Importing manga now
Trying to import the manga articles in batches, but large files aren't allowed, so going to have to do just a dozen or so at a time I suppose. Got to go to my niece's birthday party now. Will work on this when I get back. I hope to have a complete listing.  D r e a m Focus  18:38, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Been doing it bit by bit. If anyone knows a way to grab all the histories, and the images in the articles, automatically, and import them here, let me know.  I grab large number of articles at a time, but sometimes it just stops before they are uploaded.  Also if the file size is 10mb or above, it says its too large, and won't bother trying.  Not a week goes without several manga article being deleted from Wikipedia, even those that have been around for years, or in popular manga magazines, or with millions of copies sold.  If the manga don't get reviewed in any third party newspapers or magazines considered as reliable sources by those over there, then they delete it.  Hundreds of articles have been lost so far, since the only places that talk about manga are the magazines that publish them within them, and that doesn't count as a third person review.  They don't review what their competition is publishing, obviously.  Thus almost all manga articles are surely doomed, all attempts at reasoning with people over there has failed.

Importing done I hope
There are 2437 items that category manga shows on the Wikipedia. I tried to import all of them, along with the templates. It says I have 2,474 contributions so far, so hopefully I got them all. After Google has time to cache everything, I'll search for all those articles with the manga series category link in them, and see how many it is. That'll be easier than clicking on the category listing, and clicking "Next 200" 12 times, to get to the ending, and then counting to see if there are 37 things there or not.
