Help with interwiki links

Firstly, I'm sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong place. I am confessedly not really much of a Wikipedian-- I edit only on rare occasions and have no account. Anyway, I created an as-of-yet rather short page about this page's subject on the zh-classical Wikipedia (and probably made some grammar mistakes while I'm at it, but that's another discussion) and I can't figure out how to get it to show up in the interwiki links at the bottom right of this article and other-language versions of this article. If anyone could help that would be much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.41.53 (talk) 21:28, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Job

I heard that ZUN was laid off from Taito. Anyone able to confirm/deny? -Seventh Holy Scripture 22:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As for being rated "low" on importance: Simply not true. The Touhou series is rather popular, and as Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN is the developer, he should have an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.209.92.252 (talk) 00:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From the description of the importance scale: "A low importance article is not the same as a bad or unnecessary article." And personally, I'd find it disingenuous to argue ZUN is a "individual with a career of internationally successful or critically acclaimed works" on par with Shinji Mikami or Shigesato Itoi. -Seventh Holy Scripture (talk) 15:34, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ZUN has an article on the Touhou Wiki. Would it safe to link to that article, or not? ~ Tony64 ^(Talk) 03:21, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Circle Members

If you so insist that ZUN is not the only member, then who are the other ones? If you don't have evidence, then please stop introducing ambiguities. _dk (talk) 20:56, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

TSA is not a one man team. And this misinformation has lead to quite a lot of confusion as of recently. There are at least two members of TSA. The less obvious one being one "Fumio Oyamada" whom is the copyright managemer of TSA.

You can read about that here (ctrl F: Oyamada): https://archive.moe/jp/thread/8275363

The thread explicitly says copyright handling was moved off Team Shanghai Alice and into Korindo Ltd. We can go into that detail if we like, but the fact remains that Oyamada is not a member of TSA. _dk (talk) 03:15, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But at least since then, Oyamada has been the one who reads and selectively (as in sometimes he never responds) to emails on behave of TSA, he also has the legal authority to claim copyright infringement. I don't see how one could represent TSA to the extent that they have that much legal authority on the IP's of TSA without being a member of the team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanofgames (talk • contribs) 17:19, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He has no bearing on the activities of Team Shanghai Alice nor does he contribute to the works by the circle. Your argument is akin to saying that a band's record executive or something is a band member themselves, but even that isn't quite analogous. A representative doesn't have to be part of a company, although it seems to be unknown whether or not Oyamada-san is actually a part of Kourindou Ltd. In any case, he isn't a part of Team Shanghai Alice. Even the artists drawing the official Touhou manga aren't considered a part of Team Shanghai Alice despite being involved in official Touhou works, largely because these works are published commercially and they're basically employed, rather than being circle members. Nor are the artists occasionally contributing to his circle's releases like Fairy Wars and Seasonal Dream Vision considered part of Team Shanghai Alice, although obviously they are rightfully credited in the works themselves. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the circle itself identifies as having only one member, and that's that. If the circle says there's only one member, and nobody else even tries to claim to be another member, then there isn't possibly any room for error or misinterpretation. 50.72.111.166 (talk) 05:10, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Alice

Instead of having 'Alice' in the name expplanation lead to the page 'Fairy Tale', wouldn't it be better to take it to Alice in Wonderland?T his is, obviously, a connection I'm guessing, since Alice could come from somewhere else, but I don't see how the page Fairy Tale could help users understand the choice of 'Alice'.
