replies: text:  Ok, added the cover. Remove it if you feel it's not right, violates copyright or something. I'm not an expert on these book issues.. --Petrim 12:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I strongly doubt that this is authentic.  I may not know much about manga, but I know for sure that this is a classic line from followers of Encyclopedia Dramatica, a Wiki site with known hostilities toward Wikipedia.  Moreover, the bit about Vincent's death was added by an anonymous editor with no citation.  I would recommend finding something to confirm this tidbit.  71.2.72.10 (talk) 20:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No offense to Mr. LeGrow, but it's highly unlikely that any irate e-mail communications to the Wikimedia Foundation would result in the deletion of the article.  If he is reading this, I would suggest taking some time to familiarize himself with some core Wikipedia policies (Wikipedia:Five pillars is not a bad place to start).  And if he requires any assistance regarding this article, I'd be happy to provide it.  Ford MF (talk) 05:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's actually Ms. LeGrow. Personally, I've read both of the first two books, and liked both, but I don't think that wikipedia would be likely to remove this article at even the author's request. An explicitly biographical article, yes, we have removed articles on that basis, but this is not an explicitly biographical article. I also hope that she realizes that, unless we can get formal verification of her being the person responsible for edits, then we would have to consider any such edits as not sourced to reliable, verifiable source. In this case, we wouldn't be able to verify she were the editor adding that information. If she ever does have any concerns regarding the content of the article, and if she sees this, I would be more than willing to discuss any concerns she might have via e-mail, and at least try to find sourcing which would be considered relevant for any content she seeks to edit or add.

text: Yes indeed. The author has a conflict of interest and as long as things are kept in a neutral tone and major claims/quotes are sourced then I don't think you can get a page pulled (it is debatable if someone could have their own article removed without a lot of fuss and mess). I think the main problem is with the "I did it for lulz" statement which needed sourcing. Mentioning they are dead is fine (within the limits of WP:SPOILER) adding unsourced quotes isn't. Things seem fine as they stand. Given the edit warring over this, it'd be recommended that the author voice their concerns on the talk page rather than through edit summaries and editors can look into addressing their concerns. Edit warring and making vague threats about having the page removed is only going to get the page edit protected which is not a desirable step. (Emperor (talk) 17:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Anyone is free to start any article on Wikipedia!  If you're familiar with Bizenghast, you might be a perfect candidate for doing so.  Here is a basic introduction on contributing to Wikipedia in general, which contains link to relevant information on when it's appropriate to start a new article and how to do so.  There are literally thousands of articles in the Comics category that "need" entries, and a tiny handful of editors actively writing them, all volunteers who do it when they feel like it.  Check out Wikiproject Comics for more info on comics-specific articles.  :) --hamu♥hamu (TALK) 03:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Feel free to add back into the article with a ref:
*In one chapter 20X6 can be seen on Dinah's Aunt's newspaper. This is a reference to Homestar Runner.
*A silhouette of the Marvel comics character Nightcrawler is perched on the roof of the cathedral in the first chapter. Nightcrawler is one of LeGrow's favorite comic book characters. 
*On different pages of the book there are snippets of strange text in a made-up alphabet called Babbleghast. The letters look a little like Greek, but they are an original invention of the author. When decoded they spell out hidden, often humorous, messages. In chapter 3, on the statue holding the key ring, there is text that says: "This ones for you, Paul Hudson." Another reads, "Please do not feed the zombies." At the end of the first volume there is a picture of Dinah surrounded by text that resembles the Voynich manuscript.
*In the summer of 2007, Tokyopop released a series of their top selling manga into animated format, one among them was Bizenghast which was done in a "moving picture" type format. Each series has a new episode shown every week on Tokyopop T.V. Bizenghast being shown on Thursday. You can go to this link to watch the episodes http://www.myspace.com/tokyopoptv. The song on the opening title is "Feel the disease" by Kissing Violet
