Talk:Yotsuba&!

message: Literary magazine Da Vinci has a special feature on Yotsuba&! in this month's issue, including an interview with Azuma-sensei (a pretty rare occurrence, I believe). Possibly an interesting source for this article? I tried to pick up a copy at my local Japanese library, but it was sold out already. Bikasuishin (talk) 16:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a good source. I say go for it if you can snag a copy.--SeizureDog (talk) 16:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Yes, definitely a good source. If anyone can snag and use it, that would be a big help. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  pity no one seems to have been able to get a-hold of this article+interview... —Quasirandom (talk) 21:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Our link to ADV's Yotsuba&! page is dead. In fact, as far as I can tell, they've removed all manga information, period, though they still have sidebar links as if it's there. Unless, maybe, their website is merely borked and/or my search fu is weak like a weak thing. This wouldn't be much of a problem, but we also use that site as a reference -- which is now dead. Can anyone dig up a replacement link from ADV's page? If not, time to look for a replacement citation. —Quasirandom (talk) 23:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

text: That's the page I was going to suggest if we can't get an archive. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well we had to with the ANN link. Wayback machine doesn't have archive for the period where Vol 5 was in ADV store :( KrebMarkt 20:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

message: In addition to English reviews, there's also these reviews of the French editions (hat tip to User:KrebMarkt for these):
* BD Gest volume 1
* Manga Sanctuary several volumes
* Manga News volume 1 (for reviews of others volumes, click the cover, and then the critique tab)
* Animeland brief take on volume 8
These will have to be digested by someone who didn't choose Spanish and German as his foreign languages in high school. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Added another, also overlooked review. Should get to these sometime. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:15, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Another of, ah, marginal reliability. I mean, it's a real newspaper -- published by journalism students. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:19, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

text: New find Rather old but in English du9 was mentioned 4 times in Comics related publications as a pertinent source for reviewing works in all their singularity. --KrebMarkt 13:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I could have sworn I'd used that review. I know I came across it several times. Maybe I had doubts about its reliability, and so left it out? I dunno. Good to hear it's considered reliable, though. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

text: At least our discussion pages are worth mention. Now if it's our articles, it will be even better ;) --KrebMarkt 14:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text:  It needs to be vetted by the project, with feedback from WP:COMICS as the site reviews more of that than manga. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:00, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Idea #334 & French publisher blog
A pity it's sold out but that was expected. --KrebMarkt 15:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Pity indeed. The thumbnail on the Idea page on the left of the first row is (on the left) a two-page spread from volume 5 and (right) the cover designs (with wraparounds) of the eight volumes. Plus all the stuff shown in the blog post. This is ... worth incorporating, if we can figure out where in Reception it goes. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:40, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From what i undestand IDEA is a magazine focused on design that issue is the first one manga & light novel cover/packaging design & art. Yotsuba&! was the case study showing a gallery on the whole franchise including non Japanese edition covers as mentioned in its French publisher blog but also advertisement & others support materials released. A great form of recognition from what seems a venerable publication and beyond the usual field of manga. --KrebMarkt 19:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is indeed a Japanese magazine focused on design -- they've interviewed type designers from all over (especially Europe) and furniture designers; a recent issue focused on book design in China. "Case study" is a good way of putting it. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Yotsuba&Idea 

message: One significant one: Fuka has been changed to Fuuka. Since guidelines say that, if there's multiple versions of names in English, use the "best-known" one, and this edition is only just out (mine arrived from Amazon today), I think we should hold off on changing this in the article. Thoughts? —Quasirandom (talk) 00:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wouldn't it be easier to use Fūka throughout?  David Bailey (talk) 09:23, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The problem with that is, per WP:ENGLISH, we have to use a spelling of (one of) the official English edition(s) -- specifically, the best-known English spelling. And Fūka is never used by either ADV or Yen, only Fuka and Fuuka, respectively. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone change the main article image to the yen press version? —Preceding unsigned comment added by  SupaPhly  (talk • contribs)  05:46, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? Please give some arguments? I don't want any similar discussion to what happened  here. Thanks. --KrebMarkt 13:14, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

text: SupaPhly, just so you know, generally articles keep whatever cover it was first given unless there's a substantive reason (like crappy image quality, or it wasn't the first volume) to change it. This is mainly to avoid edit-warring (especially between those who want a Japanese cover, because it's a Japanese comic, and those who want an English cover, because it's the English Wikipedia). —Quasirandom (talk) 14:56, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: sorry, it was just a suggestion because ADV doesn't publish Yotsuba&! anymore. —SupaPhly (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 16:10, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Video games 

message: Given the Yen editions are way outselling the ADV ones, at least for new volumes, a reasonable argument can be made that Fuuka is becoming the more commonly recognized romanization of Miss Wind-Scent's name. Thus some of the recent changes to the article. Time to change the mentions to Fuuka (with a mention of Fuka as alternate spelling in her character description)? Discuss. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:33, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
