[edit] GA Status?

Now that the series has ended, and the content should start to be stable, perhaps we should make a goal of bringing the article up to GA status? The one obviously missing piece would be a "themes" section, which really ought to come out of discussions elsewhere rather than being OR here. To that end, there are lively discussions taking place at the AnimeSuki forum (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=29388) and on the "Simoun" and "Yuricon" Yahoo! groups. After a few weeks to a month of coming to a consensus (and writing it up on other web sites), perhaps it can be summarized here. What else needs to be done to make the article GA-worthy?

[edit] Non-Simulacran languages

The speaker in episode 26 was Plumbish, not Argentine. Is the Argentine dialogue from the earlier episodes also reversed? Susan Davis 22:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't sure which ethnicity the person was, as the Plumbish priests translated for both factions. I reversed the dialogue of an Argentine pilot from episode 4, and that's reversed Japanese too. Magus Melchior 01:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PS2 game?

Shouldn't some mention be made of the future Playstation 2 game?[1] -Aknorals 10:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

List of Simoun media would be the place to put it, if it isn't there already. Susan Davis 05:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template and userbox

Hi there. I've just started the template {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Userbox/User Simoun}} and a corresponding self-referencial category. Please, populate it. ^^ If you have a nice non-fair use picture, please, let me know. --Koveras ^☭ 09:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demographic

Add a source, please. :) --Koveras ^☭ 14:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dominura2.jpg

Image:Dominura2.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.

[edit] Official name translations

As much as it pains me to see "Aaeru" rendered "Aer" in the official sub, AFAIK the rules of anime project state that the official names are to be used if an anime is licensed. I believe we should change it before someone comes along and nominates the article for deletion (what, I've seen pages AfDed for less than that!)... Does anyone have a list of official transliterations? --Koveras ^☭ 06:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Aer, Alty, Kaim, Rimone, and Mamina are the ones I remember off the top of my head. When I have more time, I'll check the DVD for the rest. MayumiTsuji (talk) 03:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)MayumiTsuji

I seem to remember that names should be the ones that are most commonly used, not neccessarily the official ones, so if you want to demonstrate that Aaeru is more commonly used than Aer, the names can stay as they are. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(Anime-_and_manga-related_articles)#Series backs me up on this. -Malkinann (talk) 04:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

You have a point there, Malkinann. Still, it'd be nice to have the official names mentioned once in the article, e.g. in the respective character entries. :) --Koveras ^☭ 10:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I decided to update the article to reflect the official English spellings, although I left Rodoreamon and Eri alone, as the way Media Blasters transliterated them (as Roatreamon and Elly) doesn't make a lot of sense. I'll double-check later to make sure I didn't miss anything. MayumiTsuji (talk) 03:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)MayumiTsuji

I think it should be all or nothing in this case: either we stick to the fansub names or to the official transliteration... --Koveras ^☭ 10:09, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

All right then, I'll change those too. MayumiTsuji (talk) 18:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)MayumiTsuji
