I recommend a merge of these articles since they are the same and for the topics to be better organized.--Hollow ichigo 16:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree, there is no point having two of the same articles. One should be a re-direct to the other.Sylvanelite 00:52, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I swapped the Berserk Fury and Berserk Führer pages. It didn't seem to make sense having the title "Berserk Führer" and then continuously call it the "Berserk Fury" in the actual article. Sylvanelite 09:56, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. The Führer name is also a mite...well, I don't have a problem with it in the context of Zoids because I know Japan's habit of going "COOL GERMAN WORDS YAAAAY", but it could easily sound bad outside of that context to passing visitors new to the fandom :p. (It's also a pain to type, because UIM partially broke my compose key. Sigh.) Pointytilly 12:23, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
We need a standard naming system. The article for stuff like Sinker and Salamander is using the Japanese names, but now this one is American, and so is the Warshark article... I just think we need a standard.--Azimuth727 19:51, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
I think Japanese names are the easiest to go by, unless they're particularly unfortunate. (My personal nominations for unfortunate would be BF and Merda) Wardick I just think is funny. Though that does raise the question of which name to use overall...and if we use US ones, that sticks us with things like Atak Kat D:. Pointytilly 20:59, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
To avoid unnecessary subjectivity, How about using the Japanses name by default and then overriding it with the "anime names" since they are easily the most well-known source (obviously excluding Genesis at this point in time). Not to mention that almost all supporting media is horribly inconsistent and/or poorly translated and/or discontinuous. If something has more than one anime name, just use the one that makes the most common sense. Slax01 21:19, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
My reasoning is to use the name that features most in the article. The first line in this article read The Berserk Fury (Berserk Führer in the Japanese release). Which seemed a bit odd if the page was "Berserk Führer". Plus, the name Fury is much more predominant over Führer in the article. For a more general convention, I'd say use the English names unless where consistency is a problem (Sabre Tiger/Zaber Fang for example). Sylvanelite 21:25, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

I like the Japanese by default, anime where better-known by that compromise, even if poor Hellrunner is stuck being called...um, well, merda then. Maybe we need a thing in the forum for a votediscussion on possible options? Pointytilly 21:27, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

BFSE

Just a request, and a bit of a tip. Personally I think we need some better scans of the Berserk Führer Shadow Edge, and Liger Zero Ceasar the King than what we have now, which don't properly show the zoid in question's appearence in contrast to the standard issue.--

Neither of them are shown alongside a standard Zero or BF in-story, and the manga likes action shots more than show-off-exact-bits-of-Zoid shots like woah. If you have a suggestion for a better page to use from the manga I can try to get it, though D:. Pointytilly 07:33, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
