[edit] To Do List

  • Improve InuYasha enough so that it can be a featured article. (See the featured article objections for information on what needs to be fixed.) Status: Minor changes made, added an experimental 'animation quality' section. Will continue sporadically. (It's too hard to address too many of the issues at once.)
  • Implement the consensus decision about the usage of Tetsusaiga vs. Tessaiga. Status: Done, now that searching finally works again.
  • Draw pictures of InuYasha characters in Adobe Illustrator to use for their respective articles. Status: Cancelled in favor of the task below.
  • Upload DVD screenshots of InuYasha characters to use for their respective articles. Status: In progress. Finished Shippo, Kirara, and Kagome, although I would prefer a happier picture for Kagome. It's hard to find a full body shot though.
  • Add citations to InuYasha articles. Status: Unsure if this is necessary, may seek community opinions.
  • Correct uses of 'comedic relief' and 'comedy relief'. (They should both be 'comic relief'.) Status: Done. Apparently there were not as many of these mistakes as I had thought.
  • Correct uses of 'seiyuu' and 'seiyu'. Both of them should be 'seiyū' in Hepburn. I am also moving articles in Category:Seiyuu to Category:Seiyu. Status: Done. Thank you to Ranma9617 for his help and to anyone else who helped move articles.
  • Find or draw an artistic rendering of a Phoenix to use in that article. Status: I found a picture, but it needs to be cropped.
  • Add an original summary to Eragon to replace the book flap summary that is currently there. Status: Not started.
  • Expand the Hanyō article, which is only a stub. Status: Having trouble finding reference materials on the subject.
  • Add article about Timeline, one of my favorite books. Status: Not started.
  • Add article about The Cat Who Came For Christmas, another of my favorite books. Status: Not started.
  • Add article about Cleveland Amory, one of my favorite authors. Status: Not started.

I received this Tireless Contributor Barnstar from Litefantastic for my work on InuYasha. Yay!
  • I tend to work mostly on InuYasha articles and other articles related to anime or Japan.
  • However, I sometimes do edit other articles that I come across, mostly doing copyediting.
  • My first edit as a registered user was on June 27, 2004, although I did make a few anonymous edits before that.

[edit] Added Content

[edit] Standards Crusade

Whenever I browse Wikipedia, I try to correct mistakes in Japan-related articles, especially by:

On the InuYasha page and on related character pages, I have also added kanji for the names of many of the minor characters.

[edit] Languages Known

(Learning languages is one of my favorite pastimes.)

  • English (native)
  • French (near-fluent, I took it for four years in high school and some in middle school as well)
  • Japanese (still learning, I only know a little of it)
