Proposed split of List of Pokémon anime characters

Inactive talk page over at List of Pokémon anime characters, so I'm putting it here as well. (Please respond at the source page, linked directly below)

Eyes needed at Menhera

I have removed what I think is an inappropriate image from this article. The matter could use review by more knowledgeable folks, especially if another image could be suggested. Posting here as I suspect manga/anime art is involved. Mangoe (talk) 02:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Gundams/gunpla

Hello everyone, currently trying to update G gundam page by adding list of gundams in the show and the gunplas released for them. I cited gundam fandom website, my edit was deleted unfortunately for the RS reason and I’m looking to see if anyone can point me in the direction of a credible cite for gundams and gunpla for the page. Thank you for the help. ParTripod (talk) 15:36, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Term consistency on List of Soul Reapers in Bleach

I recently started editing the above page, mainly little grammar tweaks here and there, and noticed the inconsistent way the various Squads/their members are referred to in the article. There's alternating use of Squad One, Squad 1, squad 1, Gotei 13, Gotei Thirteen, Thirteen Court Guard Squads, 13 Soul Reaper captains etc. Can someone tell me if there is a preferred way to refer to the Squads so that I can implement the change and make the page consistent?

Also, the third paragraph of the lead contains the following sentence: "Eventually, the fifth Squad Captain Sōsuke Aizen, the third Squad Captain Gin Ichimaru, and the ninth Squad Captain Kaname Tosen..." — the divisions are written in lowercase for some reason, giving the impression that Aizen is the fifth captain of an unnamed squad rather than the Captain of the Fifth Squad. To me, these should be capitalized or written as "...the Squad Five Captain Sōsuke Aizen..." for e.g., but I didn't want to change anything just yet without asking first, since I've never been involved with any anime-related pages and ik that the various WikiProjects have specific ways certain things are done (I'm aware of my choice of wording there). Any advice/guidance in the matter would be greatly appreciated! -- Carlobunnie (talk) 03:54, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

I can't say I have a huge amount of knowledge on Bleach, but I wonder if these terms are different due to there being various official and fan translations that may not match popularizing different terms. In some cases, even an official manga and official anime translation may not be consistent in terms used.

This is just a guess to be clear, but wouldn't be surprising when it comes to writing about an anime. DarkeruTomoe (talk) 13:51, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Akiba Souken end of service

WP Anime and Manga contributors, for your awareness, Akiba Souken, an anime news website operated by Kakaku.com with 22 years' worth of news articles and interviews with anime creators, will cease operations on 30 September 2024 at 15:00 JST. The website will no longer be available after that time, so I recommend an effort to archive links that use this website for references. I'm uncertain at this time if there's any effort to archive the website as a whole on a different platform. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 18:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

That's a shame, but thanks for the heads up. That way there will be time to find material that could be useful later on. Xexerss (talk) 19:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

There are 177 references to this site.

I wonder if there's any automatic way to run Wayback Machine / update links to the archive. I'm not familiar with Internet Archive Bot or similar projects, but might be useful. DarkeruTomoe (talk) 19:19, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Regarding lead section for lists

So, I have a question for project members: how long should lists for certain articles like List of Slayers light novels, List of Dragon Ball chapters, List of One Piece chapters or List of High School DxD light novels be? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:27, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
