Editing Talk:Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai:Guidelines

we should start standardising some of the things within the novel. Like kira posted in the forums, there's the question of naming the attacks. One of the things I'm proposing is that we bold all the registration codes. So it'd be like '''Silent Roar''', '''Sacred Blaze''', because some characters already have nicknames so this will distinguish them from the rest.--[[User:Hayashi s|Hayashi s]] 07:42, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

== registration codes ==

Stella, I'll be using «'''Second Last'''». No pressure on you to change though, you can keep using your furigana template and we'll see how it goes.

== The tite name ==

What title name should be more appropriate? Quoting Kadi:

-"Well, the Kanji originally read "Kikou Shoujo ha Kizu tsukanai", the tricky/contriving/clever girl does not get injured (kanji joke on Mechanism Girl, which is also read as Kikou Shoujo)

-Furigana for Kikou Shoujo are マシンドール, MaShiNDoORu or Machine Doll. Machine Doll does not get injured

-And then there's proper (?) English text on the cover saying Unbreakable Machine Doll.

-So Unbreakable Machine Doll is the most... intended title, I guess? (with other words: screw you, Japan. Again.)"

So, what should the title be? Considering that we've been always using furiganas for our project, should the title be 'Machine Doll wa kizutsukanai"? [[User:Kira0802|Kira]] ([[User_talk:Kira0802|Talk]]) 05:08, 15 June 2012 (CDT)

I'd suggest Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai (Unbreakable Machine Doll)--[[User:Hayashi s|Hayashi s]] 05:24, 15 June 2012 (CDT)

Its better to be in parallel to the manga name. It comes handy when you search this on Google. If the name is changed then there mught not be the desired result on the 1st page atleast. To avoid confusing the name just as Hayashi_s said. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 08:16, 15 June 2012 (CDT)

== Tenses? ==

Should it be kept in present or past tense? [[User:Stellarroze|Stellarroze]] - [[User_talk:Stellarroze|Talk]] 15:17, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

Generally I try to stick to past tense wherever possible, but for Raishin's thoughts I sometimes use present tense for style, because it's like he's talking to himself.--[[User:Hayashi s|Hayashi s]] 02:05, 23 June 2012 (CDT)

Okay so it's past tense for everything but thoughts.[[User:Stellarroze|Stellarroze]] - [[User_talk:Stellarroze|Talk]] 02:31, 23 June 2012 (CDT)
