Concerns with citations for TMS Entertainment...

I've looked into the article of TMS Entertainment and I am very concerned about the lack of citations. Now I'm not doubting the research that has been done about the company, however, the lack of citations means that certain segments of the article cannot be fact checked. In response to this, I've added direct links to the Japanese pages of TMS Entertainment and Telecom Animation (a subsidiary of TMS Entertainment). If anyone is proficient in translating Japanese and is good with finding sources, please use those native pages to improve the information that has been provided to TMS Entertainment. I feel that this is imperative to solve as it is considered as Top-Importance on the importance scale Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

I've done some small work on it but I don't think this is something that needs to be rushed. Removing OR and other unsourced claims are easy enough but properly developing the article will take time. Some of the things that need doing or could be added are tied in to things I'm already working on and I already have arguably the best English language book source for the early history of the company.SephyTheThird (talk) 19:54, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help and input. Admittedly, I placed the original research about the textile origins only because it was from the original Japanese Wikipedia page of TMS Entertainment. My only real concern is the citation for Sega's acquisition. Apparently, Sega acquired TMS Entertainment before they merged with Sammy. I've struggled to find evidence of that, however, it must have happened (if Merill Lynch was the second largest stakeholder before "Sega Corp."). Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 20:08, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Handling Kindle releases

There has been a lot of manga, including older manga, begin released for the Amazon Kindle, this has been a great boon for getting quality cover images as they aren't as blurry, washed out, or have fewer compression artifacts. But as far as article content, how should we go about handled these releases? Should their dates be added to the {{Graphic novel list}} or should the Kindle release only be mentioned in the article text? Is it even worth mentioning at all? —Farix (t | c) 15:08, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

At most I would mention them in article text as "was also released through ebooks.." or the like. Keep in mind that there is also the Nook, Tolino, Boox, and Bookeen to name a few. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:31, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Anime Now RS

Was directed here after adding Anime Now as a refidea to an article. I believe it easily qualifies as a reliable source due to the staff members' past experience: managing editor Richard Eisenbeis has written for Kotaku, GameZone and GamePro; Sarah Nelkin has written for Anime News Network; Toshi Nakamura has written for Kotaku; Brittany Vincent has written for Rolling Stone; and Renato Rivera Rusca has written for Mechademia.--IDV^talk 18:49, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I brought this up a while ago Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources#Animenow before the link to ANN and the Industry was formerly announced. Even at that point the contributors had all been verified and vetted. Definitely RS. SephyTheThird (talk) 18:52, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

It should be added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources then. As a formality you might also want to start a discussion over at WP:RSN to further back up the claim in case the source is challenged in the future. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:43, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Scryed

The article Scryed has been copyedited with the user suggesting to move it to s-CRY-ed based in its merchandising. I tried doing that but a red warning stopped it. Any ideas? I plan to nominate it ga once I am back from my wikibreak. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 00:44, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

The article has been titled s-CRY-ed for over 10 years so I am not sure what the problem is.--64.229.167.158 (talk) 05:45, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

That is the display title a user put.Tintor2 (talk) 12:57, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Do you mean decapitalize the S? Because it has been moved: just look at the URL. And I don't believe pages can be moved to lowercase titles: see for example iPhone; the article is titled IPhone and uses DISPLAYTITLE. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 13:52, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

So should I request in wp:requested moves?Tintor2 (talk) 16:33, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Ah, now I get your point GS Palmer. Thanks.Tintor2 (talk) 18:56, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Moka Akashiya

It looks like this page needs watching, Anthony Duran is back doing exactly what got him blocked months ago. - Knowledgekid87 (talk)

From previous experiences, I think this article needs more information in the reception section in order to pass notability. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 17:04, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Afro Samurai

Could anyone that is familiar with this show please check the edits the anon made to List of Afro Samurai characters. I reverted it to the last version by a registered user since the edits looked suspicious (didn't warn the user). If the edits are okay and not vandalism please feel free to undo my revert.

Manga vs. manhwa with regard to yaoi and yuri

Hi, all. I've been meaning to address this: In very recent years, I've seen same-sex romantic and/or sexual manhwa referred to as either yaoi or yuri, or as BL (Boys' Love) or GL (Girls' Love). And I don't just mean by the fans, but by authors on sites such as Lezhin Comics. Despite this broader use, we don't yet note it in the Yaoi or Yuri (genre) articles. Thoughts? Any reliable sources noting that Korean authors may use these Japanese terms for their comics?

Manhwa is also commonly labeled "manga" on manga sites.

I'll alert the talk pages of those two articles to this section. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 06:01, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
