[edit] Featured List Failed

Well, the featured list nomination failed even though all the issues raised by people who opposed were addressed and corrected, but only two reversed their opposition to support. The others probably did not have the page on watch and so they didn't see that their issues were dealt with. Hopefully, it will pass next time, though! --AutoGyro 16:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be re-nominated? Kariteh 16:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
You can re-nominate it if you'd like. I was the one who nominated it before so I think someone else should do it the second time. --AutoGyro 19:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
I've re-submitted it. It meets all the criteria; there's no reason for it not to pass. Kariteh 20:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Shin Lupin"

We really ought to stop calling this show "Shin Lupin III." "Shin" is nowhere in the title. "Shin (New) Lupin III" was a nickname for the series made by fans. It was never officially called as such. In fact, the official Japanese name is "Lupin III." Just look at the title cards for the series...they all just say simply "Rupan Sansei" ("Lupin the Third"). Even if it were called "Shin Lupin," shouldn't we call it "New Lupin III" or "The New Lupin III?" It's not exactly a difficult or lossy translation from the Japanese.

The official International English title for the series is "Lupin the Third Part II" (also "...Part 2"). This is to help distinguish it from the First Series/Part I and the otherwise confusingly titled Third Series, "...Part III." There are other official English titles, but they are varied. For example, the first DVD box called it "LUPIN THE THIRD second.tv" (with Part I being "...first.tv"). But again, it's inconsistent. Other releases have called it "Lupin the Third (The) Second TV Series." The only consistent English title across all American releases (at least, in the fine print) is "Lupin the Third Part II." (If links and images are needed to prove this, I can provide some later.)

But please, no more "Shin Lupin." It's wrong on multiple levels. --LupintheThird 07:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
