Re: Wiki Boot Camp -- For the Noobs

and then make a definitive list of every "Fan Service moment" in Neon Genesis Evangelion Good tutorial, but that part is simply undoable. There is no exact definition for fan service and therefore what counts as fan service varies from person to person. So, instead of a "definitive l...

I for one am eager to avoid the tiresome wall of text present on Wiki's like Memory Alpha, when every detail, no matter how minor or banal is mentioned at length. The wiki should be informative and succinct , and only material worthy of mention should be included. OH GOD YES. If we're going...

Re: Eva Unit name standard?

I think using an all-caps “EVA” is garish (it’s not an acronym) Official abbreviation use in the show itself is "EVA-01". Personally, I think that really is garish, so "Eva-01" (with the hyphen) looks like the best choice. I think so too, but Reichu really likes ...

This wouldn't fit well with the overall ethos of the Wiki. Our information, were possible, is supposed to be very solid. We honestly can't point to anything concrete in the show that marks any of the Angels out as one sex or the other. True. We can use that made-up gender list in the Commen...

The purpose of an encyclopedia is not to be "concise" like a pamphlet (otherwise we'd take the red cross book and call it a day) ; encyclopedias are supposed to supply an EXHAUSIVE amount of information, until "nothing further be said". Regarding the exhaustiveness o...

Oh, hi V, and welcome aboard! We clearly need someone energetic like you to keep kicking us toward glory. A little request, though: could you please start using the quote tags when citing someone else's words, because as they are now your posts are kind of difficult to read. Or, option 2: do wha...

Sorry for the pointless comments: they simply result from the nature of the commentary-Wiki-interaction still being rather unclear to me. For example, let's say the "barons of hell" misconception is brought up in the commentary main, accompanied with a "for further info, click her...

As a result, I make the tentative suggestion that Japanese name order is maintained in character dialogue (the script and citations thereof), but swapped in our own writing. This may create some confusion, but it's the best option, in my opinion. Supported. Different text functions, dif...

Anyone else can sign up by either PMing me their username and email address, or by posting them in this thread if that's too much bother. PM'd. I'm going to have to get used to the system eventually, anyway. Does that make an iota of sense? I dreaded making this post because I knew it w...

Re: The Wiki Thread (General)

As you can see, there's a lot of work to de done. (Not least of which is the theme and logo). I think the wiki has a lot of potential to a) host the commentary itself, and b) give evangelion, and the community, the wiki it richly deserves. As far as I know, at least one "ge...
