All the text here has been copied and pasted to Manga/About this Article. Timothy Perper 07:19, 10 October 2008 (CDT)
Sandbox for Final Revisions of Manga article
Please do not make changes directly on the draft text. It causes chaos -- and I speak from experience. Instead, put comments, criticisms, and suggestions below the text under a separate heading. Thanks Timothy Perper 10:18, 27 September 2008 (CDT)
The material below is for a new page, to be called "Manga/About this Article." It will be put into the new manga article as an explanation of the mechanics of the article. Timothy Perper 12:44, 9 October 2008 (CDT)
For Manga/About this Article
(1) This essay contains some extensively modified, rewritten, and rereferenced material from the "Manga," "History of Manga," and "YAOI" articles on Wikipedia. The primary author of this article wrote or contributed to those articles on Wikipedia and has made a serious effort to revise them for use here.
(2) The text is organized thematically and historically and is comprehensively referenced. There are two kinds of reference. For reasons explained below, please do not reformat them.
- (A) Scholarly references to the literature and to reliable sources on the web. All web sources include a URL visibly displayed as part of the reference.
- (B) References to manga, cited in a different format, and linked to websites with visible URLs that provide additional information, typically Anime News Network. ANN gives links, estimates of popularity, publishing history, and other material.
- (C) The wiki-derived software used for creating this article includes some templates that were not and should not be used for formatting purposes. The primary reason is that they make the URL invisible, hiding it as a hyperlink under other parts of the reference. That means that a reader cannot copy or download a printable version of the complete bibliography. And that is useless. A secondary reason is that the templates waste a great deal of space. Therefore please do not reformat the references.
(3) Articles of this kind are often valuable mainly for their bibliographies. Accordingly, the bibliography is quite long. It does not cover everything -- it could not -- but it covers a lot.
Willy-nilly, Citizendium is an Anglophone encyclopedia, and therefore most of the references are to English-language, not Japanese-language sources. Individuals able to read Japanese well enough to read Japanese-language sources will have no problem locating them using the Japanese-language Google.
(4) Please put all comments and changes on the Manga discussion page and do not insert them directly into the article. That way, everyone can discuss the proposed changes.
Growth of YAOI
Judging from its internet presence, YAOI has grown considerably in popularity over the past several years (see Figure).[1] In January/February 2002, 60,000-90,000 webpages were returned by web searches for YAOI, not a negligible number, and YAOI had attracted attention in the mainstream press[2] as well as from the fan and gay literature.[3] Moreover, YAOI also had (and still has) its own conventions and fan gatherings (see the coffee mug from the 2001 YAOI Con in the main article).
However, after 2004-2005, YAOI’s internet presence grew about 200-fold to 14.7 millon hits by 2008 (see Figure). For the United States, this growth partly represents the English translation of two YAOI classics, Sanami Matoh’s Fake (translated starting in 2004 by Tokyopop), and Maki Murakami’s Gravitation (translated starting in 2003 by Tokyopop). Both brought YAOI to the attention of new readers, thereby creating markets for new YAOI stories from other artists and publishers. The growth also partly represents the large influx of women readers, artists, and fans[4] and the emergence of new publishers of translated, commercial YAOI manga, like Digital Manga Publishing, among others.[5]
