The descriptions of the imperial characters is quite good, but there needs work on the FPA characters. I've added Julian Minci to the list of central characters, as he becomes the dominant personality in the late half of season 3 and all of season 4 in the FPA side, and I think Greenhill ought have a description there too. Further, I think many of the circle around Yang need better descriptions and be promoted to supporting staff in the section they are listed under. My knowledge of the series is limited to the 4 anime seasons, so perhaps someone with a knowledge of the Mangas could be better at this task. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.224.60 (talk) 03:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

楊威利 in English/Hanyu Pinyin

edit

楊威利. The 威 should be spelt as Wei instead of Wen.

Was this a subbing error? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.115.124.82 (talk) 08:14, 19 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, it's not. Apparently 楊威利 was used in the official Chinese translation for the animated series (how they derived that from Yang Wen-li is beyond me). The author of the original novels, Tanaka Yoshiki, however had intended Yang Wen-li to be written as 楊文里, although this never appeared in the novels themselves as all names were rendered in katakana.
