Talk:List of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann secondary characters

message: I've decided to add the post-timeskip previews for each character. With the original pre-timeskip pictures on the left, and the post-timeskip new pictures on the right. I've also decided to make the post-TS pictures have equal width and height, to seperate them from the landscape images and make them easier to create.
Any objections to this? especially considering it could change the layout a bit. It would be good if people could help out by adding new pictures as well, but try to use screenshots.

message: Someone needs to update about why Nia was banished from the Spiral Empire; the reference currently there does not point to anything specific.
I thought it was because she asked the Spiral King why she was made, why she was born. The king promptly discarded her for having "human-like emotions". As far as I remember. 69.248.63.92 20:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some Original Research on this page - I'm not too up-to-date on what is allowed or not, but if anybody could give it a look through and clean it up in terms of Original Research, it would be appreciated.
Also, we need to start getting sources on a lot of the stuff mentioned. this page has NONE!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.248.63.92 (talk • contribs).
:Cleanup? Definitely needed. Original Research? Almost unavoidable right now. This is still a fairly new series and there really aren't any "sources" around at the moment that could be used for character descriptions. I suppose all we can do is just work with what we've got for now... KojieroSaske 09:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I was wondering if it was possible to create a link that directly links to a section on another page. That way, we could put link with each character linking to their personal Gunmen.N-Denizen 15:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Links to Mecha Page 

message: There are a number of images on Gainax's Gurren-Lagann character pages (http://www.gainax.co.jp/anime/gurren-lagann/chara.html).  I can manage the GIMP enough to where I could crop out a head shot.  Should the article use these images as opposed to the screenshots?  There are few of the characters where the images from Gainax's web page are a lot better then the screenshots, in my opinion.  --Transfinite (Talk / Contribs) 03:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, all the images have been removed.  I don't think we're going to be able to get them all back (this has been happening across Wikipedia), but two shouldn't be excessive, so I have restored :Image:G-L - Government.jpg and :Image:Gurren-Lagann - Gurren Brigade Group.jpg, since they aren't "non-free image galleries" --Transfinite (Talk | Contribs) 02:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Sorry. I just had to put these here.
http://img172.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scandf8.jpg - In this scan, there is a cover for the first volume of the manga (which has been running in Dengeki Comic Gao for some time now) and there's English text on it that spells the name of Simon and Kamina's village as "Giha".
http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rittonarexampleyn3.jpg - Fans have been able to but haven't finished putting together the alphabet present in the Gurren-Lagann series. However, even with this slight lack of knowledge, we are still quite able to read a sash that Yoko was wearing in episode 26 in a fantasy where she was "Miss Rittonar". Indeed, the sash reads that, and from that we can get that "Rittonar" is the official English spelling of リットナー. It's also apparent that this one works better than "Ritona", as Ritona would work better for リトナ.
There you have it, the names of the villages are infact officially "Giha" and "Rittonar".
On a sidenote, I'll be putting this same message in the talk pages for the main article and primary character pages, and I will be correcting the names. Just a note, that the names of the characters are written in Western order, and Simon and Yoko don't have last names. Neither would Kamina for that matter, as he died before anybody took up village names as last names. Robtf 09:19, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just an observation, but the name of Yoko's village was pronounced at Litner in the dub; perhaps some sort of note should be made regarding that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberlink420 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

message: What's the source for the claim that they're twins? As far as I know, all that was established was that they were both orphans from Adai around the same age who were usually seen together. --Shay Guy (talk) 03:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
