[edit] Kenshin
As I return to my house in February 1st from holidays Ill add references for Himura Kenshin. I have been writing the article for Sagara Sanosuke and Myojin Yahiko in my notebook to see if I can reduce its long length. As soon as I return from holidays I ll write it in my sandbox. I would like to ask you two things: First, how can I make a sandbox? and second, can you check it? Well, see you.~Tintor2User talk:Tintor2o 15:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
I left something in Talk:Himura Kenshin. Please check it.Tintor2 (talk) 9:21, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, first off, a personal sandbox is just a subpage of your own user page. To create one is like creating a new article; just create "User:Tintor2/Sandbox" or "User talk:Tintor2/Sandbox" (you can either extend it from you user page or talk page)
- You don't even have to name it Sandbox, e.g. "User:Tintor2/This is my writing section". Or if you just want it to be temporary for creating a single article, you can name it User talk:Tintor2/Sagara Sanosuke draft or User talk:Tintor2/Myojin Yahiko draft, since those are the articles you're planning to fix. Just as long the article starts with "User:Tintor2" or "User talk:Tintor2".
- Afterwards, if you want to delete the subpage, just replace the info on the page with the template {{Db-userreq}} in order for someone to speedily delete the subpage. For more information on creating a subpage go here: Wikipedia:Subpages.
For the article of Himura Kenshin it would be perfect if we use a picture of the ougi, do you have one? See you.Tintor2 (talk) 18:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, this image is the best I can find of him performing his technique. It's not too great on the quality, but it looks just fine in thumbnail form. It's just Kenshin sucking in Shishio Makoto after the first strike of Amakakeru Ryū.
- By the way, nice work on the article. DarkAngel █▀▀007▄▄█ 04:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I used the Sasuke Uchiha as an example for the changes. I ll see later images work.Tintor2 (talk) 10:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I have combined two images of the Amaka, (long name...) and edited in the article. Please check it.Tintor2 (talk) 15:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I need to ask you something. Do you know the birth dates and ages of the ruroken characters. I think they all appear in the Kenshin Kaden but I only found the ones of Kenshin, Yahiko and Kaoru. I only need the ones of the characters that have their articles. If you have them can you tell me the dates and the pages of the respective characters. Thanks.
Apart from that the Kenshin article was nominated to GA but we still have to wait for the nomination. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 22:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Battosai
Hello, I wanted to ask you something, what does "Hitokiri Battosai" exactly mean? We need to edit "literally" in the article and I only know what do those words mean by each other (hitokiri=man slayer, batto=unsheathe, sai=purify). Thanks.Tintor2 (talk • edits) 01:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, since "Hitokiri Battōsai" is a title given to Kenshin, I don't suggest writing it's literal meaning, as it'll change it's general meaning. Also, it is actually two separate titles: you already know that hitokiri's basic translation is "man slayer (assassin)"; on the other hand, the literal meaning of the kanji in Battōsai would differ from what the word actually refers to; which is that, the "Battōsai" is just another title for Kenshin to further establish that he has mastered battōjutsu (I think this was mentioned early on in the manga - around chapters .....10-15...I only remember him explaining it during his fight with that other hitokiri - Ah! It was so long ago >.< - if you could find that exact chapter, you could use that as a ref to the meaning of "Hitokiri Battōsai"). In that regard, I think that a sentence explaining what "Hitokiri Battōsai" means seems more fitting than a literal meaning of the kanji; and Hitokiri Battōsai is basically just the title given to Kenshin when he achieved his status as the legendary assassin, who, besides being renowned for being the best assassin during the war, is also renowned for his mastery of battōjutsu "in all its forms". <-- Around those lines.
We need to make it like this: "Hitokiri Battōsai" (斬り抜刀斎? lit. "translation"). If there is no literally translation we should put a reference explaining what does battosai mean.Tintor2 (talk • edits) 00:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I know, I'm saying that I advise that you don't use this: "Hitokiri Battōsai" (斬り抜刀斎? lit. "translation") - because it's literal translation would not help define the word Battōsai. You're just trying to solve this issue right? Well, writing how he earned the title "Battōsai" in a sentence would better explain it. Or you could just do either one of these:
- (near the first mention of Hitokiri Battōsai)
- When he arrives in Tokyo, Kenshin meets a young woman named Kamiya Kaoru who offers him to live in her dojo despite finding out Kenshin was the "Battōsai" (抜刀斎?), the hitokiri who has mastered battōjutsu.
- or
- (in the second mention of Hitokiri Battōsai)
- Within the first six months of his career, he kills over 100 people; that, combined with his reputation of having mastered battōjutsu, he eventually became known as the "Hitokiri Battōsai".
Sorry to bother you but there is another question: is Kenshin a samurai? Because it has to be decided if he will or wont be added to fictional samurais. I never heard kenshin was a samurai, something lik that was only mentioned in volume 25. Its a bit confusing so we need adivice. Thanks.Tintor2 (talk • edits) 00:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- In technical terms, yes, I would most likely consider him to be a samurai (though I have a 2-5% doubt >.<). Though, they don't mention him to be one in the series, he is a hitokiri, who are actually samurais. The four real, original hitokiri were samurais, and even the actual person who Kenshin is based on is a samurai. And Kenshin did serve lords, who eventually became central figures in the government he helps build. You could probably categorize him as one, and if anyone thinks otherwise, they would have to state a reason besides "they never mentioned him to be one", cause that's not exactly a good reason to think he's not.

[edit] Macron issues
Well, I'm still not familiar when to add macrons, so I tend to just add them when an official English translation is unavailable, but I'm curious as to whether the following should be macronned:
梁山泊 - "Ryouzanpaku" or "Ryōzanpaku"
風林寺 - "Fuurinji" or "Fūrinji"
岬越寺 - "Kouetsuji" or "Kōetsuji"
Those are from the List of Shijō Saikyō no Deshi Kenichi characters article, and someone changed them to the unmacronned versions, so I thought I should be sure before reverting it (or not). If you're unsure, is there someone else that could help with it? Thanks for the help in advance. DarkAngel █▀▀007▄▄█ 05:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, those three should have the macrons. I've taken the liberty of re-fixing them, along with some other changes. —TangentCube, Dialogues 06:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
I forgot to tell you. Thanks for the help with all my question! ^_^Tintor2 (talk) 23:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
