Talk:Shibi Aburame

Image
Not to be a bother. But, perhaps my image could be used instead of the current one. It's a full head shot that goes down a little past the shoulders. So, it's a lot better than an up close head shot. Other than the image being named oddly. Nightrose (talk) 14:24, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Your image has no fair use or licensing and it's also of lower quality to the one that's there now. Also, I don't like how his hair looks in it. --Cerez (talk) 14:30, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Gen?
Is there some reason why he is called Gen in chapter 534?--Deva 27 19:57, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * This has been up in the article for a while: Shibi Aburame (油女シビ, Aburame Shibi; "Gen" in some pieces of English Naruto media) is the father of Shino Aburame.Ryne 91 (talk) 20:00, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * But should we change it? Kishimoto-sensei wrote the manga, so shouldn't we rename the article according to the recent manga?-- Ninja Sheik  20:39, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * It might just be a nickname. Regardless, he was named Shibi in the past, so it's not like changing it is even an option.Ryne 91 (talk) 20:45, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Where was his name "Shibi" ever mentioned in the manga? I think by using the name "Gen", Kishimoto-sensei chose the main name for Shino's father.-- Ninja Sheik  20:48, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * His name was Shibi in the Second Databook on page 21.Ryne 91 (talk) 20:52, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I still think we should change it from "Shibi" to "Gen". Personally, I like the name Shibi, but if Kishimoto-sensei used it, well...wouldn't that overrule from what the second databook says? How many months has it been, even years, since the databook have been released?
 * The only other thing we can assume it could be a nickname, or even a error.-- Ninja Sheik  20:56, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is my personal belief that we should wait until we receive new information on the matter. If we change it, then we are speculating. Iruka calling him "Gen" doesn't exactly overrule the "word of god" that was delivered in a databook. Let's just hold off until we receive clarification on everything. It wouldn't do for us to make such a big assumption and edit our articles to match it, after all.Ryne 91 (talk) 21:01, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's fine.-- Ninja Sheik  21:10, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Assuming it isn't a translation error, it should at least go in the trivia section. ~SnapperTo 21:28, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I can tell you it's not a translation error, but I wouldn't be so quick to 'fix' it. Manga are rushed and typesetting is an error-prone job not usually done by the author himself. Databooks get far more attention, at least when it comes to text, and names in particular. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:24, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
