message: The reason why the episode list link disables the ref is that it adds a wikilink tag around the number, which leads to a markup error. But seriously, does the article really need a reference for the number of episodes? ^^; Of course, "everything should be referenced" is the official morning mantra of all Wikipedians but this is driving it into paranoia IMO. No featured anime article currenty references its episode number in the infobox (and I can't recall any of them to ever have done it). --Koveras ☭ 10:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So that's the reason... great, I learned something new lol. Anyway, this was referenced because at the time it was a controversial issue: people changed the number of episodes all the time, to 28 or 29, depending of which release or version they watched. But maybe this won't happen now so let's re-add the episode list and see. Kazu-kun (talk) 10:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead already details the situation with the different episode counts, so changing them in the infobox should constitute an act of vandalism... If it continues, however, we can use editor comments to ask the newcomers to read the lead first. AFAIK the editor comments are mostly harmless to markup. --Koveras ☭ 11:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference for the number of episodes 

message: Is it worth noting .hack//SIGN's many many references to both eastern and western culture? It's fairly rare to see an anime that references Samuel Beckett and Roman Holiday amongst other pop culture topics. The only anime I've seen that's more referential is Serial Experiments Lain. I just wondered if it deserved a mention or something.

thread_title:  Cultural references? 

message: Why are the different .hack anime and manga articles so disconnected?
I was wonder when which ones there were and which were made in what order, but the articles are all over the place and seem to almost ignore the relevance of each other.
They need to be organized so that people can understand which ones are which and their relation to each other. Repku (talk) 23:39, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's somewhat explained in the .hack series article.  Unfortunately, that series article needs quite a bit of work as well.  The manga/novel series aren't directly related to .hack//sign so this would probably be more appropriate for the talk page of the series article.  --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 12:32, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm opening this discussion on behalf of my fellow editors:
* Rainbowofpeace - diff "Added Transgender and Transsexual-related anime and manga since this is strongly implied by the anime"
* KirtZJ - diff (reverted edit) "You cant base assumptions on implications especially since people are allowed to play as transgender characters in video games."
* Rainbowofpeace - diff (re-reverted) "Ok he was called he the entire anime and when someone implied he might be a girl he got angry. And either way its still-crossgendering like Ranma."
* KirtZJ - diff (re-re-reverted) "That single instance is too small to merit these categories and is still your assumption."
:, Hey, guys.  I've not seen this anime.  If the argument for placing this series into Category:Transgender and transsexual-related anime and manga is based on an observation that people insulted the male character by calling him a girl, I would tend to agree that that absolutely does not warrant the inclusion of this series in a transgender category.  The Transgender category appears to include works that contain transgender THEMES.  Jokes/insults are not themes.  Further, this sort of thing should probably be documented externally, and we should not be relying on personal interpretation to make the call.  Are there any reliable sources that discuss the transgender/transsexual themes?  Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:07, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I wish to explain why I think it should be in there. Tsukahara honestly thought he was a guy and showed no gender dysphoria as a guy even though he was born a girl. However in the cases when people would suggest he was a girl he would angrily deny it. In fact when he found out he might be a girl he seemed upset. I think the fact that he felt so confortable as a guy and was so determined that he wouldn't be perceived as a girl could at suggest transgender themes. There is also the possible relationship that is implied with Saburu (notice I said possible). I think that should at least make you think about the possibility. I will look for sources but I definitely think that you should at least see my point of view even if you don't agree with it.-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 10:59, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This seems to fall directly into the world of original research.  It's not up to us as editors here to make suppositions and explore thematic possibilities.  Our duties are to incorporate verifiable information.  If reviewers from reliable sources have discussed these ideas in a significant way, then it might be worth including. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 11:12, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I already said I'm looking for sources. As for your original research accusation read it. It says very clearly that it does not apply to talk pages. I'm going to be searching for sources. I just wanted other editors to know why I had come to the conclusion I have.-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 11:22, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you are mis-perceiving my tone. There are no "accusations". I'm only clarifying my position by specifically mentioning the Wikipedia policy against "original research".  Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:56, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize for my misinterpretation. However I will try to find sources before I add it again but the original research states that it doesn't apply to talk pages. So while I don't expect you to agree I was asking if you could see why I think its transgender related.-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 23:53, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
