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)

Merry Christmas
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)

look closely in Korean dub her name was renamed as Yoon Ga-young

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)

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)

I can know how to license my images? --LuisYKW2

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)
