Wikipedia:WikiProject Sailor Moon/References

How-to
As per Wikipedia guidelines, this project prefers that reliable sources are used for reference. For details from the series, we prefer the use of the actual primary sources. For example if there is a website with a scan from the manga and there is something interesting in the image, please refer to a physical copy of that volume of the manga rather than trust the scan. This helps discount original research, incorrect information and help to keep the pages free of rumors.

For opinions that are held by a certain group of fans or the media (which may be necessary, but very rarely), please use proper citation for the website or media in question. This secondary source includes newspapers, magazines, sources for ratings information, and surveys conducted by official newspapers (surveys by fans will be discounted). Fansites, wikis, and other sources which do not meet Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sources should not be used and are strongly discouraged. See for more on what not to use for sources.

Fan speculation and comments on the fandom are subject to notability practices. They are highly discouraged and so this is why these are not referenced on this page.

Short explanation
Silver Millennium shows how I do it. Step 1: After the sentence you're sourcing, put  . Step 2: Under the References section, simply put this line, if the article has less than 10 references:

or if it has more than 10, use:

Optional step 3: If you discover that you're going to use any of these sources more than once, just go back to the first time you used it and replace   with   or whatever name you want. Then, every subsequent time you use it, instead of putting the whole thing in you can just use   and it'll put a link down to that same footnote.

Long explanation
See WP:CITE.

Shinsouban/Renewal Volumes
(Shinsouban [literally meaning new volumes] is what Kodansha officially labels it and Renewal is what it's labeled by Takeuchi in the Punch! strips.)

These should not be used for citation unless referring to changes made in the shinsouban. Because of resplitting and renumbering of the acts, it's highly advised that members who want to reference the shinsouban, also own them for this reason.


 * Volume 1
 * ISBN 4-06-334776-1
 * Contains Acts 1-6
 * September 22, 2003
 * example:
 * Notable Fixes: Chapter Listings was added. (It was cut/missed in the original volume 1) New stickers, take out of liner notes and back notes, new images, color image of first page (since it was originally in color for the magazine, but not the manga). New cover, (front, back and flap art), new sign (pink), cut of Intro Act 1 page. Division between the first page and second page of the manga (which creates a different artistic effect, creating a less busy feel), changes of symbols (for example puff of steam was made into a star), redrawing of Sailor V poster. Redoing of screentone, redoing of objects, such as the moon compact. redrawing of transformation sequence, (significant change there, definite anime influence), redrawing of attack sequence, adding of SD figures. Use of computer effects (particularly for objects that needed to be repeated over and over, probably vectors) The most notable thing about the shinsouban is that the further into the manga you get the less and less changes are made. What's done on Act 1, is much, much heavier than subsequent acts. The only exception is the one where she did 54 pages and didn't remember doing them according to her Punch notes, she redrew ALL of those pages and reformatted the frames drastically barely leaving any original artwork. That's Volume 3 of the original where they go to the moon the whole meaning of them going also changes drastically. It goes more towards Arthurian Legend and less generic ruins. Also notable is the change from hiragana to kanji. (yes, someone must be smirking at this--this is Usagi's weakness... related? Maybe?). Ami is in hiragana in one and kanji in the other. Ami is supposed to consistently be in kanji apparently, but didn't show up that way.

Sailor Moon episodes
Cite manga first over anime. Also make sure that when you need to cite two or more anime episodes to take off the tags. Cite only dub when citing differences between the original and the dub versions. If you'd like to make specific references to the subtitled "uncut" version, cite the video boxset, which is a separate type of citation than the ones below. However, for the purposes of this project this will not be likely.

In order, citations should go, anime, with references for changes in the dub after, then musicals, then PGSM. Musicals, unfortunately, were not aired on television, so the official video cassettes should be cited.

For all of the above, please do not cite any fan dubs as a reference. If you need translation help because of a lack of it, you can ask at the project proper's talk page. Several of the participants are good with Japanese.

In a section about Nakayoshi's marketing strategy, Sailor Moon is used as an example. The part relevant to our interests is only about three pages long, pages 92-93, and page 95. Note that "p." should be used if only one page is used, "pp." for more than one. This is from WP:ANIME's reference library. -Malkinann (talk) 23:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Any site which violates Wikipedia's copyright policies (such as those offering episode downloads). Any site, book, or magazine referenced must, of course, comply with the reliable source guidelines and Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Most fansites, open wikis, blogs are considered unreliable, unless the authors themselves are considered a reliable source.
