untitled
[edit]Her name should be written as "Rie fu", not "Rie Fu". As you can see on her official website[1], it's very consistently spelled with a lower-case f. If there aren't any objections, I'm going to revert it. --Chris Love 22:33, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit]
Should it be noted that the English in her songs is unusually elloquent and grammatical, by comparison to other primarily Japanese musicians who include English lyrics in their songs? (case and point, Shoutarou Morikubo's "The Answer") Darien Shields 17:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's not all that surprising given that (according to the article) she lived in the US as child and, last I heard, she was studying art in London. Shiroi Hane 18:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- Surprising? No. Noteworthy? Well, I'd have thought so Darien Shields 19:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Rie who!?
[edit]I have a question about "Rie who!?". On Rie fu's official website, in the discography section, "Rie who!?" is categorized as an album[2] but on here it's categorized as a single. Should this be changed on here? Edancaji 00:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- I think that may be an error on the site. I recall that on an earlier version of the page, it was identified as a single; and it's clearly not a full album, given that it's only three tracks long. Heck, it's not even EP length. I think it's reasonable to assume that the website is just wrong. --Chris Love 02:41, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorting under categories
[edit]"Fu" is not a last name. You can't sort by that. If she showed up under categories as Rie Funakoshi, then of course it'd be sorted by that... but that's not what's happening right now. I don't know what the standard for how you refer to artists with stage names is-- if it should be "Rie Funakoshi" instead, then by all means fix that-- but it's clearly wrong to pretend that half of her stage name is a last name. --Chris Love 22:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia categorizes by the name people are most well known for per WP:NAME. Rie fu is best known as Rie fu in english. Not Riefu or Rie Funakoshi. I assume the fu part stands for her last name Funakoshi anyways so I don't think that it really matters. Showers 22:50, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
No one is saying her last name is "Fu." The {{DEFAULTSORT}} template just controls where the name sorts, for example in lists like Category:Japanese female singers and Category:Japanese singer-songwriters. Without the use of the template, she sorts under R; with it, she sorts under F, which is the right place to put her.
No one is saying her last name is "Fu." This is just about sorting; nothing more.
To carry Shower's point a little further, Reginald Kenneth Dwight is best known as "Elton John" and he sorts under J, not E. (Actually, that's not the greatest example, because he had his name legally changed, but it's the best example that leaps to mind right now; you get my point) -- 03:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don't agree (except that Elton John is a bad example), and I remain unconvinced that being able to find her under F is the right place at all-- but concensus seems to be against me. It's such a minor typographical point, I don't think it's really worth pursuing further. That's fair enough. --Chris Love 19:07, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Additional Song
[edit]Rie Fu has released an additional song called "The Reason Why You Are Here" which was used as the fifth ending theme of the anime D.Gray-man. Being the novice that I am, I ask if someone can clarify this and insert this information into this article since I do not know a lot of information about this artist and I don't want to make any errors in this article. Thank you. PokemontrainerNelly (talk) 00:32, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
