'RG Veda' redirects to 'Rig Veda'. What would be the best way to deal with that - removing the redirect, or a disambiguation page? Kujie 22:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"RG Veda" leads to this article, but "Rg Veda" doesn't. I think a disambiguation page would be best. --KagamiNoMiko 09:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How come...

How come Ashura is called a girl in the anime and he in this article? This question is not about gender-neutral pronouns. It's about character and the stylistics of how Ashura is depicted in CLAMP's work. Nor is the question about "contention" about which pronoun to use. Choosing a gender-revealing personal pronoun in mandatory in English when discussing human beings in polite or formal discourse, and the choice carries implications (which I can discuss another time) -- and that is what I want to know about. What is intended or meant by calling Ahura he?

I read somewhere -- I forgotten where, so I'm asking -- that CLAMP's RG Veda was based on Japanese folklore versions of the story. Any references to that, anyone?

"RG Veda" is loosely based on the Rig Veda - in the sense that CLAMP arbitrarily chose names and a few relationships, according to the interview in "CLAMP no Kiseki". They mixed this with a healthy dose of Buddhist mythology and their own story, and got "RG Veda". As for Ashura, he is said to be sexless in volume 9/10 of the manga, when it becomes a plot point for him to be so so he can't procreate, which is Ashura-oh's punishment for defying destiny. Before he knows that, however, Ashura-oh calls Ashura his son - not his daughter, not simply his child. So it makes sense to use the male pronoun for him rather than the female, in the absence of a gender-neutral one. --KagamiNoMiko (talk) 10:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Rg-veda-7.jpg

Image:Rg-veda-7.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Bushinshō and shitennō

I don't know how the English version of the manga translated these two terms, so I used the Japanese ones. It would be nice if someone could substitute them and also add the kanji for the original terms at the first occurrence. --KagamiNoMiko (talk) 23:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
