Talk:Naruto Uzumaki/Archive 4

message: First of all, sorry if this has already been discussed: in the introduction to this article, it says that Naruto's village was destroyed before Naruto's birth, but in the "Background" secion, it states that Naruto was an infant at the time.  I don't know which is right, but someone who knows should change it.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.0.186.147 (talk)  
: The background version is correct.  Naruto was newly born when the nine tailed fox was sealed within him.  The introduction is also misleading by saying that Konoha village was destroyed; It was attacked by the nine tails, not destroyed. BTW sign your post next timeAnthonzi 19:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends on how you take attacked and destroyed. Some would say it was destroyed as probably a large portion of the village could have been in ruin (as it probably would be if a giant four legged animal with nine long and very strong tails decided he wanted to break things).TheUltimate3 20:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ultimate: thats would be speculation; speculation doesn't really work with fictional stories IMO, or in any encyclopedia in fact.  However I can site the character introductions of the English version for the "at birth" issue.  The intro of this article also states that Naruto himeself encases the spirit; the spirit is actually sealed into him (mostly grammar problems here).  I'll try to rephrase the intro section.Anthonzi 05:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Inconsistency

message: Hey, all. Is is just me, or is the ammount of information about romantic or otherwise connections between Naruto and Sakura somewhat limited? I'd just like to point out that in a recent episode of Naruto Shippuden, (can't remember which one though,) Naruto was somewhat ecstatic at the possibility of a date with Sakura, to which she didn't act offended, but rather commented that it should be his treat. And following this, she is shown thinking about Naruto, wondering if she should have gone with him even if he would only pay for half, (this may prove that the interaction wasn't comic relief). Whataya think? Please discuss.Spehizle 23:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This article doesn't have a lot of pictures. Perhaps more pictures could be added, it makes it easier and more exciting to read. --VorangorTheDemon 15:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While i agree the article could use more pictures, I think we are lucky we got 4. Most articles just have a picture of now and then. This one managed to have (for instructive purposes) one for before and after, One Tailed transformation, Four Tailed transformation, and Team 7.TheUltimate3 15:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "It makes it easier and more exciting to read."  This is not a valid fair use rationale.  –Gunslinger47 16:17, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did I say anything about using that as a fair use rationale? See the Goku article for reference. We had the same issue there with four pictures, however, we managed to add more. I'm always up for more manga pictures. And especially if their pics from offical guide books. There's none here from official guide books. People seem to be fan-boys of the anime and forget that it started out has Manga.--VorangorTheDemon 19:25, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought there was a usual consesus (at least here) that they would rather use a anime image than a manga one beccause they are easier to see. Regardless, the format we have for our article, doesn't require a butt load of images. The images we do have, while small fit their purpose.TheUltimate3 19:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: More pictures?

message: Here Rasengan is called by it's origanal name, why is it that on the tecquices list is it called Spirling Shpere, I think we should change it.Ultimaterasengan 18:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Chidori is also called by its original name. An agreement was reached on Talk:Naruto that Rasengan and Chidori be called such. // DecaimientoPoético 18:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Rasengan

message: I much prefered it before, when all of the charracter's jutsus were listen in the box 'o' info. Why did we change it? ĎÂЙḸ
:Probably space. Probably becaue we named them in the Abilities sections. Probably because they got to long. Who knows. TheUltimate3 18:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Before 

message: This article is being used as a test subject for a new general purpose anime and manga character infobox. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga#Infobox animanga character for more details and to make comments. --Farix (Talk) 15:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  New infobox review 

message: Does Naruto have whiskers or are they scratches?
:-They're neither. They are marks on his face that give him a more fox-like appearance. He is the vessel of the nine-tailed demon fox, so that is why those marks appear on his face.
::-So does that mean that it's like a birthmark?
No it means that his biological features are being mixed with the nine tails. Yxgtree 01:22, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naruto's Face 

message: It's pretty clear that Naruto's article is the only one that will never get a plot overview section like the other articles. We know Naruto plays a role in every arc, so why don't we just have a current arc section like the One Piece articles to show what he's doing during the current part of the series? Artist Formerly Known As Whocares 17:59, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As long as we don't have to get rid of anything sure. Why Naruto never got a Current Arc section is beyond me really. TheUltimate3 18:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The only problem with that would be trying to figure out what to mention, since Naruto is at least partially present for everything that goes into the Plot overview section (ie. Sasuke stuff, Orochimaru stuff, Akatsuki stuff). It would be like summarizing the whole of the series in 500 words or less<!-not an actual figure to try and reach->. It's certainly possible, but something that needs some thought. ~SnapperTo 05:31, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Summerize the current arc he's in, with only the important crap like current: He joins a 8-man team, they split up, his group sees Kabuto, he leaves and they follow an explosion to the rest of the gang, Naruto shadow clones and seperates, he finds Itachi, he gets genjutsued or something I was never really sure, revelations about his family. Expand to make proper sense like we have now and we're set.--TheUltimate3 00:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Current arc section

message: In his abilities section, the various clone-combo attacks are mentioned.  However, they are named using the westernized form (Naruto Uzumaki Combo, Naruto Uzumaki 2k Combo) and in other pages they are referenced using the original names (Uzumaki Naruto Combo, Uzumaki Naruto 2k Combo).  Should we clean up this inconsistency somehow? ApokalypseCow 15:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and just for completeness's sake, I thought I should mention that I have read the FAQ - the characters certainly should follow the western naming scheme, as agreed upon in the survey, but I'm not sure that this applies to the name as presented within a technique title. ApokalypseCow 16:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be whatever name is used in the lists of jutsu. Go ahead and fix it. ~SnapperTo 21:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
