Category:Anime and manga related redirects is populated by the newly created Template:Anime r and I'm wondering if this is a good idea.

I'm appealing for assistance in improving this article. Tezuka is one of only two top-importance biography articles in the project (the other being Hayao Miyazaki), and there are plenty of sources to make use of. I've started adding sources as well as removing/replacing questionable ones, and I've reduced the "selected works" section to something more manageable and relevant to his most well known works, as opposed to listing a couple dozen titles. I'm looking for help in expanding the article in relevant areas, further sourcing (not just dumping random links to the page for others to do the work please!) and general cleanup. Any helpful assistance welcome. Dandy Sephy ( talk) 13:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Point of clarification: is the Dengeki Novel Prize ( Official Website considered good evidence for notability. It is held annually by the publisher ASCII Media Works.

When it comes to chapter listing, such as it has a name such as Stages, Retrace, Nights, Chapters,Prayer etc.. Do we include them or remove them and just keep it as a number? Reason why i Ask is because, on Maria Holic a member keeps reverting my edits whenever i add "Prayer ##" onto the chapter listing. and if they aren't suppose to be there, should we remove all the other Chapter listings?? and if we keep them, do we add them onto the Chapter listings that originally had them in there??
EDIT:I personally think we should keep them, because they are the title and the rest are subtitles Bread Ninja ( talk) 04:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
The problem is we don't know if it's just a replacement of chapter or it's indeed part of the title. but it appears to be a title. Though really, it seems to be a tie with whether we should keep/add them or remove them Bread Ninja ( talk) 19:14, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

A few weeks ago, there was a requested assessment of Mr. Mime. As a Pokemon article, it had already been assessed as B-Class by WP Video Games and WP Pokemon. However, upon review G.A.S. and I thought that this article was still C-Class. My reasoning was that the sourcing was heavily based on game guides which didn't appear to be reliable; while at the same time weak on more direct coverage of the subject by reliable sources.
All that to say, an editor has been trying to persuade me that these guides are reliable, and specifically these IGN game guides that are supposedly written my staff members. I can't confirm that these are staff, and even if they are. I'm not sure that the IGN stamp on it assures us that these walkthroughs have a solid editorial practice behind them. Anyway, I'd like some other opinions at Talk:Mr. Mime if possible, on the sources and on my assessment.

User:Kagome1977, while as an IP, added "subtitled" to the English airdate header of the List of InuYasha: The Final Act episodes. I reverted it as being unnecessary and cluttery. She logged in, tried again, I reverted again, and discussion began. As part of this discussion, she is claiming that the English airdates, which are the date the episodes "aired" subtitled on Hulu as officially released by Viz are not the first English airdates and that we either must keep her added wording or remove the column until the series airs on TV. As part of our back and forth, she also claimed Naruto's list is wrong because it aired dubbed on other stations first, if my assertion is correct that the first English airing is irregardless of it being subbed/dubbed and where it aired, so long as it was legal. So additional views could be used at Talk:List of InuYasha episodes#English airdate for the second series regarding that issue, and at Talk:List of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood episodes#English Airdates where the same user has also posed the question of whether the Animax airings are the valid first English airings and the table should thus be updated, after incorrectly summarizing my remarks from the InuYasha discussion. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 05:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

the main article for Code geass franchise seems pretty simple. I believe only the setting section and Geass section can be trimmed.
Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, Nunnally Lamperouge, Jeremiah Gottwald, Rolo Lamperouge holds no notability, so that can be AFD.
It's really just plot relevance that needs to be trimmed.
the OVA needs trimming or move the information to somewhere else. like character differences can be explained in there own character sections. and plot difference, I'm not so sure if it should be removed completely or be trimmed and put it in prose style. never seen this series before, but if it were up to me, i would suggest removing it completely considering OVAs usually have some plot differences.
the character articles need a lot of trimming, possibly even AFD if no third-party or second-party sources are found. Alita's article is mainly written in an in-universe style. again never seen this series so I'm not so sure what should be AFD and what should be trimmed. who ever seen this series, should remove some characters in the list article.
Concepts is what i really worry about. i think it should be trimmed then be moved to another article and possible even deleting them completely.
this one is fairly easy. it's the character articles that need work. Near's article, i suggest trim the character section and removing Interest and possibly Personality if no citation is found. Mello's article is a bit in-universe and maybe needs a bit of expansion. the shinigami article needs a lot of trimming in the overview section. some sections could be merged like concept of ryuk and ryuk in the pilot chapter.
i'll continue this in a bit. Bread Ninja ( talk) 16:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
For beyblade, the main article has a bit of explanation on the seasons and all the episodes are in one article. I suggest making them separate. as for the characters, they have made it really elaborate. more elaborate than battle star alita. still i suggest the same, trimming plot relevance to the basic and there seems to be trivia in some of these articles. so that should be removed.
As for Yu-Gi-OH! those articles have always needed trimming. the spin offs and various other articles always have large amount of info. I'll look into that some other time. Bread Ninja ( talk) 16:26, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
On a somewhat-related tangent, could someone please delineate for me exactly what the difference between singles, soundtracks, albums, etc. are in regards to the lists? I understand that they are different, and have a vague notion of how, but I really don't understand the details too well. (for anyone curious, this is spurred by the fact that the cleanup page currently lists 28 articles needing to be merged into the nonexistent List of Dragon Ball albums, and 73 articles needing to be merged into List of Dragon Ball soundtracks.) Also, is the difference great enough to justify splitting Category:Anime soundtracks (and are soundtracks for manga series without anime adaptations really so unheard of as to justify the omission of "and manga" from the category's name)? -- Dinoguy1000 ( talk · contribs) as 67.58.229.153 ( talk) 07:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Is this the right place to ask for a copy editor? If I'm wrong, my bad but a FL review told me to ask here once. Anyways, I would like to find a copy editor to copy edit List of Case Closed episodes (season 17) to make it less confusing and to push the article's grammar so it would be ready for another Featured List candidate.

or |alias=
fields (it already does in some cases). A couple of editors !voted to remove all in-universe information from the infobox, however, I believe this defeats the purpose of an infobox, which is to quickly summarize the important points of the character. In-universe detail are among the important points, therefor they should not be completely eliminated.

Viz, in their infinite wisdom, published things out of order and even skipped chapters when they first published the Maison Ikkoku manga in North America. So, the first collections they published do not directly correspond to the the Japanese volumes. They originally published 14 volumes collecting what they decided to originally publish of the manga. Since then, they have released the "Editor's Choice" editions which directly correspond to the Japanese volumes. So, which one do I use for the chapter list?

Most anime only have one, maybe two English dubs, but Dragon Ball has been dubbed by eight different companies: Harmony Gold in 1988 (dubbed only one movie and the first five episodes as a pilot), Creative Products Corp. 1992~1996, FUNimation 1995~now, Westwood Media 2000~2003, AB Groupe 2001~2003, two unknown companies, and Bandai 1997 (video game Final Bout).
For character pages, every single English VA is listed except the ones from Creative Products' dub, AB Groupe, and the two unknown companies.

AkibaBlog is frequently used by Anime News Network as a source of information. The English version, while it was running, had the support of Himeya Soft USA. [22]

While cleaning several infobox's, I've noticed many that list " Funimation Entertainment" as the English licensee. The problem is that this is a long name and often wraps when there are two or more flagicons preceding it. IMO, this is an undesirable situation.

As detailed in last week's Signpost, WildBot has been patrolling Wikipedia-Books and searched for various problems in them, such as books having duplicate articles or containing redirects. WikiProject Wikipedia-Books is in the process of cleaning them up, but help would be appreciated. For this project, the following books have problems:
The problem reports explain in details what exactly are the problems, why they are problems, and how to fix them. This way anyone can fix them even if they aren't familiar with books. If you don't see something that looks like this, then all problems have been fixed. (Please strike articles from this list as the problems get fixed.)
Also, the {{ saved book}} template has been updated to allow editors to specify the default covers of books (title, subtitle, cover-image, cover-color), and gives are preview of the default cover on the book's page. An example of such a cover is found on the right. Ideally, all books in Category:WikiProject Anime and manga books should have covers.
If you need help with cleaning up a book, help with the {{ saved book}} template, or have any questions about books in general, see Help:Books, Wikipedia:Books, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, or ask me on my talk page. Also feel free to join WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as we need all the help we can get.

When it comes to chapter listing, such as it has a name such as Stages, Retrace, Nights, Chapters,Prayer etc.. Do we include them or remove them and just keep it as a number? Reason why i Ask is because, on Maria Holic a member keeps reverting my edits whenever i add "Prayer ##" onto the chapter listing. and if they aren't suppose to be there, should we remove all the other Chapter listings?? and if we keep them, do we add them onto the Chapter listings that originally had them in there??

A few weeks ago, there was a requested assessment of Mr. Mime. As a Pokemon article, it had already been assessed as B-Class by WP Video Games and WP Pokemon. However, upon review G.A.S. and I thought that this article was still C-Class. My reasoning was that the sourcing was heavily based on game guides which didn't appear to be reliable; while at the same time weak on more direct coverage of the subject by reliable sources.
All that to say, an editor has been trying to persuade me that these guides are reliable, and specifically these IGN game guides that are supposedly written my staff members. I can't confirm that these are staff, and even if they are. I'm not sure that the IGN stamp on it assures us that these walkthroughs have a solid editorial practice behind them.

User:Kagome1977, while as an IP, added "subtitled" to the English airdate header of the List of InuYasha: The Final Act episodes. I reverted it as being unnecessary and cluttery. She logged in, tried again, I reverted again, and discussion began. As part of this discussion, she is claiming that the English airdates, which are the date the episodes "aired" subtitled on Hulu as officially released by Viz are not the first English airdates and that we either must keep her added wording or remove the column until the series airs on TV. As part of our back and forth, she also claimed Naruto's list is wrong because it aired dubbed on other stations first, if my assertion is correct that the first English airing is irregardless of it being subbed/dubbed and where it aired, so long as it was legal. So additional views could be used at Talk:List of InuYasha episodes#English airdate for the second series regarding that issue, and at Talk:List of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood episodes#English Airdates where the same user has also posed the question of whether the Animax airings are the valid first English airings and the table should thus be updated, after incorrectly summarizing my remarks from the InuYasha discussion. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 05:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

the main article for Code geass franchise seems pretty simple. I believe only the setting section and Geass section can be trimmed.
Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, Nunnally Lamperouge, Jeremiah Gottwald, Rolo Lamperouge holds no notability, so that can be AFD.
It's really just plot relevance that needs to be trimmed.
the OVA needs trimming or move the information to somewhere else. like character differences can be explained in there own character sections. and plot difference, I'm not so sure if it should be removed completely or be trimmed and put it in prose style. never seen this series before, but if it were up to me, i would suggest removing it completely considering OVAs usually have some plot differences.
the character articles need a lot of trimming, possibly even AFD if no third-party or second-party sources are found. Alita's article is mainly written in an in-universe style. again never seen this series so I'm not so sure what should be AFD and what should be trimmed. who ever seen this series, should remove some characters in the list article.
Concepts is what i really worry about. i think it should be trimmed then be moved to another article and possible even deleting them completely.
this one is fairly easy. it's the character articles that need work. Near's article, i suggest trim the character section and removing Interest and possibly Personality if no citation is found. Mello's article is a bit in-universe and maybe needs a bit of expansion. the shinigami article needs a lot of trimming in the overview section. some sections could be merged like concept of ryuk and ryuk in the pilot chapter.
i'll continue this in a bit. Bread Ninja ( talk) 16:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
For beyblade, the main article has a bit of explanation on the seasons and all the episodes are in one article. I suggest making them separate. as for the characters, they have made it really elaborate. more elaborate than battle star alita. still i suggest the same, trimming plot relevance to the basic and there seems to be trivia in some of these articles. so that should be removed.
As for Yu-Gi-OH! those articles have always needed trimming. the spin offs and various other articles always have large amount of info. I'll look into that some other time. Bread Ninja ( talk) 16:26, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

(for anyone curious, this is spurred by the fact that the cleanup page currently lists 28 articles needing to be merged into the nonexistent List of Dragon Ball albums, and 73 articles needing to be merged into List of Dragon Ball soundtracks.)

I had hoped that there would have been more discussion, or more explanation of everyone's positions instead of plain !votes. But there are a few things that are clear. There is no support to keep |last=
, |born=
, |death=
, |class=
and |occupation=
in the infobox as these were considered unimportant details. Barring any objections, I'll remove these fields sometime next week. There is very strong support for removing |title=
as well, though my concern is that this information will instead show up in either the |nickname=
or |alias=
fields (it already does in some cases). A couple of editors !voted to remove all in-universe information from the infobox, however, I believe this defeats the purpose of an infobox, which is to quickly summarize the important points of the character. In-universe detail are among the important points, therefor they should not be completely eliminated. So for those who !voted to remove all of the in-universe details, what in-universe details do you think are important? —

Viz, in their infinite wisdom, published things out of order and even skipped chapters when they first published the Maison Ikkoku manga in North America. So, the first collections they published do not directly correspond to the the Japanese volumes. They originally published 14 volumes collecting what they decided to originally publish of the manga. Since then, they have released the "Editor's Choice" editions which directly correspond to the Japanese volumes. So, which one do I use for the chapter list? I think I should use the original Japanese manga and the Editor's Choice collections to make the list, but this may confuse people due to the first English editions' titles being used for the current woefully-under-completed list.

Most anime only have one, maybe two English dubs, but Dragon Ball has been dubbed by eight different companies: Harmony Gold in 1988 (dubbed only one movie and the first five episodes as a pilot), Creative Products Corp. 1992~1996, FUNimation 1995~now, Westwood Media 2000~2003, AB Groupe 2001~2003, two unknown companies, and Bandai 1997 (video game Final Bout).
For character pages, every single English VA is listed except the ones from Creative Products' dub, AB Groupe, and the two unknown companies. The voice cast used by AB Groupe and the two unknown companies is unknown, so of course they aren't listed, but some of the cast from Creative Products' dub is known. So shouldn't they be listed too?

As detailed in last week's Signpost, WildBot has been patrolling Wikipedia-Books and searched for various problems in them, such as books having duplicate articles or containing redirects. WikiProject Wikipedia-Books is in the process of cleaning them up, but help would be appreciated. For this project, the following books have problems:
The problem reports explain in details what exactly are the problems, why they are problems, and how to fix them. This way anyone can fix them even if they aren't familiar with books. If you don't see something that looks like this, then all problems have been fixed. (Please strike articles from this list as the problems get fixed.)
Also, the {{ saved book}} template has been updated to allow editors to specify the default covers of books (title, subtitle, cover-image, cover-color), and gives are preview of the default cover on the book's page. An example of such a cover is found on the right. Ideally, all books in Category:WikiProject Anime and manga books should have covers.
If you need help with cleaning up a book, help with the {{ saved book}} template, or have any questions about books in general, see Help:Books, Wikipedia:Books, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, or ask me on my talk page. Also feel free to join WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as we need all the help we can get.
