Talk:Yu (Stargate)

message: It was never revealed if he was killed or seriously wounded in the episode. Besides, with their sarcophagi, they could revive him even from death. Do keep the sentence "presumed deceased" in the article, please until we learn otherwise in an episode.MPaquette 16:44, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * If Yu's name does actually follow the way "Yuhuang Shangdi" is pronounced in Mandarin Chinese, then Yu should not be pronounced "yoo", like the English word "you". Instead, the "u" is to be pronounced like the French "u" or the German "ü" (IPA: [y]). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reverend Distopia (talk • contribs) 22:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm altering this entry because, though I'm not a Stargate fan or expert, as I was looking through this article, I noticed that, in response to the obvious pun on Lord Yu's name with the English "you", someone felt the need to point out that the "u" would be closer to the French pronunciation than the English.  While I'm sure this is true, based on what little I know of Chinese, does it really matter?  Does it in any way contribute to the article?  Yes, I realize that it's in the trivia section, but this isn't really show related trivia--it's linguistics related trivia at best.    I don't think I'll be checking back to see if it has been re-added, but a show of restraint would make this a much better article.  Here's the deleted text:
