Kuwabara

So far I have seen Kuwabara's dad only once in the manga, but it is still unusual that he addresses his son as "Kaz" - And also he is Kuwabara's own father, yes? I really think it should be included. Especially since I don't see any sourced commentary that is more important than that information. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:46, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your reasoning, however character bios should cover the series pertinent information. Anything past that, nicknames, hobbies, likes/dislikes, even age unless it is totally relevant, is trivial and not needed. If it was a nickname used my multiple main characters it would be relevant, but a nickname used once in the manga, by a character that only appears once in the manga, isn't that important. Even the fact that Shizuru and Yukina call him Kazuma is not relevant to the character himself or the plot of the anime and thus not needed in an encyclopedic record. StryyderG (talk) 20:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, having one's sister and one's quasi-girlfriend call a person by one's given name ("Kazuma") while other people call that person by their family name ("Kuwabara") isn't unusual in Japan. However it's rare for one's father to use a seemingly slangy nickname. However I'll just wait and see how many more times Kuwabara's father appears in this series. It still has some chapters to go before its publication in the US jump is over. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
True enough, though I'm curious what the actual Japanese translation is. Having one's parent use a nickname, such as Kazu-kun, wouldn't be very unusual either. StryyderG (talk) 22:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

YuYu Hakusho

Hi. You recently noted in the talk page of YuYu Hakusho that it's reception in the lead is not sourced. It is sourced, within the appropriate Reception section. Guidelines state that refs are generally not used in the lead section of an article. ~ Hibana 02:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see, thanks for pointing that out. StryyderG 03:58, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

"Four Saint Beasts"?

Hey there StryyderG. Please tell me this was only the dub. The manga simply uses "Four Beasts", right? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct. I've reverted this edit countless times. The Manga uses the translation "The Four Beasts" StryyderG (talk) 23:00, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:21, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Query

Hey bud. Just one thing, did Kurama and the demons he trained with near the final arc fly in the manga? I never read that scene, nor did I come across the part where their power levels were being scanned (until the point where the scanner exploded). So what exactly did it show? I just know it happened in the anime. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:35, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!


Stats
If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you edited in the May 2010 GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive, your word totals are cumulative for barnstars (not the leaderboard). Over the course of the next week or two, we will be handing out the barnstars.
