Hey, I really appreciate the work you're doing filling in the infoboxes, especially the part name translations since I was stumped on a lot of them. ^^ For the romanization though, I'd appreciate if you could write out the long vowels instead of using -'s so it matches the romanization style for the rest of the site. (There's a note about it on the [[Help:Style guide|style guide]] page.) ~ [[User:Kimbles|Kimbles]] 14:26, 3 February 2016 (MST) | Hey, I really appreciate the work you're doing filling in the infoboxes, especially the part name translations since I was stumped on a lot of them. ^^ For the romanization though, I'd appreciate if you could write out the long vowels instead of using -'s so it matches the romanization style for the rest of the site.

I'll keep that in mind, and thank you very much for the warm welcome. I'll do that from now on, but it does pose a problem. Using that method, how would you differentiate between something like クウ and クー, which would both be written "kuu"? 00:54, 4 February 2016 (MST) | |||
:It doesn't differentiate them, but the way I see it, we're only including the romaji on the page to show how the word is read/pronounced, so it's better to simplify it than to try to make it 1-to-1 (we're already including the Japanese text after all)... Personally, I always read da-shes as pa-uses rather than longer vowels, so it's clearer just to write it out IMO. ~ [[User:Kimbles|Kimbles]] 11:49, 6 February 2016 (MST) | |||
