[edit] A&M Christening
I believe in being terse, but this is morose. This place is open for business, so let's get to the gettin'. Eluchil 12:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I'm updating the news pages at least weekly. What time frame were you looking for that, daily, or...?--み使い Mitsukai 04:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Selected series vs. Featured article
I think there should be an anime/manga-related feature article instead of a featured series. I mean, there aren't that many series and most of them have small articles/stubs. Therefore, I can't imagine the featured series having a very broad scope; a featured article however... there are many great anime/manga-related articles in Wikipedia, and we can create more. Just out of curiosity, how often is the featured series supposed to be updated? -- Y Ynhockey || Talk Y 22:32, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- The original plan was once a week, but I haven't really had the time to work on this. Feel free to play around with it if you're interested! —Kirill Lokshin 00:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Volunteers for Sections
I just updated the "Weekly" biography, which has been sorely left as is for quite some time. Considering that there seems to be only three people watching this portal, I suggest that until we get more participation, we pick a section to monitor. I can do news, since I'm already doing that, and I think Nihon's interested in the featured article/selected series/whatever it's gonna be. Should we alternate on the biographies, or does anyone else have an idea?--み使い Mitsukai 00:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think we should merge Selected Biography and Selected Series into Featured Article. Then we can suggest featured articles and vote on them for each week. Or, to save time, immediately vote for the next 4-5 weeks. -- Y Ynhockey || Talk Y 09:04, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Devilman
Could someone who knows this series contribute to Joan of Arc in art#Comic books and anime? The article on the Japanese rock band Janne Da Arc says the band's name comes from a character in this manga. Please add a line to provide the year of release for the episodes where this character appears and any resemblance the character has to the historical Joan of Arc. Also (in general) the anime section is badly in need of release dates. Expert attention is welcome! Thanks, Durova 18:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AnimeNfo.com article in danger.
I am having a dispute with some people who consider my article on animenfo.com as spam or advertising (and they are being quite condescendent about it). That website is reffered to in many anime articles, as a search for animenfo confirms. It is a useful database and review website for the anime scene, and much like imdb.com deserves an article on wikipedia. Similar websites for the equally "unencyclopedic" topic of videogames have large articles, such as gamespot.com, gamespy, etc. If you would like to help, please visit the animenfo.com article and post on the Discussion to help convince people about the usefulness of this article.

- Just found the A&M portal page today, but quite glad that the AFD failed. I rather think that animenfo.com seems to be one of the more useful anime sites out there. (My main one's animeyume, but we won't go there...) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

- While it is a very useful databae for anime information, it does not warrant its own Wiki article. It is best served as an External Link from various anime related articles. KyuuA4 16:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[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] Updates needed
FYI: The Selected series needs to be stocked up. This is week 22, and there are no selections made beyond this week. I also added a "to do" box to the top of this talk page, listing some other tasks. But, the "selected series" is most urgent. -Aude (talk | contribs) 14:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- I thought there was a consensus that for the selected series we would be using the WP:AMCOTW, so whatever was collaborated on for the previous week. Since this was the case, we would have to wait until Saturday before the Selected series gets updated. --Miss Ethereal 14:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- It appeared from looking at the archives, that some weeks' selections hadn't been made. I now see the discussion on Portal talk:Anime and manga/Selected series/2006. That arrangement is fine with me. -Aude (talk | contribs) 16:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- I went back in time with my time machine and filled in the selected series with series that WP:AMCOTW collaborated on. Though my quantum drive is sort of broken, so hopefully I'll remember (or someone else will remember) to keep it up to date. :P --Miss Ethereal 20:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I archived the August news items and posted a couple items for December, so I went ahead and crossed that off the to-do list. But it looks like there needs to be a selected series and biography chosen for this week (49)? -- 9muses 12:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use images
I removed the images in the selected article, introduction, selected biography section, as they are violations of Wikipedia's fair use policy. Please remember that fair use images can only be used in the article main spaces (the main page though is an exception)--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 12:18, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'd always considered Portals to be "encyclopedia content", just not articles. If this concept is correct, then shouldn't WP:FAIR be amended to allow for fair-use pictures which are used to substantially add to the encyclopedic content in portals? While not technically "articles" they're reader-facing pages, I think. Comment encouraged. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 00:33, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- If you think that the policy should be ammended and that portals should be allowed the usage of fair use images, feel free to propose it on WP:FAIR. Until then, fair use images are not allowed on portals (thus I'm removing that image of Ed currently in the biography section).--TBCTaLk?!? 08:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
An amendment is now being discussed here: Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals --GunnarRene 14:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About the break
As TheFarix noted on my talk page, I broke the portal. It broke because I didn't move the corresponding templates and the portal used relative links. I've moved the templates so everything should be fixed :). — JeremyTalk 05:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] top anime column
how about adding top 10 anime (tv and other and also manga) of the month, based on japanese trend. 69.88.4.165 03:05, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Andre, Indonesia, October 20, 2006
[edit] Anime Style
I was thinking of the possibility of creating a list of visual or styleistic motifs common to anime. I realize that anime is extremely diverse and nothing appears in every anime but some thematic and artistic styles are common.
What do you think? Symmetric Chaos 22:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- Seems like a good idea.--SUIT 00:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
