Talk:List of Naruto characters/Archive 1

message: This page is currently incomplete. OBVIOUSLY. It has characters up to the letter M, and for some obscure reason, Iruka. I'll add the rest later, and then go handle Naruto geography and possibly, if I feel up to it, the worst headache of all- Naruto jutsu. -AceMyth 06:29, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

replies: text: Right, after searching for any indication of whether uploading approx. 100X100 pics of character faces to show how they look like falls under fair use or not, my (admittedly very limited) understanding of the workings of the fair use clause concluded that it does. If anybody thinks it does not, however, please leave a comment here (or in my talk:user page) so we can discuss it and so I won't start uploading the rest of the images. (I'm giving this three to four days). --AceMyth 00:10, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to add a bunch of short sentences explaining what their names mean in Japanese.  Their name in Japanese are often written with self explanatory Kanji or from a (fitional or real) historical Ninjas. Enjoy!

message: I don't have access to anything Viz publishes, so I picked the circumflex because I believed it was the closest approximation to how "Hyuga" was supposed to be pronounced (while the macron denotes merely a long vowel, the circumflex also indicates stress put on it if I'm not mistaken, which is apparently the case here). That aside, regardless of what the best romanization is of all terms that seem to be problematic in this section ("Mangekyo" is one example), we need to just decide on one and make all instances uniform. The alternating usage between different translations and transliterations is becoming more problematic as more contributions are made to these pages and some standard should be decided on before they become a total mess.
Well, use the Viz romanizations, but subsitute circumflexes used for macrons notate "proper" romanizations in parenthenses. The Viz versions of Naruto are available at North American bookstores. WhisperToMe 01:34, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: is it really necessary to have entries for them both here and in Akatsuki (Naruto)? One or the other (probably the one on this page) should be removed... 141.156.194.175 01:19, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I haven't read the Naruto manga, but I've watched all of the anime. Something that I noticed on Orochimaru's section here is that a "position" is listed for him, as "left little finger." What the heck does that mean? And how come no other characters have them? --mdd4696 20:58, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a remnant of his former membership in Akatsuki, and Orochimaru makes a very brief mention of it in the anime, although I'm not sure in which episode. Edit: in episode 81, when he's talking about his leaving Akatsuki because of Itachi.--Pentasyllabic 22:48, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Position: Left Little Finger? 

message: Are these sections really necessary? In my opinion, they don't give any new information, and just take up space.--JadziaLover 11:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO it's either "move the 'Main Characters', etc. (or links to their pages) to the top and take them out of the 'Other Characters' list", or remove the 'Main Characters' completely.--Pentasyllabic 11:34, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I redid those sections to list the main and supporting characters, and deleted their entries from the 'Other Characters' list for those that had no affiliation. I also trimmed the list of secondary characters for several reasons. The result doesn't look great, but I think it's easier to navigate now. --Pentasyllabic 01:17, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

message: User:ShaunHimself has added a lot of character pictures recently, but unfortunately none of them seem to have licensing info and will probably get deleted... how would one go about correcting this? --Pentasyllabic 04:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  New pictures 

message: While categorizing Naruto images, I noticed some (like :Image:Yuura.jpg) don't have copyright nor source information. I would suggest that someone who really knows the anime and manga checks them all, and add the corresponding tag when needed. Images without status are usually deleted as soon as tagged . I tagged two but decided to revert the changes and let a message in the uploader's Talk Page. -- ReyBrujo 04:07, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images without copyright status 

message: Because with all the page splitting this is what it's become, and I think keeping the incredibly cumbersome current format of headlines and "see main article" just because we have yet to create a page to store the information about the Aburame Clan, Konohamaru and Tonton is silly. --AceMyth 11:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposing move to [[List of Naruto Characters]] and appropriate re-formatting 

message: Sorry I'm new at wikipedia please forgive if I wrote this in the wrong place.  About Yondaime's true name being Uzumaki Anshi, I found no proof of this anywhere.  And on episode 82 of the anime, itachi says the words "yondaime hokage" not anshi.  Cannot find any mention of the name Anshi anywhere on manga or anime and this leads me to believe Yondaime's real name is unknown and whether he is naruto's father.
:You are quite correct ^^ The Yondaime's name is, as of yet, unknown. The true link between Naruto and the Yondaime is also still hidden from us. This goes for both the Japanese and English series--JadziaLover 13:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

message: An IP address is changing the description of the character Yashamaru (see diff). I just wanted to make sure that these changes, altering the gender of the character, are incorrect.

thread_title:  Just for clarification 

message: I noticed that most of the characters in this article that aren't just links to other pages are members of the Hidden Sand. Would an article on Kaze no Kuni be practical, seeing as there are enough known members (specifically more than there are for Nami no Kuni, which has its own article), or would that be unnecessary? I asked this question on the Naruto Geography page a couple of weeks ago, but nobody has replied yet… Snapper2 01:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kaze no Kuni? 

message: "So, joining with Otogakure, the Kazekage planned to attack Konohagakure" -- I was under the assumption that the whole attack was planned and executed by Orochimaru in disguise as the Kazekage. The betrayal of Konohagakure was originally met negatively among Temari, Baki, and villagers, but followed because they were the (fake) Kazekage's orders. The apologetic surrender message of Sunagakure and initial reactions to finding Kazekage's body seems to imply that the Fourth Kazekage didn't agree to a war, and that they had been fooled by Orochimaru. 128.195.111.214 01:21, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fourth Kazekage 

message: I'm not sure where to post this, as it is a recurrent issue on all the individual character pages.  The pre time-skip ages of all the characters are known from the data books.  However, in the character pages, the post time-skip ages are listed.  I think this presents a problem, in that the time-skip is not a round number of years, but "approximately" two and a half years, so the age number might change by just 2 years for some charaters post-timeskip, and by 3 years for others, depending on their birtdate and the date at which Naruto I ends.   (Unless someone can cite a source on the post time-skip ages, in which case I'll gladly stand corrected.)
Why are the ages shown post time-skip, and not the canonical original age?  I suggest we revert to pre time-skip age, or at the very least, list both figures. --Byakuren 01:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I brought up the subject of ages here, and the only person who felt like responding thought giving only part II ages would be more useful than giving both. Feel free to chime in with your own opinions. --Snapper2 20:18, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Will do.  Thanks!  --Byakuren 01:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Somebody is being annoying 

message: I've taken notice that all filler characters have the complete data deck (age, rank, height, weight, birthday, blood type, unique traits, & seiyu), but really few were giving any actual information on more than 2-3 of these aspects, namely: unique traits, seiyu, and, on some rare occations, age (although then it was only a notice of demise). So I'd like to ask if it would be okay to change the data characteristics deck for filler-only characters to: status, unique traits, & seiyuu, partly out of space saving issues, partly because it would make the articles look slightly more organized... Well, what do you think? 81.224.28.244 01:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I was wondering why Hinata's father is listed under "Villagers" in "Land of Fire" instead of "List of Konoha ninja". I would expect that Hiashi, as the head of the Hyuga clan, would be a jonin or something. Is it because he doesn't seem to use the head protector? There are various other characters who are ninja but not wear their village head protectors, such as pre-Hokage Tsunade, Jiraiya, and I don't think Shizune wears one, either.

message: Why do some of the characters, like Tenten and Shino, have articles? They have done basically nothing besides a few minor fights that generally don't matter very much, and the filler arcs. Although I'd keep Shino's for now in case he does more in this arc, we should just get rid of Tenten's immediately, because hse does absolutely nothing, EVER. Kurenai and Hinata also have very small roles and their articles are in reality a small page they haven't earned yet. We should also try to expand upon the other articles (Neji and Lee, for example) so it reflects upon their actual role.203.81.209.133 09:50, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
