Talk:Henohenomoheji

[Hi]

The Japanese people I know usually surround the face with a "hi"Mwv2 (talk) 04:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hikaru no Go's artist uses this face when she draws herself in the manga volumes.

Henohenomoheno

When I learned Japanese from a native speaker in college, he taught my class that the character was called HenohenomoheNO, not HenohenomoheJI. He drew the face as normal, but surrounded the entire thing with the hiragana "no", so it had a round head. --Akajezebel (talk) 10:02, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Parodius screenshot 4.png

Image:Parodius screenshot 4.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Trivia?

• This is only the opinion of *some* editors. I disagree. If properly edited, these lists are one of the features that make Wikipedia better than a classical encyclopedia. Obviously all the editors who added those trivia in the first place also disagree with the tag.
  In any case, editorial comments about an article should be in the talk page, never on the article itself (and *this* is a fundamental WP rule.) All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Interesting comment about 'what makes wikipedia better than a classical encyclopedia'. I think maybe the 'Usage Examples' is useful, but perhaps too long. How about changing the title to 'Usage Popular culture' and changing the format so that it is less like a list. So maybe removing some of the entries and using a structured approach (so it feels less miscellaneous). For example, it is used in blagh blagh blagh like this blah blah blah... cheers, --Boy.pockets (talk) 04:35, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced?

• Most if not all entries have one implicit reference, namely the cited work itself. This is a case where primary sources are entirely appropriate. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Teru teru bozu

There was a reference in the Anime section under Popular culture to Toradora and "making a henohenomoheji out of cloth," but what he actually makes a teru teru bozu, which has a henohenohemoji face on it. I removed the line about Toradora and added references to teru teru bozu in the first paragraph and the See Also section. --99.153.141.18 (talk) 21:18, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

popculture/trivia section

I am sad that the article contains a list of a dozen anime where a henohenomoheji was at some point drawn. The list is awfully incomplete. There is no point in making that list, because a popular childlike drawing of a face is an extremely obvious thing to find in drawn media. I wish anime enthoushiasts would stop trying to list every detail about their passion on public encyclopediae in "in popular culture" sections. In my opinion, the list should be replaced by a line explaining how common and recognizable this drawing is in japanese culture, and that it is often used in manga and anime as a placeholder for the drawing of a real face.

According to WP:TRIVIA we add popculture items when the article subject plays an important role in the plot of the cultural item (or has independent importance) according to critical sources. Simply mentioning must be deleted from the list. -No.Altenmann >t 04:56, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
