Talk:List of Negima characters (1-15)

message: Can anyone point out where the information about the headmaster of the mage academy being Negi's grandfather comes from? Shiroi Hane 01:28, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked the first chapter, Negi calles him headmaster. I will check the other chapters when I have time. I think the person who added this comment mistaken Oji-san as grandfather. MythSearcher 02:11, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I highly suspect so, yes, but wanted to see if whoever added the info had some justification that I've missed. Shiroi Hane 03:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Del Rey's translation in chapter 184, has Negi calling the headmaster as Grandfather, I believe in the original manga he was referred to as Ojii-chan. Misosoup7 (talk) 19:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure Stan belongs in the section; I can't find it written that the village Negi lived in till he was four was actually in Wales - it is however mentioned that Nekane went away to Wales to study and that she and Negi were taken to Wales after the village was destroyed suggesting that they weren't in Wales at the time.

message: I have a collection of pictures of the class 2A/3A and staff (3.30mb) of Mahora hosted on my webserver, wich may be usefull.
All the pictures are the same size (224x271 pixels), 36 pictures in total.
I am not so good with wikipedia, and don't even have an account, so i'll leave it to one of you.
The pictures are extracted (by me) from screenshots of the last anime episode, so i think it should have the Template Tv-screenshot.

replies: text: I did once upload a collection of character images from the anime as I had an homogenous set (e.g. :Image:Negima_Zazie_Rainyday.jpg) but most people (me included) seemed to prefer to standardize on colour images of the manga character designs (see the discussion on Talk:Negima). I now have colour versions of the mugshots from the class directory (e.g. :Image:Negima_Sayo_Aizaka.jpg) but they're small and don't scan well and I keep forgetting to finish off the set ^^;.

replies: text: I found some pics that match the haircolors of the manga, only prolem is that it is not in fact from the manga, but from one of the negima games. Still looking for "official" manga pictures... (oh and i made an account...) Gameslinder 11:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

text: The third one seems to be the best since it has least resolution but highest image quality. MythSearcher 15:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Uploaded new pictures and updated links.  If anyone can find a better copyright description for the pictures or pictures with better copyright information (actually, I think the current pictures are creator released rights, but no official statement were written.), please update them. MythSearcher 03:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

text: The new images are gif rather than jpg, so I do not think that would work. Shiroi Hane 20:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would like to note that Wikipedia periodically deletes images not featured on any particular article. Leave them uploaded or delete them now; it will make little difference in a week or so. Drake Christopher Dragon 13:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Users cannot delete images, we can replace them with a new image but only if the extension is the same (admittedly I've not tried overwriting a jpg with a gif but I shouldn't think it advisable), e.g. I did this with Nodoka's image, among others, not long ago. Shiroi Hane 22:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I tried to overwrite them, but it didn't work. I have to change the extension and end up uploading new files instead of overwritting old ones.  User CANNOT delete any files, so we have to leave them up there.  HOWEVER files without any article pointing to them will be deleted in 7 days by the system or admin.  So before you talk about wearing the system, please try to know more about the system first. MythSearcher 02:31, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

text: MythSearcher, it appears you need to re-upload the face portrait of Kazumi Asakura from the video game website. I would do it myself, but just for continuity's sake, I think the original uploader should be responsible. We are all appreciative of your work. Now, if only someone could locate a graphic for Negi... Drake Christopher Dragon 18:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Query: why were neither of the comments acribed to Drake Christopher Dragon made from that account? Shiroi Hane 22:10, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Question, I see no problem on that picture, why upload it again? It is just broken because someone changed the name or moved it. MythSearcher 02:46, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

text: It was too troublesome to dig up my password. Also, MythSearcher, my apologies; the image was working fine earlier, then I noticed it was broken and reported it here. I'm not sure if you were responsible for fixing that link or not, but my thanks to whomever did. Drake Christopher Dragon 19:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sugestion for usage of new pictures 

message: I tried to make the page look nicer, but kinda failed. It is a little bit better for identifying which paragraph links to which picture now, however, anyone who got more skills in formatting wiki articles could help out a bit.  I think the character pictures should align to the top instead of the middle of the table cell. MythSearcher 06:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have done a little bit of clean up and this way the character pictures will fit with more description. I use 1280x1024 to edit, please tell me if they look good in smaller resolution screens. MythSearcher 03:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: formatting

message: I see that there is a link saying see below.  However I do not see anything regarding this below the article.  Is it still on the main Negima article? I do not have time today to go through and find it, if no one fixes this, I will do it on Monday. MythSearcher 08:03, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  About Haruna's nickname 

message: Some of them is useful info, but so seems to be really not belonging to the article.  Spoiler might be ok, but do we really have to tell the whole story in the character page(or any other page)?  Should we keep the paragraph length limited so that it will not be a text rewrite of the manga?  MythSearcher 01:36, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  recent edits of 12.153.145.5 

message: Since this page no longer lists all the characters in the series, I suggest that this article, as well as the sister (16-31) article, be renamed to indicate that it specifically lists the members of Mahora Academy Girls' Junior High Class 3-A.  SAMAS 22:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This page has never listed all the characters in the series, it was moved from Characters of Negima to Characters of Negima (1-15) when the other characters were moved to another page and the class list was split in two and in it's current form has always listed students 1-15, hence then name (it did also include Negi until today, but I am trying to reorganise the character pages a bit at the moment so moved his mini bio elsewhere). Shiroi Hane 22:28, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: What I have been considering is moving this page to the more accurate and clear title of Characters of Negima (students 1-15) (and the same with 16-31). Shiroi Hane 17:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rename? 

message: Please see Talk:Characters of Negima (16-31) MythSearchertalk 17:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, instead we should cut down all the plot summary and just keep the real life impact parts. (which the article currently contains none.)  Thanks to every now and then fans pop up and disregard any of the wiki-policies and guidelines, we have an almost fan cruff page that helps little in telling people who have never read the story what the characters are like and why are they important. If it is still too long, split it to 5 students per page, that should help a lot. MythSearchertalk 12:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: About the edit war going on

message: May I suggest that since the article is too long, can we make separate articles for some of of the known students. I proposed on making Asuna's first. - 上村七美 | talk 07:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Splitting the article

message: Saw someone create a node for a possible article for Kū Fei.  Do we have enough for her?  Sort of imagined Yue getting one before her. -StrangerAtaru 16:30, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Kū Fei Article

message: I blelieve that the article contains too much information, especially as the entire plots of recent issues have been revealled and every character that travelled to England, let along the magical world, contains a repetition of the same information. I've been trying to cut down on the plot details, repetition and trivia, but have been informed that I may have gone too far in the other direction. If anyone wants to comment on this, please help.

thread_title: Too much information?

message: I notice that not all of the character sections match the others in the way information is organized and tend to mix information from the original manga series with the offshoot anime series.  Is there an established format that can be followed?
I'd also like to add official information from the Negi Party/Pai series, specifically Akamatsu Ken's "Negi Love Love Rankings".  In the manga, it is created by Chamo and destroyed by some of the girls with the highest levels of affection for Negi.  I believe that the rankings provide a better measurement of each girl's level of affection for Negi than the highly subjective interpretations of fans (particularly regarding some characters) and thus provide more concrete substance for the encyclopedia than the opinions of fans.
