# Talk:Darker than Black: Gaiden

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Darker than Black: Gaiden's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "okamura":
From Hei (Darker than Black): "DARKER THAN BLACK 2期". Ryobben. Retrieved July 21, 2021.
From Darker than Black: "DARKER THAN BLACK 2期". Ryobben. Archived from the original on July 12, 2021. Retrieved July 21, 2021.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:23, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

@Xexerss: Found a simpler keyvisual here but the size is very small. You think a bigger one could replace the current? It still shows the two leads.Tintor2 (talk) 20:05, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

@Tintor2: It seems that the image is specifically of the main series and not Gaiden, I mean, I don't see the "Gaiden" characters (外伝) - Xexerss (talk) 22:31, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

@Xexerss: While I know that Okamura and Suga were the main creators of the OVA, I can't find a citation for each episode's main staff member other than ANN encyclopedia. Have you seen it?Tintor2 (talk) 00:54, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I have no idea about sources of the credits for each episodes. Maybe check each episode credits and cite them directly? I saw something like that in Fly Me to the Moon (manga) for the characters section, I suppose that should work too. - Xexerss (talk) 03:15, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

@Xexerss: I've been checking around but it appears none of the episodes have actual titles like not even a placeholder like "Gaiden 1". I think Aniplex call them "OVA 1", "OVA 2". Also since the plot summary takes place in the plot, should we use the episode chart for something? I have the same doubt with the handling of the article Akudama Drive as such anime only had 12 episodes yet it wasn't given its own list.Tintor2 (talk) 17:38, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I suppose that the release dates should be just mentioned in the Production and release section then. It seems that it's pointless to have the wikitable. - Xexerss (talk) 18:41, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

@Jaguar: Thanks for the review. I'll to fix any issue you find. It was recently copyedited by Baffle gab1978 from the Guild so I hope prose is okay. Still, it's kinda one of my smallest nominations I ever made.Tintor2 (talk) 22:06, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

"Hei notices Yin's alter ego on their way to Hong Kong,;" - stray comma
Done
" suggests she use herself as a bait to attract" - 'a' is redundant
Done
"Meanwhile, an unknown group ensures Izanami's awakening is stopped and seal Yin" - seal Yin into where? Some explanation would help clarify this sentence
Done
"Original character designer Yuji Iwahara, anime character designer and chief animation director Takahiro Komori" - anime seems a bit redundant here, aren't they all anime designers to an extent?
Revised. Basically, when making an anime, there are two character designers. Iwahara is the original artist while Komori adapted his work for the animation.
"Anime UK Network stated he gave the second season of Darker than Black a more favorable score" - broken sentence; how about A reviewer from Anime UK Network gave the second season of Darker than Black a more favorable score
Done.
That's all I have. This is a nice compact article, which boasts comprehensiveness and good sourcing. Once those minor nitpicks are out of the way I'll be happy to promote this!  ♦ jaguar 22:34, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
