Thanks!
I just want to give my thanks for your edits through the Naruto episodes which have a very brief summary. Your edits are appreciated and sorely needed to clean up the Wikipedia tags on many pages. So, keep on doing those edits as they're benefiting the wiki as a whole. :) --Sajuuk 09:13, July 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * Seconded. Thanks a lot. :) • Seelentau 愛 議 11:23, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Edits
Please be a bit more consistent with your edits. In some of your edits to older episode summaries, you're using different terminologies. For example, in Showdown: Gaara vs. Kimimaro, in one sentence you'll use Kirigakure, which is how villages are described through the wiki, and the next sentence, you'll call it Hidden Mist Village, or just Mist. Please be mindful of how terms are translated through the wiki. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:18, July 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * I only did that on one page, not multiple. So it was on edit, not edit(s) plural. And I did call it Kirigakure, but I wasn't sure if they went by Kiri as a short form, so I referred to as "the Hidden Mist Village" (describing Kirigakure). Murali9395 (talk) 16:28, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Please avoid the use of time-dependant words. Words such as "currently" or "x years ago" should be avoided. Try favouring just the use of present tense and words things like "x years prior". Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:11, September 16, 2016 (UTC)

Episode articles
Hi. It's great that you're going and rewriting older episode articles, there's just one thing I'd like you to keep in mind. Please don't go overboard with details and descriptions. Articles like episode and chapters are supposed to be summaries, not play-by-plays. I haven't watched these older episodes in ages, so it's totally possible the articles were simply too trimmed down already, making this a redundant request, but the large change in content size caught my eye.

 * I've been watching the edits and they're fine. A heck of a lot of the episode articles being edited contained just a few lines and were way too brief, skipping over far too many details, or even being outright wrong (given they were just copied from Wikipedia). Sure some of them may be too long, but I'd rather prefer lengthier sections if it helps to get rid of the wikipedia tag on the wiki. --Sajuuk 18:53, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * Getting rid of Wikipedia tags is a good thing. Now if only Wikipedia would actually source the episode summaries they straight up copy from this wiki, that would be great. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:56, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Clarification
I don't watch the dub, so I can't say anything for any translation done there, the most I know about Viz's translations is from crunchyroll subtitles. About FTG/BFT confusion, there have been instances even in the manga where Flying Thunder God was called Body Flicker Technique, both by characters who are unaware they're two different jutsu that work in different ways (for example, Rin in Kakashi Gaiden) and by characters who are very much aware how the jutsu works (like Tobirama during the Fourth Shinobi World War). Teleportation Jutsu is the translation Viz uses for the Body Flicker Technique. The series has made a point that BFT is just high speed movement, whereas FTG is actual space-time ninjutsu, so Viz's use of teleportation is a bit counter intuitive when paired with in-series explanation of the difference. So, whenever the term "Teleportation Jutsu" is used for FTG, it's actually a consistent use of a translation for another jutsu, that other jutsu being one that is an incorrect description of what FTG actually is. Hope this made sense. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:25, September 16, 2016 (UTC)
