I don't know how to mass-change something like that and doing it manually would mean going through a total of 1259 profiles. Is it really that important? It's what we've always done and I don't think it's caused confusion for anyone so far. akb48.fandom.com and mydramalist also refer to former members in the past tense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Hathaway Third sentence. What you're referring to is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biography#Tense That's a bit more specific than replacing every "was a" with "is a former". This is a particular choice of Wikipedia, it does not represent broader English usage. There's nothing inaccurate about saying Minegishi "was a member". Given Wiki48's narrower focus (on the 48 and 46-groups) I don't think it is misleading, either.
The current Wikipedia article reads and our Wiki reads (fun fact: the Wikipedia article is slightly wrong about no3b) I'm guessing the majority of the former members follow the same format xxx was a member of ABK ..... she is now affiliated with xxxx e.g. Akimoto Sayaka was a member of AKB48's Team K. She is now affiliated with Flave Entertainment. Luckily we have no members of which we should speak in the past tense (as in deceased), but for sure in that case the reason for it would be explained in the intro. For sure 99% of the readers will assume we are talking about living people when talking about AKB members.
Imaizumi Yui left Avex on June 30 and is now independent Okada Nana has joined Avex Asunaro There’s a misspelling of Asunaro on the top of Kodama Haruka’s page. I also think her agency should be changed to Avex Asunaro (currently it’s Avex management) since Avex Asunaro is a subsidiary and a company on its own. Same with how we use Seed&Flower/Nogi LLC rather than Sony management for Sakamichi members Yabuki Nako and Miyawaki Sakura are under Vernalossom Yahagi Moeka is under Avex (she didn’t say what subsidiary so I think we can put it as Avex Management for now) Ishimori Nijika is under A-Light
Do you have any source for Nako being part of Vernalossom? Also, I've added Verna to Sakura's page for now but I'm pretty sure she said they're only responsible for her Youtube channel... I've done all the rest
This photo was showed when all three of them joined a recent radio together. We can see the Vernalossom credit. Capable Tokyo signed a contract with both Sakura and Verna to manage her YT channel so that’s another indicator. The whole IZONE was under Verna for Japanese promotion so I think they either just don’t bother to change agency or Verna is trying to grow on its own
I created a FAQ page, based on 48pedia. Please help me with the correct translation and addiing more questions. Admin, u can add this page to the sidebar? could be in all48 section
SakuNakoHii are now all featured on Vernalossom's front page: http://vernalossom.jp/ (which has just crashed but hopefully will be restored shortly)
From @Aka in the stage feedback thread (he forgot about you): http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/kamachi-yukina-yukkiina.23089 I moved the thread, but can't edit the wiki.
Souda Sarina has been graduated from SKE since 30th June, please edit her page: http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Soda_Sarina Please edit the SKE page to move her to graduates and remove her from the chart: http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/SKE48_Members#1st_Generation_2 http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/SKE48_Members#Team_KII_Members About her wiki48 page, some things need to be changed for her "social networks": - Her Showroom page is now deleted, so it can be removed from the list. - Her Twitter account's name changed, it's now: https://twitter.com/sarina_souda
Everything is correct except that her photo is still in the members list ^^ http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/SKE48_Members#1st_Generation_2 Some other little changes that need to be made for other members: http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Kojima_Haruna - Her official site is not working, it's a dead link, it can be removed. - Her Weibo page can be added: https://weibo.com/akb48harunakojima http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Minegishi_Minami - Her Showroom page was deleted, it can be removed. - There is a typo for Instagram on her page, it's written as "Instgaram" http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Akimoto_Sayaka - Her Facebook link is not working, probably deleted & can be removed. I'll probably send for other members too, going through some pages. ^^
http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Minegishi_Minami - The Ameblo is no3b's Ameblo so it shouldn't be listed as her individual social network. http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Imai_Yu - Her Showroom page is deleted, the link can be removed. http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Uemura_Ayako - Her social networks says "{{{Blog}}}" without any links, it should be replaced by **. http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Umeda_Ayaka - Her IG's username changed, it's now: https://www.instagram.com/ayaka_umeda_official/ http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Kasai_Tomomi - Please add her Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8wk-j-cinTZZ-dX16UaX0g/ http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Matsubara_Natsumi - It says "Staff Twitter" but she is the one who's using it, it should just be written "Twitter". http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Kashiwagi_Yuki - Just a detail, a space is missing before the 3rd Youtube channel link ^^; http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Nakaya_Sayaka - Please add her Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfj4erdJrk1sOA5z4pFivag/ http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Uriya_Akane - Her Showroom page is deleted, the link can be removed. Thank you in advance for making all the changes!
Hello! I think I found a couple of possible edits? I'll be copying Mana-san's format. I hope it's okay http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Arai_Yuki - "Senbatsu" is mispelled to "Senabtsu" in the section title "AKB48 Senbatsu Elections" - She and Aoki Shiori (http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Aoki_Shiori) have a shared TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tuliptacosposter/. I'm assuming it counts as a social network? - They also have a shared YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE7GKfixTkgSNHbMV11OilQ/), though it's in danger of dying because they need 15k subscribers by August 6 and their stats indicate that they're not gonna meet that. So I'm not sure if this should be added to the SNS links. http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Takahata_Yuki - Her name's kana is ゆうき (in contrast to ゆき) References: https://www.instagram.com/yuhki_takahata/ https://www.ske48.co.jp/news/?id=1426421186&select=audition http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Matsui_Rena - Her ameblo closed in 2019, the link can be removed - Please add her YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQoWfwbu1dDf0XujaNQ-9A/ http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Ishikawa_Kanon - Her old Twitter that she used as an SKE member, https://twitter.com/kyanonty1219 is still alive, probably for posterity, but she now uses https://twitter.com/kyanonty. - Same for her old (http://instagram.com/kyanonty1219) and new (https://www.instagram.com/kyanonty/) IG. - She has a TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kyanonty - And a YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTgxIuPtdUnI9-qGnCoy5IA - Showroom and Blog are gone. The links can be deleted now. I'm not sure if accounts that were active when they were idols (and didn't get deleted when they graduate) get included in their Stage48 pages so I just included them for completeness. I leave it to the editors to decide. *bow* I tend to read SKE members' pages often so I might add some more next time. Thank you!
I haven't been active as a wiki48 editor in a while but I thought I'd pick it up again now that I have time! I'm experiencing some issues however, I can't seem to upload any photos, is this some wiki-wide issue or just me? Asking because member profiles and single artwork seems to not have been added in a while. If anyone knows I'd appreciate an answer!
From reading previous mentions of the image problem (e.g. on pages 180, 181, and 185), from what I understand, the editors don't have the right permissions and are dependent on the owner (who has been unresponsive for quite a while).
Hopefully there can be a solution for the photos someday, for now it's still "ok", but in a few years with every member getting older, it might be weird to see their old photos on the page. Anyway, this is random to say, but recently I thought about this, and I think wiki48 is such a great site! I'm glad that 48 groups have a place like this with all the informations! I love that everything is organized, so I want to say good job to the international fandom of 48G, and to everyone who edit and provide informations for the pages! More pages that need to be edited! http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Kaneko_Satomi - Her Twitter has been suspended, the link can be removed. http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Nakanishi_Yuka - The Twitter is not hers, she probably deleted hers and someone took the username, the page was created February 2021, it has 0 followings, only 4 followers, and 20 tweets of spam. I tried to find if she created another Twitter page but I couldn't find any... so I guess right now she doesn't have social networks. Please edit to remove the link! http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Kitahara_Rie - The Weibo page is not hers, she joined Weibo a few days ago and this is her page: https://weibo.com/u/7629132292?is_all=1 http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Kohara_Haruka - Please add her Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD9u4KzUP1Hk7ebaPYeBS7A/ http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Nito_Moeno - Her Ameblo has been deleted, the link can be removed. http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Yamada_Mizuki - Her Showroom page is deleted, the link can be removed. http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Iwasa_Misaki - Her Google+ page is deleted, the link can be removed. - This is a detail but, there are 2 '/' before her second Twitter link, there should be just one ^^; http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Sakamoto_Rio - I'm pretty sure the Twitter is not hers, it has 0 tweets and 9 followers. I tried to find if she made another Twitter but I couldn't find any. Please edit to remove the link! Thank you in advance for making all the changes!
