Talk:Onimai/FAQ

Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the corresponding page Onimai. They address concerns, questions, and misconceptions which have repeatedly arisen on the talk page. Please feel free to change this material in light of new discussion.

Q1: Why is Anime News Network cited in the article?

A1: Multiple discussions have deemed the site to be generally reliable with some caveats regarding their encyclopedia and "interest" pieces, which do not meet the same editorial standards (see WP:ANIME discussions 1 2 3 4 and RS/N discussions 1 2). As such they are listed under reliable sources at WP:ANIME/RS#Situational and used in many relevant articles. If you have any concerns about their reliability, this judgment can be challenged at the appropriate venues (i.e. WT:ANIME or WP:RS/N).

Q2: All the reviews cited in the reception section are trashing the anime and that's clearly expressing a bias!

A2: While the reviews from English-language reliable sources have often leaned negative, the goal of NPOV on Wikipedia is to detail all notable opinions, regardless of their critical nature or lack thereof, without being unbalanced or inserting editorial bias. However, there may be perspectives from reliable sources in other languages missing from the article's coverage.
