Talk:Yuri Lowenthal

message: Wondering if they are good friends since they do a lot of voice acting in the same shows and their characters are usually good friends ie: Haseo/Khun, Lelouch/Suzaku. Kirbyroth (talk) 18:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Being cast in the same anime shows does not guarantee they voice together as they usually voice separately. In an interview with Critical Gamer, Lowenthal said he didn't meet Samuel L. Jackson until after the show was released, even though he recorded a main character that interacts with Jackson's character. But you can check their twitter feeds and see if they refer to each other often outside of cast announcements. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:37, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yuri and Johnny 

message: I've heard a rumor (which is why I'm not putting it in the article, even though I swear by this to this day) that Yuri voices Derek Stiles in the Trauma Center Series. Besides going through episodes of anime and then comparing it to game footage on youtube, can anyone confirm this? (In-game credits might be usable, I don't know Wikipedia's policy on that.) --ArchabacteriaNematoda (talk) 22:57, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In-game closing credits are usable as a primary source if they are visible so you can use .  However, if it is just based on voice comparisons and matching (your effort or someone else's effort), then that is original research and cannot be used. Also keep in mind that some video games do not list English voice actors, and many video games just group the actors without matching any roles. There are also video interviews like THIS ONE which confirms Kirsten Potter, Stephanie Sheh, and Amanda Winn-Lee as voicing in the Trauma team game. Here's one he that confirms his role in Persona 4 Arena HERE -AngusWOOF (talk) 23:24, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Hey, on your latest update to the article, your reason for this was, and i quote 'note guilty gear ref is still a problem', and i just to know just one thing, how can i make it not a problem for this article? Because i can try to make it not a problem as much as it is now, i just don't know how, and besides that,  i found out that in the new game, Guilty Gear Xrd, yuri voices as bedman for the series, and i don't know how to prove it, so what should i do? :-( Norozco1 (talk) 21:52, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have a blog post from a reliable source, tweet from Lowenthal, or resume snapshot that lists his role in the series? A review from a major game magazine would be good too, or an interview where the interviewer lists the role and asks Lowenthal about it. -AngusWOOF (talk) 22:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

text: Hey thanks, i took your advice, and i tweeted him on twitter, so hopefully by tomorrow, i'll get a confirmation from him, Ok' :-) Norozco1 (talk) 22:59, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Even though a tweet or a resume update is a primary source, it's better than nothing, and can be scrutinized as public record.  Cite video game and cite episode works well for most credits except where they are grouped under "Additional Voices / Voice Talent". I've put in his BTVA references which were screenshots of closing credits. -AngusWOOF (talk) 17:10, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Finding better sources for the Guilty Gear series? 

message: In response to this revert, Yuri's roles in Skylanders need to be reviewed again for lack of references.
So far the only things that have been confirmed are:
* Yuri voices characters in Giants (2012), Swap Force (2013), and Trap Team (2014).
* The closing credits do not specify a specific role for any of the voice actors, listing them instead as Voice Actors or Voice Cast.
* Yuri voiced Fright Rider on Trap Team. (kidzcoolit source)
* Yuri voiced Softpaw and other characters (not specified which others) but is mainly known for Softpaw on Swap Force (coin op TV with Tara Platt)
IMDb, voice chasers, giantbomb, GameFAQs, and amateur voice matching youtube videos are not reliable sources.
To state that he voiced Fright Rider or other specific characters on all three games is WP:OR.  Since he doesn't have an online resume, if someone can ask him on Twitter or dig up some more interviews, that would be better. -AngusWOOF (talk) 05:17, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I understand, asking Lowenthal on Twitter would still comprise WP:OR, since we are not reporters. (I'm trying to dig up a specific guideline, though.) I'm not sure why there is such a push to include information that can't be adequately supported. Wikipedia is not a breaking news source and we have no deadline. If something cannot be verified, we should omit it until such time as a reliable source can support it. Not sure why this is so confusing. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:01, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

text: Well then, what do you think we should do to keep it from being omited? :-/ Norozco1 (talk) 15:13, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: When he has responded on Twitter to confirm/deny roles falls more in the WP:SELFPUB category; it would be OR if it were done through private media, although caution should be exercised if the person has a reputation of claiming falsehoods on their credits (not likely for Lowenthal himself so far)  -AngusWOOF (talk) 19:02, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

text: Yeah, that's actually true in some cases like this topic, but that's not exactly an answer to my previous question that i've just asked, ya know! :-/ Norozco1 (talk) 21:23, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

text: Although it TRUE we need to find the actual sources where he confirms the other Skylanders, it will be tedious work, as it will take months, to years until we gave up. To be quite honest I felt that in my opinion the "better source needed" tag was used a s an insurance to keep it intact until we find the actual reliable source.73.166.187.154 (talk) 23:24, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

text: Ok, then how do you suppose we find a better source for this, because you have to admit that yuri lowenthal is definitely in this game, you know that, right? :-/ Norozco1 (talk) 23:39, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

message: ok, I've notice that we have been having issues with the rowspanning of filmography entries, so let me tell you guys what happens with or without this option, so we'll start off what happens if we have this option, what happens with this option is that it's easy, takes less time to do it, and best of all, it takes less bytes then usual, but what happens without this option is that it's hard, takes much time to do it, and most importantly, it takes more bytes then usual, so that why I need you to answer this important question, would rather have this option on the Filmography entries, or without it?! :-/ Norozco1 (talk) 20:47, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I know it's easy to implement but it's got issues with WP:FILMOGRAPHY and MOS:DTT accessibility. Where there's an obvious benefit as with discography / singles and movie releases, I don't see the problem with rowspanning the years. However, with television programs that start and end in all sorts of durations, it gets complicated. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Here's Dave Wittenberg's resume  HERE which mentions "Utility Player" for covering the miscellaneous voices that would be credited as  "Additional Voices". In some shows and games, he voices 20-30 different minor characters but is considered a major part of the show because of that coverage. That he is keeping that on his resume for years means he thinks it's notable for his career. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:09, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: There are a HUGE number of unsourced characters and titles. I've tagged these as citation needed, but if they aren't filled in with reliable sources and they aren't a main character, they will be removed. I'm also embedding some comments as to the character's importance if they aren't linked.  AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:23, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see the reason to remove most of the minor incidental roles, and frankly sites like BTVA with a check mark have them credited along with several video game credits.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 14:28, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Not trying to generalize something here Angus, but I don't like how you are being dismissive on ONLY just listing the important roles and leaving out the other credits regardless if it has a reliable source (e.g. BTVA)--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 18:58, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not here to provide exhaustive lists of every role an actor has had, there are other sites that are well established if that is what you want. For an actor with such an exhaustive list of significant roles some common sense is necessary. The article already includes links to those alternative resources. I can't see anything wrong with Angus's actions or views here and the article looks all the better for taking that stance. If you don't like Angus's stance then that is your prerogative, but from a content perspective there is nothing wrong with it, and you seem to be the only person opposed to it. From a scan of the talk page and article history that you seem to be taking this rather personally and I would suggest that you [WP:AGF|Assume good faith]]. SephyTheThird (talk) 19:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: What I'm asking is that select reliable sources (video game credits, television credits, articles that feature this actor, and especially BTVA with the green check mark) shouldn't be removed even if what Anguswoof and you believe they shouldn't be here. I want all the roles credited which is why i used those sources--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 22:51, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  BTVA checkmarks do not necessarily mean that show or that Lowenthal's role is notable though. I've now provided reliable sources from Rooster Teeth for the two shows and roles that were contested today and were formerly deemed non-notable. The production company has used Lowenthal's name to promote their series and to promote their episode. This   has more weight to notability than the plain cite episode:   AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:04, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, but BTVA still verifies the role he was involved in, that's the point with the green check mark.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 15:55, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

text: Okay, maybe we can bring back the minor characters, but what about non-notable film productions? Outside of ones he produced, if he guested in some non-Wikipedia-notable media like the Kickstarter'ed video game, should that count? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:27, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

text: , even if it's the Kickstarter video games and animated shows or any indie project that he previously voiced in of that matter, it still counts & and has a reliable source that goes with it, ya know! :/  Norozco1 (talk) 01:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
