No topic

Does anyone have any input on any of these issues? This mostly has to do with lack of alternate hiragana in the discography section of the Kagrra, official site.

Should いろはにほへと be romanized as 'irohanihoheto' or 'iro wa nioedo'? see Iroha

also, with 桜舞い散るあの丘でkaeri咲弐零零弐ver. what is the correct reading of 咲? saki? -zaki? sa? shuu?.... and should the reading of 弐零零弐 be romanized or just write it as 2002?

furthermore, 恋綴魂 ushimitsu刻 ver., ushimitsu刻=丑三つ時(ushimitsu-toki/midnight)?? Would it be ok to romanize 刻 in this context as toki even though the usual reading would be koku?

finally, is the corresponding Japanese text intrusive? Should it be repeated with reccuring titles or not? I don't really think it should be left out entirely since it is helpful.

Comma?

Um... what's up with the comma? I know many Japanese bands like to play with punctuation and capitalisation, but surely there must be some kind of explanation or justification to this. Whatever it is, it's likely interesting. "The.. uh... the comma represents the darkness in my soul. Yeah, that's it. Comma, darkness. ne?" LordAmeth 13:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is basically a trademark issue. They were "Crow" on Key Party, "Kagrra" on PS Company, and "Kagrra," on Columbia. The change also usually signifies a transition in the band's career. I should go find the interview in which Isshi explained the comma...completely forgot where I read it (could have been Shoxx or something)...--'nnic 18:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, per WP:MOS-TM the comma must not be used as the title of the article. But it may be used throughout the rest of it. -- AvatarMN (talk) 19:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The comma represents Magatama. --09:21, 2 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.80.37 (talk)

Discography

Some of the discography/videography was lost when it was migrated back to the main article, some dvd's and cd's are missing. I don't have time to re-enter them right now, but if anyone wants to copy them from the official website or even the Japanese version of this article...

also, why does X Japan or Dir en grey a get a separate disco page but not Kagrra,...seems a bit arbitrary (or a double standard) --'nnic 18:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can always re-enter those items, though more obscure/not widely available material may need citations. Separate discography pages are usually created to keep a main article from becoming too long, which at the moment is not the case with this one. - Cyrus XIII 21:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

I'm not a big fan of over linking. Are the date links in the discography neccessary.

see WP:CONTEXT

"There is consensus among editors that month and day names should not be linked unless there is a specific reason that the link will help the reader to understand the article."

and WP:LOW

"Linking years

Years should either remain unlinked (preferred), or can link to their sub-topic year page if it exists.[2] e.g. [[1989 in literature|1989]]"

also, does it bother anyone else that Wikipedia has several seemingly conflicting manuals of style (>_<)

--'nnic 23:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the guideline bits you are quoting refer to occasions when only partial dates are mentioned. On full dates, WP:CONTEXT#Dates says the following:

"Dates when they contain a day, month, and year — [[25 March]] [[2004]] — or day and month — should be linked for date preference formatting."

Hence the current formatting is guideline-compliant. - Cyrus XIII 23:46, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
