message: I am not sure what the title of the artile should be. It can be:
*"Inuyasha"
*"Inu yasha"
*"Inu Yasha"
*"Inu-Yasha"
*"Inu-yasha"
Anyone know a convension? -- Taku 17:56 Jan 11, 2003 (UTC)
Seems that Cartoon Network refers to the show as "Inuyasha" which is also the way I've seen it formatted in fansubs.  I think, really, it's left to individual preference. - Darkwind 08:04 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)
I agree with Inuyasha if Cartoon Network uses it. And Google also returns more results with Inuyasha than Inu-yasha. -- Taku 16:02 31 May 2003 (UTC)
Cartoon Network, uses "InuYasha"  - is that difference significant enough to change the title? (The original Japanese page at  uses INUYASYA, using the Kunrei-shiki method of romanization - we use Hepburn, only adding to the confusion, but they use INUYASHA when referring to the English release.) Not only that, but Viz Communications, the manga publisher, uses "Inuyasha" here and "Inu Yasha" here. 
I've reworked a lot of the page,  using InuYasha, which I prefer because it seems to be the "official" version.
Also, I find the explanation of time travel to be rather awkward - given the preceding summary, is it really necessary? I slipped the 50 years bit into the preceding section but I am loathe to simply delete the time travel section, and I can't figure out how to reword it to be less awkward. Anyone have any suggestions? Yelyos 08:20, Mar 21, 2004 (UTC)
Double capitalization is a common routine for marketing hype. The cartoon network example should probably be overlooked for this reason. If you do a search for 'inuyasha' on google, you will find that most people type it "Inuyasha". Furthermore, in my experience of browsing Inuyasha materials, the most respectful and praisful are labelled either "Inuyasha" or "Inu Yasha". -- Tyln 12:57, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: What happened to the debate about moving this to Inuyasha? Kingturtle removed the request from Wikipedia:Votes for deletion with the comment that it was "resolved", but I can't find where this happened. The details should go on the talk page, really. -- Oliver P. 01:29 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
:Maybe we could ask an admin to move this page... Emperorbma 06:46 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
::I think it's possible for one of us to move it, since Inuyasha is only a redirect.  Since that seems to be the spelling convention we've settled on, perhaps we should do so? It involves editing all the links which point to Inu-yasha however... though a lot of them are actually formmated as Inuyasha, so it probably wouldn't be that hard. --Darkwind 18:18 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I've deleted the redirect (it had a history, but that consisted only of redirects), and moved the page to Inuyasha. I've also corrected the double redirect that the move created, but not the links in other pages. I'll leave that to someone who understands what this is all about... -- Oliver P. 11:54, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

message: OK, I've been rolling this idea around a while.  Perhaps we should consolidate the character pages into one page like Evangelion general charactersNeon Genesis Evangelion main characters, especially since someone deleted Kagome and replaced it with a stub...
*Recreated it at Kagome Higurashi, since the Kagome article disambig'd it there... -- Emperorbma 21:17, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: I've replaced the earlier statement (that "the manga was released in Japan and the United States simultaneously", which is incorrect) with a short publication history.

message: Does Myoga's name have a long vowel on the 'o'? The article had a macron on one use of the name, but not another. I added a macron to the other instance of the name, since I think that it does have a long vowel, but I can't be sure. Does anyone know? -- Josh
:Never mind, I researched it and it is Myōga. -- Josh 05:21, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
I bought three of the Inuyasha movies, two are in Japanese with English subs... In one or both, they spell Myoga 'Mika'... which is correct? They also spelled Kilala(Kirara) Kumou or something... Was it just a repeated typo? Angoli107@aol.com
Where did you get them from? Did you get them from VIZ? Or was it a Chinese sub? WhisperToMe 17:25, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Correct Romanization of Myoga/My&#333;ga

message: I already mentioned this on the Jûromaru talk page, but I'm posting it here, so more people will see it.
I think that the 'Jûromaru' article should be moved to 'Juromaru', because it conflicts with the policy of not putting diacritics in article titles. Thoughts, anyone? -- Josh 06:19, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
The name is read as Juroumaru, not Juuromaru, so I think you're right.

message: 2 requests for information:
1. Perhaps we could list the names of the Spanish voice actors as well. Does anyone know who they are?
2.I think it would be interesting to see how many countries InuYasha is shown in. Japan, of course, and Canada and the US. And some Latin American countries as well, although I don't know which ones. -Litefantastic 16:06, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Can someone please get the English InuYasha logo? WhisperToMe 00:21, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I have two pictures that might work. The first is a screenshot from one of the video game ads on the InuYasha DVDs. The second is a cropped version of the "hot pink" wallpaper on the Adult Swim website. I think there might be copyright issues with the second one, though. Please let me know if you decide to use them (or not), so that I can take them off of my website. Josh | Talk 04:00, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC) Edited to remove links to my website that do not work anymore. Josh | Talk 05:29, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)
I would like the first second screenshot WhisperToMe 04:14, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: Okay, I uploaded the picture and it is now at :Image:InuyashaLogo.png. Josh | Talk 05:22, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)
*I just uploaded a new logo that contains both the English logo and the Japanese one (:Image:InuyashaDualLogo.JoshG.png). I was thinking it might be more appropriate for the beginning of the article than the English one that is currently there. What does everyone else think? Josh | Talk 06:22, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)
**Maybe. I think it would render the English logo redundant (although the Japanese one is still used on the InuYasha template) - that may or may not be your intention. -155.42.91.56 12:31, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Can someone please check to make sure that the kanji and dates that I posted in the video game section are correct? I'm pretty sure that they are, but I just want to be sure. It's hard for me to verify them myself, since I don't know Japanese. Josh | Talk 23:42, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
*Verified (altho I am not a 日本人 either, I do study it as a hobby ;)... -- EmperorBMA|話す 05:06, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Video game information 

message: * Is it better to put screenshots on character pages or to make drawings of the characters for them? I plan to put a graphic on every character page, except perhaps the stubs, so I would like to know what people would prefer. I could do either one, but the downside to using screenshots is that they would have to be fair use. The downside to using drawings is that they would not look exactly like the character. Plus, I'm not entirely sure that drawing a 'rendition' of a character would really even improve the copyright situation, since it might be considered a derivative work of InuYasha, which, of course, is copyrighted. Although a drawing might not be a derivative work. I'm not a lawyer, so I don't really know for certain. Josh 23:05, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
**I vote for screenshots. Having an actual picture of anything is (in most situations, excepting things like cross-sections) the better of the two options. -Litefantastic 00:51, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
