Orphaned references in Lavi (D.Gray-man)

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lavi (D.Gray-man)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "charagray":

  • From Lenalee Lee: Hoshino, Katsura (July 4, 2011). CharaGray! (in Japanese). Shueisha. p. 76. ISBN 978-4-08-870268-1.
  • From List of D.Gray-man characters: Hoshino, Katsura (July 4, 2011). CharaGray! (in Japanese). Shueisha. pp. 176–183. ISBN 978-4-08-870268-1.
  • From D.Gray-man: Hoshino, Katsura (2011). CharaGray! (in Japanese). Shueisha. pp. 176–183. ISBN 978-4-08-870268-1.
  • From Yu Kanda: Hoshino, Katsura (July 4, 2011). CharaGray! (in Japanese). Shueisha. pp. 176–183. ISBN 978-4-08-870268-1.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 18:53, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018 copy edit

[edit]

@Tintor2: here are some notes on my copy edit:

  • Capitals: Exorcist is not a proper noun so I got rid of the initial capital (see MOS:JOBTITLE). As for Akuma, it doesn't seem to be a proper noun (nor to fit the capitalization rules for scientific/taxonomic names). However, if reliable secondary sources treat it as a proper noun, then we should as well. (Primary sources, unfortunately, aren't as good because English manga translations may not follow the same capitalization conventions you'd see in standard prose.) The character Bookman gets a capital but I'm not so sure about when it's used as a title, e.g.: He aims to become a Bookman himself. When you apply the indefinite article, a, it suggests the term is generic and not a proper noun. Using the lower-case bookman for the job title could also help avoid ambiguity with the character of the same name or the one-shot Bookman. It would make more sense as a proper noun if only one person ever holds the title bookman at the same time, though I'm not sure if this is the case, and even then MOS:JOBTITLE recommends lower case when not attached to a name.
  • a person who records events from history. Does this mean that Lavi is writing about events that happened some time in the past or that Lavi is writing about prominent current or recent events which will become historical? If he's writing about current/recent events, strike "from history".
  • he made it to the top ten from the latest character poll The source is dated July 2011 and the series is ongoing. Is this really the most-recent character poll? Either way, "latest", "recent" and "currently" are not great to use in articles. Perhaps this could be "from the 2011 character poll" or "from the character poll following that arc" to tie-in with the previous sentence? Similarly, in all D.Gray-man character popularity polls might benefit from having an "as of" to qualify when the statement was cited. Then it would still be accurate even if a recent popularity poll doesn't have the same result.
  • I went ahead and created redirects for Bookman Jr., Bookman Jr, Bookman jr, Bookman junior, Bookman Junior.

Hope this is of some help. Thanks! – Reidgreg (talk) 16:26, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Reidgreg: Thanks for the copyedit. I'll see if it can become a GA.Tintor2 (talk) 17:01, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Doing... Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:28, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Is there a source that discussed why Suzumura was replaced by Hanae as the voice actor? Given that this is a significant change, this needs to be mentioned in the article if there are sources that discuss the reasons. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:43, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: Every single Japanese actor was replaced for Hallow. TMS and Hoshino haven't explained it why. I would say somethings but it would be just theories which are not acceptable for the article.Tintor2 (talk) 16:22, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Noted. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:24, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    Reviewer comments appear to be mostly from English sources, but as Japanese reviews appear to be non-existent, this is acceptable. Balanced with Japanese merchandise and popularity poll information so this is not much of a problem. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:43, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  3. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  4. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    One 3a is resolved this will pass. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:43, 11 May 2018 (UTC) No more outstanding issues so this is now a pass. As always Tintor2, I suggest you nominate this for DYK. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:24, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
