Doceirias, KrebMarkt and myself have been discussing some points of the cleanup of List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure chapters, and we've (Doceirias and myself, I think KrebMarkt's offline) reached a point where we agree wider project input would be most useful. Specifically, we're seeking wider input on how to handle some stuff related to Steel Ball Run; everyone is welcome to join in at Talk:List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure chapters#More work. ···「 ダイノガイ 千?!」 ?

How do we want to divvy up the work? (And is there any way to sticky this to make the archivebot ignore it for a while?) — Quasirandom ( talk) 14:35, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
I've "unsigned" for .hack//Sign as it has far greater issues than just the ANN referencing. It has a ton of bad sources, missing sources, etc, and should probably be GARed (seriously, it is using an ePinions review, and another being used is on blacklists for being a dangerous site)!). I tagged it for issues, but User:Kazu-kun removed all tags, including one noting it has excessive non-free. Anyone else want to attempt to deal with this one before a more formal review process gets it delisted? I've already individually tagged places cites are missing and/or sources are questionable (so long as he doesn't remove those as well as he is being extremely owny IMHO). -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 05:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I need an assist with List of Kingdom Hearts media: I'm behind a firewall that's blocking Square Enix (I'm really regretting taking this contract) so I can't search their catalog for citations for publisher/pub date for a couple manga volumes. Can someone look for replacements for the last few ANN encyclopedia refs? If not, we can always drop back to Amazon.co.jp, which is being used for some of their other books, but first-party refs for this sort of thing is much better than a seller's site. (Even better would be to also replace the other Amazon refs as well.) — Quasirandom ( talk) 16:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Almost all of List of Gunslinger Girl episodes are done, both ANN and Syobi. However, I can not find any source for the English airdates. The official IFC channel page has the titles and summaries, but not airdate, and alas Amazon.com's online download pages just list the first airdate for all of the episodes. Everything else should be good, even added the missing sources for the Japanese airdates. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 23:45, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I need some help. I couldnt find the broadcasting dates from the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime. I found two replacements for the staff, but all the dates I found were not specific. Tintor2 ( talk) 01:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I just stole Azumanga Daioh from under Quasirandoms nose. I replaced the ANN ref with a Anime Encyclopedia ref to show the original airing method. The page needs some minor upkeep, I was told leads should be unreferenced as the info should (and in this case is) already cited in the article body. I'm not convinced over the gamefaqs reference, I'll see if I can find a replacement. Unfortunately it's quite rare outside Japan, and is fairly uncommon within Japan. Which is irritating because I want to play it, and don't want to pay £130-£150 for the disc! Dandy Sephy ( talk) 01:27, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Funimation has been releasing a lot of their episodes on their website for the anime they own the rights to.

Generally, the ANN Encyclopedia is not considered a reliable source because the content is user editable. However, one part of the encyclopedia that isn't user editable that I know of is the section about releases ( http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/releases.php). Does everyone else think that this section falls under the guidelines as a reliable source and should this been mentioned in the Online reliable sources page? -- Farix ( Talk) 22:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

List of Reborn! episodes is divided in seasons per the names from the DVD's names. However, the third DVD series is composed only by episodes 66-73, and it was added as part of season 2.

Generally, it is frowned upon for a template, such as navboxes or infoboxes, to categorize an article. One of the few exceptions are maintenance categorize and some userboxes (See WP:CAT). So I though that we may want to remove the content categories from {{ Infobox animanga}} and directly add these categories to the page. This can be accomplished with a quick AWB run, though it would be a good idea to turn off all other fixes. -- Farix ( Talk) 12:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

List of Zatch Bell! minor characters was tagged for merging to List of Zatch Bell! characters in December 2008, as is the norm with these minor character lists. Per discussion at Talk:List of Zatch Bell! characters#Merge proposal, the only two people to oppose gave no real reasons for doing so. This month, the minor list was prodded [2] which I endorsed [3], so of course my resident follower User:DreamFocus came behind and deprodded [4]. I think redirected the minor list to the main list per the discussion [5], but he is, of course, continuing to undo this. Additional views at the original discussion and eyes on both articles appreciated. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 14:20, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
There are some war editing on Pandora Hearts over the right names & terminology see Last 50 Edits. I started a discussion to reach a consensus to resolve the issue Talk:Pandora_Hearts#Naming but only two persons did give their inputs and while others continued waring. I have now enough evidence that the official English will stick with the Japanese 8.5 guide book names [6].
I see 3 possibles courses of action. The first is to wait for the official English to make its way to the fan base but some scanlation/fansubs won't stick with it preserving the confusion. The second is to put comments citing where and how was decided the various names. The third is put the whole article into semi-protection for a short while forcing every IP editors to read discussion page.
Any piece of advice is welcome
Thanks -- KrebMarkt 06:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
There have been problems recently with whether to list season 3, which contains 2 actual episodes as OVAs or a season. There were mock episode summaries released for each episode by TV Tokyo, however only the last 2 were ever released and those were with 2 volumes of the manga (1 for each). Normally anything not released for TV and a movie is considered an OVA, however, these are listed as season 3 episodes. 陣 内 Jinnai 21:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I need someone else to look into the activities of SallyFord ( talk · contribs) in relation to anime podcast articles. Particularly with Anime Pulse and Geeknights which she attempted to tag for speedy deletion. Sally has a long history of disliking the former article.

On an unrelated note, she seems to be retaliating against me on an article about the outdoor drama, Honey in the Rock after I removed a speedy deletion tag she placed on Geeknights.

I noticed that a lot of shows with episode lists are featured lists but lists that proprieties of a company like Funimation are not and are poor. I have been working on a re-vamped format for lists of properties of a company which have a similar look to List of acquisitions by AOL and List of Nintendo 64 games.

I am proposing some code changes to both {{ Episode list}} and {{ Japanese episode list}}. The full discussion is occurring on Template talk:Japanese episode list#Code updates. -- Farix ( Talk) 20:57, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
List of Gin Tama episodes has had 3 requests/comments in the last 6 weeks, all asking to reintroduce the notes concerning which episodes were adapted from what chapters (which I previously removed, along with the fan divised "arc" linecolors). IIRC the chapter numbers were included in the title fields or something like that. With the similarity to a debate over noting which specific eps were filler in another list a few weeks back, a clear statement regarding this may be beneficial. Theres only so many times I can say "its not appropriate, this is not a fan site". No one has actually tried readding them yet, but clearly the more casual users don't "get it". Although my request for better summaries (over one sentance taglines) seems to have worked!
I might be a little blind, but I don't think we have a MOS-AM section regarding episode lists, and nothing is noted in Template:Japanese episode list either. Now, as it stands "not appropriate" is really my own opinion, and there doesn't seem to be any actual consensus on the matter, so further discussion seems like a good idea. I could also argue the OR card, but that would allow "justification" of it via references. Dandy Sephy ( talk) 18:27, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

From List of Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo chapters:
<!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 112779/1000000 Post-expand include size: 2048000/2048000 bytes Template argument size: 1516797/2048000 bytes Expensive parser function count: 1/500 -->
The templates need to be optimized. I would first start by get doing away with {{ Graphic novel list/header}} and {{ Graphic novel list/footer}}, instead inserting the code directly into the article, just like we do when using {{ Japanese episode list}}. Since the headers are fairly simple, this shouldn't be a problem, and I find these two templates completely unnecessary. Then {{ Graphic novel list}} should be optimized to further reduce the post expand include size. In fact, looking at it now, I see lots of room for improvement, and that is before reformatting the code to make it more readable. -- Farix ( Talk) 15:46, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

This has come up while looking at Lupin III's status regarding its upcoming GA review. I previously raised it in the ANN GA/FA/FL replacement discussion, but never got any input.
A while ago I replaced the ANN Ency refs in the Lupin article using Lupin Encyclopedia. While the site is technically a fan site, it's written by AnimeOnDVD.com/Mania reviewer Luis Cruz. link to his reviews link to a review thread on the aod/mania forums. Also, we already have examples of fansites being used as reliable sources such as Rumic World. I don't know how well the site is used by other sources, but being written by a reviewer for one of the major RS sites is hardly a small thing.
I've cleaned up the article, but the amount of work required for it keeping it's GA status hinges largely on the useage of Lupin Encyclopedia for sources. While many of the sources could be replaced with some work, I'm not convinced it would retain it's GA status if forced to change all the Lupin Encylopeida refs.
Just to let everyone know that there is a discussion about whether a work can be a reliable source for its own plot summary at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. -- Farix ( Talk) 04:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

The editor is either being ignorant, or just overly protective of something he hasn't actually worked on, and I'm at 2 reverts already and don't want to get into an edit war with a user who is completely missing the point.

Which it isn't, but it does need hella work. If anyone is interested in the subject, it'd make a good collaborative project -- starting with weeding out false entries, and going from there. Either stop in the talk page or jump in feet first. — Quasirandom ( talk) 14:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Here's an odd one that affects a number of pages (any notable series running in the magazine, as well as the magazine itself.) Champion Red and its titles are listed as seinen in all the online bookstores that distinguish, and are filed as such in every bookstore in Japan. The titles published in it are often extreme violent, with a high degree of sexual content. No one familiar with the magazine would ever imagine it to be anything but seinen. But User:ChuChu has discovered that a search of the publisher's catalogue has the magazine's titles listed under "shonen muke" rather than "dansei muke." This is not a situation I've encountered before - where the most official site contradicts all other sources. Which do we follow here? Doceirias ( talk) 16:52, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
<Outdent>There is no wrong or good side just a disputed statement. We should keep ourself siding either parties. -- KrebMarkt 15:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Random not very useful statement: the publisher's intended audience should be taken into consideration, and probably given more weight than other sources -- but what industry observers observe about the content and actual sellers say about who they are selling the magazine to also need to be taken into account. If everybody but the publisher agrees on a demographic, we should go with that all-but-complete consensus. — Quasirandom ( talk) 20:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
I have deleted the bulk of Harem (genre) as it was a conglomerate of people's personal annalists and observations, little of which could be verified through published reliable sources.

While each episode on its own may not qualify for an article, it is quite likely that sources can be found to support a series or season page, where all the episodes in one season (or series) are presented on one page. (See examples listed below). Such pages must still be notable, and contain out-of-universe context, and not merely be a list of episode titles or cast and crew: Wikipedia is not a directory.

Generally, it is frowned upon for a template, such as navboxes or infoboxes, to categorize an article. One of the few exceptions are maintenance categorize and some userboxes (See WP:CAT).

There are some war editing on Pandora Hearts over the right names & terminology see Last 50 Edits. I started a discussion to reach a consensus to resolve the issue Talk:Pandora_Hearts#Naming but only two persons did give their inputs and while others continued waring. I have now enough evidence that the official English will stick with the Japanese 8.5 guide book names [6].
I see 3 possibles courses of action. The first is to wait for the official English to make its way to the fan base but some scanlation/fansubs won't stick with it preserving the confusion. The second is to put comments citing where and how was decided the various names. The third is put the whole article into semi-protection for a short while forcing every IP editors to read discussion page.

There have been problems recently with whether to list season 3, which contains 2 actual episodes as OVAs or a season. There were mock episode summaries released for each episode by TV Tokyo, however only the last 2 were ever released and those were with 2 volumes of the manga (1 for each).

List of Gin Tama episodes has had 3 requests/comments in the last 6 weeks, all asking to reintroduce the notes concerning which episodes were adapted from what chapters (which I previously removed, along with the fan divised "arc" linecolors). IIRC the chapter numbers were included in the title fields or something like that. With the similarity to a debate over noting which specific eps were filler in another list a few weeks back, a clear statement regarding this may be beneficial. Theres only so many times I can say "its not appropriate, this is not a fan site". No one has actually tried readding them yet, but clearly the more casual users don't "get it". Although my request for better summaries (over one sentance taglines) seems to have worked!
I might be a little blind, but I don't think we have a MOS-AM section regarding episode lists, and nothing is noted in Template:Japanese episode list either. Now, as it stands "not appropriate" is really my own opinion, and there doesn't seem to be any actual consensus on the matter, so further discussion seems like a good idea. I could also argue the OR card, but that would allow "justification" of it via references. Dandy Sephy ( talk) 18:27, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

The templates need to be optimized.

Since the headers are fairly simple, this shouldn't be a problem, and I find these two templates completely unnecessary.

I don't know how well the site is used by other sources, but being written by a reviewer for one of the major RS sites is hardly a small thing.
I've cleaned up the article, but the amount of work required for it keeping it's GA status hinges largely on the useage of Lupin Encyclopedia for sources. While many of the sources could be replaced with some work, I'm not convinced it would retain it's GA status if forced to change all the Lupin Encylopeida refs.
Just to let everyone know that there is a discussion about whether a work can be a reliable source for its own plot summary at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. -- Farix ( Talk) 04:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I tried sourcing List of Gin Tama episodes with the TV Tokyo, but even if I write the url from each section, I will find an error within the site.

I could do with some help here. I stripped out the very obvious elements of OR, and added some fact tags, but another editor is having trouble comprehending this, even with a detailed explanation of it on the talk page. I believe the talk page covers the arguments so I'll not go over them again here. The editor is either being ignorant, or just overly protective of something he hasn't actually worked on, and I'm at 2 reverts already and don't want to get into an edit war with a user who is completely missing the point. The only thing they did take notice of was completely misinterpreted. Dandy Sephy ( talk) 14:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Just as a heads up, the citation templates ({{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}}, {{ cite book}}, et cet.) now have a little-publicized trans_title= parameter, intended to be used in conjunction with the language= parameter for works/articles/pages with foreign language titles that need to have the title translated.

List of fantasy anime needs a lot of TLC. It has accreted so many non-fantasy and non-anime entries (and even some non-manga-nor-anime entries), it was recently prodded as hopeless.

Can a Mania.com forum post be used to cite a DVD release. I'm doubting the reliability of the forum post. Any thought? Extremepro ( talk) 06:21, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Here's an odd one that affects a number of pages (any notable series running in the magazine, as well as the magazine itself.) Champion Red and its titles are listed as seinen in all the online bookstores that distinguish, and are filed as such in every bookstore in Japan. The titles published in it are often extreme violent, with a high degree of sexual content. No one familiar with the magazine would ever imagine it to be anything but seinen. But User:ChuChu has discovered that a search of the publisher's catalogue has the magazine's titles listed under "shonen muke" rather than "dansei muke." This is not a situation I've encountered before - where the most official site contradicts all other sources. Which do we follow here? Doceirias ( talk) 16:52, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
<Outdent>There is no wrong or good side just a disputed statement. We should keep ourself siding either parties. -- KrebMarkt 15:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Random not very useful statement: the publisher's intended audience should be taken into consideration, and probably given more weight than other sources -- but what industry observers observe about the content and actual sellers say about who they are selling the magazine to also need to be taken into account. If everybody but the publisher agrees on a demographic, we should go with that all-but-complete consensus. — Quasirandom ( talk) 20:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
I have deleted the bulk of Harem (genre) as it was a conglomerate of people's personal annalists and observations, little of which could be verified through published reliable sources.

I disagree with merging, especially with fan service. I can try to work on developing a proper article for the subject, but genres in general are difficult to cite.

While each episode on its own may not qualify for an article, it is quite likely that sources can be found to support a series or season page, where all the episodes in one season (or series) are presented on one page. (See examples listed below). Such pages must still be notable, and contain out-of-universe context, and not merely be a list of episode titles or cast and crew: Wikipedia is not a directory. Should that be changed since it appears to directly contrdict exisiting consensus or am I misrading it?-- 76.65.141.43 ( talk) 00:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
