Simplification of Zettai Karen Children

Hi. I don't mean to be critical, but I've been reading the article on Zettai Karen Children as well as the associated episode list and noticed it comes off as very difficult to read. There's nothing wrong with the English, but its very complex, and while one can understand what it means in the long run, its very likely the person will develop a headache in doing so.

Sorry, if I'm offending you, but I would like to help revise it so it's easy to read, although the aforementioned headaches prevent me from doing so. Azuka (talk) 18:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I was thinking something along the lines of changing:

A ten-year-old Level 7 psychokinetic (the maximum esper potency designation), Kaoru is the reckless and zealous member of "The Children" Special Esper Team alongside Shiho and Aoi that often goes overkill with her psychic powers.

to

A ten-year-old Level 7 esper. Kaoru is the most reckless of "The Children" and often tends to act without considering the consequences.

Something like that, perhaps? Azuka (talk) 03:44, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Of course including something like "her specialty is psychokinesis" takes care of that problem. I was only proposing how I would have rewritten it, although if we're going to work together, I'd have to ask your opinion on what parts are important and what parts should be excluded. We could set up a sandbox (which will be a copy of the text on ZKC), and merge the changes when done. Azuka (talk) 06:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Ran

Frankly, it's become apparent not only to me (as the above comment from Azuka shows) that you tend to write very long winded and confusing summaries whether they be character bios or episode summaries. The spirit of Wikipedia is not to try to write as much as one can on in-universe information, as we have policies against excessive plot summaries, and writing guidelines regarding writing about fiction. Despite what I tried to do in Zettai Karen Children, you still kept doing these erroneously long and confusing episode summaries, and simply put, I just got too tired of trying to shorten them for you, so I took the episode list and the main article off my watchlist. Coincidentally, shortly thereafter I stopped watching the anime, but that was because the subbing was too slow, and I lost interest after episode 14.

But back to Ran. There is no reason why you should be writing character bios, especially the overly detailed bios you had, on the episodic characters that only appear in one or two episodes and then never again. They are, as I said, minor than minor characters that have no overall bearing on understanding the series, and frankly, I doubt anyone would want to read a 1000 word summary on an obscure character that only appeared in a single episode. Not to mention that you're taking all this information from the anime, giving undue bias on the anime adaptation instead of the original novels, which is also generally looked down upon and should be avoided. You really need to re-think how you contribute to Wikipedia, because from what I can see, you still have no idea on how to write concise summaries for episodes, and contribute far too much on erroneous in-universe information that's too confusing to read to boot. Please read the fancruft essay, as all of what you've been adding is excessive fancruft which is not appreciated by WP:ANIME. If you feel I'm wrong, ask the project yourself, or look at all the tons of featured lists under the project to see how concise their episode summaries are.--十八 01:00, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dairi, I've replied to your message about the Ran topic on my own talk page. David Bailey (talk) 16:40, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I am a bit concerned about . . .

Salutations, everybody!!! It has come to my attention that Wikipedia gets a bit concerned whenever an article is in excess of 82 kilobytes and this is the recent example. I am of the sentiment that the table of episodes should be split into three portions of seventeen episodes each. I would perform that operation myself once I have the data necessary to do so, but I do not want to steamroll over the sentiments and volition of any crucial actors. If anyone has any relevant sentiment or volition germane to this matter, let him come forward now.

Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 20:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Just so you know, the problem isn't the number of episodes, it's the size of the summaries. If all of the summaries were about the length of episode 1's summary, then everything would be fine. Don't perform a split because it's unconventional to do so in this case.--十八 20:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Munto

Actually, you messed up quite a bit with the merging, and I'm in the process of fixing your mistake. Basically, the history at Sora wo Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai needs to be moved back to Munto where it was originally before you moved the page around a couple of times, then the content from Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (which I had to clean up) has to be text-merged over to Munto. What you did was basically destroy any way to easily find the original history of Munto. And I removed the overly-detailed plot description that was left over from the merge because Wikipedia is not a plot summary, and I would have removed it anyway from the original article had I had the chance to. Otherwise, a few other minor issues notwithstanding, it looks fine now, but still needs a lot of work with a media section, plus the episode list has to be split.--十八 00:44, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Frankly, if you did not understand what you were doing, you should have asked first. Jumping into a snake pit before you look to see what's inside tends to start unnecessary problems for other people; this is good advice I'm giving here. Chalking it up to "an endemic dynamic that has to be accommodated" is not right. We shouldn't have to fix your mistakes or hold your hand. You should at least have the piece-of-mind to ask for help if you are unsure how to act. It's that kind of attitude which is one of the main problems with Wikipedia. Inexperienced users tend to think "oh well, I can do anything I want because someone more experienced will be there to fix it", but the truth is we don't fix it because we want to. Do you honestly think that we want to spend all our time fixing any number of mistakes that could have easily been avoided had a given person asked someone more experienced first?--十八 06:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: List of Sora Kake Girl episodes

Thanks for correcting the spelling mistakes I made. I've been editing the episode summaries in List of Sora Kake Girl episodes for the following reasons:

1. As a native English speaker, I find your prose to be unclear. In many places, you use complex sentence structures and uncommon or nonstandard words when there is no need to do so. This reduces the clarity of the summaries.

2. There were a few places where you had things such as "»To the colony . . . or else!!!«" which aren't really appropriate in an episode summary. The goal is to give a clear description of the major points of the episode, and stuff like that doesn't really add anything. Quoting something makes it look like a significant phrase, and if it isn't, it's simpler to just write it in plain language.

3. Regarding summary length, I've been preserving most of what's already written, but I have been leaving out some things I saw as unnecessary detail. If there are particular things you're worried about, you can add them back in, but keep in mind that the summaries only need to cover significant events and major plot points. (Also, I believe that much of the reduction in length has come from my efforts at simplifying the language outlined in point #1). modargo (talk) 08:04, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Gokinjo Monogatari Episode Exhibition

Hi. Can't say I'm one for Thanksgiving, that's not something we do in my neck of the woods, but hope you had a good one or whatever the appropriate phrase is. Regarding the article, Gokinjo Monogatari Episode Exhibition, what it needs is to be linked to from other articles, and it needs to be wikified, so that the article contains links to other pages, in line with the manual of style. To be honest, it's also possible the article has issues with sourcing and critical evaluation, see this page of the manual of style and guidance on reliable sourcing and policy on sourcing. Hope that clarifies somewhat. Best, Hiding T 19:27, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Rin Inquiry Itinerary

A tag has been placed on Dr. Rin Inquiry Itinerary requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The Qwaser of Stigmata

Just to point a few things:

• Anime News Network encyclopedia part is not reliable source because it's users editable thus isn't a Reliable Source per Wikipedia standard
• Please stick the Wikipedia:MOS-ANIME, i'm impressed to see that the anime sub-section disappeared from the article
• We don't use table for sountracks unless it's a list of soundtracks or a discography which isn't the case here. So please do it in prose form.

Yume Tsukai Speculative Aspiration Corridor

I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about the article, I think it's great that a list of episodes article is so complete, so soon after creation. A way that it could be improved would be to expand the lead, like List of Baccano! episodes, and cite some sources for the airdates. --Malkinann (talk) 21:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

1. Article name has to be renamed to along the line of the rest of anime episodes list articles.
2. Source for the first TV run has to be found, sorry i can't help you on this one.
3. Don't use "Fanlike" section naming, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a fan site and you are giving reason for people to look down on anime with such naming.
4. Use proses instead of a table for the themes songs as prose is always preferred here.

Note this time, i did the table => proses conversion adding references to Oricon database along the way but not next time. Some editors view use of table as the easy solution for people who are too lazy to line-up two sentences of proses. --KrebMarkt (talk) 08:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Reply why do i leave such edit summary

Hi,

To reply your message, i expected a such reaction from your part. In fact that's was the only way to coax a reply from you as you seem not very eager to reply to the editors who made effort to communicate with you.

Now on the issue itself, use of table for soundtracks in episodes list is not the established practice within the anime/manga project and you are by now certainly aware of it. Regardless how you argument, i really doubt you would gather much support to change that editing standard especially if you use section name like "Anime Music Manifesto" which has a too fan minded connotation.

You create articles that great but as far as i can assess, you are just building you own kingdom within Wikipedia and not something that is really part of Wikipedia. To be really part of Wikipedia, you have to abide editing standards & practices and aim for the widest readership possible. Currently you are at doing things your way and you aim solely the anime fans. I expect you to prove me wrong in the future.

Cordially.

Re: Candy Candy episodes summary

I did not wish to insult anyone for the writing done previously, but alas, aside from vague (which is a point of view), some of the summaries were linguistically unclear. I assumed in some cases that this was because of English not being the primary language. Not that it is my primary language either. I admit this assumption was on my part and that you may have taken umbrage with that. While you may disagree with some of the names, certainly compared to the original language, the names used in the English version were those I used. Note that Miss Pony does not wear any dress of a Christian nun, whereas Sister Mary Jane does. Miss Pony is a laywoman, not a nun. Grand-aunt is not an English term as far as I know. A sister of a grandparent is referred to as Great-aunt to my knowledge.

As for the viewer to investigate further: I went on to view the series again based on the previous synopsis because I was confused and thereby realized that my confusion was not stemming from vagueness but synopsis issues. If the intent is to not reveal the story outline per episode, to not "spoil", then there should be no synopsis but one sentence tag lines such as television makers release before airing.

Also some people may wish to use a synopsis list of episodes for references. They may be visiting a page to be "spoiled". If I were say on a Candy Candy discussion forum, I may not wish to watch an episode every time in order to rehash what the episode is about. Of course a synopsis list needs a spoiler warning. I have in the past used synopsis lists for discussions for exactly that purpose, and it was for this possible use I extended the synopsis in existence prior to it.

A couple tips

Try not using those arrows, and when making "List of [enter anime or manga here] episodes/chapters/soundtracks" the episodes/chapters/soundtrack should always be lowercase. Only the beginning letter of the article page and the title should be capitalized.

For summarizing, only add information that isn't subjective. Add the most neutral summary you can think of. Simplicity is the key. Must always ALWAYS attempt to explain things the most simplest way you can so that. Do not add in trivial information on to these list such as theme songs. Also learn to use the Nihongo template or at least use a more detailed episode list template that allows you to input kanji and romanji.

Wikipedia asks for consistency, if you want to make good list articles of episodes i suggest you look at others to get an idea. 1) no one uses "maiden air date", it's "original airdate" and "english airdate" and 2) No one uses the 2 symbol. Though it looks like you were aiming for a unique way to make these articles rather than actually following a standard.Bread Ninja (talk) 23:44, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dairi. I tagged List of Yume Tsukai episodes as possibly being not notable because (at present) we do not have an article on the TV series, and the citations available right now just show that the episodes exist.

What you do is thought as using inaccurate or inappropriate edit summaries, addition of unsourced or improperly cited material, and introducing deliberate factual errors.

Re: Little Busters

Did I call you a vandal? Was I assuming bad faith? I don't think so. I was merely giving an objective view of your revisions. That being, that the way in which you wrote the episode summaries used words and language that was very uncommon, puffy, unencylopedic, and generally very confusing to read. You have been called out on this before many times, and you still continue to do this. It does not matter one bit if your summaries are somehow shorter and use less words if the way if which it is written makes it so confusing that anyone reading it would have extreme difficulty in understanding what was going on. Ask anyone on Wikipedia who is a native English speaker and they will tell you the same thing: your current writing style is confusing and is not suitable for Wikipedia.
