Gate of time
is it true that there are to sailor plutos one garding the gates of time and one with the other sailors?
 * Ummm, No They are the same person... --Lego3400 22:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I've actually wondered about this, too. My current understanding is that they are the same person, but from different parts of her life, and they coexist due to time travel. If someone can clear this up further I'd appreciate it! --Masamage 20:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * From what I gather the "gates of time" are actually not themselves in the time stream. Thus, by having been at the gates at any given moment, she is always there.  Also, I would like to take a second here to officially declare a pox on the IAU ;-P  Shador5529 15:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Down with the IAU! --Cyberman 14:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to declare an über-pox!!! --SaturnYoshi 14:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Foreign names really needed?
Please discuss here whether to include foreign names when they do not match the english name. Thanks. -- ReyBrujo 03:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Princesses Article
Just so you all know, I've made a new article at Princesses (Sailor Moon). The merge notices are gone now, because that group of stubs has been cleared up. Now that it's done, please feel free to edit and cite to your heart's content! ^_^ -Masamage 20:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Consistency
This article is being edited for consistency with the Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino articles, as part of the new WikiProject, and as discussed in Talk:Sailor Moon. Stay tuned! --Masamage 18:54, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Mostly done, as are Haruka Tenoh and Michiru Kaioh. I'm still planning on rewriting the 'Profile' and 'Variations' sections, but will take something of a break first.


 * The Outer Senshi profiles really need new lead images. If you check out the Inners bios, they all match; we're looking for a set with that kind of consistancy and quality, if it's at all possible. Please look around! --Masamage 19:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Controversy Related to Pluto's Planetary Status
I removed this from the article:

''On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union declared that Pluto itself was no longer a planet, but may be as yet considered a plutonian object, a dwarf planet, or some other Kuiper Belt object. Official production of Sailor Moon had ended well before that date and will probably not be affected by this decision. However, it is likely that any future incarnations including Sailor Pluto, even if only in fan fiction will have to find ways to address this controversy to maintain consistency of most of the Sailor Senshi being named for planets, with exceptions for Sailor Moon herself, Chibiusa, and ChibiChibi.''

I'm sorry, but I really don't think it belongs here. Let's discuss, though. --Masamage 16:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I am the one who added the section. Please give a reason before you delete an edit which is in fact relevant given that many fans are curious about this event's effect on the character.  Because this character had so much prominence in the series, she was named after a *planet*, so it does matter whether or not Pluto is now considered a planet, even if the canon does not change.  Fan discussions and fan fiction do change, so it is an issue.  If someone cannot cite a legitimate reason not to include it by the end of the day, I'm putting it back up. Lothar76 17:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Replying at bottom so this doesn't get confusing. --Masamage 19:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * See, I think it does deserve mention. Perhaps I am way too much of a fanboi, but this was the first thing I thought of when I read about the IAU decision. (Actually, it was: "Those expletive fools.  They've just expletived up Sailormoon.")  Shador5529 17:38, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * They didn't, though. Check your DVDs; she's still in there. If celestial objects like Phobos, Deimos, Mau, Chū, Mermaid, Coronis, Cocoon, etc. etc. etc. get to have Senshi, Pluto gets to have a Senshi. That's all there is to it. --Masamage 17:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The controversy isn't over whether Setsuna Meioh is a senshi, but the status of "Pluto" as a marker of a significant senshi in the SM universe when Pluto is no longer a planet. Someone that important wasn't meant to be named after a dwarf planet.  It should at least be acknowleged, if nothing else with a "It doesn't matter for the canon, but it does for fandom discourse" notation.  Moreover, check out her stats on the entry; she no longer has a "guardian planet", so that alone deserves some extra explanation. Lothar76 18:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Sailor Moon wasn't named after a planet. Sailor Chibi Moon wasn't named after anything celestial at all. As for the fandom bit, please visit WikiProject Sailor Moon, where we have a goal of abolishing fandom from the articles. It is not researched, and therefore not encyclopedic. Also, see my more detailed response to Lothar below. My only other comment is that Usagi Tsukino's article lists her "Guardian Planet" as the moon. In Japanese, "planet" and "star" are usually the same word; it just means a celestial object. If you have a suggestion for a better name for that stats field, that would be great! --Masamage 19:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * See comments below. Lothar76 20:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The IAU probably just never got together in the sailormoon universe to demote Pluto. LOL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.100.72.78 (talk • contribs)


 * I'd buy that, haha. The thing is that many of the other smaller object do in fact have Senshi--for example, Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Juno. So I don't think it's at all weird that Pluto has one. I think her being part of the Sailor Team is probably just 'cause she's so freakin' powerful, what with controlling time and all. --Masamage 16:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Where the heck did you find Sailors Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Juno. That sounds vaguely reminiscent of the Amazoness Quartet, but I thought they just became ordinary humans after they quit working for Queen Nehelenia, not Senshi.  And if they did become Senshi, where were they in Stars?  Of, course it's been a while since I saw the series, so maybe watching it again would help.  Or is this a Manga only thing? Shador5529 17:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It is a manga thing. Amazoness Quartet has a picture right at the top; they're the guardians of Sailor Chibi Moon. They don't stick around, though; I'm not sure where they end up. --Masamage 17:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Reply to Lothar76: Actually, moving it here and starting a discussion is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in these situations. Please do not get upset with me. For one thing, Wikipedia is intended to be a repository of published information. This "controversial" association between the IAU and Sailor Moon is original research.

Your statement "any future incarnations including Sailor Pluto, even if only in fan fiction will have to find ways to address this controversy" is an unsubstantiated matter of opinion--this is a work of fiction. At the time of the Silver Millennium, Pluto obviously had not been discovered by Earth scientists. The obvious in-universe explanation is that Senshi classify planets some other way.

Much more importantly, note my two responses to Shador5529 above. But let me be even clearer. Of the 35 characters I can think of whose names start with 'Sailor'--(from the anime and manga; I'm not even counting Sailor Pewter Fox, Sailor Luna, etc.)--only eight are named after planets that have ever been in the official Solar System. That alone makes this paragraph inappropriate, because your summary of the "controversy" is "most of the Sailor Senshi being named for planets."

I'm sorry that my disagreement bothers you, and I hope you'll forgive me and remember we all want Wikipedia to be at its best.--Masamage 19:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't take offense to my addition meriting discussion, but deleting it and *then* discussing it I do. It should have been left alone, then discussed, and then a consensus decision should have been made about it.  This is essentially declaring it guilty and then having a trial, putting the addition at an unfair disadvantage.


 * Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon are obvious exceptions to the rule of naming planets after significant senshi - they're the main protagonists and stand apart from the rest of the senshi, and are named after Earth's natural satellite. The moon is closer than the planets, it's bigger and brighter in the sky, and therefore it holds a much more special place in fiction, including Sailor Moon, than the planets - and by far more significance than a dwarf planet.


 * And why abolish fandom from the articles when fandom discourse has a direct bearing on how anime characters, events, and themes are perceived? I'm not suggesting that fandom opinions are research in their own right.  However, completely ignoring fans' interpretations of concepts in anime in the articles short-changes the chance to make the articles more comprehensive insofar as they address the very thing that makes these entries significant enough to be deserving of their own Wikipedia entry in the first place - the fans' recognition of them as important.  Fandom-made meanings of in what way these topics are important are germane to the topics, significantly so as to be deservedly included in anime-related Wikipedia articles.


 * If one wants to be accurate, yes, change "Guardian Planet" to "Guardian Celestial Object" in the stats field. It makes sense for Sailor Moon because "Guardian Planet: Moon" can be brushed aside since everyone *knows* that the moon isn't really a planet, but when it says "Guardian Planet: Pluto", then it's going to cause controversy.  So again, I would change it to "Guardian Celestial Object".


 * Also, I still think that this article should make a mention of the IAU's decision and its relationship to the character since people are talking about it on Slashdot and SomethingAwful. Not only is it of interest, but years from now when new fans are getting into the series and they see that there's a "Sailor Pluto", that's going to cause confusion for them.  Why name a significant Sailor Senshi after a non-planet, they'll rightfully ask.  I want the article to provide a possible answer.


 * What matters is not the universe of the senshi, but the fact that Takeuchi Naoko was referencing the known planets of the time to give names to the significant sailor senshi who were not Sailor Moon or Chibi Moon. This has changed, and it should be addressed.  If Pluto had not been considered a planet when Naoko was releasing the series, then it is very likely that the plot would be different in some way since it is obvious that Naoko was trying to be consistent with the officially-recognized planets of the 1990s.  "Sailor Pluto" would not have existed (this is not opinion, it's well-founded inference), either in name (She might have been called "Mistress of the Gates of Time" or some equivalent name) or in the actual existence of the character herself.  Bottom line - the IAU's decision has to be addressed in this article in some way because the whole point of Naoko calling her "Sailor Pluto" was that Pluto was officially considered a planet by the IAU at the time. Lothar76 20:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I understand your frustration, as I had someone remove an article of mine without allowing for discussion. However, moving things to the talk page (especially when you find them dubious) is pretty well accepted Wikipedia practice. Each edit page says, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly ... do not submit it." As a deeply-involved member of the WikiProject I removed it because it seemed genuinely inconsistent and out-of-place; that's what editors are supposed to do. However, seeing its merit, I brought it here to talk about. That's normal.


 * Anyway, your points good, and I'm even moving toward agreeing with you, but you don't address the fact that only a fifth of the existing senshi are named for "official" planets. None of them have explanatory notes. Give me a satisfactory reason why she's an acception, and I'll happily agree to working it in. (Not in its own subsection; getting the profiles consistent has been a lot of work. Maybe a brief mention under her senshi alias.) And no extra stuff about future versions "having" to conform to the decision, because they don't.


 * Pluto is an exception because the IAU's decision is a recent and significant change in the way that the Solar System from which the senshi derive their names is perceived. The other non-planetary senshi's names are accepted nomenclature because they are not as significant as the pre-2006 planetary senshi in the SM plot, and it is therefore acceptable to have them named after lesser bodies.  Sailor Pluto, however, has been a more significant character, but her namesake, which was important in the Solar System, is now less important because of the IAU decision, but her own importance is not diminished.  However, others, particularly newer fans, could *perceive* her importance as having been diminished because of the lesser classification of Pluto by the IAU. Lothar76 21:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, fan culture is important and does have its place in Wikipedia, but to a certain degree. Yuri doujinshi pairings, for example, might belong in an article about yuri doujinshi, but were removed from all the Inner Senshi articles. However, your mention that people are in fact talking about this online, in specific places, makes me feel much better about including a mention. It's a source I didn't know about.


 * In fact... Now that I'm talking and thinking about it, maybe you are right. You don't need to give me an answer to my thing in the first paragraph, because I just thought of one: she's referred to in canon as being among the "senshi of the outer solar system"--solar system being a pretty specific phrase. So I guess that kinda settles it for me.


 * Okay then! I think I've found a place where a mention would be both appropriate and discreet... It's worth a try. Thanks for putting up with me.


 * Actually, thank you for putting up with me. I'm the one who's original entry expanded this Talk page by about 4X. Lothar76 21:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The "Guardian planet" thing will have to get consensus, though, since that's an in-universe term. Try the WikiProject talk page. --Masamage 21:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Let us not forget that Sailor Moon is a fantasy-based story and events in the "real world" have little or no bearing on the plot. As I recall, it was once stated in Sailor Moon that the Solar System had a tenth planet named Nemesis.  Obviously no such body exists.  Also, the terms "planet" and "star" and such clearly have different meanings in the US, but in Japan, they pretty much mean the same, "Heavenly Body".  Pluto (the object) being a major Heavenly Body of the Solar System is what granted it a Senshi, not the fact that it was a "planet".  Besides, fanfics and such are not official works and aren't relevant to the articles.  You can find a ton of stories about "Sailor Earth", but that doesn't mean she should get her own article.  --SaturnYoshi 21:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * All true. ^^ In their version of the world, the Sailor Senshi probably trump the IAU. --Masamage 21:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Not so fast. There might have been a Planet Nemesis, but was there a significant Sailor Senshi named after it?  I don't recall one, so the fact that there was a planet called Nemesis isn't relevant to this.  Further, Pluto is no longer a "major Heavenly Body of the Solar System" thanks to the IAU's decision.  Therefore, questions will invariably come up as to why a significant senshi was named after a non-planet.


 * On a less germane note, just because something isn't official doesn't mean that it's not deserving of inclusion in an article. Articles should address information that is relevant to a topic, and fandom perception of a character or series shapes what sense is made of that character or series in addition to the "official information".  I'm not saying that all future articles should include fandom-specific information, but dismissing fandom out-of-hand is not wise.  For what it's worth, if "Sailor Earth" is a well-recognized figure in fan fiction, why shouldn't she get her own article?  Lothar76 21:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Like I said, Sailor Moon is a fantasy-based story. In it's world, Pluto is considered a planet.  --SaturnYoshi 21:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The fantasy-based story wouldn't have considered Pluto to be a planet if Pluto wasn't an IAU-denominated planet in our world c. 1994. It was written by a real-world author, after all.  Lothar76 21:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, then where in the IAU does it say that Kinmoku, Mau and all the places that the Animamates come from are planets. Since all Senshi are named after planets based on their definition (which will most likely change again in the future).  --SaturnYoshi 22:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, going for a 3rd edit of this page since I keep getting caught by dual edits; ugh. Anyway, the Animates aren't as significant as the the senshi named after the pre-2006 planets, so it doesn't matter that they're not named after planets. Lothar76 22:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * True, no good editor dismisses fandom out-of-hand--only fandom that is original research. Everything here must be illuminating, and must be defensible with a reliable, published source, or it is removed. That's Wikipedia policy. Anyway, this discussion is now incapable of accomplishing anything further as regards Sailor Pluto; the article has been changed. I suggest wrapping it up. --Masamage 21:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Sailor Pluto is included among the major planetary senshi because, until August 2006, Pluto was considered the ninth planet in the solar system. How the Sailor Senshi might classify planets is unknown.


 * Okay, this looks good. It's an acknowlegement, factual, and to the point; thank you!  Incidentally, if Wikipedia is supposed to be able to be edited by anybody, how is it that you or whatever group you represent gets a "say so" on the way that SM-related entries appear?  Lothar76 22:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * We don't. Do you disagree that they should be consistent? --Masamage 22:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * More useful, less snarky answer: Wikipedia works by consensus, and WikiProjects are places where you can work on getting a consensus without the discussion being spread across a hundred talk pages at once. The way the articles look now is the way people have agreed is a good starting-point; they'll be expanded once they all match. This discussion has been going on for some time. You're entirely welcome to participate in the project, of course. --Masamage 22:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

POV
Sailor Pluto is often regarded as the most beautiful of the Sailor Senshi, especially among japanese fans.

-Seems a rather POVish comment without any reference to back it up, so I removed it. Besides, we all know Sailor Jupiter is the hottest :P Shador5529 17:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree; you beat me to removing it. ^^ It's original research. I don't think anyone can decided who's the prettiest; I've tried, and it doesn't work. o.o Neptune! Mars! Mercury! Uranus, even! --Masamage 18:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Setsuna loving Endymion
Oh, is that where that fan-meme came from! I always wondered; thanks, Malkinann! Do you happen to know which musical(s)? Can we get a source? --Masamage 01:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I've got no source better than the Wikimoon Sera Myu page, and Mamoru's page on this wiki. :( (And I *have* looked... Guess there's no Sera Myu Pluto/Endymion shippers?)  Maybe once Xuanwu starts work on the Sera Myu, he could perhaps provide specific cites? -Malkinann 10:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I asked them about it. --Masamage 16:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Got a response! Rosen says, "It was in two musicals, Eien Densetsu and Shin Densetsu Kourin (plus their kaiteibans). Specifically, it's in connection to the song Onna no Ronsou (after Pluto saves Beryl because she understands her), though she does makes a snide remark or two about Beryl's inability to handle unrequited love elsewhere in the stories." --Masamage 21:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Yay for wikimoon! :D But now, how to cite a musical... ??? Onna no Ronsou lyrics - the way the lyrics are worded, it seems that we'll have to explain that Beryl loved Endymion before the song makes sense.- Malkinann 07:36, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It's probably in the dialogue around that song...? I think we can just list the musical itself as our source. --Masamage 07:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Image
The image should be the same for the Outers across the board. Any ideas? --Hitsuji Kinno 16:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

"Plu"
Does Chibiusa call Pluto this? I thought it was just Puu. A dub thing, maybe? --Masamage 18:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The subtitles translated it as "Plu". - Saturn  Yoshi  THE VOICES 19:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, you're right... But...does that matter? --Masamage 19:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. It was probably just a way of westernizing it.  In Japanese, her name would be spelled something like "Puruto", so "Puu" wouldn't make sense in English because there is no "u" after the "P".  - Saturn  Yoshi  THE VOICES 20:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking of removing it, but the way it is in the box actually doesn't look bad. So unless it's driving anyone nuts, it probably won't hurt to leave it alone. Thanks for the clarification. ^^ --Masamage 20:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * And the actual dub version screwed it up by having Rini refer to Sailor Pluto as "Luna P". - Saturn  Yoshi  THE VOICES 21:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

"Setsuna Meioh is not her real name..."

 * Wasn't there a debate about whether the Sailor Pluto seen in the R season was actually Setsuna Meioh? Danny Lilithborne 00:52, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't understand this aspect of the series at all, and I really wish I did. --Masamage 04:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * That was fan speculation... can't make it to the page since it's considered a hot topic. Would have to be asked of the creator, Takeuchi. Mainly, I think the debate is a spillover from the manga. Setsuna in the manga did grow taller, not in the anime and her hairstyle *slightly* changed the bun was lowered). Chibiusa noted these changes in I think Volume 7. Hwever it's not clear if it's a different person--I'm under the impression that it's not due to what she says about Neo-Queen Serenity bringing her back which another person wouldn't know about. --Hitsuji Kinno 08:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * So are they from different time periods? How can Setsuna be around on Earth at the same time that Sailor Pluto is guarding the Time Gate? (Also, why is she guarding the Gate? Was she in trouble for something?) --Masamage 20:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Guarding the gate is her mission as the solitary soldier. She has done so since the Silver Millennium.  After she died in the manga, she was reborn in the past (present day for the other senshi) so due to the time stream, she existed as both Sailor Pluto in the future and as "Setsuna Pluto" in the present.  It's bit of a paradox, and because of her manipulation of time both "Setsuna Pluto" and Sailor Pluto knows everything that the other knows.  - Saturn  Yoshi  THE VOICES 02:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I still don't understand. I thought that during the Silver Millennium she guarded the solar system with Uranus and Neptune.
 * I think you're saying that the Sailor Pluto at the Time Gate in the Black Moon arc is the Pluto of the 30th century? And when she dies (for stopping time?) she's reborn in the 20th century as Setsuna? Which would mean there are two of her during the 30th century... --Masamage 04:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * The manga shows a young Sailor Pluto taking on the responsibilities of guarding the time gate. It was the original Queen Serenity who told her of the three taboos.  There could very well have been two Plutos existing at one point in time, but perhaps they merged together sometime during the "Great Cataclysm" that struck the Earth before Crystal Tokyo was formed, or at another point.  - Saturn  Yoshi  THE VOICES 08:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * The timeline goes something like this: In the Silver Millennium, Queen Serenity gave powers and rules to Sailor Pluto. Sailor Pluto stayed in the time stream until about the Crystal Tokyo. (She briefly left to experience the destruction of the Moon Kingdom with Saturn). She stopped time and died in the future. She literally died as was said. Then Neo Queen Serenity being kind, allowed her to be reincarnated into the past as a relatively new person... She was taller with a lower bun on her head, and had the same form, but was considered physically stronger. So she's existing in conjunction with herself, however, since the time gate is kind of out of time in lore (as said about dimensions, etc), she can't conflict with herself. That means that at some point 20-century Setsuna will have to go to the future from when she left so she doesn't overlap with herself and confuse Chibiusa/ Small Lady. Does that make more sense? I'd like to include a bit about her history... but references come first. --Hitsuji Kinno 22:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * So the time gate exists outside the flow of time. She was guarding that door for several thousands of years before she had any contact with anyone.  Namely Chibiusa in the 30th century.  Solitary Soldier, indeed.  - Saturn  Yoshi  THE VOICES 01:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * So she doesn't die with the Silver Millennium? --Masamage 03:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I guess not. She must have sealed herself in the fourth-dimension. The time gate would have been vulnerable otherwise. - Saturn Yoshi  THE VOICES 09:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's right, so she didn't die with the Silver Millennium like everyone else (manga, BTW). She must have escaped it somehow, even though she's shown gathered with Uranus and Neptune. If you would like fan speculation, you could surmise that she stayed in the time-space dimension and invariably learned her lesson to not even peak outside of it until Small Lady accidentally found her. But her time will be up once the time for the 30th century is coming because Small Lady will have to be born and technically if she doesn't return to the same spot and time, no one will be guarding the door. This would be a bad thing... --Hitsuji Kinno 19:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Referencing
I'm experiencing burnout... I'm pushing this page for later since it needs lots of clean up in addition to the stats. I want to separate the manga and anime from each other, and cite references for the facts presented that would not be widely known by a casual fan and would want to do fact check up. I'll try to keep all the facts, but some organization does need to be done. --Hitsuji Kinno 08:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Added stats
I added the stats, and referencing. I'm missing one reference for sure, that's the Soldier of Change reference. I can't remember where I got it from. =P. Since she doesn't have a favorite animal, Japanese clubs, etc anything that's blank I left out. I took out the appropriate attributes too. This is not an edit to the general page. So I'd appreciate it if someone would help with the references. I think the garnet image stone thing came from the Materials Collection, but I'm not sure. I need someone to verify for me... two more to go.--Hitsuji Kinno 04:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to be in the Materials Collection, and it's not her birthstone. Must be somewhere else.
 * Ganbatte! --Masamage 05:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I finished referencing clubs and soldier titles. =P So meticulous to do that *should be doing Nanowrimo* The gemstones, I'm still not sure where I got them from, maybe Ken Aromdee's FAQ, but even then, we'd have to know where *he* got them from, and so on until we get a primary source. I'm fairly sure I saw it somewhere because I was insane back then. After this, it's profile cleaning to make sure the manga, anime, live action, musicals and whatever else are separated and things that need to be referenced are referenced. Then add a few spare supporting quotes for critical things like Haruka having traits of both genders in the manga, Sailor Pluto's history support (like the quote from Chibiusa) and maybe a few little throw away quotes from the Materials Collection (for example, Seiya said to be made up of Haruka and Mamoru). Roughly in that order... I hope the attack stuff is sorted by then so we can get an upgrade on the grades... ^_^ We already have 20+ references for Ami-chan and a bit of a commentary on her popularity in Japan (need a reference) so it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask what else we need to make the article go to GA level.--Hitsuji Kinno 08:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
