thread_title:  Manga Chapters 

message: I am considering adding story synopsis for each chapter???  Little reluctant to do that since the US publishers have only put out the first half dozen volumes: readers who haven't been able to read the story past the current English versions might get upset.  Maybe if I have a BIG spoiler alert before the descriptions?
All listings are from the original Japanese books; and the chapter heading translations are mine.  If they aren't the same as the US versions, it's all on me.

message: I just want to say goodjob, and that the Suzuka wikipedia entry has gone a long way in just a few months.  So far though, not a single article is perfect yet, and I just want to give a general idea of what still needs to be added:
Main PageThe description of characters in general still needs to be improved, and general descriptions of other pages as well.  In addition, things like theme and analysis as well as connections to culture could be added for greater effect, as well as some trivia and popularity facts.
Main CharactersEach main character should have a section on discription, and a bigger section on plot, and really minor characters, such as the cat, should go under their respective character page, or in this case, Yamato's page.  Yamato's page can also include more on his family, rather than putting them in the minor character's page, since they almost never show up.  Likewise for Suzuka's family.  The character pages also need trivia, and i would say the best friend for these would be the character profile pages included in the manga.  The plot could be split into sections by arc, and contain personality changes and analysis.
Music PageThe music page is pretty good, maybe a lyrics section, and better COACH description and background.
Manga ChaptersHere, this page is not yet considered an article.  One of my goals will be to include enough information about the manga to make it article-worthy, such as manga development and trivia.  Publisher background and popularity, as well as kandansho (or what ever it was) background.  
:Since I've taken on this part of the Suzuka project, I'll expand the page into "Article" status.  Don't think I'm going to bother with the Kodansha publisher info though...  I'll stick to stuff that directly relates to the Suzuka manga series.  I probably WILL add the writer's (Seo Kouji) insights towards his creation tho.  --fizzman 19:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I know I screwed up the formatting, but I don't know how the references, and div tags work.  Yet.  When I figure it out, I'll fixit.  --fizzman 22:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference Section 

message: After doing another review of the article and copyediting some minor points, I had the thought to do a check on extra media that may exist that may not be present in this article. Sometimes editors may miss drama CDs, or additional light novels or what not that may have been created on the series, and these are things that should be included for a GA class article.
That said, I did a quick look of the Japanese wiki page and found that a light novel had indeed been published in May 2007. Here's a link to it and here it is at amazon. It seems to have been written by Ayumu Fujisaki, and contains 12 pages within the book that were illustrated by Kouji Seo. Include this and other pertanent information about the light novel in the media section (and add the light novel box to the infobox) and I think that will do it for the GA review.--十八 00:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA re-review; not yet 

message: Okay, I'll pass the article now. Good work, and try to keep the article's quality up with making sure to copyedit any additions in order to keep consistancy throughout the whole article. And of course, added information in reception or anything related to an out-of-universe perspective are always needed.--十八 04:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In the Chinese Wiki in it's infobox it states Singapore publisher called Creative (創藝) also produces the manga, but I can't find any secondary source to back this up. Does anybody know if this is true or not? (Duane543 03:49, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're looking for Chuang Yi. A quick google search suggests that they probably do publish the manga in Singapore. --Squilibob 14:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I checked their catalog and they don't have Suzuka. So I think it may be an error on the Chinese Wiki site. (Duane543 16:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I already checked Chuang Yi catalog. Discussing on Chinese wiki would not work considering that I can't read and write in Chinese. (Duane543 21:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
