Wikipedia:WikiProject Sailor Moon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Sailor Moon WikiProject! We created this project in order to better organize information in articles related to Sailor Moon, a metaseries consisting of anime, manga, musicals, tokusatsu, and video games.
This page and its subpages contain our suggestions on making these articles consistent with one another. It is hoped that this project will help to focus our efforts and those of other Wikipedians.
Please feel free to start editing any of our articles! If you want to become a part of the project, just add your name to the list below, and add your User page to Category:WikiProject Sailor Moon participants. Or, if you want to use our userbox, place {{User WP Sailor Moon}} on your User page instead.
One of the best ways to get involved is to join in the discussion on our talk page. We'd love to see you there!
If you edit a Sailor Moon article, please make sure that the template {{WikiProject Sailor Moon}} is at the top of its talk page, followed by the the {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} template. That helps us stay organized.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.
Thanks for your interest!
[edit] Scope
Our project encompasses information about all Japanese and English variations of Sailor Moon, including:
- Sailor Moon as a cultural phenomenon
- The anime, manga, musicals, tokusatsu, and video games
- The notable cast and crew of the above works
- The Sailor Moon universe and characters
- Codename wa Sailor V (within the one article as much as possible)
- Use of mythology, geology, and other inspirations within the series
- English language variations on the metaseries
Our scope does not include:
- Fanfiction and fan culture
- Doujinshi
- Any other form of speculation
- Variations in any language other than Japanese and English

[edit] Stylistic guidelines
[edit] Article structure
See Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and Manga#Article_structure for inspiration.
For each page type, we have a "template" article. These articles should be the focus of structural improvements, which can then be imitated in other articles of the same type.
- Sailor Senshi bios - Applies to every bio in Category:Sailor Team, plus Mamoru Chiba. Similar articles which won't have as much info to work with are ChibiChibi, Sailor Galaxia, and Princess Kakyuu. Template article: Ami Mizuno.
- Other characters - The Sailor Starlights and Cats (Sailor Moon), group articles which will need special treatment. Kousagi, who lives in the Parallel Sailor Moon article. Queen Serenity, who lives in the Silver Millennium article.
- Villain groups - Major villain organizations in each story arc: Dark Kingdom, Makaiju, Black Moon Clan, Death Busters, Dead Moon Circus, Shadow Galactica. Template article: Dark Kingdom.
- Minor villain groups - No template established. Shitennou, Ayakashi Sisters, Witches 5, Amazon Trio, Amazoness Quartet, Sailor Animamates.
- Special treatment villain - Chaos.
- Movie articles - Sailor Moon R movie, Sailor Moon S movie, and Sailor Moon SuperS movie. Template article: Sailor Moon SuperS movie.
- Plot arc articles - Mostly not created yet. Discuss on talk page. Template article: Sailor Stars.
- Individual musicals articles - Not created yet.
- Episode summaries have been done away with. You can find their edit histories at Sailor Moon episode 001 and so on. Please do not recreate them without consensus.
Other articles within scope are generally going to be unique.
[edit] Other notes
- Use Japanese names in Western order—Usagi Tsukino, not Serena, not Tsukino Usagi. (This is also a WP:Anime guideline.)
- When discussing the story, present tense should be used when refering to any event during the series timeline. Past tense should be used only for events happening before the main story (such as the Silver Millennium, or a character's childhood).
- Italicize every instance of the Sailor Moon or Sailor V series names.
- The word Senshi and related terms (Sailor Senshi, Sailor Soldier, Pretty Soldier, Outer Senshi, etc.) should be capitalized. It is treated as a loanword and not italicized, except when used in the context of being Japanese (ie. Sērā Senshi).
- Italicize uncommon Japanese words (including Shitennou) per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Foreign_terms. When possible, use English instead--"transformation" rather than "henshin", "voice actor" rather than "seiyū".
- Keep your versions distinct. Begin with a general discussion of your subject, naming the things in common across all adaptations of the series. Then get into the specific variations, starting with the manga, then the anime, then the live-action series. If some fact applies only to one or two versions, make that clear.
[edit] Hierarchy definition
See also Category:Sailor Moon.
Project categorization:
- Category:WikiProject Sailor Moon
- Category:WikiProject Sailor Moon templates
- Category:WikiProject Sailor Moon categories
- Category:WikiProject Sailor Moon articles
- Category:WikiProject Sailor Moon participants
Should we get rid of the 'categories' category?
[edit] Open tasks
This to-do list is alive and active! Please look it over, and if you notice anything missing, add it in so we know what to work on! If something has been definitively completed, feel free to remove it. If you have a moment to work on any of them, all help is appreciated!
[edit] Ultimate goals
- Create a well-organized corner of Wikipedia
- Gradually increase the quality of each section
- Get the Sailor Moon article featured!
- Get other articles featured!
[edit] General projects
- Sailor Moon page--needs info on critical reception (we're gathering it now on the talk page)
- Character bios
- Villain groups
- Info on musicals
- Manga info
- Create three more arc pages (discuss first)
[edit] Smaller tasks
For when you have a small amount of time...
- Cite anything you can in any article! This is more important than adding info!
- Add verified name name katakana to Shadow Galactica.
- Look for and suggest better (matching!) lead images for the Outer Senshi
- Change musical refs from "fifth musical" etc. to the name of the actual musical. Try [1]
- Replace any Wikilink to an episode article with a ref containing the episode number (and, if you like, a link to an external summary).
- Bring Naoko Takeuchi into line with Template:Biography.
- Participate in discussions (see below)
[edit] Articles that require attention
May include FACs, articles for deletion, or anything with a 'cleanup' template.
Currently under review:
Plot-related cleanup:
- Dead Moon Circus - Needs cleanup! See talk page for details.
- Death Busters - Plot info severely needs to be moved out of character bios into Sailor Moon S#Story section.
- Sailor Moon R movie - Was written as an article about Fiore; this needs to be fixed.
- Sailor Moon S movie - Badly needs rewriting.
- Sailor Moon S - needs condensing and OOU perspective.
Unlaunched:
- /List of Sailor Moon items - In progress, not yet in the main article space.
- /Sailor_Moon_volume_01 just started manga summaries by volume needs lots of information, editing, etc and talk to launch.
Other:
- Sailor Moon musicals - Doesn't say much.
- Shitennou (Sailor Moon) - Very messy.
- Chaos (Sailor Moon) - Stub.
- Sailor Moon video games - Needs cleanup and more info.
- Talisman (Sailor Moon) - Needs manga info and sources. Also, the Grail section is too short and contradicts itself.
- Makaiju - Very messy and very little info. Needs A LOT of work!
- Sailor Moon S - Needs cleanup, shortening, and more citations. Also a manga section and a both-section.
[edit] Current discussions
- Talk:Sailor Senshi - How does the Sailor Generic image look?
- /List of Sailor Moon items - Should these be divided into separate character bios and arc summaries?
- Talk:Mamoru Chiba - Tuxedo Mask or Tuxedo Kamen?
- Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Sailor Moon - Anything you want. Current topics of discussion include:
- Uncertain spelling of some villain names
- Possible elimination of episode articles in favor of fully fleshed-out lists. Done. This notice will go away in a day or two.
- Should we be using the terms "Inner Senshi" and "Outer Senshi"?
[edit] Achievements
- Ami Mizuno - became a good article on March 31, 2007!
[edit] Resources
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Sailor Moon/References - Highly useful for quick, copy-paste citation of pretty much any SM manga, and then some.
[edit] Watchlist
A list containing most of the articles associated with WikiProject Sailor Moon can be found here. If you do not wish to add all these articles to your personal watchlist, you may now keep track of them using this function. Please note that the watchlist does not yet contain our images and media; feel free to add them. This list must be maintained manually, so whenever a new article is created, please be sure to add a link to that article as well as to its talk page!
(Thank you to WikiProject Dragonlance for the idea!)
