Talk:Jerry Minor

message: Whoever posted the Celebrity Impersonations done by Jerry Minor: where in the world did you get the Mr. Show references?  I remember Jerry Minor playing a Louis Farrakhan-like character in Season 4, Episode 6, but never did he play Jimi Hendrix, Al Sharpton, or Grandmaster Flex, whoever that is..I know a Grandmaster Flash and a Funkmaster Flex, but no Grandmaster Flex.  I have absolutely no idea where these references came from.  Please inform. Eganio 02:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Abe no Seimei

message: I have no idea who put in that the movies aren't related to the novels, but that's nonsense.  The author of the novels wrote the screenplay adaptation himself!  Sheesh!
This is how the recent pop culture Seimei thing works:
:-Baku Yumemakura writes the novel series starting in the late 80s.
::-The novel series is adapted into a manga, a movie and its sequel, and a tv series.  (These three things are unrelated to each other.)
::-The novels spark a "Seimei Boom", which inspires a ton of other pop culture about Seimei, most of it not directly related to the novels.
Minamoto no Hiromasa and Abe no Seimei are both historical figures who are featured in the same collections of tales.  However, they are not featured in the very same tales, and there is no reason to think they knew each other.  Anything that pairs the two of them up and makes them friends is directly inspired by the Yumemakura novels.  Franzeska (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Kintaro's Weight and Height

message: Couple problems in this article. For one thing, all characters are not 'digitally resized to the same height,' in fact quite the opposite, if they wanted their tigerman to be tall, they could have -made- him tall like they did with shao kahn.
Secondly, a lot of other characters haven't appeared in the movies. Stryker and Kabal stand out in my mind.

Template talk:Infobox Anime convention

message: Let's face it; both of these are ugly kludges. But to achieve the optional parameters that I wanted in this infobox, one of them had to be used.
At first, I chose to used the hiddenStructure CSS hack when I redesigned the infobox, mainly because it was the recommended solution and also because of WP:AUM. But after thinking about the problems it would cause with the underlying HTML, I figured that there had to be a better solution. That was when I decided to look into qif. Even though it is a meta-template and WP:AUM advices editors to avoid them, there really is no other clean solution to deal with my problems regarding the underlying HTML.
With all of that in mind, Qif will probably be just a temporary solution until the same functionality is included directly into MediaWiki.--TheFarix 15:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Qif vs hiddenStructure 

message: There is nothing in this template that is specific to anime conventions. Shouldn't this be made into a generic convention template? I could apply this template to BoundCon, for example, and no one would notice anything wrong. JIP | Talk 07:28, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  General convention template? 

message: I think having a section like this is too vague. Many cons have similar events, and listing them in deadpan doesn't give a reader the idea of the flavor of convention taking place.
I suggest instead changing it to something like "focus events" or "distinguishing features" where one could place the events that actually characterise the convention or are even unique to it. Some cons focus on costumes, some on guests, some on music or amvs, whatever.RCHM 01:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  I went ahead and updated the template 

message: Since this infobox is now interchangeable with the other, it would be a simple matter. The one thing I would prefer is that the development history of this infobox be kept over the development history of the other. That is because the history is far more detailed in the template's evolution while Template:Infobox Convention has merely copied this template as certain snapshots. A history merge may be a solution. Another would be to delete Template:Infobox Convention and move this in its place. But which would be the best solution? --Farix (Talk) 23:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kobra (Mortal Kombat)

message: Hey, i just beat the game with Kobra, and it did not mention him dying, rather yet, he fought along side with Kabal and Kira.  In Kira's ending, though, Kabal forced her to fight Kobra and see who the new worthy recruit would be.  Is it possible that both are alternate endings, or is Kobra's just a prequel to what actually happened to him in the end?
Just wondering....Leonida
General consensus is that Kira's ending is a continuation of Kobra's, it seems. Neither may happen, however. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Kobra's ending wasn't mentioned here at all. Shadaloo 05:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed this from the article because it's completely bogus. I've followed the series even before MK3 came out and it's literally the first time I have ever heard of this. The cited source (TheGamer) is already questionable and just tosses that nugget in without directly quoting anyone. There is no mention of such a contest involving the three mentioned characters on any other website despite the article dating back to 2019. Not only that, would fans really be asking for a riot control officer in a Mortal Kombat game? Lastly, game companies know better than to add fan-created characters because they don't need any risk of future litigation on their hands. This is exactly why Khrome will never see the light of day in the MK series. (No disrespect to the original poster, of course.) sixtynine • whaddya want? • 04:49, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Nekomata does not really fall under as a type of Bakeneko though this article tries a little bit to point only specific differences. Bakeneko is a type of henge(Shapeshifter), and the Nekomata is strictly a Transformed Monster Cat.

replies: text: This really isn't true. Yokai just aren't that categorically organized into classes and subgroups like real animals are. All of the terms are fuzzy, and there's not much common understanding about any yokai really. It's not incorrect to say that nekomata are a type of bakeneko because there aren't any strict classifications about what makes or doesn't make a bakeneko. There aren't really any strict classifications about "shapeshifters" and "monster cats"—terms and translations that were applied after the fact to describe these creatures. There's nothing wrong in stating the relationship between nekomata and bakeneko. The whole point of yokai is that they are nebulous and not 100% definable. Osarusan (talk) 13:52, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Yōkai

message: Do we really need a list of anime and manga that feature yokai in some way? Putting aside the fact that this kind of pop culture trivia lists are being removed constantly from this and other yokai-related pages, what does this even add to the page? People come to the yokai page to learn about yokai, not to look for lists of spin off anime. Further, is this how we treat similar topics in other sections? Does the entry for English folklore include a list of cartoons and comic books that mention elves and pixies?
Obviously yokai have an influence on pop culture today, but it is informed by it and not vice versa. I don't know if that's enough to warrant allowing a specific fanbase to keep added lists of every single pop culture reference they can find that is even remotely connected to yokai. It seems to me that major culturally significant works, like the works of Mizuki Shigeru and Miyazaki Hayao, may warrant special mention on this page, but the lists of various individuals' favorite comics and cartoons detract from the quality of this page, IMHO.
