Is there a way to fix "In The News" errors or do they need to be reported here as and when they're spotted?

The reason I ask is that I just noticed that of the 74 news articles listed on the Blue page, only one (2006-01-19) actually mentions the manga in question. All the others are articles that just happen to feature the word "blue".

We'll just have to see what dormcat and/or Dan has to say about it. To my knowledge the news system for Encyclopedia isn't working correctly as I brought up the issue of news not being updated for each series entry. Someone said the system was screwy.

You've done your part in reporting it through this thread. Smile

It looks like there were several unrelated issues I had to fix, but the news links should now properly reflect the greenlinks present in articles. I've also made a little interface improvement: automatically linked news are shown with the date in gray so that they can be distinguished from confirmed links. e.g. animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=161&page=-5

But beyond this, there is no way to fix "In The News" except posting about it in the forum.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification and the fix.

Yay! Beyond that, is there a way to connect the "Buried Treasure"/"Buried Garbage" to the related entries, e.g., Angel Cop (Buried Garbage review)?

On Kira Vincent-Davis' page there are still unrelated news articles. "Steel Angel Kurumi Release Details" and "Excel Saga Cast" are the only ones that mention her as Kira Vincent Davis, "ADV announces convention plans" and "ADV VA and Directors Convention Plans..." mention Kira Solar, which is apparently an alias according to wikipedia, and the other two mention a character named Kira.
