Plot or Story Section
Well with a proper infobox and fixed layout this is starting to make its way towar being a proper article. Probably the most important section that we are lacking is a Plot or Story section but as how exatly to approach this I am unsure. Any ideas?

Also on another note we should clean out the plot/story out of the character section unless it is pertinant to the character. Ariolander 11:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

New Characters Added
Decided to add many of the new characters recently elaborated in volume 7. With a new arc on the way these characters will be main players for a significant part of the story to come so they at least deserve a mention. What I got is the down is the basics and they could use real elaborating. At least its a start. Ariolander 23:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Name argument moved from article
This part of the article had some OR and someone else correcting the OR, so I'm moving it here instead:


 * Also note that Jang-Gun (pronounced "Jahng-Guun"), which phonetically means "general" in Korean, has a sister named Chang-Mi (pronounced "Chaang-Me"), which phonetically means "rose" in Korean. Korean names are spelled with the family (last name) in front, and the given name (first name) after the family name. Yet, TokyoPop has mistranslated the names of direct blood relatives'/immediate family members' family name (last name). While they should have logically gone with either "Jang" or "Chang" ("Jang" would be closer phonetically) for both siblings, they inexplicably chose to use two different versions of Romanization for the two siblings' family name (last name).


 * === Name Corrections ===


 * Noticing the above comment mentioning the supposed error in romanization of the Korean names, here is an example of normal name formations.


 * Korea: "Choi Min Ji" & English: "Min Ji Choi."
 * The Surname (or last name) in this instance is "Choi," followed by the first name (or given name) "Min Ji."
 * Korean given names are romanized typically in these 3 ways:
 * "Min Ji" (commonly preferred), "Min-Ji" (normal for foreign use), and "MinJi" (also common in foreign use).


 * Notice that Korean names will nearly always have 3 parts; 1st, the Surname, which is followed by the 2-part given name which accounts for the remaining 2/3.


 * Additionally, unlike in English, the second part of the given name (in this case "Ji") is not in fact a middle name, but, as stated, the 2nd half of the whole first/given name.


 * Thusly, in relation to the above comment, it can be derived that the 2 names, "Jang Gun" and "Chang Mi" are simply the normal, 2-part given names, rather than incorrectly romanized first and last names.

Merge with Yureka
I suggest to merge with Yureka and redirect Yureka to this article H eristo 15:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea done since no opposition. Finally got around to redirecting Yureka under 'R from alternative name' since unnecisary to merge w/ the old article being out of date and unkempt and having to talk page. - Ariolander 06:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Myriahcover.jpg
Image:Myriahcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Article name
The article has been moved to iD_eNTITY, where it should stay. Trying to put the small capital "E" in it makes it show up as nonsense for many users, as that E is some kind of unicode or I-don't-know-what. The "incorrectness" of the name is noted at the top of the article. There are redirects in place to get people using various capitalizations to the article. -- hamu♥hamu ( TALK ) 09:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Tokyopop calls the series iD_eNTITY on its webpage. I can't conceive of a reason to use a lot of fancy tricks to try to make look like the font on a book cover. It's overly cosmetic and unnecessarily un-user friendly. -- hamu♥hamu ( TALK ) 02:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It's not really a fancy trick...it's a perfectly valid character. The problem is that contrary to what I thought, Windows XP doesn't seem to be able to handle it by default. Windows Vista (and surely other modern operating systems) don't have any trouble with it. —Remember the dot (talk) 02:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Windows XP is a modern operating system. The one used on my 1982 Radio Shack TRS-80 is not.  Your little "e" thing does not exist on an English-language keyboard.  It would be helpful if you could explain explain why it's necessary to use a non-standard symbol to emulate a decorative font, when the publisher of the book doesn't even use it and when it is not possible for a regular person using Wikipedia to type in. -- hamu♥hamu  ( TALK ) 02:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * And when you reverted your second move back to the character, you said "we'll have to wait for people to upgrade their operating systems on their own". If I may, I'd like to point out that I cannot upgrade the operating system on the computers I use (one wouldn't meet the minimum requirements even after a hardware upgrade, and the rest are library/friends' computers), and in any case, have no intention of ever upgrading *any* computer to Vista unless it's someone else's computer at their own request, and they provide a copy of Vista, so you could be waiting awhile. — Dino guy  1000  18:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I know. It will be years before the ᴇ character becomes widely supported. —Remember the dot (talk) 01:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
