The people section of the Encyclopedia is for those who had worked on anime/manga titles, not for people who had worked for this website; cataloging the latter would be an editorial decision.
Again, this can be done with a sub-page of that Review page, or they can be linked through the Staff List page; either way has nothing to do with the Encyclopedia. In the mean time, use the method DerekTheRed suggested. |

When editing Wikipedia there is a useful toolbar for entering special characters which is a godsend for entering ō and ū. Would it be possible to have something similar here, or at least include those two characters in the page text somewhere so I can copy and paste them without having to open character map all the time?

Has any thought been given to linking to interviews with personalities on their encyclopedia page? By that I mean link to this on this page. Maybe even put Carl Macek's ANNCast segment on his page, or the Geneon one on the Geneon company page along with Chad Kime's page? It would probably be harder to automate the linking, like is currently done with news, but I think that interviews and ANNCasts are few enough for an admin to be able to put up links manually. Maybe.

I would be very happy with a button in the "my anime" section that easily prints the lists people can make and/or export it to word or text or something.
copy pasting is fairly annoying as it is. |

I have a suggestion for the encyclopedia. Is there any way to pick any number of shows in the encyclopedia, and then after picking them, hit a button to list the rankings of the shows on the user made list from High to Low.
The reason I ask for a list like this is because I am short on cash and NIS said they were going to relase 4 shows, including Toradora. Well, I would like to be able to select the 4 shows from a list and see how they rank, listing from "Masterpiece" to "Poor". You know, the same rankings they have on the encyclopedia entry. This "variable list rank" function could be used on other things listed like manga. Does this sound doable and worthwhile to do? |

I think an ordinal should be required when entering theme songs. Currently the instructions state
Also, the instructions state

This suggestion concerns the ratings system. So I don't know if it belongs in the Encyclopedia sub-forum, so by all means move it if it doesn't belong here.
Basically, I am fed up with trolls who deliberately rate titles down (usually as "Worst Ever") just because they feel like it. Now, there isn't much I can do about them, and there probably isn't even very much that Dan42 can do about them either, beyond tweaking some things. But what about if we just concentrated on the most obvious trolls? I'm talking about the ones that are without a doubt trying to influence the ratings of a show, and therefore undermining the accuracy of the ratings system. Take a look at Bakemonogatari's page. Specifically, as of this post there are ten votes for Worst Ever for the dub version of the show. (Also, there are five votes for Masterpiece in the dub, and one Masterpiece vote for the Russian dub. Crikey.) Only, as is quite clear, there is no dub version of the show, meaning that in all probability all those votes were made by trolls. Or the careless, with whom I don't have much sympathy for. So I suggest that users be able to report such glaring instances of trolling just as they can report a wrong name or whatever. And since ninety-nine times out of a hundred it will be a troll instead of the careless, the Encyclopedia Editor who responds to the report needn't spend much time on it. Bam, and the trolls are gone. However, I do concede that the above suggestion has little chance of being implemented, mostly because there are so many error reports to go through that adding to the workload will be distasteful. So I suggest a plan B. Namely, that when people come to rate an Anime they will not be able to choose any other option other than raw or sub until a dub is actually out. This would mean that all Anime would have to have the option activated, which will be a pain. However, considering that the dub information (cast list, companies involved, et cetera) have to be added in anyway, then why not just activate the dub option for that Anime at the time the dub information is added. Oh sure, trolls are still going to be rating titles as Worst Ever anyway, and as soon as each language's dub is out they'll probably rate using them too. But . . . it's the principle of the thing, I guess. Don't give them an inch, and don't let them think it is okay to screw with the ratings. At least not so brazenly. Thanks for hearing me out. |

Something I've been meaning to bring up for ages:
I would love for the combined name in kanji to be presented somewhere, either by changing the way it is presented or showing the combined name somewhere also, maybe as a profile option. It is a small thing, but every time I want to copy a name from ANN I either have to perform two separate copy and past operations or copy it as-is (e.g. "宮崎 Given name (in kanji): 駿") and delete the extra text. |

I just recently noticed that kanji now appears together under the person's name, so it seems like this has been implemented. Very nice - I find this VERY helpful. The only (minor, since it's rare) problem is that it can be inaccurate on names where the order is different from usual, for instance non-Japanese names or pseudonyms that are written in given-family name order. |

Whatever happened to the "convention appearances" category, anyway?

I'd love to:
1). Be able to find those errant data that I submitted in the "Other" category (I made some mistakes in my "youth" that I'd to acknowledge—and fix). 2). Be able to see the information that I submitted which is "out". |

Not so much of an encyclopedia suggestion as an encyclopedia forum suggestion, but...
I've noticed Shiroi Hane and devil doll posting a lot of "these people need to be split" threads lately. Maybe we could have a stickied post of "split required" like the "duplicate people/etc" threads? |

Creating new threads was Dan's recommendation here.

ANN recently allowed to override existing credits when you can provide additional resp. better precision.
Along this line of thought, what about allowing to override existing credits without given source by identical credits with a source? (To fill gaps that were created back when contributing without a source as allowed.) |
