Editing One Piece's reception

Replace "Praise" with "Critical Acclaim". One Piece deserves to be considered a heavily acclaimed title. Saying that it is only praised does not give the series any justice. Chocomilk9764 (talk) 09:58, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

I thought that was more a common term in gaming. Still, the article is kinda lacking critical response.Tintor2 (talk) 15:51, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

It is a term used pretty often in gaming, but I was going through the edit history and I think a bot had replaced the words. Praise just doesn't polite enough to a series that has been acclaimed for over 2 decades now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chocomilk9764 (talk • contribs) 23:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Name of the series in the lead

Per suggestion of Sjones23. The current lead mentions just "One Piece" as the title of the series, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to also mention "One Piece (Japanese: ワンピース, Hepburn: Wan Pīsu)" or "One Piece (Japanese: ONE PIECE（ワンピース）)", since on the cover of every volume the series the title is written in both latin characters and kanji? A similar case would be Naruto, and in this situation the leads states "Naruto (Japanese: NARUTO（ナルト）)". --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 17:15, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

If Japan has the same name in English but with katakana, then it's best to just put the Katakana instead of redundantly using the English name with the katakana. This is the same for all other anime and manga that use english alphabet.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 17:29, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I don't see the point in adding the series' title with Japanese characters if it is not officially written in that way in Japan. Even the original publisher, Shueisha, just uses its title written in Latin. News websites like Natalie also uses that title. Also, we're on the English Wikipedia. I think the Japanese title would be helpful for Japanese people to know how the title is spelled and in Japanese Wikipedia does make sense to list it, but here is needless. Regarding the Naruto case, Shueisha uses the title "NARUTO―ナルト― " and so does websites like Natalie, so I'd say that maybe for just that single reason it does make sense that its Japanese title is also listed in lead. - Xexerss (talk) 18:33, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

@Xexerss: In the official logo visible on the volume covers it's officially written "ONE PIECE" with a smaller "ワンピース" above it. --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 20:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

@Mazewaxie: Yes, it includes the Japanese spelling, same case as other series originally written in Latin like Bleach, D.Gray-man or Major, but unlike other series with English titles that in Japanese are officially (and usually) written with Japanese characters, like Black Clover (ブラッククローバー, Burakku Kurōbā) or Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン, Chensō Man), I personally don't see a reason to include them if they're not used by most media in Japan. Also, for example, with the case of Black Clover or Chainsaw Man, I think that to include the Japanese titles is helpful for research and to find sources from Japanese websites, but with series like One Piece, which you only need to search about it on Japanese websites, literally writing "One Piece", I don't really see something meaningful about the inclusion of its Japanese spelling, not in an English article at least. - Xexerss (talk) 00:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

@Xexerss: IMHO, the Japanese text is only to show how the Japanese spell it out or pronounce it using their alphabet. In Video games wikiproject the Japanese are moved as a footnote and still don't use the redundant English letters. Personally, I think WP:ANIME should do the same. In Japan, it's custom to put the katakana or Hiragana above kanji/roman letters depending on what it is for. But in English, we don't have that same system. So it makes sense to spell it "One Piece (ワンピース)" instead of ONE PIECE（ワンピース）, they're both expressing the same information just differently.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 19:32, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

References

There was some discussion on this matter a few months ago at project talk: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 74 § Lead sections for Latin titles. I agree with User:Opencooper's suggestion that the katakana for a Latin-script title exists only for Japanese readers (in the same way that romaji for Japanese-script titles exist only for English readers); I would write the lead here as One Piece (stylized in all caps) is a.... — Goszei (talk) 08:25, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Request

Hi there. I'm not here to request anything anymore. I just want if someone could please take the time to post below me all of the reasons as to why there won't be first volume cover as profile picture and an overall plot covering the entire story, so that the explanations are more in handy on the main talk page. Thanks.
