Stylisations and spacing
Regarding your edits to the Simple English Wikipedia: I don't know how the Manual of Style works there, but stylizing titles is something you were asked not to do before you were blocked in 2022, so if you are intending to edit in that area here, please follow MOS:JA, MOS:CT and MOS:CAPS. Japanese titles are frequently written in all caps or lowercase, and we should not mimic them. Type them normally. Daoko's song "HYPER GIRL -mukōgawa no onnanoko-" should be written as "Hyper Girl (Mukōgawa no Onnanoko)" here, as we typically render subtitles (the "Mukōgawa no Onnanoko" part of the title) that are put between hyphens or wave dashes in Japanese titles between parentheses or after a colon per MOS:JA. TOY'S FACTORY and KADOKAWA should be Toy's Factory and Kadokawa, respectively. Names of songs are put between quotation marks not italics here.
Another fiddly thing you were asked not to do is adding spaces around the words in headings. If the page has unspaced headings, e.g. ==Daoko==, don't add spaces to them, e.g. == Daoko == as this is usually a deliberate choice on the part of the creating editor to not space headings. I'd strongly suggest staying away from adjusting spacing at all. This is about the only "advice" I'm going to give you. Please do not resume posting to my talk page asking for advice. Ask another editor or post on the article's talk page. Ss112 08:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @User:Ss112 thank you for your message. yes, i am very aware of the manual of styles of en.wiki now, but those categorized manuals you linked above do not exist on simple.wiki, i tried looking on the normal page of manual of style there but it did not mention any of those, so, i edited on simple.wiki thinking that if there were any guidelines someone would link me to it, or revert it. my main motive was to create the article and add the information, i left the thing i was unsure about for the next editor, you can see that i even left a message at article "Hotarubi no Mori e" talk page on simple.wiki as i was unsure of whether to capitalize the romanized titles.
- i did not know names of songs are put in quotes rather than italics, i added italics in simple.wiki, again, i did not know, i thought what to use but then added italics thinking it should not matter. but today earlier i was editing the article Yorushika and noticed this same thing, i saw the users before me used quotes, so, i used quotes too.
- about the == == headline spacing you mentioned, i won't repeat it now that you have mentioned that to me. i did that thinking that it made it easier to read the heading in source editing mode, then i tried to look at templates on en.wiki / simple.wiki and wherever the heading was mentioned they used the spacing as == heading == instead of ==heading==, and it did not affect the way it was displayed, hence, i edited them. i won't do that again. i believe i have only done that at the article Yorushika here, should i revert it back to the way it was? i already followed the second thing you mentioned the moment i noticed, but worry not i will make sure to follow the other 2 as well.

- No, it's fine. I'm talking about going forward it would probably be best to steer away from "adjusting" spacing if you didn't create the article or you're not clearly making it consistent. If one heading on the article isn't spaced but the rest are and you happen to notice it, by all means make it consistent and space it too. But I wouldn't edit articles solely to make heading spacing consistent (based on what most of the headings use), only as part of a more significant edit. Ss112 11:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I'll keep that in mind. About the stylisations, I was browsing your talk page, and saw one of the editors reported removing the notes for stylisations from articles. Up until now, I thought it was appropriate to at least list the stylisation in notes, or is that wrong to do so? From that, there's also all caps in the Daoko article I created on simple.wiki. I tried to reduce them from everywhere but the thing is the artist used 3 different aliases to publish her music, each varying in all small, all caps. I have only used it in the discography tables. should I mention it on the talk page? it is not something major but again I tried to reduce it wherever possible.

- I think most parenthetical notes for stylisations are trivial. You'll find editors disagree on this—no MOS page explicitly encourages nor disallows stylisation notes. But I would advise against adding trivial stylisations that are only a different case of letter. As for the Simple English Wikipedia, I don't really care what happens there as I don't edit it. If you're unsure, post on a related talk page or ask at a WikiProject talk page there. Personally I don't think it's significant that she changed her name from "daoko" to "DAOKO" or the like as it's still the same word. If the change in case marked a change in her style and this was noted in sources, by all means it could be mentioned in prose. I don't know about the artist specifically; all that I've said about her thus far has been as an example, so I'm not the person to ask. Ss112 12:02, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Understood. HimuTheEditor (talk) 12:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
