New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
Hello Xexerss,
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Npp_backlog_2022-Dec.jpg/400px-Npp_backlog_2022-Dec.jpg)
- Backlog
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
- 2022 Awards
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg/74px-New_page_reviewer_of_the_year_cup.svg.png)
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Psycho-Pass (season 1)
Hi there. I'm not really good with FL or FA but considering the formatting of Psycho-Pass (season 1) I've been wonder if it's possible to nominate this article to GA since it's only 22 episodes. I tried trimming the amount of words per episodes and left a request in the guild. Feel free to edit it. Tintor2 (talk) 19:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
So it was copyedited but I'm kinda confused if a GA nomination is okay considering the title and format.Tintor2 (talk) 02:23, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't have too much experience regarding GA nominations and such. From what I'm seeing, since Psycho-Pass 2 and Psycho-Pass 3 are being treated as stand-alone articles, each including an episode list section, I wonder if the Psycho-Pass and Psycho-Pass (season 1) articles should be merged or if it's ok to leave the latter as it is, since it has more episodes. Regarding the name, I think it's just a convention since the List of Psycho-Pass episodes serves as summary for the three seasons. Xexerss (talk) 02:41, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
By the way, if you are interested I'm also planning to see if Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (film) can become GA. It's already in peer review and apparently the most notable issue is copyediting the plot a bit.Tintor2 (talk) 02:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Box office mojo
Your edits on Dragonball super superhero and Dragon ball super broly seem to be inconsistent The funimation site will obviously inflate their numbers , there is no established rule that the company site is accurate and If Box office mojo is outdated then the same thing could be said for the Dragonball super superhero box-office mojo, as the 86 million dollar figure was months back, it is outdated. You literally claimed that other sources shouldn't be trusted, then put an unreliable source. You either stay consistent with your narrative or stay out this matter. Lord kai07 (talk) 08:07, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Lord kai07: Don't bring your issue with the source here, if you want to, do it on the talk page of the article. Anyway, no idea why you are comparing an established company like Funimation/Crunchyroll, which surely know firsthand the film's gross (given that they were directly involved in its distribution), to self-published/user-generated websites lacking editorial oversight like Kanzenshuu or Sportskeeda. Xexerss (talk) 08:24, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
@Xexerss. It about reliability. They were directly involved, that doesn't mean that they are the most reliable source. Box office mojo should be used on both pages, so why are you removing a valid source, especially when company sites mostly inflate their own numbers. If an unreliable site like crunchyroll can be used, then i don't see any problem in using other sources for the Dragon Ball Super Superhero. As i have mentioned before. Your either stick with your own narrative or accept the changes. Lord kai07 (talk) 14:29, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Lord kai07: Again, you are not justifying why you consider them unreliable; do you have any evidence indicating that they have published articles based on rumors, tweets, or other user-generated content scattered around the web? Is there any previous discussion questioning their reputation? I still don't get your comparison of an established company with editorial oversight to random self-published and user-generated websites where anyone can submit whatever they want and will still be published. I could ask you the same; why are you removing a valid source without giving a valid reason? What do you have to back up the "inflating their own numbers" thing? I suggest you to discuss the issue with citing Funimation at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources to introduce your reasons why you consider them unreliable, so we can reach a consensus to determine whether they are reliable or not. I'm not saying that they are the most reliable source, but just like Box Office Mojo, their figure is just an estimated one, and given that The Numbers (considered reliable as well by Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources) reported a similar figure ([1]) I don't find far fetched what Funimation reported or that the figure may be higher than what BOM reported. I insist that you should discuss their reliability at the article's talk page, WP:A&M/ORS or WP:RSN, because this is the first time I see someone disputing their credibility.

To you
You said the thing that I wrote - 'HunterxHunter Kurapikas memories had sold 1 million copies' is not correct.
But it is correct, and it also has a resource.
Kurapika’s memories - also known as Hunter Hunter volume 0 is an edition what is only sold for the first 1 million viewers of the movie.
I understand that what I first wrote at touch(manga), but I can not understand why you said that 'Hunter Hunter volume 0 has 1 million copies' is not correct. Grandmangojoy (talk) 08:25, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Grandmangojoy: It is not about whether the content that you're adding is correct or not, is about verifiability. Please, read Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth and take the time to familiarize yourself with the policies and guidelines from the site. You've just been adding original research or user-generated/self-published websites for the content that you're adding. Xexerss (talk) 08:29, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Deletion sorting
Hello, I have noticed on some recent AfDs, such as List of parodies in Gintama and Cross Over, you added a note that the discussion was added to the delsort pages for Japan and Anime/Manga, but I found that the pages had not actually been added to the delsort page. Is something not working in a script of yours perhaps, where it is missing the step of actually transcluding the discussion to the delsort page? Bensci54 (talk) 16:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Bensci54: Hi. To be honest, that's just a mistake from my part. When I nominate articles for deletion, I usually just manually copy and paste the format from previous article's deletion discussion pages that I've created, adjusting the Information, and just adding it to the "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log" page of the current day. Next time, I will add the articles nominated for deletion to the respective delsort pages as well. Xexerss (talk) 18:36, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Romanization of Japanese titles
Hi, you have reverted my edits on My Clueless First Friend per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles#Japanese words spelled with the full stop. First, I'd like to point out that '。', or the kuten, is not used in the same manner as the English period/full stop, detailed on the article for Japanese punctuation, and is often used for style without grammatical meaning. Specifically in the case of anime and manga, and in pop culture, it is often used as a distinguishing character, e.g. the first season of Oreimo is titled "Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai" while season two is titled "Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai." (bolding for emphasis; note the period at the end). Other punctuation marks are used this way as well: K-On! and K-On!! (extra exclamation point), Hayate no Gotoku! and Hayate no Gotoku!! (extra exclamation point), Working!! and Working'!! (extra apostrophe), and so on.
Here are some more pages that may be of interest. Since you claim to care about consistency and adhering to Wikipedia's style guide, these should all adhere to the same standards as My Clueless First Friend:
- Anohana (period is present)
- Your Name (period is not present – should be amended)
- Gonna be the Twin-Tail!! (period is present)
- Morning Musume (period is present, three instances)
Template:Nihongo states that the field is to provide a "transliteration of the Japanese word". The Hepburn transliteration/romanization, of "娘。", to give an example, is not "Musume" – it is "Musume.". Hepburn romanization rules do not say to leave off punctuation or other orthographic marks, unless you would like to link me to a source saying this. But, in this context, the English transliteration of the symbol "。" is indeed "." – not emptiness. We do not remove this mark when romanizing Japanese to English and, in fact, in various cases (as described above) it is of pivotal importance it is not removed.
Your edit message also asks "rōmaji is mostly for spelling, how are we supposed to spell a punctuation mark" which is frankly nonsensical. You spell a punctuation mark… with the punctuation mark. And you don't remove it. But, more importantly, "spelling" is a concept and word mentioned only by you. Again, the template doesn't say it should be used to "spell out the Japanese text in English" (and for some reason ignore orthography) – it is to romanize it verbatim. Which is what I am doing, and which is what the majority of pages do across Wikipedia. I'm simply trying to ensure consistency across all the above pages and many more. –Fpmfpm (talk) 02:29, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Fpmfpm: I insist, WP:OTHERCONTENT is not an argument. In fact, the English period is not present in the Your Name article precisely because there were previous discussions about the pointlessness of including the period in the title; there are three discussions at least that you can check on its talk page. The other three articles that you mentioned haven't had this discussion yet; there is no consesus about whether it is correct to include the period or not, but considering the Your Name's talk page discussions and the MOS about Japanese words spelled with the full stop, I am more inclined to think that the titles are wrong and the period should be removed as well. If a full stop is necessary to point out the difference between two titles, like you mentioned in Oreimo, I suppose that it is reasonable to point out the difference somehow in the article, but the MOS about Japanese words spelled with the full stop explicitly states that "。" should not be spelled with ".", and the fact that various articles are still doing it doesn't mean that they're correct. Yes, I care about consistency, but if I know that there are guidelines explicitly stating that including X is incorrect and several articles are still including X because no one has taken the time to fix it, I'm not gonna automatically think that they're fine because they're the majority; sadly, good articles adhering to the guidelines in Wikipedia have never been majority. In any case, I suggest you to bring the issue to WT:MOS-ANIME, so we can reach a consensus there with other editors. Xexerss (talk) 09:34, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Xexerss,
It's important whenever you tag a page for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/RFD/etc.) that you post a notice on the talk page of the page creator. If they are making mistakes, they should be informed and also invited to participate in any deletion discussion. Notifications are easily done if you use the editing tool Twinkle to tag pages for deletion. Once you set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", then Twinkle will post these notices on your behalf. Twinkle also has a lot of awesome other features that help with editing, so much that it is used by most page patrollers and many administrators. I encourage you to try it out! Thank you. Liz Read!

Heavenly Delusion release dates
Hello. I noticed you lowered the release dates for volume 1-3 of Heavenly Delusion by a day. Could you explain why you did so, and why this doesn't apply to volume 4, which uses the same source (the official website)? Siebrenvde (talk) 03:01, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Siebrenvde: I checked the dates on Denpa's site and the dates for the first three volumes appear as following respectively: "2019-12-30", "2021-09-25", "2022-04-05". Volume 4 has the same date that you added. No idea if we're both seeing the same dates on the same site, but that's how I visualize them at least. Xexerss (talk) 03:07, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Xexerss: After changing my timezone to U.S. central the site also displays 30 instead of 31. As Denpa is a U.S.-based company, the 30 and so on are correct. I'll try to remember that Denpa does that in case I ever need to cite them again. Siebrenvde (talk) 03:33, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Siebrenvde: I checked the archived links, just in case, and the dates for the first two volumes now appear as the ones that you added before: 1 2, 3. I don't get the reason behind this issue, but I have no problem with using either of those dates. Xexerss (talk) 03:47, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Berserk and Eponymous
Hi Xexerss,
Just noticed we've got some back and forth about editing the use of eponymous on the manga page for Berserk. I've removed it several times and explained my reason in the edits. Can I ask you your reason for adding it back in when discussing Star Wars in the Concept and Influences section?
Thanks! Hunterongames (talk) 07:30, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Hunterongames: I'm sorry, but I still don't get why do you insist that the way the term was used is incorrect. I get it the first time, using the term after mentioning George Lucas was wrong, but now it was correctly applied since the film shares the name with the franchise (considering that the film is simply called "Star Wars" and not "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope"). May I ask how would you word the sentence to apply the term in a better way? Xexerss (talk) 18:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Hunterongames: "eponymous: of, relating to, or being the person or thing for whom or which something is named : of, relating to, or being an eponym"[2] The term doesn't exclusively imply that to be "eponymous" something has to be named after one thing that precedes it (which seems to be the reason why you think that the term was incorrectly applied), but they could be simply related (franchise and film). Xexerss (talk) 19:02, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Xexerss Thanks for your reply!
- I would explicitly say "...George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars franchise,....the eponymous 1977 film..."
- To me it is not clear that the first reference is talking about the franchise as opposed to the film, making it a circular reference: the name of the film Star Wars comes from the film Star Wars. I would still prefer to get rid of the word eponymous entirely. The section uses it 3 times, so it comes off as repetitious.
- I take your point about eponymous being used both for the original person or thing, and the thing that is named after it. But the way the sentence is worded now makes it seem circular.
- This might seem too pedantic, but why are we referring to the original name of the movie? Nowadays, it is called Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. If we use the current title, it is not eponymously named. For instance, IMBD has it listed under the current title, with the original title in parentheses below. People who have changed their names are listed on wikipedia using the name they currently use or are well-known by - I'm thinking of actors/actresses, authors (Robert Jordan, for example, is not listed under his birth name of James Oliver Rigney Jr), etc. Hunterongames (talk) 09:13, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Hunterongames: I don't think that there is a limit regarding of how many times we can use a specific word in a particular section and the use is justified anyway. Well, that's why we have specific articles for the franchise and the first film, and both are accordingly linked in the sentence, but nevermind, I reworded it. Regarding the use of the original title instead of the current one, I think that it is simpler to address it by the current name of the article, and as for the reason why the article is called like that, I suppose that has something to do with WP:COMMONNAME; in the talk page of the film's article must be plenty of discussions where the consensus was that it should be called "Star Wars (film)" instead of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope". Xexerss (talk) 20:31, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Xexerss Just checked the page - looks perfect! Thanks for the civil discussion. Hunterongames (talk) 05:53, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Just know I'm not the one who added it, I simply corrected a ill-written sentence that somebody else already made. I myself would have never added it. GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 00:04, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Not sure if you know Japanese but can you check List of Dragon Ball films on whether or not the Box office performance and Home video sales sections are accurate? Timur9008 (talk) 16:48, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Timur9008: Sorry, I wouldn't really know how to answer and I don't have that much time to check them one by one. All I can tell you is that the article has various edits done by User:Scabab, which incurred in original research in most of their edits and is currently blocked. My best guess is that they messed up with the numbers so they should probably be fixed. Cheers. Xexerss (talk) 17:42, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Any idea who I can ask for help? I've already tried at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga Timur9008 (talk) 13:49, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe you could try asking at Wikipedia:Teahouse. Also, there are websites like [3] and [4] that can be useful to extract text from images and then use a translation tool. The problem is that VHS covers cited in the article look kinda blurry. Xexerss (talk) 19:39, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Sublist
Do you think List of The Ancient Magus' Bride episodes could be split now that the second season was released? Still, I really don't know how to do that. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 00:15, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Perhaps when the season is over. Three episodes may not be enough yet to warrant a split, but that's my opinion. Xexerss (talk) 01:57, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- About Power (Chainsaw Man), could you give it a look? Several sources are awards or commentary primarily focuses on her, but I'm not sure if it has weight enough to stand out. Since you wrote most of the big Chainsaw Man article, I thought you were more skilled with the series than others especially if the some sections could be expanded.Tintor2 (talk) 22:27, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Tintor2: Looks fine to me at the moment. Surely it could be improved. There must be a bunch of sources in other languages out there. Regarding the other Chainsaw Man articles, I mainly focused on the non-in-universe stuff sections, so I'll see if I can help with something when I can. Cheers.

Jujutsu Kaisen
Hi, I just need to understand if I have to write "curse" or "Curse", "jujutsu sorcerer" or "Jujutsu Sorcerer". Since in the Jujutsu Kaisen article is written in one way and in the articles about Yuji Itadori, Ryomen Sukuna and other characters is written in another way. (Sorry for my English) Then I'll try to write it in the correct way in all the articles. But you'll have to let me edit please, and not reverting everything. 80.116.94.115 (talk) 22:01, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. Per the talk page's discussion, these terms should be capitalized, since they have their own meaning within the series. I get your point due to the inconsistency from article to article, but keep in mind that there are several editors making their edits without necessarily adhering to some kind of rule and just making them based on their own criteria. That's why is important to reach some consensus and that's why I started a discussion before. I hope we have reached an understanding. Cheers. Xexerss (talk) 22:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

- EDIT: Actually, I noticed that it is written as "Simba". I guess the article's title should be discussed on the talk page, but don't change it just like that without previous consensus. Sites like Anime News Network, however, write the name as "Shimba Tsuchiya"[8][9][10][11], so I suppose it's a naming convention per WP:COMMONNAME. Xexerss (talk) 23:53, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, expanded a bit more the Vagabond (manga) article. Since I never collected it I think we need help to put the chapter list in the volumes like somebody did with Heavenly Delusion. Feel free to revise anything. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:32, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Xexerss, I added the cast list of Blue Lock stage play, and the information is correct. May I know what's your concern to delete the information of that? If there's no proper reason, I'd like to ask to put the information back. Thanks! NBNGCAT0330 (talk) 08:37, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Done. On a personal note and to be frankly, I don't enjoy that much creating articles about light novels with manga adaptations, mainly due to the time that it takes me compared to create average anime and manga articles. Also, I don't have that much time lately, so I don't think I will be able to make another one of this kind in a short period of time. I hope you understand. Cheers.

Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

More IP vandalism on Apocalypse (character)
Probably the same user you rollbacked earlier, I don't have any of the tools or rights to deal with it myself but it seems to be getting past automatic vandal detection by itself so you might have to check in and RB again every few days. Orchastrattor (talk) 01:26, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

If the IP continues making the same edits in the article, just undo them in "View history" and warn them on their talk page. If the IP range 2.182.102.105/18 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) continues making the same edits, they should be reported at WP:AIV.

I've been looking everywhere for citations regarding the day dates for the publication of Uzumaki.

GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 23:02, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- @GalaxyFighter55: No problem. It's not like I necessarily thought that the dates were wrong, but I think that dates are just like any other piece of information that needs to be verified from some kind of source, and sadly, for older series, these are very hard to find. I've seen some editors adding dates listed on MyAnimeList in other articles, but not only is it an unreliable source, but I've checked more than once that they have indicated incorrect dates. Xexerss (talk) 23:42, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

- @M.A.LasTroniN910: Sorry, I don't really know Japanese. I suggest you to install some translate extension to your web browser like Google Translate or Mate Translate to directly translate the article.

- wouldnt that have to source all 67 episodes? thatd be a bit much just to source who sang a few songs but also that english skipped three of themMuur (talk) 21:27, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- I think that one or two episodes (the first and the last one) per song are enough for that. What matters is to have some kind of source to verify the content provided. It would be better to have a single source that can immediately confirm it, but citing episode credits is fine too. Xexerss (talk) 21:38, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Planetes
I've been trying to clean up the article Planetes with all the sources that interviewed Yukimura and reviews archived but the production still feels kinda limited as Yukimura is often asked more about Vinland Saga. Still, what I find curious is the manga being only four volumes long and it has a list with summaries. Do you suggest the idea of merging the manga list? Cheers. Tintor2 (talk) 22:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

However I think it's important that we use the full title when referring to it as a "franchise." I have translated Manga before and Kimetsu no Yaiba does not translate to Demon Slayer (It means the blade that destroys demons more or less). It is part of and an extension of the main title and is trademarked so I feel it is warranted that we refer to it as the "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" franchise. Kimetsu no Yaiba appears on the manga covers, the streaming title on Netflix, the Blu Rays, the IMDB page, the Google Reviews page etc.

- I sincerely apologize Xexerss. As a translator myself, I get very touchy about titles. Thank you for being civil about this. Again, let's leave the references to "demon slayer" in quotes as is, and change up the references to the series as a franchise.
- Thank you again for being understanding. NezukoKamado (talk) 11:52, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
My bad.
Wasn't aware that AnimeNewsNetwork shouldn't be shortened to ann, just assumed it could because it worked. GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 06:10, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- @GalaxyFighter55: I thought the same too, but I've seen more experienced editors correcting that in several articles for some reason, perhaps some MOS or some kind of consensus which I am not aware of. Xexerss (talk) 06:16, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Master license and licensing agreements.
As you reverted my edits over the missing sources, the Licensing Global website is a prime example to keep a few sources at bay. See one here, here and here. Dude, Toei's US subsidiary is the master license holder for some shows like Dragon Ball, Toriko, One Piece and Sailor Moon. 142.113.187.47 (talk) 10:50, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- You really should discuss that at WP:A&M before making those kind of edits. Still, you didn't provide any source in the articles anyway, so your edits are just WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. Xexerss (talk) 10:54, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Have you read them? Thanks for the tip! Give me some love. Plus I am inviting you to discuss this idea how we can correct the rights and wrongs. Thanks again. -142.113.187.47 (talk) 11:05, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Psychopass shonen or srinen
Various sources descrive psychopass as seinen !!. Just because its in shonen magazine doesnt mean ots shonen there was a josei manga is nhonen magazine. U cant put sources because wikipedia block these urls. The info is on google 46.71.17.102 (talk) 14:18, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, the fact that it is published in a shōnen magazine literally means that it is a shōnen series, that's not under discussion, no matter what kind of sources you want to provide to support that stance. The content of the series has nothing to do with demographic categories. All kind of info is available searching on Google, reliable or not, so I don't know what you want to prove with that. Xexerss (talk) 03:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Some seinen mamga were in shonrn magazines such as gangsta. Just brcause its shonen magazine doesmt meean all manahs are shonen. Irrelevant,if sources orovr it is seinen than it is seinen. Its nit automatically just make believe if its in shonen magazine that it is shonen. No offence but wikipedians really are self righteous . Unless you prove by slurces and analysis that its shonen 46.71.125.129 (talk) 13:28, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- This doesn't work like that. In the first place, you should find out how demographic categories work. This doesn't require sources and exhaustive analysis, demographic categories are simply dictated by the magazines where the series are published. It doesn't matter how grim and violent a series may be, if it is published in a shōnen magazine, is a shōnen manga. The fact that you may consider that a series deals with mature themes and is not suited for boys, is your personal interpretation and completely irrelevant for the purposes of this site. Also, Gangsta is published in a seinen magazine, so I don't get what you're talking about. Xexerss (talk) 21:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- how thr content doesnt have to do with demographic ,makes no sense sorry. If teenage boys arent in the age to grasp violence,psycholigical themes,raoes,serial killers and etc. I am sorry but this is not about your evaluation and perception of how it is,but rather how objectively its righteous to be 46.71.125.129 (talk) 13:31, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

- Please be civil about when interacting with other users. The shonen and seinen demographies are only used for manga versions of Psycho-Pass. For example, the prequel Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kogami was published in a seinen magazine and its first chapters are quieter than the first manga Inspector Akane Tsunemori that was published in a shonen manga magazine. Animes have different ratings in the same way as some novels too. Believe or not Devilman was also published in a shonen manga magazine and it was one of the most violent series ever written.Tintor2 (talk) 19:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Well if prrquel- second manga is published in seinen amagzine it os safe to assume that its seinen than right ? So it wouldnt be wrong to change the demographic as seinen. 46.71.125.129 (talk) 08:36, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- No, demographic categories are not something that can be inferred. Both magazines where the series was published are labeled as shōnen magazines, so it's a shōnen manga. Xexerss (talk) 08:38, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- You firstly say kagame manga is seinen and than claim because its in shonen magazine it becomes shounen. Cant magazines do exceptions ?? 46.70.51.23 (talk) 01:33, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

- How ironic, you say that "this is not about your evaluation and perception" and yet you're still claiming that a series should not be considered a shōnen manga, because YOU consider that it deals with themes that YOU consider that are not suited for boys. If the publisher decided to publish the work in a shōnen magazine in the first place, they had their reasons to do so, and considered that it was appropriate to publish it there. You can question yourself whether that was the right decision or not, but that doesn't change the fact that it was published in a shōnen magazine and therefore it's a shōnen manga. What you or anyone else consider to be appropriate or not for teenage boy readers has no relevance here. Xexerss (talk) 21:32, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not becaise i sonsoer becausr objectively people consider as well as there are basics of what is for what age i am sure . No one would claim saw as a kids movie right besides official age classification. This is the same understanding and basis. 46.71.125.129 (talk) 08:37, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- The people working at the publishing company that decided to publish the manga in a shōnen magazine considered that the content of the series was appropriate to be published there, and that's the fact. I wouldn't recommend a 12-year-old boy to read Chainsaw Man or Attack on Titan, I would recommend him to read Mushishi instead, for example, but that doesn't change the fact that the former series were published in shōnen magazines and the latter in a seinen magazine. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Demographic categories are not something up for interpretation and discussion. If you PERSONALLY think that a series is not ok for boys is another thing. We, editors, are not the ones who decide, based on the series content, whether they belong to shōnen or seinen demographics, again, for the last time, they only depend on the own magazine's target audience, and any other interpretation, based on the potential objectionable content of the series, is against WP:NPOV. The demographic categories of magazines are not equal to age ratings and film classification. Xexerss (talk) 08:47, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Ok than why is onr punch man published in shounen magazine but is considered as seinen. Perhaps i got the wrong examole with gangsta ,but what about opm?. Its in shonen jump but is seinen 46.70.51.23 (talk) 01:29, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- In Japan, One-Punch Man is published in Tonari no Young Jump, the online version of Weekly Young Jump, a seinen magazine. In North America, however, the manga was previously published in Weekly Shonen Jump (which is not the same Japanese Weekly Shōnen Jump). For demographics, we should just follow the demographic of the magazine where the series is originally published. Xexerss (talk) 01:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for polishing up the Your Lie In April page! I wanted to ask you about the inclusion (in this case exclusion) of the anime adaptation in the opening paragraph. I've heard a lot of conflicting opinions on this. Is there a precedent one way or the other? I'm assuming the precedent is to do it the way you did, but it can't hurt to double-check. 216.164.249.213 (talk) 18:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- The way the lead was worded is not the standard (just check other GA anime/manga pages to see what I mean; no other article starts with something like "[series title] is a [manga/anime] series by [name of the author] that has been adapted into [list of the type of adaptations]"). Also, the live-action film adaptation was linked twice in the same lead and no one took the time to fix that. Xexerss (talk) 19:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, got it. Totally missed the 2x link, my bad. 216.164.249.213 (talk) 20:33, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
