message: I'm going to follow the lead of what we did over at List of One Piece characters and eliminate incidental and/or trivial characters, this list really only needs to mention the main characters that are seen throughout most the series.  While this page isn't really the long, it's all plot and it's pretty messy.  Anyone who has a problem with these removals may discuss them here.  --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 07:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Please note that this is not a list of every character in Elfen Lied, this is a list of the notable characters in Elfen Lied.  Unimportant or incidental (one-time) characters have gradually been removed as there's nothing useful to say about them.  This page should be about the characters, not an extended plot summary.  So when you go to edit this page, please don't think "Which characters are missing?" because all the important characters are here, instead look for way to improve existing text either by looking for copy errors, or adding references to the manga or anime.  I'm going to dig out my Newtype magazine interview with the anime director and see if I can't find anything about the characters there.  --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 05:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree that all the characters play important roles to the story.  However what we are concerned with here is not their importance to the plot, but the importance to the reader in understanding Elfen Lied.  It simply isn't necessary for the average reader to have a list of every possible character; rather, we just list the main characters and maybe the few side characters that are needed to understand the subject.  This is the approach taken in the higher-rated character list articles.  Remember, Wikipedia is written for an average reader, not just for fans.    --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 14:09, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of some characters 

message: I might make a mistake since I didn't read the japanese version but a fan translated one, but in the manga it seems that Kouta thinks his sister died from illness not in a car accident. He thinks his dad died in a car accident. In the article it is stated that he thinks that in the manga he thinks his sister died in a car accident.
By the way, there is a "citation needed" for the fact that in the anime he believes Kanae died from illness, as far as I remember, it is in the first episode, when Kouta evokes memories from Kanae over the seashell (I clearly remember Yuka saying "Byouki ... desu", wich prooves it is illness indeed). Since I am not really familiar with Wikipedia editing and the requirements to meet I didn't do the change, but I would gladly do it !

message: While it's just fine to point out in the text that the character is portrayed in a certain way in the manga, and a certain way in the anime.  We use prose to make this distinction, not separate subsections.  --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 20:50, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: On a related note, the editing model is EDIT -> REVERT -> DISCUSS, not EDIT -> REVERT -> REVERT REVISION and demand a discussion before original state is restored.  --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 20:51, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

text: *Additional comments about the cousin marriage note.  I reiterate that WP:OR states: "Do not make analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims about material found in a primary source".  Unless the reviews of Elfen Lied make such comments, do not include them here.  Also, we do not favor a particular cultural point of view.  English is a world-wide language and the reader will not necessarily have an American or European cultural perspective. The note is not necessary and off-topic.  --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 09:04, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
