Talk:Blade of the Immortal

message: i wish we (or the main writer) could post thumbnails next to the character descriptions...that would really help in identifying who is who, making it more of a character guide.
I agree there is a good head to toe pic of each character dispersed throughout the trades displaying them would help people know who’s who and give good examples of the artistic quality present in the book.

replies: text: Since this hasn't been addressed yet -- I have the Japanese volume 15, which has several pages of small head shots of most of the characters, in order of introduction, with their names in kanji. I'll cut out some individual pictures from scans of those pages and put them into the character descriptions; they won't be very large, so they shouldn't mess up the formatting of the article.--Madame Manga 20:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've put in head shots of Manji and Rin. How does that look? A good size? I could keep it consistent, or make the pics smaller for minor characters. These are taken out of a multi-page character list in the Japanese volume 15. All of those are color-coded to show who is affiliated with whom (Itto-ryu, Mugai-ryu, unaligned, and so on); I could put in an explanatory line to that effect. --Madame Manga 21:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the headshots, though they are a bit large. I noticed that Itto-Ryu section was a bit distorted with the Magatsu section being pushed to the center of the page, so I did a little editing to fix it. If you add more though that could become a bit of a problem and is probably something to look out for. Otherwise I'm all for the headshot idea. --LostPhrack 12:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The center of the page? Hmm -- I did some formatting on the first pass to solve that very problem, so the layout probably shifts according to how wide the browser window is set. The main trouble with that section is that Anotsu doesn't have enough text to fit his picture. The only fix that the various help pages suggest for that problem, which is apparently a common one... is adding more text! Certainly an option for him, since he rates a larger entry anyway. Yes, I was thinking that the supporting characters might rate smaller pics, and that would solve a few formatting problems. My monitor is set to 1280x1024, which is probably a little high compared to the average user.--Madame Manga 19:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

text: If it helps at all, the current version's looking fine on my monitor (1152x864) --LostPhrack 11:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good, then it worked! I gave up on flowing the text around the images, and settled for putting each on its own line. Not precisely what I had in mind, but at least that doesn't break anything. I've got a lot more headshots to install, though I will concentrate on the more prominent recurring characters. --Madame Manga 04:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: wiki newb question:  more pictures

message: In makis description is written, that she is Anitsus lover. I do not agree on that point. She is is love with Anotsu, but he does not love her. he only admires her for being so skilled with the sword. I'd like to change that in her description.

thread_title: about maki being a lover

message: Anotsu's actions and words as of the "Dreamsong" arc, as well as his actions after Makie's intervention near the end of the "Last Blood" arc seem to indicate more than admiration of her skill on his part. While I agree that "lovers" is too broad and general a term, it's also unfair to dismiss the relationship as having no romantic undertones whatsoever.

thread_title: I disagree entirely

message: I think we should move towards giving major, and possibly later supporting and minor characters their own articles, and then a category. This would, in my opinion, help the article to be much more complete and informative. I was part of the project to do the same for Guilty Gear characters, and I think that this was a resounding success. I'd love it if I didn't have to do this alone.

replies: text: I don't know if there's an overt template per se, but, as I've said, there's a basic template for Guilty Gear characters, and whoever did the Street Fighter 3 characters did it really well, too. There doesn't appear to be a uniform policy, so as long as it looks good and presents the information well, it should be fine. Digital Watches 07:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Individual Character Articles

message: So, apparently the articles been marked for clean up. I couldn't find anymore info on it though so I'm not sure what needs to be fixed. I was thinking of removing the notes in the story arc section though, they're just glossary material from the books and serve no real purpose here. LostPhrack 20:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll do a little work on the appearances, I'm limited to the first six volumes at the moment. I'd still prefer to remove the notes material, but that's just me. So yeah, I'll get started on appearances. LostPhrack 21:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The article's been tagged with an expert request.  Does anyone know what type of expert is needed? - 9muses 16:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expert Request? 

message: I'd like to remove the Glossary section entirely. Just about every word listed in it appear only there, making me wonder.. what's the point to it? It's essentially a lists of words with no relevance to the rest of the article. -- LostPhrack 09:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I say go for it. -- 9muses 10:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, since you're for it and no one's spoken against the idea after several days.. it's gone. --LostPhrack 04:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Glossary? 

message: I tagged the art section with the  template, because it sounds like a review of the manga rather than a factual, verifiable description of the art and the production process. It's almost entirely laudatory, and contains no sources. I'm not qualified to rewrite it properly, since I am not familiar with the mangaka, the manga, or any sources to back up what is currently written. Leebo T/C 15:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
