[edit] Mullin
I don't believe any time in the series was it said that Mullin married Dunya so I clarified that and some other things. Also I think we should have a biography on Dunya herself, which I might do if no objects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpuwhiz11 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Étude
Along similar lines to the "Luft?" proposal, the term "étude" is also related to chess. It literally means "a study", and although it was first used as a musical term (meaning "a short musical composition designed to provide practice in a particular technical skill in the performance of a solo instrument."). An étude in chess is an analogous term, meaning usually a board position specifically engineered to teach players to utilize a specific kind of strategy or game mechanic in order to win. In accordance with this, I changed the list of episodes not named by chess terms. DrChengele 04:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I figured it was, but I couldn't find any sources to confirm it so I left it out Ziiv 03:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Since I am unable to find any sources that talk about Étude as a chess term, i am changing it back. Could you provide a source that talks about Étude as a chess term? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sir LoseALot (talk • contribs) 03:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

- I wasn't aware my word for it wasn't enough :) . It is not really an official term, more a stylization. But still, it is a term used to describe short chess studies meant to educate. Seen in context of other episodes' titles, it is reasonable to assume they meant it as an allusion to chess and not, for example, to a musical piece. By the way, I just googled for "etude chess" and got 300000 results. Should be enough to convince anyone the term is used in connection to chess. (Although to be honest, chess sonata and chess symphony searches also produced outrageous numbers of results). Here's the first one that popped out: [7]. It has Chess Etudes in its title and doesn't even try to explain what they are. In my opinion that implies that chess players are fairly familiar with the term, no?

- The title makes it seem as though the study is of Lavie... although searching chess etudes seems to pull up a large number of relevant results so it is used as a chess term i guess —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sir LoseALot (talk • contribs) 04:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC).
- That's because the show uses a running metaphor of the story as being chess game with the characters as pieces. Lucciola and Dio are rooks, Delphine is a queen, etc...Ziiv 06:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thats true, however, all the examples of etudes in chess, that i've found, give you a scenario and want you to find what you want to do in the future. If i recall correctly Etude Lavie is a flashback episode detailing Lavie and Clause's past.
- Chess studies isolate a certain aspect of the game and analyze it to shed new light on how certain pieces interact. Since the players are symbolized by chess pieces, this title makes sense from that point of view. The episode isolates Claus and Lavie from the rest of the cast and studies them to see what motivated them to become Vanship pilots. This study comes at a time in the plot when Claus's motivation for flying is expanding.66.45.155.136 (talk) 02:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Silvana
I support the merge of Silvana (Last Exile) into this page, because that page does not cite any sources nor give any real-world context for notability. --Coppertwig 00:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Character articles to list
I've tagged all of the character articles as needing to be merged into a single List of Last Exile characters. None are referenced, and all of them are just plot summaries with OR and a personal essay feel. None establish the necessary notability needed to have a standalone article.

[edit] Merge from Grand Stream and Prester
Subsequent to closing the AfDs for the sub-articles on Grand Stream and on Prester, I have merged material here and here. If more material from those sub-articles is desired here, please just remember to note the source in the edit summary with a direct link as I have done in that difference so that authorship credit is preserved per GFDL. If the editors here regard any of that information as unnecessary, they're encouraged to improve it just as they would any other edit. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Add Exile (Last Exile) to that. Lots of activity here in mid-May. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:37, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
With the mergers done, anyone want to volunteer to seriously hack that stuff down to a single paragraph each, and fix the sectioning? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
