Talk:Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl/Archive 2

message: Why would it make sense to have an apostrophe in the middle of Yasuna's last name like "Kami'izumi" or an Ō instead of an O for Hazumu's last name like Ōsaragi? I see the apostrophe as mearly a crutch to people not well-versed in the Japanese language (at least the basics of pronounciation) and I saw no reason to aide those people when we should cater to have the article more correct as far as romanization goes. Also, having an Ō in Osaragi, in the context it's used, implies that Osaragi is infact Oosaragi or Ousaragi, which it definately is not, so I removed it.--Juhachi 23:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You misunderstand, that part of the text denotes pronunciation, not name spelling. -- Ned Scott 00:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Juhachi is correct on Osaragi.  The "O" in "Osaragi" is NOT a long "O", so "Ōsaragi" is incorrect.  I just noticed an error that might have caused this confusion - the Kanji for "Osaragi" is 大佛 (not 大儀).  I'm going to go ahead and fix the Kanji, and change the pronunciation back to "Osaragi" and see how it goes. --Mikeats 06:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

text: As for Yasuna's last name, I'm pretty sure it should NOT be Kamīzumi, but I'm not sure about the apostrophe in "Kami'izumi" though. --Mikeats 06:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to ahead and change Kami'izumi back to Kamiizumi.--Juhachi 01:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character names 

message: I don't want to discourage the contribution, but does stuff like comparison between manga and anime belong here?--220.109.169.56 05:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Shouldn't it? I've seen it done in multiple other articles and since there isn't a vast amount of information for the series, it's better to keep it all in one place, at least for now.--Juhachi 15:51, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comparison? 

message: I'd just like to point out that Yasuna is written やす菜 which literally translates as 'cheap vegetable'. One can argue that (やす) might not mean 'cheap' as that would be (安), but (菜) is definitely 'vegetable'. 
Considering Hazumu's preoccupation with and love of plants, I think this had more to do with the name choice than a possible link with yasumi or yasumu. Then again it's probably meant to be a pun any way you look at it.
Also, tomaru (止まる) can also mean 'to remain' or 'to abide', which I think better describes Tomari's relationship with Hazumu.
Now this might be a stretch, but Asuta (明日太) could mean 'tomorrow's important person'. (明日) is of course 'tomorrow' and (太) usually means 'fat', but it can also mean 'big' as it relates to stature or position such as (太子) for 'crown prince'. In this context it could indicate his future chances with Hazumu.

replies: text: Wow, I am very surprised to see this anime licensed. Wonder how the dub will come out... I'll add in the citation now.--(十八|talk) 03:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA nomination 

message: Its a very good article but would it be possible to have more "non-anime" related references especially in the reception section? 
Also normally you wouldn't use citations in the lead but as in the paragraph: "... with the second being released in April 2007. The anime was licensed by Media Blasters, and the first DVD will go on sale on June 12, 2007; there will be three DVDs containing the twelve main episodes and the bonus OVA in the final DVD." Done
As this doesn't seem to be mentioned or cited anywhere else in the article I would recommend adding a citation to it. Finally although most of it is mentioned in the lead I would recommend adding a section about the history & development of the show while keeping the lead as a summary as according to WP:LEAD. Done
Hope this helps. Tarret 20:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: About the "non-anime" related references, the reception section is currently split in two paragraphs: manga and anime. Of the reception I've found, only these two media types were reviewed by reputatble sources as I could not find very much information at all on the light novel or visual novel adaptations in terms of reviews. As for just inline reviews for these other media types, the light novel section has two inline references, while the visual novel section has two as well, but is much longer. The second paragraph in this section was translated from the Japanese Wikipedia article on the visual novel, but that information would be consistent with the official website for the visual novel, so I'll add in the citations now. As for added information, I have been researching the past week for any new info and references I could add, but could not find very much.--十八 22:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is much better now but in the history section there could use some citations;I would recommend at least one for each paragraph, but of course more will make the article better. If you already used a reference don't be afraid to cite it multiple times using "ref names" as described at WP:CITE and WP:FOOT. Hope this helps. Tarret 12:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
