List of Naruto characters

The result of months of merging and whatnot. Here is WP:ANIME's first prospective FL character list. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 18:20, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• "who can utilize" → "who can use"
• logical quotation issues such as ""cool genius,"" → ""cool genius"," and ""the archetypal rival character."" → ""the archetypal rival character"." per WP:PUNC, where the punctuations only belong in the quotes if it should logically belong there, such as if it's a full sentence and could use a period

• Comments
  • "This is a list of characters ..." start with something more interesting like "The Naruto anime and manga series feature a number of ..." perhaps?
  • "two and a half" I fancy this should be hyphenated?
  • "progress as ninja in skill and character." reads awkwardly to me.
  • "ninja of Konohagakure " not really necessary to repeat where he's from since that point was made in the previous paragraph. Especially as you have Konohagakure again at the end of this sentence.
  • as a base for " as a basis?
  • the actual manga " is actual required here?
  • "he utilizes occasionally changes.[10] For instance, he utilized " can we change one of the utilized to, say, used, for some variety?
  • "After an encounter with his brother in Part I, Sasuke is beaten physically and mentally" wasn't he beaten in the encounter? Or perhaps you could say Sasuke is left beaten...
  • "After an incident " - probably needs a little expanding.
  • "double team opponents " double-team?
  • "traveling with his arms and legs " I know what you mean but this reads oddly - we all travel with our arms and legs!
  • "things actual dogs " never sure of the need for actual here.
  • "twenty-three and twenty-four" 23 and 24.
  • Just be careful about overlinking. Naruto Uzumaki, for instance, is linked in four consecutive sections...
  • Shame that Ikuko Tani doesn't have an article - the only red link!
  • Page ranges in the references should use the en-dash, not the hyphen to separate them.
• Otherwise, a really really good piece of work. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Think I got everything. sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 22:04, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

This looks good. I think Gary and TRM have found everything, so I have nothing to do but support. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 17:16, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
