Hey Chorake, thanks for your contributions to this article! Please make sure you understand the policy on self-published sources. Information from these kinds of sources are generally not reliable, and not eligible for citation on Wikipedia. I'd recommend that you read through the links in this message and the ones above, which will help you determine which sources are reliable. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:43, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

I think three separate sources are fine to confirm what information is already present in the credits for the film proper. Chorake (talk) 01:53, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
I'm not commenting on the number of sources but on their quality. Also, I'm going through your edit in more detail now, and I'm not sure the information you're adding needs to be in the article per WP:WEIGHT, which requires that balance be maintained in articles by including information included in reliable sources. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 02:07, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
I think it's only fair that the people involved in the post-production should be acknowledged by name if the same amount of detail is to be extended to those involved with the second. Chorake (talk) 02:10, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Totally fine if you want to include that! I'm only saying that your additions need to be supported by sources that are secondary, independent, and reputably published, as described at WP:RS. Wikipedia isn't a reflection of editors' opinions, but a representation of information provided in reliable sources. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:59, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
All well and good. I don't want any misunderstanding between us, but as I'm sure you're aware for these kind of pedantic topics, it does take a little extra digging for reputable sources. Thank you for your patience. Chorake (talk) 05:19, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
@Chorake: Thanks for doing that; the Almanac and American copyright database sources appear to support your edits. I've removed the unreliable database which you reinstated, but I don't think that matters anymore since all of the information is already sourced. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:30, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

in the lore section, Ohmu has been misspelled to Ohm. Could someone change this? I'm not sure how to :-(

Dani Cavallaro's publications have been designated as generally unreliable sources in this discussion at the reliable sources noticeboard. Citations to her work can be replaced with more high-quality ones or removed, and the tag can be taken off once complete. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

a 1984 Japanese animated post-apocalyptic fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, based on his 1982–1994 manga series. 
In 1984 Hayao could not have based the film on the manga from 1994 unless he was a time traveler.
Correct would be
a 1984 Japanese animated post-apocalyptic fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, based on his manga series started in 1982 (which continued until 1994). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.97.219.255 (talk) 16:40, June 2, 2025

Thanks for bringing this up! I've gone ahead and removed the date of the manga from the lead to mitigate confusion. The details of the timeline between the film and manga can be discussed further in the article body if necessary. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:10, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
