Your work on the Kabbalah stuff about the Tree of Life is much appreciated. Please feel free to be creative and just "go wild", and add whatever you can think of to the Evapedia :) --V 14:23, 20 January 2008 (PST)

I kinda like the "sound only" picture now. Yes, Rei/Misato is my favourite relationship, they better get naked together in Rebuild. --Zugzwang08:43, 22 January 2008 (PST)

Tsurumaki quote

Can you please find a source for the Tsurumaki quote you added to the "Cross" article? --V 09:31, 27 January 2008 (PST)

http://www.evaotaku.com/html/evafaq.html "at the Otakon anime convention held in 2001, assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki (who was the director of The End of Evangelion: Episode 25' Air - while Anno personally undetook The End of Evangelion: Episode 26' Sincerely Yours and acted as Chief Director) was asked directly what relvance Christianity had to Evangelion."

"Tsurumaki: There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice."

The same quote is on the Common Misconceptions page as well last I checked. --Zugzwang 10:00, 27 January 2008 (PST)

How to use images

Thanks for loading some images up to the site and showing initiative on that :) This guide to using images should help you out: The NGE Fan-Geeks Project:Boot Camp for Newbies#How to use images Ask me if you have any problems. --V 13:03, 27 January 2008 (PST)

The images really help to break up the massive amount of text. Reworded and organised some stuff and added more info. -- Yeah, the idea is that over time, we get lots of images for all of the big long important articles, and these break up the "wall of text" more. It's a work in progress though, and we need lots more images. --V 14:03, 27 January 2008 (PST)

Also, add categories to the images you upload. The manga covers should go into "Category:Images (Manga)", and the screenshots should go into "Category:Images (Screenshots)" or if they're from an episode: "Categories:Images (Episode ## Screenshots)". Checkout the categories under "Special pages" in the toolbox for a list of all the image categories. This should also help when someone already uploaded an images that you can use. --Ornette 06:29, 13 February 2008 (PST)

Nerv Headquarters

Zugy, the Nerv Headquarters article has so far been just a stub. As its more or less the primary setting of the series, it is supposed to eventually be a massive, exhaustive map/description of the whole complex. Thanks for putting in work on that; I have made numerous little side notes about the base layout, which I left in the episode guide (i.e. "Misato mentions they're on level 40 of section B, so there are at least 40 levels in this section" or "from episode 9's wall directory, we can see the mail room is on level 8" etc etc.) You might find more info by reading through the episode notes and such. Also, btw, there are separate articles on "Central Dogma" and "Terminal Dogma". They should have branched off of the "Nerv Headquarters" main page...tell you what I'm going to do, to demonstrate what this looks like I'm going to move the info in the Central Dogma and Terminal Dogma subsections of the Nerv HQ page you wrote and move them to the talk pages of the other articles: then you try to incorporate them in as you see fit. Good luck :) --V 17:15, 11 February 2008 (PST)

Reading through more: Reichu didn't want them as separate articles but we last talked about this in August, so we should renew the discussion of this on the Nerv HQ talk page (please join me there). --V 17:17, 11 February 2008 (PST)

Ok I'm actually leaning more towards, for the moment, that it would be a good idea to move Central Dogma and Terminal Dogma into just "Nerv HQ"; though eventually we'd have to branch them off again as the page gets too large (Nerv HQ is going to be one of the REALLY long articles, some day...) In which case, we'll have to formally go through the process of trying to merge/incorporate everything. You good to go? :)--V 17:21, 11 February 2008 (PST)

Good work on the Nerv HQ article; one thing I noticed is that some stuff you're saying is repeating stuff we also say in the "Tokyo-3" and "Geo-Front" articles. The Nerv HQ article I think should focus more on the "buildings/structure" which extends deep into the ground below the GeoFront itself (that is, I'm saying the GeoFront article already talks about the sunlight-windows and I don't know if you want to repeat that or not (you might) ) --V 17:27, 11 February 2008 (PST)
