I looked through their members, but there's just too many of them, so it's hard to keep track of who's active and who's not (and I've enabled pop-ups).

Two new articlesWell I just wrote two new articles: Yuka Ōtsubo and Sachika Misawa. They're still under construction, and at the moment, I've included only their anime roles. Could you help out with including these roles? Also, I couldn't translate their Biography sections on their Japanese Wikipedia entries because Google Translate's inaccurate as always. Can you help out? Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:05, 16 January 2013 (UTC) The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006 film)Hi. You removed the Category:Japanese films from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006 film) saying it was overcatting. I actually agree, but it says right on top of the category "For convenience, all Japanese films are included in this category. This includes all Japanese films that can also be found in the subcategories.". As far as I know it's the same for all other categories of films by country. Assuming this was decided by the Film project, any change should be discussed there.--Cattus talk 23:32, 24 January 2013 (UTC) FebruaryTalkbackMessage added 12:42, 1 February 2013 (UTC).

I will leave the maintenance of it up to you guys, while I keep up my own (somewhat) parallel information over at Baka-Tsuki. I notice you guys kept most of my translations for the volume names; I will hold off judgement on the differing ones (particularly v4) until I get to that point in translating the series . . . if I do: with increasing interest in the series there may be other, more qualified translators interested in working on the books too. So far, I believe the only reason I've been left alone to work on the series has been because there is far too much work for B-T to do, and far too few translators available to do it. For me, it has been far more an exercise in learning Japanese than one of trying to provide a translation of this particular story, or providing one quickly. --Rpapo (talk) 11:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC) AprilSprite websiteHi Juhachi.

About what Vocaloids areHi there. I'm here to talk about Vocaloids (more Wikiformally Vocaloid products). I'v seen that in all these years Wikipedia almost universally treated all Vocaloids as products/singing software/pieces of technology - an exception being addressing Miku as "she" and "her" in "it's" article. I know all about the Wikipedia NPOV/verifiability/etc blahblah, but I do think that individual Vocaloid products - especially since Yamaha developed the V3 engine - are getting more and more defined by a persona. Most of them are named, designed, and marketed as if they were some kind of imaginary, virtual singers. Even if that isn't the intention of the studio (despite human-like "product names" and anime character boxarts), the strong prosumer and fandom aspect of Vocaloid makes them to be known as virtual singers. We can/should call them (individual Vocaloids or groups of them, not the Vocaloid(tm) technology itself) not only products in a business sense, but virtual singers/idols, personas, soundbanks or voice banks. Practically everyone, fans, critics, media, sources, the world at large usually refers to them not as "products", neither individually nor in general. I feel that this whole persona aspect is somewhat ignored in the style WP treats Vocaloid "products". That's why I made that move. By the way, I don't know why soundbank isn't a word. It's a fairly common word used in the IT/gaming industry, Worms Armageddon's worm speech sounds were in so-called "soundbanks" back in 1999 (there was even a "soundbank editor" bundled). "Hyngulyngus" isn't a word, "soundbank" is one, combining the meaning of sound and bank; a cache/pack/collection of sounds, which on a technical level, Vocaloids are. Plus the bundled engine + editor interface + "packaged" persona (at least suggested by the boxart depiction). IMHO calling them simply products is rather bland, and misses something about the Vocaloid phenomenon which became more than tools for producing artificial singing for profit. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think we should just treat the personas as products even if practically everyone (even reliable sources like Vocaloidism) call them soundbanks, voice banks or virtual singers/idols/whatever? Official Crypton Twitter - As far as I can tell with Google Translate, the guys at Crypton referred to "DBs" which might stand for "databases" in their terminology. But they certainly didn't used "products", at least not here. And it might be just Crypton, but still. Cheers. --Rev L. Snowfox (talk) 18:31, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
KarutaSince you're pretty much the Key expert on Wikipedia, and because I've run out of other leads (such as ANN, Japanese Wikipedia, Twitter, last.fm etc.), I have to ask you this. Basically, what ever happened to Karuta? The singer of Ichiban no Takaramono? Obviously LiSA is doing quite well with her solo career, and even Marina's still active (although not as famous as LiSA), but I can't seem to find more information about her. Even Japanese Wikipedia doesn't seem to have an article about her, while the only song of hers that I could find is Ichiban no Takaramono. So what happened to her? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
MarinaThanks for writing the article for Marina. It's surprising that someone whose single went gold in Japan didn't have an English Wikipedia article until now. It's probably DYK-quality, although since LiSA was a DYK already, the blurb would probably be the same, and thus not as interesting. Any thoughts? Thanks.

That doesn't make much sense to me. Note that I don't have anything against specifying the issue numbers, far from it, but that doesn't seem to be the right place for it (whereas it sounds fine to me in a sentence like "It began serialization in the December 2002 issue of the monthly seinen manga magazine Comic Beam, and will conclude in the August 2013 issue."... at the very least, it doesn't say the serialization began in December, but rather in the December issue). Besides, for monthly magazines, you'd generally get "almost-accurate-but-not-quite" months, and for weekly magazines, bimonthly magazines and so on, it would be even worse. I think readers would simply expect dates, there, and "real" ones... Erigu (talk) 06:59, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
The year articlesThanks for helping clean them up a bit, I've been trying to add content to them and fill them out, but a couple of my methods backfired on me. One was going to cover the releases, but I want to list only 25-50 works or so max and not every single one. If every work was listed the page would balloon to the 100s of entries for recent times. I also disagree with the "1950s" in anime, while probably a better starting point, in hindsight of course, plenty of events occur from the 1950s on. Even individual years can be very notable. At least 18 relevant films (widely known) debuted in this era, namely the first televised anime "もぐらのアバンチュール" / Mole's Adventure. This and other reasons are why I am particularly annoyed about our coverage of anime. The actual claim for this has existed since 1977 as well, while originally unconfirmed, the re-broadcast is in three days on Animax! I'm not sure why we are late to fixing this either... Shall I do the honors or you want me to bring this up at the project page? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:23, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

This isn't a debate, I just wanted to point something out, I completely respect the edits you made to the last 3 ONAs but somehow I feel insulted that you attributed my writing to a "a fan is gushing over it" when I base all of my summaries on a highly accurate neutral perspective, and compensate when there are obvious difference in interpretations of events. (Such as my last edit following yours whence I only added a mere 200+ characters of text) I feel as if the reading aesthetic had somehow been downgraded during the recent spontaneous edits but I'll rewrite them to improve this.

About a year ago, I posted over at WT:ANIME that the Key-related articles—particularly those for Clannad, Angel Beats! and Little Busters!—were probably of a good enough quality for FA. Taking a second look at the articles, I feel that they are pretty good; in fact, they are some of the best written articles I've seen for an anime-related article.

I believe that the annotation was "clumsy? these summaries are now unreadable" ... that is the exact reason I revised those episode synopses. My main emphasis was upon Refrain #1 along with Refrain #5 and Refrain #6.
The portions of the synopsis in italics are what I am objecting most fiercely. In contrast, this is what I added:
See how concise it is? Ignoring the bit about Rin's wordless departure, the old text uses 23 words to describe what Riki thinks are Kyousuke's intentions; in contrast, my synopsis only uses 14 words for the same purpose. Riki rushing off to Rin's rescue -- 23 words in the old text versus only 15 in my version. Riki importing Kengo's counsel about how to stop Kyousuke -- 23 words in the old text are used to describe Kengo's counsel and why Riki is importing it; in contrast, my synopsis uses 21 words to cut right to the chase.
My text:
Note how concise it is -- particularly with the part about Riki's ambivalence as to whether Rin should accept the invitation. 27 words in the old version versus only NINE in my version. Juhachi ... I could sit here all day pointing out the flaws in your reversion after adding in the synopsis for Refrain #1; still, since it is a beautiful day outside, I will cut right to the chase by reminding you that Wikipedia enjoins that its editors not behave toward episode synopsis pages as a plot summary and to not bite or assume bad faith of the newcomers. Granted, I am not exactly a newcomer; still, I am feeling rather bitten that malice has been assumed as a motive for my efforts. I am not sure what comes across to you as readable; still, there is a certain method to the composition to Wikipedia that I am doing my best to comply and the rules do encourage editors to be bold with their efforts. No matter how much you behave toward me as a vandal, you need to face the fact that I am not going to be a stranger here on the English Wikipedia just as I have with you.

Hello thereHi Juhachi. I am Ryoga Godai. I would like to ask you something regarding an article I'm working on. Cardcaptor Sakura, an article you expanded, is on my watchlist and I must say it's wonderfully written. Well, the article I'm working on is Kimagure Orange Road, by Izumi Matsumoto, and I am kind of stuck. There are 3 novels released, one of them was even adapted to a movie. Should I describe their plot, I mean the novels, or should I just mention what they are about? I know this is out of the blue since I have not had any prior communication with you. However, seeing that you're an active participant of the WP:ANIME project, I wanted to ask. Thank you. ごだい (会話) 12:34, 8 December 2013 (UTC) Princess PrincessHey, sorry to bother you. This is about the anime "Princess Princess". Near the end of Episode 2 (~20 min) it's said (in english subtitles) that Yuujirou Shihoudani is the Eastern Princess and Mikoto Yutaka is the Western Princess. So I corrected this in the article because it was the other way round. But you undid it. I'm just wondering now if the translation in the anime is wrong and if you've got better sources to rely on. I hope you don't mind me asking. Anyanka92 (talk) 20:16, 11 December 2013 (UTC) Anthony Appleyard and RMsHi Juhachi, Anthony Appleyard is an admin who does a lot of work with technical move requests. In certain cases—you'd have to ask him about the specifics—he'll convert a technical request initially posted at WP:RM, along with the statement contesting it, into a formal RM. So even though in the talk page history it looks like Anthony wrote all of that himself, he's really importing it from elsewhere. It just so happens that in the case of Free! it was Anthony himself who was contesting the request. --BDD (talk) 04:33, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for BarnstarWant to help me bring Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture to B-class or GA class? Extremepro (talk) 23:23, 12 December 2013 (UTC) Hi, Just in case: I didn't make those "seasons" up. That's how the novels are divided, according to the author. I thought that would make the whole thing a bit clearer, especially considering the animated series used the "Monogatari Series Second Season" moniker for their adaptation of the novels of... well, the second season (the same thing might happen for the final season, actually). Maybe a short explanation about that in the introduction would help? As for the details I removed from that introduction: 1) It seems a bit odd to me to indicate that the series began with two volumes released on different days. 2) To say the series began when the first novel was released wouldn't quite be accurate either, as those stories were first serialized in Mephisto (starting in 2005). Hence the change to "the first novel was released in": at least that's accurate (and follows the example of similar articles for manga series, as far as I can tell). 3) I don't quite get the point of talking of the novels from Kizumonogatari to the most recent one as "one group" and of the two Bakemonogatari volumes as one other, as the current formulation does. Why not simply do the same thing as similar articles and list the release dates of the first and last volumes (just the first one, in this case, since the series isn't over, and a mention of the number of volumes available as of xx/xx/xxxx)? 4) Talking about the number of prequels and sequels only serves to muddy the issue, in my opinion, especially considering there's a number of cases that aren't all that clear-cut. Was Nekomonogatari (Black) a prequel? To Bakemonogatari, sure, but it's also a sequel to Kizumonogatari (and that would just be for the time of the action, not the narrator's time). Are we going to start talking about interquels? And the second and final seasons become increasingly complicated, chronologically speaking. Koyomominogatari in particular is tricky, as the stories all take place in different times, even going back to the "prequel period" mentioned earlier. 5) Is it accurate to call Koyomimonogatari a "short-story collection"? It's composed of several episodes (like other books of the series, in fact), but it's not like those were unrelated stand-alone stories that were published separately here and there and eventually collected as one book. In short: personally, I'd rather stay away from unnecessary, possibly confusing details concerning the chronology (surely, there would be other places to discuss the plot), avoid that seemingly arbitrary division between the Bakemonogatari volumes and everything else, and try to be as accurate as possible. I realize that shortened the paragraph quite a bit, but... Well, one thing that would seem somewhat relevant to mention there would probably be the Mephisto detail mentioned above, as that marks the actual start of the series. Possibly also a quick mention regarding the author's (really) short stories that are published outside of those volumes (in guidebooks, newspapers and such)? What do you think? Erigu (talk) 09:58, 15 December 2013 (UTC) Speculation on Flow (band)Hi there, I saw that you've been contributing some edits on Flow (band) (like this one) which I think constitute speculation (see WP:CRYSTAL). I've removed this content from the page for now: is this appropriate? See also WP:NM which says "Unreleased material (including demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only recordings) is only notable if it has significant independent coverage in reliable sources." I'd be interested in hearing your opinion. —Mono·nomic 04:48, 22 December 2013 (UTC) |
