About a deleted article.

Hello, I was wondering do I need to Requests for undeletion for The Irregular at Magic High School (season 3) or just create the article again? Season 3 will lunch in about three weeks. I'm pretty sure I can make the page now since it has genuine reason to exist compared to January 2022 when it didn't have an official announcement and hence it was deleted. Parham.es (talk) 10:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

@Parham.es: If there is enough coverage now, I suppose that it would be fine to create it now. Xexerss (talk) 19:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello again, I made a mistake and instead of creating the article with this name: The Irregular at Magic High School season 3, I made it like this: The Irregular at Magic High School (season 3). How can I change it? Correct me if I'm wrong but I need to use the "Move" section from the article, right? Parham.es (talk) 18:39, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
@Parham.es: Yes, that will do. Xexerss (talk) 18:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Alright then thanks, for the reason of the Move "remove unnecessary parentheses/disambiguator" is the right one correct? sorry If I'm asking these easy questions, this is my first time doing it and I want to make sure I'm doing it right :D Parham.es (talk) 18:46, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
@Parham.es: Yes. That was the consensus of Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)#Follow-up RfC on TV season article titles. Xexerss (talk) 18:49, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Templates and their rules

Hello, As far as I understand each template has its own rules which means another template rule is not applicable for another (kinda). The reason why I brought this up is because I've seen in some article, Spy × Family (TV series) for example that some editors keep deleting the last_aired date of the anime even though it is ended and insist that based on Template:Infobox television's rules "Set the last episode date as the "last_aired" date only if there is no announcement for 12 months". My problem is that we are not even using Template:Infobox television for animes but using Template:Infobox animanga/Video which doesn't have such a rule and as far as I know the reason we have different templates for different subjects and stuff (well one of the reasons) is because of different situation they can have, for example everyone knows that animes are always ended unless they announce something, every single season counts as the last one, unless they announce two or more seasons before hand. So because of this I assume they didn't include the 12 months rules in Template:Infobox animanga/Video because anime simply doesn't work like normal TV series does. As you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spy_%C3%97_Family_(TV_series)&action=history I changed this twice and both times was done by two different editors in this article, but I really wonder am I even right about this? honestly using another template's rules doesn't make sense to me, we do have another template for animes for a reason! Parham.es (talk) 19:07, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

@Parham.es: If the article is using Template:Infobox animanga/Video, I don't see what Template:Infobox television has to do with it. If an editor has a problem with that, then they should start a discussion and not make those changes just like that. If there is no kind of announcement implying that a series is going to continue, I don't see any reason why we should say otherwise in the article. Xexerss (talk) 19:17, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Xexerss,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Isekai

Why it doesn't require italics while yuri, yaoi, yakuza etc. do? Fleyzk (talk) 20:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

@Fleyzk: See MOS:FOREIGN#Terms with common usage in English. Leaving aside the fact that the yakuza article uses italics in specific parts, the other terms don't have common usage in English. Note that the term isekai is included in the Oxford English Dictionary.[1] Xexerss (talk) 20:40, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Incomplete sentence on Dragon Ball manga page

Hi Xexerss, you reverted an edit I made on the Dragon Ball manga page and I wanted some clarification.

The original two sentences: "Although he suspected the fighting genre would appeal more to its shōnen audience, Toriyama tried to stick to the Journey to the West adventure aspect which he himself enjoyed. Such as having the setting change each chapter, different enemies popping up, and different locations."

It seems like in starting the sentence with "Such as" is impromper and an incomplete sentence, no? It seemed clunky/wrong when I was reading through the article and so I attempted a fix. If my fix wasn't up-to-code, that's fine, but it still doesn't seem right. I was also thinking of just changing the period to a comma and making it one longer sentence - even that litte change seems better than the original. Thoughts? Pac12dan (talk) 17:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@Pac12dan: Hi. I think the sentence, as it is currently written, might needs to be reworded, but the way you tried to fix it doesn't seem to be an improvement. I assume good faith in your edit nonetheless, so feel free to reword the sentence again, but please try to be thorough with the way you rewrite it. Xexerss (talk) 17:58, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
I agree, upon reading it back I don't think my edit was an improvement. If I come up with something I'll have another go. Appreciate the feedback! Pac12dan (talk) 18:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Reverted?

Hello @Xexerss, you have reverted changes i made adding some wikis to external links without any explanation as to why, so i would like to humbly ask why this was reverted, keeping in mind i'm not used to all the rules yet. It was my understanding that such links were welcome, see for example the wookiepedia link on star wars or the memory alpha one on star trek. Thank you very much. TheBookfinder (talk) 20:05, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@TheBookfinder: Hi. I left a link to WP:ELNO when reverting your edits, which indicates that "Open wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors" should not be linked. I don't know why those articles have links to those sites, but take WP:OTHERCONTENT into account. Xexerss (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Alright i had not clicked on WP:ELNO, i gave it a good read, thank you.
If i understand correctly the links i have put to open wikis would be fine in the future once they have a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors, which isn't currently the case? TheBookfinder (talk) 20:57, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
@TheBookfinder: Yes, although this must be looked at on a case-by-case basis. You can ask at WP:TEA if you have more inquiries about this. Xexerss (talk) 21:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Ok thank you very much for the clarification, help, and taking the time to answer. TheBookfinder (talk) 21:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

New article to create for you (my last request)

Hi @Xexerss, there is a new article to create about a manga series by Shiro (same author as Encouragement of Climb) serialized in Young King OURs since 2019 with a live-action TV drama adaptation, can you create it? It's Camera, Hajimete mo Ii Desu ka?.

Thanks. Tebus19 (talk) 21:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

@Tebus19: Alright. I have some time for now, so I'll do it in a while. Xexerss (talk) 22:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 Done Xexerss (talk) 23:47, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
@Xexerss, thank you so much, and if you have more time, can you also create Koi wo Shiranai Bokutachi wa? It's shōjo manga series by Minami Mizuno (same author as Rainbow Days) serialized in Bessatsu Margaret from 2017 to 2021 with a recently announced live-action film adaptation. Source: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-04-03/rainbow-days-creator-minami-mizuno-koi-o-shiranai-boku-tachi-wa-manga-gets-live-action-film/.209532 Tebus19 (talk) 10:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
@Tebus19: Alright, I'll try to create it in a while. It may be the last article I can create for now, so I'll have to turn down further requests for the time being. I hope you understand. Xexerss (talk) 15:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
@Xexerss, yes i understand, in fact that's why i wrote in the section title "(my last request)" for some time. Tebus19 (talk) 16:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. Xexerss (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Remow

Hello! I was going to publish another edit on the Tonbo! article earlier as I was doing it on the mobile version of the web before something came up.

There's a report from IGN India as for REMOW being the owner of the YouTube channel. https://in.ign.com/anime/199799/news/another-youtube-channel-streaming-anime-for-free-now-available-in-india

The company does list most of its partnered platforms in the video descriptions. It's quite unfortunate that they don't really write proper posts for their distribution like other distributors.

I'd like to create an article for the company in the future, but as you already know, I've been hoping to see more reputable outlets report about their releases so I could use them as citations. ChickyBros (talk) 03:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@ChickyBros: Hi. Thanks for the info. In fact, I was about to change the source that you added in the article for this one (per WP:A&M/ORS UK Anime Network's posts written by Ross Locksley at least are reliable). I think the content is more clearly confirmed there than in the description of the YouTube video, but I still ask you if you would agree with the change. Xexerss (talk) 03:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
I think that'd be a great change! Let's go for it. ChickyBros (talk) 03:19, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

About the article from Insomniacs After School

You deleted my change in the article, while only saying that my way of using a ref was wrong. I still think that the represantation of person with HLHS should be mentioned in the article. What is the best way of including that in the article( 2A00:20:4048:D890:D4A6:30FF:FE49:24EB (talk) 17:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Are you Rylux (talk · contribs)? I re-added the content. It was just a formatting issue with the citation. Xexerss (talk) 22:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I was just not logged in. Thank you. But I still don't understand why you had to delete it completely, instead of just editing it. Rylux (talk) 10:20, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
@Rylux: I only fixed your edit because you took the time to talk about it here at my talk page. Next time, please take the time to add the sources correctly and don't let other editors fix your own edits. Xexerss (talk) 15:03, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

My Hero Academia

Please, tell me that there's nothing wrong with my last edit on the My Hero Academia article (I added an important genre that was missing, according to the source) Fleyzk (talk) 13:29, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

@Fleyzk: MOS:A&M (a note is usually included in the infoboxes) suggests to limit the inclusion of the three most relevant genres. I don't think we need to include all the tags used on the Viz Media site, and I don't think MHA is particularly known for its comedy. Xexerss (talk) 13:48, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
I think that My Hero Academia differs from many manga for its comedy, the fact that it is way less "dark" than other fighting manga and it has a lot of comic characters and gags Fleyzk (talk) 13:58, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
For example, I think that "comedy" describes My Hero Academia better than "adventure" (but both are right) Fleyzk (talk) 14:03, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
@Fleyzk: I don't think it's particularly more comedy-centric than the average WSJ series, but that's my stance. In any case, the MOS suggests the limit of three genres. Now, what those three most relevant genres should be is something that might worth a discussion at the talk page. Xexerss (talk) 14:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Ok, after seeing other articles I think that "adventure" is better. The real problem is that there isn't an article about "science fantasy comedy" genre. There are "fantasy comedy" and "science fiction comedy" but no science fantasy comedy. Fleyzk (talk) 14:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
What if we write science fantasy comedy?
I see that in the City Hunter article there's written detective comedy as a single genre Fleyzk (talk) 14:42, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
@Fleyzk: Just to make it clear, I'm not going to revert your edit in the MHA article (I'll leave it to another editor's discretion if it is okay to leave it as is), but I'll remind you about WP:OTHERCONTENT. About the City Hunter article, now that I remember, it was me who made that edit a few years ago,[2] but now that I think about it, it was rather an arbitrary decision and I think that the three terms can be perfectly listed as separate genres. Xexerss (talk) 22:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Ok, I've seen that it's been reverted. No problem. I just think that there should be an article about "science fantasy comedy" since there are "science fiction comedy" (even if it's a very short article) and "fantasy comedy". But I know that it's not an urgent matter. Fleyzk (talk) 02:11, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Rurouni Kenshin: The Motion Picture

About Rurouni Kenshin: The Motion Picture I think there is another poster featuring more characters but I don't know if it has the logo of the movie. Any idea? Maybe it might replace the current one to be more illustrative of the cast. CheersTintor2 (talk) 18:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I think the current one is fine. Is that other image a theatrical release poster? It seems that these are the ones that are usually preferred. Xexerss (talk) 19:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (film) soundtrack

Hi there, thank you for correcting the things I'd missed in the edit, I was planning on doing them but I was in a hurry, so, I thought to just publish at the moment. You seem to have removed the headline but the template says to include it for accessibility? Also, wouldn't the better title be "Original Soundtrack" rather than "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack", though, it is a movie and it makes sense to include the that in the title, I see most sources mentioning only the former. Also, I was thinking to create a separate article for the soundtrack itself, would you be willing to help out on that because I am unable to find many references. Lunar-akaunto／talk 08:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

@Lunar-akaunto: I guess any of those titles are fine. "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" is the title used by some audio streaming platforms.[3] I don't think I have that much time to get actively involved with that, but I may give some help if you're planning to create it at some point. Xexerss (talk) 09:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Okay, and wouldn't it be more practical to mention "Jujutsu Kaisen soundtrack albums" in the chronology section rather than all the mentioned three artists? the guide mentions to state the default artist's chronology but doesn't say anything about multiple artists. Multiple chronologies could be used but I believe they have released some other albums in between and this chronology would not work for the next 2 albums either, since, only Terui among the three worked on them? By the way, I only discuss this here because you seem to be actively editing the article and if I edit in between and you disagree and revert that'd disrupt the article space. Lunar-akaunto／talk 09:25, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: Yes, sorry, I didn't notice that and just removed the parameter. Xexerss (talk) 09:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
No problem. I will let you know when I work on creating the article for the soundtrack. Lunar-akaunto／talk 10:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi again, I am working to add the soundtrack for season 2, but as you mentioned earlier not to use「」or alike, what would be better to use as an alternative instead? Would " " be better? This is not just for Jujutsu Kaisen soundtracks but other albums as well where the use of phrasing such as "TV Animation" is prominent in the title? see: Spy × Family: Original Soundtrack (this is just an example, but many soundtracks titles are not as simple as Spy × Family, since, they contain some divisions in the title such as season 2, or an arc, where using the quoting for the title becomes more appropriate, using " " makes it look a little clumped together? When official English translations contain those typographic symbols, are we supposed to translate the symbols as well? I see no harm in using them but if there's any guide that says otherwise. What do you think of this? I asked you since a second opinion would be better before I make any more edits on this. Of course, I can just add the soundtrack for season 2 and will let you know and you may edit add the title as you see fit. Lunar-akaunto／talk 13:25, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: Apparently the album has not been released in the English-speaking market yet (as far as I know), so "Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death and Shibuya Incident Original Soundtrack" would be a possible choice I suppose.[4] Feel free to use another similar title if you can think of something better. I think we could simply omit those symbols. They are only used to emphasize the title of the series, but I don't think we need to use them here. Xexerss (talk) 13:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Oh, an English version has been released but is limited to a few countries. It was available at my place but became unavailable shortly after, [5]. I believe it would it be alright to alter the title by adding space before and after "/", and removing "The" before Shibuya Incident to match that of the Wikipedia article? Also, an important thing, there are 2 soundtracks for season 2, the "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" and "Shibuya Incident", the former release includes Hidden Inventory ost in Disc 1 again followed by the new ost in Disc 2. Adding both would be just repeating the same information twice, what do you suggest? Lunar-akaunto／talk 14:38, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: I think you know more about the soundtrack release than I do, so feel free to use your own judgment for the time being in that regard. Xexerss (talk) 15:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Okay. I have added it now while altering the titles to maintain consistency. See if it's alright. Lunar-akaunto／talk 04:58, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: Looks good to me now. Xexerss (talk) 08:04, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Considering the article doesn't use nonfree images other than the theatrical poster, do you guys suggest uploading the cover of the soundtrack? Tintor2 (talk) 00:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Don't do that, it most likely would be deleted since the focus of the article is season 2 and not the soundtrack itself. I did it for other soundtracks when I was a newbie, and they were deleted. The soundtrack cover can be used if, in the future, a separate article for the soundtrack is created. Lunar-akaunto／talk 06:55, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
okay Tintor2 (talk) 11:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Comic Ran Twins

Hi @Xexerss, I hope you are doing well, if you have free time can you create the Comic Ran Twins manga magazine article? I think there is enough to create an article for that and the Japanese article also looks good. M.A.LasTroniN910t@lk 00:06, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

@M.A.LasTroniN910: Hi. I think that the magazine is probably notable and there must be enough sources to create an article. However, I don't have experience creating magazine articles, and although it wouldn't be something extremely complicated, in case I do so, I would look for enough sources to create an article with good references, and unfortunately, I don't have enough free time to promise that I will create it in the short term. Xexerss (talk) 01:34, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Don’t worry about the clock. M.A.LasTroniN910t@lk 01:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Notability of Baddies!

I was about to WP:PROD the Baddies! article when I saw that you improved it a bit. I am curious as to whether you can find sources for it, because I have been unsuccessful thus far. I checked English, Japanese, and French for sources but to no avail. Link20XX (talk) 23:05, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

@Link20XX: I just did a quick search, but nothing worth citing. I just tried to make an improvement, but I wouldn't oppose if the article is nominated for deletion. Xexerss (talk) 03:42, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Undo

Excuse me, can I ask why did you undo my edits ([this and this)? Amelia (talk) 16:07, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

@Amelia: See MOS:OVERLINK. Don't abbreviate links to Anime News Network. Xexerss (talk) 16:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Well, they created the shortcut ann to use, I didn't find any problem if I used the shortened one. Amelia (talk) 16:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
@Amelia: This is because the template was previously simply named 'ANN', but there was a discussion some time ago and it was renamed. It is preferred to use the entire template directly instead of its shortcut. Xexerss (talk) 16:36, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Okay, I got it. Amelia (talk) 16:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Date A Live

Hi, I'm sorry, but I reverted your revision because I believe, TLDR, it's worth it to mention the actual artist, and this time I tweaked it. Compare the game Witchaven which mentions the cover art done by Ken Kelly. That caption has been there a very long time without issue (even though the game is now obscure). If this isn't consistent with other anime articles, then perhaps it's time to change the status quo a bit in the name of inclusion - this kind of credit isn't without precedent either (think of how many cartoons open with episode credits for example). It's not some protest or crusade by me, but artists do deserve some overlooked credit. ~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk) 01:56, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay so, I just realized the infobox mentions Tsunako anyway; I didn't realize the illustration generally and cover share the same artist haha my bad. But still for clarity for now I delinked the name, feel free to revert it all of course. :( ~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk) 01:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
@Sigehelmus: It's not really that important to me to leave it or not, but I don't find it necessary if the illustrator is already included in the same infobox ("illustrator" parameter); seems kinda redundant. Xexerss (talk) 03:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

As I revised an old character article, Pegasus Seiya, I noticed wikicommons had a lot of cosplays involving his armors but I can't tell if I'm being objective by getting rid of the Sagittarius image and replacing it with another cosplay to avoid more copyrighted material. I'm kinda confused that Japanese Wikipedia has an image of Shingo Araki's Seiya (anime design for the first arc that contrasts Kurumada's) but I can't find any notable interview.

Frieren

Hi there! I wanted to nominate Frieren to Good Article status. Since you are a major contributor to the article, I would like to ask you for your consent before nominating the article. Best Wishes, KjjjKjjj (talk) 08:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@KjjjKjjj: That's fine with me. I must say beforehand, however, that I don't have much experience with good articles nominations, so my consent is all I can offer here. Xexerss (talk) 09:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Heavenly Delusion

I created a manga chapter list of Heavenly Delusion considering the current amount of volumes and the length the author has planned. Still, I'm not sure if it deserves a navigation box like we did with The Case Study of Vanitas as there is not much commentary on the characters. I imagine Kiruko has a lot of sources based on her gender themes but I still haven't searched info for her.Tintor2 (talk) 14:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Created Kiruko after doing some research. Feel free to edit it. There might be potential for Maru's notability based on a book I read but Kiruko was the easiest one as most articles focus on Kiruko's gender themes in early episodes. The last two episodes had some negative responses due to Kiruko being violated by Robin but I can't find big deals about it besides the only two ANN reviews of episode 12 and 13. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 22:48, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Created Maru (Heavenly Delusion). Sadly I couldn't find one newer illustration from Ishiguro so I instead use the first promotion of the manga. If you find any image, feel free to replace it. Also, if possible could you create a navigation template for Heavenly Delusion now that there are more articles rather than all combined? I'm not good at making those and it might make the two characters articles less orphan. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 01:02, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Oyasumi Punpun

Why did you revert the table? The table seems much more legible; when proofreading, I was getting lost between lines, which is why I added it. How about we ask for a third opinion on this? Lunar-akaunto／talk 03:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lunar-akaunto: I think I explained it in my edit summary. Although WP:MOS-AM#Characters doesn't state anything about the use or prohibition of tables for characters list, the change seemed arbitrary to me and I don't know of any other anime and manga article using other than the usual layout. I agree with having a third opinion anyway. Xexerss (talk) 04:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Since you have experience creating lists, could you check the above article for any potential errors? I noticed that for some reason it just wouldn't show up in search results, even when you force-filter the search terms with " ". I did not create the article, and I have tried to check, but I cannot seem to figure out the reason. Is it perhaps because it has still not been reviewed, or, however, does that work since it's been a while since it was created, so it should be marked as reviewed? Lunar-akaunto／talk 15:10, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, now it appears. Did you review it? Lunar-akaunto／talk 07:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Jujutsu Kaisen character list

Character descriptions and missing Cursed Technique and ability descriptions, or even story contributions are very much vital to good character lists, and there is a national group chat of anime fans here, so others might have edited because they are a part of that group. For example, I have seen another good character list recently for Young Justice. You removed Yuji's description, but it is very much necessary, especially when the Black Flash and his connection to Nanami, Todo, Eso, Kechizu and Higuruma is mentioned. It is needed 92.80.77.37 (talk) 16:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't know what your definition of "good character list" is, but I suggest to familiarize yourself with MOS:INUNIVERSE. You can check articles like List of Naruto characters, List of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba characters, List of D.Gray-man characters, or List of Dragon Ball characters (to name a few) and you will notice how these articles are not extra-detailed narratives about the events of the characters, but concise descriptions of them (as they should be). No, naming each of the characters' techniques is not necessary for the purposes of Wikipedia. Xexerss (talk) 16:27, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Ahem?

Why do you keep removing the explanation when you revert the edits from the IP user? I thought my edit summary was plenty, but apparently it is not for you, so I'll reiterate. The lit. reading for it is "frieren at the funeral", as I explained on the talk page, which you agree with; "frieren the slayer" is also a lit. translation, but when read in kun'yomi. An explanation is necessary. There are many anime where you can read the titles in kun'yomi, but we avoid them since they provide no insightful meaning or because they are read as such due to the context and not because of an alternate reading like kun'yomi. But it's different here because it does. You added the ref., linking to the chapter. What do you think about the attack on titan? Officially, the translation for the dialogue 進撃の巨人 in season 3 is "the attack titan" in both the manga and the anime; do you think this is applicable there too? changing the translation to "the attack titan" and linking to the episode or the manga? Probably not, right? This is the same. I would now go ahead and restore the explanation one last time, and I request that you please use the talk page if the above explanation is not plenty, and we can discuss it further there so others can participate as well. Lunar-akaunto／talk 17:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: I started a discussion at the series talk page, but I'll reply you here as well. I added sources because the IP user was pointing out that the note included "original research", so I added references to justify the use of a translation. I'm not going to talk about AoA case because that is another topic; see WP:OTHERCONTENT. Xexerss (talk) 17:10, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
@Xexerss: I'm well aware of WP:OTHERCONTENT, but I only used it here because I thought it'd be helpful as a reference, but nevermind. Please wait. I'll try to post a reasonable explanation on the article's talk page without referring to any other wiki articles. Lunar-akaunto／talk 19:49, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Also, I didn't remove any explanation in my last edit on the article, I just added another source to reinforce the legitimacy of the translation. What edit are you talking about? Xexerss (talk) 17:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
@Xexerss: My bad, i mixed up the edit previews. but it still remains that you did it once even after my edit summary; even if you do disagree with me removing it, and it's only natural if we do disagree because we're bound to have differing views, you should have used the talk page before because i also did you the courtesy when you first disagreed over this the last time. Lunar-akaunto／talk 19:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: I apologize for not going to the discussion page from the beginning. I thought my explanation about citing a source to justify a translation in the article would be convincing, but I see that it was not, so yeah, it was my fault. Xexerss (talk) 20:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
I would also say that if you really dislike conversing here or on the article's talk page, how about posting something like, "Don't post at my talk page"? at the top of your talk page or specifically instructing me to do so. I would gladly respect that request; it also saves me some time in the future. thank you? Lunar-akaunto／talk 17:01, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: Why do you think I "dislike conversing here"? What comment of mine here gives you that impression? Xexerss (talk) 17:05, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
What gives me that impression? mmm, "no comment"?. You do not engage on the talk page of the article; you did not even provide any comment, even after pinging last time. You also do not seem to reply to the messages I posted on your talk page the other day, so it gives that impression. Lunar-akaunto／talk 19:56, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: Look, don't take it personally, but I just don't usually respond to every message that editors post at my talk page. I read them, and if I can do something to address what they ask, I do, but don't expect me to reply every time to every single message. Xexerss (talk) 20:05, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Uh-huh. I didn't take it personally, though, but it's just that you shied away too many times from the article's talk page that I thought I should say this. But it's fine. Lunar-akaunto／talk 20:25, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Pluto

Hi again, Xexerss. You recently reverted @Shiroyuki Holoyouko Nomaeru's edit to the article Pluto. I checked, and it seems what they added is indeed the full title of the manga. I have restored it for now, but I would suggest you strikethrough your message on their talk page, which claims their edit is vandalism. Lunar-akaunto／talk 11:42, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lunar-akaunto: Alright. I'm ok with including the subtitle if Viz Media includes it. However, despite the way it appears on their site, I think the 'x' should be replaced for a '×' symbol in the article (except in references where x is literally used), like in Hunter × Hunter and Spy × Family (note that those series also include an x on Viz website.[6][7] Xexerss (talk) 18:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes, you're right. I did consider using "×" instead of "x" but didn't because I was not so sure and mainly because my concern was just to restore the edit itself. Lunar-akaunto／talk 06:43, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Launching the article on REMOW

I know that I can't fully quote the founding of REMOW on every anime series, despite their profile already been made on Nada Holdings Chinese article. Should I just focus on Nada Holdings article instead? VernardoLau (talk) 11:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page reader) @VernardoLau: I checked, and apparently Remow has not received a significant amount of independent coverage; even if you do create it now, it is mostly likely to be redirected or moved to draftspace. I would suggest working on Nada Holdings. Lunar-akaunto／talk 15:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
@VernardoLau: It would be ideal if there were sufficient coverage of the company, as mentioned above. Xexerss (talk) 01:27, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
I don't guaranteed to publish the article without the English sources since the coverage doesn't seems to widely available in the English press. VernardoLau (talk) 05:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
@VernardoLau: It's not necessary for the article to exclusively include sources in English, but it must contain enough secondary sources to evidence notability, although I'm not very familiar with sources in Chinese, so I wouldn't know which ones can be considered reliable or not. Xexerss (talk) 07:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
@VernardoLau: You can absolutely use other language sources without any problems, but can you list a few that you're going to use? for example, are those news articles? Just keep in mind that they shouldn't be just trivial mentions of the company and should contain some commentary or in-depth discussion. Lunar-akaunto／talk 12:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
When I search the company name in Chinese (智寶國際開發), all I can find so far are just financial information. One of the article was about the financing plan on promoting Japanese IP.[8] VernardoLau (talk) 12:26, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Is that the only source you can find? I'm not sure whether that's reliable, but even if it is, the article would not be suitable for a standalone article based on just one source. I tried searching, and there are some mentions; see China Times. I checked the article at Chinese wiki the other day, and it too lists some of these sources. I don't know about the topic itself, but I could only find 5 news articles at best that mention this, and only this; I do not see anything else other than the shareholder information about the company. I would say, in my opinion, that this does not pass the notability criteria, and i think this is the reason why the article doesn't exist as a standalone article on Chinese Wikipedia. Maybe work on Nada Holdings instead? Lunar-akaunto／talk 12:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Well, since I can't write that article at the moment due lack of resources as we can find, maybe I shall focus on other articles edit in the meantime. VernardoLau (talk) 17:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
(BTW, just a side note, Xexerss, i hope you don't mind me replying here. I will clarify that i do not have your talk page on my watchlist; it's just that i often read user / project talk pages, and yours has previously involved discussions that sometimes overlap with my interests, but nevertheless, I understand how it can be disrupting, so do say so if it feels so, and I'll not engage going forward unless necessary.)

Zom100

Regarding my edits to the article:

  • I did not believe that hidden note was necessary anymore as the sources are already there for the genre section, thus making it obsolete in my opinion.
  • I was simply not aware of MOS:LQUOTE.

Hope this helps. GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 03:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@GalaxyFighter55: I'd like to think that such notes are no longer necessary and we should stop adding them in articles. Unfortunately there are all kinds of users who add genres that they personally think fit a series or change those that are supported by the sources for others that are not even mentioned in the sources. It's true that this has not happened that much in the Zom 100 article specifically, but I feel it's better to leave it for prevention. Xexerss (talk) 03:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I thought that too. But my reasoning is that since the topic of the article is the soundtrack itself, maybe not? But again, I have done my work, but if tomorrow someone decides it's excessive and removes them, it's their choice and will be fine with me. I found one interview for the soundtrack; I'll try to add it and find others to avoid any possible deletion in the future. Lunar-akaunto／talk 17:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Beastars in Category:Fiction about human trafficking

You removed Category:Fiction about human trafficking from Beastars without comment. I support the category because the characters Louis, San and Kyuu were people trafficked like property, and Oguma bought and adopted Louis as his son. This satisfies the relevance of human trafficking in the story. Though Beastars has no literal humans, it still has people, and all the people in the story are human analogues with very human behaviors and lifestyles. This is anthropomorphism, in this case where non-human characters are portrayed with human traits for the sake of storytelling, so many human tropes still fully apply in context. Gilgamesh (talk) 00:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gilgamesh: Read WP:CATV. Nothing in the article supports your statement and what you're stating here is WP:ORIGINAL. Xexerss (talk) 00:45, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Any idea? Tintor2 (talk) 21:10, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

On literalness

Hey Xexerss, thanks as always for the great work you do for the animanga project. This isn't a big deal, which I why I haven't brought it up before, but I wanted to drop a note so you don't think I've been ignoring your adjustments to article leads. I'm of the opinion that straightforward translations should not be called "literal".

Here are some examples where it's appropriate to call a translation literal. 1) When a title uses an everyday word in a different manner. A recent example is Small Nozomi and Big Yume, where the Japanese words in the title are names of characters, but have literal meanings as common Japanese words. 2) When a title uses an expression and the literal meaning is relevant. A made-up example: 馬の耳に念仏 idiomatically translated means "preaching to deaf ears", but literally means whispering the name of the Buddha in a horse's ear. So if a comedy manga had to do with Buddhism and horses, it might be relevant to surface that. 3) If the title isn't an accepted Japanese word. Sometimes you'll see a title that is a mishmash of different Chinese characters, but doesn't show up in any dictionaries. For example, here's something I threw together: 火蛙雷, "fire + frog + lightning". The standard way to translate this would be literally. (though a localizer might present it as "Salamander Bolt" or something else fancy)

In all other cases though, when a work doesn't have a localized title and we put an English equivalent in parenthesis, that is what the title means. The template {{Translation}} could maybe be used to make this explicit, but I've just been adding these in quote marks. Opencooper (talk) 09:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

@Opencooper: Hi. Thanks for pointing this out. Feel free to remove the template in case you don't find it appropriate. The only thing I think, from what I understand from Template:Literal translation, is that translations should be left only with single quotation marks ('...') and not with double ones (although I admit I am not entirely sure about this). Xexerss (talk) 09:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Hmm… If one is glossing (i.e. providing a short English equivalent for) a dictionary term, e.g. 長髪 'long hair', single quotes are indeed the style. But these are translations of titles. The first option might be italicizing the translation, but since these works haven't been published under this, I felt that might mislead. MOS:DOUBLE defaults to double quotes other than for glosses, so that's why I went with that. It doesn't seem clear-cut to me, but more a matter of style. I might have to see how other projects handle it for things like novels or films. Opencooper (talk) 09:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
@Opencooper: Sounds reasonable. Either option is fine with me for now. Xexerss (talk) 09:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
(talk page reader) @Opencooper: I read over this and was a little lost on what your original question was, so I'll answer from what i understand. I would suggest omitting literal translations for titles that do have an English title and only mentioning it when the English title is substantially different from the original text.
I would suggest not adding translations for works that do not have English-published titles and instead using lit. translations instead. Translations, in my opinion, provide less insight over titles, and more importantly, because the translation that you would add might be disputable because of several ways a text can be interpreted. This, however, would not be the case for literal translations; there would comparably be less friction over literal translations. For idioms, add a literal translation, and if notable, explain the idiom using a footnote. Lunar-akaunto／talk 15:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Frieren

Apologies for bringing this up a little late; I was out and only active for a little while for other discussions. Anyhow, is there any reason as to why we are adding a translation for the quote? WP:NOENG says to include a quote when there's a dispute over the contents but doesn't say anything about including a translation. I would say the translation is not really needed. I also understand your skepticism since this is the first one without categories, but that's what the source says, and I'm sure Natalie's very reliable. I already considered the disagreement and consequences before adding it, but i still proceeded because the ref. already existed.

That aside, let us not revert each other's edits and use articles' or our talk pages for discussion instead. This would save the article's history and also prevent any unnecessary tension between us. Of course, this does not include obvious typos or other errors, but when in doubt, please use the talk page; if appropriate, I am sure we'll reach a middle ground. Lunar-akaunto／talk 16:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

(EDIT: Since you have managed to successfully misinterpret this below, by this, I didn't mean let us have a discussion over every single thing we add; I specifically said not to revert. Me adding what I added was not a minor edit; you unjustly reverting it was not minor either. I didn't want to point it out specifically, so i put it this way. But have it your way, if you so prefer.) Lunar-akaunto／talk 17:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

@Lunar-akaunto: WP:NOENG says to include a quote when there's a dispute over the contents but doesn't say anything about including a translation.
Excuse me, but WP:NOENG explicitly states: If you quote a non-English reliable source (whether in the main text or in a footnote), a translation into English should accompany the quote, so why do you think it is not needed? If you're adding a piece of Japanese text in the English Wikipedia, are you assuming that readers will automatically know what said text says without having to use a translation machine? Xexerss (talk) 20:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Ohh. My bad, I only read the citing part. I thought that quote referred to when we literally quote something in running text, as when we quote a word or a sentence from a work, we always write rōmaji in lead, but a translation can be added, and that is what it refers to, or so I thought. Okay, not to WP:OTHERS, but this is literally the first time I've seen about including a translation for quotes. I've created some articles and was browsing wikiproject anime when i saw someone suggest including a translation for ref. titles, and they mentioned it is not necessary but helpful, something along those lines. So, I thought the same applied to quotes in references as well.
Nevermind with that. Why include a quote when we agree over the contents? Lunar-akaunto／talk 11:13, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: Right, it's not mandatory but helpful, and I think that's reason enough to leave it there. By the way, you were the one who added the quote in the first place (which is fine with me since the reference was used precisely for that part). Xexerss (talk) 11:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I did, but it was because you reverted, no? At the time, I added it because it'd be too troublesome to explain in the edit summary, but i think it's redundant now because it's in plain sight and not very complex either, so someone would miss it. Lunar-akaunto／talk 11:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: And before that, another user was adding a category in the table even when the sources literally state that there were no categories. If a quote directly extracted from the source somehow helps to prevent something like that from happening again, I don't see why it should be removed. I'd like to assume that stuff like this is "in plain sight and not very complex", but it seems that sometimes it's necessary to be a little more emphatic to avoid certain kinds of disruptive edits. Xexerss (talk) 11:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I see that. The current quote still only quotes abolishing the categories and doesn't quote anything about the categories were not divided, which the editor in question was adding. Now don't re-add the full quote like previously, because that'd be overkill because there's already an English source present stating the same. The editor in question added it even when a purely English source was present. So that's a whole different thing.
Think of it like this: I'm a random reader, and i see that statement. If i doubt it, I'd go to the source listed and cross-check it for myself. Now if i don't find it anywhere in the source, if it's just so that it's almost hidden, or maybe if the font or word arrangement is such that i read "this is a buck" as "this is a duck", that'd be a dispute. Not bothering to budge and reading it all is the reader bathing in laziness and not us being unemphatic. Don't you agree? Lunar-akaunto／talk 12:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: Look, I think this is getting excessively long (I don't want to repeat the Frieren's title translation situation). I just think the quote (and the translation) is helpful and makes things easier, however obvious it may seem to you, but whatever, remove it if that's what you want. I repeat, I think it is useful, but if we are going to have these long and weary discussions over every minor addition to the article, then I don't know what else to tell you. Xexerss (talk) 12:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Look, what do you mean by repeating Frieren's title translation situation? You wanted to initially use it as a ref. for the lit., and I opposed it. You started the discussion for it and later changed your statement to add it additionally and not use it as a reference, so it's not my fault that it was overly lengthy. By the way, we do not have discussions, long and weary at that, at every single minor or major addition to the article. This is literally the first regarding something so puny. Yes, you can check. Why do you make it sound like i do this every Sunday?
I understand what you said, and i was not here to rant about it; I just wanted to say that it was not necessary here since it was not exactly a dispute and discuss it. If i wanted to remove it, I would have already done it. We can't exactly go on quoting every single thing and providing a translation for it, right? Again, it can stay; I can live with it. I was just saying it as in pointing something out. Lunar-akaunto／talk 17:24, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
What do you think about the other thing i said? Lunar-akaunto／talk 11:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm sorry, what other thing do you mean? Xexerss (talk) 11:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
the revert thing. Lunar-akaunto／talk 12:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
One more thing—maybe unnecessary, but just for clarification, I respect that you trust the translation i provided. Now, what i say doesn't just apply to the current quote but to the frieren lit. i added before or any other translation for that matter; please know that what i say is correct to the best of my knowledge, but i may be wrong sometimes, so please take what i say with a grain of salt and, if possible, cross-check from any sources available to you to find any discrepancies. I only ever stepped into translations in the light of how user translations are preferred over machines', WP:TRANSCRIPTION, and WP:NOENG. Before i put my insight into translations, I try to cross-check it from wherever possible, but when appropriate, i also try to engage others who might know this better than me, such as here, here, etc.; it's a different story if that doesn't work, but i have done my part. Lunar-akaunto／talk 17:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Before i go, as i already said, this is the first time I've come to discuss something not very significant, but if in any way it was demeaning to you, my sincerest apologies; I'll let this be the last one. Do know that during my earliest time here there were times when, similar to some of these minor things occurred, and i thought not to speak many times because it really shouldn't matter, but it did spill trouble later. I've also seen the same happen elsewhere and learned that it's better to just say what you think and discuss it than not to. Please know that my desire to improve the project significantly outweighs my preferences and alike. I'll be off then. Good day. Lunar-akaunto／talk 17:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
@Lunar-akaunto: No problem. It may be the second discussion that we have on a topic of this nature, but given how long both became, I simply want to avoid this happening again next time. The topic it's not the big deal (although this entire discussion makes it seem as if it is). I just tried to explain my point but not to impose what I think, so if you want to remove the quote, go ahead, I will not revert your edit. I don't totally agree with you, but you've made a reasonable point and that's enough for me. Xexerss (talk) 21:12, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Just a heads up that what i said about it being for the coming years as well was indeed correct; I was able to confirm it from someone here on wiki. Do know that someone else might come tomorrow and change it, saying that the machine translation gives off something else; this is exactly what the ip user did for the lit. translation, if you remember. So, perhaps, what you were intending to do was add the quote to the talk page, with a translation reflecting how the machine translation is incorrect in this case. But it's your choice; it's probably fine as it is now. Lunar-akaunto／talk 15:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Four new articles to create for you

Hi @Xexerss, there are four respective new articles to create about four respective manga series, can you create them when you have time? They are The Yakuza's Bias by Teki Yatsuda, Wash It All Away (manga) by Mitsuru Hattori, Someone's Girlfriend by Nikumaru and Kawaii Kōhai ni Iwasaretai by Taku Kawamura.

Thanks. Tebus19 (talk) 23:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

@Tebus19: Alright. I'll try to create them soon. Xexerss (talk) 23:15, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 Partly done I can't find enough coverage for Kawaii Kōhai ni Iwasaretai at the moment. Xexerss (talk) 03:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
(talk page reader) There's an article at ja:かわいい後輩に言わされたい for it. If you want, you could use it as a reference; I think the coverage present there should be plenty. Lunar-akaunto／talk 15:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
