Talk:Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers

message: I don't know about you guys, but I'm kinda...horrified that the article for a popular and great show could be so...sloppy?  Most articles for Anime I've seen have sections for plot and other things taking up most space.  Here, however, the characters, many whom have their own pages, take up nearly the entire article.  I can't do anything right now, as I'm about to leave, but when I get back I'm going to see what I can do to help.  Anyone else willing?  AsunaNegi 11:36, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: So it's really going to be 26 episodes long? That's great to hear, seeing the once-again expanded cast would be difficult to fully flesh out in a mere 12 episode season. Wererat42 06:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any particular reason the character names were changed back to the non-official spellings? DarkMorford 15:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think so. My interpretation was that someone saw those names, didn't care check the history and reverted the spellings. Though Tiana did get changed back to official spelling of Teana, Fate's article uses the official spelling of "Harlaown" while Chrono's article doesn't even though the entry uses the official spelling for it's title. Feel free to change them to the official spellings and leave a message for the person who reverted them. Robtf 12:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hate to stir the pot, but which names are official? Ones from the show or ones from the show's website? They're similar at best. The most apparent example is the orange-haired girl, who is named "Teana Lanster" on the website but "Tiana Lanceter" in the show's opening theme (look closely). The opening also names Subaru's device as "Mach Cariber", and Fate's name is given as "Fate T Harloun" (I'll admit it's hard to read, but there's definitely no "w" in there). I see someone left a note in the article mentioning the discrepancy in Tiana/Teana's first name, but it looks like you guys missed the other two. While I'm no particular fan of the endless Nanoha naming debates, this has to be resolved carefully (and the quicker the better, before others notice the same things I did and bring the war on full-force). If we're going to keep this stuff orderly (well, relatively, anyway, as I imagine there's always people coming in and changing names on a whim if only just because they don't know any better) then we can't leave things as they are. 70.118.112.83 03:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a tough one. Since their both really primary sources, it's difficult to say for certain. However, if you go by the heavily supported fan theory that the names are based on cars, you get something like this  which spells out which names are based on which cars, references that only work using the website spelling. Eg, Teana is from the Nissan Teana, so Tiana wouldn't work. It's possible that the staff working on the opening credits weren't aware of the references and went with more phonetical spellings. Of course, that's just theory unless we can source an official statement that supports it. -Omnisentry 04:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Names changed back? 

message: I'd just like to bring to attention that Flight Lieutenant is an Air Force rank used in Britain's Air Force and in the Air Forces of some of the other countries in the Commonwealth of Nations. It's equivalent in the American Air Force is Captain, and I'd think that since the English Wikipedia is probably primarily read by Americans, it'd be much more natural for us to call her "Captain Nanoha Takamachi" and not "Flight Lieutenant Nanoha Takamachi". --Robtf 14:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a tricky path changing something like that simply because it would sound better to Americans. Wikipedia is very international, personally, I'm Australian. However, I support the change to Captain as it harmonizes it with Military ranks and insignia of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, which lists Captain in the Air Self-Defense Force for Nanohas rank of 一等空尉. - Omnisentry 01:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Flight Lieutenant" 

message: I have seen some people spell it "Elio". I don't know how common this is, so I'll leave this issue for the anime fans of Wikipedia to discuss Jon Fawkes 03:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We seem to have made a consensus about using the names from the official website due to the way that only using those spelling can the car references be made. The website lists "Erio", so there we have it, even though a lot of people are using "Elio" as it just seems more... Englishified? I think it uses Elio in the OP as well, although we don't view that as official due to non-conformity with the website and the car references. -Omnisentry 05:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, thank you for clarifying, Omnisentry Jon Fawkes 00:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erio's name (Elio?) 

message: According to  Caro's profile on the official website, she comes from 第６管理世界 アルザス地方少数民族「ル・ルシエ」 (The "Ru Lushe" people of the Arzas Region of the 6th Administrated World). So "Lushe Clan" is incorrect, the name of her "clan" is "Ru Lushe".Robtf 03:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Just a heads up that a recent discussion determined that DearS is an ok title: Talk:DearS#Requested_move_3. Perhaps it's time to revisit this one as well? I haven't done much research on this, but the case seems similar. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  18:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The uppercase 'S' at the end is purely stylistic. Also, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers is simply a title instead of a trademark. So normal capitalization rules for titles should be followed. —Farix (t | c) 19:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
