Talk:List of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing characters

message: Well, I known that she's Thai girl. It's interesting that her name might be inspired by classic Thai actor Krung Sriwilai (it's a guy's name, though I saw it used by girl as well). Even more weird, Ponlamaai mean fruit.L-Zwei 16:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Because we now have an own site with all the characters from Gundam Wing, we should remove them from the main article and merge them with this site. Diabound00 07:38, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Characters from the main Gundam Wing article 

message: I've never heard of "Gundam Wing Sidestory: A Scythe in My Right Hand, You in My Left" and a Google search reveals no signs of it. It's not listed as part of the Gundam canon anywhere that I have seen. Could it be a fan-made piece? Has anyone seen any evidence of it? If not, the references should be removed.

thread_title:  Questionable: Scythe in my right...  

message: Reasons
* The notation is not standard
* It is too much of a bulleted list
* Contains far too much unnecessary or unrelated information.  Either split or reduce.
* Very difficult to read
In my opinion the article is closer to Start class than B.

thread_title:  wikify 

message: Aside from most of the stars, a lot of the characters don't have the voice actors listed next to them. According to tv.com, the only other source that bothers to give us this information, the voices are: 
*Ward Perry as Abdul, Marquise Weridge, Otto, and Howard
*Michael Dobson as Darlian, Duke Dermail (though some say it's Jim Byrnes), Attah, Commander Bonaparte, Mr. Winner, and Colonel Bunte
*Paul Dobson as Nichol, Noventa, Rashid, and Inspector Acht
*Richard Newman as Tsubarov
*David Mackay as Doktor S, Trant Clark, and Quinze
*Don Brown as Walker, Miser, and Sedichi (Walker was even mentioned by Treize 45 episodes after his death and 44 after his last mention)
*Brian Drummond as Professor G (we all know his more prominent role though so I won't bother saying it here)
*Mark Hildreth as General Ventei (again, we know the bigger role he plays and it's already listed)
It didn't say anything about Alex, Muller, Iria, or General Septum 24.65.123.9 (talk) 05:00, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Because the editors citing references for this article did not bother to use proper citation formatting, all references suffered from extreme linkrot and are now completely unverifiable.  Because the majority of the refs all pointed to the same fansite (which is generally not considered a valid source) and that fansite is no more, this article is now effectively unsourced.  Unsourced information can be challenged and removed.  Please find valid, reliable, verifiable third party information to support this article, or it may become subject to nomination for deletion.

thread_title:  Linkrot always comes back to haunt you: this article is now unsourced 

message: This, from one of the "references":
:It is stated that the Gundam Pilots' names originate from numbers 1-5 (apart from Heero, whose codename is related to a colonial peacekeeper in the story). Hiiro could be derived from the Japanese word hito which can mean one. Duo is a modern spelling of the Latin dvo meaning two, a partner. Quatre is French for four and Wu in Wufei is the pronunciation of five (五) in Chinese, and the Chinese translation of his name is 五飛, meaning Five Fly. If this is true, it would also be reasonable for Trowa to originally be Triton, as Triton consists of one proton and two neutrons, three together, suggesting Trowa to be number three (trois [trwa] in French).
This is blatant OR; the person who concocted it is really reaching to make connections between unconnected things, and admits it.  In addition, the statement "(apart from Heero, whose codename is related to a colonial peacekeeper in the story)" is immediately contradicted by the next sentence, "Hiiro could be derived from the Japanese word hito which can mean one."  You can't have it both ways, either the character name is not a number or it is.  The phrases, "It is stated," "If this is true," and "it would...be reasonable" are blatant weasel words.  It is not "reasonable" by any understanding of etymology to suggest a relationship or common meaning between the invented word "trowa" and the Greek word "Triton".  The editor clearly does not even understand what Triton is, a pretty grave sin since Wikipedia has an entire disambiguation page devoted to the word, and none of the entries on that page has anything to do with an object that consists solely of "one proton and two neutrons".  The only thing that remotely matches this description is tritium, which has a nucleus consisting of one proton and two neutrons, but no atom consists only of a nucleus.
Because this entire passage is unsourced subjective rationalization that proves nothing at all, I am challenging it and removing it from the article. Canonblack (talk) 23:27, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
