Wiki Mistakes

[ALAKTORN 170]

I think “dub” should be there… “Joseph Meguire in the Funimation,” in the Funimation what? of course it’s obvious, but it doesn’t sound grammatically correct to me

about the other part… I’m getting confused, isn’t that part about the English dub? if it’s talking about the Japanese original it’s worded confusingly…

[CarpetCrawler 280]

There doesn't need to be "dub" after Funimation since it's already inferred that "Joseph Meguire" is the English version of the name.

No, you're wrong. That was an oversight on my part. It should say "dub" after "Funimation".

Well if someone truly believes there is a mistake, then he or she should fix it right away. I must've overlooked what ALAKTORN was taking about (excuse me for that), but it's up to him/her to edit the info.

I went and edited it, so let's end this conversation, shall we?

why does Fusae’s page use the English name? http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Fusae_Campbell

isn’t she called Kinoshita Fusae?

why does Fusae’s page use the English name? http://www.detective.../Fusae_Campbell

isn’t she called Kinoshita Fusae?

If I recall, Kinoshita is her maiden name.

Someone went in an screwed around with the Kaitou Kid page. I would edit it myself, but tbh I've never edited a wiki so I really don't want to botch it.

eta: it was fixed days ago.

who wrote this? it sounds stupid, most of all the fact that the names end in a vowel: in Japanese, except for “n” it’s impossible for words to end in anything but vowels so using such a thing to claim the names are similar is stupid: Mōri Kogorō, Kudō Shinichi/Yūsaku, Sonoko… I can’t actually remember other names, but see how they all end in a vowel?

Just noticed this. Deleted for not making sense.

OK I have mentioned this (months ago) in post #44 about Vodka's ranking in the Black Organization Template (now I've learned the correct term), but no one replied whether they agree or not.

Since Vodka is obviously Gin's subordinate, I think that it's rather unsuitable for him to be placed in the same ranking as him (there is no proof that he's higher-ranked than other BOs such as Chianti, Korn... either). Therefore, I've done a change to the Template, which is moving him down to the "Other Agents" section, so it would match with the information in the Black Org.'s main article about ranking: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Black_organization#Rank

So now the Template would look something like this: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Template:Black_Organization

It would be really cool if some of you actually made an attempt before asking a dumb question like this. Just sayin'.

That's correct. Good change.

Heiji's wiki page :

He also speaks fluent English.

Was that mentioned in the manga ? Or did that come from someone confusing VA and character ?

[tengaku squared 291]

I think there was an anime episode (a manga-based episode, I believe) where Heiji speaks fluent 'English'.

[Wakarimashita 137]

His VA speaks english, but that doesn't automatically mean the character is fluent.

[tengaku squared 291]

His VA speaks english, but that doesn't automatically mean the character is fluent.

I'm pretty sure that Gosho wrote that into the manga as well, Heiji speaking English.

[ALAKTORN 170]

Heiji's wiki page :

I think that in the anime, when Heiji investigates that FBI woman thinking she’s Vermouth (or whatever it was, I didn’t understand that part…), he went “you know Japanese well even though you’re trying to fake it”, and she went “you too are good at English because you replied “yes” (to a question) while in Japanese you would say “no” to mean “yes”” or something like that, maybe it came from there?

Heiji speaks english in volume 34 file 4 and in the anime it's episode 278.

“Adding to the pun, the password for the APTX data is "Shellingford", an unintentional misspelling of "Sherrinford",”

http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/APTX_4869#Name_origin

I’m curious, how was it defined as “Shellingford” rather than “Sherringford”? I’m wondering because in Japanese, there is no difference between R and L, they’re basically the same letter. I find it hard to believe it’s an unintentional misspelling

"Shellingford" was spelled out in English in that chapter when Conan told Haibara how to spell it in the Japanese version. The most common version of protoHolmes today is Sherrinford.

I also undid some of your changes because you altered some sourced statements. Nanatsu no ko does get transliterated as Seven Baby Crows in English even through that is not an exact translation.

[ALAKTORN 170]

wow, that’s a weird mistake about Sherringford

about the Nanatsu no Ko page, where are you getting the “child of seven” translation? my Japanese isn’t very good, but the only translations I see for 七つの子 are either “the seven children” or “the seven baby crows”. for “child of seven” I would expect to see the kanji for age (才/歳) somewhere…

Gosho's English is a bit sketchy, and he may have seen the name in katakana, creating the r --> l error. Additionally, Sherrinford sans g is the most common spelling in English, but Sherringford was used by AC Doyle as well, and it may be the more popular version in Japan.

Regarding Nanatsu no ko, I have not formally studied Japanese, so a second opinion would be preferable. I think I know enough to speak a little about this aspect of the grammar.

• Nanatsu = seven
  
• no = a complicated (to me) part of speech. It functions in several ways depending on what it is being used for. One use is possessiveness. As best I understand, it is somewhat comparable to English once you flip the word order around. In English you would say "belonging of owner", but in Japanese it is "owner no belonging".
  
• ko = child/children. Japanese nouns have no grammatical number built in, so you have to infer from use to determine singularity or plurality. Ko lacks a plurality indicating suffix (like -tachi/dachi) here so it can be child or children.

For Nanatsu no ko, taking ko to be singular results in "child of seven" which, like in English, is taken to mean a child which is seven years old because you don't normally think about children being owned by numbers. I'm not sure if I can properly explain why seven children is a possible translation because I'm not sure if it's using a feminine no, a grammar construct for specifying how many, or a use of the possessive I am not familiar with.

[ALAKTORN 170]

I’m gonna try to get a hold of someone more expert to ask their opinion

and I had forgotten to mention one thing before… in the lyrics section, we have them written as 可愛い in one place, but 可愛 without the final i in all other places, which I don’t think is a word and just seems to be a typo, I’ve “corrected” the rōmaji to be “kawai” for that part instead of “kawaii”, but maybe the correct way is changing the Japanese lyrics to always be 可愛い?
