Talk:Sasuke Uchiha

Relationship to Obito Uchiha
Shouldn't Sasuke be listed as related to Obito? Obito has the Sharingan, which is the Uchiha clan's kekkei genkai. --Dubtiger 00:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The reason why its not listed as we can't certain to their relationship. He could be a cousin, he could be a uncle, he could be anything. Thats why the other Uchiha aren't listed under family.--TheUltimate3 00:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * But, all Uchiha are related...you should probably add them. Because they do all share the same lineage from Uchiha Mandara...

Uchiha Sasuke
But the main reason for my discussion is, why isn't the article entitled according to the original Japanese, which is clan name, first name? In the manga, his name is always listed as "Uchiha Sasuke". Shouldn't we try to stick closest to that, rather than Americanize it? And, even though it may seem like it could be ambiguous, those who will be reading the article will know the difference. After all, I doubt many new people to Naruto will be reading this page...


 * Our goal (I guess) would be too get new people to use it. People heading to Wikipedia will no doubt go "Dang. THis place sucks for info. I'm going for the Naruto Wikia." and thus here they come. And as I said, as an English speaking website it would be easier to simply go by Americanization. Another reason for it as it keeps some things in order. If we change it to last name, then first name then why should Guy be Guy and not Gai? Why should the jutsus be in English (which they are because those are their direct translation from Japanese.) and so on and so forth. Its all about order.--TheUltimate3 21:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Ironicly, thats EXACTALLY the reason why I go here..wikipedia sucked it all up with ther merg orgies..lol I agree that it should be mostly americanized..altho I still think Gai should be spelled correctly..Guy just looks odd..its bad enough that Fuuma and Juugo have to be romanized.. Chipmonk3288


 * We already had a long name discussion at Forum:Names, the final decision was to use the English character names. For a few primary reasons:


 * We're an English wiki and should be using English in articles, not Japanese.
 * Most people casually coming here to learn about Naruto are likely the ones who are familiar with the English dub of the series.
 * Western order is used instead of Eastern order because North American English speakers are familiar with Western order, and using Eastern order could confuse casual readers on what the character's first name is.
 * In simple terms:


 * The people editing the articles are those who are familiar with the Japanese version
 * Bt it's likely that those watching the English version will be the ones reading the articles.
 * While those who watch the Japanese versions should easily be able to find pages which use the English naming.
 * It's highly unlikely that those who watch the English version will be able to find pages which use the Japanese naming.
 * As for the Gai vs, Guy. Wikipedia has some information on that Wikipedia:Portal:Naruto/FAQ. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 13, 2007 @ 08:36 (UTC)

Akatsuki
Where does all this rubbish about Akatsuki comes from? It is fairly obvious that Sasuke is not a Akatuki member. Jacce 21:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
