Is there (should there be) a convention for naming pools? Some are named as "artist - title", others as "title - artist", and others as "title (artist)". Maybe too much trouble to make them uniform?

While we are on the subject, may I throw a little request to change the title of Oyari Ashito's "Title World" to the correct "Little World"? It's been bugging me forever.

Personally I think it makes more sense to have everything with the "title (artist)" format. After all in most cases, the very reason for the pool would be to keep pages of an item together. The artist should already be tagged in the images, so it's only worth mentioning him/her to better identify the item. Honestly I've always viewed the Pool section as rather sloppy, but as long as everything is correctly identified I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Pages in an item are grouped regardless of the naming. Artist - Title makes more sense because it groups pools by the same artist together (or they would, if I'd get around to improving the pool index). Indexing by title doesn't seem to offer much value, except for magazines (where there's no artist listed anyway so it becomes a title index).

What about compilation artbooks? If you choose to always list the artist first, there are guaranteed exceptions for cases such as this (or magazines, etc.) which brings us back to square one of unorganized mess. Everything has a "title" (or at least a pseudo-title), so that should be the primary, while the artist listing would be the secondary interest.

There's no mess; it groups books by artist and groups magazines together. (Again, once I get around to implementing proper sorting for pools--until then, none of this matters, since it's currently sorting by last update...)

I'll probably standardize on #issue yyyy-dd for serial stuff. Having the date in there is nice, but having the issue number in there too makes gaps obvious. (I think I just don't know the issue numbers for Hime.)

Now... if it were possible to identify where the image came from those more unique images, I would be so happy ^^

No, i meant that as a suggestion. Not that I have any.

But... on that topic, I do want to know where this image came from. And I mean this as the paper copy or the digital copy of where it came from, not the game or anime.

I was hoping to find a poster of this image ^^

Using it I find a hit on both Danbooru and Moe. Danbooru says it's from Comic Party, and that it's Hasebe Aya.

And this post (is larger) and has some overlay on it that may help you identify what it's from (physical copy wise).
