thread_title:  Tenth aniversary edition 

message: Just as a heads up, after a couple go-rounds with the reliable source noticeboard and project talk page, it's been determined that the ANN encyclopedia is not a reliable source and so cannot be used as a reference -- especially not in GA- or FA-class articles. (For news, reviews, and release info, ANN is reliable -- just not the encyclopedia, which is user-edited content.) I've removed all but one reference in this article, but that last one's a kicker. I've found several replacement references to support the statement that the anime was created as five-minute segments compiled into half-hour episodes, but nothing aside from ANN to support that the five-minute segments were broadcast on successive weeknights, which were compiled for rebroadcast on the weekend. If we can't find a replacement source (possibly in Japanese?) we'll have to remove the weekday/weekend part of that statement or face the possibility of the article demoted from GA, so any assistance here appreciated. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  refs drop out place 

message: Ref 4: Azumanga Daioh on VHS and DVD ref isn't right. It's more a plot summary of the beginning. Your opinion on this one ? 
Better to rewrite the part using like: "The compilation episodes, which were the only versions to include the title and credits sequences, were released on 6 DVDs in 2003 and 9 Universal Media Discs between 2005 and 2006 by Starchild Records. A DVD box set of all episodes is scheduled for June 24, 2009; the five-minute segments can be distinguished by their individual titles."

thread_title: Off beat refs

message: Re:refs
While Azumanga Puzzle Bobble certainly exists, it's very tough finding reliable references for it ( a similar thing goes for the Lupin III games also released on Sega Naomi). I'd image gamefaqs probably isn't good enough as the current ref. Dandy Sephy (talk) 22:06, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Gamefaqs has only been found by the WP:VG project as reliable for stuff on the data page. However, the mere existence is not enough to warrant detailed inclusion. Nor does GameFAQs state the nature of the game as official, unofficial, etc. It just list the name, the date published , the region published and who published it.じんない 03:12, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Games? 

message: Quoting from the GAR: Lacking production information beyond the title section, and considering the DVDs contain quite a bit of making of type info, this is a large oversight. This may be a big stumbling block, if this really is essential to GA. I don't have ready access to the DVDs so I can't confirm whether there's anything from the anime staff about the adaptation. I do know that I've heard nothing, not even rumors, of any statements from Azuma about origin/inspiration of the manga -- and it's not like he's completely reticent, as he's talked about Yotsuba&! (even if it's all behind a language barrier to me). —Quasirandom (talk) 18:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I saw on the feature list, there is directory and cast commentary and some other making-of type stuff (though knowing ADV, its only on the first releases and not in the thinpack box). If the manga has no notes, that kinda sucks. I saw the first VizBig at a store recently, but hadn't looked through it more than a quick flip.-- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 18:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yonkoma format manga usually doesn't have space for quarter-page ads, so creator comments are left to afterwords (which Azuma avoids), interviews, or nothing. A couple manga volumes have good translator notes, but nothing else. (VizBig? You mean ADV's omnibus edition? It's a straight compilation reprint of the volumes, without even editing the page numbers.) —Quasirandom (talk) 19:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, that's what I meant. They look so similar on the shelves and didn't really flip through it. Semi off topic, but I picked up Viz's VizBig of Hot Gimmick and it was nice. They included the color pages and all the designer notes and what not. And actually fixed the page numbers with the table of contents (unlike Tokyopop's first volume of Fruits Basket which was the same as it what it sounds like ADV does on their Omnibus', blech). -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 20:00, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are evil. You picked my curiosity ;) Ok Hot Gimmick has now plenty RS references stockpiled in its discussion page Cheers --KrebMarkt 20:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

text:  I stopped at the local used video shop on the way home, and found volume 1 of the original ADV release. The only extra on the DVD itself is production sketches (plus clean OP/EP); the included booklet, however, has voluminous translation notes, some of the sketches, and -- a page of quotes from the Japanese production staff. Unfortunately their comments are largely trivial (from animation director Hideki Tachibana: "After episode 2, I learned to neatly split disposable chopsticks. Now, if I could only find a way to stop hiccups.") and even those addressing the production process are empty ("I wanted to do this right"-sort of thing). Dunno whether they got more informative in later volumes, but if this is typical, there won't be enough for a real Production section. —Quasirandom (talk) 03:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have all six volumes of the original release, and the booklets are similar for each disc, though, obviously, tailored to that particular disc's episodes.  rdfox 76 (talk) 03:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was afraid of that. Unless someone knows of other resources out there, it looks like a Production section won't be able to get off the runway (if it can even taxi from the gate). —Quasirandom (talk) 14:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Production info 

message: Closely related to the preceding, the GAR points out that most of the Anime adaptation info is unsourced and, as they involve comparing two sources, thus is in Wikipedia jargon original research. I've yet to read a review that says more about the adaptation than "it follows the manga closely". Unless anyone finds something more detailed, I suspect it's time to trim that paragraph down to just that, source with a review or three, and move on. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:55, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I did not understand what's about really even with translation tools. All i understood a that re-release is that will be 3 volumes releases one per fictive class year, in the same format than Yotsuba&! and that the newly serialized chapters will be included in those releases, one new chapter per volume. --KrebMarkt 14:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Right, about the three-volumes-one-year-each. Any idea what's meant by format of Yotsuba&!? —Quasirandom (talk) 15:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I got all those information from a scanlation. Funny they translated a whole slice of ad and other goodies line-up, in our case that give how many targets we need to source. The manga re-release will have approx 5" x 7" pages so that with Yotsuba&! they can form a feel great lineup. Additional information: there will be an anime & soundtracks re-releases in Japan (scheduled June 24, 2009) along of a more commemorative material book probably in the fall. Scanlation tagged it The Osaka world's fair. Now we just need the RS refs that means stay alert and wait mostly. --KrebMarkt 19:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

message: So how should we handle the Supplimentary Lessons in the infobox -- an additional box item? Putting them in the manga box doesn't seem to work, what with having a separate period of serialization, different serializing publisher (how is this working, anyway, to have one publisher serialize but the original publisher collecting the chapters in a reprint edition?), and not being part of the English licensors' editions. But an additional manga box also doesn't seem to quite work, what with it being only three serial numbers to be included in the new edition instead of separately collected. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Continuing reviews 

message: This was cut from the article:
:Madman Entertainment licensed the series for release in Australia and New Zealand with the first volume Azumanga Daioh:Entrance awarded a controversial MA15+ Restricted rating by the OFLC.This was due to Kimura's antics during the episode Pool! Pool! Pool! that the OFLC took offence because all the girls are minors,thus making it the only western nation to give Azumanga Daioh a high rating as other countries have given it "PG" ratings.Madman Entertainment was quite shocked along with long time Australian fans and Madman Entertainment did consider appealing against the decision to the Review Board, but eventually decided against it. The other volumes are rated PG with the exception of Volume 2 with a G rating and Volume 3 with a M rating.
I'm unsure that the given ref  is RS, second issue is this single reference can't cover all the facts presented and last one some undue weight due to the over detailed description of the Anzac release. --KrebMarkt 11:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
