Talk:Lupin the Third/Archive 1

message: the picturs of lupin should have the jacket red.
thats the way monkey punch-sensai intended it
:I believe the reason it was green in the original series was because red paint was expensive in Japan (at the time) and used sparingly. However, this may be debatable since his jacket was red in both the 1969 pilot film and the Shin Lupin series (1977 - 80).
::Maybe they started to use red because Lupin started to become popular by that time, and the pilot might've had a bigger budget. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.206.68.5 (talk) 05:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Just FYI, User:Centrx has deleted Arsène Lupin III citing that it is "Likely copyvio, no reliable sources". You all probably want to go talk to him about that, since, although I have no idea about copyvio, I'm sure there are reliable sources on Lupin and he's certainly notable.

replies: text: He has his talk page protected so I can't say anything to him, but that was a good page with good information, and I don't think any of it was copyright violation. I don't know what why he deleted it but I sure would like to find out —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.43.82.69 (talk) 06:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Shouldn't the article be tagged for improvement rather than deleted, especially as it links to a rather large selection of articles?  What about a request for undeletion if his talk page is not accessible? 71.76.218.40 03:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I undeleted the page now, and I should have done it sooner. I don't think the deletion was reasonable and I'm going to try to sort the matter out with Centrx. - furrykef (Talk at me) 03:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the matter has been sorted out now and the article is going to stay. Centrx thought that the article was illegally copied from another source, but it turned out that it was simply copied from this article. - furrykef (Talk at me) 23:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lupin's character page has been deleted 

message: This user does nothing to this article but come in to remove the OBVIOUS references from Bleach and Cowboy Bebop to Lupin III. I don't know if he has some sort of grudge or personal problem with that fact. I mean, how is it "debatable" that the outfit in this image is not EXACTLY the same, piece for piece, with Lupin's 2nd series outfit?
I don't know what issue he takes with those facts, but he keeps coming back and deleting them and has done so on numerous occasions. If it's a possibility, I suggest he be blocked from editing this article.
:Well, this is not the sort of behavior that we "block" people for. I sympathize with your cause, but you also need to have a sense of perspective about this. Calling the removal of the image "vandalism" will not get support for your cause. I think what 293.xx.xxx.xx is concerned about is that there's no use in keeping debatable "homages" around when there are plenty more that are more certain. I agree: the list is too long. You shouldn't take it personally if it happens to be your contribution, or something about your favorite anime/manga, that gets the axe. I must say the "Shinji Hirako" image does resemble Lupin, though, and I think the image should stay unless we can find an even more obvious reference. - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: AFAIK, old good Hayao stopped his career as a TV shows director with Sherlock Hound, not with the ep 155 of lupin III; this leads me to consider how good the sources for other facts could actually be...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.84.115.123 (talk) 22:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Geneon did not dub the entire series, they only released 15 volumes. --AutoGyro (talk) 19:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Geneon dubbed and released 79 episodes of the Red Jacket series. According to Richard Epcar, they had actually dubbed somewhere around 120 episodes. Why these were never released on DVD if this is true is unknown. Even if production was incomplete on all of them, by the time the final DVD was released, they easily could have finished production on up to episode 110 or so.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.72.63 (talk) 03:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mangled sentence 

message: I wonder if 293.xx.xxx.xx hates Lupin III. People went back and added the episode numbers, and the volume number for the Midori Days manga has always been there, yet he keeps on deleting it.
Could you please explain how any of these are not properly sourced? It says the series and the episode number just like all the other ones. Do you hate Lupin that much?
"In Midori Days, Sakisaka Hisashi finds the missing master copy of the old Lupin III background music during an event taking place in the 4th Volume of the manga. In Crayon Shin Chan episode 440, Shinnosuke claims to be Lupin the 4th. Also, in episode 31 of the Great Teacher Onizuka anime, Onizuka, disguised, cheats by using magnets while playing on a Lupin IV Pachinko machine as an effort to raise money for a field trip he promised the 3rd year students but cannot afford. There are several Lupin III Pachinko machines found in Japan." 68.43.82.69 13:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Good Article Review - Pass 

message: The Lupin movies need an uniform naming scheme. We have the ones were they're named as part of the Lupin series (Dead or Alive (Lupin the 3rd)), the complete title ones (Lupin III: Legend of the Gold of Babylon) and the "I don't know what they are until I read the article" ones (Episode 0: First Contact).
Personally, I prefer the complete title. It tells you right out what the article is about and, also, it is the official title. What do you think?--Nohansen22:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and we have another problem. Some articles use Lupin III, others Lupin the 3rd. Is there no consensus?--Nohansen 22:36, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A debate was done long ago about the naming of the main article, and the consensus was to have the name be "Lupin III". I personally prefer the name Lupin the 3rd because that is the name on all of Geneon's, FUNimation's, and even Discotek's Lupin releases. As it is now, however, all the articles for the movies and TV specials need to follow whatever naming convention the main article uses. The naming for the movies and specials should follow this guideline: Lupin III: Name of the Movie/TV Special. The actual issue will be whether to use the American DVD titles of the movies/TV specials that were released on R1 DVD as the main title of the article, or should it be the translation of the original Japanese title. On that I say we should use the R1 DVD titles, since this is the English Wikipedia, and the R1 DVD titles will be the one most familiar to the people who would be looking them up. --AutoGyro 01:18, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi there, just a wee query- why are there a collection of fansite links at the bottom of the page? Leaving off for the moment that it's most definitely not Wiki policy, there's no way to decide between one or another in terms of suitability, so it's nigh-on-impossible to vet them effectively for addition. There's a blanket ban on them over in the Videogames wing, since they invariably cause too much trouble, with people previously adding and deleting them at will with little in the way of discourse over their suitability. If you genuinely need to get to a fansite, Google should surely do?
Anyway, comments and suggestions please. Hyperspacey (talk) 22:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, both those sites seem to be genuinely useful, you could probably list them under a better heading. Fansite doesn't really do them justice. "Unofficial resources" or something? Hyperspacey (talk) 23:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fansites? Seriously? 

message: I'm suprised no one has posted anything regarding the Punch The Monkey! remix/cover albums series. There are three of them in total, not including the Best Of album, and they feature some big names in Japanese music. I own only the 2nd one and some of the artists include Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Polysics, Yasuharu Konishi,Monday Michiru and even The Ventures. I don't think that an article has to be made for each individual album but perhaps a list of all them would be more suitable. Or maybe there is a Lupin the 3rd media article they could be integrated into? LonesomeMoon (talk) 07:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
