[edit] A few things to improve

  • Why does each character have it's information here AND on a page of their own? That is totally unnecessary and clogs up the main page. Plus, the character section is a mess. The indenting of information seems a little overused and it's just a block of information.I don't really want to go through it as I've only just started reading the manga and don't want to read spoilers.
  • Also, the artical refers to it as PitaTen, Pita-Ten, Pitaten and Pita Ten. Shouldn't it all be the same? My copy says Pita-Ten, but I don't think that all do. It might be better if all used said the same version through the article because using variations just adds to the messiess of the page. A section could be made to mention the different versions of the name though. Tartan 18:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I have proposed that the pages be combined into one page List of Pitaten characters or something similar. We're definitely using Pitaten throughout the article as that is what the name of the article is. --Squilibob 06:40, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I have merged the character pages as per WP:FICT as a lot of anime article have been merged as such lately. --Squilibob 14:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shōjo or Shōnen?

A lot of edit warring has been occurring on this article over whether it is a shōjo or shōnen series. Instead of just reverting each others changes please state your reasoning for why it should be classed one way or the other. --Squilibob 05:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I think people are stating it as a shounen series because the manga was serialized in a shounen magazine. Even so, this is in no way a shounen series in my opinion, and I'm positive most people will agree. The majority of it's fanbase is female, isn't that enough? Do I have a source? Yes, Google. I don't know what it's creator calls it, but if most people think of it as shoujo, it's shoujo. SoulSlayer 17:40, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Flawed logic aside (Google should NOT substitute for an unbiased census), shoujo/shounen classifications are defined solely as the intended target audience by the author/publisher. Running a series in a shounen serial makes it undeniably shounen, regardless of subject matter. This is not for debate. -StarCreator 130.85.243.35 08:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

The opening part of this section has a spoiler in it; it tells how the anime ends.. or, rather I should say it ruins the ending. Repku 19:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pita-ten?

Why is this not located under Pita-Ten? The manga is licensed in the U.S. by Tokyopop with a dash, thus by wikipedia policy, the article should call it Pita-Ten. --Wirbelwind 05:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Pitaten → Pita-Ten — In the Manual of Style for Japan-related articles, #7 states "Names should be romanized according to common usage, which includes unconventional romanizations by licensees....". Since Tokyopop has the manga licensed in the U.S. as Pita-Ten, the page should also be Pita-Ten instead of Pitaten.) Wirbelwind 06:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Support for reason above. Wirbelwind 06:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Support as per Wirbelwind. Many more google hits for pita-ten (500,000 vs 70,000). List of Pitaten characters would also have to be moved and there is a category which could just be deleted now that the characters have been merged into one page. --Squilibob 07:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tokyopop

Iwant to delee the external link to the tokyopop site,as tokyopop is a fanbased website,and not of the standard of an unbiased informative website.It is purley fanbased,ans as such, we should not be using it as a reference,as it is 'not purely factual'. Can someone please remove it. Wongdai clcheung 18:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manga vs. Anime

I do remember an earlier version of this article containing information about the differences between the two mediums. It was a bit too extensive, but a think a general description should be included.
--Imaginationac (Talk | Edits | Email) 00:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The list of characters article still has separate sections for manga and anime for each character. That could perhaps be summarized on the main article. --Squilibob 05:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
