Gate of time
is it true that there are to sailor plutos one garding the gates of time and one with the other sailors?
- Ummm, No They are the same person... --Lego3400 22:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've actually wondered about this, too. My current understanding is that they are the same person, but from different parts of her life, and they coexist due to time travel. If someone can clear this up further I'd appreciate it! --Masamage 20:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- From what I gather the "gates of time" are actually not themselves in the time stream. Thus, by having been at the gates at any given moment, she is always there. Also, I would like to take a second here to officially declare a pox on the IAU ;-P Shador5529 15:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Foreign names really needed?
Please discuss here whether to include foreign names when they do not match the english name. Thanks. -- ReyBrujo 03:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Princesses Article
Just so you all know, I've made a new article at Princesses (Sailor Moon). The merge notices are gone now, because that group of stubs has been cleared up. Now that it's done, please feel free to edit and cite to your heart's content! ^_^ -Masamage 20:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Consistency
This article is being edited for consistency with the Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino articles, as part of the new WikiProject, and as discussed in Talk:Sailor Moon. Stay tuned! --Masamage 18:54, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Mostly done, as are Haruka Tenoh and Michiru Kaioh. I'm still planning on rewriting the 'Profile' and 'Variations' sections, but will take something of a break first.
- The Outer Senshi profiles really need new lead images. If you check out the Inners bios, they all match; we're looking for a set with that kind of consistancy and quality, if it's at all possible. Please look around! --Masamage 19:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Controversy Related to Pluto's Planetary Status
I removed this from the article:
On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union declared that Pluto itself was no longer a planet, but may be as yet considered a plutonian object, a dwarf planet, or some other Kuiper Belt object. Official production of Sailor Moon had ended well before that date and will probably not be affected by this decision. However, it is likely that any future incarnations including Sailor Pluto, even if only in fan fiction will have to find ways to address this controversy to maintain consistency of most of the Sailor Senshi being named for planets, with exceptions for Sailor Moon herself, Chibiusa, and ChibiChibi.
I'm sorry, but I really don't think it belongs here. Let's discuss, though. --Masamage 16:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I am the one who added the section. Please give a reason before you delete an edit which is in fact relevant given that many fans are curious about this event's effect on the character. Because this character had so much prominence in the series, she was named after a *planet*, so it does matter whether or not Pluto is now considered a planet, even if the canon does not change. Fan discussions and fan fiction do change, so it is an issue. If someone cannot cite a legitimate reason not to include it by the end of the day, I'm putting it back up.

- See, I think it does deserve mention. Perhaps I am way too much of a fanboi, but this was the first thing I thought of when I read about the IAU decision. (Actually, it was: "Those expletive fools. They've just expletived up Sailormoon.") Shador5529 17:38, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- The controversy isn't over whether Setsuna Meioh is a senshi, but the status of "Pluto" as a marker of a significant senshi in the SM universe when Pluto is no longer a planet. Someone that important wasn't meant to be named after a dwarf planet. It should at least be acknowleged, if nothing else with a "It doesn't matter for the canon, but it does for fandom discourse" notation. Lothar76 18:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
The IAU probably just never got together in the sailormoon universe to demote Pluto. LOL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.100.72.78 (talk)
- I'd buy that, haha. The thing is that many of the other smaller object do in fact have Senshi--for example, Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Juno. So I don't think it's at all weird that Pluto has one. I think her being part of the Sailor Team is probably just 'cause she's so freakin' powerful, what with controlling time and all. --Masamage 16:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Where the heck did you find Sailors Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Juno. That sounds vaguely reminiscent of the Amazoness Quartet, but I thought they just became ordinary humans after they quit working for Queen Nehelenia, not Senshi. And if they did become Senshi, where were they in Stars? Of, course it's been a while since I saw the series, so maybe watching it again would help. Or is this a Manga only thing? Shador5529 17:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- It is a manga thing. Amazoness Quartet has a picture right at the top; they're the guardians of Sailor Chibi Moon. They don't stick around, though; I'm not sure where they end up. --Masamage 17:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
