[edit] Numbers in GW
Heero == One (Language?)
Une == One (French)
Duo == Two (Italian, many other Latin derivatives)
Trowa == Three (Language?)
Quatre == Four (Italian or French, other Latin derivatives)
Wu == Five (Chinese "δΊ”" pronouced Wu)
Zechs == Six (pronounce of 6 in German "Sechs")
Noin == Nine (pronounce of 9 in German "Neun")
Treize == Thirteen (French)
References: French numbers, Italian numbers, German numbers
- Trowa might be derived from the French for 3, Trois. Also, 5 in French is Cinq, which is either the exact spelling or close to the spelling of the Sanq Kingdom (depending on how you spell it.)
I believe the name Heero is related to the kun-reading of the Japanese number one: hito(tsu). Also Odin is Russian for one.--81.151.173.142 18:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsises
Hello. I've struck out the synopses which were put in by User:67.85.51.155. See [2]. The synopses were copied verbatim from [3]. Just a note to other editors -- we MUST be careful to avoid copyright problems. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 04:46, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Heero's Real Name
Heero's real name isn't Odin Lowe, Jr., but rather an alias Odin Lowe gave him. This is a common misconception among Gundam Wing fans.
- I agree Heero's real name isn't Odin Lowe Jr. And many so-called fans do not grasp this, I think because they are not real fans anyway.
[edit] Series Title
I've seen the term "Mobile Report" used extensively as the title for Gundam Wing. However, Shin Kidou Senki translates out as New Mobile Military History (literally) or New Mobile War Chronicle. Is there a known origin for the english language use of "Mobile Report," or is that a term that originated with the english language fanbase?
[edit] Quatre's Suspected Berber Origin
Hi I was fascinated by the depth of the information on the Gundam Wing seris that Wikipedia has (becuase i haven't found anything like it anywhere else) but i was fascinated by the note about Quatre's middle name. I'm not contesting it but i'd like to hear the rationale, or the logic process, as to how whomever wrote the article came to the conclusion he was probably a Berber. That orgin certainly has a really nice fit. Oh, i was also interested in trying to find out what Quatre's middle name might mean, so if anyone can give me a good link to an english berber dictionary or a list of berber names or words, I'd be extremely grateful! =^_^= Oh, one last thing. I also agree that fans who cannot comprehend that Odin Lowe Jr. isn't Heero's real name are probably not true fans either. Poor Heero probably can't even remember what his parents must have looked like much less what they named him, just like poor Trowa ::gives Trowa and Heero a big hug:: :P Anyway, thank you for your time and cooperation! Email any questions, comments or helpful info to TimeStarPrincess@aol.com 12/27/2005 3:30 AM EST you guys talk like three year olds with hi and stuff and "givees trowa and heero a big hug" i mean if you guys are gonna talk about something be serious for real
[edit] Miscelaneous Comments
From the article: "The producers of the series grudgingly acknowledge the existence of the fanwork, but their reaction appears reserved, particularly due to the large amount of merchandise these fans buy. Some traditional fans of Gundam, largely military sci-fi fans, were less pleased with the show, citing poorly perceived battle sequences and shoddy philosophy." These assertions could do with some references to support them. Anyone got any links to websites? stephenw32768 21:15, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

If you would like to contribute even more then u can make a seperate detailed page for each episode. Thank You! Thut 01:28, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Romefeller Political Party?
I was searching for some soundtrack info on Gundam Wing and recall seeing some sort of actual political party platform for the Romefeller Foundation, has anyone else come across this on google?
[edit] Good Article
I just like to say that i find this article quite of high quality and think someone should atlease nominate it for 'good article' status. Their are constant contributotions everyday. Thanks to all the contributors. Tutmosis 19:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Heero's voice actor link
I'm new to Wikipedia, and still not entirely sure how everything works yet, so all I can do right now is point out errors and hope someone else can fix them. Anyway, the page that comes up from the link to Heero's voice actor, Mark Hildreth, is incorrect. The page that comes up is for a wrestler, when it should be the other page titled Mark Hildreth, who is a voice actor. I just don't know how to change an automatic link. Thanks to anyone who can fix this.
[edit] Character Bases
Where is the section about the main characters and the characters from the UC timeline they are "based off of"? 69.124.143.230 04:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] trowa barton
i don't know if this will make me well not a gundamwing fan but i kind of think that trowas story is sad and confusing to me although i really like the way they drew him and i think his really cool oh and i don't think Cathy is that nice to be his sis and who ever heard of someone choosing his own name i mean i would have named my self what i like in the first place!Trowa barton 09:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
