Talk:Shinji Ikari

Psychology

Not to be an arse, but isn't most of the stuff here superstition and theories? Especially the drowning comment, it's the first I've heard of it.--Szmitten 07:37, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

I wasn't planning on having the "psychology" sections be used to 'diagnose' the characters, myself... yeah. More to write about the "psychological aspects" of their characters, without the intention of slapping on "professional labels". E.g., Shinji's depression and anxiety in general and some of the forms it takes; psychological implications of being a "neat freak"; the so-called "Oedipus Complex"; etc.

First time you see him in EoE, Shinji's head is sopping wet. That's typically been taken as an indication of "dunking", though softener words might be used here. --Reichu 08:36, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Which Children Shinji is

Just so you know, Shinji is the Third Children, NOT First. The First Children is Rei and the Second is Asuka. As a side note, these wikis drive me nuts with all the copying and pasting that needs to be done when several people are working on the same page. It's great that people are working on it, just confusing. Any tips on how to alleviative this? e.g.: Is copying and pasting your progress/additions into a text document a good idea? Thanks! --Sailor Star Dust 22:21, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

If I ever wrote that, either (A) you imagined it, or (B) I was being absent-minded. (It probably happens because of Eva-01.)

People working on the same page at the same time? Integrating the changes you've made with a page that's been updated since you started working on it is a pain, but it's one of those small prices that we have to pay. --Reichu 02:45, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Edit a subsection as opposed to the entire article at once. That's the only real way to handle this, but there's no real way around it when the main body text itself is being altered by multiple people. Diplomacy is the art of compromise. --V 11:41, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

"Sensei"

Having the note on it meaning "teacher in Japanese" is incomplete/misleading. There should probably be a page that explains what the various honorifics and things like sensei and sempai mean, since I am seeing a need for it. Any occurence of one of the terms can simply link to a more complete explanation. --Reichu 02:50, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Shinji in the Manga

Need more NPOV. --Reichu 21:39, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

Will fix that... --UrsusArctos 21:46, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

Shouldn't the Manga stuff go into a special Manga section of the Encyclopedia, not on the anime character's biopage? --thewayneiac Aug. 19, 2007 21:52 EDT.

Nah, I thought we'd agreed that all the character information from all the canons (Anime, Manga, Rebuild, etc.) all come together in the same article. --UrsusArctos 22:00, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

See the conventions page, Wayne. If one of the sections gets too long, it'll be split off. --Reichu 02:45, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
