That's a nice piece of work, Zugy. But which one of these is the Tau Cross? And I don't see a cross in the Dummy Plug Factory.--V 07:15, 24 January 2008 (PST)

First row: regular and inverted Latin cross.

Second row: Misato's pendant/New Tokyo-3 as Greek cross.

Third row: Lilith on tau cross and tau within each pentagram as in the picture. --Zugzwang 10:00, 24 January 2008 (PST)

Lilith is not on a Tau cross; that's a normal Latin cross. I can't see the crosses inside of the pentagrams but I'll take your word that they're Tau crosses. Good. Btw, on here it is officially just "Tokyo-3" not "New Tokyo-3" (which is redundant). Thank you. --V 12:27, 24 January 2008 (PST)

You'd have to give an example of Lilith on a regular Latin cross 'cause I didn't see her on one in the series, she's on a tau cross that has a separated upper arm - it's probably better to talk about this in the F.G.P. forum if this is a matter of contention between us. The tau crosses are in the very centre of each pentagram, they're not that difficult to make out on my monitor at least! --Zugzwang 06:09, 26 January 2008 (PST)

According to the wikipedia entry, a Tau Cross appears to be curved, as does a google image search. I think what you mean is that Lilith's cross doesn't have a top section on it: this isn't so much a "Tau Cross" proper as a "modified Latin Cross, called a Tau Cross" (it looks like a big capital T, no curves), but apparently that is an applicable term for what Lilith's Cross is. The resolution is not too clear but I can kind of make out the T's inside of the pentagrams in the Dummy Plug Plant. Er, I guess the fuzzy nomenclature is theirs and not ours (calling a curvy Tau Cross and a topless Latin cross the same term...). --V 08:12, 26 January 2008 (PST)

That Wikipedia article has already been marked as below standards. In any case, you could also write the letter "Tau" rather differently- like any other T, and used in the right place it'd be a Tau cross. "Topless Latin Cross"-topless? Lol! --UrsusArctos 17:14, 26 January 2008 (PST)

"I think what you mean is that Lilith's cross doesn't have a top section on it" yes, that is what I mean, and that's called a tau cross not a "modified Latin cross"! It doesn't matter whether it's curvy or straight, as long as it's in the form of a T. --Zugzwang 07:18, 27 January 2008 (PST)
