Common Mistakes with Sailormoon Info

The most common mistakes are usually confusion and mixing over the several different versions of Sailor Moon available. Other mistakes come from dumb rumors that usually start because of misinterpretations of Japanese material.

Mixing English and Japanese Info

Watch for going back and forth between calling the Sailors Senshi and then Scouts. Stick to one or the other.

Avoid mixing ideas and plot information from the english dub with the original Japanese. The show wasn't just translated to english, there were a lot of things actually changed and seriously altered.

Suggestion on handling Japanese info and English info on one site: Keep them on separate pages. Use English names and info on one, Japanese names and info on the other. Don't try this stupid "Usagi/Serena" thing.

Our Stance on "English-info-based" Pages

We DO NOT want to kill off sites which concentrate on the English Adaption. Dic and CWI made a version of the series, thus the info for that series exists. However, if you're making a page about the English Version, stick to what has done so far. Don't try to dub Sailor Stars on your own!

Anime vs. Manga Info
Just like mixing English info with Japanese info is not good, mixing the info from the Sailormoon anime and manga is also a no-no. There are a lot of detailed differences in the plot and even differences in characters traits. Always make it clear that your are talking about either the anime or the manga. If your plan to have a lot of info from both the anime and the manga it's a good idea to try and split them into seperate areas or pages to help avoid confusion.

Dumb Rumors
It would take way too long to go into all the dumb rumors we have heard over the years, so try to always keep one rule in mind. If it sounds unbelievable, it may just be wrong. Sure there are some werid story lines and ideas in Sailor Moon, but if you run across something you never heard of before and it sounds quite werid, chances are it is. Write the author of the website and ask he/she to verify any information you may think is wrong. Ask where they found this information. If you doubt their answer, ask another website author. In the end, if you are still not sure, don't use the info on your page! It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run if it is proven to be a rumor.

If all of that isn't enough, check out our Past Reviews, Rants, Lemures, Case Study, plus The Help Desk. Each of those sections often contain details on past and present dumb rumors that are circulating around the Internet.
