Definition of writer

edit

Hi NawfalCherrad, thanks for creating this article. To provide context I removed a "writer" module from the infobox on the basis that "he's not a writer so I don't know why that module is necessary, especially when the regular infobox can handle it". You reverted with the message "Mr Opencooper you have to review your definition of a Writer (Mangaka is Manga artist how may write and illustrate a manga in the some time) and make sure next time before editing an article." While you're correct that manga artists do usually both illustrate and write their manga, their primary occupation is that of a "manga artist", not "writer" (unless they only wrote) and it doesn't make sense for his infobox to have a section called "writing career" because he's never published any novels. (Wikipedia's mangaka article even notes "The Japanese term for such a writer of comics is gensakusha (原作者).") You might say he's a writer, but note that you didn't mention that anywhere in the article nor is it any of the categories, and the template is called "Infobox writer". The subject is a manga artist first and foremost.

By the way I don't understand why you removed an interview link I added as "Advertising link". I have no affiliation with the subject and as far as I know this was a translated interview that was originally published in a Japanese gaming magazine. Anyway thanks for creating an account and joining us at Wikipedia. You might wish to check out WP:WikiProject Anime and manga. Happy editing. Opencooper (talk) 01:20, 18 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
