I have Deleted REDLINKS that are Deleted Pages. Kathleen.wright5 12:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Holy crap! I say this article is pure ruin, try to fix it and I realized it need complete re-written (all I can do are reword heading and spec removal). Load of POV, badly organize format and maybe even copyvio (suspecious writing style). Anyone plan to NFD? It will get my vote in current form. L-Zwei 05:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Realized the thing is outdate, now working to fix it. In order to shorten list abit, I think it would be better to only list unit by their first appearance (so no Zaku IIF list for ten times), unless it has redesign. Any opinion? L-Zwei 17:34, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I concur. We should try to merge and trim content where possible to reduce the amount of articles floating around up there that can't really be given proper treatment. Jtrainor 12:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Reorganize test, the MSG section on master list would look like this.
Look a little weird, but I guess we will get use to it. Well, at least Cosmic Era article don't have problem with model number part as it can be put in description. Any comment? L-Zwei 09:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Speaking of List of Cosmic Era mobile units, I propose that it be reorganized in alphabetical order by name (not codename, so GAT-X105 Strike would be under "S") instead of organizing it "by faction and unit type", which L-Zwei stated "can be troublesome". It would improve the list by having only one entry per mobile unit instead of some mobile units having multiple entries, such as mobile units that were stolen by another faction (e.g. the Duel, Blitz, Aegis, etc.) or were used by multiple factions (e.g. the Strike). Also it would make redirecting articles to the list easier, such as the GAT-X103 Buster Gundam article which redirects to "Prototypes" under the "Earth Alliance/OMNI Enforcer" section, even though the Buster has three entries in total on the list (in the "Clyne Faction/Three Ships Alliance", "Earth Alliance/OMNI Enforcer", and "ZAFT" sections). If there are no objections, I will make the changes. -- Silver Edge 00:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Please help me understand recent Template:Infobox Mobile Suit activity by expanding Template talk:Infobox Mobile Suit#Ahem and thank you. – Conrad T. Pino 19:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Just thought I'd let the project community know, there's an anonymous Earthlink user currently engaging a WP:POINT campaign against Gundam articles I've edited (and a few I haven't) thanks to disagreements in a previous AfD. This user has one registered account, and a variety of anonymous IP addresses he edits from. If you note questionable edits by any of the following addresses, I suggest you revert them if you feel the quality of the article is affected.
The latter is unquestionably a sockpuppet account. I'm going to have a checkuser ran on it in the near future just to be sure, but it's well within a reasonable likelihood right now. This user has attempted to use these accounts to influence an AfD (see the Zeong's talk page or ask User:Jtrainor for details) and is now using them to avoid charges of vandalism and 3RR violations. It's worth noting that he and User:A Man In Black are cooperating in pinning down questionable reverts to articles I've edited as well.
Those of you more familiar with Wiki-fu than I, is there any way we can get some kind of administrative action taken against him? He claims that using Earthlink means none of the "vandal" edits were his, which I find laughable, but it sounds like a decent idea given Wikipedia's stupidly-lenient stance on anonymous users. At any rate, keep your eyes open, we're not out of the woods yet by a long shot. MalikCarr 22:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

These two 'fair use' images Image:Rengo2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rengo2.jpeg and Image:Zaft2.jpeg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zaft2.jpeg are used in a number of articles but are lacking in proper 'fair use' rationale GundamsRus 03:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Should we follow the other wiki projects and addin the article status in the WP:GUNDAM tag? Say, we also set up our standards and label the articles separated from the wikipedia one so that we can kinda categorize articles that should be worked on first and the ones that we can focus on to bring it up to the real wiki FA standards? Say, start class would be the same, and we have pass class on articles that just met the wiki standards(would be still start class on wiki), basic class that goes with B class and candidate would be articles that needs extensive attention in bringing up quality to get to the GA or FA status. Once it got to GA or FA, we can drop the project status tag. I'd say the series articles should be focused on now since they are the basics of the project and if we can get enough series articles as GA or FA, we can get into the featured topic and would be less likely to get targeted by deletionists.

There was a Striker pack article, I tried my best to make it look better and moved it to Addon systems or something but it still look extremely bad, and I have no regrets that it got deleted. Then someone recreated the Striker pack article and it got moved to the current location. I'd say we nominate it for AfD and don't include it in our project for now, since METEOR got only like less than 10 episode's appearance and if all the addons of the MSs cannot get enough notability, METEOR surely does not by itself. MythSearcher talk 09:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
The problem here is somebody recreated a deleted article, with less impressive features and more fan speculation and pov. Notability is not about how much it contributed in the story, but of actual real-life aspects. Currently the page is pretty much just trash and highly inaccurate, it should be merged to where the ship Eternal is, since METEOR is essentially just a removable cannon on it, or be deleted and hope for more good sources other than 3 models that are just SEED dedicated ones and not the HG, MG series. The modellers in Japan didn't even care to build one and show it in the hobby magazines, it got pretty poor reception and popularity even compared to Strike dagger and the packs. MythSearcher talk 03:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
All the F90/F91 stuff along with SNRI could stand to be merged into a single article that also talks about the model kit series; I think this should clean up that particular corner nicely.
Also, can someone please archive this page? It's getting rather long... Jtrainor ( talk) 19:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Keep an eye out for TTN. He's currently merging and redirecting hundreds of fiction articles (and is the subject of an arbcom case at the moment) against consensus, so it would probably be a good idea to revert him on sight if he messes with stuff we're working on.

I'm wondering if there isn't a bias to linking toward certain sites. Namely, people seem to take it as given that Gundam articles should link to MAHQ and/or ANN. Yet some sites such as Gunota Headlines get removed as 'link spam'. I find this questionable. MAHQ and ANN are strong resources but they're just as much independent fan sites as Gunota is. Specifically for the latter, the bulk of info for the English speaking fandom comes from that site. On something like the SEED movie article, I don't see why it's more preferable to link to the ANN page when even that just has a few guesses at info.-- HellCat86 ( talk) 23:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Leo_(mobile_suit) needs to be either fixed up or merged; it seems it got skipped over during the work on List of articles. The reason I'm poking about this is because it is currently up from AfD, with a remarkably Gavin collins-like rationale (aka, the guy who nommed it obviously didn't do more than give the article a cursory glance).

The fictional wars and battles like One Year War, Gryps Conflict and Battle of Axis should be either deleted, merged, or at least given sources of notability. The Category:Gundam Wars should be deleted as well since sooner or later a deletionist is going to list it as CfD anyway and I see no point in keeping it as well as triggering another mass AfD nomination war.

Consolidated relevant discussion. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire - past ops) 05:49, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I've wanted for some time to work on the various Gundam-related navboxes, but a lack of knowledge of the Gundam universe, coupled with the deplorable state of the majority of Gundam-related articles, has discouraged me from doing so. However, in light of the recent work TheFarix has undertaken to start cleaning up the Gundam mess, and all the recent deletion discussions TTN has started, I think I may be able to get started in the future. In order to do so, though, I'm going to need some help, preferably from someone familiar with the Gundam universe and the array of Gundam articles currently present. My current plan is to basically rewrite the entire Gundam navbox structure, with a single overarching navbox to connect all the series, and then individual navboxes covering each series as necessary, with further details to be discussed after I get some feedback (right now, for the main template, I am considering organization by release date or media type or something).

To start with, I zapped the variations thing from Gundam (mobile suit) for now.

I propose that a deletion review be opened over the recent deletion of List of Universal Century technology.

I've just made an article about Kimitoshi Yamane, which was subsequently speedy-tagged for deletion just a few hours later by user Collectorian, just moments after I added details regarding his involvement in Escaflowne. Yamane is currently designing IGLOO and has worked on numerous other Gundam works, so I find it extremely surprising his notability is being questioned.

I'm suggesting that the pages for the Exia, Dynames, and 00 Gundams' be merged into this article.

Well, according to his talk page, Virginian has flown the coop... I propose creating a "List of Gundam 00 vehicles and support units" article in the same style as that SEED one that's floating around. Ptolemios may or may not qualify for it's own article, depending on whether it's recieved coverage (White Base and Archangel both have their own).
This seems to be the general thoughts of the folks who want the stuff to stay in the article, as they keep adding Ptolemios and so forth, but not any of the more minor stuff (Virginia-class ship used by the Union, those things that the HRL uses, ALAWS' carriers in S2, etc).

I just try to use table on this list User:L-Zwei/Universal Centiry Mobile Weapons. The table suppose to give only brief info, provide only basic character of MS/MA.

More detail suppose to feature in each mech's article or more exclusive list. Currently only MSG section is complete, any comment?
I'm pretty much has Great Old One and Outer God lists as model. There are two master lists, which give short summary and provide link (if available) to entry's article or more exclusive list that provide more detail on that entry. If thing gone well, there will be two master lists, one for UC and other for other series. Reason is to avoid cramness and UC is "classic" setting that keep expanding.

Hi,
Just bring the weird issue to think off. The Gundam Seed Destiny Manga adaptation has two series of 5 & 2 volumes respectively. see below for details.
However i stumbled upon the Del Rey localization of the Manga and there are only one series of 4 volumes
The summary of Del Rey the vol. 4 explicitly say it the final volume.
Can anyone tell me how Original volumes & English ones are related as it's obvious that Del Rey made some cut in the localization process. Rough math give a difference of 100 pages or so.

Thanks to the efforts of several individuals, the various
Gundam-related navboxes have largely been cleaned up and set in order, as well as a handful of new ones created for specific subfranchises ({{
Mobile Suit Gundam}}, {{
Mobile Suit Gundam 00}}, {{
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED}}, and {{
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing}}). Now that this is done, does anyone here know any articles that are missing from any of these navboxes? Also, are there any other subfranchises which warrant their own navbox, or can any new navboxes be split off of the current ones (for instance, possibly splitting off {{
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny}} from {{Mobile Suit Gundam SEED}})? In addition, if someone happens to be familiar with

I kind of preferred the old navbox for Gundam because, while less cleaned up, it was a good place to find which Gundam series belongs to which timeline.

Hello there. This is to inform you all that I've nominated an article belonging to this project, Universal Century technology, for deletion. The discussion can be found here.
I've tagged List of Gundam manga and novels for a bunch of issues, but frankly, I have no idea just how it should be beyond being formatted with tables instead of lists.

I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized).

There is an unknown number of pages, "RX-77 Guncannon" being one of them, that state the the mecha has "60mm Vulcan cannon" as defense. This is linked to the page on the REAL M61 Vulcan cannon, which is a 20mm weapon...about .60cal (.60 inches), in other words. Is this a mistake? I know that this is fiction, but if it is indeed supposed to be a 60mm weapon, then perhaps the link to the real Vulcan is inappropriate? At this time there is no Gatling-type 60mm cannon in service, and if it's actually supposed to be 20mm guns that the mecha are armed with, then it should be changed, time permitting.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Post–One Year War until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. 64.229.101.119 ( talk) 05:31, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
I've noticed that some of the Gundam articles, while rather informative, directly come from Gundam Wikia. I've been working on some articles myself to remove that in-universe "smell" so common in Gundam Wiki articles, but is there anyone who can help prune the in-universe treatment much more? I've seen several character articles that have been redirected, which is a good thing. -- Eaglestorm ( talk) 03:41, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
I have been working in some Gundam Seed characters articles like Kira Yamato and the other protagonists to follow the manual of style and pass notability. However, I was unable to find any creation information about. On the other hand, some mobile suits from the same series have unsourced interviews with the staff in charge and I wonder if somebody knows a reliable source that has information about this characters' creation.

I found some Japanese scans from the book Gundam SEED Official file that contains comments from the staff in charge. This one and this one have comments from four Japanese voice actors.

I have Deleted REDLINKS that are Deleted Pages. Kathleen.wright5 12:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Holy crap! I say this article is pure ruin, try to fix it and I realized it need complete re-written (all I can do are reword heading and spec removal). Load of POV, badly organize format and maybe even copyvio (suspecious writing style). Anyone plan to NFD? It will get my vote in current form. L-Zwei 05:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Realized the thing is outdate, now working to fix it. In order to shorten list abit, I think it would be better to only list unit by their first appearance (so no Zaku IIF list for ten times), unless it has redesign. Any opinion? L-Zwei 17:34, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I concur. We should try to merge and trim content where possible to reduce the amount of articles floating around up there that can't really be given proper treatment. Jtrainor 12:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Reorganize test, the MSG section on master list would look like this.

Speaking of List of Cosmic Era mobile units, I propose that it be reorganized in alphabetical order by name (not codename, so GAT-X105 Strike would be under "S") instead of organizing it "by faction and unit type", which L-Zwei stated "can be troublesome". It would improve the list by having only one entry per mobile unit instead of some mobile units having multiple entries, such as mobile units that were stolen by another faction (e.g. the Duel, Blitz, Aegis, etc.) or were used by multiple factions (e.g. the Strike). Also it would make redirecting articles to the list easier, such as the GAT-X103 Buster Gundam article which redirects to "Prototypes" under the "Earth Alliance/OMNI Enforcer" section, even though the Buster has three entries in total on the list (in the "Clyne Faction/Three Ships Alliance", "Earth Alliance/OMNI Enforcer", and "ZAFT" sections). If there are no objections, I will make the changes. -- Silver Edge 00:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Just thought I'd let the project community know, there's an anonymous Earthlink user currently engaging a WP:POINT campaign against Gundam articles I've edited (and a few I haven't) thanks to disagreements in a previous AfD. This user has one registered account, and a variety of anonymous IP addresses he edits from. If you note questionable edits by any of the following addresses, I suggest you revert them if you feel the quality of the article is affected.
The latter is unquestionably a sockpuppet account. I'm going to have a checkuser ran on it in the near future just to be sure, but it's well within a reasonable likelihood right now. This user has attempted to use these accounts to influence an AfD (see the Zeong's talk page or ask User:Jtrainor for details) and is now using them to avoid charges of vandalism and 3RR violations. It's worth noting that he and User:A Man In Black are cooperating in pinning down questionable reverts to articles I've edited as well.
Those of you more familiar with Wiki-fu than I, is there any way we can get some kind of administrative action taken against him? He claims that using Earthlink means none of the "vandal" edits were his, which I find laughable, but it sounds like a decent idea given Wikipedia's stupidly-lenient stance on anonymous users. At any rate, keep your eyes open, we're not out of the woods yet by a long shot. MalikCarr 22:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Should we follow the other wiki projects and addin the article status in the WP:GUNDAM tag? Say, we also set up our standards and label the articles separated from the wikipedia one so that we can kinda categorize articles that should be worked on first and the ones that we can focus on to bring it up to the real wiki FA standards? Say, start class would be the same, and we have pass class on articles that just met the wiki standards(would be still start class on wiki), basic class that goes with B class and candidate would be articles that needs extensive attention in bringing up quality to get to the GA or FA status. Once it got to GA or FA, we can drop the project status tag. I'd say the series articles should be focused on now since they are the basics of the project and if we can get enough series articles as GA or FA, we can get into the featured topic and would be less likely to get targeted by deletionists.

There was a Striker pack article, I tried my best to make it look better and moved it to Addon systems or something but it still look extremely bad, and I have no regrets that it got deleted. Then someone recreated the Striker pack article and it got moved to the current location. I'd say we nominate it for AfD and don't include it in our project for now, since METEOR got only like less than 10 episode's appearance and if all the addons of the MSs cannot get enough notability, METEOR surely does not by itself. MythSearcher talk 09:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
The problem here is somebody recreated a deleted article, with less impressive features and more fan speculation and pov. Notability is not about how much it contributed in the story, but of actual real-life aspects. Currently the page is pretty much just trash and highly inaccurate, it should be merged to where the ship Eternal is, since METEOR is essentially just a removable cannon on it, or be deleted and hope for more good sources other than 3 models that are just SEED dedicated ones and not the HG, MG series. The modellers in Japan didn't even care to build one and show it in the hobby magazines, it got pretty poor reception and popularity even compared to Strike dagger and the packs. MythSearcher talk 03:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
All the F90/F91 stuff along with SNRI could stand to be merged into a single article that also talks about the model kit series; I think this should clean up that particular corner nicely.

Keep an eye out for TTN.

I'm wondering if there isn't a bias to linking toward certain sites. Namely, people seem to take it as given that Gundam articles should link to MAHQ and/or ANN. Yet some sites such as Gunota Headlines get removed as 'link spam'. I find this questionable. MAHQ and ANN are strong resources but they're just as much independent fan sites as Gunota is. Specifically for the latter, the bulk of info for the English speaking fandom comes from that site. On something like the SEED movie article, I don't see why it's more preferable to link to the ANN page when even that just has a few guesses at info.-- HellCat86 ( talk) 23:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I've wanted for some time to work on the various Gundam-related navboxes, but a lack of knowledge of the Gundam universe, coupled with the deplorable state of the majority of Gundam-related articles, has discouraged me from doing so. However, in light of the recent work TheFarix has undertaken to start cleaning up the Gundam mess, and all the recent deletion discussions TTN has started, I think I may be able to get started in the future. In order to do so, though, I'm going to need some help, preferably from someone familiar with the Gundam universe and the array of Gundam articles currently present. My current plan is to basically rewrite the entire Gundam navbox structure, with a single overarching navbox to connect all the series, and then individual navboxes covering each series as necessary, with further details to be discussed after I get some feedback (right now, for the main template, I am considering organization by release date or media type or something).

Hi,
Just bring the weird issue to think off. The Gundam Seed Destiny Manga adaptation has two series of 5 & 2 volumes respectively. see below for details.
However i stumbled upon the Del Rey localization of the Manga and there are only one series of 4 volumes
The summary of Del Rey the vol. 4 explicitly say it the final volume.
Can anyone tell me how Original volumes & English ones are related as it's obvious that Del Rey made some cut in the localization process. Rough math give a difference of 100 pages or so.

Thanks to the efforts of several individuals, the various
Gundam-related navboxes have largely been cleaned up and set in order, as well as a handful of new ones created for specific subfranchises ({{
Mobile Suit Gundam}}, {{
Mobile Suit Gundam 00}}, {{
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED}}, and {{
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing}}). Now that this is done, does anyone here know any articles that are missing from any of these navboxes? Also, are there any other subfranchises which warrant their own navbox, or can any new navboxes be split off of the current ones (for instance, possibly splitting off {{
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny}} from {{Mobile Suit Gundam SEED}})? In addition, if someone happens to be familiar with

I closed this AfD as merge to an unspecified target. I'd like to invite the project members to figure out where best to send this content. If no one gets to this in a week or so, I'll probably just merge it myself. Thanks, Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 14:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
When and where was this decision made, exactly? –Conkblocked Wiki 19:44, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized). Please see discussion at WT:MOSTV#Updates to the MOS. Thank you. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:14, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
There is an unknown number of pages, "RX-77 Guncannon" being one of them, that state the the mecha has "60mm Vulcan cannon" as defense. This is linked to the page on the REAL M61 Vulcan cannon, which is a 20mm weapon...about .60cal (.60 inches), in other words. Is this a mistake? I know that this is fiction, but if it is indeed supposed to be a 60mm weapon, then perhaps the link to the real Vulcan is inappropriate? At this time there is no Gatling-type 60mm cannon in service, and if it's actually supposed to be 20mm guns that the mecha are armed with, then it should be changed, time permitting.

I've noticed that some of the Gundam articles, while rather informative, directly come from Gundam Wikia. I've been working on some articles myself to remove that in-universe "smell" so common in Gundam Wiki articles, but is there anyone who can help prune the in-universe treatment much more? I've seen several character articles that have been redirected, which is a good thing. -- Eaglestorm ( talk) 03:41, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
I have been working in some Gundam Seed characters articles like Kira Yamato and the other protagonists to follow the manual of style and pass notability. However, I was unable to find any creation information about. On the other hand, some mobile suits from the same series have unsourced interviews with the staff in charge and I wonder if somebody knows a reliable source that has information about this characters' creation.

I found some Japanese scans from the book Gundam SEED Official file that contains comments from the staff in charge. This one and this one have comments from four Japanese voice actors. There are a comments by the director and others, but it's all in Japanese so it may require a person who knows Japanese to check it. Tintor2 ( talk) 02:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
