fan work to be mentioned on the article page. I stated that mentioning it would not be notable. WhisperToMe 20:50, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I came across this article through random articles. I would add a relevant template for anime and manga but I am not sure whether it meets criteria and whether it should be tagged for cleanup, a merge or nomination for deletion. Apart from the brief introduction, it is very hard for someone not familiar with the MÄR work to understand what it is about. Capitalistroadster 06:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Would anyone be interested in creating/joining a Lupin III work group? There is much to do, such as adding more information to the main article, movie, TV special, TV series and video game pages, Monkey Punch's page, character pages, and Yuji Ohno's page. Let's not forget the manga pages, too! -- AutoGyro 12:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Copied from Talk:Lupin III.-- Nohansen 21:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
First, Category:Dojin and all subcategories: Is there a reason they aren't all at the macronned title, Dōjin, to match the article? ( Category:Dōjin, Category:H Dōjin, Category:Dōjin anime, etc.) If not, then I'll have them all renamed at CfD.
Second, Category:Pornographic manga magazines. This should be renamed to something, but I'm not sure what. Category:Hentai magazines? -- tjstrf talk 02:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
I suggest deleting all subcats of Category:H dojin, as they mostly contain this one link only. _dk 05:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
