Hello!
I'm new to Wikipedia and wanted to add a translation for the already existing Japanese Wikipedia page of the voice actress Yuko Iida (飯田友子) but since I couldn't directly submit a translation, I made a new page which is currently pending review. I used the same template and content structure as other Wikipedia pages for Japanese voice actresses, as well as many of the resources listed by the corresponding Japanese Wikipedia page, but I wanted to let you guys know in case someone wants to take a look.
@MoonsideYasu: This isn't necessary, but I like to have a Japanese title and a translated title for such cases. So, if you use text editing, instead of using "title=", you'd use "script-title=ja:" for the original Japanese article names, and then add "trans-title=" for a translation of the title. Especially when it comes to articles like these where a majority (if not all) of the citations are in a separate language or you're transferring it over from a different WikiProject that only has non-English citations. It can be more of a pain to deal with, though, so again it's not a huge deal, but I would personally recommend it. Sarcataclysmal (talk) 09:25, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much for your reply @Sarcataclysmal! I really appreciate it
I see how it could be useful as well, I will definitely try to add it to the citations!
Sorry it took longer than expected since I have been very busy working on a draft for Comiket, among other things.. I added the translation for the citation titles as kindly suggested by @Sarcataclysmal. I think it was a great idea and definitely helps someone not familiar with the original language of the source to have a more efficient understanding of it.
Since it has been a while, and I am afraid the number of submitted drafts within Wikipedia keep piling up, I was wondering if someone from the WikiProject could promptly review it and accept the submission if everything is alright. I would definitely be immensely grateful. The draft for the Wikipedia page is right here Draft:Yuko Iida.
Briefly after I submitted the draft for review, @Miraclepine contacted me about the draft but I am unsure if they ended up taking a look or not.
Sorry for the bother and thank you all so much beforehand. If there is anything I could change or improve please let me know as well!
@MoonsideYasu: I haven't had a chance to look at the draft, but since I was pinged, I would like to note that I didn't contact you about the draft; that was just a welcome message that happened to cite the draft as my reason for said message.
Also, speaking of waiting, Wikipedia is an all-volunteer project, so all editing here is dependent on both volition and free time, AFC decisions included. Since the backlog is at most three months (two times I wanted almost two months for a draft I submitted to be accepted), it would be best to be patient and wait for an AFC reviewer to decide. ミラP@Miraclepine19:53, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Miraclepine Hello! Thanks for the quick reply.
I see, since I wasn't sure I thought it would be a nice idea to ping you but I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you so much for letting me know, since there is an already existing Japanese Wikipedia page for the voice actress but I couldn't submit a translation, I thought it wouldn't have to go through the process of determining if it's worth an article space. Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

It seems some people want to change it from "Pretty Cure" to "PreCure", as shown by recent page name changes of Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure to "Soaring Sky! PreCure" and "Pretty Cure All Stars F to "PreCure All Stars F", with claims it is "misspelled". I have since moved the page names back. Should I start discussions on the talk pages of the affected articles (Talk:Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure and Talk:Pretty Cure All Stars F OR should I start a thread on Talk:Pretty Cure about this? It seems that TWO users are trying to determine the page name changes across ALL Pretty Cure pages on their own, as shown at Talk:Wonderful Pretty Cure!#Requested move 21 May 2024 (there is now a page-name request there). In my opinion, there should be more eyes on this before it gets out of hand. Suggestions on how I should proceed would be appreciated.--Historyday01 (talk) 17:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Don't have advice, but there's probably a decent argument to be made that Precure is the common name for the franchise/series. Though, that's not what's being argued at that RM (it's hard to follow). Precure appears more in advertising, used more in the fandom, arguably used more in sources. Of course, I haven't done the legwork to actually verify whether that's true; this is just what I know about being around the anime fandom. Personally, I think it's fine to leave the pages at Pretty Cure until someone makes an argument that touches on some of those points. ― Synpath22:53, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
For what it's worth, the source we have for the name (the Toei Animation website) says the name is PreCure. But it's a little inconsistent: most but not all of the text says the name of both the overall franchise and the individual series is PreCure, but most of the graphics and a few of the text titles use Pretty Cure. Oh, and the URL. (I note that the exceptions where the graphics and the text both agree a series is named PreCure are all very recent series, so this was likely a recent change.)

Could someone from this WikiProject take a look at Kasane Teto? I don't know how the notability of fictional characters are assessed or whether this is related to anime/manga (it looks like it might be), but I'm not seeing how this meets (at least at the moment) WP:GNG or even WP:NFICTION. Perhaps there something there worth WP:DRAFTIFYing per WP:NEXIST which is why it's probably better for someone who might be more familiar with this type of article to take a look at it. There is a Japanese Wikipedia article about the subject at ja:重音テト which seems much more developed and which might be helpful for additonal sourcing and expansion. FWIW, I came across the article via a recent Wikipedia Teahouse question WP:THQ#Wikipedia:Piccadilly. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is a stub on ja.wiki as well. But yes, definitely much better than the one present here. I'll try to expand it soon. Lunar-akaunto/talk14:39, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Bonus points for the Hello Kitty movie they've been developing with New Line since early 2019. (As well as the long-out-of-print/out-of-syndication Don't Cry, It's Only Thunder, the first movie from that label I ever saw back in my youth [during its 1994-95 airings on the original Encore through my island's Marpin cable service].)
Sounds like a good idea to me. I've been thinking the Filmography section in the Sanrio article could be improved, and doing a separate list type article where things could be expanded on would be even better. Also seems like it would work well as a parallel to List of Sanrio characters. There is a lot of sprawling Sanrio related information that doesn't always warrant their own articles, and this seems a good way to include it on Wikipedia.

Evaluating Reliability of Sources for "Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle"
The Fandom Post is founded by Chris Beveridge who also founded and wrote for AnimeOnDVD.com (now Mania.com) (see: [1]), another writer for them Darius Washington has wrote for Otaku USA: [2]. At least, anything written by Beveridge or Washington is reliable. --Mika1h (talk) 21:00, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
fandompost.com is indeed included at WP:A&M/ORS. There is listed as 'The Fandom Post'. Anime UK News has been discussed a couple of times before. From what I've seen (and in my opinion too) comments often consider it a reliable source, but no one has taken the time to add it to the list. I'm not very familiar with AIPT, so I wouldn't know what to say. I don't even know if they have an editorial team, although I tried searching through the site.

Thank you for the clarification regarding FandomPost.com and Anime UK News. It's helpful to know that FandomPost.com is already included in WP:A&M/ORS under 'The Fandom Post'. As for Anime UK News, while it's been discussed and generally considered reliable in comments, it hasn't been formally added to the list. I understand your concern about AIPT's editorial team and policies. I've searched the site as well and found it challenging to locate detailed information on their editorial practices and team structure. Sunrise In Brooklyn✉04:13, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
