[edit] Name preference

There seems to be back and forthing on the mecha names. I'd just like to point out that whilst the renames do exist and are used, Bandai openly admits the original names and uses them on the subtitles for the R1 DVDs. The English renames exist purely for marketting reasons for political correctness. I don't believe they should be given preference. It's not like the original names have been removed or are incorrect.--HellCat86 16:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

This still keeps happening. Seriously, there's no reason for it. It's not like Sunrise/Bandai suddenly declared the old names void and the renames canon. The renames were purely to avoid the chance of offending anyone and if you look at the Japanese and subtitles on the official US DVDs you can still find the original names. There's no reason to give preference to the renames other then US bias.--HellCat86 11:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, this ridiculous preference to Dark Gundam is stupid, as is the rationale it's ok because apparently no official merchandise uses Devil Gundam in English. Here's a bunch of official merchandise which proves otherwise- http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN46438 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN916008 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN913780 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN912043 http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL1635 http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL1609 --HellCat86 07:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Writing of article sloppy.

There's numerous run sentences and over use of terms such as "got over it" and "some <<thing>>". It's kinda rambling sounding. Shu24 22:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Text Stolen from MAHQ

After Mobile Suit Victory Gundam finished airing in Japan in early 1994, Bandai commemorated Gundam's 15th anniversary by trying something new: developing the franchise outside the continuity of the Universal Century. Thus, the alternative worlds were born that are the settings for every TV series following Victory Gundam. Premiering in 1994, Mobile Fighter G Gundam was the first of the alternative Gundam Universe series that would be unrelated to the Universal Century Gundam series. Directed by Giant Robo's Yasuhiro Imagawa, this series took a different approach to the Gundam saga. Rather than having a war between the colonies and the Earth, a fighting tournament is held. This is called the Gundam Fight, it is held once every four years by the United Colonies Federation. Each country would send its own representative, that would pilot a Gundam, and the Gundams would then fight on the Earth until only one is left, and that Gundam's nation will then be able to obtain sovereign rights over all the nations, until another nation wins in the next Gundam Fight. This series is set in Future Century (FC) 60, during the 13th Gundam Fight and it focuses on the Neo Japan Gundam Fighter Domon Kasshu

[edit] Raven Gundam

There seems to be some issue with this since people keep listing it as Soaring Raven Gundam whilst GundamOfficial quite clearly lists it as just Raven Gundam: http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/fc/mechanics/mf_raven.html It's also being confused by the title of episode 42, Assault of the Four Heavenly Kings! Soaring Gundam Heaven's Sword. Naturally in the dub this becomes Assault of the Four Heavenly Kings! Soaring Raven Gundam. Because of this and the double barrelled name in the original Japanese, people seem to be thinking Soaring is part of the Gundam's name. It's not, it's a description used in the episode title.--HellCat86 10:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fighting styles

Should we mention that they control their gundams through the motion sensor skin things? Im pretty sure that all the pprevious ones just had the levers and pedals. I never did understand how you could have a complex duel with just those four controls and some buttons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.107.216.12 (talk) 06:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Superasia.JPG

Image:Superasia.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
