Talk:Meiko Mochizuki

DigiDestined
We don't know if she's DigiDestined, a Tamer, or just someone holding a Digimon, though, unless I've missed something. 22:13, November 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, usually when humans are depicted with a Digimon it's a case of partnership, specially in the Adventure universe. As for "Tamer", as far as Adventure is concerned, that term has only been used for stuff related to Ryo Akiyama. Also, we now have this poster from the theaters. 02:04, November 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Good lord Meikuumon looks out of place next to the other Digimon. I still really don't think we need to be calling her DigiDestined, though, as we don't know if she was "chosen" like the other kids were. 15:59, November 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Just saw Tri on Crunchyroll and she's got a Adventure Digivice, she's DigiDestined alright. Chimera-gui (talk) 04:29, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Name
So, an user just moved the pages without bringing it up on the talk page. Crunchyroll uses "Mochizuki", but it also uses the spelling "Jo", that contradicts the official romanization used by the movie itself. Do we want to say Crunchyroll is not a reliable source for name romanizations? This would affect Meicoomon's article, as we use Crunchyroll as a source for the romanization. 15:21, November 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Crunchyroll is localizing the material in its own manner, and as far as I know, was given official purview to do so. Since it's subbing, rather than dubbing, I think it would be secondary to a dub name, but for our purposes it should count as a localized name. Romanizations within the direct canon would overrule the subs. Therefore, since Joe has already recieved a dub name and an in-canon romanization, "Jo" would be merely an "additional name", while "Mochizuki" and "Meicoomon" are the prime localized names (meaning we can still have separate "Japanese names") until we receive a dub. As it stands, "Mochidzuki" is the primary romanization I can find in use for that last name, and I'm fine with "Meicoomon" as it makes the pronunciation clearer than Maicoomon -- once Ma/eicoomon shows up in the DRB, though, we'll go with what it says. 16:41, November 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * A romanization like "Mochidzuki" has never appeared in real life, unlike "Mochizuki". An the letter combination "dz" has never been used, unlike "ts". Why would the creators of Digimon Adventure tri be the first ones to do so? CAJH (talk) 21:08, November 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * That is completely false. Here's someone using it in a professional context, no otaku involved, before Digimon even started airing:
 * [53] K. Mochidzuki, A. Sakoda, M. Suzuki, Measurement of the hydrothermal reaction rate of cellulose using novel liquid-phase thermogravimetry, Thermochim. Acta 348 (2000) 69-76.
 * Crunchyroll's subs use "Meiko Mochizuki". "Mochidzuki" isn't used widely considering づ and ず are homophones in standard Japanese and on top of that they're switched around for each other anyway (in this instance it seems Toei went with an archaic pronunciation of もちづき). Most people around the net are using "Mochizuki". Also, づ isn't "dzu" in wapuro anyway, it's "du".— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 03:33, November 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Right, Crunchyroll's subs are our "localized name". The "Japanese" name is distinct from that. We also don't pay heed to what most people around the net use, because we want our wiki to be as accurate as possible. In addition, I'm sorry for misspeaking about hepburn, but since G-SANtos has been standardizing all the romaji across the wiki, we are by default using the romanization system he was rolling with, which appears to be "Form B". G-SANtos, if I'm incorrect about which one you're using, let me know. Personally, I prefer using the wapuro variant that WWWJDIC uses, for pretty obvious reasons. 03:51, November 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * I had never heard of Wāpuro rōmaji. CAJH (talk) 08:06, November 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * づ is still zu. And Hepburn makes more sense to English speakers than whatever you guys were doing here that I can't even tell what's going on. You guys really went out of your way to figure out how to romanize things. For example, を is never used in katakana to be "wo". If someone needs to make the English sound "Wo" they use ウォ like in "Wars" (ウォーズ Wōzu), but you guys just use the English localized name and the Japanese official English name anyway rather than Hepburn for every other page so why should this be any different? もちづき is "Mochizuki", even though づ is a voiced つ.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 08:48, November 25, 2015 (UTC)
