Great work

Hey, I've been noticing the work you've been doing around WP:A&M, especially engaging in discussions, and they've all been good edits. It's belated, but welcome to the project!

About macrons and romanization, you might find MOS:JA helpful regarding common usage and dictionary terms (though so many of our own articles are inconsistent in this regard). Please let me know if you have any questions. :) Opencooper (talk) 22:20, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

@Opencooper: Thanks, that's kind of you to say! I've been having fun editing, learning the ropes, combing my way through the Manual of Style, etc. There's a lot to take in. :P I can't think of any questions at the moment, but I'll definitely take you up on that offer in the future. Thanks again. KuroMina (talk) 13:06, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Kaze to Ki no Uta

Thanks for your updates to Kaze to Ki no Uta. Do you happen to be aware of any sources that could confirm publication dates for Petit Flower, so a more precise start and end date for its serialization could be listed over just the month and year? Thanks! Morgan695 (talk) 16:56, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

@Morgan695: Hi there, sorry for the late reply! I own two books about Takemiya's career: her 2016 autobiography and her 50th-anniversary Kaleidoscope book. I skimmed through both looking for dates, but they just list the magazine cover dates (Petit Flower Winter 1981 issue – June 1984 issue). The same goes for the Media Arts Database (Winter/February 1981 issue – June 1984 issue). Unfortunately, I think the only way to find an issue's precise release date is to check the preview for it in the previous month's issue. That's how Kanzenshuu documented Dragon Ball's serialization in Weekly Shōnen Jump ("Issue Date vs. Sales Date" and "The Tale of Publication Dates"). They were lucky they had a friend in Japan who was willing to comb through hundreds of old magazines in the library. :P Anyway, thank you for your hard work on Kaze to Ki no Uta! I'm a fan of the series, so I enjoyed reading the detailed examination of its themes and how it handles gender/sexuality/etc. from academic sources. You put a lot of effort into the article, and it shows. :) I actually have some more info for the production/reception/adaptations sections that I'll either add myself or post to the talk page in the next few days. You can see if you want to use any of it. KuroMina (talk) 21:55, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Sanrūmu Nite

On 18 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sanrūmu Nite, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that manga artist Keiko Takemiya intentionally submitted her manga Sanrūmu Nite immediately before its publication deadline to avoid it being edited? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sanrūmu Nite. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sanrūmu Nite), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you

		The Anime and Manga BarnSakura
		For your assistance in getting Kaze to Ki no Uta to featured article status. Morgan695 (talk) 00:53, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

I also have a somewhat selfish (but totally non-urgent) request for you: I have aspirations of getting Revolutionary Girl Utena to at least GA status some day, but English-language sources on its production seem to be few and far between. That Chiho Saito essay you found for Kaze had some interesting factoids in it, so if at any point in your travels you come across further sources about Utena's production, I'd appreciate it greatly if you could give me a heads up. Thanks! Morgan695 (talk) 00:53, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
