-;Format
+{{GuidoWishlist|right}}
-:By now I think I've found the lightest possible format :
-:*plain-faced, indented text (leading ":" tag) for speech
-:**custom indents possible with multiple ":"s
-:**emphasis (intonation etc) with italics
-:**inline directions in bold (see below)
-:*directions in bold
-:**Small headers (leading ";" tag) for voice tags, capitalized.
-;**inline comments in brackets '''(like this)'''
-;**paragraphs typeset in bold, either with triple ' or ";"
-;**custom indentation for directions with leading ":;", "::;" etc
-;**custom emphasis through capitalization, italics etc as needed

-;Names
-:Make up your mind with capitalization and such (is it "Smallgirl", "SmallGirl", "smallgirl"?).
-:Until then, I'll write "small girl" and "old man", just if they were common noun groups.
-:And I won't systematically capitalize the names in the directions : "Konoko" etc are fine.

-;Edits
-:I took a few liberties when reformulating the directions.
-:I don't have the heart to do the same for the actual prose.
-:(even if it's not exactly correct English for the most)
-:Most of the time the problem is that I have to thoroughly understand what a sentence means.
-:And I just don't. Actually, grammar/vocabulary/syntax are only one half of the problem.
-:The risk of a mistranslation is doubled by the underlying abstract thought.
-:So I'd suggest to systematically develop on possibly ambiguous tirades out here.
-:(I know that's not what you'd normally do, but there's no other way to fix up the translation)
-:Alternatively, you can just put the Italian sentences up as well, and I'll take it from there ^^

 :May be worth a reference to the episode of Jamie [[Hasegawa]]'s death as well.

+:Good imagery, but push the fungus too far and people will accuse you of stealing from miyazaki.
+:I understand he's a major influence and the comparison will be made nonetheless, but trying to minimize direct parallels will help.

 :I think I'll be putting my thoughts on the image page for now, and then move them around.

+;"Through the small openings it casts white stripes onto the snakes of mist swarming amidst the ruins."
+:How on earth do you expect to render this? Just curious.
+::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 23:04, 2 October 2006 (CEST)
+:more or less this way...

+:Hm, that's reasonably messy for a 15-minute thing
+::(not like I ''really'' care how fast you work... ^^ )
+:::(and the composition was thought through earlier...)
+:Not 100% convincing as for what's represented
+::(too much diagonal "rain or something" : misleading)
+:::(without the verbal directions, it's really puzzling)
+::(in case it ''is'' rain : is rain compatible with mist? ^^)
+:If the striped mist is in the lower center of the picture,
+::then I think I get it (not sure I like it, but I get it).
+:Since it's a tricky scene, I sorta expected more detail...
+:Keep up the feedback. I may get back to you "in time"...

+;"'''KONOKO''' notices '''SMALLGIRL''' on the shore, drawing water with an old tank"
+:Picture, please. For the life of me, I don't get what's happening.
+:How can you ''draw water'' (e.g. from the river?) "with" a tank?
+::What, like with a cup? Dump it in, wait until it fills up, pull it out?
+:::Might be a bit heavy for a little girl (starving/dying/whatever)?
+:The first version had "Smallgirl in the shoreline drawing dirt water on an old oil tank".
+:"ON"??? Do you mean she was drinking rainwater off the top of a barrel?

+:I just hope this will ease your pain, Geyser ... : )
+::[[User:Guido|Guido]] 16:42, 25 November 2006 (CEST)
+:That's better (vocabulary choices may have been better).
+:As for the picture names,
+::since they're attached to a single "node" (talk page),
+:::you can set the name accordingly.
+:("whitestripes" and especially "character_deployment"
+::may well become ambiguous in a foreseeable future)
+:Re:Keep it up, there are still a few items for you to sort out ^^
