Gender
What are the proper genders of each character? I'm confused. In this article, it addresses Veridian with both "his" and "her". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaleb.G (talk • contribs) 00:01, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't catch that change when it was made. A handful of the reviews for the game refer to Veridian as a he, but I couldn't find any reference to gender made by Cavanagh himself. I'm going to change it back. --gakon5 (talk / contribs) 12:59, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe Veridian's gender was left ambiguous. According to this wiki, this was intentional so as to allow all players to relate to the character, although this is not sourced.  Nonetheless, Veridian's gender is never revealed in the game, so it seems strange that the article currently uses primarily "her".  I believe Violet and Victoria are the only female NPCs in the game.174.31.244.3 (talk) 03:05, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I just noticed now that Veridian is referred to as female with a note stating that "For the sake of simplicity, this article assumes Viridian is female." But Veridian was referred to as male before. Why the pointless change? For the "sake of simplicity", wouldn't it make more sense just to leave the gender as-is?

 * "Captain" seems like a masculine title to me, and I think(although I'm not sure) that some characters say "Yes, sir!" to Viridian. In any case, the change was unnecessary.  OneWithTheHive (talk) 20:24, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Still Adobe Flash for linux-version?

 * The game was built in Adobe Flash

The linux-version released with the humblebundle does not seem to be adobe. There are some SDL-libraries required though. --89.0.46.136 (talk) 20:35, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

About the edits on EU release date
Is it really necessary to do one edit per month? The last edit inserted Q2, which was fair enough for me, but now it's edited again..

There is no known release date (as far as I know), so why have one at all? Especially as the source points at a post which states that it was going to be released 3 months ago. If anything, http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/04/nicalis_expects_vvvvvv_to_reach_europe_in_early_may is more relevant for the current estimation.

May I change the source, or is there a particular reason for why it's like this now currently? I'm new here (in terms of experience) and that's why I didn't do it instantly.

Jet Set Willy ?
"The visual style of VVVVVV is heavily inspired by games released for the Commodore 64 8-bit computer from the 1980s, especially Jet Set Willy."

The reference says "A lot of people make a Jet Set Willy connection, but I actually never played that growing up, and hadn't even heard of Jet Set Willy until I played Jet Set Willy Online a few years ago."

Pronunciation
Is there any reference for it being pronounced "the letter V six times"? Not only does that sound daft, but it's unreferenced (and i can't find a reference for it either). In an interview with one of the developers, he says it's got no real pronunciation, though he himself called it just "V". http://www.avclub.com/articles/avc-at-gdc-10-an-interview-with-vvvvvv-creator-ter,39174/ Other Googlings state the same: that it's pronounced "Vee".

I'd change it myself, but i'm still completely useless at adding reference tags. Would someone like to do it themselves, or come up with a reference for the current pronunciation? Cheers -Evaristé93 (talk) 22:19, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Bit late maybe, but I removed it. No reason it should still be there, I couldn't find any sources specificly saying it's pronounced as V six times.--Telaneo (User talk page) 16:15, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
