ALT3 is the most interesting. ALT1 isn’t as unusual as it seems. But where are the sources for the hooks here? The article itself does not appear to have sourcing issues and obviously surpasses the character count requirement. Nothing looks to be a copyright violation or out of neutrality.

As this is your third DYK nomination, you don’t need to do quid pro quo. Trillfendi (talk) 20:35, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Trillfendi: Added sources. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 02:23, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A new reviewer is needed because the original one appears to have abandoned the review. SL93 (talk) 04:24, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've left them a talk page message as they still appear to be editing. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:47, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I already responded to this several days ago but I guess it got lost in session data limbo. The

is ready as far as I’m concerned. Trillfendi (talk) 14:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote ALT3, but the article is not calling the studio a green screen set—it is a studio in which they used green-screen sets. Also, the Premise section is lifted entirely from the Netflix website and needs to be rewritten in your own words. Yoninah (talk) 12:56, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I think I fixed the issue by mentioning it was a replica of a popular crossing. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 15:23, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring thread. Please do not write over hooks as it makes it impossible to follow the conversation. Yoninah (talk) 18:17, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what to do now. the reviewer said he preferred ALT3, but the nominator has changed it to something else. Trillfendi, are any of these hooks interesting/verified, or should we ask for something else? Yoninah (talk) 18:19, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The premise section is still a copyright violation as well. SL93 (talk) 01:24, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the blatant copyright violation. I'm not sure why it was still there. SL93 (talk) 02:54, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since it was changed, ALT1 would be suitable as the source is sufficient and it is similar to what ALT3 was anyway. Good? Trillfendi (talk) 06:05, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Approving ALT1. SL93 (talk) 03:56, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Error

Please correct the following error:

"Aso announced that the eighth issue of the second volume": Issue refers to the issues of Weekly Shōnen Sunday while volume refers to tankobon. The phrase "eighth issue of the second volume" simply does not make sense.

-Hijk910 (talk) 09:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned in the news, the thing that was released on 18 Feb was the 2nd volume of tankobon. The eighth issue of the magazine (the final issue of the manga series) was released on 20 Jan. -Hijk910 (talk) 12:29, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kuina's Transgenderness

The article says "Kuina is revealed to be transgender in a flashback in episode 7". However, that does not clearly transpire from the series (at least with the English dubbing). What we see is that Kuina is dressed in a boy-ish or maybe gender-agnostic way. Kuina is then shown trying on some lipstick/makeup, which enrages Kuina's father who insists that "[Kuina is] a boy!" This can mean a number of things, maybe that Kuina is transgender, but maybe also that Kuina is female, but is forced by her father to maintain the illusion of being male. 2001:16B8:2C17:6C00:E95D:3C5D:D78F:72E4 (talk) 00:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

wikipedia's spoiler policy?

not so familiar with wikipedia's spoiler policy but i came here just to see what Riisa Naka plays in alice in borderland after i recently edited the girl who leapt through time 2006 and 2010 pages and then i got spoiled. is there a non-spoiler way to describe Riisa Naka's character?

End date

Stop this edit war! TV series "end date" has to be a "present" until clear indication of it's cancellation! As last season have an open ending, You have to wait until announcement from Netflix or other reliable source! – Vilnisr ^{T | C} 09:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@T you don't have to shout at people to make your point. A civilized comment does the trick just as well, if not better. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:36, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see shouting there, don't be so sensitive! As for end date, if you are sure that show is concluded or canceled then I'll step back, if no, don't add misleading information. Other shows (Star Trek franchise, NCIS franchise and others, I wont count them all) never have end date between seasons.– Vilnisr ^{T | C} 19:08, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know what an exclamation mark signifies? It signifies an exclamation=shouting. Don't call me names, instead, please familiarize yourself with punctuation and its uses. As for your second point—did you not notice that I reverted my edit in the article right after I left you the first comment? It seems to me you could be a little more thoughtful in your actions. Cheers. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 23:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Probably best to not argue about it. {{Infobox television series}} suggests that we shouldn't put anything other than present until after a year since the last episode and even then only if no further series have been announced. I can't say I agree with it (realistically, we shouldn't be presuming anything to be present unless we have concrete dates), but that's what we should follow.
