[edit] Move

As the manga figure Skuld, or at least her name, is apparently derived from Norse mythology, I restored this article to be about the mythological topic, as it originally was, and moved the manga content to Skuld (manga). User:Coolcat had cut and pasted this content to other articles, without noting its origin, without proper editing and without making sure interwiki links worked (all interwiki links go to articles on the mythological topic). Let the people who are working on Norse mythology, such as User:Wiglaf and User:Haukurth, decide if this article should be divided, and where, in that case, to put the content.

I do not let people decide matters if I have views on them. I left the matter alone for User:Wiglaf's sake and to evade a conflict of interest. I could have complained about admin abuse etc but I am not a troll.

Also before I touched this article skuld (page for the nythological deity) also contained information regarding the anime/manga character which was unnaceptable. So I broke the article into two/three and created a disambiguation page.

As far as notablility is concerned fictional Skuld the manga/anime char is more notable than the fictional mythological Skuld as more people watch TV then read books these days.

What I was trying to do is make Skuld a disambiguation page so that everyone should be happy, that is the standard way to do it.

The anime/manga character is very loosly based from the norse one. I do not believe the norse mythological char was a genious in mathmatics and mechanics as well as regenerating energy via icecream nor was she ever in Japan (as scandinavians did not know about Japan). You cannot simply call something completely different a "derived work" --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 16:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Personality

Urd states on the TV serries that Skuld doesnot consider her (Urd) as her sister. Also she shows no sign of shock when Skuld supposively learns about Urds demon half. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 16:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore on the movie we see no real issue between eachother. And in the OVA no serious problems either. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 16:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

That's fine- I have no qualms about your edit to my personality anaylisis, I was just a bit troubled yesteday regarding your edits, because you made some run-on sentences and took out a little info. But this is competent; I agree with your concensus. :) -MegamanZero|Talk 16:19, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I am not happy with my version. I do not mind it being further improved. So long as it doesn't get reverted I am OK :) --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 16:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation help

I am unable to work out how to change the infobox-generic for this page, it is just well beyond my technical capacity! I am terrified of destroying the page (and possibly numerous others) by messing with it. Sadly it automatically links via the "elemental affinity" descriptor to the element disambiguation page, when it should link to either the Japanese Elements page or the Classical Element page. If someone could sort that for me, it would be wonderful. I am unsure where to place my plea, this seemed as good a place as any! APologies if it is the wrong place. I'll drop one on on the Wikiproject's talk page too. LeeG 00:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. --Cat out 09:31, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Errata

This statement 'and an assortment of gadgets that seem to be interesting applications of Aid, Succor, and Dispel' doesn't make any sense and is completely out of place. Never in the manga has any reference been given to Skuld's gadgets in RPG-esque terms. This phrase (and the sentence before that) was actually lifted from this page: http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptionsanime/omg/skuld.html, made by a certain Michael Surbrook. Due to the tangential and irrelevant reference, I have edited it out.

I also cleaned up the article a bit, there were a few other inconsistencies and grammatical errors. --Peorthmegami 05:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Good work. --Cat out 06:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
