talk:The Big O

Hi Nohansen. I understand you adressed all the pointsfrom Squillibob regarding the Prose and context ofThe Big O. Would you mind replying in detail? What I usually do for thesethings is that I put an answer in bold at the end of each bullet, explaining what I did, or why I think the request is inappropriate. This way it makes it much more easy to check for the reviewer. See the GA nom in talk:Serial Experiments Lain for an example. Thanks!--SidiLemine 10:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Just letting you know that I passed The Big O. Congratulations on the great work! Do you intend to push it to FAC, or do you have another GAC in mind? I am starting to push NGE to GAC, in case you don't know what to do next ;)! --SidiLemine 16:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Dear Nohansen,

    You may not remember sending me a message, probably because it was over 2 months ago, but you said
 thanks for the info about The Big O, even though you deleted it because it didn't go well with the
article and was too much without a spoiler warning, and that you thought I might help any pages here
about The Big O. I am extremely sorry I didn't send anything sooner. I didn't even know that we, as
users, could receive messages through wikipedia. I'm not very good with wikipedia, so it might take me
a while to get used to it all. Hope to hear from you again, and I'll be happy to lend anything I know
to help out. :) Andymauldin

License tagging for Image:Giant Robo - The Animation.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Giant Robo - The Animation.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Dorothywayneright.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dorothywayneright.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 12:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Dorothywayneright.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dorothywayneright.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 12:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Outlaw Star

Can you please not just go around deleting whole sections of articles without consulting anyone? You deleted such things as the link to the episodes page among other sections that I've had to restore. Not to mention there was no reason to duplicate information from the characters page into the main article as that's what the separate article was created for. Next time you feel that such major changes need to be made to an article please use the discussion page first before you just up and completely start gutting the article.

Phoenix 2772

I appreciate the enthusiasm, and I understand some of your points. However, some of the changes seemed to be a bit too extreme and also detract from the main theme of what's going on. Furthermore you are also making the changes without checking to see if they would be agreeable to the people who care about these pages since you are subtracting information instead of just adding.

And I disagree, I believe the Animanga Infobox IS necessary if it is to comply with the standards for the Wikiproject Anime and Manga. It can be both Film AND Animanga. I went to the trouble of uploading separate VHS boxes to help illustrate and define the uniqueness between the two. Allowing them BOTH a chance to exist. As for what you did to Metropolis, I WILL be undoing that.

Also, List of Osamu Tezuka anime is [i]NOT[/i] a clone of [Category:Osamu Tezuka anime]. The List is a comprehensive "one stop shop" if you will of all of his work, even the ones that haven't had pages built yet, something [Category:Osamu Tezuka anime] can't provide. If you want to move links about Tezuka to his page, that's fine by me, but at least explain that as the reasoning for why you are moving them.

Lastly, I noticed that there are others who are unhappy with what you have done on other anime themed pages. While your enthusiasm is nice, I think it'd be better to confirm with some of the people who invest a lot of time on these pages about what you WANT to change BEFORE you actually make them. You can easily submit requests on the Discussion page. Also, if you want to add something, go ahead, but moving and removing things is something I think asking permission for first would be better.

Once again, I appreciate the help, but please ask before removing things next time. Thank you.

OtakuMan 23:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are NOT part of the Osamu Tezuka anime category!

Alright, I just noticed you have added the "Osamu Tezuka anime" category to the bottom of your page. That is reserved for ARTICLES of or about Osamu Tezuka anime. It is NOT for people who are contributing as you are NOT about Tezuka anime NOR a Tezuka anime yourself.

Please remove that immediately. Thank you. I would hate to complain to an administrator about that.

OtakuMan 23:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Re:

Okay, I can see that your User Page isn't in [Category:Osamu Tezuka anime], but your discussion page is! Please remove it. I dunno if it got added by accident or what, but please take remove it as only the person whose User Page it is can remove something like that.
Alright, I owe you an apology on that one in that you weren't the one who made that change. However, upon reviewing that page, I STILL undid that change as I felt it was uncalled for.
And yes, I do expect other people to edit it within reason. The problem is that your edits aren't really within reason at all! It's the same problem with the Outlaw Star page!

Now then, I'm going to get back to working on the Phoenix 2772 page soon.

OtakuMan 13:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm going to drop the whole thing with Outlaw Star, but I still hold up that I disagree with your take on the Phoenix 2772 and Metropolis pages. I think that what was removed is important considering that these works fall under the WikiProject Anime and Manga, and also fall under the current template being used for handling everything under [Category:Osamu Tezuka] which is the ultimate project goal.

However, I can't see how I could have added you to the Osamu Tezuka Category since I shouldn't even have that capability as I'm editing your User Talk page to add a new message. Only the specific User of said User Talk page can remove it. I can't, and I've tried too.

So let's bury the hatchet and just let it go.

OtakuMan 14:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

White Wing

I see you PRODed Iuppitr and it was one of a number "comics" added as part of the White Wing publisher. That was deleted a while back but this entry (and others [1]) have hung around for a bit. I have tagged them all with notability tags a few months ago and nothing seems to have come of it (hit and run adding of promotional/hoax material? We never did get to the bottom of it) so PRODing does seem the right way forward. Anyway just a quick FYI and I'll see how those goes and then look at the others again.

Astro Boy (character)

I read your changes, and although I see why you removed the categories of powers (he is a fictional robot with such inborn abilities) I'm curious as to why you removed the maintenance tags, the additional external links, as well reworded the first few paragraphs. So, can you explain? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 02:20, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One last thing, I noticed that Astro's gender is given as male. Is this erroneously placed? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rape anime and manga

I've nominated Category:Rape anime and manga for deletion at your request. The CfD process isn't actually hard in normal cases, by the way. All you have to do is put {{subst:cfd1}} on the category page, and then there's a line that will appear at the bottom of the template telling you what to do next, which is a simple copy-paste job. It only looks complicated on the directions because they also have to cover other situations like mass nominations. --tjstrf talk 05:12, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

in re Talk:Tsukikage Ran

Not you. —TangentCube, Dialogues 17:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As in "AnimenFo enciclopedia" right?

Per WP:EL, "avoid linking to a website that you represent [...] please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let independent editors decide whether towhether to add it.

Sure, the same editors who link to AnimenFo and even call that an enciclopedia when most titles don't list even a director or just name a couple of main characters, not to mention mission/non english reviews (just being annoying, don't kill me).

I rather not try, since Anime editors at Wikipedia are too biased towars sites they like (at AnimenFo speed del talk someone even mentions "I don't know it, so delete". ... great argument!)

In a final note, for future references use "avoid linking to fansites" or "avoid linking to insignificant sites" as one would think that WP:EL mentions site ownership, and that is not true ;)

List of The Big O characters

Alright, can you cite where they say that in the project? Because otherwise the page needs to be moved. And I know how to move a page, but what you obviously don't know is that you can't move a page to a redirect, the redirect has to be deleted. List of Blood+ characters, List of InuYasha characters, and even List of Astro Boy characters are all in this format, as such your claim is void, I will though put List of The Big O characters up for speedy deletion so that we can move the history. -Sox 207 19:24, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of The Big O media

Thank you for saying that those pages exist. I looked at this page and there were no links to the articles, so I figured that we weren't doing that for The Big O.

Template:The Big O to Template:The Big O episodes

Whatever I guess its fine, it actually looks really good. Do we really need the new category or should we just put them in Category:The Big O and categorize them like:

|Act:01

? -The Big X 23:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The category is made and in the correct categories itself, every episode page that exists is categorized, etc. Also did you see what I have been doing for the past hour on Category:Screenshots of The Big O? The CAT was sort of abandoned, but I went to every single image used for The Big O and categorized them. Though there are CD covers, DVD covers, and book covers in the mix, I will keep them there until we can move the category to something like Category:The Big O media.

Also from earlier... I guess we are both control freaks, and both driving each other crazy, but what matters is that we keep our cool and are still keeping our cool, and that is what editing is all about! -The Big X 23:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Champion RED

According to many online stores, including Amazon Japan, the magazine is a seinen manga magazine, but these sites are not always right. Though the magazine has manga with an adult content (this might be the reason why so many online stores mention it as a seinen manga magazine), but according to Akita Shoten (the publisher of Champion RED), Champion RED's manga are shounen manga.

Go to Akita Shoten's site, and go to the publication search page: http://www.akitashoten.co.jp/search/index.html then go to search by title (click second option), enter for example any manga that was serialized in Champion RED that has some volumes released, lets take for example Princess Tutu, enter these プリンセスチュチュ in the textbox, and choose: "dansei muke comics" = "comics for men" from the combobox, and search... you'll find nothing. again the same thing but choose from the combobox: "shounen muke comics" = "comics for boys", and search... success you found the Princess Tutu manga volumes.

Any manga that comes from Champion RED and its sister magazine Champion RED Ichigo, you'll be able to find under "shounen muke comics" in Akita Shoten's publication search.

When Akita Shoten puts Champion RED's manga under "dansei muke comics", I'll start calling the magazine a seinen manga magazine, but for now I'll stick with what the publisher has on its site. --ChuChu (talk) 19:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Main characters (Tokyo Babylon).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Main characters (Tokyo Babylon).jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:07, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of a demographic field to the animanga/Novel

What about the addition of the demographic field to the Template:Infobox animanga/Novel? will this be added any time soon? --ChuChu (talk) 17:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only you and one other person have opposed the three options I've demonstrated. Please update yourself on the discussion and maybe you'll come to terms?

Hellsing (anime)

Can't help but ask, why remove the reference? Please respond on your talk page. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was unnecessary. It was sourcing something that didn't needed sourcing ("Hellsing is a Japanese animated television series produced by Gonzo"). Those are cold, hard facts. Furthermore, it was a dead link.--Nohansen (talk) 04:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that makes sense. BTW, I'll reply back here tomorrow. Too sleepy to give a good answer. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to Samurai Champloo page

Nohansen,

Thanks for your contribution to the article, Samurai Champloo. I was working on it for a while but went on a bit of a wiki-hiatus recently. I'm finding that it happens a lot that users change the demographic field to suit the category they think a manga/show/movie belongs in. It's much more consistent, rather, to stipulate that the demographic is that which has been denoted by the producer of the work -- publisher for manga, studio/production company for anime. Further, I hadn't much thought of the fact that, historically, only mangas have been broken down into these taxonomical categories by their producers. (I was reminded after reading the thread you linked to in your edit summary.) Thus, designating a demographic for an anime -- however true you may know it to be -- is likely to be your own opinion (i.e. original research) and, in any event, is asking for lots of conflict over of what the right demographic for a particular anime is.

Needless to say, many users have been trying to change the demographic field in the Champloo article to seinen from shonen. Originally, the demographic field in the infobox was in the top of the box, indicating that it meant the demographic of the original work of which the article was primarily intended. So, for a while, we allowed both shonen and seinen to stay up there -- shonen because of the shonen mag in which the manga is serialized and seinen because of a dispute over whether the show was "intended" for younger audiences or not. Personally, I like consistency so I was against eliminating the shonen altogether, an action that some users boldly suggested because they, thinking of Naruto and One Piece, didn't believe there was anything remotely similar or shonen-like about the show (which, technically, is the focus of the article--not the manga). Well, in any event, I'm glad that demo field has been moved down to the manga part of the infobox and that someone caught the double labeling. Sorry to be so long winded. Please do contribute again to the article if you have the time and inclination! Cheers! ask123 (talk) 03:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Elfen Lied

Hello, I replied to your proposal of splitting the article on a talk page. To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea, as:

I can't find enough information for the anime alone, not even the manga.
The manga hasn't been released in English.
The story is almost exactly the same as the anime with a few minor tweaks.
How many references are we gonna find (in English) to put citations in if no-one who doesn't speak Japanese can understand them?
Most importantly, I'm seeking the help of Juhachi and trying to turn the article as well as the list of episodes into an FA or at least an A-class, and depriving it of more information won't help.

Along the lines of that, I ask, could you help me in adding/revamping the article so we can nominate it for Peer Review/FA? æt ə rnal ðrAعon 10:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Chanbara anime and manga‎

I just found out about WP:R2D (can't edit the redirect for some reason in the software). And about the new cat, did you nail every article? Also, why use "Chanbara" over "Chambara"? Please reply on your talk page. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think that's all of them. I just categorized the ones I remembered off the top of my head. Others I can think of are Lady Snowblood and Ninja Resurrection.

I chose "Chanbara" over "Chambara" because it seems to be the convention when it comes to the romanization of Japanese in Wikipedia: "senpai" instead of "sempai"; "Tenpō" instead of "Tempō". Personally, I prefer "Chambara".--Nohansen (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lady Snowblood

Please see discussion in Lady Snowblood. I have matched the Manual of Style with the relevant information. Appreciate your input to improve the article. I agree with the new graphic novel table format but hit "undo" and can't restore with affecting the changes I've done. Please put in the table for the volume again. Thanks!

Cowboy Bebop

Are the genres and categories there about right? For instance, is it not a wierd west? And I can't figure out which came first, the anime or manga. Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The anime came first. The current categories (and genres) appear correct. As for my recent addiction of Category:Western anime and manga to Cowboy Bebop, see the definition I wrote at the category's page. My intent is to include all varieties of "Western animanga" (Weird, Space, Scifi, and all in between) in the category until the time comes when we'll need to refine it further.--Nohansen (talk) 04:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I thought the anime was first. Would it still make sense to include Category:1998 works? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess. But actually, there are two manga series: one started 1997, the other in 1998. That would mean including Category:1997 works, too.

To avoid cluttering articles with categories regarding various installments of a franchise, I proposed categorizing the redirects. Three editors agreed, no one objected. For examples of this, see my edit in X (manga) and X (TV series); and Doceirias's edit in Spice and Wolf and Spice and Wolf: Holo's and My One Year.--Nohansen (talk) 05:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then the manga was first? BTW, is this correct? If so, the category needs to be updated. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems a manga adaptation was published before the anime premiered, yes (I didn't realize that). Both manga were published in Asuka Fantasy DX, so they're both "shōjo".--Nohansen (talk) 15:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
