[edit] B-Class

I started this article as a B-class because it seems to be in better shape than anything that will fall in a Start-Class. I plan to visit and correct this page to get it up to a Featured Article. Any help is welcomed. --Guille2015 00:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

• Add ISBN ##########'s to the books. They can be found on the Japanese page.
• Remove a bunch of those external links. See WP:EL for policy.
• References need to be in-lined.

Thanks, I was already planing on doing 2 and 3. ISBN? i never thought of that, great thanks. --Guille2015 23:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd just suggest being careful with elinks, I see no reason to remove anything that is useful.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 02:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Currently im just deleting the links that link to translations to the novels. --Guille2015 02:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I removed a few links in accordance with WP:EL. Glancing at the edit history, one of those external links keeps getting added back after being removed but since it contains nothing but copyrighted material (over 600 screenshots from the anime) which I'm fairly sure the site doesn't own the rights to, it shouldn't be included in that section. -- 9muses 05:10, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

It would appear that the screenshot gallery link has been added to the article once more. After looking at the IP address and comparing the edit history, I suspect the screenshot gallery actually belongs to the person who keeps adding it back, which is a conflict of interest per WP guidelines as well as the copyright issues. -- 9muses 15:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• The series, as in animating all of the stories in the novels, may really not be finished, but after viewing the whole series more carefully and taking some notes, Youko's story actually IS finished, very nicely although very unconventionally. There's almost no more room for her personal growth as she is already on the right path with the right people and has a great romantic interest. Viewers that wait for something more about the main protagonist and want everything played out in front of them only wish to prolong the unevitable - Youko shall not be the main character further on in the series any longer, if the anime follows the novels, of course and if the author doesn't make something spectacular happen (which would be unwise). The novels have more freedom concerning the change of focus characters, the anime took Youko for its focus and many viewers are now baffled by this (probably permanent) shift of focus. Prehaps a clearer note on this in the article may be useful, although up to this point it is just my personal observation. --ZalB 10:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needed

Preferably in another article.

• Characters own Pages and another page for the list of Minor Characters.
• Kingdoms, currently a stub.{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Guille2015 (talk • contribs).

Seems like a plan.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 02:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
