message: I'm pretty sure Shinobu is 14 at the beginning of the anime
*A quick search on Google reveals that Shinobu is actually 13 at the start of the anime series. I'm not sure if it's the same with the manga though. Ikusawa 05:44, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Why don't we have pictures of the main characters? I would take some using the Love Hina DVDs I have, but I am not entirely certain they would comply with the picture policies... Jay

thread_title:  Pictures 

message: Not sure if this is considered canon or anything (or if any similiar plot development happens later in the manga), but in the Dreamcast game it is revealed that Kitsune is the promised girl (which actually makes some sense from the Anime since they both have the same color hair).
*I'm not familiar with the game, but in the manga, Naru turns out to be the promise girl. Minami-chan 21:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kitsune as the Promised Girl 

message: Hopefully we can vastly improve the Love Hina articles. Someone transferred and revised Keitaro's article. I started up Naru's article already and will work on that one until moving onto the rest of the girls. I only have several volumes of the manga and DVDs. The character notes at the end of each manga volume is great source material. Other legitimate citations and references to info is greatly appreciated. 
:Also if anyone can find more good images for characters that would be great as well. In particular Mei needs a new one. If not I can provide but it will take a while. -Fox816 03:33, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: I created an infobox for the characters. Refer to Naru's page for the code. Additionally I made a character template ((LoveHina characters)) remember to use the appropriate brackets for templates. The text within the () is correct, not the brackets. Fox816 03:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Don't you think Mutsumi's mom deserves a place in "minor characters"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by HighLight43 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, though she was only there for two pages. BobCatHKSS (talk) 03:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If her whole appearance consisted of two pages, she barely merits a mention in the volume's plot summary, much less her own section on the character list. If it's really necessary to mention her here at all, she should be mentioned in Mutsumi's section. 「ダイノガイ千？！」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a few characters that can be cut imo. Dandy Sephy (talk) 18:24, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A LOT could be cut, from the looks of it.  Now that I'm getting close to finished with the YYH characters I may come in here and trim this down. StryyderG 23:30, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't worry about it too  much just yet, at least not until the references are improved. Otherwise it's not likely to show massive quality improvements, as it will have to be redone around the references at a later time. I would say refs are the priority, and would make it much easier. Thats makes it much easier to remove opinion/OR, which makes it easier to reduce.  Dandy Sephy (talk) 03:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Natsumi Otohime 

message: I found some references to add, some of the info in the characters though might have to be rewritten a bit here. The info of the charactors is how they appear in the manga/anime.

replies: text: Unfortunately all of those sources are unreliable. One is a fan site , one just rips off text from other websites and the last one is just a random site - not exactly AnimeNewsNetwork or AnimeOnDvd in terms of reliability. Any use of those 3 sources will be reverted because they fail wikipedia policy (WP:RS). Dandy Sephy (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well I dont see anyone else comming forward to help this article, the problem with characters in a book is that they can be told diffrently by diffrent people. Its an issue on so many manga articles.Knowledgekid87 7:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are 14volumes of manga that can be used for sourcing, at least half of the article can be referenced with those. It does take time however and I'm still taking a break from major edits to Love Hina articles after getting Love Hina to a B class. Some of this article also needs rewriting. it would be a great help if people could add references from the manga Dandy Sephy (talk) 14:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Manga references are hard to find, but I can look for them to help out, what is currently on this page is fanput information. If you cant find the references, fan made references that isnt opinion based and that most people who read the manga can agree with is good too for this article. Not having any references is worse than having something to work with that people can agree on.Knowledgekid87 16:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: of course they aren't hard to find, anyone who owns the manga can reference most of the article if they can spare a couple of hours. Yes there is WP:OR, but once half the article is referenced, it becomes much easier to accurately determine if something is opinion or "fact". If an event or detail is in the manga, it is sourceable. Other details are sometimes found in the official reference books, I can check those myself (see my reference addition for Haruka for an example). The first thing to do is start referencing what is already in the article with the manga or anime (or if someone has the inclination and inclination, rewrite individual characters while simultaneously sourcing). Anything else on a page-wide level should come after that. Additions that are not referenceable from reliable resources will be removed if identified as unreliable. It doesn't matter if people "agree" to use a "fact",  If it's an unreliable source, it's not valid for use on wikipedia. Dandy Sephy (talk) 21:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some Helpful References 

message: Three years or four years? In the manga before the "Four years later" statement it is late August 2001. I know the date is mentioned. My memory is the 21st. After the "Four years later" statement no date is mentioned, but the cherries are in bloom. Ken Akamatsu's diary at ailove.com on April 5th 2005 (memory, need to check, correct within a day) congratulated Keitaro and Naru on their wedding.  I saved the text. So "three years, eight months" is closer than "three" or "four".  And that should go down to a footnote, but I don't know how to do that. C2equalA2plusB2 (talk) 02:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The manga says four years, anything else will be Original research as you will be coming up with a hypothesis from combining a web site with the manga. I would expect the "four years" was just a loose statement, I really don't think it was trying to be specific, and challenging that would require a proper reliable source explicitly stating it. A footnote would still be creating a hypothesis. I don't see how anything over then "four years" is necessary. There are bigger issues on the article then being specific over such a thing.
