Ask the Editors

I feel like we could use a page like this to standardize the edits we make and ask for help rather than make fall into a cycle of overwriting each others edits in the future. This will fall outside the checklist stuff since this will mostly involve the nitpicky stuff.

To make this page actually useful:

• Avoid calling out other fellow editors. They're trying to contribute too!
• You can run editing polls to see what the majority would prefer in your edits and get some input. Don't bother trying to cheat the vote counts since we all have access to past revisions...

Questions from Zephyranthes:

1.

I've been editing the anime show topics, but I've been trying to minimize spoilers by adding show/hide boxes in the plot and sorting characters and mecha by their initial faction rather than the faction they would later join, even if a switch happens pretty early. Do you guys actually mind this or would prefer to just blast as much info as possible and compromise the plot to future readers?

I would rather prefer it that way

A Gundam: I prefer it that way because it looks better and can also avoids spoilers for some of us.

I rather have as much info as possible

So it comes to my attention that some titles have been released under multiple names in English and I don't want to cringe by myself and figure out which to decide on as the main article names. So I want to see which title you guys are more familiar with. This also applies to some series that have been given better translated names than the Western distributors themselves...

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing or New Mobile Report Gundam Wing

Did some research and this has been released with both names. Those who are from the states and watched Cartoon Network like me are more familiar with Mobile Suit Gundam Wing while those who may have watched remastered versions may have seen the other title being used. Which one should akurasu use? I'm leaning towards Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, but I don't want my personal bias in there so help me x_x

Mobile Suit: 1
New Mobile Report: 1

~Mattman324: For the same reason we don't accept "The New Adventures of Gigantor".

Dancouga

Was initially released as Dancouga because of its Katakana spelling, but Dancougar obviously sounds 10x more badass and fits with the bestial theme of the mecha. Which would you prefer?

Dancouga: 1
Dancougar: 1

~Mattman324: CODE: D. A. N. C. O. U. G. A. DANCOUGA. There's no R. And I think it sounds more badass that way. ^Zephyrantes: That was the only reason why I initial made it as Dancouga.
