thread_title:  Sailor Picture 

message: Changed "Prince" to "lover" in the manga info section.  There's no indication given in the text as to the gender of her lover, or whether s/he was royalty.  (Although I think the Alex Glover translation says he, the original just says "ano hito", or that person.)  Did it say Prince in the English manga?
I'm not sure if it's really necessary to make a note of something this small, but oh well. ^^;

thread_title:  Teeny little edit 

message: I'm going out limb here (ok not really) and assuming that the mark on her forehead means the same thing for her as the crescent does on Sailor Moon, that it is her Planetary Symbol. Can anyone find a close up of it and cut it out?  To display like we do for the senshi. And would a Star be the Starlights Planetary Symbol? --Lego3400:  The Sage of Time 02:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think they are flowers (or clovers).  There was a bunch of them surrounding her body when ChibiChibi found her in the manga.  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 23:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

text: More accurately, they might be lilacs.  There is a mention to the smell of lilacs in regards to the Starlights and Princess Kakyuu in the manga (as opposed to olive blossoms in the anime).  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 00:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Does it really say lilac in the manga?  I could've sworn it said "kinmokusei", which is sweet osmanthus.  Otherwise the whole "Kinmoku sei" pun doesn't make sense.  And the osmanthus flower does look quite a bit like the symbol on her forehead: http://www.floridata.com/wallpaper/jpg/Osmanthus_fragrans800b.jpg

replies: text: The English manga does indeed say lilac.  Usagi says she smells lilacs when Seiya rescues her at the beginning when Mamoru was attacked by Galaxia, again when she recieves those cards in the mail (from Seiya) and again when ChibiChibi shows her the inscence burner that Kakyuu was healing in.  Given that both lilacs and osmanthus flowers both belong th the Oleaceae family, the joke is not ruined.  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 07:41, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Even if they're in the same family, I'm pretty sure the Japanese word kinmokusei refers specifically to osmanthus.  I could be wrong, though.  (The materials collection only says "kinmokusei" which doesn't really help prove my point.)  I didn't know it said lilac in the English manga.  Should the article give both, do you think?Yumecosmos 23:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Kinmokusei is definitely fragrant olive. It's probably appropriate to mention very briefly that the English manga translated it differently. --Masamage 00:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

text: It could be that the Japanese language only has one word for all the members of this flower family.  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 08:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The type of fragrant olive that appear on the upper part of her outfit (including head piece and forehead) are part of Osmanthus fragrans, but are known as the Aurantiacus variation. "Aurantiacus" apparently means "Orange-red coloured". They are similar to the "Thunbergii" variation that someone mentioned above. But the ones her outfit display are in fact the Aurantiacus.

message: I am currently reading the Stars arc in the English manga again, and I have yet to see Princess Kakyuu be called "Princess Fireball".  They refer to her as "Princess Kakyu" (note the one "u").  -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 01:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

text: i saw it as well dose the stars anime use the name kakyuu because i only remember them useing fireball and just princess Sailor cuteness 17:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because there are so many versions of the subbed anime, and because none are official, we probably don't need to take them all into account. (Just as well, since it'd be hard...) --Masamage 20:58, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't rember how that came about. One user had proof, though someone had reverted it, saying it was fan-crufty. So i pointed them at that user's proof and we put it back.

replies: text: I was thinking we could format it like it was about the planet--have the intro talk about Kinmoku's name and stuff, with the major section being "Key figures" or something. Kinda like Silver Millennium. --Masamage ♫ 22:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't think this is a good idea.  The matter is complicated by the manga and the anime having different backstories. JuJube 20:01, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: oh but couldn't we cover it in the article? with anime and manga sections or just writing in manga they flew into space and in anime they went to a tv station lolz  ♥Eternal Pink-Ready to fight for love and grace♥ 20:16, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

text: What are you referring to specifically, JuJube? I can't think of any differences that wouldn't be amply covered. If they go into space in the manga, and not the anime, we'd have to talk about that in both the Kakyuu and Starlights pages anyway. I don't see how that prevents us from merging, especially because then we'd only have to mention it once. --Masamage ♫ 23:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Specifically, while certain key elements of the story remain the same (ie. ChibiChibi protecting the incense burner from destruction), the storyline differs drastically.  With that said, I suppose I'm no longer opposed to merging, although I still think it's a bad idea.  I just can't adequately articulate my reasons right now. JuJube 00:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Storyline is what Sailor Stars is for. :) Probably a lot of what we've got in here now could be merged out. --Masamage ♫ 00:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Merging will also allow the introduction of Princess Kakyuu's prince in a bit more detail. (I know one or two sentences talking about the manga... but still it's a minor character that we never see, but she mentions). --Hitsuji Kinno 14:49, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did it ever say it was a prince? I think it just said lover ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ 21:15, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Princess Kakyuu, also," he says. "Her beloved was lost to Galaxia... Sailor Moon, whatever battle awaits you in the galaxy, we have power at your side." He kisses her hand. "We will protect you." (Alex Glover Act 46) However it's indirect speech model... because previous page Princess Kakyuu said, "The desire of the strong, beautiful guardian soldiers of the solar systems is to be sailor soldiers scattered across the galaxy. You took the Prince's hand, and you showed the shining of this planet's next king and queen. In that moment, the power of this planet's light, filled with the power of life, crossed time and space and spread throughout the entire galaxy. That was a message from this solar system stronger, brighter, and warmer than ever before. I have wanted to meet you for so very long." Japanese is supposed to be intuitive... beloved in the kanji context implied more than just "passing by lover" but something along the lines of Endymion and Serenity kind of thing. I don't know how to term that since Japanese have concepts of "crush" "light non-serious romantic love interest" "boyfriend" "going steady person who is male" "lover" "deep infatuated with lover" "Live-in lover" "married"... the words used were along the lines of "long time lover that she was very, very serious about" juxtaposed to the "rare for a prince and princess to join hands" text. --;; I don't think that kind of thing will float with an American audience who wants everything to be spoken out rather than intuited. But it's worth a shot explaining Japanese mode of communication through contextual basis. Speech is never without context unless artificially made to be. --Hitsuji Kinno 22:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought for sure there was a place she herself talks about it? Alex Glover translated her as saying 'him', and I assumed she was saying 'kareshi'. Am I making stuff up? --Masamage ♫ 00:05, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I wanted to wait and be sure everyone was satisfied with the merge not going through; by this point that does seem to be the case, so I'll remove them and a make a note of it at the main page. --Masamage ♫ 21:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
