Adult Swim

Shouldn't we link to Adult Swim's site for Inu Yasha instead? --BlooWilt on the wikiprowl, later! 00:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Adult Swim is just the channel that the anime is shown on. Viz is the company that holds the licensing rights in North America for the anime and manga. Plus, I don't think they have enough information on Inuyasha to warrent a link. Showers 01:05, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Adult swim should be listed here. Every other anime on adult swim has it listed on its page and it is really the only channel that shows Inuyasha in America.--72.88.108.41 (talk) 00:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. At Misplaced Pages, we use reliable references and present information from a neutral point of view. Please see WP:GUIDE for more information before making serious edits. Edits are not brought about by simple popular votes but by consensus reached amongst editors on referenced information. Tourskin (talk) 03:12, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Article List of minor InuYasha characters may be deleted

Please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of minor InuYasha characters and consider expressing your opinion, if you have one. JRSpriggs 01:14, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Similarly, Collectonian (talk · contribs) also nominated InuYasha yōkai list for deletion. See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/InuYasha yōkai list. JRSpriggs 02:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Update: So far the number of users voting delete is much greater than the number voting keep in both cases. JRSpriggs 04:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Update: Unfortunately, as you can see from the red-links above, both of these articles were deleted as a result of the Afds. Please remove any references to them which you see. If you feel that any character which was covered by them must be covered by Misplaced Pages, then add him/her to the surviving article — List of InuYasha characters.

Inuyasha Images

I have done some extensive work on images related to Inuyasha articles. Creating fair-use rationales, putting them into the Inuyasha images category, and resizing pics that don't have a small enough resolution. However, I need help in either

1. identifying the source for the following images or
2. having a new one uploaded.

1. Ah-Un.jpg this one is actually pretty small. it might be better to get a new pic. (suggested resolution is at 0.1 megapixels or a pic at about 300x300 pixels. Its about 1/3 of that.)
2. IY grandpa.jpg I'm pretty sure these two are from one of the movies, but I'm not sure about that.
3. IY myoga.jpg

Any help with this would be great. Showers (talk) 07:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Archive Schedule

As a compromise, I've set it to 60 days. Though that still seems excessive, to me. 14 days is the default, so 30 is already twice as long as that. 60 is longer than what is found on most articles. Most contributions will happen in the first 30 days on a decently active article like this one is. Don't forget, the archiver will only archive something if it has no comment for those days, so now threads will sit here for 60 days without comment before commenting rather than 30 days.

"This article has multiple issues"?

Anyone know where the supposed discussion of what the issues are? Kinda hard to help out if you don't have an idea of what someone sees as a problem. Or if they've already been taken care of, maybe remove the banner. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Ugh, someone went through and changed the casing on the tag, hiding the issues. Grrr....I've replaced it with the original article issues tag. Two big issues are a need for a general clean up and neutrality check, and for more references. It also needs a going over to make sure its focus is on the manga, not just the anime. Collectonian (talk) 02:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah -- thanks. To be honest, I don't see it needing cleanup so much as work -- that is, it needs hella referencing and to have the Reception and background influences on sections beefed up. A series this popular and this rooted in Japanese both history and folklore, it's kinda embarrassing how little information about that is here. Not to mention, how little info on the manga. But structurally and mechanically, it ain't bad. Or at least, for a B-class article. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep...the clean up I noticed is kinda subtle, I guess. For example, there is no consistency in dates. Some are done dd month yyyy while others are month dd yyyy. Per the overall MOS, one needs to be picked and stuck with. The intro is kinda pitiful for a series like this, which has a wealth of resources. It doesn't meet WP:LEAD at all, though it isn't tagged for an intro rewrite right now. The movie section needs formatting. The table for four movies doesn't seem useful and just clutters things (added a tag there). The music section doesn't discuss the music at all, it just shoves in a list of themes, which doesn't really add much to me. And, of course, no production section at all, even though tons of info should be available. :( I do agree, it is kinda embarrassing. There is no reason this article shouldn't be one of our FA pieces. Maybe its time for the project to do a collaboration type thing to really go get it going? Collectonian (talk) 21:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

It does sound like a collaboration candidate, yeah. (If you wikify those dates, though, they should display in the user's perferred format.) —Quasirandom (talk) 03:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion

I have eliminated this 10000% useless information:

'InuYasha has also been dubbed in Mandarin Chinese and aired on Xing Kong, a Taiwanese TV Channel. It was also been dubbed in Bahasa Melayu on NTV7 and currently on TV9.

Because only English and Japanese dubs are welcome. Don't dare to revert this or you¡ll pay it with your life, and I'm not joking. --Twicemost (talk) 20:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
