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

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

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.

I was surprised to find I had admin-like privileges.
I can take it away if you want.....
