Now that the series has ended, and the content should start to be stable, perhaps we should make a goal of bringing the article up to GA status? The one obviously missing piece would be a "themes" section, which really ought to come out of discussions elsewhere rather than being OR here. To that end, there are lively discussions taking place at the AnimeSuki forum ( http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=29388) and on the "Simoun" and "Yuricon" Yahoo! groups. After a few weeks to a month of coming to a consensus (and writing it up on other web sites), perhaps it can be summarized here. What else needs to be done to make the article GA-worthy?

The speaker in episode 26 was Plumbish, not Argentine. Is the Argentine dialogue from the earlier episodes also reversed? Susan Davis 22:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't sure which ethnicity the person was, as the Plumbish priests translated for both factions. I reversed the dialogue of an Argentine pilot from episode 4, and that's reversed Japanese too. Magus Melchior 01:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I've just started the template {{ Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Userbox/User Simoun}} and a corresponding self-referencial category. Please, populate it. ^^ If you have a nice non-fair use picture, please, let me know. -- Koveras ☭ 09:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Add a source, please. :) -- Koveras ☭ 14:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Image:Dominura2.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 Wikipedia: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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

As much as it pains me to see "Aaeru" rendered "Aer" in the official sub, AFAIK the rules of anime project state that the official names are to be used if an anime is licensed. I believe we should change it before someone comes along and nominates the article for deletion (what, I've seen pages AfDed for less than that!)... Does anyone have a list of official transliterations? -- Koveras ☭ 06:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
A transliteration is not needed in all cases, especially in the "Aer" vs Aeru case, because in the anime her name is used more than once and the u at the end is always pronounced clearly. If there are rules overwriting the actual name for any reason then these rules are to be abandonded. Using new "official names" because an organization based in an english speaking nation acquired rights to distribute it does not change the names in the original anime. The article is about the anime. Translated versions are only of secondary importance at best. The transcription must be as close to the true name of the character as possible. "Aer" isnt anywhere near that for the english language. The debate is settled as any other set of priorities only serves to disconnect the article from what it tries to describe. Note that basing a judgement on transliteration makes the least sense when we are talking about an anime before manga release. -- Zetawaves ( talk) 06:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
thank you for the link. i will read the rules, but im not going to bother trying to change the mind of the imbeciles that put these rules into place. it is much easier to abandon wikipedia as run by incompetent, self-important people. i have explained my position. i believe that you even agree with me, but chose to value authority (rules) higher than reason, which is sad. Zetawaves ( talk) 20:31, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
shouldn't it be noted somewhere about the latin terms used in the anime?

I'm amazed how this article managed to completely avoid using the word 'lesbian'. ^_^ If asked to provide a one-sentence description of this show I'd go for something like lesbian-lolita-priestesses-mass-murdering-enemies-to-the-sound-of-french-elevator-music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arotto ( talk • contribs) 12:13, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Why? -- Koveras ☭ 09:16, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Revisiting this issue, I still believe the two should be merged. For one, it would give actual body to the main article. Tthe DVD section would largely be moved under the list of episodes section as is done since that also needs more body. The media section can be quite heavily condensed since alot of it rather catelogy based. While I do very much like detailing every single detail about music, alot of the stuff present in the article should been condensed into prose and lose its list like appearance. Books and manga can also be converted to prose. On the whole the entire thing will get massively reduced in size. I will began doing all these changes before actually merging them.

However thoroughly amused I've been by the recent vandalism spree in this article, I am afraid I must speak against it. :) Firstly, I would like to present three arguments:
Therefore, as you can see, there is nothing wrong with the Reception section in this article. So, secondly, I would like to appeal to the article's most recent anonymous editors to please refrain from vandalizing the page again. :) -- Koveras ☭ 16:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I have made this Tempus Spatium symbol in SVG for the userbox and now it's being considered for deletion because it's unused. Do you think it is good/accurate enough to be placed somewhere in the article itself? -- Koveras ☭ 11:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
