Talk:Inuyasha/Archive 2

message: For those of you who may have missed the little box on the article page, we do, in fact, have our own wikicity now: http://inuyasha.wikicities.com
This means that we now have something akin to an InuYasha-specific Wikipedia at our disposal, and now NOTHING InuYasha related is too obscure to warrant a page.

thread_title: A wiki all our own

message: In the wikipedia article on Inu Yasha, found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuyasha
It states that there is an episode #168 available only in Japan.
The most popular/frequented websites on the Inu Yasha anime do not list or mention this episode, neither do the various fansub sites that have followed and translated the Inu Yasha anime.
Can I please have further information on this reference?
Thank you

replies: text: Thanks. I'll remove that mention then, I guess. One thing though...shouldn't it be mentioned that the series ended unexpectedly at episode 167 and statements were made to the effect that it will likely be continued some time in the future? Hairouna 00:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe so it is too simplistic to call it shonen (As it is currently in the introduction). I think it  tries to bridge the gap between martial arts themed shonen and romantically themed shojo anime. I would say that it is slanted towards shojo as it has some strong feminist themes and the main character, title name not withstanding, is a girl. --Omnicog 00:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Before you jump and think Inu Yusha is up for deletion, it isnt. Kiddy Grade is, but unfortunately the discussion has started to critise this article too. And in order to delete the Kiddy Grade articles they would have to do the same here. It is of note because, obviously, you don't want that to happen.
This is quote from one of the people:
"I don't want to be rude and please don't take this is gnawing the newbies or assuming ill intentions of an editor. I don't, it's not the editor, it's the culture. But there has been a pervasive explosion of these character articles in Anime articles. They contain little chunks of information, but only seem to exist to hold an image and an infobox on the character and to fill out a character navagation template...
I have half a mind to say delete the lot of them and start from scratch .. but I'd only push for that if we could throw in the similarly formatted character articles from OMG, IY, and Tenchi as well. They were all created in the same manner, and it's not well suited to the wikipedia. First off, they contain way too many pictures and (some of them) seem to only exist because an infobox was able to be created for the article. But, I will not be mean to the information and I will push for a SUPER speedy merge These articles fall under the auspices of the WP:FICTION which give a wonderful steps on how to create such pages. Also, a aticle like Eclair and Lumiere (Kiddy Grade) contains WAY too many photos and is a definite violation of the fair use policy. It needs a lot of trimming regardless of the outcome of this debate. I would vote to Delete the Kiddy Grade Infobox and navigation templates, if I could."

thread_title:  Names 

message: I've marked a number of statements and whole paragraphs which could use references. There where at least three areas that I identified as original research and should either be rewritten using reliable sources or removed. The Criticism section needs to be completely rewritten to remove all use of weasel words. The same goes for the first sentence in the Artwork quality section, which also uses a weasel word. And finally, I find the Popularity section to be far to US and Canadian centric. Why does US/Canadian popularity gets 3 to 4 large paraphrase, Japan gets 1 small paragraph and everyone else is smashed into one tiny paragraph, the latter two appearing to be tacked on as an afterthought? It should be much less focused on US/Canadian popularity and much more attention should be paid to popularity in other countries, especally Japan. --TheFarix (Talk) 02:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Name Dispute

message: It was rather conspicuous to me that in the box at the right where it shows which television networks carry the show and where, there are flags of Latvia, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, and Estonia with the caption "MY3TB" (an apparent Volapük Encoding of "МузТВ"), when I was under the impression that the show was not licensed in that region. This piqued my curiosity, so I started reading things on that network's online forums, as well as a couple of other Russian-language anime web forums, and found absolutely no evidence that the show has ever been broadcast in either Russia or Ukraine (or presumably the others), nor that any plans have been made to do so. Also, none of the anime licensing companies there make any direct mention of the series. The edit putting that in was made on 2006-07-02 from 201.225.167.12, an IP address in Panama. I'm not sure whether it's a bizarre hoax or what, but it needs to be investigated and/or verified somehow. Google shows that a great many websites have already copied this strange datum from Wikipedia. I don't know how this has managed to get overlooked for three whole months while great care has been taken of things in the article that are much more subtle. Ok, I'll stop talking now... 66.218.54.163 09:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to make sure I'm understanding you, you're saying that you don't think the show is airing in those countries, right?  What's the significance of "МузТВ"?  CPitt76 15:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I doubt it's airing there, but I have no conclusive proof that it's not. From what I can tell, the only anime known to television audiences there (not counting otakus) for many years was Sailor Moon. MTV Russia was receiving for localization much of the same programming as MTV networks in other countries, including some anime. As a result, they apparently became the first television network to broadcast anime outside of the Sailor Moon franchise in Russia. MTV Russia has a competitor called МузТВ which decided to copycat this by showing anime series between music videos. MC Entertainment is the oldest (and until recently, the only) anime licensing company over there, in the business of producing and selling R5 DVDs. They had a long-standing stated policy of not licensing "long" anime series, much to the dismay of fans of series as long as Fullmetal Alchemist and longer. Recently, МузТВ signed a deal for broadcast licenses from MC Entertainment for a lot of anime and began to air it, including titles not available on MC Entertainment DVDs. One of those is Fushigi Yūgi, which seems to go against that policy. Despite all these developments, InuYasha does not appear to have been licensed. 66.218.54.163 17:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

text: If you doubt the validity of the info, feel free to remove it.  If someone wants to put it back, we can discuss further.  CPitt76 00:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: WP has an "if in doubt, remove" policy? Could've fooled me. Anyway, that doesn't sound like a very workable policy for a wiki. I would hope that some verification one way or the other may be obtained before taking any action, so as to give the decision some meaning, rather than having it be completely arbitrary. BTW, you seem to be the only one posting to this talk page recently. Has everyone else just lost interest in the series or something? Looks like the prospects for an OVA keep getting bleaker and bleaker... 66.218.54.163 00:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you're saying the research you did shows that those countries are not seeing the show.  That's enough verification to warrant removal, again, unless I am missing what you're saying.  Not sure why others havent been contributing.  Could be that they feel the article doesn't need much improvement.  CPitt76 00:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Per our verifiability policy, if there is no way to verify the information, it must be removed. Some users use the  or  tag to gain some time, to give opportunity for other editors to find sources. However, if after some time the information could not be verified, it must be removed. Note that Jimbo Wales stated that Zero information is preferred to misleading or false information, especially in articles about living persons.

message: My question regards a piece under the subtitle "Production broadcast history." The final line reads:
"In the United States, the final episode of InuYasha aired on October 27, 2006. The series is scheduled to begin its second run starting on December 25, 2006."
Why is there no reference for the December 25th "second run starting" date? Or, more vaguely, is there even conclusive evidence that there is going to be a second run, much less one starting so soon? In any event, this needs to be cited, because I spent a few minutes trying to google up evidence for this, and came up with nothing but idle speculation. If no citation can be provided, it needs to be cut.
