Character Names in Episode Titles

Alright, bringing this up because this is inconsistent in our titles overall. Are we using Western order name style (given, family) in episode titles or Japanese order name style (family, given)? --skyechan

I would normally go with the Western style here to keep things standard with the rest of the wiki but maybe if you gave a concrete example, I could have a better idea. --Maurice 01:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Western ordered:

• Kogoro Mouri, Suspect
• Shinichi Kudo's New York Case
• Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure
• The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki
• Lawyer Eri Kisaki's Testimony
• Deduction Showdown! Shinichi vs. Subaru Okiya

Japanese ordered:

• Edogawa Conan Kidnapping Case
• Mouri Kogoro's Imposter
• Hattori Heiji's Desperate Situation!
• The Target is Mouri Kogoro
• Three Days with Hattori Heiji
• Hattori Heiji vs. Kudo Shinichi: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope
• Murderer, Kudou Shinichi <---also note the spelling of Kudo here.
• The Day Mouri Kogoro Ceased Being a Detective

Ok, yup. I think we should use the Western order style for many reasons. The main one is that from the start we had to choose between either using the full Japanese style or Western style but not a mix of both. Since we've been converting everything to Western style so far (e.g. translations, names, etc...), it would be best to keep the standard going (question of best practice). Another reason would be our audience, which is used to the Western-style transliterations of Japanese media. --Maurice 22:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

269-270

Do 269-270 show up as a redlink for everyone else? I created this article, and it shows up as a redlink on my browser, even after my cache is cleared. It even shows up that way on Internet Explorer, which I NEVER use. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem... CarpetCrawler^{message me} 07:56, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
