Pandora Hearts (#10436)

I was adding Emily Bindiger as "Insert Song" for episode 25 (task as "Insert Song", as per this post). However, after adding it, I noticed that Eri Ito was credited with "Insert Song Performance" (there is no precision listed, so without searching the OST, I cannot place which song she performed). I did not want to note either as an error, as I did not know which one would be deemed the correct method of input (I have seen other insert songs credited, but I do not remember where, to reference them).

As I noticed this, I noticed some other errors/confusing entries on the PH page, mainly under the staff.

1. The importance of characters is missing breaks between the sections. It appears to still be formatted correctly (i.e. main characters, secondary characters, everyone else), but at first glance it's one giant list of names.

2. From my understanding, names separated with a "/" are meant to denote multiple identities (i.e. "Tsukino Usagi / Sailor Moon"). There are two instances of this on the PH cast list: "Charlotte/Lotti" and "Reo/Leo". Both of these are single characters with single identities.

For the former, Charlotte is her full and proper name (only used in flashbacks), and Lotti is a shortened nickname of it, primarily used in the series (I would change this credit to "Lotti (Charlotte)", if both names must be included).

For the latter, it is alternate romanicizations of name. According to the manga guidebook (contents listed here), his name is "Reo", yet, in an episode title, it is spelled "Leo" (I would go with the anime episode title (screenshot can be provided upon request), as this is the anime page, and not the manga).

3. Also different from the manga spelling, the guide lists "Elliot", whereas the anime episode title (same as above) lists "Eliot". I can mark as errors both the character credits and the episode title once I get confirmation that we should be following the anime spelling (and can provide said screenshot as source).


I think there were a few other questions/confusions I had about the page, but I have to go to work, so I'll leave it here for now.

Dan is working on an improved feature, and breaks disappear because of it. Please be patient while the issue gets fixed.

Aaa, yeah, I noticed it on a few other pages while browsing today, too. I just hadn't noticed it before.

For point 2, the guideline for nicknames to put them in inverted commas, i.e. Charlotte "Lotti" (although this works better then they have a surname also)

Quote:
If the character has an alias (a second persona under which he/she is known), put it after the "real" name and separate the two with a slash. e.g. "Serena/Sailor Moon" or "Mousse/Duck". Note that this isn't the same as nicknames (Harriet "Hattie" Bartholomew)

I added Eri Ito to the page, and that info I took from her blog. Now I'm thinking she may just be apart of the chorus and hasn't performed any set songs. Bindiger I know did a song and it's on the second OST. But I'm not fully sure my self.

I wasn't questioning Eri's place on the page, it was more which was the correct task to use, "image song" or "image song performance".


And I'll go mark as error the "/" names, since they're not aliases.
