[edit] Proposal: Current series
I think the portal is too "static" right now. An idea would be having, in a very reachable area of the portal, a list of the current series, those airing in Japan, linking to their respective articles.
[edit] grafiti
In the introduction someone has inserted "caitlin denman was here" in the middle of the paragraph. "d anime. caitlin denman was here Manga (漫画, Manga?) is" David Jan 8
[edit] Being Bold
So far, no one has responded to my attempt to start a discussion on this portal, so I've been bold and started updating/overhauling, as noted:
- Updated our entry in the Portal directory to note that the project is still maintaining it
- Updated the to-do list above and did some general clean up on this talk page
- Renamed Selected article/biography to Featured, in keeping with how other portals do it
- Completely overhauled featured article and biography system to use system closer to what other projects do, allowing for random biographies to display on load (making us look less old and stale), and hopefully making it easier to update/maintain the lists
Hopefully none of this was so hideous people find it just absolutely appalling, but of course constructive feedback would be good :) Collectonian (talk) 04:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Continuing my boldness since either no one is objecting or no one is caring (not sure which :P), I've changed the news section from a never updated news section to a general news updates for the project. Collectonian (talk) 22:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- As long as we're being bold here, I might as well try to bring back an old suggestion I made a while back. How about we get rid of the quotes section? It's not really needed, is rather biased as to what characters from what series are quoted, is unsourced, and we already have Wikiquote for such things.--十八 23:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

- Agreed...I've just been trying to think of what to replace it with. Two ideas I've had are to highlight featured lists or to use it to note recent FA/GA's (similar to what is on the project page, but with more listings). Ideas?Collectonian (talk) 00:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

- You mean by transcluding Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/News here and listing the last 10 or so events? As for the FLs, since we do have quite of bit of them now, I'd say that sounds good too.--十八 00:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

- Okay, I went with rearranging, and then making a full blown featured list section similar to the articles and biographies. So far I've loaded in our 20 more recent FLs, and we still have many more that can go in. Kinda sad...we have so many great FLs, and so few FAs :(Collectonian (talk) 05:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Portal Images
A bot has run through and removed all of the non-free highlight images from the featured article, biography, and list blurbs in the portal. Even though its being used the same as it is on the front page for featured articles, it would appear this goes against the non-free image policy.
Considering the portal's area of focus, this left us with one whole image still usable, for the one FA biography we have. I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content#Non-Free Images in Portals to confirm this, and basically got the answer of yep, they have to go. So, to avoid our portal being deft of images for most of our features articles, I've taught myself a new template trick.
For the featured articles, where there is no non-free image, Image:Wikipe-tan in navy uniform.png shows up as a default. Any ideas for which images, either of Wikipe-tan or something else, that might be good for the featured biography and featured list sections? Collectonian (talk) 04:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Requesting Article Feedback
I'm rather new to Wikipedia and as a starting article, I created an article for the anime Comedy. I tried to keep close to the style guidelines; however, since it is my first attempt, I'm bound to have room for improvement. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. --JadeFox (talk) 20:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- You'll probably get better results posting in the project talk at: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga rather than here, as the later gets more traffic. :) You seem to be on the right track with the article though. Make sure to follow the WP:MOS-AM. I did a few quick fixes on some minor issues. For your note on the talk page, you may be right on the need to merge. Perhaps in a single article on the Deep Imagination film collection? Collectonian (talk) 23:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
