cancellation

[edit]

I knew it was unpopular but I didnt think it was that unpopular to almost get cancelled ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ 23:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither. Doi's website says that the season with the lowest ratings was actually Stars, but he's not very detailed, so it's hard to say. --Masamage 01:51, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In Defense of SuperS

[edit]

Note this is mostly an American view of the series... the Japanese view isn't really supported on the website. Instead it talks about the American view. In Japan Chibiusa rated in the top ten according to the manga in popularity ever since she showed up, where as Usagi had slipped. Volume 4 puts Sailor Moon at 1, Sailor Venus at 2, Princess Serenity at 3, Sailor Mercury at 4, Sailor Jupiter at 5, Usagi at 6, Ami Mizuno at 7, Luna at 8, Sailor V at 9, Aino Minako at 10 (Volume 7 puts Chibiusa at 1, Sailor Moon second, Neo Queen Serenity third, Sailor Pluto fourth.Usagi Tsukino sixth,)--Hitsuji Kinno 21:05, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"SuperS"

[edit]

According to the Japanese transliteration, this is pronounced "supers", not "super S", and it was under that assumption that I moved the page. Dekimasuよ! 12:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The English text also explicitly agrees with this assertion. Per WP:MOS-TM and my previous move summary, I don't think that this should have been reverted. Dekimasuよ! 12:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I figured that out after reverting. Sorry. I do still believe it counts as CamelCase and is therefore appropriate to leave as it is, though. --Masamage 18:47, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We also have Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Mixed or non-capitalization and WP:MOS-JP#Capitalization of words in Roman script. This is a fairly common issue and the trend is strongly towards removing mixed capitalization. The fact that it is not pronounced as it might seem from the current capitalization is further evidence that it does not "make the trademark more readable", per the reference to CamelCase in WP:MOS-TM to which you refer. If you still disagree with the move, I'll refer this to Wikipedia:Requested moves and we can have a full discussion. Dekimasuよ! 04:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A full discussion would be nice. I don't like it, but I'll abide by consensus. --Masamage 06:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Supers

[edit]

Should we request to move it back? The S is to emphasize the Super, as well as it is part of the title. The reasoning given by the user who requested said it was part of the WP:MOSCAPS and WP:MOS-TM.--Hanaichi 13:55, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to revert it, purely because there was no discussion on this occassion. I can't even find the WP:RM request that was said to back this up, and if there was one, it was done behind our backs. This is not an uncontroversial move, and must be agreed on, or at least brought up, for goodness sakes. --Masamage 17:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is depicted everywhere as "SuperS". Official presentation trumps Manual of Style. JuJube (talk) 21:15, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily; see Kazaa (KaZaA). But in this case there may be an exception. --Masamage 22:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did not end up filing a full request last time and I wasn't involved in moving the page this time... but I still believe that the move was correct. We should just go ahead and create a discussion space and listing at WP:RM. Dekimasuよ! 04:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It was probably listed in the "uncontroversial moves" section at WP:RM and moved on its merits, without the mover checking first to see if the move had been discussed before. Dekimasuよ! 04:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Continued discussion

[edit]

I don't know why the above has to be boxed off, but regardless, if people have more to say they are welcome to do so here. --Masamage 22:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The archiving of a WP:RM discussion after respective the move has been performed is just routine procedure to preserve it for future reference. – Cyrus XIII (talk) 23:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]


@ Neier The Camel Case article wasn't consistent either. If iMac can be argued as Camel case, and thus can stay as camel case, then why can't Abbreviations and acronyms Oulipo which is in that article you cited? The difference? One is a French article and the rest are American and English-based. I kind of see that as culturally-centric. And I would hope that you would dissect my arguments rather than hit below the belt. I find it immature. I was asking for leeway time to simply question the rules properly and not do as previously suggested. Which was to switch it, and then have to switch it again, but rather save us some history and effort and linking by keeping the article as is, until the issue is discussed on page proper.--Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 00:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The difference, I believe, is that there is a separate section in the guideline for trademarks that begin with a lowercase letter; it doesn't actually have to do with the CamelCase article. The article itself does not advocate or deprecate the use of CamelCase. By the way, no history was lost in the move. The amount of work to fix links here is really quite small in comparison with the amount of work that would be required if you do end up changing the guidelines; are we going to move that discussion elsewhere? Dekimasuよ! 06:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Masamage, That title is rediucluous. We're talking something more Akin to iPod. Just 1 oddly capitalized letter. Lego3400: The Sage of Time (talk) 17:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also By doing this someone else could argue that the S series should be moved to Super, or R to romance or rebirth! Lego3400: The Sage of Time (talk) 17:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No they couldn't. Those are abbreviations, and as such a completely different argument. The policies we've been linking are about capitalization in particular. (Someone could argue that SMS should be renamed to Sailor Moon Super on the basis that that's the official pronunciation (per the eyecatches), but that would be way too confusing since it's not written that way--and as stated above, we're generally obliged to follow official spellings (ie. "Super" as "S"), but not necessarily official capitalizations ("Supers" as "SuperS"). Also, your suggestion that SMR could be threatened is patently ridiculous, since it stands for two different words and is pronounced as the letter R in the eyecatches. --Masamage 21:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, the "Supers" spelling, consistent across all the articles, is making all the articles unstable - people keep on fixing it back to SuperS. -Malkinann (talk) 09:35, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That worries me, too. --Masamage 21:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The obvious way to deal with this instability, is by directing these people towards the consensus established on this talk page and politely ask them to maintain consistency throughout all articles per the lead paragraph of WP:MOS. – Cyrus XIII (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but most of the people doing it are unlikely to be deeply involved with Wikipedia (or to have...any idea). So far it's mostly anons, as far as I've noticed. --Masamage 03:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is why I was concerned with the common usage of the title. Many see it as SuperS, not Supers. We can't exactly tell hundreds of anons to go here, see this consensus, please understand why we are different from the rest of million fan sites and official sites and expect them to accept it.--Hanaichi 09:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One of them was me! Gomen for that <_<. Hana has a point though. SuperS is more common then Supers. Lego3400: The Sage of Time (talk) 16:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True Order

[edit]

I'm confused on the true order of the second half of the season. Wikipedia has the English airdates different from what TV.com and a few other sites have, so what is the true order? ---Shadow (talk) 08:40, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The SuperS Specials

[edit]

Should the three SuperS special episodes (←scroll down to "The SuperS Specials") be mentioned here (or somewhere else)? They aired between ep. #131 and #132 and started in the show's regular time slot, but are otherwise independent of the 4th season, plot-continuity-wise. --Keith111 (talk) 04:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A few months have passed without an objection, so I will go ahead and add them. The specials are also discussed on a work-in-progress page that was started in December 2007 but is still incomplete as of March 2010:

Wikipedia:WikiProject Sailor Moon/Sailor Moon side stories

It turned up in a Google search when I was looking for an IMDb ref for the original air date. --Keith111 (talk) 04:09, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

[edit]

Hitoshi Doi:

Megumi said, "Is there anything else?"

Kotono said, "No."

Megumi said, "It became Supers."

Kotono said, "Yes."

Megumi said, "The enemy is very funny. I was very surprised when I saw it on TV. Why are all the enemy gay!? I don't understand!"

Kotono said, "Until now all of the enemy had been girls, and we were saying that it might be more sexy with guys. But then they were gay.."

Megumi said, "This is the leading edge TV program in the world. This is the program that all the kids watch. I was surprised. I spit out the potato chips all over! It has Okiayu-kun.."

Kotono said, "Furukawa Toshio-san, and Ishida Akira-kun."

Megumi said, "It's going to be interesting to watch what happens to Sailor Moon."

List of Sailor Moon Super S episodesList of Sailor Moon SuperS episodes – This is the correct name and stylisation of the fourth series of the anime. It is not "Super S" and never was. Isn't the entire point of Wikipedia to give the correct information? 118.208.198.157 (talk) 13:40, 3 February 2017 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 11:51, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I said, it is confusing ? Anyway, it looks that Supers has a point. --Robertiki (talk) 19:40, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
