Talk:Rec (manga)

message: Some One of the images looks really squashed :Image:ティファニーで朝食を.png. It's closer to 2:1 aspect ratio than to 16:9 (It's 0.51!) --Squilibob 13:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I changed it from REC to Rec because looking at the manga, it seems that the e and c in the title are lowercase and not uppercase.--Juhachi 20:48, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: So right now, we have a manga and an anime where the amount of unique information for the anime is low enough as to not need a separate article.  How is this handled normally?  This has been now labeled Rec (manga) but still includes the anime info, which to other eyes can be awkward if not misleading, especially since the anime is a fair amount of the length of the article if not the content.  Also, if this truly wants to be an article on the manga, then pictures from the manga should probably be used and not *just* pictures from the anime.  Are cases like this normally handled by labeling it (manga) when you don't have a separate anime article and the anime is included?  Or should it perhaps be labeled manga/anime?
Also, some further information on the rest of REC might be good... the series has been over so we could maybe go into some of what happened under a spoiler tag, and the manga continues on well past that point.  Also, the title seems to be accepted as REC in many sources, so I'm not sure "Rec" is more than just the style of the letters rather than the intention, but I'm not necessarily suggesting to change that.
Maybe if this becomes an article on the greater scope of the manga, an anime subsection can be in the article that covers the particulars of the anime, including its opening song, unique format, and having pictures of the anime representations of the leads, as well as just how far it generally gets (and what it doesn't do in the chunk of the story it bothers to adapt)... while the rest of the article speaks to the manga as a whole.
I'm thinking out loud here for what others think might be the right direction for this article.  It's not a stub, but it's just start-class and could certainly grow in at least some of the ways I suggested.  I was an early contributor to this article but it's been a long time since then.  Lots of good has been done, I just wanted to fire off some of these ideas.  72.192.237.134 05:05, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally we stick with whatever "()" the article started with, and cover everything in the franchise (?) until the article gets too long. As for your ideas, yeah, sounds good. Be bold. - mako 08:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, without going in to how.. I've managed to read up through chapter 11 of the manga... and the anime tapped various material from the first seven chapters.  As for going with what it started with, I think it used to be REC (anime) but is now REC (manga) (actually, Rec) ... some issues: 1) I can get manga images, but I don't know how to make sure the rationale is good legally for fair use 2) the restructuring I proposed would take me some time... 3) also, I've also only read *so far* past where the anime went just yet. ... for the images, I'd need to know that, and for the rest, well, I think either I'd need some time, at which point I'll be able to prepare something like that, and I'll possibly need to read some more, or I'd need help from those who've read further.  72.192.237.134 22:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Fumihiko Matsumaru.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
