Adapting the Original Names in Japanese

Well first of all... after accessing the page of Detective Conan, I was kinda ticked and confused. It's like who the heck is Jimmy!? And there I read that he's Shinichi... and the other characters as well

"Jimmy Kudo, also known as Shinichi Kudo (工藤 新一, Kudō Shinichi?) in Japan," uhm... for a person like me who love Anime/Manga, it kinda ticked me off reading this... Detective Conan was made in Japan so when I read, "also known ___ in Japan..." it's like it's suppose to be reversed right... it's suppose to be "Kudo Shinichi, also known as Jimmy Kudo in the US"

Dude, it came from Japan, from this statement it felt like the other country are taking credit of it. Same with this... "is the protagonist of the anime and manga Case Closed, known in Japan as Detective Conan (名探偵コナン, Meitantei Conan?)"

So I kinda want to change it and use the Japanese name instead as the main thing. Its sounds weird and silly in English since I had watched Detective Conan in Japanese... —Preceding unsigned comment added by PurpleHale (talk • contribs) 14:28, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Haha, me too, but the wiki rules state English names first. DragonZero (talk) 20:28, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

There's a Detective Conan wikipedia that dedicates itself to your standards, but since there's no way that wiki can surpass this one, you should help improve the articles here first then you could help with that Detective Conan fansite.DragonZero (talk) 20:30, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Your wiki rules are so dumb. Why should English names be stated before the original? Oh well, don't expect much better from Jimbo Wales and his bunch of goons called administrators. Yeah, it looks like Case Closed is the original and Detective Conan is a Japanese copy of the same, isn't it? When are the wikipedia folks going to get some solid matter between their ears? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.97.119.139 (talk) 13:39, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, this is the English-language wiki. So, it makes sense that the English language version of the name takes prominence. You're making a big deal out of nothing. 74.132.163.46 (talk) 02:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

CDs

So, the List of Case Closed music tracks article has been replaced with the CDs section of the Case Closed article. This solves the problem of the Movie EDs and Episode OP/EDs, but the CDs section as of now needs some cleanup, to say the least. Kenrick95 attempted to clean it up by organizing it into a list, but DragonZero promptly reversed it back, claiming "this is not to be a list". Therefore, I propose that the CDs section be reorganized into a format similar to that used in the article Music of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Cocomonk22 (talk) 05:05, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Of course its not suppose to be in a list unless its on its own article. Check the Manual of Style. Also for one, unless there's someone willing to make a list exactly like that and sourced and everything, go ahead. But since no one and I mean NO ONE has been working on the soundtracks at all, I decided to work on it and compress it into its tiny section, all summarized. So unless there's someone who's willing to put so much effort into making the list, you will have to live with this. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 05:46, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Also, I'm using the Naruto and Bleach (manga) as the layout. They do not list theme musics. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 05:51, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

If you have any problems with my edits. Create a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 06:28, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

At first I had a problem with the edit, but simplifying to just CDs in the main article makes the music less ambiguous ("CDs" compared to "music tracks"), so I'm fine with the removal of the List of Case Closed music tracks sub-article. The CDs section for Case Closed is 634 words, compared to 286 for Bleach and 227 for Naruto. If you notice in the Naruto and Bleach (manga) articles, only some of the soundtracks are discussed, so I'll just do a quick cleanup using those articles as reference. This means the 13 movie soundtrack titles and descriptions will be removed and Japanese versions of soundtrack titles (kanji and romaji) will be removed, just as they have been removed in the CDs section of Naruto and Bleach (manga). I think the last sentence (Each of the films from the series have also had their own CDs) should be rewritten as well, but I'll leave that as is for now.

Citations; -They're Important

Though it's going to be killer, someone needs to go through and properly cite references for many of the articles.
Fortunately, some people have at least mentioned the chapters certain events occur in the manga/anime so they will be easier to find.
Citing references would really help improve the order of the article. Copse (talk) 05:17, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

We know. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 06:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Also it seems your not following the manual of style or even reffing the facts correctly. First off, you can not go "In Chapter 703" he does this. That is not sourcing. I'm going to assume your talking about the character list. To simplfy it, please follow the format of the list of Naruto. List of Naruto characters.

Shōgakukan no gakushūzasshi

There is some kind of Meitantei Konan comic thing going in in Shōgakukan's gakushūzasshi, or at least in Shōgaku yonensei, as can be seen in the table of contents of the latest issue. Is this a different Meitantei Konan comic title? (212.247.11.156 (talk) 19:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC))

I have no clue what that is. I'd assume its some kind of teaching comics Shogakukan created by using the characters it has under licensed. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 21:27, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Meitantei Conan ???

In Japanese, Conan is read Konan so why in the heading it says "Case Closed, also known as Meitantei Conan", it supposed to be "Case Closed, also known as Meitantei Konan" (the romanji of コナン is "Konan" not "Conan"), reference : see Google Translate then click "Show romanization", its "Konan" not "Conan"...  Kenrick  Talk 05:49, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

There is no way one way is "read". As long as the pronunciation is there, its fine. Conan is more accepted than Konan for the Nihongo 3 templates since Conan is the official direct English translation of the title evidenced though the series, DVD boxes, and others. Also if its noteworthy, C and K sound exactly the same. Google translate is unreliable for romaji translation anyways. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 06:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, Conan comes from "Arthur Conan Doyle", the author who wrote Sherlock Homes, which happens to be an important part of Case Closed. Hence, the Japanese/English translation is not important. Kaito Kat (talk) 22:45, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok... Thx for the explaination....  Kenrick  Talk 14:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
