[edit] Boogiepop and Others (novel)

I'm doing some Category's for novels at present, and wasn't sure if this is a novel, book, manga, graphic novel, or something else? Grey Shadow 06:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for you answer. I'm currently doing {Cat:year novels} or {Cat:year books}. I know which now. Cheers! Grey Shadow 07:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sock puppetry by Ttchiem

FYI, I have filed a Wikipedia:CheckUser request on Ttchiem as I suspect that he has been using Wikipedia:Sock puppetry in order to continually restore Image:Japanophile.jpg and Image:Otaku.jpg to their respective articles under multiple accounts in a bid to circumvent the Wikipedia:Three-revert rule and the consensus of other editors that the above-mentioned images are inappropriate for Wikipedia.

[edit] ISBNs

Hi Elric, please let me know which peer review. Hyphenation (or spaces) is the standard according to the International ISBN Agency, and we can't use spaces. Rich Farmbrough 08:27 30 August 2006 (GMT).

It was in this one. I seem to recall there being more discussion on it, but part of the discussion in that PR also disappeared somewhere along the way – my guess is that it was among that. Could your bot also stop being 'helpful' with categories? I am getting sick of reverting that three or four times a day. To get categories sorted alphabetically you often need to place them above templates, but your bot keeps moving them back to the bottom (which ends up giving me a mish-mashed order).

Well it's done for now. I understand what your saying about categories, it raises two interesting points a. how should categories be ordered, and b. what to do about transcluded categories. The first has been thrashed out, and the conclusion reaced that alpahbetical order is not necessarily best (AWB used to order categories). The second is more probelmatical, I believe, for example that in general maintainance categories (and hence templates) should go after normal categories - and I thnk this is widely suported in principle. On the other hand it is common practice to put cleanup and wikify right at the top of articles. One off the things that AWB does in it's general options is to put interwiki at the end, and non-trancluded categories immediately before, so I will copy part of your comment and this reply onto the AWB talk page for discussion.

[edit] Boogiepop Phantom

Hi, I've just started through the long haul of expanding this article. You seem to be pretty well versed on Boogiepop lore, and you've handled other Boogiepop articles (I also saw you on the gomanga forum). This is my first attempt at really starting an article from scratch, so I would appreciate the help of a more seasoned veteran such as yourself. Here's a list of some of the stuff I've done so far:

  • Padded out the links section
  • Padded out the allusions section
  • Started the plot "summary" with the section on Manaka Kisaragi.

However I must stress that I am poor(relatively) at writing, so this in itself could probably be heavily improved upon. Some things I would like to focus on in the article are:

  • Pictures for the main characters (anime pictures, not novel pictures in the case of Boogiepop, etc)
  • Continue with the plot "summary" starting the with the other main characters such as Manticor Phantom, Boogiepop Phantom, etc
  • Find more references and create a reception section

Let me know what you think and I would appreciate any help you could give. Thanks Hellspawn 23:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

We already have one anime picture in the Boogiepop series article that would serve well. Another picture of Boogiepop and/or Boogiepop Phantom along with one of Manaka (with Poom Poom?) and her Butterflies would also be good, but any more would probably be pushing it. I had been intending on changing the basic format of the article, to make it more like the other ones, but that is not an urgent concern; it may be something to keep in mind though, as many of those subjects should be addressed here. I would also not recommend splitting the plot into the plots of the main characters, as there would be too much overlap. It would make more sense to just write the plot summary for the series; this would also help people who failed to understand the plot because it has been so split up in the anime. Sadly, there are few good (English) sources for Boogiepop, but if you check the base article you will find some useful ones as a starting point --- especially for reception.

Changed the plot summary to reflect the overall story rather than focusing on one character. I also added pictures for all the main characters (expect Miyashita san) (although all of the pictures are good, they aren't all the same size unfortunately). I also added a media section as suggested by the guidelines, and I plan to move onto the critical reception section next. Once I've done that, the article should hopefully only need some tidying up before it is deserving of a higher assessment. Hellspawn, 23:45 GW 16/02/07
