Both links announcing disbandment are not functioning. Just informing and wanting to reach a consensus on removing them; perhaps you're more informed on the matter of function of those links than I am. Other Galaxy 20:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)OtherGal

[edit] Album/single names

I know this has come up before on other Japanese artist pages but keeping with them, would it be possible to have the original, that is Japanese name of the album/single before the romaji and translation? Some examples: Glay- Japanese, then romaji, L'arc~en~ciel discography has the romaji, then Japanese. These are only some major band pages but if you follow the links from the jrock (and possibly jpop page), many of the discographies follow a similar format. If no-one has any objections, how about we fix this page up? ~ Keladry, 12/11/06

I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem that whoever wrote the article thought that it would be "really sugoi128.114.60.100" if everytime they wrote the name of an album they typeset it with Japanese quotation marks and wrote the name in monospace font (probably because that's the romaji from whatever the unicode page is.) I'm sorry. Not only is it visually annoying to switch font styles, but it is incorrect to use foreign punctuation marks. Just because it's Japanese and you're an "otaku," doesn't make it right. Taco fans don't write: "¿Is there nothing better than tacos?" Also, all the proper nouns should be written in mixed case, since that's how those things are typeset in English. Obey the punctuation and capitalization rules of the language you're writing in. 128.114.60.100 20:44, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ALvino

is not Jun's solo project. Therefore i have changed it to Jun's Trio project.

This is incorrect, the term solo project does not mean Jun is working on his own or solo, that is called a solo career. Jun doesn't currently have a solo career. A solo project refers when a member of a band, starts a project that is independent of their current band, which could mean another band, i.e. ALvino. They can be in both at the same time, though as with Pierrot the band member's solo projects tore them apart.

[edit] NPOV

Flagged npov for this sentence:

"PIERROT was one of the oldest bands still around in 2005 in the Jrock scene. They started off like any other decent visual kei band and made their major label debut in September, 1998 with the single Kuria Sukai (CLEAR SKY クリア・スカイ).

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

Image:Pierrot.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.
