Is ComicAttack RS? It's about page: About. Though it mostly focuses on OEL comics, it does have manga and anime reviews. 211.30.103.37 ( talk) 22:46, 7 July 2010 (UTC) as Extremepro ( talk · contribs)
Discussion here at RS/N. Anyone want to prove that PCS is not just "nothing more than a group blog"? Also, apparently I'm not allowed to contribute to discussion due to not logging in. I can't log in due to using Wikibreak Enforcer on my account. Nor do I want to until after November. 211.30.103.37 ( talk) 08:02, 11 July 2010 (UTC) as Extremepro ( talk · contribs)
Is there anyone who's been through a recent FLC and so knows the current interpretations of the unwritten standards (as well as anyone who isn't a regular FLC reviewer can, anyway) willing to give some pointers for List of Cross Game episodes?

Don't you think we should establish more of the format of anime and manga character articles/sections? Such enforce Main character - Supporting character - Other and/or Protagonist - Antagonist - Other? It seems like it's in inuniverse style if we left them in a certain format dedicated to the series itself rather than just inform. What do you guys think? Bread Ninja ( talk) 21:25, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Problem is this is truely a case-by-case basis. Beyond suggesting something like use protagonist/antagonist/other (plus any other applicable groups such as in List of One Piece characters and main/supporting/other (plus....) or vise-versa there really is nothing we can do. 陣 内 Jinnai 02:48, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Can someone please take a look at Fushigiboshi no Futagohime? A bunch of information about a third season was added to the article, but there aren't any sources for that and I couldn't find any mention of a third season on the Internet.

I couldn't find anything about him from Google other than that he has a deviantArt account. Calathan ( talk) 22:34, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

ANN has changed their newsfeed and now includes more "fan interest" stories along with their general hard news, reviews, columns, and press releases.

I adopted the manga wiki and have imported more than two thousand manga articles listed here in the category "Manga series". [7] Anyone know a way to import over the entire histories instead of just the most recent version, without having to save each one of them one by one? I have AutoWikiBrowser. Does it have a setting for that somewhere? Also, is there a list of every manga article that's ever been deleted? Or just any article ever deleted that has the category manga series in it. Would an administrator be able to easily search for that, and userfy them all for me so I could transwiki them all at once? Dream Focus 10:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Unless I'm blind, I've never seen any such tool - the closest an administrator could come is by doing full-text searches on individual revisions of deleted pages, which defeats the purpose of the search in the first place, or by downloading and searching through older database dumps, which requires a decidedly different skill set than most administrators have and may be rather iffy anyways depending on just how far-reaching bugzilla:23264 and related bugs are. Your best bet is probably to just keep an eye on what passes through the slaughterhouse, grabbing relevant pages as they come up, and then asking at DR for individual articles that look interesting. I'm quite excited to see you finally using your energy in a manner everyone could agree is constructive, by the way!

I'm requesting help for Magical DoReMi. On an old topic on this talk page, some users and I agreed on renaming Ojamajo Doremi into Magical DoReMi as the latter is the best known internationally, but also agreed to keep the original Japanese names for the characters as Toei's English website uses them and 4Kids has only licensed the first series.
What I'd like to do is to gather together other articles and rename them accordingly. While the main article is still named Magical DoReMi, there are articles like List of Ojamajo Doremi characters, Ojamajo Doremi discography, and List of Ojamajo Doremi episodes. I've separated the episode guides into List of Magical DoReMi episodes (season 1), List of Magical DoReMi Sharp episodes, List of Magical DoReMi 3 episodes, and List of Magical DoReMi 4 episodes, but I need to link them to List of Ojamajo Doremi episodes. Thanks. lullabying ( talk) 02:58, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Well i would say change the titles and both names, since we go by official English name first, and common English name second (of course exceptions apply). I suggest you do not separate them yet though, it seems like undue weight to split the article and still maintain the main one. Maybe you could list the links to the episodes in the main article in the same way Sailor Moon does. Bread Ninja ( talk) 05:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Of course we do use WP:COMMONNAME for most article, but when it comes to anime and manga, we go by official first. Just to clear up that it's not all articles, just the anime/manga ones. Bread Ninja ( talk) 21:21, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I guess it is because the series is popular, but recently, I've been having problems with random IPs changing the airdates for the episodes dispute the fact that the airdates are sourced to Anime Newtype Chanel. I've already placed a request for page protection but I would like more support on the article. I'm not sure if there is a coordinated effort offsite because these edits are coming in at a high rate and from different location. — Farix ( t | c) 02:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it worth reporting an IP? The IP 159.182.1.4 is once again deprodding Anime/manga articles without any given reason and has had a history of making WP:Point Arguements.

I have no problem with this IP removing PRODs what's is problematic is/was that it never replied on its talk page, never explained its depproding, never explained why those articles are relevant to Wikipedia in AfD. Its total refusal to interact with others on PRODs & AfDs subject can be viewed as rejection of collaborative works in a "I don't hear and i don't want to reply" style. -- KrebMarkt ( talk) 19:12, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Just spotted this site being added to the External links of Ulysses 31 via a template. While only a handful are anime, this template is in use on over 100 articles. I'd never heard of this site until today and the corresponding article has been previously deleted for being non-notable. It does seem genuinely useful provided the information is correct, although there's no sources cited so there's no way to know if someone transcribed the credits or just copied it all off IMDb. Looking at the title that lead me there, they rather confusingly have Ulysses 31 listed twice under the English and Japanese titles and have Telemachus and Numinor spelt multiple different ways on the same page.

I'm pretty sure this was said a while back but, I've been wanting to fix the Oh my Goddess articles and i noticed a few things. The main article has a section dedicated to the universe and another section that show's Norse Mythology references. I don't think these references are important even if they were sourced but I'm having trouble with the Universe section. Since i don't know the story of Oh My Goddess! as well as most, I'm afraid i might delete something important and no one will revert it.
The list of albums need a lot of work. For one, they need to be placed in the proper templates (track listing and nihongo), not a table. Another is add more information. I think the current format actually makes it harder to add more information. I think the best template would be this.

In case anyone has a spare $30-40, in October, Phaidon Press is releasing Manga Impact ( Amazon), which seems to be a sort of encyclopedia/essay anthology of anime.

Well, maybe not impossible if I can find a source. Recently, I've been thinking about fixing up List of Eyeshield 21 characters (including some mergers and improving individual character articles when they can be saved). I also began a new draft on one of my subpages. The only thing really keeping me from going in-depth is that I'm trying to avoid spoilers until I can read the last few volumes, which VIZ will release in months to come. In any case, I came across a roadblock when one main character didn't have an English VA listed, and ANN and even IMDb have been of no help. In addition, I can't find a reliable source for the other VAs. Eyeshield 21 was given a dub, but it seems as though only a few episodes, maybe 5, were actually released (via Toonami Jetstream).
I managed to find an old episode and look at the credits, but it doesn't list roles, just a cast list (they also spell Patrick Seitz as Patrick Sietz!). Sentai releases DVD and Crunchyroll streams, but both are sub-only. It really seems like the dub has been lost...Does the Wikiproject or Wikipedia have a policy regarding this? Or, better yet, does anyone have a reliable source for these VAs? On ANN, most are sourced with Toonami Jetstream, but it redirects to a different site, and I doubt anyone has the original page archived. I've only been able to find an official source for Tony Oliver. Here's the ANN listing. The only other website source they use is this thing and I really don't know if it's official or not. Would this issue get in the way of getting it to featured list/good article status later on? WhiteArcticWolf ( talk) 06:20, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Question for the project: I am planning to create separate music articles for

Music of Final Fantasy I and II) or List of XXX albums
(sometimes "soundtracks" or "character song singles" are substituted for "albums") (e.g.
List of Popotan soundtracks)? It would be nice to set some guidelines to distinguish among them. Thanks for the input.

Currently there is only a list of anime genres, and it has been marked as needing urgent attention. Would it be appropriate to create an article that lists the genres of both anime and manga? It would make sense to me to elaborate on each of these and add links to lists within each genre if they exist (or create such lists if they don't). In addition, I recall that in the past "progressive anime" was also listed as a genre,but it is not there any longer. Any thoughts on whether or not this genre should be included again?

Before being blocked, 159.182.1.4 ( talk) tagged a lot of Digimon related articles with {{ WikiProject Anime and manga}}. At one time, anything tagged with {{ WikiProject DIGI}} was also considered part of WP:ANIME, so there was no need to double tag the articles. But since then, WP:DIGI has largely become inactive and its template has been converted to using {{ WPBannerMeta}} which has dropped all tracking by the WP:ANIME's quality assessment.
So here is the question. Do we want to absorb WP:DIGI as a work group, albeit an inactive one, of WP:ANIME? And if not, to what extent should the two project templates coexists with each other? — Farix ( t | c) 17:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
I have added the necessary functionality for absorbing WP:DIGI to our banner sandbox; it can be viewed on the testcases pages.

I might be a little late, but no objection from me either. The last few of us that were active with WP:DIGI got really active at the Digimon Wiki on Wikia when we moved most of the articles there. I myself haven't been active on either wikis for a few years. Keeping it around ask a task force/work group is a good idea, as they've just started up with another anime. I've also think the Digimon work group would make for a good unofficial bridge between Wikipedia and the Digimon Wiki, for cleaning up some of the less notable articles and such. -- Ned Scott 06:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
I've been off Wiki for a few weeks and I found that an IP editor has added our banner to a number of digimon articles. So we now have like 100 unassessed articles that are mostly unreferenced individual character articles.
Anyway, long story short. A lot of these really need to be merged or deleted, I'd rather not assess them if they're going to be merged. But given the scale of this task, I was wondering if I could get some help with these. I don't know the status of Wikipedia:WikiProject Digimon, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to take care of these articles. -- Kraftlos ( Talk | Contrib) 23:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

An editor is asking to restore two character articles from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. The articles are Syaoran (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle) and Sakura (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle). I've tried to discuss with the editor what is needed before either article can be restored, but the discussion can use some additional feedback.

there is a bit of confusion on the "shonen Jump" articles. so i'll just suggest if we could remove the "shonen jump" redirect on Weekly Shonen Jump and rename Shonen Jump (magazine) to "Shonen Jump" by itself. what do you guys think? Bread Ninja ( talk) 04:02, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
After removing two edits from Strawberry 100% and Anedoki about user ratings form Manga Updates, which engages in the distribution of manga scanlations without the author's consent, the editor who included the ratings is protesting Manga Updates being called an unreliable source. [1] They claim that they don't find reviews by "official" reviewers, such as ANN and Mania.com, to be "bias and unreliable," but because they find Manga Update's user generated reviews and ratings more useful to them, the website is therefore "reliable".
I won't be able to participate in the discussion for the next couple of days as I heading to a family reunion and then going to the State Fair. So if there is a response, I'd like another editor to fill in for me. — Farix ( t | c) 12:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm currently having a dispute on Angel Beats! on the ordering of the infoboxes. Per what is recommended at Template:Infobox animanga#Usage, I attempted to make the argument that the infoboxes should be listed in a chronological ordering per their release. Angel Beats! is an original anime project, but a series of short stories and a manga were serialized before the anime aired (though the production of the anime itself pre-dates the short stories and manga by about 2 years). Because of this the light novel and manga boxes were above the anime box, but User:Gariya seems adamant that the primary work (anime) should be listed first in case readers are confused as to what is the primary work, despite the lead and rest of the article making it very clear that it was an anime project first. In a related issue, the same user switched the ordering of the infoboxes in Heroman, despite the anime being based on the manga.
I would like to get the project's opinion on this issue, even though it only affects a small number of articles. Should the primary work always be listed first in the infobox, or should it be kept in a chronological listing per what is recommended for consistency.-- 十 八 09:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Heroman is an original anime project. It was announced in 2008 in the Japanese anime Magazine NewType as a collaboration project between Stan Lee and Studio Bones. The manga was made to promote and to introduce, and also to create a hype for Heroman. It's just like how a movie OST is released before the movie release. In the manga, you can see that the story writer is credited as "BONES". That alone is enough proof that Heroman is an original anime project by Bones and Stan Lee. You not knowing the fact that the Heroman manga was based on the anime despite being released before the anime only to promote the anime itself is a proof that the article must be changed to avoid confusion. And also, the SoRaNoWoTo page on wikipedia still maintains the anime infobox above the manga despite the manga was released a couple days before the anime aired. Well of course, since SoRaNoWoTo is an anime original project for Anime no Chikara time-slot that shows only original anime. And that is a correct order of the infobox. Also, I've seen a lot of people that are still mistaking Angel Beats as a light-novel turned into anime. That's also proof that the infobox must be changed to have the primary project at the top, because even by the chronology of the idea and the planning of the project itself, the anime comes first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gariya ( talk • contribs) 16:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

> How does Category:Japanese pop art have anything to do with anime or Manga?
> Japanese pop art ... is horribly non-obvious, counterintuitive, and inapplicable
And my favorite:
> 'Pop Art' instead of 'Anime and Manga' just reeks of trolling.
Trolling? Are you serious? You guys really hate that phrase, don't you? :) It seemed obvious to me based on the parent categories: Two parents of Category:Anime are "Japanese pop culture" and "Arts in Japan", and two parents of Category:Manga are "Japanese art" and "Japanese pop culture", so I thought "Japanese pop art" would be a good description for both of them. Are anime and manga not art? Are they not popular? Are they not Japanese, at least traditionally? What's wrong with "Japanese pop art" as a conceptual description, even if the phrase isn't a well-established convention? — Codrdan ( talk) 19:11, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
All of the pages involving both anime and manga are miscategorized under Category:Anime and/or Category:Manga. Category:Anime should be about anime only, not manga, and Category:Manga should be about manga only, not anime, so anything involving both anime and manga should be in a higher-level parent category. I created Category:Japanese pop art and moved Category:Anime, Category:Manga, and all anime-and-manga content into it, but User:TheFarix undid all of those changes. If you don't understand why the current categories are incorrect, please read WP:CAT or ask someone on the WP:CAT talk page. — Codrdan ( talk) 13:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm probably missing something obvioius, but what is the reason for having the lower levels of the category tree combined into "anime and manga" categories, rather than keeping two parallel sets of categories—one for anime and one for manga—and placing articles relevant to both topics into both category trees? I would guess the main issue would be the overhead involved in maintaining the "duplicate" categories; is that the case, or is there some more fundamental problem with that approach? Kirill [talk] [prof] 23:12, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Please comment (and/or Support or Oppose) on the following proposals:
There seems to be a great deal of confusion regarding what is the proposal of Codrdan. I will attempt to exemplify it so that the changes in categories get as clear as possible so that a true consensus could be reached. Codrdan, feel free to comment as you see fit.
The original option mentioned by Codrdan was to create a "super category" that was to be called either Category:Japanese pop art or Category:Anime and manga which would be the parent of all Category:Anime and manga by genre (and the "grandparent" of Category:Science fiction anime and manga) and also the parent of both Category:Anime and Category:Manga. This way Doraemeon would remain as it is but the problem of Category:Anime and Category:Manga being parents of Category:Anime and manga by genre gets resolved and WP:CAT is no longer an issue. This is no longer the option, but because of the way it was presented, it caused a lot of confusion that eventually became option two. Jfgslo ( talk) 01:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
I thought there was a decent consensus for Category:Anime and manga in the "miscategorized" discussion, so I created the category and moved all related material into it. As I mentioned earlier, this is just standard Wikipedia categorization practice, so it's not a radical move. Farix has complained about it though, so maybe there needs to be some kind of more explicit discussion about it. Thank you Farix for at least not undoing everything. — Codrdan ( talk) 11:59, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Maybe I'm finally starting to get a clue about this place. You anime buffs seem to be using Category:Anime and Category:Manga as association tags rather than parent categories. You're putting a Category:Anime tag on every article that's related to anime, even if it's also about manga and/or other things, and likewise for Category:Manga. Technically speaking, this is not in line with WP:CAT, but maybe a tag system is more helpful for individual articles, since so many of them are combined. The only things that really need to be reorganized are the "anime and manga" categories, since they're obviously metacatories of Category:Anime and manga. So don't worry about recategorizing individual articles. These options (or at least the "organize" option) are only about the overall structure of the top-level categories. — Codrdan ( talk) 06:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I adopted the manga wiki and have imported more than two thousand manga articles listed here in the category "Manga series". [7] Anyone know a way to import over the entire histories instead of just the most recent version, without having to save each one of them one by one? I have AutoWikiBrowser. Does it have a setting for that somewhere? Also, is there a list of every manga article that's ever been deleted? Or just any article ever deleted that has the category manga series in it. Would an administrator be able to easily search for that, and userfy them all for me so I could transwiki them all at once? Dream Focus 10:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Unless I'm blind, I've never seen any such tool - the closest an administrator could come is by doing full-text searches on individual revisions of deleted pages, which defeats the purpose of the search in the first place, or by downloading and searching through older database dumps, which requires a decidedly different skill set than most administrators have and may be rather iffy anyways depending on just how far-reaching bugzilla:23264 and related bugs are. Your best bet is probably to just keep an eye on what passes through the slaughterhouse, grabbing relevant pages as they come up, and then asking at DR for individual articles that look interesting.

I'm requesting help for Magical DoReMi. On an old topic on this talk page, some users and I agreed on renaming Ojamajo Doremi into Magical DoReMi as the latter is the best known internationally, but also agreed to keep the original Japanese names for the characters as Toei's English website uses them and 4Kids has only licensed the first series.
What I'd like to do is to gather together other articles and rename them accordingly. While the main article is still named Magical DoReMi, there are articles like List of Ojamajo Doremi characters, Ojamajo Doremi discography, and List of Ojamajo Doremi episodes. I've separated the episode guides into List of Magical DoReMi episodes (season 1), List of Magical DoReMi Sharp episodes, List of Magical DoReMi 3 episodes, and List of Magical DoReMi 4 episodes, but I need to link them to List of Ojamajo Doremi episodes.

Well i would say change the titles and both names, since we go by official English name first, and common English name second (of course exceptions apply). I suggest you do not separate them yet though, it seems like undue weight to split the article and still maintain the main one.

Just spotted this site being added to the External links of Ulysses 31 via a template. While only a handful are anime, this template is in use on over 100 articles. I'd never heard of this site until today and the corresponding article has been previously deleted for being non-notable. It does seem genuinely useful provided the information is correct, although there's no sources cited so there's no way to know if someone transcribed the credits or just copied it all off IMDb. Looking at the title that lead me there, they rather confusingly have Ulysses 31 listed twice under the English and Japanese titles and have Telemachus and Numinor spelt multiple different ways on the same page.

I'm pretty sure this was said a while back but, I've been wanting to fix the Oh my Goddess articles and i noticed a few things.

Well, maybe not impossible if I can find a source. Recently, I've been thinking about fixing up List of Eyeshield 21 characters (including some mergers and improving individual character articles when they can be saved). I also began a new draft on one of my subpages. The only thing really keeping me from going in-depth is that I'm trying to avoid spoilers until I can read the last few volumes, which VIZ will release in months to come. In any case, I came across a roadblock when one main character didn't have an English VA listed, and ANN and even IMDb have been of no help. In addition, I can't find a reliable source for the other VAs. Eyeshield 21 was given a dub, but it seems as though only a few episodes, maybe 5, were actually released (via Toonami Jetstream).
I managed to find an old episode and look at the credits, but it doesn't list roles, just a cast list (they also spell Patrick Seitz as Patrick Sietz!). Sentai releases DVD and Crunchyroll streams, but both are sub-only. It really seems like the dub has been lost...Does the Wikiproject or Wikipedia have a policy regarding this? Or, better yet, does anyone have a reliable source for these VAs? On ANN, most are sourced with Toonami Jetstream, but it redirects to a different site, and I doubt anyone has the original page archived.

An RfC is in progress questioning regarding the italicizing of article titles through DISPLAYTITLE. The guideline currently restricts the use of this feature to "special cases" per the previous RfC at Template talk:Italic title#RFC: Should this be used?. The current RfC questions whether WikiProjects have the right/ability to determine if it should be used on additional titles, and if it should be allowed to be used at all.

Question for the project: I am planning to create separate music articles for
Angel Beats! and
K-On!, but there seems to be a discrepancy between the way music articles are named. Is it better to name the article Music of XXX
(e.g.
Music of Final Fantasy I and II) or List of XXX albums
(sometimes "soundtracks" or "character song singles" are substituted for "albums") (e.g.
List of Popotan soundtracks)? It would be nice to set some guidelines to distinguish among them. Thanks for the input.

Hi,
just asking if anyone can keep tab with Yomiuri Shimbun art column as there are coverages for manga & anime series. The challenge comes that stuffs need to be archived through webcitation as articles are deleted after a while replaced by more recent ones.

Over the past few of days, S13854 ( talk · contribs) has been adding an attendance chart to the article on Tsubasacon. [13] [14] [15] I have repeatedly removed the chart and informed the editor that the chart is inappropriate for the article and that the past events table already gives the information, however the editor keeps adding the chart back in. [16] Since I am involved with the convention, I am familiar with all of the staffers nyms, but this isn't one that I recognized.
The question is, are attendance charge like this one useful for articles about conventions or are they just redundant information? — Farix ( t | c) 01:49, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Currently there is only a list of anime genres, and it has been marked as needing urgent attention. Would it be appropriate to create an article that lists the genres of both anime and manga? It would make sense to me to elaborate on each of these and add links to lists within each genre if they exist (or create such lists if they don't). In addition, I recall that in the past "progressive anime" was also listed as a genre,but it is not there any longer. Any thoughts on whether or not this genre should be included again? There are certainly enough works to validate its presence, imho. ( mentis ( talk) 16:39, 31 July 2010 (UTC))

Before being blocked, 159.182.1.4 ( talk) tagged a lot of Digimon related articles with {{ WikiProject Anime and manga}}. At one time, anything tagged with {{ WikiProject DIGI}} was also considered part of WP:ANIME, so there was no need to double tag the articles. But since then, WP:DIGI has largely become inactive and its template has been converted to using {{ WPBannerMeta}} which has dropped all tracking by the WP:ANIME's quality assessment.
So here is the question. Do we want to absorb WP:DIGI as a work group, albeit an inactive one, of WP:ANIME? And if not, to what extent should the two project templates coexists with each other? — Farix ( t | c) 17:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
I have added the necessary functionality for absorbing WP:DIGI to our banner sandbox; it can be viewed on the testcases pages. Note that the link and categories are redlinks since I went ahead and used the post-absorption titles instead of the current ones, and that I replicated all category behavior from the current WP:DIGI banner.

My opinion is that the digimon project should be absorbed into WP:Anime/Manga and I am in favor of the move. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 00:10, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
I might be a little late, but no objection from me either. The last few of us that were active with WP:DIGI got really active at the Digimon Wiki on Wikia when we moved most of the articles there. I myself haven't been active on either wikis for a few years. Keeping it around ask a task force/work group is a good idea, as they've just started up with another anime. I've also think the Digimon work group would make for a good unofficial bridge between Wikipedia and the Digimon Wiki, for cleaning up some of the less notable articles and such. -- Ned Scott 06:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
I've been off Wiki for a few weeks and I found that an IP editor has added our banner to a number of digimon articles. So we now have like 100 unassessed articles that are mostly unreferenced individual character articles.
Anyway, long story short. A lot of these really need to be merged or deleted, I'd rather not assess them if they're going to be merged. But given the scale of this task, I was wondering if I could get some help with these. I don't know the status of Wikipedia:WikiProject Digimon, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to take care of these articles. -- Kraftlos ( Talk | Contrib) 23:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

After removing two edits from Strawberry 100% and Anedoki about user ratings form Manga Updates, which engages in the distribution of manga scanlations without the author's consent, the editor who included the ratings is protesting Manga Updates being called an unreliable source. [1] They claim that they don't find reviews by "official" reviewers, such as ANN and Mania.com, to be "bias and unreliable," but because they find Manga Update's user generated reviews and ratings more useful to them, the website is therefore "reliable".
I won't be able to participate in the discussion for the next couple of days as I heading to a family reunion and then going to the State Fair. So if there is a response, I'd like another editor to fill in for me. — Farix ( t | c) 12:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm currently having a dispute on Angel Beats! on the ordering of the infoboxes. Per what is recommended at Template:Infobox animanga#Usage, I attempted to make the argument that the infoboxes should be listed in a chronological ordering per their release. Angel Beats! is an original anime project, but a series of short stories and a manga were serialized before the anime aired (though the production of the anime itself pre-dates the short stories and manga by about 2 years). Because of this the light novel and manga boxes were above the anime box, but User:Gariya seems adamant that the primary work (anime) should be listed first in case readers are confused as to what is the primary work, despite the lead and rest of the article making it very clear that it was an anime project first. In a related issue, the same user switched the ordering of the infoboxes in Heroman, despite the anime being based on the manga.
I would like to get the project's opinion on this issue, even though it only affects a small number of articles. Should the primary work always be listed first in the infobox, or should it be kept in a chronological listing per what is recommended for consistency.-- 十 八 09:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Heroman is an original anime project. It was announced in 2008 in the Japanese anime Magazine NewType as a collaboration project between Stan Lee and Studio Bones. The manga was made to promote and to introduce, and also to create a hype for Heroman. It's just like how a movie OST is released before the movie release. In the manga, you can see that the story writer is credited as "BONES". That alone is enough proof that Heroman is an original anime project by Bones and Stan Lee. You not knowing the fact that the Heroman manga was based on the anime despite being released before the anime only to promote the anime itself is a proof that the article must be changed to avoid confusion. And also, the SoRaNoWoTo page on wikipedia still maintains the anime infobox above the manga despite the manga was released a couple days before the anime aired. Well of course, since SoRaNoWoTo is an anime original project for Anime no Chikara time-slot that shows only original anime. And that is a correct order of the infobox. Also, I've seen a lot of people that are still mistaking Angel Beats as a light-novel turned into anime. That's also proof that the infobox must be changed to have the primary project at the top, because even by the chronology of the idea and the planning of the project itself, the anime comes first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gariya ( talk • contribs) 16:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

> How does Category:Japanese pop art have anything to do with anime or Manga?
> Japanese pop art ... is horribly non-obvious, counterintuitive, and inapplicable
And my favorite:
> 'Pop Art' instead of 'Anime and Manga' just reeks of trolling.
Trolling? Are you serious? You guys really hate that phrase, don't you? :) It seemed obvious to me based on the parent categories: Two parents of Category:Anime are "Japanese pop culture" and "Arts in Japan", and two parents of Category:Manga are "Japanese art" and "Japanese pop culture", so I thought "Japanese pop art" would be a good description for both of them. Are anime and manga not art? Are they not popular? Are they not Japanese, at least traditionally? What's wrong with "Japanese pop art" as a conceptual description, even if the phrase isn't a well-established convention? — Codrdan ( talk) 19:11, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
All of the pages involving both anime and manga are miscategorized under Category:Anime and/or Category:Manga. Category:Anime should be about anime only, not manga, and Category:Manga should be about manga only, not anime, so anything involving both anime and manga should be in a higher-level parent category. I created Category:Japanese pop art and moved Category:Anime, Category:Manga, and all anime-and-manga content into it, but User:TheFarix undid all of those changes. If you don't understand why the current categories are incorrect, please read WP:CAT or ask someone on the WP:CAT talk page. — Codrdan ( talk) 13:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm probably missing something obvioius, but what is the reason for having the lower levels of the category tree combined into "anime and manga" categories, rather than keeping two parallel sets of categories—one for anime and one for manga—and placing articles relevant to both topics into both category trees? I would guess the main issue would be the overhead involved in maintaining the "duplicate" categories; is that the case, or is there some more fundamental problem with that approach? Kirill [talk] [prof] 23:12, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Please comment (and/or Support or Oppose) on the following proposals:
There seems to be a great deal of confusion regarding what is the proposal of Codrdan. I will attempt to exemplify it so that the changes in categories get as clear as possible so that a true consensus could be reached. Codrdan, feel free to comment as you see fit.
The original option mentioned by Codrdan was to create a "super category" that was to be called either Category:Japanese pop art or Category:Anime and manga which would be the parent of all Category:Anime and manga by genre (and the "grandparent" of Category:Science fiction anime and manga) and also the parent of both Category:Anime and Category:Manga. This way Doraemeon would remain as it is but the problem of Category:Anime and Category:Manga being parents of Category:Anime and manga by genre gets resolved and WP:CAT is no longer an issue. This is no longer the option, but because of the way it was presented, it caused a lot of confusion that eventually became option two. Jfgslo ( talk) 01:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
I thought there was a decent consensus for Category:Anime and manga in the "miscategorized" discussion, so I created the category and moved all related material into it. As I mentioned earlier, this is just standard Wikipedia categorization practice, so it's not a radical move. Farix has complained about it though, so maybe there needs to be some kind of more explicit discussion about it. Thank you Farix for at least not undoing everything. — Codrdan ( talk) 11:59, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Maybe I'm finally starting to get a clue about this place. You anime buffs seem to be using Category:Anime and Category:Manga as association tags rather than parent categories. You're putting a Category:Anime tag on every article that's related to anime, even if it's also about manga and/or other things, and likewise for Category:Manga. Technically speaking, this is not in line with WP:CAT, but maybe a tag system is more helpful for individual articles, since so many of them are combined. The only things that really need to be reorganized are the "anime and manga" categories, since they're obviously metacatories of Category:Anime and manga. So don't worry about recategorizing individual articles. These options (or at least the "organize" option) are only about the overall structure of the top-level categories. — Codrdan ( talk) 06:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
