thread_title:  hi! 

message: "It (Sailor Stars) has, however, aired in Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, and Latin America."
^Sailor Stars has not aired in France, but it has aired in Spain. I'd advise correcting this information. Elanorea 08:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sailor Stars 

message: A few sections up, we're trying to find lead pictures for the Outers that match each other, like what the Inner Senshi have (but not necessarily matching the Inners, if you see). No luck with high quality yet, though. I did find this promising picture of Saturn, but nothing seems to match it yet. Any help is appreciated. --Masamage 02:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Given enough time in future, people will ask why there is a Sailor Pluto, as Pluto is not a planet (per 2006 redefinition of planet). Should we leave a note about this? SYSS Mouse 19:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Give the fact that we have a Sailor Ceres, a Sailor Vesta, Sailor Pallas, a Sailor Juno, a Sailor Mau, a Sailor Coccon, a Sailor Lethe, etc.., I really don't think it matters and we shouldn't note it. --Kunzite 19:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of the 35 characters I can think of with 'Sailor' before their names (in the anime and manga only, so not including Sailor Pewter Fox, Sailor Luna, etc. and not including the dozen or more phages), only eight are named for planets that were ever an official part of the solar system. No, it's not important. --Masamage 19:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Update: it now has a mention at Setsuna Meioh#Sailor Pluto. --Masamage 21:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sailor MOON is the MAIN CHARACTER, and the moon is NOT a planet either.  What's your point? BettyAnn 23:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is, at least, there is implict categorization among those "Sailors". Give examples, The Protagonists are after planets, Amazoness Quartet are after asteroids in asteroid belt, etc. Also on Pluto, the reason is simple: it was common knowledge, when the magma was produced, that Pluto is a planet.

text: They're occasionally referred to as "planetary senshi" or as "senshi of the solar system". So it's worth mentioning, but is not of great import, which is why the reference is so short and discreet. --Masamage 15:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sailor Pluto 

message: I've IFDed that image.  I think it's a matter of someone wanting their contribution in WP, is all, without understanding how WP works.  There's no indication that the image is fair use,  officially released, or anything.  Moreover, the original image is better.  I think this is going to be a 3RR violation the next time it happens, BTW, so feel free to report it as such. MSJapan 18:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually put it up for speedy deletion on the basis of its being redundant, so it's already gone. So weird... --Masamage 19:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Second Stars image 

message: I propose removing the second disambiguation, leading to Sailor Moon (English version). That article is not about the English series known as Sailor Moon--there's no plot, and no explanation of the cultural phenomenon it was. That stuff is all here. What that article is about is the history of the series' translation into English, when and how it was done, and what changed. If you check out the bottom of its talk page you'll see an example of the confusion this can cause. Really its name needs to be changed, and it should not be linked as if it were something with the same name as this.
If no one objects, I'll do that tomorrow evening. --Masamage 05:05, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Orrrr Denelson will do it! Heehee, thanks. ^^ --Masamage 08:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Ranino

message: The Publishers list more than Kodansha and Tokyopop/Mixx... is this compliant with the standards of nothing outside NA and Japan according to the Project standards? Shouldn't those things be covered in the respective language's SM pages? --Hitsuji Kinno 15:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Publishers

message: This just manages to make it to B-class - it has cite web formatting for the few references it has (then again, an article on an anime/manga isn't likely to need many citations). I noticed some commented-out parts that are commented out because they're unsourced - these need sources, ASAP, or they should just be removed. Also, the article might need some copyediting, but other than that, it looks okay to me. --Coredesat (talk) 19:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Assessment

message: In order to get this article toward featured quality, there should not be any one-or-two-sentence paragraphs in it, such as what I see in the 'Musical stage show adaptations' and 'Televised "live-action" drama adaptation' sections.  Those points should be a little more elaborated upon. --  Denelson83  20:04, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paragraph length 

message: Papirini/Cookirini found this clip on You Tube from DiC. It's really funny, but it backs up a lot of the reports about the names "blue" for Mercury... etc.... Ahhh... Life is good compared to that. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CEXqoPgbH0c --Hitsuji Kinno 03:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That must be the initial promotional tape. --  Denelson83  07:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like. It's available on that Toonami page linked from the English versions article, too, as well as the ToonMakers clip. Man, that thing makes me want to lock someone up. There's also a hilariously nauseating doll commercial that, apparently, actually ran on TV. No wonder people make fun of this stuff. --Masamage 16:20, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: With all the stuff that was sent to other pages, the page looks more like a list of facts than a true base page.Lego3400: The Sage of Time 02:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What else would you expect from an encyclopedia article except a organized set of facts?  This isn't supposed ot be a base page, either; that would be the project page.  Now, keeping all that in mind, what do you think is the problem now that was not a problem before? MSJapan 03:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We're mostly making room for better all-over coverage here--in particular, a good solid Reception section. If you think more of the info from the anime/manga subpages should be duplicated here, there may well be a very good case for that. :) What I left in here was pretty preliminary, and can be expanded on. It was just way too crowded before. --Masamage 05:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree; the PGSM articledoesn't even have a lot of the info its main-page subsection does, which is weird. I think this content sould be moved over there, and a better intro section should be here. I'm open to suggestions about the Senshi image, too--we might even leave it just for the Senshi page itself, since the character sections butts right up against the infobox. I don't think it's high enough quality for this main article. --Masamage 16:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Exactly the image I was thinking of! ^___^ Looks awesome. If no one disagrees, what say we use that for this page instead? We can keep using the other one at Senshi, since it shows full-body shots (which is handy for recognizing the costumes). And it has no non-Senshi, which Tux, the cats, and anime-Kakyuu are. --Masamage 20:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Except that that image is a GIF, and cannot be resized.  Someone will need to convert it to PNG first. --  Denelson83  22:35, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Dang, that looks amazing. What a contrast. --Masamage 01:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too Plain 

message: Hi, I've made a page about sailor moon bootlegs. It suddenly dissappeared. Do you know something about it masamage? I just want to know why nobody would wanna know something about it. Many people buy bootlegs with bad sound and image quality without knowing it's a fake one. I was just started to put more information on the page. Was it maybe it not allowed to write about it? Just tell me and I won't bother anybody anymore with my bootleg info.
I've also put this question on the user talk of masamage. After I got an answer I will delete my messages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justwriting (talk • contribs) 20:10, 18 October 2006

thread_title: Lock

message: I've started up a page on referencing in Sailor Moon here.  Some discussion of what is an appropriate/inappropriate resource is there, too.  Would www.sailor-games.com be an appropriate resource for the video games section?  - Malkinann 00:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No comment on this right off, but dang, that section got huge fast. Branch off, I say! Sailor Moon video games ho! :) --Masamage 04:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or should it be Sailor Moon (video games) to fit with the (anime) and (manga) articles?  ;) - Malkinann 06:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not so sure. The thing about the manga and anime is that they're called "Sailor Moon"--that's the actual title of the single work. The video games article will be about multiple individual works, with many titles, which are based on the rest of the franchise. So this would be more in line with Sailor Moon musicals. --Masamage 08:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

text: The video games section is now substantially the largest in the entire article, so it definitely needs a migration. I'll plop it over there, but it'll be pretty preliminary. --Masamage 16:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
