Does "Shi" mean death?
Yes. Given many references in the Battletech universe to the 'shi' particle as death. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 161.253.23.172 (talk) 05:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC).


 * Its not actually a question mark - it is the Japanese character for Death. Without language support it turns appear as a ?. (Emperor 01:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC))

Formatting and removal of content
To, I have reverted the changes you most recently made to this article. I'm not sure why, but you have removed the standard Wikipedia formatting from the article (bolding of subject title, internal links to relevant articles, etc.). Since you are new here, you may wish to check out some of the links within the welcome message on your talk page. They explain this formatting along with many other topics. Also, I see that in your last edit summary you note that you are working toward a different complete version of the page. I suggest that you work on this in a sandbox area, either the main sandbox or one that you attach to your user page. Then you can cut and paste it to this article when it is complete (presumably with the standard Wiki formating). Also, I'm not sure why you deleted some of the information that was in the article. Is there a problem with the content? Glancing at it, I don't see anything controversial or inaccurate, but if there is, please discuss it here on the talk page. Anyhow, welcome to Wikipedia and happy editing! :) --GentlemanGhost 01:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * FYI: I have been addressing the issue as I go on their talk page. I'm on 2 reverts so am having to step back from that angle. (Emperor 01:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC))

My apologies
Emperor and GentlemanGhost my Apologies I was not trying to step on anyone’s toes. The edits that I am making are at the Request of Billy Tucci. The creator of Shi. Some of the links that I have tried to remove are just not appropriate or needed updating. But I understand I am new and did not know all of the rules. I will do a bit more reading tomorrow. And give it another try. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sllamky01 (talk • contribs) 02:18, 13 June 2007


 * No problem. We're willing to work with you. Cheers, GentlemanGhost 22:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Shi Sashimoto.jpg
Image:Shi Sashimoto.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.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Redundancy
There is a lot of redundancy in this article, particularly in the character history section. Gronteam (talk) 05:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Racial origin?
Not familiar with the Shi character, I have a question about the fictional background. The article describes her as "mixed Japanese and American," but a background of mixed nationalities does not seem particularly relevant. Is it possible that the writers mean the character has a mixed racial origin? If so, "American" is not a synonym for "Caucasian." Any clarification on that point, or am I misinterpreting? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pagination (talk • contribs) 00:28, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Copyediting Summary
Copyediting completed on article. Here are a few areas that might need further attention:

David Thibault (talk) 22:45, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * "Yamabushi warrior monk traditions" and "the ways of the sohei" are both referenced as being important influences on Ana's (Shi's) life. The Yamabushi and sohei appear to be two separate groups. It would help if the article explained in further detail how each group has influenced her.
 * In the merchandise section, what does 1/6 refer to? (inches? centimetres?)
 * Crusade Comics, Crusade Fine Arts, and Crusade are all alluded to in the article. Are they one and the same? If so, one name should be used in all cases (however, where the name of the publisher was different when a certain book was published, the older name can be referenced in parenthesizes: "then known as...")
 * In the publications section, primary, should Tomoe #1–3 be listed, or should it appear in the crossover section?
 * In the references section, the book titles should be italicized to conform with the Wikipedia Manual of Style.
