New Article Pasted In

I just pasted in the new material several of us have been working on. This includes the Manga article itself plus a sources/explanation page called Manga/About this Article. The sources page contains information about where the article came from (partly, but only partly!) Wikipedia, plus other information.

Comments, suggestions, and changes are most welcome -- but please discuss them here on the talk page before editing the article itself. That way we can all reach agreement about what should and should not be included.

There are some topics and themes that were not addressed -- perhaps many, in fact. But this is an encyclopedia article, not a textbook. I hope that the references will point any interested readers to areas not developed.

The references need a comment. IMO, reference formats should not be changed, for reasons described on the Manga/About this Article page. The bibliography is long, but -- alas for the ego of authors -- although writers want to believe that their work will survive for decades for its brilliant insights, for its subtle and keen logic, and for its compelling prose, many articles like this are valuable primarily for their bibliographies. So the bibliography is long -- not complete; no one could create such a bibliography -- but comprehensive enough for our purposes.

Thanks to everyone who gave help and assistance!
