thread_title:  Question 

message: I think the paragraph about what a knight means in reference to Shikamaru should be changed. Other translations explain what Asuma meant in much more detail. What’s up there now is a little lacking. This gives a more accurate translation. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/Spooky21/316_13.gif --Dasherman 20:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tayuya, a man? 

message: Nara Shikamaru → Shikamaru Nara – As pointed out in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga#Naruto_character_article_titles, the current names for articles about Naruto characters are inconsistent with the names used for other anime characters (Naruto characters use Japanese order for names, while most other anime characters have their name in Western order), as well not following the naming guidelines in WP:MOS-JA.

thread_title: Requested move

message: Wasn't it a little hasty to remove Ino, Shika, and Chouji's team affiliation? Asuma still referred to them as a team up until chapter 317 and they were clearly going on missions with each other post time-skip. Considering their father's close ties, it's highly unlikely they will go their separate ways and will probably form a second generation of ino-shika-chou. And almost everyone still identifies them as a team. Why should they be any different than other chuunin teams like Team 7, 8, or Team Gai? I believe their current team should be added back, obviously minus Asuma, until we have some definitive word that they won’t be working together. Dasherman 21:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Current Team?

message: It seems like the last five modifications of this page concerned the same bit of article: Shikamaru's phrase. Some people kept changing it to "Live each day quietly", while I never saw him say such a thing in the anime or manga. Does it come from the databook? Or am I right to think it is still "How troublesome"? ImPhil 22:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Shikamaru's favorite phrase

message: In chapter 96, Shikamaru explains that any damage done to someone trapped in his shadow possession hurts him too. How come this didn't happen at any other time, like when he gave Kin a concussion, or blew up Hidan? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.136.170.126 (talk) 01:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It only mimics movement. Chalk that up to a simple continuity error. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 01:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Does it actually say that it hurts him? Or just that it forces him to move like they do if something acts on them? So, when Naruto puched Gaara, it snapped Shikamaru's head to one side. That would make more sense. Retlor 12:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been enough evidence to show that it only effects movement. A recent example. When Izumo and Kotetsu stabbed Hidan on both sides with their giant kunai, Shika still had on the kage mane. Dasherman 22:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Can someone confirm or deny for me whether or not Kage Mane was still active when Asuma decapitated Hidan?  If it's confirmed, it should be the last nail to the coffin for this debate =/ -- Seraphchoir 12:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hidan was bound with Shadow Sewing at the time, which has no impact on Shikamaru's movements. ~SnapperTo 19:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  Not so, when Gaara got punched by Naruto in the Exam, Shikamaru's head jerked back with Gaaras.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.198.111.151 (talk) 01:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly, he felt the pain of it, but...how about this. If Naruto had punched him hard enough to give him a black eye, shikamaru would feel pain, but not have a black eye. Either that, or they just said that at the hospital for comic relief without even really thinking about it. I'm leaning more towards the latter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.69.48 (talk) 21:57, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Shikamaru's Picture 

message: His dad said this to him in the last english dub episode. He also said something about men being no good without women. What is this suppose to mean? What does it have to do with Shikamaru's character?
: The history of the men in the Nara clan (the two that were shown, anyways. Does that count?) have a history of being whipped by women. Shikatou is dominated by his bossy wife, while Shikamaru's main two ships (Temari and Ino) are equally annoying. Without the "Even the toughest..." quote, it would seem as through Shikatou is forced to marry and does not love his wife.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.102.97 (talk) 04:06, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

message: I know it states that it's "over 200." But is there an actual number in the databook? Like 212, 230, or something specific? Or could it be some ridiculous made up number like Ami Mizuno from Sailor Moon. I believe they said her's was 300 which is not even possible. Copy Ninja1 18:53, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Given the current trend of supporting characters being merged into the Konoha team article, I will be merging this article with the List of major Konoha teams article. Can anyone think of a super important reason why he shouldn't be merged like the rest? Gailim 06:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I'm only going to post this once, hopefully the message spreads throughout. Neji, Lee, and Shikamaru all have done much MUCH more than the other characters on the Konoha 11 page. Just look at the info on those pages, and on the Konoha 11 page, if given articles, they would be stubs, they WERE stubs. I really don't see this debate holding much water.--TheUltimate3 20:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: Why do we have IGN telling us who this character is, when they truly have no canonical right to judge for themselves, at least not to the extent that it deserves a mention. anyone else agree that line needs to go?74.250.10.15 (talk) 07:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a reliable secondary source that presents an out-of-universe perspective on the character. Examples of reliable secondary sources show the character is notable and deserves to keep their article. For instance, the Neji and Rock Lee articles were merged because they were filled with in-universe information. Sid122 talk 08:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Last part in reception... 

message: During the timeskip arc in the story (Naruto Shippuden), Asuma dies. His and Kurenai's child is still waiting to be born, and I believe that Shikamaru vows some kind of responsibility over the child. Does this mean that he's a godfather? Shika8 (talk) 22:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I wasn't involved in the decision to merge Neji and Lee into the Major characters article, but Shikamaru's page seems to be perfectly solid. It contains information on his reception (although more info would certainly help there), references outside of the series, a good overview of the character and his role, and comments from Kishimoto himself. About the only thing the article is noticeably lacking is information on the design of him, and I'm unsure if Kishimoto has ever provided such information. If it does exist somewhere, it should be added in. Deleting a character's page because another character doesn't have a page is not a good move, and it violates Wikipedia policy.Kuwabaratheman (talk) 10:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
