I believe that it would be wise to establish a standard layout for all character pages, pertaining primarily to images.

I volunteer this:

Main Profile Image - In-Game image from most recent game (In many cases, this would be TH09).
Official Profiles - Include an image of the character from every game that she appears in, including PC-98 incarnations, in order from least to most recent:
* Game Manual Image - Image of character from digital Manual, if available.
* キャラ設定.txt Image (where applicable) - Image of character from in-game.

This is similar to the layout already used on many pages, though not uniformly.

Image dimensions ought also to be uniform, and in many cases, are.

Comments?

If there are no arguments, I will begin applying this to the profiles. It could always be modified later, anyway.

Additionally, would there be interest in adding sprite sheets (and related graphics) to Character pages? I would be more than happy to do all the work involving these (very little, truly, with the tools provided by S"), if there were interest.

Hey, thanks for the images. They're great. But we should come up with a proper naming scheme. I have to go through and delete all the old versions now. Ugh. Ideally, the secondary "profile" image should be using a different expression than the first one. I think that would look nice. - J5983 15:25, 17 October 2005 (PDT)

I had the same thought. I would assist in the deletion of unused images, but I am not sure that I can, or at least I do not know how. --White Knell 17:54, 17 October 2005 (PDT)

Yeah, don't worry about it. It's restricted to admins to prevent abuse. As for the sprites, how about adding them to the character pages for the games? Like Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Characters. Stick it in there somewhere. - J5983 18:37, 17 October 2005 (PDT)

- Kainti (2007-01-13) Is it OK to add to appearances characters from Touhou Rekkaden? Or is it limited only to official games?

- Kaorin (2007-01-13) 13:11 Official games only.


- Might be nice to have a pronunciation on some of the character names. I've never known if Cirno is "Sir-No" or "Ker-No," or if Keine is "Kee-N" or "Kai-N" or "Key-Nay." Could be useful to English doujinshi trying to make a pun, or just so I know what to mentally call them. It's unclear to me whether a strictly Japanese pronunciation of the names should be used or if it's sometimes suppose to be an English pronunciation, like with Alice. -Redpanda

Well, Cirno is easy enough: Ci-Ru-No to follow the Hiragana and this. Keine I'm not too sure on (personally I lean towards Ke-ee-ne), but I'll have it found out before long if somebody hasn't already answered it by then. Still, you have a point on whether ZUN meant some names to be English-style or Japanese-style pronunciation.

Well, it's Chi-ru-no, really. Chirno. Like Chernobog, but with more nines inside of circles. Moogy (talk) 06:52, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
{looks more closely at the Katakana} Ah, so it is. Blazes, I need to work off the rust off my Kanna sometime. --Psieye
My comments appear to have been accidentally deleted, so I'll post this again. Djinova actually started a thread about this on the old boards, and indeed those two were the most frequently mispronounced. Keine's name is pronounced something like Kay-Né, with a short "eh" sound at the end. Cirno is pronounced like Chill-No, because it was a pun by ZUN; the English spelling is rather misleading. -Pilpsie
Personally, I dislike pronounciation instrucions in English - after all, this is what IPA is for. However, I don't see how there could be any problems when deciding the correct pronounciation for Keine, as it is a perfectly good Japanese name with a kanzi writing and all... So, it's [ke:ne] (or [keene], as some seem to insist), although some speakers seem to go for [keine], which sounds a tad odd to me, although I'm not a native speaker either. In English terms... I dunno, it goes wrong anyway. --130.232.131.47 14:36, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
