[edit] ---Posion's Gender---
People are constantly questioning Poisons gender. If anyone has any scans of the books where its says she is a newhalf that would help to end debates.
A "newhalf?" --AWF
-I changed it to the better sounding "transsexual". That should clear it up. TheHelldragon 23:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)TheHelldragon
--Actually, that won't work, because she didn't have a sex change. "Transsexual" implies that she did, when in fact "she" is still male.--Kung Fu Man 03:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC) --Okay, read the article there...lemme do a quick fix then to better explain it.--Kung Fu Man 03:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
"Transsexual" Girls come in pre-op and post op flavours; and the word applies equally to both. You, sir, are incorrect.
---I know what they were trying to imply to begin with...I probably used the wrong word. Apologies. Freudian slip.--TheHelldragon 00:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
---I edited Posion's article to make it less POV. Before anyone starts, I believe that Posion is a newhalf; just that I removed or merged some sentences which imo, seems to either repeat or argue against a statement made in a previous sentence. Having one sentence saying that the game made a mistranslation of Roxy being female and than having another sentence in another body of the same article, saying it is a recton can confuse the average reader or make it sound as if certain people are expressing their own opinions on Roxy's gender.--Doomzaber 09:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- The "All About Capcom" book mentions the newhalf thing. I don't know if even Capcom knows if she is or isn't, though. Evan1975 08:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
--As far as the Japanese Mega CD version is concerned, Poison is indeed a man or newhalf. [1] The Super Famicom version features the same stamement about Poison and Roxy, but don't quote me on that. Jonny2x4 01:33, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Giant contradiction.
The alleged phone call from capcom USA to Japan (Besides being unsourced) makes no sense, as if the change to "newhalfs" is true, then the Billy and Sid replacements wouldn't be necessary. Since the enemies were actually changed, I'll assume that the first part is incorrect, and remove that part. If anyone disagrees, bring it up here, or cite an official source before reverting. -- Digital Watches! 01:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, there's you reference link, have a good read on the subject.--Kung Fu Man 15:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CVG Assessment
This is in regards to the request for assessment on the CVG Assessment page. I have rated this article as B-class, with a few recommendations for improvement- There are quite a few instances of unencyclopedic tone and weasel words sprinkled throuhgout this article that need cleaned up, though most of those need to be referenced as well. I haven't looked at the PR for this article, but I hope it's going well. Oh, and depending on who you get at GA, the "In-universe" part of the infobox might be frowned upon, though at least it's toned down and out of the article itself. Great job on improving this since I last came upon it! --PresN 05:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
