[edit] Spammer listings

I just edited the article about Billy Williams, and wanted to caution you about the U.S. principle of "innocent until proven guilty". Stating that someone is a "notorious spammer" if the person denies being one can be grounds for a lawsuit, which, even if frivolous, would be bad for Wikipedia.

I'm certainly not saying don't write about spammers! What I'm suggesting is that you make distinctions between admitted spammers, convicted spammers, and those who are merely alleged to be spammers.

That having been said, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! Steve Casburn 08:56, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Yeah, you're quick!SatuSuro 15:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC) Clearly wants the attention, and obviously knows what to do! SatuSuro 15:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Problem is, if it shows signs of knowing what to do, clearly will be like alien II or something likie that? or the revenge of texas chainsaw etc? SatuSuro 22:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Macross 7 etc.

'Glad to help out! I tried to avoid spoilers when I can, although the articles might need the spoiler tag for people who haven't seen beyond the first episodes. The Minor/Major/Master classifications are unofficial, as are some of the names that Central Anime uses. Fortunately, the Macross 7 home video liner notes from Japan's Bandai Visual does have what might be considered official Romanizations. How the names are written now — Bandai Visual's Romanization (漢字とかカナ Hepburn Romanization) — looks good now. Egan Loo 18:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Space Battleship Yamato

Most of this information can be found in a very cool book [1] that I highly, highly recommend to Yamato fans. I don't know if the Comet Empire is based on anything or not. Zwordar and Sabera are plays on "Sword" and "Saber". I got the info about Valsey (I didn't want to spell it "Balsey"; do you agree?) being named after Halsey from the Japanese wikipedia. Yabu... I don't know if he was ever listed on the ending credits. Part of the reason was that he was voiced by Kenichi Ogata, who was already credited as Analyzer. Apparently he was also played by Michihiro Ikemizu very early on. There was a lot of shuffling of supporting voice actors during the first season.

  • Re: ズォ. It's that way in my book and on Japanese wikipedia. [2]

You are correct, "ズォ" is very, very unusual. Now that you mention it, I'm not sure I've seen it used anywhere else. That's probably why it's been written as "ズオ" sometimes.

  • Why I hate the spelling "Balsey": Do you have the term "ballsy" [3] in the UK?
  • Zurvival: for some reason, the English word "survival" is used in Japanese and written サバイバル. (You'd think it would be written "サーバイバル", but it isn't.) The White Comet character's name is so similar (ザバイバル) that I'm sure that's what they were going for.
  • I'd still recommend that book even to a person who couldn't read any Japanese; there are lots of pics of every character, ship, planet, etc. from the whole series. Evan1975 17:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Valsey's ship's cannon His ship is the Medalūza [4], right? It says the ship has a "Flame/Blaze Direct Hit Cannon". Evan1975 19:18, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, kaen chokugeki hou is exactly right. Do you have that same NTSC Hong Kong DVD that I do? Evan1975 22:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Re: Space Battleship Yamato (spaceship) - Looks great! Do you remember something about a "hado cartridge" or somesuch being added in one of the movies? I seem to recall that. I'm going to have to rent the crummy R1 Yamato DVDs to try and refresh my memory. Evan1975 19:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I never noticed to stripes on the guns; I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Don't quote me on this, but I think those cartridges debuted in Be Forever Yamato. I really should just shell out the 8000yen or whatever for the Japanese R2 Be Forever. Evan1975 00:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Goer->Gör - You can spell his name as the more accurate "Gör" if you want; I was just afraid English speakers might pronounce "Gör" as "gore". Putting "クロイツ" into a search engine turns up the words "Kreuz" (cross), so I went with that spelling. There is a video game character also called "ハイデルン", and they romanzie it Heidern. Evan1975 05:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Ship schematics - No, my book doesn't really have any schematics like that. There are a ton of Yamato books out there and I have very few of them. He lists some books in his bibliography and a few web sites [5]. Evan1975 06:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aaagh! It's the Mr. Hell Show

You created the stub page for Aaagh! It's the Mr. Hell Show so I presume you must have some sort of interest in it. I have fleshed out the page a bit to make it better and putting a note on your userpage to tell you that a complete season DVD will be out early next year :) --Mercifull 01:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
