[edit] Ghost Chess

Are the Ghost Chess from the filler arc of the anime the same as the Zonnen? If not, then I feel they should be noted here. 72.68.56.138 03:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC) N. Oxyde

no they are not, the Ghost Chess appeared later and they were stronger. but at the moment there have only been raw episodes up to that far into the series, and while most of us can't understand Japanese, we can't add any information of them to prevent false understandings. it would be good if those who understand Japanese watch the raw episodes (by mean of downloading it, i've just checked on youtube.com and they were all deleted) and contribute everything they could have heard.

Alright. Do you know which episode numbers the Zonnen appear in? Perhaps we could mark that. Also, I say that we make the Anime differences a little more noticable in the summaries, so people don;t get confused. 172.145.67.151 05:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)N. Oxyde

i think it's episode 49. yeah i've been thinking about that too, but if you just add them all in out of the blue it will pretty much return to the messy state it was sometime before.... i mean, the manga-anime divergence seems to have started in the recent episodes. major changes are being made, so personally i'd like to wait longer... perhaps until the series ends, then we make all those clear, and edit them (we can even make seperate articles, so we can emphasize on the differences). that is to say, when the RAWs end. the subs are taking longer than expected, and we can't actually wait all that long.

why yes, and this too: when you edit the ARM section, could you set them in the following order, Weapon - Nature - Ghost/Holy/Darkness (whatever you like first, but make sure the rest follow the same order) - Guardian ? it looks better that way. thank you. Profet 666 07:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chess Pieces article notability

From User talk:Sandstein

Hello, I'd like permission to remove your notability tag from Chess Pieces (MÄR) on the grounds that it's just another "List of Characters" article identicle to the ones most other articles on fictional stories have. Is this okay? - The Norse 22:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. You don't need my permission, but that's not a convincing argument. Why, specifically, is this fictional organisation notable, i.e., what reliable substantial third-party coverage does it have? Also, the WP:A problems are the more serious ones. Sandstein 23:14, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I was asking because they're usually readded after I get rid of them anyway. Anywho, this fictional organisation is notable because it plays the role of the main and only antagonists in MÄR, a decently popular anime series. This article was created because the main article became way too cluttered with character profiles so it was split off into a seperate one, the main reason why all Character List articles are made. - The Norse 01:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Please forget about notability for a moment. This article has no sources at all. Please provide some reliable sources to which all the content can be attributed, or else it will be a candidate for deletion soon. Sandstein 07:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

.. i've added the sources for references. Please see to it that the edition matched Wiki standards, and correct if it needs be. Profet 666 12:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translations

i've edited the name 'Magical Rou' back to 'Magical Lou', for i find the second translation makes better sense than the first, taking into account this character is a clown. See the article Lou Jacobs for more information.

And the translation for the name of that Knight, Vidar, or Pizel as someone recently put it. I've consulted the Japanese official site for the hiragana translation, and it literally pronounces Uizaru. For this kind of name both translations make sense, but i'd still like to put it 'Vidar', for the mythological association with Yggdrasil (although they weren't by any means connected). As for questions about the bird Guardian name, i've checked the same source and found that it literally pronounces Buriideinbado so i've changed in into 'Wooden Bird'. If you find that incorrect, please correct it, since my translation skill is just above average. Profet 666 05:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

i've edited the Guardian-Weapon 'Ariu Majuu' to 'Allu Mage', and i've even left the reference link for that. Check the site out before editing, i think it's the most accurate translation. Same for Lemures and Wakan Tanka.

and from now on, please leave a reference link there/post it here so all of us can check before editing anything. And DON'T edit if you can't find anything similar or just read it off some scanlations, they're not always accurate as you think, i'm tired of editing over and over.
