From Talk:Dragon Boy

The information I present in this article come from two sources: Toriyama's World website and an interview with Akira Toriyama about Dragon Ball where he mentions Dragon Boy as a "trial run" manga for the later series. Toriyama's World lists only two chapters completed, but the manga does not "end" and there may have been more chapters-- but I don't think so as it would have been at least listed in his one-shot compilation. So, I present that this information is close to correct but may have gaps and that if anyone knows better to please update it accordingly. JRP 16:43, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

For all intents and purposes Dragon Boy was finished. Most of the manga published in Fresh Jump are often yomikiri or one-shot mangas that serve to test the idea for a possible serialization. If a pilot is successful, it may be picked up for serialization in the Weekly Shonen Jump. If not, the author can simply end the story with another one-shot or two. Sometimes, the serialized version are drastically different from the pilots and don't follow the same continuity. Jonny2x4 03:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Dragonball (2009) film

I really don't think adding a link to the Dragonball (film) article, when the Dragonball article redirects to the disambiguation page, should be considered controversial in the least. The movie is named "Dragonball". I'd understand if it had some sort of subtitle, like the other films, but the simple fact is that typing the name of the movie takes you to a disambiguation page that doesn't include the movie directly, and requires a minimum of three more clicks to reach.

I also highly object to arbitrarily issuing any sort of vandalism warnings simply for editing the page without first discussing it on the talk page. I have a registered account, and I meet the requirements to edit the page as outlined in the semi-protected template on the page.WtW-Suzaku (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Please calm down. That warning was to let you know that discussion is preferred over any instance. Now regarding the film, why only Dragonball (film) and not the others? Just because of a redirect? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Dragonball is the name of the film. The others have subtitles, for example, Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!. If one wants to view the Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! article, they will be taken directly to it, with no redirects or disambiguations involved. However, if someone wishes to go to the article for the film called Dragonball, they have to navigate additional links to get to the film, which is exceptionally ironic, as none of the other official Dragon Ball media is even actually spelled that way.
In fact, considering that, it might be better to move Dragonball (film) to Dragonball and include a "Dragon Ball" redirects here. For other uses, see Dragon Ball (disambiguation). in the article.
Also, I'm perfectly calm, and I'd like to (politely and calmly) let you know that you should exercise more caution before telling someone to "calm down", as it can actually upset or provoke someone who isn't upset, despite perceptions (which can easily be mistaken when interpreting only text).

That hatlink is inappropriate, as this page is titled "Dragon Ball". You have good reasons for Dragonball (film) to be listed on the dab. Guess it can be re-added. I'll undo myself. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
