Whether Yoshikata Amano should be classified as a mangaka in a wiki. I was saying he wasn't a mangaka, so he should be in an Artist category - which doesn't exist yet.
(I'm leaning towards your side of the argument, by the way--I'd categorize Amano as an artist/illustrator/designer. For him to be a mangaka, wouldn't he have to actually, er, draw a manga?)
Why would the real Neil lurk and/or edit at TV Tropes? He's out there doing cooler things and meeting cool people and cuddling cool animals. I say it's a Gaiman fanboy sockpuppeting.
"I'm done with uploading my photos at GHIBLI with Hayao Miyazaki on my blog. What should I do now? Of course, I'll troll at a discussion page at a wiki, signed with my real name!" <- Yeah, totally picturing Neil by that logic.
I've seen people calling themselves with mangaka names (for instance, Mokona Apapa) at message boards. This is why it's not so surprising to me.
You're using an if/then absolute statement. I never said mangaka aren't artists (tho some of them I wouldn't consider as such for their quality.), I only said //he// isn't. Anyone who is an artist isn't a mangaka either. In this world, classifications are essential in everyday life, hence etrangere having an argument with "Neil Gaiman". =P
