thread_title: Plot Summary

message: The anime series itself uses a lowercased 's' and its corresponding website seems to follow a similar convention. The page at MediaWorks also does likewise. Is it actually written as 'Sola' and not 'sola' anywhere?. --Remy Suen 18:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't matter. Per Wikipedia naming conventions, a title isn't supposed to have all lowercase or all uppercase letters, even if it's predominatnly written in that way. This occured with the Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume article and the Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life article too.--十八 23:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I found the no-all-lowercases style in the []. --Remy Suen 01:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Perfect example of the difference between a logo, and a title.  For another example, see Air, whose logo appears in uppercase in much the same way. 202.10.93.213 07:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: sola and not Sola?

message: The Yaka are referred to as both Woe of the Night and Calamity of the Night in this article. Shouldn't one be picked to avoid confusion?
:I went ahead and changed to one Woe to Calamity.--十八 01:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Woe does sound a bit more poetic though. ^_^; --Darkbane 01:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I really don't mind; change it to woe if you like.--十八 04:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I think an spoilers warning would perhaps be appropriate for the 'Characters' section? -- Execvator 08:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Spoiler warnings, per a recent discussion at WP:SPOILER are not meant to be used around sections that are obvious that they contain spoilers, like plot or character descriptions, so they are being phased out of most articles right now. If you want to add them in, be in mind that they'll most likely be removed shortly thereafter by someone.--十八 08:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Spoilers Warning

message: Currently, the sola page is located at sola (manga).  However, seeing as the manga is not the source material (it is simply the first adaptation to be released), I think that the page should be moved to sola (series) or a similar title.
Thoughts? Moogy (talk) 06:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While it cannot be said that the anime was directly based on the manga, the manga still came first, and is an easier dismabiguation (and less ambiguous) than series; plus, Sola isn't really a 'series' to be exact.--十八 07:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you really want to get technical about it, the Drama CD was released first, but I doubt we're going to do "Sola (Drama CD)".  When it comes right down to it, it's a mixed-media project, designed and written with all the different media in mind (and potentially more to come).  Because it doesn't have a single "source", whichever one you choose is incorrect and potentially ambiguous.  Even picking the original source media seems like a bad convention; the title should clearly indicate what is being discussed, and it isn't primarily the manga here.  In this case, I suppose the most correct term I could think of would be "franchise".  Not sure if that'd catch on, though...  Relentlessflame 22:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't even notice that for the past month the lead specifically calls Sola a series...I do understand your points though, so I guess if you want to move it to Sola (series), I won't stop you.--十八 23:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a PS2 game adapation of the series? Or is the article's inclusion in :Category:PlayStation 2 games a mistake?--SeizureDog 07:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a link in the lead to an AnimeSuki forum which states that a PS2 game is supposed to be created, and yes, I realize that's not a reliable source.--十八 10:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The PS2 game is probably a rumor.  JA Wikipedia doesn't mention it afaik. Moogy (talk) 13:11, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the same person that mentioned the PS2 game also predicted the drama CD release for last August a full 8 months before its release, so I'm willing to bet they are right about the game as well.--十八 21:30, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  PS2 game? 

message: Seeing as we have a dispute as to the title of the page, I'll start. In anime/manga/visual novel articles, it is generally accepted that the first form of the product, the original form in which it was produced, is used as the disambiguation in the article title. In this case, the manga pre-dates all other existing forms of Sola, which is why (manga) was used after Sola in the article title. Furthermore, Sola isn't really a series in the true sense, other than a manga series, and an anime series; those two are series', but Sola as a whole isn't. Not only that, but for the sake of consistency among anime/manga articles, why don't we just go with the established convention of placing the original form of the product as the disambiguation?--十八 04:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page move discussion, round two 

message: It was reported by Yahoo Japan that over 2 million japanese anime fans voted for their favorite anime of 2007, and Sola came out at  first place.
Should this part be added to the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.229.2.86 (talk) 21:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is already mentioned in the lead, and the anime section. Since it's only one sentence, it isn't separated into a Reception section. When the manga eventually gets reviewed by a reliable source, as I assume it will, then it'll go into reception, but for now it's too short to call for a different section.--十八 23:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, the link seems to be dead now. Does anyone have an alternate source? --Remy Suen (talk) 19:51, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I updated it with a link to an English anime news site and ANN.--十八 22:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
