[edit] How to order names?

Should we order this and if so how, by Japanese letter order or English? -- EmperorBMA / ブリイアン 05:04, 17 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Japanese letter order is only suitable for Japanese reading people, which are not the only ones to read Manga.

Besides, the Japanese name is not always available when the first lines of a stub are written.

[edit] Request for Japanese

Could someone who speaks Japanese please add Japanese names to the (still very stubby) new articles Keiji Nakazawa and Barefoot Gen? (Done, by User:Sh) Thank you. —Hob←Talk 04:08, 2004 Aug 24 (UTC)

[edit] Alphabetize names?

Should the surnames be alphabetized, in the Latin order? --KJ 10:28, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, and they already are. --nihon 01:32, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] division

in any other language wikipedia,mangaka and list of mangaka are divided.I would divide.--Forestfarmer 19:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page needs serious help

This page really needs to be redone... This is kind of sad. I wish there was a Mangaka project. --Hitsuji Kinno 04:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mangaka as the manga itself.

Sometimes in manga, usually in the foreword section, the artist will refer to his artwork as his "Mangaka". I think we should make the following edition:

"Mangaka is sometimes (not usually) used to refer to the authors work, when the author is speaking about his/her manga."

Or something of that sort. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.86.84.250 (talk) 16:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

Can you come up with a citation? If not don't add it until you can. And a reliable source, like a magazine, etc.--Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 21:19, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] English anyone?

Is mangaka in any English dictionaries? What's up with most of the Japan related articles here using a foreign word when referring to someone who draws comics? Most normal people have no idea what it means, and having to click on it just to read the definition is a major inconvenience.
