List of Soul Eater chapters

[edit]

My entry for the FLC contest. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 07:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose—Cr. 6. While Japanese script has its own beauty, here, it's denigrated by being turned into an agent of extreme clutter. Instead, it's ugly. Please remove it all—this is for English speakers; there's a Japanese WP too. Tony (talk) 11:30, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I absolutely disagree. The original media was in Japanese, and we should display it. Take the issue up with WP:ANIME, and I'll remove it only with consensus from there (and this would entail removing the kanji from all other episode and chapter lists). — sephiroth bcr (converse) 19:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also disagree with this oppose. We do not ignore the original language just because this is the English Wikipedia. All anime and manga articles include the original Japanese for titles, episodes, characters, and chapters. As Sephiroth noted, if feel this should be removed from every last, it should be taken up with both the anime and manga project and the Japanese project. As it is, this is in keeping with all relevant guidelines. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Not that I did not evaluate the non-English sources. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:29, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the deadlink. Thanks for checking. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 19:24, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good to know. :) Minor note, but that section uses the term tankōbon, but the lead pipes it with "bound volumes" which isn't consistent. Otherwise, all looks good. Sources are fine, prose reads well, don't see any unsourced stuff. So Support. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:33, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "The series follows the adventures of three meisters, students at a school called Shibusen who utilize demon weapon companions with human and weapon forms." Unclear, are meisters "students at a school called Shibusen" or "students who utilize demon weapon companions with human and weapon forms"?
  • "Maka Albarn and her weapon partner Soul Eater manage to gather the souls of ninety-nine evil humans, and only need the soul of a witch to turn Soul Eater into a death scythe. They manage to find a witch and defeat her; however, she is a magical cat, and Shinigami confiscates all of Maka's souls." Repetition of "manage to".
  • "a swordsman so powerful his soul is the equivalent of ninety-nine souls"-->a swordsman whose soul is the equivalent of ninety-nine souls. Additionally, I think you might enclose this info in em dashes rather than commas as this interruption in flow is rather sharp.
  • "Shibusen has a major examination" Isn't Shibusen the school? How can a school take a test?
  • "Soul, Kid, and Black Star all fail the test, Maka scores the highest in the class" Why is it surprising that Maka scores well on the test even though the aforementioned three fail?
  • "Shibusen holds a celebration to mark the anniversary of its creation." Again, if Shibusen is a school, then founding would be a better word than "creation".
  • "Medusa stages an attack on Shibusen with Eruka, five members of the Mizune family, Crona, and Free in order to awaken the original kishin, Asura, who is imprisoned underneath Shibusen."
  • "Maka detects a presence inside one of Giriko's golems, and it is revealed to be a witch, Arachne, who Shinigami defeated in the past."-->Maka detects a presence inside one of Giriko's golems. The presence is revealed to be a witch, Arachne, whom Shinigami defeated in the past.
  • "Medusa's remains enter a small girl, who Medusa uses as her host." "who"-->whom.
  • "in order to increase Stein's insanity."
  • "Death Scythe tells Stein that he believes that he is not the killer"—Ambiguous, too many "he"'s.
  • "he is able to fully utilize Tsubaki's demon"—"utilize"-->use.

Think that's it. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 22:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support, I have never heard of Soul Eater, but it was easy to understand. Sources are okay.Tintor2 (talk) 00:30, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support, Having been working with this article for a while now, I'm pleased to see it reach such high quality, especially with the chapter summaries.--十八 00:45, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support, Seems like a solid piece of work. Doceirias (talk) 03:15, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
