Re: Asking ShonenSuki something that has nothing to do with this wiki
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)

Re: 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)

Re: 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: I entrust
I'm on it. And yes, my Talk Page could use a archive. I'm just lazy and still have no idea how to work the archive tool.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 17:54, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Spoilerblocks
I am well aware of the chapter's releases on various websites. Part of the way to keep this Wiki running at tip top efficiency is to know what is going to happen before the masses. And to make sure it runs efficiently, you need to have a system. Having spoilers thrown into the Wiki a week before the chapter is "released" to the masses can cause problems, more problems than I would like to deal with. Therefore we've adopted the "Friday release" policy. There is a similar policy (albeit better) at the Bleach Wiki. This "Friday Release Policy" however is more or less an unwritten rule that has been worked without problems for years.

Yes this was alot longer than I expected it to be.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 00:46, October 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, because I typically don't bother coming here constantly on Thursday, spoilers put up get past my watchful eye. The Friday thing still stands even if the chapters are released on Thursday, it's just when I log on and see like 10 edits across the site I just tell myself to let it go.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:22, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
