Hello, I was thinking of transforming List of Dragon Ball chapters (series) and List of Dragon Ball Z chapters into a list or lists using the individual chapter format like at List of Maison Ikkoku chapters and List of Lupin III chapters instead of the current "Graphic novel list" format. But unlike those two examples, the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Media Arts Database has an entry for every Jump issue that gives each chapter title and release date, so it would all be reliably sourced. I'd like to know that there isn't strong opposition to this before I put in all the work that it is going to take. Here's a sample in my sandbox. Xfansd ( talk) 17:48, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
My opinion is focused on keeping with the volume list. I mean, ever read some of the Arrancar chapters of Bleach? Some barely have dialogue as the author focuses more on fights, and some of these fights could last an entire volume (Ichigo vs Grimmjow or Ichigo vs Ulquiorra). There are also other manga series with this focus on fighting. Tintor2 ( talk) 14:59, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
It might be good to take advantage of the lead summary or publication history sections to specify some of that information, as with non-anime examples The Walking Dead or Superman (comic book). Editors can list when the first issue was released, and any particular magazine formats. Also, include the External link to MADB so people can look up the issue numbers. If publication is more erratic, like it's a collection of their one-shots, and does not appear regularly in a magazine, then it should be considered. Also sometimes the author has like X pages to fill but formats their work to have multiple chapters published in the same issue. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 16:01, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
I think such a chapter table you're proposing would be more useful for Neko Majin as that one consists more of short stories published over different issues. Dragon Ball is clearly being organized into compilation volumes when it goes to paperback. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:26, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Yeah. Over by Armed Girl's Machiavellism. There's a part where the date is added. But that's by 'AT-X' then followed by the rest of the sets of tv stations.

Okay, I see what he's trying to do. The AT-X air dates are starting April 5, 2017 at 23:00 (11pm) so that's the earliest date, not the Tokyo MX dates which are after midnight (April 6) . See [4]. I'll throw those in. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:26, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Myself and @ Biswarup5: have gotten into a disagreement at Aki Toyosaki over content. We've both gone back a few times, I fear we're getting into edit war territory, but the diff has been essentially the same each time every: here is the most recent as an example. Essentially, things like using plainlist aside and the notable works list (the latter of which is a separate issue, I think), I believe things such as blood type and height should be kept out of the article. Biswarup5 and I have also had some cursory discussion on my talk page: this section, this section, and this section. The third of which I'm most concerned about, as it potentially raises conflict of interest and some future major changes to multiple articles. Between both myself and Biswarup5 edit warring and the latest exchange of discussion, I'm concerned that this matter should involve third parties.
I should probably have a firmer statement of what I'm asking for. Is there any input about the content dispute? And, I'm asking Biswarup5 here to make any future plans clearer, which I'm concerned about because of the wording of the recent talk page posting. ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 06:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

As a continuation of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 69#Dragon Ball chapters from last month, I would just like to update the project on Xfansd ( talk · contribs)'s herculean effort to convert List of Dragon Ball chapters (series) and List of Dragon Ball Z chapters into what he's been working on in three of his sandboxes currently: User:Xfansd/sandbox, User:Xfansd/sandbox2 and User:Xfansd/sandbox3. From what I can tell, it is Xfansd's intention to split the 519 chapters into 5 lists of roughly equal length, all of which will contain a vast amount of plot, which I have estimated will be roughly 50,000 words in total, the length of a a short novel. This is in stark contrast to the currently existing summaries, all of which total just under 6,500 words. Just for the record, that is a proposed increase of plot by more than 7 times, despite long-standing conventions not to write intricate detail for plot summaries. I would also like to point out that Xfansd is continuing this venture despite there being at least some opposition to the idea from me and AngusWOOF ( talk · contribs) from the previous thread. So, at least as of right now, there does not seem to be a consensus for this conversion, but of course consensus can change, so it's certainly useful to bring up this discussion again periodically to see if there's any consensus for or against this conversion.
Furthermore, there were a couple points from the previous discussion I would like to summarize.
Ultimately, Xfansd's proposed conversion would create 5 separate lists of roughly 104 chapters each, each of which will contain around 10,000 words of plot summary. Also, because they're split evenly, they don't follow what chapters were in what volumes, so this would remove all information on Wikipedia pertaining to what chapters were in what volumes, which I do not really see as useful to the readers. If the conversion went through, List of Dragon Ball manga volumes would presumably survive in its current form, but as I said, that doesn't tell readers what chapters were in what volumes. What's more, as seen in User:Xfansd/sandbox2, the Dragon Ball Z chapters are not renumbered at 195 on, which although that is certainly consistent with how it was done in Japan, was not how it was done in Viz Media's release of the series which did renumber the chapters as seen on List of Dragon Ball Z chapters. So I feel that would only confuse anyone who has any of Viz's Dragon Ball Z volumes in hand, and goes against the official numbering in the English release of the manga.-- 十 八 23:08, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Over on jawiki, they have lists of manga artists in the project space for those that don't currently meet notability requirements. For example, Manga artists starting with あ. I think such lists could be very helpful here, and it might also give a way to develop individual artist entries until such a time as they are able to be moved to their own pages. Think of it as a project draft space.
To improve on the way they do it there, it might be good to create pages for each artist separately as subpages (say Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/List of manga artists/Yū Aikawa for the creator of Dark Edge, for example) and transclude them into Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/List of manga artists for convenience. Then, when an artist reaches a point of meeting notability, the article can simply be moved to the mainspace. In the meantime, we at least have information about them easily accessible where anyone can work on the article to improve it.

Now, "individual seasons are different from ongoing series like Naruto", hence they deserve their own infobox, even though they are not a real series.

I was improving Judge (manga) a little to destubify it and found out that the Japanese Wikipedia version has some sourced content (which is a rare case among manga/anime articles). I was able to figure out about the serialization dates, but could not understand properly the first paragraph of "概要". Because of its links to poetic justice and karma in Buddhism I can have a notion that is talking about the series' theme, but I would prefer if someone with better Japanese knowledge translated it if possible. Btw, it is just two lines:

There is an ongoing issue on the Naruto Shippuden episode lists about the use of DVD release dates as "air dates". Previous discussions on such usage DVD release dates as "air dates" resulted in the remove of those dates from the table and sometime adding a home video release section to include the DVD/Blu-ray releases. However, an IP 122.59.209.100 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) continues reinserts the DVD dates back onto the episode lists as air dates. This IP may be related to LordShozin, who did the exact same thing a few months earlier. ( Discussion 1, Discussion 2) at the time, LordShozin was very insistent that the DVD release dates must be on the list as they used them as their "shopping list". — Farix ( t | c) 11:59, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

AnimeDisneylover95 has complained repeatedly regarding the removal of additional voices in anime voice actor articles, and keeps reverting edits from other editors whenever they do remove them. However, it is commonly known among WP:Anime participants that additional voices are NOT to be added on VA pages. To settle the dispute once and for all, I'm starting a discussion as to whether or not additional voices should be added in VA pages. Sk8erPrince ( talk) 00:06, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I don't think this is needed as each case is unique. What are "additional voices" anyways, and what would fall under the scope? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 01:57, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I'd suggest asking the other Wikiprojects such as the WP:FILMOGRAPHY, WP:TELEVISION, and WP:VG, the last one is important as some video games such as the Skylanders series and Lightning Returns have hundreds of Additional Voices. As for my stance, I recommend looking at Talk:Yuri Lowenthal#Far_too_many_non-noteworthy_examples_and_excessive_detail and Talk:Ryōtarō Okiayu#Filmography is excessive for some earlier debates on this. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 02:16, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I would go with the notability criteria here. This can be determined by if x role is notable, or if x role had an impact on the person's life (this would add biography info). I agree with Angus though that more input is needed before this can be made as a general thing. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 02:19, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Look, yes the Additional voices from the vast majority of you is considered to be redundant, but let's be real most animated shows, movies, video games, will contain an portion dedicated to additional voices, and does it feel it is the right thing to do by removing every role that is considered an additional voice? On top of that it would feel odd just removing additional voices on every voice actor page because usually some voice actor's websites, resumes and convention bios will more often will feature "this actor has provided background voices in this film, show, game etc....", lastly we do not have to mention it as additional voices it could be various or others so that it will only list the major roles the character is associated with, honestly I feel that removing additional voices on every voice actor page will not only make the page feel "plain" but it just seems unusual to just leave in ONLY the notable roles and nothing else.-- AnimeDisneylover95 ( talk) 02:30, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
For the purposes of this discussion topic, we need to assume the filmography roles in question are already reliably sourced, as it's harder to argue whether a role should be listed if it's uncredited or only supported by the actor's self-published tweet/blog/resume like "check it out, I voice Girl #2". AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 20:47, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
@ Sk8erPrince and AnimeDisneylover95: regarding both of your edits at Christine Marie Cabanos, I advise BOTH of you to stop editing voice actor articles with regard to additional voices roles. Leave articles as they are right now. Do not add or restore additional voices. Do not remove them. Leave it. ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 00:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
@ Norozco1: I'm going to assume good faith here, but can you explain this edit? Why did you replace the signature of a comment left by @ AnimeDisneylover95: ( diff) with your own? ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 01:52, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
From my understanding of WP:LSC and WP:CSC, the filmography does not need to include everything the person has done, and can be filtered to linked notable material at the list maker's discretion. I think the line can be drawn in that if the person appears in closing credits that have titled minor/guest role as Girl A then those are okay to list, and as per my stance above, can either be specified or generalized depending on the media. Someone who clearly has a utility player role with tens of minor characters over multiple episodes doesn't need a listing of every last character.
I'd be cautious about roles that aren't credited properly and when the actor might have self-published a more specific role than what is credited. For example, I've seen multiple editors try to put in that Tara Strong voiced Mike's girlfriend in Sing, but she is officially credited in the closing credits as "Additional voices", so the filmography should say Additional voices. Starring voices can be handled differently as some shows list credits without roles such as "Featuring the voices of" or those piles of video games that list no voice actors or no English voice actors, and it is left to other secondary sources to dig up and match role to voice actor.
Stuff that definitely falls below the line would be stuff like ADR loop groups, uncredited background extras, cameos, uncredited voice matching work, the last of which can be likened to being a stunt double. They kind of fit among Stunts. Those are fine to describe in the biography for those who've done a lot for the big films and it's notable to their career, but it doesn't need to be listed in the filmography.
That leaves the credited "Additional Voices" grouping itself. Are they notable enough to stay? Or they as important as a loop group in providing background characters? Does it get burdensome like the hundreds of additional voices in Lightning Returns? Or not really because credits are credits, and if they weren't important they wouldn't be listed? I think if the film is specifying minor roles down to Girl A and then adding a Additional Voices section then they're really minor roles and should not be included. But if it's a short cast list like The Simpsons and their "Also Starring" for their regular supporting voices then yes it could be included.
Also per recent actions from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Korea/Popular_culture#Eradication_of_variety_show_sections had recently decided to exclude guest and promotional appearances in talk show and variety shows from filmographies. The promotional stuff goes with the territory for the show. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 18:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Hey guys, I'd like to point out an issue with the episode list for DBZ Kai, specifically, The Final Chapters. As I understand it, there are two different versions: the Japanese and International. Now, Funimations dub is using the International version, so the problem here lies with the American airdates as well as Episode numbering. For example, I have all three Blu-Ray sets Funimation has released. The description for the penultimate episode of The Final Chapters lists that episode as ending in the middle of Goku's fight with Uub, with Goku taunting Uub. However, that does not take place in the penultimate episode in the International version Funimation is using. That entire fight, as well as Pan's fight, is in the last episode of The Final Chapters. This is going to confuse a lot of people, especially dub watchers like myself. Just wanted to point this out in case we need a solution for it. 24.47.204.97 ( talk) 07:43, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I was recently asked by Phoenix God to help him clean up the huge character list on Until Death Do Us Part (manga), which seemingly listed every single character who appears in the series. I started trimming down the individual character entries and removing entries that were just a name with no information on them whatsoever, but stopped after going through the "protagonists" section because I don't know who's important and who isn't.

Just a thought came to me recently: maybe normal sourcing requirements are being applied too highly for anime voice actors? Anime voice actors, particularly US dub actors, don't really get much coverage in media in the first place, as the industry is rather niche in the United States. Even voice actors and actresses with several main roles may be deemed to be not notable due to a lack of coverage in sources, which is hard to begin with when the media at large doesn't really give much attention to such actors. Given how coverage for the American dubbing industry is hard to come by in the first place, perhaps we may have to lower the bar when it comes to establishing notability? Perhaps focusing on WP:ENT, regardless of how much coverage is out there? What do the others here think? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 13:57, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
So Anime News Network's dot com domain seems to have returned: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/.

I know I could just discuss this on the article's talk page, but I'm raising it here so that the matter could get some attention. Anyway, shouldn't the article be at Rei Yasuda? Both Japanese and English sources almost always call her by her stage name, and her Japanese Wikipedia article uses her stage name rather than her real name as the title.

Hi all,
It's been a while, but hope you still remember the study about recommending new editors to WikiProjects I proposed :) Please see the previous discussion here. So now, we have our system ready, and we can start recommending editors to your project now. We have started our study in a couple of WikiProjects, and received good feedback. We'd like to engage more WikiProjects, and invite some of the project organizers in WPAM to our study. Participants will receive two batches of recommendations. If you think the recommended editors are good candidates for your project, we'd like you to invite them to the project.
Please let me know if you'd be interested in participating, add your WikiProject and username to the table on my user talk page. Thanks! Bobo.03 ( talk) 04:13, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
I need someone to do a verification check of STAR jewel. Unfortunately, I think this is a case of "anything as a source" and nothing on that article is verifiable except for the most basic of facts (that it exists). To put it shortly, I believe that SBarT is falsely claiming sources backs up the genre and the voice actors—because sample entries of The Anime Encyclopedia does not list the voice actors or the genres. The fact that SBarT claims that the entry for an almost unknown minor OVA stretches over 4 pages (while more well known anime barely has a page) and the page numbers don't match those on the Title Index leads me to believe that this citation was either made-up or copied and pasted from another article. Can someone with a hard copy verify? — Farix ( t | c) 10:24, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

List of Tokyo Ghoul episodes has often been targeted for months by an editor from the 47.136.x.x IP range who repeatedly changes the air dates from those given by Adult Swim's website to those that are entirely fake. For example, Adult Swim's website states that the next episode, "Deluge of Flowers", will air Sunday, September 24 at 12:30am, however, the IP's edits makes "Ken" the next episode. The IP also changes the dates to make it appear that the series is aired on Saturday instead of Sunday. Unfortunately, Adult Swim doesn't keep a good archive of their previous broadcast history, so it is hard to confirm dates when a week is skipped or there was a double episode. And given how Adult Swim structures their website, is next to impossible to archive. This does create a verifiability problem for past episodes. — Farix ( t | c) 00:26, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
So apparently when listing Japanese networks in the infobox we only list the original network that the anime premiered on. We don't list the Japanese networks that aired the anime sometime after the premiere. For example, in Dragon Ball Z's infobox we only list Fuji TV where the series premiered. We don't list other Japanese networks that aired the series after the premiere like NTV, TV Asahi, TBS and Animax. However when listing English networks we seem to list any/all English network that aired the series. In Dragon Ball Z's infobox all the English networks that aired the series are listed, from the English premiere in 1996 until the present. An even more ridiculous example is Pokémon's infobox: only TV Tokyo is listed as the Japanese network while there is a huge list of English networks. How is it that for a Japanese animated series we only list the premiere Japanese network while we can list an unlimited number of English networks? -- Wrath X ( talk) 11:16, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm looking at the Dragon Ball Z one, and ugh, that's a mess. I'd strike all of that out and replace it with "See English broadcasting" If you have to list something I would suggest
That's it. Throw the rest out as they are reruns or second runs of the dubbed material. International Channel had broadcast the Japanese version so they shouldn't be listed in the infobox although they should be mentioned in the broadcast section as being one of the first in North America to bring in the newest episodes (Tournament/Buu, and Kid Buu saga, ahead of the Funimation dub). If you look at the individual seasons for Dragon Ball Z, you'll see Syndication and then Cartoon Network, and that's it. Similarly Nicktoons was first-run, followed by Adult Swim. The uncut versions are covered on Adult Swim later anyway. I've edited in that for the infobox, so now it's compact and should not cause problems.

@ AngusWOOF:What about English publishers/magazines/licensees? These are also listed in the infobox without limits. Should we only list the first-run English publishers/magazines/licensees (similar to how you said to only list the first-run English networks)? Seriously, listing Japanese information in the infobox is simple and easy since we only have to list the first-run information. It's listing the English information that bothers me. -- Wrath X ( talk) 09:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
List of Maoyu episodes is the last article where the Syoboi reference has not been replaced by the Media Arts Database. That is because the MADb lists a much later broadcast date as the original air date, and the anime's official website only lists the initial start date of the series. [20] The individual pages for the episode do not list the episode's air date. [21] While I can site the air date for the first episode, I cannot find a suitable alternative to the Syoboi reference to site the air dates for the remaining 12 episodes. — Farix ( t | c) 11:54, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Before I or anyone do other useless edits about this, do we really need to put a bunch of notable roles into the infobox? Many VAs like
Tomokazu Sugita,
Miyuki Sawashiro,
Yūki Kaji, etc., have a lot of notable roles. Also many of these roles already mentioned in the lead or the body of the article. Many fans just put the roles they think are notable, without tell anything or give any source about why these roles are notable. They not even include the award-winning roles in the infobox (e.g.
Inori Minase's Jun Naruse role, the actress who got the award though).

Can an "Original work by" field be added in the infobox? This is probably one of the most, if not the most, important credits in anime since it's basically the creator. "Original work" in Japanese is 原作. I've had a look at the Japanese Wikipedia and the infobox has 原作 (original work) at the very top meaning it's an important credit. Also it's generally one of the first credits to appear in an anime opening.
The "original work" of a manga-based franchise is obviously credited to the writer, but it's less obvious for an anime-based franchise. For anime, "original work" is can be credited to studios (Gainax for Evangelion) or pseudonyms (Hajime Yatate for Cowboy Bebop) or directors (Satoshi Kon for Paranoia Agent) or writers (Jun Maeda for Angel Beats!) or collaborations between studio and director (Bones/Tensai Okamura for Darker than Black) or collaborations between studio and writer (Bones/Keiko Nobumoto for Wolf's Rain) or collaborations between director and writer (Gorō Taniguchi/Ichirō Ōkouchi for Code Geass), etc. -- Wrath X ( talk) 13:05, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I was thinking of transforming List of Dragon Ball chapters (series) and List of Dragon Ball Z chapters into a list or lists using the individual chapter format like at List of Maison Ikkoku chapters and List of Lupin III chapters instead of the current "Graphic novel list" format. But unlike those two examples, the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Media Arts Database has an entry for every Jump issue that gives each chapter title and release date, so it would all be reliably sourced. I'd like to know that there isn't strong opposition to this before I put in all the work that it is going to take. Here's a sample in my sandbox. Xfansd ( talk) 17:48, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
My opinion is focused on keeping with the volume list. I mean, ever read some of the Arrancar chapters of Bleach? Some barely have dialogue as the author focuses more on fights, and some of these fights could last an entire volume (Ichigo vs Grimmjow or Ichigo vs Ulquiorra). There are also other manga series with this focus on fighting. Tintor2 ( talk) 14:59, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
It might be good to take advantage of the lead summary or publication history sections to specify some of that information, as with non-anime examples The Walking Dead or Superman (comic book). Editors can list when the first issue was released, and any particular magazine formats. Also, include the External link to MADB so people can look up the issue numbers. If publication is more erratic, like it's a collection of their one-shots, and does not appear regularly in a magazine, then it should be considered. Also sometimes the author has like X pages to fill but formats their work to have multiple chapters published in the same issue. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 16:01, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
I think such a chapter table you're proposing would be more useful for Neko Majin as that one consists more of short stories published over different issues. Dragon Ball is clearly being organized into compilation volumes when it goes to paperback. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:26, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Myself and @ Biswarup5: have gotten into a disagreement at Aki Toyosaki over content. We've both gone back a few times, I fear we're getting into edit war territory, but the diff has been essentially the same each time every: here is the most recent as an example. Essentially, things like using plainlist aside and the notable works list (the latter of which is a separate issue, I think), I believe things such as blood type and height should be kept out of the article. Biswarup5 and I have also had some cursory discussion on my talk page: this section, this section, and this section. The third of which I'm most concerned about, as it potentially raises conflict of interest and some future major changes to multiple articles. Between both myself and Biswarup5 edit warring and the latest exchange of discussion, I'm concerned that this matter should involve third parties.
I should probably have a firmer statement of what I'm asking for. Is there any input about the content dispute? And, I'm asking Biswarup5 here to make any future plans clearer, which I'm concerned about because of the wording of the recent talk page posting. ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 06:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

As a continuation of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 69#Dragon Ball chapters from last month, I would just like to update the project on Xfansd ( talk · contribs)'s herculean effort to convert List of Dragon Ball chapters (series) and List of Dragon Ball Z chapters into what he's been working on in three of his sandboxes currently: User:Xfansd/sandbox, User:Xfansd/sandbox2 and User:Xfansd/sandbox3. From what I can tell, it is Xfansd's intention to split the 519 chapters into 5 lists of roughly equal length, all of which will contain a vast amount of plot, which I have estimated will be roughly 50,000 words in total, the length of a a short novel. This is in stark contrast to the currently existing summaries, all of which total just under 6,500 words. Just for the record, that is a proposed increase of plot by more than 7 times, despite long-standing conventions not to write intricate detail for plot summaries. I would also like to point out that Xfansd is continuing this venture despite there being at least some opposition to the idea from me and AngusWOOF ( talk · contribs) from the previous thread. So, at least as of right now, there does not seem to be a consensus for this conversion, but of course consensus can change, so it's certainly useful to bring up this discussion again periodically to see if there's any consensus for or against this conversion.
Furthermore, there were a couple points from the previous discussion I would like to summarize.
Ultimately, Xfansd's proposed conversion would create 5 separate lists of roughly 104 chapters each, each of which will contain around 10,000 words of plot summary. Also, because they're split evenly, they don't follow what chapters were in what volumes, so this would remove all information on Wikipedia pertaining to what chapters were in what volumes, which I do not really see as useful to the readers. If the conversion went through, List of Dragon Ball manga volumes would presumably survive in its current form, but as I said, that doesn't tell readers what chapters were in what volumes. What's more, as seen in User:Xfansd/sandbox2, the Dragon Ball Z chapters are not renumbered at 195 on, which although that is certainly consistent with how it was done in Japan, was not how it was done in Viz Media's release of the series which did renumber the chapters as seen on List of Dragon Ball Z chapters. So I feel that would only confuse anyone who has any of Viz's Dragon Ball Z volumes in hand, and goes against the official numbering in the English release of the manga.-- 十 八 23:08, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Over on jawiki, they have lists of manga artists in the project space for those that don't currently meet notability requirements. For example, Manga artists starting with あ. I think such lists could be very helpful here, and it might also give a way to develop individual artist entries until such a time as they are able to be moved to their own pages. Think of it as a project draft space.
To improve on the way they do it there, it might be good to create pages for each artist separately as subpages (say Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/List of manga artists/Yū Aikawa for the creator of Dark Edge, for example) and transclude them into Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/List of manga artists for convenience. Then, when an artist reaches a point of meeting notability, the article can simply be moved to the mainspace. In the meantime, we at least have information about them easily accessible where anyone can work on the article to improve it.

There is an ongoing issue on the Naruto Shippuden episode lists about the use of DVD release dates as "air dates".

However, an IP 122.59.209.100 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) continues reinserts the DVD dates back onto the episode lists as air dates.

AnimeDisneylover95 has complained repeatedly regarding the removal of additional voices in anime voice actor articles, and keeps reverting edits from other editors whenever they do remove them. However, it is commonly known among WP:Anime participants that additional voices are NOT to be added on VA pages. To settle the dispute once and for all, I'm starting a discussion as to whether or not additional voices should be added in VA pages. Sk8erPrince ( talk) 00:06, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I don't think this is needed as each case is unique. What are "additional voices" anyways, and what would fall under the scope? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 01:57, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I'd suggest asking the other Wikiprojects such as the WP:FILMOGRAPHY, WP:TELEVISION, and WP:VG, the last one is important as some video games such as the Skylanders series and Lightning Returns have hundreds of Additional Voices. As for my stance, I recommend looking at Talk:Yuri Lowenthal#Far_too_many_non-noteworthy_examples_and_excessive_detail and Talk:Ryōtarō Okiayu#Filmography is excessive for some earlier debates on this. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 02:16, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I would go with the notability criteria here. This can be determined by if x role is notable, or if x role had an impact on the person's life (this would add biography info). I agree with Angus though that more input is needed before this can be made as a general thing. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 02:19, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Look, yes the Additional voices from the vast majority of you is considered to be redundant, but let's be real most animated shows, movies, video games, will contain an portion dedicated to additional voices, and does it feel it is the right thing to do by removing every role that is considered an additional voice? On top of that it would feel odd just removing additional voices on every voice actor page because usually some voice actor's websites, resumes and convention bios will more often will feature "this actor has provided background voices in this film, show, game etc....", lastly we do not have to mention it as additional voices it could be various or others so that it will only list the major roles the character is associated with, honestly I feel that removing additional voices on every voice actor page will not only make the page feel "plain" but it just seems unusual to just leave in ONLY the notable roles and nothing else.-- AnimeDisneylover95 ( talk) 02:30, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
For the purposes of this discussion topic, we need to assume the filmography roles in question are already reliably sourced, as it's harder to argue whether a role should be listed if it's uncredited or only supported by the actor's self-published tweet/blog/resume like "check it out, I voice Girl #2". AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 20:47, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
@ Sk8erPrince and AnimeDisneylover95: regarding both of your edits at Christine Marie Cabanos, I advise BOTH of you to stop editing voice actor articles with regard to additional voices roles. Leave articles as they are right now. Do not add or restore additional voices. Do not remove them. Leave it. ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 00:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

From my understanding of WP:LSC and WP:CSC, the filmography does not need to include everything the person has done, and can be filtered to linked notable material at the list maker's discretion. I think the line can be drawn in that if the person appears in closing credits that have titled minor/guest role as Girl A then those are okay to list, and as per my stance above, can either be specified or generalized depending on the media. Someone who clearly has a utility player role with tens of minor characters over multiple episodes doesn't need a listing of every last character.
I'd be cautious about roles that aren't credited properly and when the actor might have self-published a more specific role than what is credited. For example, I've seen multiple editors try to put in that Tara Strong voiced Mike's girlfriend in Sing, but she is officially credited in the closing credits as "Additional voices", so the filmography should say Additional voices. Starring voices can be handled differently as some shows list credits without roles such as "Featuring the voices of" or those piles of video games that list no voice actors or no English voice actors, and it is left to other secondary sources to dig up and match role to voice actor.
Stuff that definitely falls below the line would be stuff like ADR loop groups, uncredited background extras, cameos, uncredited voice matching work, the last of which can be likened to being a stunt double. They kind of fit among Stunts. Those are fine to describe in the biography for those who've done a lot for the big films and it's notable to their career, but it doesn't need to be listed in the filmography.
That leaves the credited "Additional Voices" grouping itself. Are they notable enough to stay? Or they as important as a loop group in providing background characters? Does it get burdensome like the hundreds of additional voices in Lightning Returns? Or not really because credits are credits, and if they weren't important they wouldn't be listed? I think if the film is specifying minor roles down to Girl A and then adding a Additional Voices section then they're really minor roles and should not be included. But if it's a short cast list like The Simpsons and their "Also Starring" for their regular supporting voices then yes it could be included.
Also per recent actions from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Korea/Popular_culture#Eradication_of_variety_show_sections had recently decided to exclude guest and promotional appearances in talk show and variety shows from filmographies. The promotional stuff goes with the territory for the show. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 18:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Hey guys, I'd like to point out an issue with the episode list for DBZ Kai, specifically, The Final Chapters. As I understand it, there are two different versions: the Japanese and International. Now, Funimations dub is using the International version, so the problem here lies with the American airdates as well as Episode numbering. For example, I have all three Blu-Ray sets Funimation has released. The description for the penultimate episode of The Final Chapters lists that episode as ending in the middle of Goku's fight with Uub, with Goku taunting Uub. However, that does not take place in the penultimate episode in the International version Funimation is using. That entire fight, as well as Pan's fight, is in the last episode of The Final Chapters. This is going to confuse a lot of people, especially dub watchers like myself. Just wanted to point this out in case we need a solution for it. 24.47.204.97 ( talk) 07:43, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I was recently asked by Phoenix God to help him clean up the huge character list on Until Death Do Us Part (manga), which seemingly listed every single character who appears in the series. I started trimming down the individual character entries and removing entries that were just a name with no information on them whatsoever, but stopped after going through the "protagonists" section because I don't know who's important and who isn't.

Just a thought came to me recently: maybe normal sourcing requirements are being applied too highly for anime voice actors? Anime voice actors, particularly US dub actors, don't really get much coverage in media in the first place, as the industry is rather niche in the United States. Even voice actors and actresses with several main roles may be deemed to be not notable due to a lack of coverage in sources, which is hard to begin with when the media at large doesn't really give much attention to such actors. Given how coverage for the American dubbing industry is hard to come by in the first place, perhaps we may have to lower the bar when it comes to establishing notability? Perhaps focusing on WP:ENT, regardless of how much coverage is out there? What do the others here think? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 13:57, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

I know I could just discuss this on the article's talk page, but I'm raising it here so that the matter could get some attention. Anyway, shouldn't the article be at Rei Yasuda? Both Japanese and English sources almost always call her by her stage name, and her Japanese Wikipedia article uses her stage name rather than her real name as the title. Contrast with Miho Karasawa (aka TRUE), who is still frequently referred to by her real name, and continues to use her real name (as opposed to her alias) when writing lyrics and on social media; in addition, her Japanese Wikipedia article uses her real name as the title.

We'd like to engage more WikiProjects, and invite some of the project organizers in WPAM to our study. Participants will receive two batches of recommendations. If you think the recommended editors are good candidates for your project, we'd like you to invite them to the project.

I need someone to do a verification check of STAR jewel. Unfortunately, I think this is a case of "anything as a source" and nothing on that article is verifiable except for the most basic of facts (that it exists). To put it shortly, I believe that SBarT is falsely claiming sources backs up the genre and the voice actors—because sample entries of The Anime Encyclopedia does not list the voice actors or the genres. The fact that SBarT claims that the entry for an almost unknown minor OVA stretches over 4 pages (while more well known anime barely has a page) and the page numbers don't match those on the Title Index leads me to believe that this citation was either made-up or copied and pasted from another article.

List of Tokyo Ghoul episodes has often been targeted for months by an editor from the 47.136.x.x IP range who repeatedly changes the air dates from those given by Adult Swim's website to those that are entirely fake. For example, Adult Swim's website states that the next episode, "Deluge of Flowers", will air Sunday, September 24 at 12:30am, however, the IP's edits makes "Ken" the next episode. The IP also changes the dates to make it appear that the series is aired on Saturday instead of Sunday. Unfortunately, Adult Swim doesn't keep a good archive of their previous broadcast history, so it is hard to confirm dates when a week is skipped or there was a double episode. And given how Adult Swim structures their website, is next to impossible to archive. This does create a verifiability problem for past episodes. — Farix ( t | c) 00:26, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
So apparently when listing Japanese networks in the infobox we only list the original network that the anime premiered on. We don't list the Japanese networks that aired the anime sometime after the premiere. For example, in Dragon Ball Z's infobox we only list Fuji TV where the series premiered. We don't list other Japanese networks that aired the series after the premiere like NTV, TV Asahi, TBS and Animax. However when listing English networks we seem to list any/all English network that aired the series. In Dragon Ball Z's infobox all the English networks that aired the series are listed, from the English premiere in 1996 until the present. An even more ridiculous example is Pokémon's infobox: only TV Tokyo is listed as the Japanese network while there is a huge list of English networks. How is it that for a Japanese animated series we only list the premiere Japanese network while we can list an unlimited number of English networks? -- Wrath X ( talk) 11:16, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm looking at the Dragon Ball Z one, and ugh, that's a mess. I'd strike all of that out and replace it with "See English broadcasting" If you have to list something I would suggest
That's it. Throw the rest out as they are reruns or second runs of the dubbed material. International Channel had broadcast the Japanese version so they shouldn't be listed in the infobox although they should be mentioned in the broadcast section as being one of the first in North America to bring in the newest episodes (Tournament/Buu, and Kid Buu saga, ahead of the Funimation dub). If you look at the individual seasons for Dragon Ball Z, you'll see Syndication and then Cartoon Network, and that's it. Similarly Nicktoons was first-run, followed by Adult Swim. The uncut versions are covered on Adult Swim later anyway. I've edited in that for the infobox, so now it's compact and should not cause problems.

@ AngusWOOF:What about English publishers/magazines/licensees? These are also listed in the infobox without limits. Should we only list the first-run English publishers/magazines/licensees (similar to how you said to only list the first-run English networks)?

List of Maoyu episodes is the last article where the Syoboi reference has not been replaced by the Media Arts Database.

Can an "Original work by" field be added in the infobox? This is probably one of the most, if not the most, important credits in anime since it's basically the creator. "Original work" in Japanese is 原作. I've had a look at the Japanese Wikipedia and the infobox has 原作 (original work) at the very top meaning it's an important credit. Also it's generally one of the first credits to appear in an anime opening.
The "original work" of a manga-based franchise is obviously credited to the writer, but it's less obvious for an anime-based franchise. For anime, "original work" is can be credited to studios (Gainax for Evangelion) or pseudonyms (Hajime Yatate for Cowboy Bebop) or directors (Satoshi Kon for Paranoia Agent) or writers (Jun Maeda for Angel Beats!) or collaborations between studio and director (Bones/Tensai Okamura for Darker than Black) or collaborations between studio and writer (Bones/Keiko Nobumoto for Wolf's Rain) or collaborations between director and writer (Gorō Taniguchi/Ichirō Ōkouchi for Code Geass), etc. -- Wrath X ( talk) 13:05, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
