Welcome back
Welcome back Rowan! It's so nice to see you. Your hiatus sure was a long one :P How has your studies been? Going good? Also, any news on Serena? Is she doing good? Ryoga (talk) 11:34, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. I'm doing good, thank you. Hope you're doing good too :) And, I hope we do encounter each other more :D Ryoga (talk) 12:06, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Hyōga's absence
Hello! Welcome back to the wiki, and thanks very much for that. I'll definitely let you know if I need anyone to be blocked, heh, or if I have any other concerns and such. I'm Evan, by the way, or Shmevan if you like, it's a pleasure to meet you; I look forward to speaking in the future :) 03:05, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

A small question
Regarding this addition Rowan. The Viz translations might not always be available. In that case, can't the original Japanese scans be uploaded (excepting the title pages of course). After all, we are just illustrating a particular scene in the manga without the dialogues to avoid copyright claims, so I think both can be used. Ryoga (talk) 04:05, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

You will add  chapters

Manga Chapters
So Rowan, are you doing Chapter-pages now? While I appreciate the assistance, I felt like a lot of the edits you made to Chapter 12 were unnecessary. Granted there were some improved things, but I also felt that there was some other unneeded clutter with all the links and re-wording when it had been said in much simpler terms to begin with. I also appreciate you adding the navi-box, because Hyōga and yourself are the only ones capable of doing so, but the VIZ editions don't have official titles besides Volume 1, Volume 2, etc. Maybe the Japanese versions do, but I've been writing every article based on my VIZ edition of the manga. I don't know where "Family Matters" came from... I do know that is the header of the blurb on the back of the book, but I don't think that constitutes as a title. If you can provide some kind of assurance that the titles do exist in the English edition I can redact my complaint.

I don't want to get off on the wrong foot, as we've only just met, but since I joined the wiki the Chapter pages have been my main priority and most substantial contribution, and I just want to make sure that when all chapters are said and done their format is uniform.

Lastly, Hyōga said you used to be the person in charge of Chapter pages, and again, you're the admin and I am not, but if you're planning on continuing to work on the Chapter pages, I at least ask that you follow the format which I have instituted, because the previous format was not very efficient. See Chapters 280-240 ish for prime examples, but I have now put about 130 chapters into this format and plan to put them all into it at some point. I don't know if you own the Manga yourself or not, but most of all, please do not correct any quotes in the chapters which I have authored: they are most assuredly genuine. Hope I don't sound too despotic. Thanks and regards, HalberdBanryu (talk) 01:51, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

- Hey Rowan. I have an image for the Manga chapters that I think is better for the front page than the one that we currently have. I don't think the one with the band of seven is as practical, I found one that has all of the main characters. http://manga.animea.net/inuyasha-chapter-337-page-4.html And I would edit out the chapter page title. Let me know your thoughts, I know you just finished the layout but I don't think that Band-of-seven cover is the best choice. There are some other manga covers that could work other than the one I just linked, but let me know. Thanks, HalberdBanryu (talk) 20:42, December 21, 2013 (UTC)

Also when you click read more on the front page with the Manga-slide, it says the page does not exist, I think it's linked wrong. Just FYI. HalberdBanryu (talk) 20:47, December 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Featured images
Done :D 19:28, December 21, 2013 (UTC)

Manga Chapters
Hello Lenalia Row. I just made an edit to one of the manga chapters of InuYasha, chapter 350 where I took out the word 'wistfully' from describing Sesshomaru's look as he watches Kagura leave. "wistfully" means, 'sad or longing' and I have read the Manga many times and that he never once looked sad in that page, that is just the same look he always has. So I hope it was okay to change it. If you don't believe me look at the chapter yourself and be the judge. Thank you for your time. 98.110.191.245 17:14, December 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Rowan, Merry Christmas! :) I hope you have a great day and happy holidays. 18:46, December 25, 2013 (UTC)

Photos
I don't understand the photo thing like how do I licence it and all it's just so confusing please help.

Merry Christmas!
Hello, Rowan and Merry Christmas! I'd also like to take the opportunity to welcome you back, as well; I apologize for not welcoming you earlier, but as you know I've been having laptop problems and won't be back on a consistent basis for a few weeks. I want to congratulate you, however, on having the stomach to tackle the monstrously high number of images that we both know had to be deleted. I always wanted to, but it's such tedious work that I'd think better of it whenever I thought I had some free time. But my hat's off to you, I'm glad one of us finally sat down to it. Ever since Serena left, our images have sort of been languishing on the back-burner. The most I could bring myself to do was just patrol recent uploads and delete them if the uploaders failed to license them within 24 hours. Anyway, good job and thanks for coming back, your return was most opportune, considering my unfortunate technical difficulties. Enjoy your holidays!-- 02:24, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

Thank You :-)
I want to say thank you so much you are great I'm still new to this wiki and if I have any questions I will so come to you again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Re; Manga Images
Hey Rowan, sorry about that with the px sizes. Personally, I think that sometimes the Thumb size is too small and doesn't really portray the image in the best way possible, but if that's policy, oh well. In regards to the image names, I started making them absurdly long because for a while I named them "Chapter100" or just "100" and people kept uploading other new images and thus putting them on top of the ones I uploaded. It got rather annoying, so I decided to just name the chapter images so uniquely that they wouldn't be over-ridden. HalberdBanryu (talk) 09:03, December 27, 2013 (UTC)

Please have this image removd ASAP
This is another art taken from deviantart.com even if it was posted on tumblr. I have seen it before and I know that artists did not give approval about it being poste don this wikia site. I am also sure thy ear not even ware that their fan art has been posted here.

Re: Imagecat
Hi, Rowan. I do think that the new addition at the bottom of the infobox works very well, it is a lot easier to find than the imagecat that was located in the trivia section, so it will be simpler for users to find those image categories, which was our intent in making them in the first place. I do think that the phrasing, "The InuYasha wiki has 18 related images" is slightly ambiguous, but it isn't even really an issue because just clicking on the link clears up any confusion as to what the images are related to. So, there's my long winded response; I think it's a great addition :) 20:23, December 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have been wondering about the same thing for a while now; I feel like there is enough information about Musō to justify creating a new article just for him, though since we already have an article for Musō, the monk, that might start to get tricky. We would probably have to change the name of the monk's article to something like "Musō (monk)". I'm all for creating a new article for Musō, though. This very topic has actually been brought up in the Onigumo talk page, but no real discussion has been had. 01:23, December 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll go ahead and create the new Musō article right now :) 01:47, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

Way to go!
Just a little something I came up with :) I couldn't think of anything else to show my respect for your work here. Ryoga</b> (talk</b>) 05:58, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks :) But you do most of the tedious work around here :D
 * I really like the new categories you plan on creating, especially the "Events" category. We should've created that a long time ago, I think. I'd add "Samurai" to the Individuals by Profession category though (eg: Amari Nobunaga). The reference guide is pretty solid, but I think it'd be good to note that things like character similarity or author comment in the Trivia sections must be referenced too. It's my suggestion btw, we can discuss that with the other members before implementing it. Ryoga</b> (talk</b>) 11:10, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

Character Slider Image
Hey Rowan. The picture we have as the character slider isn't High-definition, but I found a version of the picture that is. http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=big&illust_id=25622286 You have to have a pixiv account to save it, I have one and I can do that, but I can't find the image we currently have so I can replace it. I've searched all over the wiki for it. How do I find it? >_>  HalberdBanryu (talk) 02:54, January 2, 2014 (UTC) Nevermind, I was being retarded. >_> FOUND IT HalberdBanryu (talk) 02:56, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Input
Hi Row, I apologize for the delay in my response. As you said, we'll have a daimyō-kai sooner or later, and we can discuss this more in-depth then, so I'll try to be brief here. I do very much like your new categorization proposal; in general I think it's a great idea to keep everything in our articles in an *in-universe point of view*. Phrases such as "this happened in the series" or "in InuYasha Naraku is the main antagonist" and so on and so forth, have out of universe perspectives. You're right, having a category for "characters" does indicate that it is a fictional universe, and I agree that individuals would be a better choice. I'm also strongly in favor of adding better referencing. I won't go into too much detail just yet but I do feel that we are lacking references in articles that need more of them, and in some articles there aren't even any references at all. Anyway, great job in bringing these issues to light and all of the improvements you've been making recently :) I look forward to getting deeper into this at the next daimyō-kai. 03:04, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Images Bleh
Hey Rowan, this will get a bit chaotic, but I'm cleaning up after my past mistakes as well as mistakes other users have made on chapter images. From now every Manga chapter image will be entitled InuyashaChapter#BriefDescription. So I'd like you to delete a few images for me if you would, then I will re-upload better quality ones with more appropriate names. This isn't all of the images I need deleted, but I don't want you to delete any others just yet. Cool? :3

HalberdBanryu (talk) 20:50, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, super duper. I think that's all of them, there are a few from before my time that I'd probably just want deleted, but if I stumble upon any others, I'll let you know. Thanks again! HalberdBanryu (talk) 03:29, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

By the time you see this the problem may have resolved itself, but what's with my images on this page? ._. They're acting weird but when you click on them they're fine. HalberdBanryu (talk) 22:44, January 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * http://inuyasha.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_364


 * Really? ._. it hasn't fixed itself on my end yet. I still don't see the image. Maybe it'll fix itself soon enough. A few other images on the wiki are doing the same thing. And yes, I'll be able to make it regardless, but I'm just very very confused on the timing. Friday/Saturday January 17/18, 2014 @ 09:30PM(EST)/02:30AM(UTC.) @_@ Friday or Saturday? I'm in USA Central time CST. So for me it would be at 8:30 on Friday the 17th? I just want to make sure I'm not mucking up the time here... HalberdBanryu (talk) 03:52, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

The OSTs
Should we do something about the individual tracks? I've seen many wikis which have articles on the most notable tracks from the albums (in InuYasha's case, it could be "Omoi no Hate ni", the character themes, and a few other bgms). What do you think? Ryoga</b> (talk</b>) 11:23, January 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, we should discuss them in the next meeting. We can think of creating them after that :) Thanks Rowan! Ryoga</b> (talk</b>) 04:20, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

Re; Chapter Infobox
Okay. 1. Am I going to have to go through every chapter and redo the source material so that this new info-box shows up, or will it fit into the old version without us having to do anything to every chapter page? I'd be willing to do it myself, but I just want to know if that'll be necessary.

2. Personally, I think it should always have the piece/scroll number.

3. I like how you have the scroll one image "The accursed youth", and it would be ideal for every chapter to have that type of coverpage.Unfortunately, I have spent a long time scouring the internet's Inuyasha scans and that kind of coverpage doesn't exist for certain parts of the manga; all of the scans for the second half of the manga usually say "Chapter 336: Title whatever" or "Part 14" if it's from a Viz Big. None of them say "Scroll #: Title whatever", which is truly what they should all say... Again, I'd like conformity... So that creates a problem. It's up to you, but you will never find a scan that has "Scroll #" for every single chapter, unfortunately. :/

4. "Corresponding" is cool. What about chapters that are Manga only and have no corresponding? Just put down N/A? Also some chapters overlap episodes. Ryuukotsusei and Tsubaki appear in the same Chapter; their arcs overlap. Does your format allow for two episodes to appear in corresponding?

HalberdBanryu (talk) 18:59, January 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a plan! Yes, this helps very much so! By the way, all of the VIZ editions use Scroll#, it's just that you can't find chapters titled like that for some of the arcs >_>. And for some of them it's possible to blank the text, but like on #1 it blends into the art so that's not possible. We'll see what we can do. For a lot of the later ones it's off far away from the art to make translation easier. HalberdBanryu (talk) 21:10, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

Re; Rin
Not to my knowledge, no. There's a little moment between Doctor Suikotsu and Rin during the Bo7 arc that they didn't do in the anime, but there isn't like a "filler"  manga chapter revolving around her. She's one of the characters who gets wayyyy more developed in the anime than in the manga. You're pretty much good to just use her persona from the Anime; it mirrors the manga pretty perfectly. :3 HalberdBanryu (talk) 16:39, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

I think I can make it Rowan. Sounds good. :) Ryoga</b> (talk</b>) 05:58, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

About location infobox
Emmm, I just wondering that you forgot to add the debut section into location infobox or what. Like character infobox it has debut section and it's better to let the readers know. but location infobox doesn't have this yet. So are you planning to add the debut section into it?

User:InuGami and sockpuppeteering
Hi there Rowan. While you were away, a user named InuGami (who previously went by the name RinxXxSessh) edited the Rin and Sesshomaru articles and I always felt she was biased when it came to the relationship they had. She supposedly "gave up" on editing and has never made a modification to the article using the account since her announcement. However, I've spotted some IPs with editing pattern very similar to that of hers. If you compare their talk page comments: ''they had to work together to find the pieces, complete the jewel and put it back together right? I am just curious is all. vs I am just curious and thought I should ask the expert is all.''. Don't you think she is sockpuppeteering. I once caught her and warned her, but she didn't admit that she was editing anonymously. I gave up because I had no solid proof. What do you think Rowan? Ryoga</b> (talk</b>) 04:49, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Here's another such talk page comment. I mentioned it to Hyoga :) And another strange thing happened: check this out. I guess we don't have anything else to prove they're the same, plus like you said she hasn't made any counter productive edit. I'll be keeping my eyes open for any such edit though :) Ryoga</b> (talk</b>) 10:51, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

What is going on?
What is going on here huh? I just got a link sent to me by a friend that on InuYasha wikia page telling me that Ryoga was accusing me of "sockpuppertering" or something like that anonymously? I never did that and like he said he has no proof it but wasn't doing it. It was probably some friends of mine online who I was talking too about the issues on the wikia page we were having a while back about another user we were having troubles with who was doing more damage than I was. For all I know it was another friend I was talking to last night who came on and asked Sango the same question. I am not the only person in the world with the same opionon. This is why I stopped editing this wikia because I am getting tired of getting falsely accused. Have a good day Row. InuGami (talk) 13:37, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Get this straightened out
I really want to get this whole mess straightened out. I am a GOOD friend of InuGami OFF of the wikia page and last night on another site that I won't say the name of we were talking about the difference between InuYasha manga and anime. InuGami mentioned that she had an account here on wikia but hasn't been on for a while because of all the mess that has been going on with the website. We started talking about the last chapter and episode and she started talking about Rin living in the village and one day been giving the choice to one day rejoin Sesshomaru. She said she didn't want to ask anymore questions about it because it was past news but I was curious is all and I do remember the user Sango once saying she was an expert on the Manga so I came on last night and I asked Sango the question not InuGami. I can see what InuGami is talking about. Seriously, because I asked something in a similar manner this other person is going to accuse InuGami? What kind of people do you have on this site? Well, I want to ask you a question but I am afraid I might get someone else wrongfully accused. As I said I am good friends with InuGami and we share the same opinon on things on certain subjects. You have a nice day now. --173.76.210.86 14:35, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Please stop. You don't have to get all emotional. I was just stating some things I found strange. And wow, you are giving up on editing the wiki because of me? I've been accused of sockpuppeteering on Wikipedia, another huge community. I didn't give up. If you are innocent, you don't have to get all mad. Well then, let me note down some things:
 * How do you explain the IP editor, or your friend, having the same editing pattern and writing style as you? It may be a coincidence. And you are telling me friend sent emails to you notifying you of the things I was talking about you here?
 * Btw, I am not an administrator and trust me, if I were one too, I'd never block someone unless their edits are counter-productive. Yours are not. So why bother about some message I left on Rowan's talk page? I just discussed some suspicious edits with Rowan, the administrator. And I never accused you of making changes to Rin or Sesshomaru's page. I would never tell anything like that to anyone. This is a wiki and everyone is free to edit articles as they like, provided they stick to the rules. If I were you, I'd just talk things out rather than throw rants. <b style="color:#30C">Ryoga</b> (<b style="color:#039">talk</b>) 14:58, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Rowan, if you think I'm being a nuisance, feel free to block me. I know I haven't done anything wrong btw. <b style="color:#30C">Ryoga</b> (<b style="color:#039">talk</b>) 14:58, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd like to apologize to you too Row-chan. I didn't mean to disrupt the wiki's functioning. <b style="color:#30C">Ryoga</b> (<b style="color:#039">talk</b>) 15:16, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Look I don't want to start fights either but you accused a good friend of mine and me of sockpupperting just because our writing styles are somewhat similar that's not right. Before you posted your comment to Row you should have just gone onto InuGami's talk page and just asked her out of respect if she was posting comments anonymously. Also, Just from how you are wording it in your comment you still think that I am InuGami and that isn't right. What changes to Rin and Sesshomaru's page? I never made any. And just like you said, it's a free page meaning that I can come on anytime I want to. I use to browse the wikia page a lot but real-life got in the way and I left for a while. Also as you said our writing style is by concidence okay but from what I have seen on other fanfiction pages some people do share similar writing styles I've seen it a few times especially two different authors if they share the same ideas and opinons. That is all it is, I came on early this morning because last night InuGami told me that Rowan Swalzer under a new name was back and so I just came to see if anything new and interesting was on her talk page worth discussing and that's when I saw your little topic to her about InuGami and I felt my friend should know. She hasn't been on for months and doesn't do much editing anymore since that incident with another user it just wasn't fun to her anymore. I just made the post that one time. For all we know, someone else went onto her talk page or some of the others and copied her discussions or questions and reposted them, it can happen. The reason I want to leave is because if my friend and I share similar styles of writing that closely. It's best that one of us stays away since I don't want to cause trouble for either of us or this wikia page. --173.76.210.86 15:33, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * (ec) It's not the first time your friend has had this argument with me: I was being very respectful there. This is the first time I've acted a bit harsh to anyone. I've also cautioned InuGami against editing without logging in or editing after clearing the cache. You should read through the discussion before posting bad things about me (and calling me a jerk). I won't call you anything though, because like I said, I hate getting into fights. I should let you know IP editor, I've had experiences with CheckUser results on Wikipedia. Stating the facts is a rule every Wikian should follow. We need sources for everything. Anyway, I'd like to apologize if I hurt you. Really sorry. I won't bother you again. <b style="color:#30C">Ryoga</b> (<b style="color:#039">talk</b>) 15:54, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Got your message
I just got your message and thank you for the sweet comment back. But don't just apologize to me, InuGami was also probably hurt here too. Maybe I should just keep quiet about my opinons since my friend and I share the same opinons and questions on certain matters. That is unless I can just ask one more question to you about a topic on Rin's page and after that I promise to drop it as I don't want to cause anymore trouble for me, my friend or anyone else here on the wikia page. So can I? --173.76.210.86 15:06, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Okay
Now I see why the comments were coming out like they were.

Okay, I just want to get one more thing clear too. Me and InuGami do share similar writing styles in ways so I am sorry if that causes great confusion between us both. Also I just told Ryoga the same thing and also I just feel that he should have asked InuGami first out of respect if she was posting things anonymously before he posted that topic about sockpuppetering. I will think about opening a account here I have lots on my plate right now to get involved with wikia right now. Well, it's just I noticed in the *Later Year* section where she went to live with Kaede in the village you took out the part where she would later be given the choice to one day rejoin Sesshomaru or continue living in a human village I am sorry to just ask but will she still be given that choice later on in life?

Also, I actually found out from an anonymous source elsewhere that on the actual Rumiko Takashi webpage that it was in fact Sesshomaru's idea for her to stay in a human village for a while and not Kaede's and he asked Kaede to take her in and get her recustom to live among humans. If you think about it that makes perfect sense since she would have been reluctant to do so if Kaede suggested it. I don't know if that can be applied since the anime has it saying it was all Kaede's idea.

And, Rin also showed a fear of wolves only in the anime of that one filler episode so it's unknown if she feels the same way about them in the manga as well. I am not sure if that should go into the trivia or not.

Thank you Row. --173.76.210.86 16:06, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
