message: I had split the list of characters into two, because I got a message from Wiki telling me that the list had exceeded '61KB' and some users might have trouble reading it.

message: I just added the Openings & Endings section. I wasn't sure how to read the katakana ”ザ・マスミサイル” (the name of the group that did the 5th ending). If anyone has a better interpretation than "The Mass Missile", by all means correct it. Grenadier 16:13, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I've made a naruto profile box, check the template here, and use Uchiha Sasuke's profile as a template for how it's used. I think it'll be cleaner using this on all the profiles for the characters in the series. Havok 14:18, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Heights are shown to the nearest mm and weights to the nearest 0.1 kg. Is that how things are done in Japan? I would have thought heights would be to the nearest cm and weights to the nearest kg. Bobblewik  (talk) 09:02, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Naruto profile box 

message: Anyone want to help move the characters of great importance to the series to their own page. I just feel the character article is a bit... well, big. If anyone wants to help me do this, we could start with the characters who have their own page allready. Using the Naruto profile template would also be a good edition. The profile for either Naruto or Sasuke will show you have it will look. Havok 22:10, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: True true, I think we should just split the Naruto article into (manga) and (anime). And create an own article for the episode list. Havok 22:02, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character Profiles 

message: This is so random. Is there really a feud between DB and Naruto fans over whose is better? I don't get it. There not even the same plus it dosen't take a genius to figure out which one is more popular.
:While this is the first I ever heard of a feud between Dragon Ball and Naurto fans, I have heard of it being compared to Dragon ball due to Naruto's immense popularity, the length of the series, and the average I.Q among the fanboy/girlss. Since Dragon Ball also very large and popular like Naruto is now, a new anime/manga comes along and gains a lot of popularity among non or former Dragon Ball fans, a feud between the fans arguing over which is better is very believable. If there are two immensley popular fads, people will squabble between which one is better. In fact, since Naruto has become as popular as Dragon Ball was a few years ago, there are some non-fans saying that all the hype it is getting will turn it into the next Dragon Ball Z, especially with how the series has been going downhill for quite some time now, and how the pace of the anime has slowed that down to that of Dragon Ball Z proportions, so many people who wish to enjoy Naruto may just turn to the Manga, especially if they somehow find a way to make Sakura more irritating.
::I don't think there's a feud regarding which is "better", Naruto or DBZ (DBZ is too much past its prime for its fans to argue in its favour as a contemporary pleasure, and doesn't quite make for the perfect 'classic oldbie quality trumps contemporary garbage for the teeming masses' case, either). Actually, it's more along the lines of Naruto being compared to DBZ by its detractors with DBZ representing the embodiment of a very unique brand of suckage. You could say the series is going downhill... We haven't had a REALLY powerful moment since the chuunin exam arc ended (ie Orochimaru's arms pwned) and nothing remotely resembling robust character development ever since Naruto II begun (Hi I'm Naruto I have a new jacket now and stuff oh hi Sakura hi Shikamaru WTF everybody went Chunin oh whoa gotta go chase Akatsuki boom bang got them no wait I didn't wtf here we go again). I HATE the chase/fight plot formation with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Really. I'm starting to think Kishimoto has forgotten how to draw his characters when they're not running somewhere or hurt and about to mindlessly spam their most powerful technique. The last time a character actually thought ahead was back at Shikamaru vs. Temari. What the hell.
::Okay I'm done. --AceMyth 23:38, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
::P.S. I believe it has been mathematically proven that the function of Sakura's anime annoyingness is currently at its apex and may not rise further without bending the laws of physics.
:::Phew, I was woried for a bit that she'll get even more irritating in the English dub with the adding of a very bad voice actor. (If anyone's going to have bad voice acting aside from Naruto, it's her.)
:::Actually, Sakura has ceased to be annoying and is now starting to approach some level of cool. Volunteering as a human puppet to battle Sasori has that effect on you. At least she's not being a crybaby anymore. --Tjstrf 02:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's why I said anime annoyingness. --AceMyth 03:36, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
If DBZ is going to be compared to anything, it should be One Piece. OP characters have their jaws hang open in amazement/horror/anger like three-quarters of the episode. It's just like DBZ's gasp-he's-so-powerful, gasp-oh-no-we're-doom, gasp-gotta-fill-time-to-make-the-episode-30-mins. 205.174.22.28 01:25, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "You can't go around The Simpsons, you have to go through them." I have to admit that the last Naruto VS Sasuke anima fight mirrored DBZ strongly and that the characters are getting to a inhuman level in power, but that’s what made DBZ good. They’re not remaking the characters, just allowing similar laws of physics in another anima. If were looking for saged (an insultive reuse of) characters, lets try Bakuretsu Tenshi.

thread_title:  Why Dragonball vs Naruto? 

message: Please stop editting the page with useless or otherwise flamatory information. The previous iteration - before I replaced it with the last known legitimate information - was a naruto yaoi lemon. This is becoming rediculous and tedious.
Fix'd.
I would also like to ask that people do not remove the section on fan reaction of the dub without a propper explanation.

message: Does anyone know when the anime will start catching up with the manga - i.e. by leaping forward into the future by three years - and stop running what is essentially filler? Any clue how many episodes might be left before this happens? Thanks. --Brasswatchman 16:56, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Should this list really be here? Isn't it more logical to put this in the character articles?--JadziaLover 12:07, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Especially now that it's beginning to grow, I think that the voice actors should be limited to those characters with individual pages, and listed only on those pages. (You don't see a list of Japanese seiyu anywhere...) --Pentasyllabic 17:36, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  English Cast List 

message: I've added as section about ABS-CBN's broadcast of Naruto. I didn't have an account before in Wikipedia, an I've made that section before. Just today I found out it was deleted!!! I hope no one deletes the section again, and instead add information to it (for those who watch Naruto in the Philippines).  Thanks!!!  --PinoiBIGscientian 12:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed that section, because I don't think it should be on this page.--JadziaLover 12:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Then help me! Where should I put it??? Other anime recognised the broadcasting of the Philippines of that anime. I need help! --PinoiBIGscientian 12:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

text: Ahh you mean the article in Tagalog Wikipedia on Naruto? Well, I was also the one who made that article. I didn't have anaccount on Wikipedia when I made that. Oh yeah, for Naruto fans in the Philippines, go to Tagalog Wikipedia and search "Naruto". Then help me provide it with much information. --PinoiBIGscientian 13:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the InukoProject link from the external links, once again. That site is non-notable, and the only difference from other sites already listed is that is has a small cosplay section.
