Endless Eight, not Endless August

Post by Kinny Riddle »

I didn't even noticed someone has begun working on this chapter. Keep up the good work!

On the other hand, the original Japanese title for this エンドレスエイト clearly reads "Endless Eight", not "Endless August". The former sounds better, since both words begins with the letter "E". I've made adjustment concerning the titles in the wiki already.

I guess someone thought it was a reference to the Eighth month, a.k.a August. :lol:

Which it probably does, but because it isn't written in Kanji, and only in Katakana, then i suppose it should be taken litereally?

It just got switched back to "Endless August" :shock: Personally I think "Endless Eight" should be used (since it's the title in the book after all :P )

Ok, I will have it adjusted. The issue is that the Chinese variation decides to take 8 in terms of August (not that it lacks merit)

The title might also be referring to the infinity symbol ∞. Another double meaning, probably :D

I also found that it's the title of two pieces by Peter Eötvös. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_E%C3%B6tv%C3%B6s

Hey, nice catch, we should mention this in the chapter talk page. :)

Well, seeing this discussion, both Velocity7 and I more or less simultaneously had the idea of moving the chapter to the correct page name (great minds think alike?).

Anyway, he was a bit qucker on the draw, and copied the page contents over. Unfortunately, that does not bring the editing history along with it. I tried to clean things up by moving pages around, but it seems I can't get it to work correctly with regular user permissions (because I cannot delete the existing page).

After my half-failed attempts to fix things up "Suzumiya Haruhi:Volume5 Endless Eight" is now a redirect to the old page at "Suzumiya Haruhi:Volume5 Endless August". Would a wiki admin please delete the redirect page (along with the "Suzumiya Haruhi:Volume5 Endless Eight (dup)" page I foolishly created) so the chapter can be moved properly?

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like Velocity7's taken care of it already. Nifty.

Yeah, fixed it. :)

I was surprised to find I had admin-like privileges.

It'll be done when it's done. Working on this is a hobby, so it'll be done whenever the translator feels like it :shock:.

I am sorry for my long absence.
Now going to get back to it. Summer is over already ><. Ironically now I am thinking of the story premise of Endless Eight in the utter irony of the situation.

Welcome back, I was just about getting busy with my life while contemplating whether to take over your work. I'm glad you've returned now.

I honestly think the situation they are put into is a pure Horror.
I mean, Fifteen-thousand four hundred ninety-eight times. That's truly insane.
And Nagato's calmness is rather amazing.
