Do the characters that have their own articles really need some of the extensive write-ups that they have in this article? It seems to me that a single paragraph for each of these characters would be sufficient, with the extra information either moved to their articles or deleted outright if it's redundant. Also, it would help to reduce the article size. Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 02:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
What I'm going to do with the sections is move the character info out of those god-awful userboxes and give it some formatting (like the character article for RahXephon), then commence with the paring down. I've already cut down Misato's section, give some feedback if you catch this while I'm working, s'il-vous plait. Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 00:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I would go so far as to remove all a chara's vital statistics (age, etc., all the way thru VA) that already appears on their own page, as in a sense this info too is extraenous being that it now shows up in both places. -- BrokenSphere 00:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Alright, I think I've done about all the damage I can do. I know that there are a TON of redundant Wikilinks that need to be pared out, but right now I'm too tired to do much more with this page. Anyone see any glaring issues with the edits? Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 04:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Good rewrite on Aoba, Gwern. Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 22:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I clicked on the link to see what that was, and apparently its the desire to have sex with your mother. Now, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to me. How exactly would Shinji be expressing this by climbing into a robot which, unbeknownst to him, has his mother's soul watching over him? He wants his father's approval, and that of others, which he clearly states as the reason why he pilots, when asked in one episode.
I vote that be removed from the article, unless someone can mention a reason why its it in there.
Remember, Shinji was very young when his mother died. He may have longed for a mother, or anyone to care about him, but wishing to for a mother, and wishing to have sex with your mother, are two totally unrelated things. Dream Focus 01:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
In spite of the last edit, I'm not comfortable with the statement about Kyoko and Asuka. In the manga, she's clearly shown trying to manipulate someone, but I can't really tell if what the reader sees is a past event that cuts to the present or Kyoko's memories in the present filtered through her insanity. For those who've read the manga, what do you think? Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 03:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Is the information that this section is based on in the sites listed at the bottom of the page? I glanced through some of the links, but I didn't see anything that definitely matched the info in the section? Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 16:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
"Some fans believe him to be the character from the anti-Semitic legend of The Wandering Jew, but there is no evidence in the series or from any other source to support this claim."
So, this claim has no basis in the series or any spinoff media. Given this, why is it included in the wiki? It could just as easily be claimed that "Some fans believe him to be the Tooth Fairy." -- 82.13.149.11 23:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I've asked about the {{non-free}} template on the policy page...hopefully someone will get back with me soon. Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 17:06, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I've contacted one of the principal people at EvaCommentary.org for a source on Mana's last name...the vessel does exist but a source is needed explicitly explaining the connection. Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 21:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
