I would like to request some help with mediation. There is an edit-war going on with another user, who I feel is being completely irrational, unreasonable, slanted, and immune to matter of fact logic: /info/en/?search=Talk:List_of_Tenchi_Muyo!_characters /info/en/?search=User_talk:David_A#Beyonder /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/BeyonderGod
To clarify a bit, I have encountered this editor "BeyonderGod" previously in the Wikia community, where he got himself permanently globally blocked after 3 months of constant relentless completely unreasonable trolling, edit-warring, harrassment, long extremely vulgar homophobic slur insult tirades, sockpuppetry (HagoromoOtsutsuki, OfficialRikudouSennin, likely others), widespread lying plagiarism of a previously created community (the Outskirts Battle Dome), etcetera, and he has a massive fixation for both the character Beyonder and the term Omniverse, and almost consistently calls himself an almighty God who lives in heaven in his various handles. Most of his more severe stuff, including a written guide in how to successfully troll people, was deleted by Wikia staff, but here is an example of his usual fare towards my other handle name: http://definithing.com/100284/antvasima/ However, he hasn't yet performed his usual infamous behaviour here, beyond the misinformation-mongering, creating nonsense articles or writing minor threats.
He also has a major mad-on for Tenchi Muyo, strictly due to the fact that I love the franchise, and thus he has consistently attempted to hurt me by relentlessly attacking/slandering/inserting illogical and uninformed misinformation about the franchise, whether on several different Wikias, on ComicVine, on several other forum communities, or now here on Wikipedia. All of this has been done over the span of several months during thousands of different posts and extremely badly spelled article edits.
As I mentioned above, I would appreciate help with resolving this matter, as I do not wish to have to deal with his trolling, and edit-warring vandalism here for prolonged periods of time, as I had to do on Wikia. Just check up the discussion in the Talk page, and try to mediate and rationally analyse the matter, that is all that I ask. Thank you. David A ( talk) 17:09, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
In an effort to provide more elaborate information:
"BeyonderGod"/"HagoromoOtsutsuki"/"OfficialRikudouSennin"/likely otherswas first banned from several wikis that he has participated on for systematic multi-wiki trolling vandalism, harrassment, and continuously insulting unreasonability.
He was permanently globally blocked by wikia staff for several months of the above across several wikis, as well as plagiarising the original Outskirts Battle Dome wiki name and widespread systematic lying about his ownership across several communities (his wiki was deleted when the real owners complained), long disgusting homophobic slur texts inserted as insults on other people's user pages, singlehandedly edit-warring to extremes with entire wikia communities, and a written guide in how to successfully troll people, and another about the people who get emotionally hurt and/or exhausted from his absolutely relentless neverending trolling, whom he consistently call "butthurt", naming me by name.
In addition, he has already created various power listing wikis, and they continuously kept a very lacklustre quality with lots of apparently deliberate inaccurate information strictly to troll fans of different franchises.
After his global block, he has continued to spam several communities, including ComicVine, Spacebattles, Killermovies, and even Deviantart. Constantly spamming about the Beyonder and systematically slamming other franchises to cause hurt feelings for their fans over a few thousands of separate posts.
List of his trolling and harrassment on the Powerlisting wiki alone, back in mid-September, with lots more to follow in the 3 months since: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Antvasima#List_of_BeyonderGod.27s_trolling
He admits to doing lots of trolling vandalism to "get rid of competition": http://factpile.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:BeyonderGod/Admin_ship
His usual trolling homophobic slur insults, and comments about me being a "butthurt" systematic victim of his trolling (due to my severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is extremely taxing for me in the long run): http://definithing.com/antvasima/ https://imgflip.com/i/dio9g
Here he ignores the global Wikia ban with several of his school network's auto-generated ip addresses to systematically troll and harrass me again: http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.230.108 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/172.56.5.190 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.228.91 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.228.85 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/172.56.4.140 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/176.50.191.153 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.230.115 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.230.114
Given all of the above, I would greatly appreciate if some members of the Anime and Manga Wikipedia community could please attempt to mediate on this page, as I am consistently mentally exhausted from having to constantly deal with him for over 5 months: /info/en/?search=Talk:List_of_Tenchi_Muyo!_characters

I've started some rudimentary cleanup on this article because it was utterly dreadful considering the status this series has. Especially as the series is starting to become reasonably available in the US (and anywhere in Europe that might have it). At the very least I think it deserves a good go at a half decent article. If anyone wants to help it would be most welcome, any sourced information would be an improvement to be honest. SephyTheThird ( talk) 02:03, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi. While I've created a separate episode list for the Lord Marksman and Vanadis article, I was wondering if anyone who is familiar with the light novels would help expand the light novel section as I am doing right now in my sandbox. I think we need to help translate the afterwords in the light novels.

Hey, the article for Doraemon (character) is up for deletion via AfD. This seems like a pretty notable character (I've been told that he's pretty much the Japanese Mickey Mouse as far as popularity goes) and there should be sourcing, but it'd likely be predominantly in Japanese, which I can neither speak nor read. Can any of you help look for sourcing? I'd hate to see this get deleted because of a language barrier. I've posted this same thing in WP:JAPAN, but I figure that the more help I can get to look for sources the better. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

I suspect all or most of the plot summaries on List of Black Butler episodes have been copied from other websites. Or maybe just the "Book of Circus" section. I don't have much experience in the copyright area of Wikipedia, so can someone please tell me if this is a problem? I think the summaries are mostly from fan sites. — Msmarmalade ( talk) 10:16, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Ok, I googled text from all the Book of Circus summaries and they seem ok; they were mostly added by User:Exukvera. But they do often (not always) appear on these websites: tvmuse.com, fanpop.com. I think in this case those sites copied off Wikipedia. @ SephyTheThird: Which episode did you check and where did you find the official blurb? I'm having trouble with the summary of OVA 5 of season 2, which appears on a lot of websites.— Msmarmalade ( talk) 05:58, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
I've gotten together a good number of magazines from the early/mid 90s now. I'm still checking the issue numbers but I have most of the first 5 years of Animerica, most of the first 40 issues of Manga Mania, 20ish issues of Protoculture Addicts and the first 20 issues of Anime Uk. While I have stuff from 2000 onwards, the 90s are my current focus.
Now is a good time for me to go through them and scan articles for people who need them or find release dates etc. Chances are that if it had a NA release during the 90s, I can help or make a note for the future when I fill in the gaps. Many shows from before than are also covered. While the Xmas holiday is a good time for me to do this, I plan to keep this as an ongoing thing so I will keep an eye out for any requests. Any I can't help with, or new stuff turns up later, I can keep an eye for.
Release dates I can add to the article myself, as well as any other small pieces of info as this is quick and easy for me to do. I do have some small rules; If you want a feature to use for rewriting a page and don't have a reputation for writing good pages, then it will be helpful if you have tried to work on the page already. Any requests for scans of an entire magazine will be ignored, no exceptions.
All requests for sources should go to this page so I can keep a list. SephyTheThird ( talk) 20:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
I really need help with List of Space Battleship Yamato III episodes, List of Space Battleship Yamato II episodes and any help on any other related Yamato articles would be great. Dwanyewest ( talk) 15:21, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Personally I would think that giving the series a decent main page would be a better priority, especially considering how extremely significant the series is to Japanese animation history. I can provide sources to anyone seriously interested in working on the article, but it's not a project I can give serious time to myself (I'm tied up with Lupin). I might be able to help out a little though. Airdates are easy, and so are home release details. However this is not a small project and needs dedication, or at the very least some good experience in this type of project. I might do a quick "clean up".

Whoever made these pages was a little too into the series, and the pages are pretty fancrufty and not formatted into proper Wikipedia Encyclopedic articles. The series concists of two live action films, several comic series, and one animated film. I've cleaned up the film pages but have not done much for the others. I don't know enough about the series, I don't know if some pages should be merged into other pages or what.

Some pages will say that a manga was adapted into an "anime" with no further explanation. So does that mean animated movie, OVA, short film, etc. A lot of people in English speaking nations use the singular term "anime" to mean "anime television series". However, "Anime" is just short for animation. We should ensure that we're more clear.
Do not do the following:
<Series name> was adapted into a 1998 anime
Do the following:
<Series name> was adapted into a 26 episode anime television series
<Series name> was adapted into an 8 part OVA series
<Series name> was adapted into an anime film

I need some help with the article A-Girl, which is currently up for deletion. The series was never released in English so sources are scarce in this language, but I get the feeling that there should be some sources in Japanese given that it had an OVA made almost 10 years after its initial release. Anyone here fluent in Japanese that wants to help look for sources? Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:18, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
I am going through all of the articles under our scope and getting rid of the cleanup needed tags that do not address the issues the article has ("This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards").

009 Re:Cyborg is a 2012 Japanese anime film by Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell, Eden of the East). The film takes place in Cyborg 009's future timeline.
I've noticed on a few pages editors will add in the previous works that artists/directors have done. This is not needed. Other works should be listed only if they are relevant to the topic directly in some way. If readers wish to learn about the careers of the people involved in the production they can click on their article and read up on them. Also, if there are multiple people mentioned in the leed, and editors try to list all their past works, it can become harder to read which is not needed.
Whenever I see this, I remove it. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 00:14, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
It would be really appreciated if a few of you could help watch Kantai Collection (anime) for regular insertion of fancruft and other unnecessary content.

I've started a discussion on how the infobox template is placing articles into visible (i.e., non-cleanup) categories. I don't think it should be doing that. The discussion is at Template talk:Infobox animanga#Template:Infobox animanga and page categorization.
I don't see anything on Wikia saying it's content can be freely taken and reused (compared to Wikipedia which does). Someone has dumped the entire episode summaries of a series from Wikia into an article.

Hello! This is my first GA review of an Anime/Manga article (and in general), and I have a question about the necessity of providing the foreign link to articles within the paragraphs. In the influences subsection of the the Development section and the Film subsection of the Media section of the article, two links for each section contain an unpublished English article with the Japanese link in parentheses (ja) next to the article. I'm not so sure if it's permissible, so I've decided to ask for assistance in this manner. Would I need to suggest that the editor place the name of the person or work in its original script (whether it's kanji, hiragana, etc.) and remove the (ja) link to the Japanese page, request the Japanese script in place of the (ja) and keep the link to the Japanese Wikipedia, or do I need to do something else? Please respond as soon as you can. I haven't place my official review yet, as I still need to check the sources and reread the article for potential errors. Thanks for reading! LeftAire ( talk) 20:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Do we really need this? It doesn't bother me if this gets prodded or not, but if we're keeping it then someone should update it with the franchise's other works.

We currently have 568 BLP articles needing additional sources articles lacking sources. To me this is not right and is something we as a project should focus on. I did a sweep here on some and found that there are many that just rely on one reference or have external links count as references. Another trend I saw was copy/pasted info from ANN's user edited encyclopedia. Does anyone know a way this can be tackled? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 03:18, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
: The problem I see with tackling these is that even if a filmography becomes sufficiently sourced to remove the tag, like what I've done with
Troy Baker, it doesn't really improve the article to a higher assessment like a decent biographical writeup would, so it becomes difficult to get motivated to do the work. We need folks who like to write biographies and describe how the person is contributing to the manga and anime industry, highlighting their significant roles. -

06:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC) Sorry this rant would require a lot more than we have people to handle, so back to the task at hand.
Any updates to this? We could try translating biographies from respective Japanese Wikipedia articles. The problem is that Japanese articles are full of trivia. At least some info has sources. Is this a good idea? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 15:06, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
Chris there are no people to fix them, they have sat as needing sources for years and it isn't just a few that have this. I understand the WP:BEFORE policy and I don't want to do it this way but unless somehow we get the work done the articles are just going to sit there. I can only do so much, if nobody is willing to help out then deletion is better than potentially wrong information in a BLP article. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 17:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
For seiyuu articles though which are mainly composed of a filmography, are BLP sources tags even necessary? I know the BLP policy and all, but the policy is basically just a stricter implementation of WP:V, which states that everything in an article should be verifiable and that any content likely to be challenged should be sourced. Given that roles can easily be verified by clicking on respective article links, do the articles even need to be tagged in the first place?
Also, in a related topic, we really need to beef up our biographies with, well, biographies. Even some of our articles on the most popular seiyuu like Ayana Taketatsu are just glorified filmographies. I translated Kana Hanazawa's biography from the Japanese Wikipedia a few months ago, but there's still more work to be done.
Finally, in order to further improve our seiyuu biographies, I think it would be a good idea to contact seiyuu agencies and ask them if they could donate free images for their seiyuu. What do you think? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 10:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
I've added the section Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Biography#Process_for_clearing_out_sourcing_tags. This should help categorize some of the work on "unsourced" bios. It also has a statement saying that the filmography section can be referenced using primaries. - AngusWOOF ( talk) 22:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
The recent prod of AnimeVillage had me looking at our coverage of Bandai Entertainment. Bandai Entertainment was at one point one of the main companies releasing anime in the US, so I'm surprised that we don't have an article on it. Currently, Bandai Entertainment is a redirect to a section of Bandai Visual, listing Bandai Entertainment as a subsidiary of Bandai Visual. I might be mistaken, but I think this information is incorrect, and that Bandai Entertainment was never a subsidiary of Bandai Visual. Instead, both were separate subsidiaries of Bandai Namco Holdings (though Bandai Visual's actual US subsidiary did get combined into Bandai Entertainment at one point). So I think even the one paragraph we currently have on Bandai Entertainment is in an article where it doesn't belong. I think the best solution to the situation is to undo the redirect of Bandai Entertainment, changing it back into an article, and to remove that paragraph from the Bandai Visual article. However, to do so would require enough sources on Bandai Entertainment to pass the notability guidelines. I've very certain that Anime News Network has lots of coverage of Bandai Entertainment. Is anyone aware of any other good sources besides ANN that could be used to support an article on Bandai Entertainment (anything sufficient to show notability)? Also, about AnimeVillage, my understanding is that it was originally both the name and website of Bandai Entertainment, and afterwards was just a website run by them (which was at one point shut down, then brought back a few years later in a different form, then shut down again). I think if we are able to make an article on Bandai Entertainment, then the AnimeVillage page should be undeleted and merged to the Bandai Entertainment page. Anyway, does anyone have any opinions on this or know of any sources that we could use? Calathan ( talk) 20:39, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello, it's me again. I've encountered a mix of reviewers that feel that the article isn't ready because of the overlapping of material of the manga and the film, and other users who are taking on the process of fixing errors I noted. There were errors that I thought of fixing, but I wonder if the prose is truly GA worthy after re-reading the article. I wanted to ask for a second opinion, and see if it is GA worthy. Please respond when you get the chance, and hopefully I'll be able to respond sometime tonight. LeftAire ( talk) 22:41, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Articles on distinct but related topics may well contain a significant amount of information in common with one another. This does not make either of the two articles a content fork. As an example, clearly Joséphine de Beauharnais will contain a significant amount of information also in Napoleon I of France; this does not make it a fork.In this case the "film" is an oddball, it is not a faithful adaptation and it is a small part of the whole work. Appropriately, these differences in themes should be given to the reader to not only understand these differences exist, but the context and differences themselves. It is comprehensive - at a Featured Article level - and to use the comparative analysis by showing the film's messiah focus with Miyazaki's animistic focus. So I believe the information depth is fine because of the necessity of giving this information to the reader. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 14:39, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

RisaPlayer88 is just the latest editor to add in English air dates to anime series that have not been picked up for any satellite, cable, or other TV network. While many of these series may be available from streaming websites, the use of "English air date"—which implies that the series was broadcasted on a satellite, cable, or other TV network—is grossly misleading. If we go with the dates the series is available via streams, then those dates should reflect the simulcast dates of the subtitled version. — Farix ( t | c) 18:58, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

With regards to a previous discussion about the inclusion of English air dates, we have a problem over at the Fairy Tail lists. It seems as though some editors have been using the DVD release dates in place of actual TV broadcasts. Can someone take a look and include the actual dates when the episodes were broadcast on Funimation Channel or some other TV network? I don't have access to the the Funimation channel so I can't perform any kind of verification. Thanks. —KirtZ Message 05:51, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Doorknob747 has recently added a link to a G Gundam Facebook fanpage to Anime. The first time he added the link, he prompted readers to "go like the page and followit". Naturally, this is linkspam and the link has nothing to do with the general topic of anime, so I removed it. However, Doorknob747 insisted that the link is appropriate and qualifies under WP:ELMAYBE #4. [4] Despite an explanation that unofficial fanpages do not fall under that criteria, [5] he insists on keeping the link in the article. [6] [7] Also note that this editor also edits under the IP 72.68.241.249 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) and has attempted to add the link to other articles.

I'll review your edits to LaFerrari and provide you with various advice.( [16]).
One way that editors may use to check for notability of individual manga series is by going through lists of past issues of magazines about manga (in other words they are third parties writing articles about them).
Some possibilities:
It would be important to know about the Japanese manga magazines. Having such a list and/or having contacts over at JAWiki who know how to get back issues would be very important. Getting good secondary sourcing from these magazines may "rescue" articles about individual series. WhisperToMe ( talk) 00:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

I may need some assistance. After returning to my genre watch (a rather tedious task), an editor has started text walling me about requiring reliable sources before making any changes to the genre. The main dispute is around Unbreakable Machine-Doll when the editor, 赤羽 雷真, added a bunch of new genres to the article. ( diff) I reverted the genre change on the bases of it being original research and then found a source (an ANN article) that mentioned the genre. ( diff) Afterword, the editor started text walling my talk page with explanations as to why all sources are original research, the genres on the article are wrong/incomplete, that ANN is not a reliable source because they engage in original research and insert their views into articles, that other articles have unsourced information, and that I should not be editing articles if I don't know their subjects first hand. — Farix ( t | c) 12:22, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Be on the look out. I've noticed an IPv6 editor making massive changes to dates on some articles.

____I created a small guide book on Wikipedia that has all of the linked pages in the, book.

This is good to have this book so , if people want to read the pages on the helpful guide section they have a portable PDF that is ready made so they do not have to create it. I already have created the PDF's.

Found another phrase to avoid. It's redundant. OVA already explains that it's animation, so "anime" is not needed. It's the equivalent of saying "Animated original video animation". You can just use the full phrase "original video animation" series. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 12:01, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Well, there should be a link to the OVA article, so if anyone is confused as to the meaning, they can look it up. Direct to video anime series can also work, but be sure to include a link to the OVA article. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 14:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
"Anime" is literally just the short form of "animation", and for some people a lot of people have forgotten that. And the term OVA is only used in Japanese animation. The reason for the term is that high budget direct to video animation is a uniquely Japanese phenomenon. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 15:56, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

An anime fan is likely already knowledgeable about it. For new users, it's just one term, and it's not hard to learn.

"Original Video Animation" is not jargony, it's more an example of Engrish. What it means is "Original direct to video animated series".

Given the rather sketchy status of this being a reliable source post broadcast, should we try to replace as many references from it as possible over to the Agency for Cultural Affairs's Media Arts Database? Being published by the Japanese government, it wouldn't be difficult to establish a claim that isn't reliable. Currently, we have 52 articles using Syoboi as a references, so it isn't too big of a task. May even throw in replacing AllCinema references as well, which is also of questionable reliability. — Farix ( t | c) 00:45, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Can the episode summaries be shortened a bit? Perhaps getting them down between 250 to 300 words at least. Right now they average between 400 and 500 words per episode and for a romantic comedy anime (controversial or not) I'm not sure that they need this much detail. —Kirt Message 02:46, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
Less than 200 words is perfect. The reason why the unusual sister summaries are so long is you're not summarizing it from an outside view. It should only contain points relevant to the main plot and should be understandable to the general reader. I have to make some guesses at some points because the cause and effects were unclear to me. Here is how I would summarize it. "Mitsuki Kanzaki's mother has recently remarried and is now living with her stepfather overseas, leaving her and her stepbrother, Yūya Kanzaki, home alone. Due to the actions of a spirit named Hiyori Kotobuki, Mitsuki is strapped with a magic chastity belt. Hiyori then takes possession of Mitsuki and masturbates, causing (her/them?) to orgasm. Attempting to go to the bathroom, Mitsuki learns the belt can only be released a couple of minutes every hour". I left the hearts part out since it has no relevance until explained in the second episode. DragonZero ( Talk · Contribs) 03:38, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
I am going to prove an example of what I mean about trimming plot summaries. I have never watched Recently, My Sister is Unusual, and I am going to objectively trim the current summary of episode 1 down to a reasonable length:
See how nice and concise that is? And the best part is that the most important detail has been retained, meaning the reader can easily understand the plot without being bogged down with trivial details. Not to mention that the original summary is poorly written in places, making reading and understanding it a chore. For reference, the original summary is 308 words, and the reduced summary is 169 words. You should be aiming for less than 200 words per episode every time. If you can't do that, then you need a third party to do it for you.-- 十 八 21:44, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I would like to request some help with mediation. There is an edit-war going on with another user, who I feel is being completely irrational, unreasonable, slanted, and immune to matter of fact logic: /info/en/?search=Talk:List_of_Tenchi_Muyo!_characters /info/en/?search=User_talk:David_A#Beyonder /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/BeyonderGod
To clarify a bit, I have encountered this editor "BeyonderGod" previously in the Wikia community, where he got himself permanently globally blocked after 3 months of constant relentless completely unreasonable trolling, edit-warring, harrassment, long extremely vulgar homophobic slur insult tirades, sockpuppetry (HagoromoOtsutsuki, OfficialRikudouSennin, likely others), widespread lying plagiarism of a previously created community (the Outskirts Battle Dome), etcetera, and he has a massive fixation for both the character Beyonder and the term Omniverse, and almost consistently calls himself an almighty God who lives in heaven in his various handles. Most of his more severe stuff, including a written guide in how to successfully troll people, was deleted by Wikia staff, but here is an example of his usual fare towards my other handle name: http://definithing.com/100284/antvasima/ However, he hasn't yet performed his usual infamous behaviour here, beyond the misinformation-mongering, creating nonsense articles or writing minor threats.
He also has a major mad-on for Tenchi Muyo, strictly due to the fact that I love the franchise, and thus he has consistently attempted to hurt me by relentlessly attacking/slandering/inserting illogical and uninformed misinformation about the franchise, whether on several different Wikias, on ComicVine, on several other forum communities, or now here on Wikipedia. All of this has been done over the span of several months during thousands of different posts and extremely badly spelled article edits.
As I mentioned above, I would appreciate help with resolving this matter, as I do not wish to have to deal with his trolling, and edit-warring vandalism here for prolonged periods of time, as I had to do on Wikia. Just check up the discussion in the Talk page, and try to mediate and rationally analyse the matter, that is all that I ask. Thank you. David A ( talk) 17:09, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
In an effort to provide more elaborate information:
"BeyonderGod"/"HagoromoOtsutsuki"/"OfficialRikudouSennin"/likely otherswas first banned from several wikis that he has participated on for systematic multi-wiki trolling vandalism, harrassment, and continuously insulting unreasonability.
He was permanently globally blocked by wikia staff for several months of the above across several wikis, as well as plagiarising the original Outskirts Battle Dome wiki name and widespread systematic lying about his ownership across several communities (his wiki was deleted when the real owners complained), long disgusting homophobic slur texts inserted as insults on other people's user pages, singlehandedly edit-warring to extremes with entire wikia communities, and a written guide in how to successfully troll people, and another about the people who get emotionally hurt and/or exhausted from his absolutely relentless neverending trolling, whom he consistently call "butthurt", naming me by name.
In addition, he has already created various power listing wikis, and they continuously kept a very lacklustre quality with lots of apparently deliberate inaccurate information strictly to troll fans of different franchises.
After his global block, he has continued to spam several communities, including ComicVine, Spacebattles, Killermovies, and even Deviantart. Constantly spamming about the Beyonder and systematically slamming other franchises to cause hurt feelings for their fans over a few thousands of separate posts.
List of his trolling and harrassment on the Powerlisting wiki alone, back in mid-September, with lots more to follow in the 3 months since: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Antvasima#List_of_BeyonderGod.27s_trolling
He admits to doing lots of trolling vandalism to "get rid of competition": http://factpile.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:BeyonderGod/Admin_ship

Here he ignores the global Wikia ban with several of his school network's auto-generated ip addresses to systematically troll and harrass me again: http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.230.108 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/172.56.5.190 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.228.91 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.228.85 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/172.56.4.140 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/176.50.191.153 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.230.115 http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/152.26.230.114

Hey, the article for Doraemon (character) is up for deletion via AfD.

I suspect all or most of the plot summaries on List of Black Butler episodes have been copied from other websites. Or maybe just the "Book of Circus" section. I don't have much experience in the copyright area of Wikipedia, so can someone please tell me if this is a problem? I think the summaries are mostly from fan sites. — Msmarmalade ( talk) 10:16, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Ok, I googled text from all the Book of Circus summaries and they seem ok; they were mostly added by User:Exukvera. But they do often (not always) appear on these websites: tvmuse.com, fanpop.com. I think in this case those sites copied off Wikipedia. @ SephyTheThird: Which episode did you check and where did you find the official blurb? I'm having trouble with the summary of OVA 5 of season 2, which appears on a lot of websites.— Msmarmalade ( talk) 05:58, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
I've gotten together a good number of magazines from the early/mid 90s now. I'm still checking the issue numbers but I have most of the first 5 years of Animerica, most of the first 40 issues of Manga Mania, 20ish issues of Protoculture Addicts and the first 20 issues of Anime Uk. While I have stuff from 2000 onwards, the 90s are my current focus.
Now is a good time for me to go through them and scan articles for people who need them or find release dates etc. Chances are that if it had a NA release during the 90s, I can help or make a note for the future when I fill in the gaps. Many shows from before than are also covered. While the Xmas holiday is a good time for me to do this, I plan to keep this as an ongoing thing so I will keep an eye out for any requests. Any I can't help with, or new stuff turns up later, I can keep an eye for.
Release dates I can add to the article myself, as well as any other small pieces of info as this is quick and easy for me to do. I do have some small rules; If you want a feature to use for rewriting a page and don't have a reputation for writing good pages, then it will be helpful if you have tried to work on the page already. Any requests for scans of an entire magazine will be ignored, no exceptions.
All requests for sources should go to this page so I can keep a list. SephyTheThird ( talk) 20:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
I really need help with List of Space Battleship Yamato III episodes, List of Space Battleship Yamato II episodes and any help on any other related Yamato articles would be great. Dwanyewest ( talk) 15:21, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Personally I would think that giving the series a decent main page would be a better priority, especially considering how extremely significant the series is to Japanese animation history. I can provide sources to anyone seriously interested in working on the article, but it's not a project I can give serious time to myself (I'm tied up with Lupin). I might be able to help out a little though. Airdates are easy, and so are home release details. However this is not a small project and needs dedication, or at the very least some good experience in this type of project. I might do a quick "clean up".

Whoever made these pages was a little too into the series, and the pages are pretty fancrufty and not formatted into proper Wikipedia Encyclopedic articles. The series concists of two live action films, several comic series, and one animated film. I've cleaned up the film pages but have not done much for the others. I don't know enough about the series, I don't know if some pages should be merged into other pages or what.

Some pages will say that a manga was adapted into an "anime" with no further explanation. So does that mean animated movie, OVA, short film, etc. A lot of people in English speaking nations use the singular term "anime" to mean "anime television series". However, "Anime" is just short for animation. We should ensure that we're more clear.
Do not do the following:
<Series name> was adapted into a 1998 anime
Do the following:
<Series name> was adapted into a 26 episode anime television series
<Series name> was adapted into an 8 part OVA series
<Series name> was adapted into an anime film

I need some help with the article A-Girl, which is currently up for deletion.

009 Re:Cyborg is a 2012 Japanese anime film by Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell, Eden of the East). The film takes place in Cyborg 009's future timeline.
I've noticed on a few pages editors will add in the previous works that artists/directors have done. This is not needed. Other works should be listed only if they are relevant to the topic directly in some way. If readers wish to learn about the careers of the people involved in the production they can click on their article and read up on them. Also, if there are multiple people mentioned in the leed, and editors try to list all their past works, it can become harder to read which is not needed.

It would be really appreciated if a few of you could help watch Kantai Collection (anime) for regular insertion of fancruft and other unnecessary content.

Hello! This is my first GA review of an Anime/Manga article (and in general), and I have a question about the necessity of providing the foreign link to articles within the paragraphs. In the influences subsection of the the Development section and the Film subsection of the Media section of the article, two links for each section contain an unpublished English article with the Japanese link in parentheses (ja) next to the article. I'm not so sure if it's permissible, so I've decided to ask for assistance in this manner. Would I need to suggest that the editor place the name of the person or work in its original script (whether it's kanji, hiragana, etc.) and remove the (ja) link to the Japanese page, request the Japanese script in place of the (ja) and keep the link to the Japanese Wikipedia, or do I need to do something else? Please respond as soon as you can. I haven't place my official review yet, as I still need to check the sources and reread the article for potential errors. Thanks for reading! LeftAire ( talk) 20:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

We currently have 568 BLP articles needing additional sources articles lacking sources. To me this is not right and is something we as a project should focus on. I did a sweep here on some and found that there are many that just rely on one reference or have external links count as references. Another trend I saw was copy/pasted info from ANN's user edited encyclopedia. Does anyone know a way this can be tackled? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 03:18, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
: The problem I see with tackling these is that even if a filmography becomes sufficiently sourced to remove the tag, like what I've done with
Troy Baker, it doesn't really improve the article to a higher assessment like a decent biographical writeup would, so it becomes difficult to get motivated to do the work. We need folks who like to write biographies and describe how the person is contributing to the manga and anime industry, highlighting their significant roles. -

06:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC) Sorry this rant would require a lot more than we have people to handle, so back to the task at hand.
Any updates to this? We could try translating biographies from respective Japanese Wikipedia articles. The problem is that Japanese articles are full of trivia. At least some info has sources. Is this a good idea? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 15:06, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
Chris there are no people to fix them, they have sat as needing sources for years and it isn't just a few that have this. I understand the WP:BEFORE policy and I don't want to do it this way but unless somehow we get the work done the articles are just going to sit there. I can only do so much, if nobody is willing to help out then deletion is better than potentially wrong information in a BLP article. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 17:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
For seiyuu articles though which are mainly composed of a filmography, are BLP sources tags even necessary? I know the BLP policy and all, but the policy is basically just a stricter implementation of WP:V, which states that everything in an article should be verifiable and that any content likely to be challenged should be sourced. Given that roles can easily be verified by clicking on respective article links, do the articles even need to be tagged in the first place?
Also, in a related topic, we really need to beef up our biographies with, well, biographies. Even some of our articles on the most popular seiyuu like Ayana Taketatsu are just glorified filmographies. I translated Kana Hanazawa's biography from the Japanese Wikipedia a few months ago, but there's still more work to be done.
Finally, in order to further improve our seiyuu biographies, I think it would be a good idea to contact seiyuu agencies and ask them if they could donate free images for their seiyuu. What do you think? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 10:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
I've added the section Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Biography#Process_for_clearing_out_sourcing_tags. This should help categorize some of the work on "unsourced" bios. It also has a statement saying that the filmography section can be referenced using primaries. - AngusWOOF ( talk) 22:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
The recent prod of AnimeVillage had me looking at our coverage of Bandai Entertainment. Bandai Entertainment was at one point one of the main companies releasing anime in the US, so I'm surprised that we don't have an article on it. Currently, Bandai Entertainment is a redirect to a section of Bandai Visual, listing Bandai Entertainment as a subsidiary of Bandai Visual. I might be mistaken, but I think this information is incorrect, and that Bandai Entertainment was never a subsidiary of Bandai Visual. Instead, both were separate subsidiaries of Bandai Namco Holdings (though Bandai Visual's actual US subsidiary did get combined into Bandai Entertainment at one point). So I think even the one paragraph we currently have on Bandai Entertainment is in an article where it doesn't belong. I think the best solution to the situation is to undo the redirect of Bandai Entertainment, changing it back into an article, and to remove that paragraph from the Bandai Visual article. However, to do so would require enough sources on Bandai Entertainment to pass the notability guidelines. I've very certain that Anime News Network has lots of coverage of Bandai Entertainment. Is anyone aware of any other good sources besides ANN that could be used to support an article on Bandai Entertainment (anything sufficient to show notability)? Also, about AnimeVillage, my understanding is that it was originally both the name and website of Bandai Entertainment, and afterwards was just a website run by them (which was at one point shut down, then brought back a few years later in a different form, then shut down again). I think if we are able to make an article on Bandai Entertainment, then the AnimeVillage page should be undeleted and merged to the Bandai Entertainment page. Anyway, does anyone have any opinions on this or know of any sources that we could use? Calathan ( talk) 20:39, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello, it's me again. I've encountered a mix of reviewers that feel that the article isn't ready because of the overlapping of material of the manga and the film, and other users who are taking on the process of fixing errors I noted. There were errors that I thought of fixing, but I wonder if the prose is truly GA worthy after re-reading the article. I wanted to ask for a second opinion, and see if it is GA worthy. Please respond when you get the chance, and hopefully I'll be able to respond sometime tonight. LeftAire ( talk) 22:41, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Articles on distinct but related topics may well contain a significant amount of information in common with one another. This does not make either of the two articles a content fork. As an example, clearly Joséphine de Beauharnais will contain a significant amount of information also in Napoleon I of France; this does not make it a fork.In this case the "film" is an oddball, it is not a faithful adaptation and it is a small part of the whole work. Appropriately, these differences in themes should be given to the reader to not only understand these differences exist, but the context and differences themselves. It is comprehensive - at a Featured Article level - and to use the comparative analysis by showing the film's messiah focus with Miyazaki's animistic focus. So I believe the information depth is fine because of the necessity of giving this information to the reader. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 14:39, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

RisaPlayer88 is just the latest editor to add in English air dates to anime series that have not been picked up for any satellite, cable, or other TV network. While many of these series may be available from streaming websites, the use of "English air date"—which implies that the series was broadcasted on a satellite, cable, or other TV network—is grossly misleading. If we go with the dates the series is available via streams, then those dates should reflect the simulcast dates of the subtitled version. — Farix ( t | c) 18:58, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

I'll review your edits to LaFerrari and provide you with various advice.( [16]).
One way that editors may use to check for notability of individual manga series is by going through lists of past issues of magazines about manga (in other words they are third parties writing articles about them).
Some possibilities:
It would be important to know about the Japanese manga magazines. Having such a list and/or having contacts over at JAWiki who know how to get back issues would be very important. Getting good secondary sourcing from these magazines may "rescue" articles about individual series. WhisperToMe ( talk) 00:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

( diff) I reverted the genre change on the bases of it being original research and then found a source (an ANN article) that mentioned the genre. ( diff) Afterword, the editor started text walling my talk page with explanations as to why all sources are original research, the genres on the article are wrong/incomplete, that ANN is not a reliable source because they engage in original research and insert their views into articles, that other articles have unsourced information, and that I should not be editing articles if I don't know their subjects first hand. — Farix ( t | c) 12:22, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Be on the look out. I've noticed an IPv6 editor making massive changes to dates on some articles. One of which is Kimba the White Lion, which I've gone through and verified against the Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs' Media Database. I would recommend reverting unless the dates the IP is changing are checked against their sources. — Farix ( t | c) 21:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Would like a second opinion on the terminology section at Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?. I've attempted to remove it twice times on the bases that any terms that need an explenation should be covered in the plot summary, but it keeps getting restored.

____I created a small guide book on Wikipedia that has all of the linked pages in the, book. I think the link to the PDF ( two links I have one is for A4 sized paper layout and the other is Letter sized paper layout) the book should be placed in the helpful guide section. This is good to have this book so , if people want to read the pages on the helpful guide section they have a portable PDF that is ready made so they do not have to create it. I already have created the PDF's.
link to A4 page size layout downloadable PDF : 1 (do not use rendering fails on user domain [bug on Wikipedia some one contact wikibug]).
link to Letter size page layout downloadable PDF: 2 (do not use rendering fails!)
Now I know you guys might say I make a bad looking book so here is a link where you guys can edit the book : 3
Now do not say this is not a contribution. Also, as you can see no spelling mistakes or bad grammar this time because, I am editing from my laptop and not my cell phone, and I am a native English speaker!!!!! Thank you, From, Doorknob747 ( talk) 00:58, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Found another phrase to avoid. It's redundant. OVA already explains that it's animation, so "anime" is not needed. It's the equivalent of saying "Animated original video animation". You can just use the full phrase "original video animation" series. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 12:01, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Well, there should be a link to the OVA article, so if anyone is confused as to the meaning, they can look it up. Direct to video anime series can also work, but be sure to include a link to the OVA article. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 14:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
"Anime" is literally just the short form of "animation", and for some people a lot of people have forgotten that. And the term OVA is only used in Japanese animation. The reason for the term is that high budget direct to video animation is a uniquely Japanese phenomenon. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 15:56, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Saying "anime ova" is like saying "automated atm". -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 17:23, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
An anime fan is likely already knowledgeable about it. For new users, it's just one term, and it's not hard to learn. Though we should avoid jargon heavy pages, a single term isn't going to kill anyone. And it's a vital term that for Japanese animation of the mid 80's to 90's. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 06:33, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
"Original Video Animation" is not jargony, it's more an example of Engrish. What it means is "Original direct to video animated series". But their command of English isn't perfect, so they said "Original Video Animation". The term is a little awkward. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 01:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Given the rather sketchy status of this being a reliable source post broadcast, should we try to replace as many references from it as possible over to the Agency for Cultural Affairs's Media Arts Database? Being published by the Japanese government, it wouldn't be difficult to establish a claim that isn't reliable. Currently, we have 52 articles using Syoboi as a references, so it isn't too big of a task. May even throw in replacing AllCinema references as well, which is also of questionable reliability. — Farix ( t | c) 00:45, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

I went on to recreate the Inuyasha (character) after seeing so many reviews of the series. However, the article is still an obvious beta and it needs some rewriting to be a B class.

Editor Mestrinho420 keeps adding entries to anime that does not have a stand-alone article, despite the list's clearly stated criteria in the edit notice. Believes that simply existing is enough to justify its inclusion in the list. — Farix ( t | c) 00:27, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

NOTE:The two threads are mine on craigslists forums, but I use a totally different handle name most of the time on craigslist. I have not used it in this forum I created on craigslist forum since, I do not want you guys to follow me around with the handle I always use most of the time on Craigslist forums.

Can the episode summaries be shortened a bit? Perhaps getting them down between 250 to 300 words at least. Right now they average between 400 and 500 words per episode and for a romantic comedy anime (controversial or not) I'm not sure that they need this much detail. —Kirt Message 02:46, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
Less than 200 words is perfect. The reason why the unusual sister summaries are so long is you're not summarizing it from an outside view. It should only contain points relevant to the main plot and should be understandable to the general reader. I have to make some guesses at some points because the cause and effects were unclear to me. Here is how I would summarize it. "Mitsuki Kanzaki's mother has recently remarried and is now living with her stepfather overseas, leaving her and her stepbrother, Yūya Kanzaki, home alone. Due to the actions of a spirit named Hiyori Kotobuki, Mitsuki is strapped with a magic chastity belt. Hiyori then takes possession of Mitsuki and masturbates, causing (her/them?) to orgasm. Attempting to go to the bathroom, Mitsuki learns the belt can only be released a couple of minutes every hour". I left the hearts part out since it has no relevance until explained in the second episode. DragonZero ( Talk · Contribs) 03:38, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
I am going to prove an example of what I mean about trimming plot summaries. I have never watched Recently, My Sister is Unusual, and I am going to objectively trim the current summary of episode 1 down to a reasonable length:
See how nice and concise that is? And the best part is that the most important detail has been retained, meaning the reader can easily understand the plot without being bogged down with trivial details. Not to mention that the original summary is poorly written in places, making reading and understanding it a chore. For reference, the original summary is 308 words, and the reduced summary is 169 words. You should be aiming for less than 200 words per episode every time. If you can't do that, then you need a third party to do it for you.-- 十 八 21:44, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

With work on cleaning up these articles going smoothly, I was thinking we could also merge Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave and Eureka Seven Vol. 2: The New Vision either into one article or back to the main Eureka Seven article. I'm only proposing this since they both are so small and haven't had a decent update in years. Thoughts? —Kirt Message 19:43, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
I need a second opinion over at the Doraemon article. An IP editor keeps adding The Fairly OddParents and Kiteretsu Daihyakka to the See also section on the bases that they have "similar premise". However, my view is that the See also section should only contain links to articles directly related to the subject. — Farix ( t | c) 11:18, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
