[edit] Unreference, AGAIN

Maybe you'll get it if I remove things from the article. The following section is NOT referenced ANYWHERE in the links provided as references.

Only two units appeared in the movie and are confirmed to be built. The first unit, which spots a dark blue colour and a prominent antenna on its head, was piloted by artificially-enhanced cyber-Newtype Gyunei Guss. His unit was equipped with a beam assault rifle mounting an attached grenade launcher. Gyunei used this mobile suit to fight Amuro Ray twice, first in the prototype RGZ-91 Re-GZ, and later in the custom-engineered RX-93 Nu Gundam. Amuro bested him in this second engagement, completely destroying the Jagd Doga with a single bazooka round. The second unit, painted red, was piloted by another artificially-strengthed cyber-Newtype, Quess Paraya. This unit was equipped with a potent beam-based mega Gatling gun. After being damaged in combat, Quess abandoned this unit and subsequently came to use the mobile armor Alpha Azieru.

There is just no satiating you, is there? At any rate. I've added a few references to some third party sources, one to Bandai (for reliability) and a third to the Wayback Machine's archive of Gundam Project's relevant page (at the time of its writing, Mark Simmons was just a Gundam Fan, but is now a consultant for Bandai in the localization of Gundam products for release in North America, so he should fulfill both the third-party and reliable source criterion. Plus he's written books on the subject, so he's published too! Ha-ha!). Users may have to make a small amount of conjecture to link up Bandai's (reliable) plot synopsis with MAHQ's (third party) review that details the exact usage of the Jagd Doga in the film. Additionally, I am told that the Jagd Doga is included in Gundam: The Official Guide's Char's Counterattack section, so I've added that as well. I don't own the book myself, so I cannot make exact citations as of this moment. I'll try to acquire it later. At any rate, short of providing a BitTorrent link to download the movie for themselves (which I hear is frowned upon, piracy and all), I believe this is about as close as one can get with free sources.

Additionally, I've added a reference to the Gundam Technical Manuals (#4, specifically). I had thought these were out-of-print, but used booksellers at Amazon.com are still selling them, so I've ordered the whole bundle. I'll make exactly page and chapter citations after they arrive and I have time to peruse. MalikCarr 01:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
"There is just no satiating you, is there?" No. Which would you prefer, this or the articles being mass AfD? I don't do mass AfD but someone will, or prod it. Or whatever. Now that it's fixed I can move on. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 02:15, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean Article

Right! With Gundam Technical Manual in hand I've cleaned the article up and put in inline citations and what have you. Looks sharp now, eh? MalikCarr 04:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: SD Gundam Force

I'm not going to accept your crumpled infobox, no matter how much you try and polish it with additional content to the article. I don't like it, and the project doesn't like it. Maikeru made a perfectly nice one that kept a few important bits in, and everyone but you thought it was nice. Why do brief armaments and dimensions have to be a deal-breaker for you, dammit? We're warring over a very small detail, and it's stupid.

At any rate, the SD Gundam Force paragraph is helpful because it supports a wider viewing base and establishes further notability. Just the same, I don't want to include it without a good source to back it up - during the deletion purges, "unsourced" was one of the chief claims of the deletion camp, and they were right. If you really want to distance yourself from those book-burners, why not hold off on adding content that would be considered "unsourced" until such a time as it won't degrade the overall article? That's all I ask. MalikCarr 02:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In universe

The article needs to keep clearly in mind that the article is about a fictional storyline. The article needs to maintain the perspective that the story /storyline IS a story and bring relation to the real world, as per the In Universe tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.42 (talk) 23:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
