What are the smaller symbols over larger ones for?
I had to ask ShonenSuki something, and I happened to see your post while I was there. I can't read kanji or any other Japanese writing, but I do know that those smaller symbols are called furigana. They're used to help the reader with pronunciation, I think. Darth Havoc (talk) 04:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Darth Havoc is right, the smaller signs are furigana, usually written in hiragana or katakana. The basically show how a kanji is supposed to be pronounced. For example, the kanji would have the hiragana じんちゅうりき as the furigana. However, they can also be used to bring more nuance to the text. To take 人柱力 as an example again: it wouldn't be strange to see these kanji with the katakana, for example when an Akatsuki member is talking about Naruto as the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. I've also seen the kanji for  and  with the names for Sasuke and Itachi as furigana, or those of Gaara and Kankurō. --ShounenSuki (talk 09:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Narutopedia Ranks
Those are obsolete. We used to alias bureaucrat=kage, sysop=jonin, rollback=tokubetsu jonin, user=genin, anon=academy student just for some fun. However I removed this recently because people started to ask for "chunin exams" and "promotions" and were turning simple permission flags into a social status game. The userboxes were created then. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 16, 2009 @ 19:17 (UTC)

Parallels to "foreign" games and series
Some people tend to add parallels to other games and serieses hinting that Naruto is some kind of a rip-off of that game or series. From the top of my head I can only recall the parallel put to some monster in Dragon Ball called Ino Shika Cho, some minor (I think) Naruto character had "strong resembelence" to some Bleach character, and then we have these quotes: "Rock Lee (like several other characters through the series) hold a strong resemble and may even be based off of video game character Wangtang from Capcom's Arcade game, Power Stone. (...)". Are these things okay to have in the articles, or should they be removed? ~Hakinu (talk 21:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Those kind of statements are pure speculation, they have no basis to them. Frankly you can round up a few dozen anime/manga/games, look for similarities between characters in them, and you're almost guaranteed to find some. If you're looking for something you're going to find it, that doesn't mean it's at all relevant to the series. If someone had some citation that Kishimoto was influenced by something, coming from an interview, then ya it makes a good trivia note. But comparing naruto to X of Y type of media and saying that part of naruto MIGHT be based on it, is junk. There's far more complexity to that, it could be completely random, or it could be that both of the things were influenced by the same thing, that doesn't mean any relevance between them. For example, Soul Eater has Shinigami, Bleach has Shinigami, and Death Note has Shinigami. All are based of Japanese Shinigami, that doesn't mean that the series have any connection to each other or were based on each other in any way. While this one is obvious a lot of these subtle "might be based off of" may actually be because there was something they both were based on in Japanese myth which we, as foreigners are not familiar with. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jun 3, 2009 @ 21:22 (UTC)

Re: Problem
It's the "report a problem with this page" tab at the top of every article. The problems themselves are listed at Special:ProblemReports. As you can see, it's not used much. I assume it's a way for people unfamiliar with wikis to bring a problem to others' attention. ~SnapperTo 00:12, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Tossing the question to a random sysop (that's you! you're one lucky bunny.)
You probably went to the wrong person for this then. Heh. Anyway, both in universe and out, when people who sustain typical amounts of damage that would result in death (decapitation, heart being pierced by lightning, cut in half ect) they are considered dead, unless we have a reason to NOT think their dead (for example, Kakashi during the Invasion of Pain. All evidence looked like he was dead. Then they kept showing us his corpse, constantly raising doubt on his he was dead or not.)--TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:00, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Nice to have it solved. And you are right, when the amount of sections is closing into 40, it is probably time to archiving. :) Jacce | Talk 14:32, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

File links
How do you make it so a smaller picture appears on an article with a small description of the image bellow it, and when you click the smaller image it brings you to the larger original picture file. Example: Kunai

New Photo
I replaced the photo for the Double Lariat i can't tell did i break any image rules.

Re: Rex
I'm willing to assume that was a mistake. ~SnapperTo 03:50, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Frustrating bug (don't know if it actually is that, but it seems like that)
"You don't have permissions" is usually a session thing. After awhile your session changes or something, and as a result the security token has changed and you see that message since the one embedded in the diff page is different than the actual security token for your current session. Just go back to the page and refresh then re-hit the revert. As for the stuff on image pages, file reverts and page reverts are two different things. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 26, 2009 @ 05:45 (UTC)

Re: Psst.
Those warnings work a bit different than normal templates. You have to put them in as file name. You don't have to sign it yourself, either. --ShounenSuki (talk 14:32, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Hakinu, please help me
Hi Hakinu, you helped me on the Uzumaki Naruto talk page... I'm sorry if I'm a bother about the licensing and the tags. I know what they are, the problem is: I don't know how to license them in the edit page. When I uploaded Killer Bee's pic I saw the licensing bar where I could change the license acording to anime or manga. Please bear with me. For example on the Rasen Shuriken page, I uploaded a picture of his red rasenshuriken from the second artook into the trivia section and I licensed it, however this time it considered for deletion, because there is no summary... Where do I edit the summary? I'm new to Narutopedia, please help me. I know it might be simple, but I still don't understand... I wasn't always the brightest lightbulb in the bunch...Sparxs77 (talk) 09:06, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Image tags
You who have used the tags several times, how do you make the tags that tells a user that his image has been nominated for deletion or has been deleted? Jacce | Talk 06:41, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
