[edit] Picture?

The previous picture in the infobox for this article was a picture of Lucia in her idol form. I felt this was not representative enough of the entire anime, and replaced it with a picture of the entire mermaid idol cast. If anybody feels this is unnecessary and would like to revert to the original picture, it can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PinkPearlVoice.jpg . Thanks!

[edit] Character articles merged

I've merged all the individual character articles into a single article: Characters of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch. See WP:FICT as to why I did so. Nifboy 23:17, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Character Names

Currently, the article says:

“ The spellings of the names of the Mermaid Princesses are based from how they were spelled in the official merchandise. Other names were based from the ones used by fans over the internet. ”

Surely, the other character names should be taken from the most official English language source of all - the Del Ray translation? --Ppk01 15:10, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Question is... how are they spelled in the Del Ray manga? - 上村七美 | talk 15:13, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Seeing as I do not have possession of any of the manga issues (and probably won't until Christmas), the truth is in the darkness forever... for now. Ppk01 15:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
The English manga uses the official names, with Del Rey's trademark macrons. Therefore, we have 'Lucia Nanami, Nikora, Hippo, Kaito Dômoto, Hanon Hôshô, Gackto, Izûru, Eriru, Rina Tôin, Yûri, Noel, Momo-chan, Maria, Taki-san, Meru and Kura-chan for all the characters that have been named and appeared thus far. Sara, Coco and Caren have appeared but were not named; however, it is assumed that they too will use the official spellings. --Sana Jisushi 18:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Na, how could I forget Tarô Mitsuki/Mizuki? Both have been used. --Sana Jisushi 18:02, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Do you mean macrons or circumflexes? You used circumflexes in those you listed above. - 上村七美 | talk 18:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Better use macrons, so as to conform to the Japanese Manual of Style (which, as it turns out, is written in English). Ppk01 10:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Cleanup of 30 October 2006

Here's a summary of what's been changed.

  • The HTML-style comments have been removed, and replaced with a single one atop the Characters section.
  • The article's title is Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, the most commonly used title for the franchise, so this is still the title used throughout the article. However, the English manga title has now been emboldened to give it emphasis. Likewise, the titles in the infoboxes have been corrected (thanks to JSH-alive).
  • The opening paragraph has been spaced out.
  • The basic story has been clarified a bit.
  • The seiyū section has been merged into the Characters section using the anime voices template.
  • Slight rephrasing in the opening and the songs sections.
  • Information on the anime in other countries has been moved to a The anime in other countries section.

All this should help bring the article into line with the WikiProject Anime and Manga Article Structure Guidelines. Enjoy! --Ppk01 13:54, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
