[edit] Modern Post Apocalyptic Remake

I just watched Princess Blade[1], its Japanese title was also 修羅雪姫 - is it related--ZayZayEM 05:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Split

Manga and 1973 film should be split into separate articles. - Alan Smithee 00:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that's necessary, honestly. Both sections aren't that long to start with. Putting them in their own individual articles seems needless, especially when the film's an adaptation of the manga. Maybe if it was meatier, I'd support a split but right now, I don't know if that's a good idea. -- 9muses 02:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree with 9muses. There's no reason to split the article at the moment as it's not too long at all. It could bear a lot more expansion before reaching a stage where it might need splitting. H. Carver 22:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC) After growing more experienced in the ways of Wikipedia, I no longer stand by what I said here. Mea culpa. H. Carver 05:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I'd have to dissagree, however short the two are quality standards should be upheld. Bhojpuri 6:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Split. Last year I helped disambiguate all the Battle Royale spin-offs and subsequent experience shows that entries on spin-offs that are notable enough for their own entry tend to get stiffled in the main entry. They can't be expanded any further as they would unbalance the entry. Cutting them loose lets them grow so arguements based purely on the size as it is don't really work. As it stands it is big enough to form a good stub which seems reason enough. The various Battle Royale entries are often adaptations of another work but have thrived as separate entries so this one should do fine if there are editors around interested in working on it, (Emperor 04:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC))
Split. Current content should not be used to judge splitting. They are two seperate entities notable in their own right, they deserve individual pages. --ZayZayEM 06:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Split. Let them develop separately. It looks really messy at the moment. Cop 633 15:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SnowbloodOyuki.jpg

Image:SnowbloodOyuki.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 insure 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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Manual of Style

As per Animanga manual of style I have tidied up the article. I welcome your input but please do not remove sourced information. There is no title section so I merged it with the lead section. Excluding infobox, references I have listed the main headings below. Stextc (talk) 11:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

Merged the kill list into the plot section. Would appreciate any copy edit to tidy up. Can be improved. Stextc (talk) 11:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Characters

Left as per style guide. Stextc (talk) 11:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Prodution

Publication History fits into production. If you can find some of the writer's inspiration it would be great to add here. Stextc (talk) 11:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Media Information

I have put the Volume listings in there. The picture illustrates a scene from the book and should stay. I saw you link to the Graphic novel format and should be ok to change to the format. Feel free to update. I hit "undo" and do not have access to the code for it. It still is a bit difficult to read, is there a way to make better formatted? Stextc (talk) 11:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

Tom Rosin's review is probably not a good example of a review but it's a sourced review. I would take the approach of getting as many reviews as possible first before trimming down. On the movie . . . Lady Snowblood has a movie and a notable American remake Kill Bill, this should warrant its own section. Stextc (talk) 11:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Graphic novel list

I used {{tl|Graphic novel list}] on the volume listing. Also, per WP:LEAD, I expanded the lead to include the info on the adaptations. While the WP:MOS-AM says nothing of a "Title" section, articles like Azumanga Daioh use it when there seems no other place (like a "Design" section) to put the information. Finally, I removed the imdb Kill Bill trivia since sites with user-submitted content are not usually cited as reliable sources.

The volume summaries may need trimming, rewording so they summarize the whole book and not the individual chapters.--Nohansen (talk) 16:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
