message: Does anyone have a scan of the English comic Volume 1? WhisperToMe 22:14, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is no platform for sharing illegal files. As Hunter X Hunter has been licensed in the US and other english speaking countries, it is illegal to share any scans of it. And as the first volume also has been translated, there is no need for a fan-translation. So buy it. -- Genesis 16:24, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Names of characters from Chinese editions don't belong in English Wikipedia. Will remove. --KJ 10:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Are those Chinese names? If it's the Japanese Kanji writing, they should be kept in, as they would the original names. If not, can someone provide the correct Kanji writing? -- Genesis 14:37, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Their names are written in Katakana in the originals. Will add from ja. article. --KJ 02:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Katakana? Interesting. Wouldn't that mean that their names are considered to be foreign? Maybe worth mentioning in the misc section? -- Genesis 06:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: They are "foreign," I believe. Most of the written documents in HxH are in some made-up language. Fivre 03:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: best way to make this article not very long and not cluttered is to make an article for the characters and story arcs--hottie 17:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  ViZ is now up to Volume 8, so yeah, they have their adaptations to the nen types. They are, going counterclockwise from the top of Wing's hexagon: Enhancer, Transmitter, Conjurer, Specialist, Manipulator, Emitter. (This was in Page 110 of Volume 7.) I'm reading this entirely out of ViZ's version, so that's the kind I'll be the most familiar with. I won't touch the article though, since I probably don't know enough about the entire series to write about it. (If you want to know, it's up to the Yorknew auction where the Frankenstein guy murdered everybody attending.) Ron Stoppable 04:47, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I've added some brief character information to the hxh main page, and changed the link so that it now directs to the 'hxh main characters' page, rather than the 'hxh characters main page' 
In terms of organization, there's a seperate page for main characters, a page for the Ryodan, and a page for the hunters (this was mainly because i didn't know where else to put the information on the hunters license. The stuff about different hunter types and licenses is too insignificant to put on the main page, but too little to put as a page on its own. So i made the hxh-hunters page.) 
With the hxh-characters-mainpage, they're arranged in alphabetical order (i guess arcs would work just as well, just need someone patient enough to rearrange it.) It'd probably be better to rename it as 'hxh minor characters', since all the major characters have been put into other pages. See if it's less confusing now :)Yaksha 08:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Where is the update for the latest hunter x hunter? chapter 261 is out and I see no update.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.53.72.159 (talk) 10:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean for the article? Unless something significantly happened in the latest chapters, nothing will happen to the article. Otherwise, you just need to wait till someone who can be bothered to edit the thing comes around =P. As for hxh itself, not much to say here. Do a google for hxh forums and follow from there, that's normally where you can find the latest news and chaps. --`/aksha 12:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update 

message: A self to do list of things I can think of right now, and also a Help Me If You Can list:
*Modeled on Madlax as a Featured Article guide, replace the Characters section with more generalized descriptive paragraphs instead of simply 4 mini articles about the main characters.
*Find a picture of Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio standing all together nicely posed, with no one else. Probably would have to be some kind of really really really well done fan art, as I don't remember a group photo like that happening in the anime, and I don't think there's an HxH art book.
*Find a nice scan of the HxH world map from the guidebook, or find someone willing to cut up their guidebook to do a nice scan, then apply labels, for the Geography section of the main article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zyrxil (talk • contribs) 03:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would be more than happy to help. I can do the information about the Greed Island cards, help write summaries and biographies, etc. There's also a ton of information on the Japanese Wiki that isn't present on the English article. If someone could translate appropriately, it would really help. -Mr. Toto (talk) 08:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  To Do 

message: Rules are made to be broken .... I have heard this many times in my life, and it's shameful that that happens in Wikipedia as well. The other-language information is super forbidden by the WP:MOS-AM, so if you don't want to pay the broken glasses, it'll be the best to keep only the Japanese and English dub info. I also disagreed with that insane policy from the Manual of Style, but sadly that's how Wikipedia works. For next time I see this article again, I want the unnecesary info destroyed forever, or I'll do it on my own. You'll see. --Twicemost (talk) 04:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Somewhere in this article it should be written how many Tankoban where published in each break, how VIZ did its manga release for it in the US, and how many there are (i read in one spot there where 20 and in another there where 24) ----Tayler T.
:The Hell? Don't just randomly put a question into a unrelated topic from a year ago, you create a new section with ==topic==. Even if you didn't know how to do ==, putting something new at the bottom of a discussion and not at the top in the middle of a bunch of other things is just common sense! Besides which, the info is in the article:
:*The manga is currently published in Japan in Weekly Shonen Jump, and past episodes have been compiled into a set of 24 tankōbon and growing. The manga is currently being published in the United States by VIZ Media. It is currently up to volume 18, the latest recently released in late January of 2008.--Zyrxil (talk) 17:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Random Crap 

message: Why is fictional setting unnecessary? -Zyrxil (talk) 21:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was plain excessive, an the entire thing is almost entirely OR and unsourced. Every last aspect of the world does not need to be mentioned, and settings is not generally an appropriate or necessary aspect of an article. The few relevant aspects should be mentioned, briefly, as needed to discuss the plot and/or characters. Remember, we aren't a fansite, so we don't need to give nitty gritty detail on everything.  See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style (anime- and manga-related articles)  AnmaFinotera (talk) 21:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was a very broad touching upon features of the setting that would be impossible to bring up anywhere else, barely a paragraph for each item, hardly deep nitty gritty. Sources could be added, as it would be the series itself. Removing of the Nen section was especially excessive, as that section predates the Fictional Setting section and is generally agreed upon as the most unique idea in the series. Removing it is like removing  references to flight in an article about aviation. Besides, I don't see anything in the AOM MOS that is relevant to fictional setting.-Zyrxil (talk) 22:04, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Um...that was kinda my point. :P It isn't called for in the MOS, and is generally not considered relevant.  If some aspects are felt to be important, if it is relevant, discuss it in the plot section.   Optionally, if it is generally considered the series more unique idea, then its (missing) reception section, would likely to have remarks about that and could include a short summary for explanation. AnmaFinotera (talk) 22:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Plenty of things aren't called for specifically, but the MOS is a guideline to what should be there, not a set of laws ruling out everything else. To me there's enough detail to the setting that it merits a section. -Zyrxil (talk) 02:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There was too much detail, and most of irrelevant.  If a setting section is going to be incorporated, it should be much shorter, and properly sourced. If you really feel one should be there, please redo it in a more appropriate manor, so that it is a single section, short and to the point, and properly referenced.  See Bleach (manga) for an indication of a more appropriate length and format. AnmaFinotera (talk) 02:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "These hiatuses are often attributed to the author becoming addicted to MMORPGs." This is speculation and I have never seen this mentioned anywhere.

thread_title:  Citations please 

message: Throughout the articles on Hunter x Hunter, we have East and West "Goruto" as the place where most of the Chimera Ant arc takes place. In Viz's translation, they have "The Republic of East Gorteau" and "The Republic of East Gorteau". So I'm not entirely sure on how we/you do the names (as in using the Viz names or scanlation ones) since it seems to be mixed throughout all the articles. So I was wondering your opinion if maybe, for the names of countries and what not, we can go by Viz's translation... or maybe make up an article for the "Mitene Union" (the island where NGL and Gorteau are located) and list the two seperate names? Since it's not possible to have "Goruto, known as Gorteau in the Viz Media translation," everywhere the word is said.
Or maybe just do up an article on the whole land of Hunter x Hunter and how certain places relate to that of the real world.XScar (talk) 18:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Since we are going with Viz names, are we going to change "Nigg" (the anagram for Ging in Greed Island) to "Ngig" to comply with what Viz has?
