I just discovered this wiki, and I am happy that after starting a thread at Hello! Online back in December 2010, and then creating the very first English language wiki on Generasia that same month, someone decided to create a wiki for the English Wikipedia. I only wish it were me. Anyway, I feel calling this wiki "Ebichu" is incorrect. While this is the official nickname, Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku is the correct name of the group. I type the nickname EbiChu, with a capital C due to there being an anime called "Ebichu", which this group does not have anything to do with. Also, shouldn't Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku be labeled a "group" and not "band"? They do not play any instruments (outside of school activities or as a hobby). The girls in this group only sing and dance on stage. Perhaps I am being picky, but as the first person to ever write about these girls in English, I feel entitled to be picky.

At the moment when I created the page, there was a banner saying "Ebichu" (only the first letter was capital) on the group's official page. And their T-shirts say "EBICHU" (all caps) in the "Oh My Ghost?: Watashi ga Akuryō ni Natte mo" music video (e.g. at 1:07). So currently "Ebichu" and "EBICHU" have been used at least twice, while I've never seen neither "EbiChu", nor "Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku" officially used. That's why I renamed the page to Ebichu (band), after having created it as Shiritsu Ebisu Chūgaku. As for the word "band", it seems to be a Wikipedia convention to use the word when disambiguating articles on musical groups. Moscowconnection (talk) 21:52, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I see your point about the spellings of Ebichu and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku. (A friend living in Japan mentioned the group to me in an email in 2010, and she spelled the name "Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku". I did a search back then and found no information on the group in English, which is what prompted me to start a thread for Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku. I then got a response or two with additional information and used that to start the first wiki for English readers.) However, in the same music video you can see Rika's name written on her left sleeve in all capitals at 0:17, and Mirei's name on her left sleeve at 1:42 also in all capitals. I'm not sure an all capitals version of Ebichu is official, or just used for stylistic purposes on shirts.
Here it is, where it is said to use the word "band" for disambiguation: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (music)#Bands, albums and songs. As for which article name to choose, I'm not sure. Probably, "Shiritsu Ebisu Chūgaku" is preferable, as it is the Hepburn romanization of the official name of the group, but it looks like they use "Ebichu" as the English name themselves. I've just added the same categories to the redirect Shiritsu Ebisu Chūgaku, so if anyone wants to find the article, they will.--Moscowconnection (talk) 09:02, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have just moved the article from Shiritsu Ebisu Chūgaku to Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku. They wrote "Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku" in the music video for "Ume" and it seems to be as official as we can get right now. Kawaii girl Japan uses both "Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku" and "Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku", but never writes it with a diacritic. I am open to any suggestions. I decided to perform the move as non-controversial cause I didn't want to go through all the formalities and because the article wiil soon appear on the main page of the English Wikipedia. (See Template:Did you know nominations/Team Syachihoko.) I think that getting rid of the diacritic will result in more views and will therefore benefit the article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What do the numbers to the left of the members' names signify? And why is there no number 2? If the numbers do have some special significance, then I think an explanatory note needs to be added. --DAJF (talk) 05:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
They have so-called "attendance numbers". (As I understand, it's just like it's done at Japanese schools.) There's no number 2 because Reina Miyazaki graduated in 2011. Yes, I think I need to write an explanatory note. But I need to find an explanation, which is not easy. As I understand, they were initially given numbers in the order they joined the group, but then the management decided to fill the gaps resulting from several members having left, and they held some kind of election between the members themselves to choose who would get the lowest numbers. And then Reina left. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:50, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
