Re:How can I help?
Pretty much any article can be improved, but we do have a lot of underdeveloped character articles. If you're looking for a project, I would go through the stub category and look for something (or someone) that interests you.--Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 01:02, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Izayoi
Not at all. We have no evidence that Sesshōmaru even met Izayoi, so it doesn't make sense to have an entry for her in his relationships section. Feel free to remove it.--Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 03:39, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Relationships
I think it depends. Miroku and Sango barely interact with Naraku, for instance. I think that a section might be warranted, though only a small one. Sango's brother is under Naraku's control and her entire family/village was killed by him as well. Miroku's hand is cursed because of Naraku, and he continues a quest to defeat Naraku that consumed both his father and grandfather. Obviously these two have a lot of Naraku-related issues that deserve some mention in relationships. However, there are a lot of other characters who hate Naraku, from Jaken to Tekkei, that don't interact with him enough to constitute a "relationship" per se. So I think it just depends on who it is; take it on a case by case basis. As far as Naraku's relationship section goes, everything seems to be fine, although Magatsuhi doesn't really need to be mentioned, and the "foil to Inuyasha" bit should just be merged with the section on Inuyasha. I don't know which parts of the relationship section you did, but I looked at it as a whole and those were the only problems I could see.--Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 23:54, November 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I'm here to help. Although, if you're asking me something so soon after asking me a different question, you can just ask it under the same heading; you don't have to create a new section for it. As to your actual question, my understanding (I don't deal with chapter pages, so I'm not the one who created the layout, nor have I ever had to use it before) is that the synopsis is just brief bullet points, where as the summary is more in-depth. You only need to link anything that can or should be linked once per section. If a term appears multiple times in the summary, for instance, just link it the first time. However, since the synopsis is a different section from the summary, any term that appears there for the first time in that section must also be linked. This is just for the convenience of readers, so they don't have to scroll back up to previous sections to click on a link if they need to. You don't have to repeat the process for subsections though (anything with "===Title===" is a subsection, as opposed to "==Title==", which is a regular section heading). Let me know if you need any clarification, I can understand that my explanation might not have been clear. :P --Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 03:43, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * A couple things first. You keep leaving these "===" on my talk page. Make sure you just edit an existing section, since I consider this all part of one conversation. Also, don't forget to sign your name with four tildes (" ~ "). The categories can be change through visual mode; as of yet, that's the only way I know of to edit them, apart from editing the category section on the page itself (though this only goes for adding categories). Make sure that any categories you add are pre-existing categories. Site policy dicatates that all new categories must first be approved by an administrator before being created; so if you want to add a category of your own invention, just run it by me first. We do this as a check on people who create a bunch of junk or unnecessary categories. Otherwise feel free to add any category that already exists and is applicable to the page in question.--Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 01:50, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I've replied to your query on Suzaku's talk page. Hope it's okay :) Ryoga Godai (talk)  03:47, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

If you want to change the format, I suppose you could just tell me what you had in mind, and if I think it's okay, I'll give you the go-ahead.--Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 05:03, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd prefer consistency, so please only create new pages according to the pre-established layout formats, until we decide to change them. That being said, if you could show me a page that's been organized the way you want, so I have an example of what you're talking about; then I'd be able to determine for certain whether or not the way that you've described is more or efficient or not.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 21:56, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand, but policy is policy, and, for me, it'd be really irresponsible as an administrator to let someone willfully ignore the established layout guidelines; everything should be the same and standardized. It's better to just try and change the rules than break them in the meantime. All that is a little moot, though, since I do think your way is better, anyway; after looking at the example, it looks a lot cleaner and simpler. I always thought the earlier version was kind of weird anyway. So please go ahead and continue with your work on the chapter pages. Please let me know about any questions or problems that you may run up on in the future, if any.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 03:37, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes; since the real titles are in Japanese, we can translate them according to our own methods. And the accent marks are in keeping with this site's translation/romanization policies.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 21:44, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I think putting the chapter's title page is a good idea, obviously. Also, as you guess, putting lots of information about new characters would be redundant, since that's what character pages are for. A sentence or two would probably suffice, like, "Kagome and Inuyasha meet a perverted monk named Miroku, who has a powerful vortex in his hand, called the Kazaana." Something like that. I do have a few things to point out about the format, though. I don't know if you've seen this, but a note/trivia section should be added in whenever possible. Also, since we're getting rid of the brief points, I think you should still add some sort of extremely brief summary in the intro. Sort of like what is done with our larger character pages. That way someone doesn't have to read the whole article to know what the gist was. Lastly, I don't think you should put scroll boxes where there aren't enough characters to actually make it scroll. This is an example. And I don't require any assistance with Ryūra, I always do these articles by myself; though after I'm done, feel free to read through it for spelling errors. I often leave many of them behind, haha. Thanks for the offer.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 17:23, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Anything that could be considered "fun facts" like anime/manga differences, etc. can go in the trivia section. As for the image thing, I would hold off on that, since the chapter infobox isn't really shaped correctly for rectangular images, like the others are. I'll have to work on it at some point in the future; since I'm not an expert on code it may take me awhile.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 18:56, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Frustration
Well, firstly I think it's good not to get too possessive over articles. There shouldn't be any feelings of "beating" somebody else to the "punch." This is a free site for everyone to use and edit. That being said, we've had issues with Jinie in the past and have asked her not to make bad edits. She has trouble with English, so this is a persistant issue. Have you attempted to talk with her yourself? I'm sure if you just asked her not to work on the chapter pages, since it's just creating more work for you, and are polite about it, she'll stop on her own.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 19:29, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Help
can i help you for writing for first half of chapters by --Jinierules (talk) 02:32, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Manga Chapters Dilemma
I would go for the red links first; some detail is better than no detail. While I like our content to be quality content, completeness is ultimately what we strive for in every aspect of what we do here. Please do whichever you feel would be the best use of your time, however. If you prefer to expand existing articles rather than create them from scratch, feel free. I just think that having something down for those chapters is better than having 100% down for half, and 0% down for the other half. It's up to you, though if you absolutely want to know what's best for the wiki, filling in red links would be it.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 03:37, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, thanks man. I do really like the soundtracks by Kaoru Wada, probably even more so than the opening/ending themes.

As far as your proposal, I would be interested. I wouldn't mind being kind of a "spell check" after you write/re-write a chapter. So just let me know whenever you've written a new chapter that you would like for me to take a look at (or I could probably just check it out in the wiki activity). Thanks dude; we'll speak again in the near future!

Super Shmevan (talk) 20:18, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Haha, I actually have seen it now! When I wrote in my profile I hadn't gotten the first part of Final Act yet, but I have gotten it since then. And yes! I watched the second part on Hulu with English subtitles and it was great; I can't wait for part 2 to come out, I think it'll be released on like February 12. What did you think of The Final Act overall? It might be my favorite season.

Super Shmevan (talk) 22:40, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

That is a good point, it's really hard to pick a favorite because I pretty much loved each season equally as well. Yeah, I'm not really sure why David Kaye didn't return in The Final Act and that was a little bit disappointing. The new voice actor (Michael Daingerfield?) didn't do a bad job or anything but it was still never quite the same. I would say the same thing about Kagome, I was having a hard time getting used to her new voice actress too.

Super Shmevan (talk) 23:09, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I kinda figured that she wasn't many people's favorite character; I actually quite like her though. And yeah I know that the manga and anime weren't exactly the same. I haven't read the manga but I bet like with all of the filler and stuff like that there's probably more in the anime that was not present in the manga.

Super Shmevan (talk) 23:54, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

I like just about all of the filler actually, and yeah those panther tribe episodes were particularly awesome, I liked how much it involved Sesshomaru. I really like the ones with Hoshiyomi and the ninja demons too. Luckilly there aren't too many filler episodes in InuYasha so it doesn't really affect the overall plot of the show. I see you're a fan of Bankotsu, I love him too. He's one of my favorite characters really; I liked the whole Band of Seven arc a lot, most of the members were really cool characters.

Super Shmevan (talk) 04:17, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah you make a good point about Chokyukai, that wasn't a great filler episode. About the only thing that I liked about it was the fact that his little monkey minion was named "Son Goku" and I really like Dragon Ball. But I would agree that a lot of filler is pretty pointless, mostly because it isn't in the original manga and I bet the people in charge of the anime don't want to create any episodes that would change the story or anything. Haha, that's awesome that they showed Bankotsu in action in the manga; just a side question about the manga, is it a lot more graphic and profane than the anime? I think I've read a few chapters of the manga and from what I've seen there is quite a bit more profanity (mostly coming from Inuyasha) in the manga. I agree about Jakotsu too! He's probably my second favorite member of the Band of Seven and his sword was really cool. I thought it was interesting that he was made to be homosexual. I thought Suikotsu and Renkotsu were really cool too; Suikotsu because of his split personality (by the way, his evil form was basically Wolverine, right?) and Renkotsu because he was so cunning and thoughtful and I think the Band of Seven's manner of resurrection really changed him and made him want to cling to life at all costs, considering they were all basically dead already.

Super Shmevan (talk) 05:51, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Heh, yeah I thought the manga was probably more violent based on what I've seen. I'm pretty sure what I have read are like manga scans, that's funny that they've added curse words that aren't actually there in the original. I have read that there is nudity in the manga too; like in the manga Mistress Centipede's nipples are visible while in the anime they aren't, isn't that the case? That is true about Renkotsu, I think he seemed like the most villainous of all of the Band of Seven (obviously, they're all pretty villainous considering that they're psychopathic killers). He was the only one who was openly going against Bankotsu's wishes and was really only looking out for himself; I can see how he would be an unlikable character, mostly because he killed Jakotsu. What do you think of the Inuyasha movies?

Super Shmevan (talk) 03:58, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

I love all four of the movies too; I would say that my favorites are the 3rd and 4th too, though I still can't decide which is my favorite out of the two. I like the 3rd movie a lot because the Inu no Taishō appears, and even though he appears rather briefly he sure does make an impact. I loved when he used the Wind Scar so effectively; he's definitely one of the coolest (if not the coolest) character to appear in the series. And yeah the Sō’unga was really awesome, its power was amazing; and of course the fact that Sesshōmaru was so involved just made it that much better. The 4th was really awesome as well; the four water gods were really cool characters and I loved all of those half-demons who were introduced; half-demons look really cool, ha. I would also agree with you about the 2nd movie, it was probably my least favorite. I still really enjoyed it, and it's a bit surprising that it is my least favorite because it's the only movie that Naraku or his incarnations appear (and I love Naraku); I guess Kaguya didn't really do it for me.

Super Shmevan (talk) 05:04, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

I thought Menōmaru was pretty cool too, especially when he became Hyōga, heh. But yeah it really didn't help that Sesshōmaru played such a minor role in the first movie, and he had a pretty random encounter with Kikyō and I'm pretty sure that is the only time that they've actually spoken. I love Kōga! He was so strong/fast, probably because of the jewel shards he had in his legs; I'd say he was one of the strongest demons in the show. I'm pretty disappointed that they never showed him in his full demon form, only in his humanoid form. I bet he would have looked awesome as a giant wolf demon. Haha, that's funny that he used his sword in the manga, I don't think he used it during the anime? I totally forgot that he even had a sword until you said that. Oh and yeah dude for sure, I'll take a look at those chapters and make any edits that are needed. Let me know whenever there is anything else you'd like me to review for you.

Super Shmevan (talk) 05:38, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

That's true, they just about acknowledge each others existence when Suikotsu died, well almost anyway. And no problem, really I didn't see any major mistakes in the articles I just reworded a few sentences, and a few typos here and there is to be expected with anything. But yeah I'll get to the others as soon as I can to make similar edits. So far I've been pretty impressed with each chapter article that I've looked at

Super Shmevan (talk) 21:13, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, ya know, I have seen a lot of chapter articles that have been similar to that and I would agree that they are inadequate and need some work; but there are like over 500 chapters in the manga so it's gonna take some time for all of them to look perfect. But really, I've seen a lot of articles on this wiki, whether they're manga chapters or otherwise, that have looked unfinished. And I totally know what you mean by how much mental energy is used when creating/editing these articles; that's pretty much why I don't edit every article in a day, sometimes I have an edit overload and I just need to take a break from it from time to time.

Super Shmevan (talk) 07:11, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah it really is draining having to create a brand new article and having to fill it with good content. Haha, those are pretty early ones! The soul piper and Mayu are before Naraku is even introduced I think. I had forgotten that after Sesshomaru's first appearance he doesn't come back for a really long time..I'm not even certain of when his second appearance was... was it when Naraku gave him all of those different arms to use in battle against Inuyasha? I like the Thunder Brothers episodes a lot too, I think that episode where they and Shippo were first introduced was like the first episode that I ever saw, heh. I really liked that filler episode with the Thunder sister, Soten, too.

Super Shmevan (talk) 04:19, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Haha, Miroku is hilarious. One of my favorite Miroku moments was when he and Sango were alone on Mount Hakurei and they were like searching around for something and his lecherous thoughts have been purified but he's trying really really hard to touch her butt, basically like it's something he wants more than anything he has ever wanted in his entire life; it really cracks me up. I've looked at most of the chapter articles you asked me to and they've all been really good, I've only really had to make small edits on the articles.

Super Shmevan (talk) 04:41, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, you got it, man. I looked at them and there wasn't really all that much I had to clean up; you did a good job on both. I liked that line about the "over-the-top anime fall" because I always see that and note how strange and funny it is; I bet characters fall like that in almost every anime. By the way, I'm glad to see that you're back here editing again :) Super Shmevan (talk) 21:12, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Ehh yeah, I know how that is. School can be a real pain, ya know? And yeah, I suppose I have kind of made the episode articles one of my main projects, but there's still so much I have to do! Rarely any of the episode pages follow the format that they're supposed to and there are still a lot that don't even have infoboxes, or are stubs with like a sentence or two. Honestly it seems to me that there is still a lot of work to be done on this wiki and there's only a few of us who have been editing here regularly lately. And I see that you still have lots of chapters to get through as well D: it's enough to make your head explode!

Super Shmevan (talk) 21:27, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. InuYasha (and The Final Act) have been off the air and finished for what seems like an eternity, so people might have just forgotten about it, or are just focusing on other animes that are still coming out with new material, like you said. That's probably the main reason why this wikia is like a ghost town at times. And I guess the fact that we're so few in number is partially why there have been so many spelling and grammatical errors; there are so many anonymous contributors who... contribute here without really worrying about their spelling or if they vandalize an article or something. Oh well, it looks like it's up to us to protect this wikia and such, Kikyō won't be able to help us this time around.

Super Shmevan (talk) 20:02, April 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'll take a look at them right now broski! Super Shmevan (talk) 02:04, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I looked them over for ya, and they were really well written! There were little to no typos and I found that the main thing I was changing was the capitalization of words such as anime, manga and monk. Truthfully, I don't see much wrong with those words being capitalized I just don't really think that they're proper nouns as such. By the way, how has summer been treating you? Super Shmevan (talk) 02:54, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Well super special awesome sounds fantastic! :D Yeah, June kinda does fly by, for me anyway, and then you're already halfway done with summer :( My summer has been pretty swell so far, I've just been trying to relax before returning to the stressfulness of school and such. Recently I've actually started watching Bleach for the first time and so far I really like it. Super Shmevan (talk) 05:19, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a lot different than InuYasha. Its got some cool stuff but I definitely still love InuYasha way more. Oh, by the way, that Thunder Bros page that you just created, did you mean to add that to the talk page of the Thunder Brothers article? Super Shmevan (talk) 04:12, July 9, 2013 (UTC)

It's daimyō-kai silly! Not daiyōkai... :P And yes, as soon as we get a date down we can start planning for it. I have not heard from Wikia Staff, although I have tried contacting them about the bureaucrat issue. From my point of view, Rowan is still on hiatus, despite the one week she was back. Ironically I was on hiatus when she came back. XD But anyway, yeah, I don't know, but this disputing articles thing has been going on all week and Fast Moon-san keeps accusing me of being a bad administrator. I hope she calms down and realizes that she needs to pick her battles more tactfully. ~(._.)~ --<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 03:27, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Daimyō-kai
Hi! We're planning on having a daimyō-kai next week, preferrably at 10PM (EST) on Friday, May 10. Would this be something you could attend?--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 23:18, May 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Great! I'll update the community messages.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 21:21, May 9, 2013 (UTC):

I wanted to let you know that I may be traveling unexpectedly and will not be able to attend our continuation of last night's daimyo-kai. So I think we should postpone it until further notice.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 12:40, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Quotes
I've wondered what to do about quote sourcing; it's not very aesthetic to source each individual one, but I suppose if you wanted to, that's what you'd have to do, just use the normal ref coding. As for the signature, I just add font code to my preferences in the custom signature box.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 02:10, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Navi-boxes
I'm not sure I understand your question. Volumes only include 8 chapters at a time, so it would be impossible to group them by tens. I'm not sure why we have that rule about only high quality articles get the naviboxes, but I personally don't like it. However, I do think it's a good idea to get administrator consent before creating new naviboxes, since, just like categories, if we don't have that kind of restriction things can get out of hand. With that said, if you want to create volume naviboxes for the manga chapters along the lines of Template:Vol1, feel free to do so. And yes, any article can be a featured article, so long as it meets the requirements.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 00:44, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

 * Oh, I don't read the manga, so I thought they'd all have the same number of chapters as the first volume. Anyway, feel free to add the templates to chapter pages even if they aren't "high quality."--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 02:11, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

Images
Hi, please go through all the images you've uploaded and make sure they've been properly licensed as per our image policy. A fair use rationale would also be helpful, though it is not explicitly required. This image also needs to have the black bars on the side removed in order to conform with our quality standards. Thank you.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 18:44, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem; I never noticed before now, otherwise I would have reminded you sooner. Most unlicensed images that are uploaded are usually deleted if they aren't fixed within a day or two, but since I haven't been keeping up with your uploads, I'll give you a little longer, especially since I don't know how many there are and it might take some time for you to go back and check.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 23:56, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Featured article nomination

 * After looking at the Fairy Tail Wiki, I see that their chapter pages are not referenced either, so I will concede the point to the layout guidelines that Serena put in place. On the other hand, while I can understand that making every chapter page thoroughly detailed would be taxing, no one is saying that this has to be the case. I'm simply saying that if you want one to be featured on the main page, it needs to meet the required criteria. I understand that meeting the featured article standards (which are necessarily stringent) may seem daunting, but it is essential that our featured articles be of the highest quality possible. I have been considering establishing a good or comprehensive articles system whose standards are easier to meet, but, given our small contributor base, I have not been convinced of the utility of doing so. I will strike the portion of my objection dealing with the references, but the rest will remain.--<font color="#E30022">Suzaku 朱雀 <font color="#F77F00">Maze Castle 13:20, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Images for the Manga pages
I literally have no idea. The Fairy Tail Wiki uses scans (I think) from the original tankobon-format manga, but obviously those are extremely hard to come by. I'm not sure what you've been using up until now, or what has been used for those volumes in the past, but I'm not really sure what to say. Neither option seems ideal. Perhaps you should open up a forum?--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 05:04, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. I've been trying figure out why your talk page has been categorized as a stub, and it turns out it was because I posted this a long time ago. Rofl. I forgot to put a colon in front of "Category," but now it's fixed. Sorry! XD --<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 05:11, July 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * I know! Why don't you just flip the image? If there's text, that should probably just be whited out anyway.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 06:16, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * I uploaded a new version with the changes I suggested, just so we could compare them.  (The image can always be reverted back, and I didn't want to upload a whole new file just for comparison purposes, since this way works just as well.) I don't think the quality is lost by whiting out the text, since the whited out parts aren't visible or distinguishable from the rest of the bubble. And the image looks better facing the right way, especially since this is a well known scene and it matches up with the way they were facing in the anime.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 08:26, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Guys, sorry for butting in. Removing the text from speech bubbles is a good thing imo. Scanlations are actually copyright violations, even if they're licensed as fair use. Removing the text ensures we stick to the fair use criteria, atleast until Wikia changes rules... Or, we'd have to use the original Viz/Shogakukan scans. That way we wouldn't have to remove the text. <b style="color:#30C">Ryoga</b> (<b style="color:#039">talk</b>) 12:52, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think that's why FT Wiki whites there's out. If that's the case, though, then whiting out definitely needs to be mandatory. For the Naraku image, I just cut the text out, HB (MS Paint works fine for something this simple). I thought about what would happen to sound effects, but if we take into effect "canon", then having the characters facing the right way should take precedence over the sound effects being out of whack. That's my opinion anyway. It'll look awkward, but isn't that noticeable.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 17:26, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

If the image's from a purchased copy of the manga, we can be sure it's okay to use. Viz's first edition was flipped, now I remember. In that case, why don't we reflip it using Photoshop or something? Would it look awkward? Or, like I said, we could use the raw scans (which can be found on some Japanese website) and remove the text. <b style="color:#30C">Ryoga</b> (<b style="color:#039">talk</b>) 03:50, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what we've been discussing. I've suggested flipping the Viz images, although there is the issue of sound effects appearing backwards if this is done, but I'm not sure that's necessarily a big problem.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 18:10, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sound effects getting reversed is a problem imo. The pictures would look awkward. Sorry if I'm missing something here, the first edition scans are good the way they are, aren't they? Except for right hand appearing to be left and other similar issues... <b style="color:#30C">Ryoga</b> (<b style="color:#039">talk</b>) 05:59, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, case-by-case basis is a sloppy way to conduct image policy, and I would prefer consistency. The only problem is sound effects, but there shouldn't be too many instances of that. I haven't read the manga in a while so I can't remember how often sound effects are shown. Otherwise, I would just suggest to avoid using images where flipping them would have a mirroring effect on the sound effects.

As for the quoting issue, the reason they aren't combining sources is because you aren't using a reference name. The code as you've input it reads as, when it should read like this. And as I've mentioned, I don't find that sourcing quotes in the quote section is particularly aesthetic, so I feel like we're going to have to find another solution, because referencing them in this fashion makes the quote section look really cluttered.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 03:32, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

The second one looks okay, but it does seem a little lop-sided. Anyway, it would have to pass a vote to get featured on the main page.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 16:45, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Quotes
Just to let you know, the two quotes you removed from Koga's article were real quotes. The first he said in "Koga and Sesshomaru: A Dangerous Encounter" when Kagome gave him a bag of chips. The second quote was from when Koga first fought Jakotsu. But that was just an fyi, as those quotes are both super-irrelevant and it was good that you removed them. I just didn't want you thinking that he never said those things.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 02:37, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hello HalberdBanryu, I am RinxXxSessh. How are you. Can I ask you a personal question? Are a fan of the (older) Rin and Sesshomaru pairing? Just curious is all RinxXxSessh (talk) 03:02, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Rin
That's okay I can understand your opinon. I am not a fan of the Kagura and Sesshomaru pairing at all and right now I am in a battle with someone about her and Sesshomaru being the canon pairing when that isn't exactly true because she was killed off in the series and I don't think Rumiko would be bringing her back because she was 'technically' not a real demon she was created from Naraku and other parts of demons she was not born naturally. I do also agree with you on the Talk about Tenseiga about Rin and her helping Sesshomaru and is truly the one who helped Sesshomaru learn about compassion and become the owner of Tenseiga and I don't think many other people have seen this either but if it wasn't for her being in Sesshomaru's life he probably wouldn't have cared about Kagura's death at all so you are right Rin IS the first one to teach Sesshomaru compassion and Kagura taught Sesshomaru grief. Also think about this too. Rin was the first person to awaken Sesshomaru as the owner of Tenseiga right and later on when Kagura dies he feels saddeness for her death and Tenseiga gets reforged as a weapon, but...when Rin dies the second time Tenseiga's TRUE powers are shown...the ability to save a hundred lives with one stroke when he purifies the souls of the underworld but there was probably more than a hundred in the underworld when Sesshomaru was there. What does tell you right there? RinxXxSessh (talk) 14:45, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Question for you
Hey HaldberdBanryu, hope you are having a better week than I am as I was being pestered by a anon who keeps thinking that Rin's stay in the village is her final decision and well...the rest is just pointless and fruitless. So let me ask you this, This is how it's put by InuYasha in the manga: "It's seems like practice for returning her to a human village. For whatever she chooses." So in your own opinon what is InuYasha saying there about Rin staying in the village? RinxXxSessh (talk) 12:23, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

New quote template
Hi, Banryu. I imported two new quote templates that we can use in articles' quote sections that will allow us to not only include more than one speaker, but will also allow us to source the quotes and attribute them in the same way we can lead quotes. I hope you find it useful. See here for an example of their use.--<font color="#A8516E">Lord Hyōga <font color="#7BB661">Tree of Ages 01:51, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Manga Chapters
I do know that you have taken on a very huge role as far as the manga goes - and I do intend to leave you as their main editor. I only own the last three volumes (though I one day intend to purchase all of them), so I will leave you to creating/adding content to the other chapter pages. The headers on the back of the volumes are the VIZ-translated titles, as noted by Wikipedia's volume list.

My only intentions with my edits was to make the article more reader-friendly before adding a navibox, so I apologize if it seems some of the things I reworded are more cluttered. You can change some back, but I don't think I made any major edits that conflicted with anything you wrote.

I can't admit that adding links is cluttering, though (unless I accidentally repeated links, which I admit I do on occasion, and I won't object if you get rid of repeats). The links don't add any more words than necessary, and in fact there should be more than just a couple. Each article on the wiki is meant to be able to stand alone and provide a comprehensive reference for the article's subject. Having links to the subjects that aren't the main focus allow people to navigate to those terms that they may want to explore more... if that makes sense?

Anyhoo, I guess we could continue this discussion on chat if you'd prefer :3 --Lenalia Row (talk) 02:33, December 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Fixed the manga link. Feel free to reupload File:Slider-manga.jpg as the image you referenced (just make sure its at least 670x410, and you update the source of the fair use rationale). And, for the future, when you leave messages on my talk page, please put them under separate headings if they're dealing with separate issues. :) Thank you. --Lenalia Row (talk) 00:21, December 22, 2013 (UTC)
