Links[edit]

Hello, I'm the admin in the Tsubasa Wiki, Caridee

I was wondering if there was some way you could leave a link back to the wiki, if possible? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.154.240.81 (talk) 00:47, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we're not suppose to leave links to wikia unless they having a incredibly large amount of information we are lacking, especially since there's a large number of external links already, but then again it's over a year since I last edited, so my memory is rusting at its edges. You'll have to wait until someone else replies. AngelFire3423 (talk) 12:55, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some questions about the plot[edit]

Just wanted to verify/suggest a few things because I don't have the books in front of me at the moment, and it's a series that I read a second time, at least the last few volumes.

  • Is Yūko's name in the English adaptation Yūko, Yuko, or Yuuko? I somehow can't image them using Yūko, but maybe I'm wrong.
Del Rey Manga uses macrons such as Yūko or Seishirō.Tintor2 (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does Yukito specifically notice that the feathers are as a whole the manifestation of her soul? (Yeah you might want to change the wording to the wings are a manifestation of her soul.) He might have said it later, but I think, in the very beginning he only says that the feathers represent her memories. Though if he does mention it later, then that would count as him noticing it.
  • We might want to cite Fai joking about them relatives, an quote it at the end of paragraph 2.
But what was the exact quote for what he said, do you know? AngelFire3423 (talk) 04:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does Sakura receives the seal of death at the very end of the week or actually during it?
  • Is Watanuki's purpose to fill Syaoran's absence or just as a necessary effect of Syaoran's wish to reverse time?
The former as told by Fei-Wang.Tintor2 (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wasn't Yūko granting the clones wish to make up for Fei-Wong's manipulations?
  • The wording of the last paragraph seems to be implying that Yūko was kept alive because of time loop. Didn't it just have something to do with Fei-Wong being alive?
What do you mean? She was kept alive all this time due to the time paradox Fei-Wang created by creating the clones? Or was it just because of the spell that Clow Read cast? Or a combination of both? AngelFire3423 (talk) 04:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The former as I recall. In October I tried expanding the plot section, but another user also made some changes, and I wasn't very sure.Tintor2 (talk) 13:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't remember it mentioning something about the clones doing anything to reverse the damaging effects of Fei-Wong's manipulations or is that just me?
    • As they appeared, they used Clow's magic to do that as stated by Fai and Fei-Wang.Tintor2 (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Didn't the clone Syaoran also do something to help Syaoran get out of Fei-Wong's trap?
    • Yep, but that would mean expanding more the section.Tintor2 (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see what I can do... though I can't promise anything. AngelFire3423 (talk) 04:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No it's a better idea to leave it to the character article, since it's not really a focus of the main plot. AngelFire3423 (talk) 06:38, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The very last statement, "...Syaoran's journey will always lead him back to Sakura's side", should we really be making such a subjective statement or does it say something like this at the end?
I made a bit of changes to the last sentence, do you like them? AngelFire3423 (talk) 06:38, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work in the article.Tintor2 (talk) 13:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it's a bit long, the plot section, but by necessity... In which case we might also want to consider adding more about the Celes arc, which was forgotten before I went through it. But props to User:Tintor2 and the other editors for getting this to Good Article status ^^. AngelFire3423 (talk) 12:42, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Review[edit]

Here are some reviews if anyone feels like making a reception section. They are all from ANN.

Thanks to archiving bot this was buried:

Manga
Anime

Oh here is an article I just found though I'm not sure how reliable it is. AngelFire3423 (talk) 20:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More reviews for the anime:

AngelFire3423 (talk) 17:45, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Striking out three that are clearly not reliable (ie. user submitted reviews). —Farix (t | c) 14:34, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

--KrebMarkt (talk) 16:05, 9 January 2020 (UTC) (yeah 2020 so this won't be archived for long long while)[reply]

Nice, but wasn't this added in April 2009? How it was not archived? By the way, I think AngelFire3423 had added a lot of reception last year, so I don't think more critical reception will be needed (at least for the manga, considering it has two long paragraphs of reviews).Tintor2 (talk) 23:40, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prose issues
  • "Plot" section: As they travel, they learn that the feathers have special powers and can bestow often supernatural abilities to those who possess them. → Are the abilities often supernatural, or are they often bestowed while being supernatural?
    • Fixed. Every feather I've seen has magical traits.Tintor2 (talk) 01:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The group departs to rescue the two Sakuras learning from Yūko that Fei-Wang is in a Kingdom of Clow whose time has been halted. → Could that be explained a bit more of what exactly the underlined portion means, because it wasn't absolutely clear to me when I first read that part.
  • I would remove the mentioning of the ISBN numbers in the "Art and fanbooks" subsection, or at least move them into a "Further reading" section (see WP:LAYOUT for details on how and where to set one up) if need be. I just think it's not that relevant and may be distracting to readers to see all those ISBN numbers there in the open.
  • Your expression of the rankings of the manga, anime, etc. are inconsistent. Sometimes you have number 3, and other times you have 29th. Stick to one type of expression for that.
  • "Anime reception" subsection: Active Anime's Christopher Seaman had mixed feelings, finding the romantic themes mature, while some of the magical themes would appeal to younger audiences; → The second part of that sentence doesn't fit well structurally with the first part, and I think it's just the wording. Try something like finding the romantic themes mature and the magical themes appealing to younger audiences or similar.
Conclusions

In progress – I still need to over the sources and make sure everything I can verify is verified in the article. Otherwise, so far, the prose and structure are decent, and everything seems well-sourced from what I can see. More will come, if anything else, within the next couple of days, as I am a bit busy the beginning of this week IRL. –MuZemike 01:38, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I'll try an eye on any issue and I think I will not be very busy.Tintor2 (talk) 01:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Passed. Looking at the referencing last night, it looks good, and I couldn't find any major problems as far as any significant gaps in verifiability is concerned. Good work. –MuZemike 15:56, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
