Happy to have you on board! Thanks for the additions! --SykoSilver (talk) 18:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

メンズラブ is katakana, not hiragana. :) Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks again for help with the bara article, I really appreciate it. --SykoSilver (talk) 20:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:June Almost Crying Mako Takahashi.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:June Almost Crying Mako Takahashi.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Citing formats

Do not change citing formats that are already established, such as those in Bishojo game without reason, notably that most of the sources will be from academic papers or the like requiring citing from multiple pages and this format makes it easier for citing such. I used that particular style for a specific reason. It is used in other similar genre-level articles such as Role-playing game. Also, while Jones may have confused terms, you need verifiable evidence to support that claim.陣内 _Jinnai 19:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand about changing the attributes to Jones, however, the work while it is a snippet, all formats I've seen for citing such papers where its more than a few pages (and even this case study clearly is), cite page numbers. At the very least, they cite the page number range, in this case Jone's case study, as its not the entirety of the journal.陣内 _Jinnai 21:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BL roundtable

I'm hoping for a few more reviews from different sources, so we can make an article on the book, like those in Category:Books about manga. Kinukitty's criticism on the rape theory made me cringe, because that's in our article from Suzuki's 1999 book chapter, so it's not like the theory originated with BLM. Please could you keep the yaoi article in mind when you read the book, so that useful stuff from the latter can make it into the former? Thank you. --Malkinann (talk) 22:00, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Thorn thinks Fujimoto's got her head screwed on right, so it would be a good read. Of course, the book page on Google books is locked so I can't see if 'imbued with innocence' is cited to something else. Thanks for reading the book with wikipedia use in mind. --Malkinann (talk) 22:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok, thanks

Thanks for your help, even though my question was unconstructive. =) 208.120.25.41 (talk) 20:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Fusanosuke Inariya - Maiden Rose V1 - June.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Fusanosuke Inariya - Maiden Rose V1 - June.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translator suggestions

Awesome! The main Japanese-speaking person in WP:ANIME is User:Nihonjoe, but I believe Category:Translators ja-en is used to identify people who are capable of translating from Japanese to English for Wikipedia purposes. A couple of years ago, Matt Thorn came on Wikipedia and cited some Japanese papers he had access to, but his workload has picked up since then and I doubt he would have the time to help. --Malkinann (talk) 08:24, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

English Mizoguchi paper

Thought you'd like to know about this:

Comics Worlds and the World of Comics: Towards Scholarship on a Global Scale (PDF). Kyoto, Japan: International Manga Research Center, Kyoto Seika University. pp. 145–170. ISBN 978-4-905187-01-1.

(3.4 MB, whole book)

It's taking revisions until the 20th of November. --Malkinann (talk) 10:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lucky you! The way that this book is presented on the website, it seems to me that when the draft has been revised that it may not remain online? --Malkinann (talk) 01:13, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for that - I've sent you an email using the "Email this user" option in the toolbox at the side of the screen. --Malkinann (talk) 18:16, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May I also have a copy of the Ito paper? My many thanks! Timothy Perper (talk) 15:20, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yaoi pictures from Animexx

The German Wikipedia has been using Animexx to provide pictures for their articles on shonen-ai and yaoi, and I'm not sure on how to rearrange the pictures in the article here. I've started a discussion here if you'd like to participate. --Malkinann (talk) 22:59, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to use asterisks in commenting, please remember not to put an extra carriage return between the last person's and your comment. It just breaks the whole asterisk format.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bishōjo

If I retracted the move and submitted a move request to bishoujo and bishoujo game, given some of the comments you've made that "ou" is better than a simple "o", would you support that compromise?∞陣内 Jinnai 01:13, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
