~Signatures ~ When making a post please sign it with four tildes (a tilde is the squiggly line at the top left of your keyboard ~). You can also sign it using the '''signature button. '''Even if you don't have an account, sign your post. It will use your computers IP as a signature. 

Why do we ask you to do this?

Signatures tell us when a comment was left and who left it. They help us keep track of users and allow us to swiftly remove trolls and vandalizers. It also removes confusion when pages have a large number of comments; when people don't sign their comments, we can't tell the difference between different users commenting on the same post.

Food
Is cake L's favorite food or something? It seems that he eats cake more than anything and he eats it with tea.Sasuke-kun9001 16:26, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

There's actually a page dedicated to everything he eats in How To Read 13. I'll check and see if it says what his favorite is. MarleneZ.    Talk    22:18, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Sleep Problem?
It says that L has black bags underneath his eyes due to lack of sleep. Does anybody know exactly how long it has been since he has slept? Please answer.71.65.96.209 01:43, May 1, 2012 (UTC)L Lawliet

For the manga and anime, that is unknown. However, there was a One-shot chapter (L: One Day) released in conjunction with the film L: Change the WorLd that gives an exact number. This number is only canon to the film series, though. MarleneZ.    Talk    22:18, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Here you go: L slept almost 17 hours after 102 hours of no sleep. Ouch. MarleneZ.    Talk    22:22, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!

Correct Posture?
Wouldn't we be able to add that L does in fact stand in a correct posture at least once since he is seen standing (with one knee bent slightly) in the HTR13? As his "profile" picture, as this was the picture from when the NPA first met L in the hotel. And weren't there also one or two other stances were he stood normally? I'm sure he stood normally when first meeting Light, or Misa, or someone at least once or twice. I'm aware we have to be careful when looking for this, as most of the time he's standing he is slouched over. On page 159 of of Death Note: Volume 4 (upper left corner box) he appears to be standing normally, having only a slighty slouch in his posture. He also appears to be standing normally (same book, neighboring pages) when he answers the phones he stole from Misa before apprehending her as suspect for being the second Kira. on page 164 (bottom box) of Volume 4, when speaking to Light, he does not appear to be slouching. I'd appreciate if this was looked into, thanks. Squattop 20:29, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

I checked it out and while he's not hunched as much as usual, he's still not standing in what is considered to be a "correct" posture. For example, the way L is positioned in his profile pic on this wiki is "incorrect" posture even though he is barely leaning, while the way Light is positioned in his profile picture is considered "correct."

Birthday
I'd like to point out, that in a book i bought, it says his birthday was December 31 not October. Please change this...or at least say were you got it from, cause if it were the book that's wrong i would like a refunded -.-

We got his birthday out of Death Note: How To Read 13. What book did you get your information from? We can't say either source is "wrong" unless we know what your source was. If it's official merchandise than we might have an issue on our hands. MarleneZ.    Talk 21:29, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Bells?
In that one episode when L and Light were standing on the roof in the rain, L said he could hear bells...I've looked all over this wikia and I can't find out anything about it(the bells, what was with that). Could someone please explain?

Thanks,

 * It sounds like he's talking about a [funeral toll], and the dialogue in that scene suggests that he knows he'll die soon. Also in the episode where Near and Mello are introduced at Wammy's House, a bell sound is heard. MarleneZ.     Talk

Anime stats
Someone put down L's intelligence in the anime. Where was this information aquired? The anime guidebook has not come out in English, and I've been unable to order even the Japanese version, so I find the authenticity of this information questionable. Whoever added this information, please site your source so that we can confirm that the information is credible.

Question about L in Death Note: Another Note
does l try to hug naomi in the book l change the world? or is it just beyond birthday? do l or beyond birthday love naomi? can anyone who has read the book answer me? i want to read it but it is not found on the internet! what should i do? :((( 78.182.155.144 20:12, February 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not that I recall, and no, the book can't be found on the internet. You're better off just buying it. Just order it on Amazon or something.
 * You should keep these sort of questions to blog entries. Talk pages are for discussing details of the contents of the page.
 * For future posts on talk pages, when shifting subjects, please add a new topic and title.

L is a Daft Punk fan?
Ok, now, I know this already sounds ridiculous, but the synthesized voice L uses in the English version sounds EXACTLY like the synthed voice Daft Punk used during their | live shows in 1997 and a bit like in their Homework track | Teachers. Check out the links and I might not seem as crazy to you.

I'm guessing the people who dubbed it might have been fans.

L's Height?
This is a pretty small issue but I just wanted to point out that the page lists his height as "179 cm (5'8")  (estimated)" While I'm not sure how accurate that estimate is, I do want to just say that 179 cm is 70.4724 inches, or around 5'10" not 5'8". This then brings up the question, which one is it? Is he 5'8" or 5'10"? Personally, I think that the 5'10" estimate holds more weight, if not because anime artists in general like to make their male characters tall, broad-shouldered, muscular, lean and whatnot, then also because I always estimated his height to be near six foot.

 * We're not converting these measurements ourselves. The original, Japanese version lists the measurements in cm and kg, whereas the American-English version lists them in ft-in and lbs. We're keeping it cannon.

L's stats are inaccurate. Just because he was defeated by Light does not mean that he is an 8 and Light is a 9. Here:

"Ohba said that L is the most intelligent character in the entire  Death Note''<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:22.4px;"> series because 'the plot requires it'." ''

<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:22.4px;">Please change it to ten.

Why is L's page tagged under "humans with shinigami eyes"? Could this please be changed?

It's too bad we are not allowed to edit these pages ourselves, tbh.
