message: Éclair played a pretty signifigant role in the last two episodes, so I think that she should be added to this page. She may be mentioned on the main page, but I think that she has earned something on this page as well. Bagpipeturtle 21:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ...And you'll find that she does indeed have a place in the article, at the top of the 'supporting characters' section. If you feel there is specific information that should be added, by all means, be bold! ^.^ Lithiumflower 17:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Haruhichichi.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 ensure 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Haruhichichi.jpg

message: In March 2007 a merge tag was added to this article proposing that Kaoru Hitachiin be merged into it. In the absence of any further debate I have removed the tag because:
* Reviewing the Kaoru page and several similar ones, I can see nothing different about Kaoru Hitachiin that would justify a merge of that and not all of the others. The merge proposal was specifically for the Kaoru page, but the proposer did not explain why or give any justification for the merge.
* Each major character in the series has a summary here and their own article as their main page. The separate articles are all similar in layout and detail - as they currently stand this is too much information to be merged back into this page. 
* There may be an argument that some of the detail in the separate character pages is not notable and that they could all be shortened then merged back here. However this is an entirely separate proposal which has not (to my knowledge) been put forward by anyone. If someone wants to propose this, be my guest but it does not relate to the specific merge proposal from last year.
Given no one has commented on the merge proposal in 12 months I assume removing the tag is uncontroversial. Opposing views are welcome.  Euryalus (talk) 23:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone put this in the hitachin article 
"They love puppies and cute animals in general, as seen in Chapter 17.
The twins have also been strongly linked to Fred and George Weasley from the Harry Potter series due to the likeness in looks and personalities." 
I don't think this information is correct or needed in the article.Mooncrest (talk) 20:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism? 

message: Considering the fact that the last entry regarding this character's name was in 2008 and it's now nearly 2014, I think it's time to reconsider the spelling.  The article, itself, holds no real authority because this is Wikipedia, not Bisco Hatori's sworn statement. If someone disagrees with me, that's fine.  Let's talk about it.  I am, however, changing the spelling to Kyoya Ootori.  The statement about the pronunciation changing is a red herring since anyone who knows the series, knows how it's pronounced. Therefore, unless there's a huge uproar or someone can actually tell me when the supposed "vote" took place and how many votes were cast for each version, I'm going with Kyoya Ootori.

replies: text: Personally I'd prefer "Kyouya", and for me, I've seen more "Kyouya" than "Kyoya". Perhaps we can have a vote or something about this to reach a consensus - Kyouya Ootori? Kyoya Ohtori? Kyoya Otori? (My vote for the current name - Kyouya Ootori)Oh, this applies to Tamaki Suou/Suoh too (once again, I'm more familiar with "Suou"). So once we've reached a consensus, we can start editing the other related articles and have them fixed to one type of spelling for uniformity. — Yurei-eggtart 03:36, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, lets do it.  I am also more familiar with the Kyouya.  Its mainly the fact that leaving out the u will cause a different pronunciation of it (short o when without u and long o when with the u).  Similar to a name such as Youko (Inukami!) - without the u, just sounds weird and different from the actual. --Highwind888, the Fuko Master (talk) 05:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, what we should use is the spelling in the official translations. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: When you say "official" translation, which do you mean? See Kyouya Ootori: Kyouya Ohtori (VIZ Media romanization)? Kyoya Ootori (Chuang Yi romanization)? Kyoya Otori (Nippon Television romanization)? Aha I don't know anymore :S — Yurei-eggtart 18:01, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, that's the thing. :-D It should be one of the manga editions, because the anime is a derivative version and so has less authority. I suspect we need to ask for advice at WT:MOS-JA, as they're the experts on this. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:21, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, fear not. See WP:MOS-JA#Body_text rule #1. We are to use Kyōya Ōotori, not anything else lol. Talk about confusion... Anyway just in case I get it wrong, I won't edit the names until any of you agree to this (or you guys can do the job, I don't mind at all). — Yurei-eggtart 14:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Um, not quite: that would make it Kyōya Ōtori. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Perhaps it's a really stupid question but I really don't know lol... And uh, yeah my bad, "Ōotori" was a typo. Back to the topic, shouldn't we be using "ō"/"ū" according to WP:MOS-JA#Body text rule #1? We can/should apply this rule to the discussion in Talk:Ouran High School Host Club#Romanizationstoo. — Yurei-eggtart 18:33, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Host Club episode 3.PNG

message: I plan to get to some cleaning up here, but I don't see the need for the nine extra pictures. I realize they're semi-important characters. However, they don't appear too often. Eclair especially, she's anime-only. If you feel there's a need for a picture of the Zuka Club, a group shot would be better, like how there's one for the Host Club. Umehito probably doesn't need a picture either. I guess while I'm at it, the sections for Renge, Umehito, and Kasanoda are way too long. And the whole thing seems to need an update. And I feel it's pretty in-universe. Itzjustdrama? 17:45, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  General Cleanup 

message: I removed the pictures for the Lobelia girls because they were fansubbed. Wikipedia isn't the place for fan stuff, it's an encyclopedia, and should be more official than fansubs. If anyone disagrees, they should find a better picture that DOESN'T  have fansubs in them. And also the Lobelia girls aren't THAT important that they require pictures. I'd say considering the notability of Ouran, that the only people requiring pictures are the main characters and possibly secondary characters.Moocowsrule (talk) 02:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lobelia pictures 

message: I was looking up the meanings of the names "Castor" and "Pollux" on www.behindthename.com and I found that they mean "shining" and "very sweet" respectively.  Since Hikaru and Kaoru mean "shining" and "sweet smelling"  respectively, I absolutely cannot believe that's a coincidence.  Unfortunately, I can't find any sources at all that mention it, so as of now it's just original research.  I'll leave this here if anyone thinks they can find a source to verify it.Ziiv (talk) 05:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hikaru and Kaoru reference Castor and Pollux? 

message: I have finished copy-editing the article, as requested at WP:ANIME/CLEANUP. As far as content goes, however, there is still room for improvement. As someone with no knowledge of Ouran High, I would like to leave suggestions on a few issues that came to my attention which I believe should be addressed:
* the whole article should be looked over and possibly rewritten by someone who knows Ouran High to check for inacuracies (several sentences were ambiguous, even contradictory)
* the article needs additional references (often there are claims about the author's intentions, but no sources to verify them)
* the lead needs to be expanded, possibly moving the info currently under "Background" there and replacing that section with a "Creation and conception" one
* "Reception" section could be expanded (there are already several sources listed at the article which can help with this)
* to further address the matter of in-universe style and reduce the size of the TOC, consider reorganizing the article and grouping characters with a protagonist/antagonist-oriented structure in mind (see List of Naruto characters for reference).
I hope you feel that these edits have contributed to the improvement of the article. Thank you for visiting WP:ANIME/CLEANUP.
