Move Request

This character should be moved from 彳-bronze.svg to 往-bronze.svg and be completed. See here, it is a bronze of 往 not 彳. Also, if this is just an example (seing how only the left side is black, it should be marked as such and not be confused with 彳-bronze (which doesn't exist). --Tauwasser (talk) 20:11, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

No : it illustrates the 彳character, for which there is no known example available in bronze script as stand-alone, but which exists in composed characters. This is why the rest of the character is grey, not black. Now, if you "complete" the character by changing that grey into black, it will be another picture that can indeed be named 往-bronze.svg - so what? It will be unfit to illustrate the shape of 彳, and there is still a need for a specific 彳-bronze.svg illustration. Michelet-密是力 (talk) 06:21, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

But according to InternationalScientific it doesn't have a bronze style. Regardless, I was under the impression that those names were reserved for the "pure" characters only and not examples showing it as part of another character.　However, I noticed that some other kanji like 口 also have pictures with them being only components. And some kanji have been "filles up", that is some of their named characters are actually from another style.

So I was confused as to which rationale to follow. The original authors seemed very specific of no mixing up of the naming style and that's why I suggested to move this file, or maybe rename it *-style-example.svg or something. So it is not listed as an actual style in itself on the gallery page. --Tauwasser (talk) 00:36, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
