Albrecht von Graefe (ophthalmologist)

Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Albrecht von Gräfe, often Anglicized to Graefe (22 May 1828 – 20 July 1870), was a Prussian pioneer of German ophthalmology. Graefe was born in Finkenheerd, Brandenburg, the son of Karl Ferdinand von Graefe (1787–1840). He was the father of the far right politician Albrecht von Graefe (1868–1933).

Background
At the University of Berlin, Graefe studied philosophy, logic, natural sciences and anatomy, under notable names such as Dove, H. Rose, Müller, and Schlemm, eventually obtaining his medical doctorate in 1847. He continued his studies at Prague, Paris, Vienna and London, and having devoted special attention to ophthalmology, in 1850, he began to practice as an oculist in Berlin. Here, he founded a private institution for the treatment of eyes. During the same year, he received his habilitation with the thesis Über die Wirkung der Augenmuskeln.

In 1858 he became an associate professor of ophthalmology at the Charité in Berlin, where in 1866 he was appointed a full professor. In 1870, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

In 1862 he married Anna Knuth. The couple had three children, two of whom died in infancy.

Graefe died in Berlin from pulmonary tuberculosis on 20 July 1870. His grave is preserved in the Protestant Friedhof II der Jerusalems- und Neuen Kirchengemeinde (Cemetery No. II of the congregations of Jerusalem's Church and New Church) in Berlin-Kreuzberg, south of Hallesches Tor.

Contributions
Graefe made many contributions to ophthalmological science, being considered one of the more important (if not the most important) figures in 19th century ophthalmology. Among his achievements were a method of treating glaucoma and a new operation for cataract.

He introduced iridectomy for glaucoma, identified retardation of the eyelid in Basedow's disease, and described the combination of retinitis pigmentosa and perceptive deafness in Usher's syndrome. Also, he provided early descriptions of optic neuritis (1860), chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (1868). and papilledema (involving four patients with brain tumor and a swelling of the optic disc). In addition, he is credited with design of a specialized knife, the "Von Graefe knife", for cataract surgery. This knife was used till the 1960s. The eponymous "Gräfe's sign" is associated with Graves-Basedow disease.

In 1855 he founded the Archiv für Ophthalmologie, in which Carl Ferdinand von Arlt (1812–1887) and Franciscus Donders (1818–1889) collaborated. In 1863 he founded the Deutsche Ophtalmologische Gesellschaft.

Aylwin-class destroyer

The Aylwin class was a class of four destroyers in the United States Navy; all served as convoy escorts during World War I. The Aylwins were the second of five "second-generation" 1000-ton four-stack destroyer classes that were front-line ships of the Navy until the 1920s. They were known as "thousand tonners". All were scrapped in 1935 to comply with the London Naval Treaty.

All four ships were built by William Cramp & Sons in Philadelphia.

These ships were built concurrently with the Cassin-class destroyer and in some references are considered to be in that class. In design and armament they were essentially repeats of the Cassin class.

Design
Unlike the other "thousand tonner" classes, the Aylwins were not a significant improvement on the previous class.

Armament
They retained the Cassins' armament of four 4 in/50 caliber Mark 9 guns and eight 18-inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes in twin broadside mounts. Compared with the previous Paulding-class destroyer of the "flivver" type, the increased gun armament reflected the increasing size of foreign destroyers they might have to fight. The broadside (two twin mounts each side) torpedo armament reflected the General Board's desire to have some torpedoes remaining after firing a broadside. The class was probably equipped with one or two depth charge racks each for anti-submarine convoy escort missions in World War I. Benham was equipped with four twin 4-inch mounts in 1917, but these were replaced with single mounts before she deployed overseas. By 1929 all except Parker had a 3 in/23 caliber anti-aircraft gun added.

Engineering
The ships were equipped with four White-Forster boilers supplying steam to two Cramp direct-drive steam turbines driving two shafts for 16,000 shp as designed; all of the class exceeded this on trials. Compound steam engines could be clutched to the shafts for economical medium-speed cruising. Aylwin achieved 29.6 kn on trials at 16,286 shp; this was typical for the others of the class. Normal fuel oil capacity was 307 tons.

A request for assistance
Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 03:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Çankırı

Çankırı, historically known as Gangra (Greek: Γάγγρα), is a city in Turkey, about 140 km northeast of Ankara. It is situated about 800 m (2500 ft) above sea level. It is the seat of Çankırı Province and of Çankırı District. Its population is 90,564 (2021).

History
Çankırı was known in antiquity as Gangra (Γάγγρα), and later Germanicopolis (Γερμανικόπολις). The city has also been known as Changra, Kandari, Kanghari, or Kangri. Α town of Paphlagonia that appears to have been once the capital of Paphlagonia and a princely residence, for it is known from Strabo that Deiotarus Philadelphus (before 31 BC–5/6 AD), the last king of Paphlagonia, resided there. Notwithstanding this, Strabo describes it as only "a small town and a garrison".

According to 1st-century BC writer Alexander the Polyhistor the town was built by a goat herder who had found one of his goats straying there; but this origin is probably a mere philological speculation as gangra signifies "a goat" in the Paphlagonian language. Gangra was absorbed into the Roman province of Galatia upon the death of Deiotarus in 6/5 BC. The earlier town was built on the hill behind the modern city, on which are the ruins of a late fortress, while the Roman city occupied the site of the modern city. In the writings of the 2nd-century AD Greco-Roman writer Ptolemy, the city is referred to as Germanicopolis (Greek: Γερμανικόπολις). It was named Germanicopolis, after Germanicus or possibly the emperor Claudius, until the time of Caracalla. In Christian times, Gangra was the metropolitan see of Paphlagonia. Hypatios, bishop of Gangra, is considered a saint in the Orthodox Christian tradition. He was killed by Arians on his return from the Council of Nicaea (325 AD), in which he took part.

In the 4th century, the town was the scene of an important ecclesiastical synod, the Synod of Gangra. There is disagreement about the date of the synod, with dates varying from AD 341 to 376. The synodal letter states that twenty-one bishops assembled to take action concerning Eustathius of Sebaste and his followers. The synod issued twenty canons known as the Canons of Gangra; these were declared ecumenical by the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Under these canons, the sect disowned marriage, disparaged the offices of the church, held conventicles of their own, wore a peculiar dress, denounced riches, and affected special sanctity. The synod condemned the Eustathian practices, declaring however that it was not virginity that was condemned, but the dishonouring of marriage; not poverty, but the disparagement of honest and benevolent wealth; not asceticism, but spiritual pride; not individual piety, but dishonouring the house of God.

Over the centuries the settlement witnessed the hegemony of many cultures and races, such as Hittites, Persians, ancient Greeks, Parthians, Pontic Greeks, Galatians, Romans, Byzantine Greeks, up to the Seljuks and finally the Ottoman Turks. Traces from its long past are still visible throughout the city. The continuity of the city's name from ancient times across languages is of note: Hangara for the Arabs, Gagra for the Jews and Tzungra or Kângıri or Çankıri for the Turks.

Climate
Çankırı has a dry summer continental climate (Köppen climate classification: Dsa and Dsb) or a humid continental climate (Trewartha climate classification: Dca and Dcb). Other locations to the north of the city center feature more humid characteristics (Köppen climate classification: Dfa and Dfb). Summers are usually hot and dry and winters are cold and snowy. The rainiest month is May, while the driest month is July.

Agriculture
Various agricultural produce, including wheat, corn, beans, and apples is grown in the farms and fields.

Industry
Most industry is concentrated near the Çankırı city center and the town of Korgun. Other towns included in the larger industrial area of the city are Şabanözü, Çerkeş, Ilgaz, Kurşunlu, and Yapraklı.

Education
Çankırı is home to Çankırı Karatekin University, which was founded in 2007.

François Marius Granet

François Marius Granet (17 December 1775 – 21 November 1849) was a French painter.

Biography
François Marius Granet was born on 17 December 1775 in Aix-en-Provence; his father was a small builder. As a boy his strong desires led his parents to place him, after some preliminary teaching from a passing Italian artist, in a free school of art directed by M. Constantin, a landscape painter of some reputation. In 1793, Granet followed the volunteers of Aix to the siege of Toulon, where he obtained employment as a decorator in the arsenal.

Whilst a lad he had, at Aix, made the acquaintance of the young comte de Forbin, and upon his invitation Granet, in the year 1797, went to Paris. De Forbin was one of the pupils of David, and Granet entered the same studio. Later he got possession of a cell in the convent of Capuchins, which, having served for a manufactory of assignats during the Revolution, was afterwards inhabited almost exclusively by artists. In the changing lights and shadows of the corridors of the Capuchins, Granet found the materials for that one picture to the painting of which, with varying success, he devoted his life.

In 1802, he left Paris for Rome, where he remained until 1819, when he returned to Paris, bringing with him besides various other works one of fourteen repetitions of his celebrated "Chœur des Capucins," executed in 1811. The figures of the monks celebrating mass are taken in this subject as a substantive part of the architectural effect, and this is the case with all Granet's works, even with those in which the figure subject would seem to assert its importance, and its historical or romantic interest. "Stella painting a Madonna on his Prison Wall," 1810 (Leuchtenberg collection); "Sodoma à l'hôpital," 1815 (Louvre); "Basilique basse de St François d'Assise," 1823 (Louvre); "Rachat de prisonniers," 1831 (Louvre); "Mort de Poussin," 1834 (Villa Demidoff, Florence), are among his principal works; all are marked by the same peculiarities, everything is sacrificed to tone.

In 1819, Louis Philippe decorated Granet, and afterwards named him Chevalier de l'Ordre St Michel, and Conservateur des tableaux de Versailles (1826). He became a member of the institute in 1830; but in spite of these honours, and the ties which bound him to M. de Forbin, then director of the Louvre, Granet constantly returned to Rome. In 1821, he presented his painting 'Interior view of the choir in the Church of the Capuchin monastery in the Piazza Barberini in Rome' to Alexander I of Russia. In 1834, Granet was elected an honorary associate of the Imperial Academy of Arts.

After 1848, he retired to Aix, immediately lost his wife, and died himself on 21 November 1849. He bequeathed the greater part of his fortune to his native town and all his collections (including the very fine portrait by Ingres from 1811 ) to the Museum of Aix en Provence, which was renamed the Musée Granet in 1949, the centenary of his death.

Memorial
A museum in the centre of Aix-en-Provence is named after him, the Musée Granet. It was built in 1838, and holds eight paintings by Paul Cézanne.

 * There is now a food table with animal-sourced and plant-sourced examples. With a few exceptions (gelatin) all protein contains leucine.

Dietary requirement for leucine
Information that can be incorporated into the article in some way: The U.S. Institute of Medicine set Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for protein as a whole and for individual amino acids. The adult RDA for protein is pegged to body weight, so it is 0.8 g/kg. For a 70 kg (154 lb) adult the RDA is 56 g/day. Average protein consumption, as determined by results from the last reported National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2013-2014) is approximately 105 g/day for men ages 20-50 and 73 g/day for women in the same age range. Thus, on average, adult men and women consume more than the RDA for protein. The IOM has also established RDAs for individual amino acids. The RDAs for leucine is 42 mg/kg body weight. For the same example 70 kg person the leucine RDA is 2.9 g/day.

Too much on HMB?
Considering HMB is a small fraction of what happens to leucine, there is way too much content on HMB here. HMB has its own article. David notMD (talk) 03:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * On second thought, as the HMB pathways in the text are also in the metabolism figure, I am less inclined to try to delete HMB-related content. David notMD (talk) 15:42, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * HMB is a more pharmacologically active substance than leucine and it's probably leucine's most potent metabolite w.r.t. effects on muscle protein metabolism. That by itself merits an entire level 3 subsection on that metabolite IMO, but I don't really feel like writing it. In any event, the reason it's mentioned so much in the Leucine section is that the entire section was copy/pasted verbatim from the content in beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid and beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid.

Pronunciation: Loo-keen
Although many people pronounce this amino acid as "Loo-seen", the correct pronunciation is "Loo-keen".

The reason is that its name is derived from the greek word for white, being λευκός with a kappa. It's also preferential to pronounce it this way among the international chemistry and biology community to prevent confusion with Lysine, a quite different amino acid.

Same goes for Isoleucine. Please comment on this and if there is a quorum, I'll add it to the lemma.

Alguém pode me dar fonte da celebração á miscigenação e cultura africana? Eu posso estar bêbado, mas eu acho que não teve isso ná época do getúlio.

 * Can someone translate that? Thanx 68.39.174.150 10:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Sure. Here is a translation:

"Can somebody give me a source for the celebration of racial mixing and African culture [in the Brazilian Estado Novo]? I might be out of it [literally, 'drunk'], but I think that wasn't yet around in the time of Getúlio Vargas."

Hope that helps. Diamantina 04:24, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * From what I can tell, it is a poor machine "translation" of the text directly cut and pasted from the Estado Novo article on the Portugese wiki, which was in turn directly cut and pasted in July 2004 from the Estado Novo section of the Getulio Vargas biography article of the Portuguese wiki, which in turn, for that section, looks like it was almost directly cut and pasted, with small modifications, from the original source, the Getulio Vargas biography page at the website of the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV), in Brazil. See: http://www.cpdoc.fgv.br/nav_historia/htm/biografias/ev_bio_getuliovargas.htm  The Vargas article of the Portuguese wiki provides external links  to the FGV website.  Also, it seems that there has been some discussion of copyright issues on the talk page for that article, but it looks like that discussion was about the images in the article, not about the text.  -J. 142.169.152.79 04:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Estado Novo not true fascism
Estado Novo in Portugal or Brazil are not generally characterized by scholars as fascist. They share some common elements and certainly were inspired in part by aspects of fascism but even parts of the New Deal had inspiration from fascist policies. There is a "taxonomical” difficulty in characterizing it as fascism; it is not fascism but at most a “para-fascism”. It is true of both Brazil and Portugal. They are not quite fascist, hence I am removing the template. Mamalujo 18:41, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

POV?
As I read this, I feel as though the writers were either attempting to glorify Vargas by comparing him to Roosevelt, or demonizing Roosevelt by comparing him to a dictator. Should this article be NPOV flagged?--Ahuja91 (talk) 07:13, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Second and Third Republic
Hi, i'm a brazilian editor, and there is some mistakes. The Vargas Era is divided into the Second Republic and the Third Republic, the second being a provisional government, and the third one being a dictatorship. Please fix this.--Arthur Heberle (talk) 18:53, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Fascist state?
I want to add Vargas Era to Category:Fascist state because the policy of the Vargas regime was very fascistic nationalist and corporatist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcisawesomeguy (talk • contribs) 05:11, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Well, that’s your personal opinion and subjective point of view. Provide reliable sources to back up your belief. --49.181.167.102 (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Splitting proposal
I propose that the sections concerning the Second Brazilian Republic and the Third Brazilian Republic be split into two separate pages titled Second Brazilian Republic and Third Brazilian Republic, respectively. At the moment, they both redirect to this page.

The Portuguese Wikipedia contains separate articles for each as well as the Vargas Era article. Furthermore, the two eras have remarkable differences. While both are in the broader range of the Vargas Era and the impact of Getúlio Vargas, the Second Republic was a representative democracy for half the time, and the Estado Novo was, unarguably, a dictatorship. Also, the article only describes the rise of Vargas politically (Rise of Getúlio Vargas) and virtually does not describe the Revolution of 1930 nor the Brazilian Military Junta of 1930, the events that singlehandedly led to the formation of the Second Brazilian Republic and, subsequently, the Vargas Era. These may be considered issues for the article itself to improve upon, but the extra information about the background and decline of the two separate periods would be better suited in their own articles.

Finally, it's hard to mashup both of the periods in one article if one already includes two "periods" within itself (Second Republic). FredModulars (talk) 02:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅ @FredModulars In Brazil the Second and the Third Republics are considered separate regimes, while the Era Vargas is more of a concept from historiography. I was surprised to see that this Wikipedia has no articles for the two republics. Edmundo Soares (talk) 06:25, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Pat Hingle

Additional info
moved here (for future integration) - snoyes 18:20, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC):

 * Pat Hingle (born July 19, 1924)is an American character actor who has appeared in hundreds of television shows and feature films. His first film was On The Waterfront in 1954. He typically plays tough authority figures. Hingle is a close personal friend of Clint Eastwood and has appeared in three of his films, Hang 'em High (1968), The Gauntlet (1977) and Sudden Impact (1983). Mister Hingle served in the United States Navy during both World War II and the Korean War. Hingle was originally to play Burt Lancaster's role in the 1960 film Elmer Gentry (which would win Lancaster an Oscar), but shortly before filming began he suffered a horrible accident. He fell ten stories down a deserted elevator shaft and survived. However, his recovery took over a year. In recent years, Mister Hingle played "Commissioner Gordon" in the Batman series of feature films. Hingle also came to Dodge City as a physician to replace "Doc Adams" who had gone "back east" for additional medical trainingin the "Gunsmoke"television series.

Talk:Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG

Series vs. Season
I'm a little troubled by the idea that the words "series" and "season" can be used interchangably. They mean two different things. "Series" implies a self-contained arc of episodes with a distinct start and end, while "season" tends to imply that the episodes run on without a conclusion of story arcs, etc. In this context I feel "series" is the appropiate word, given the distinct and self-contained plotlines and themes of both SAC and 2nd Gig; therefore I intend to have an anti-"season" crusade soon, unless someone can come up with a reason for me not to. YourMessageHere 21:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, the official English website does use the word "season" ( http://ghostintheshell2ndgig.manga.com/ ) Vechs (talk) 05:31, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Cartoon Network
Cartoon Network was showing episodes of 2nd Gig in 2004. I particularly remember Grass Labyrinth, unless there was an episode similar to it in the first season Hackwrench 19:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * You're misremembering then ... 2nd Gig wasn't even dubbed into English in 2004, let alone shown on CTN. --Cyde 08:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like it could've been episode 12 from GitS:SAC (Tachikoma Runs Away; The Movie Director's Dream – ESCAPE FROM). The 2nd GIG has never aired on CN until now. Atleast, not to my knowledge, or to the knowledge of CN's website.
 * Just like I said, "The 2nd Gig" couldn't possibly have been aired on CN until now because the dub translation wasn't done. It's a chronology issue.  --Cyde 23:58, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It should also be noted that the summaries so far, including those translated from Production IG, do nothing to describe the "personal"/metaphysical thread of the story as played out between Motoko, Kuze, and Gouda. To do so would probably constitute a spoiler.

Am I the only one...
Who LOVED GitS and GitS:SAC but hates Second Gig? Yes, they ditched the Major's bathing suit (Kudos!) but the series still seems unnecessarily dark and a litle too heavy on exposition. Palm_Dogg 04:14, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

YES You Are

 * Am I the only one who's living in France right now, hearing reports come in about riots and tear gas in the square where I went to buy books the day before — and when Dominique de Villepin says "some of the violence had been organized through Internet blogs", am I the only one who thinks "Stand Alone Complex?" Anville 21:36, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I personally find 2nd GIG to be a little better than SAC, since it still has the same amazing and twisting plot (well, more twists this time) but with a little more action too. Plus the background info on some characters is a pretty nice touch. I do agree with ditching the bathing suit though, now the Major actually appears "normal." And what do ou mean by "unnecessarily dark"? It's a little gory and bloody and some scenes, but it's not that bad... (compared to most other anime or media...)

No you're not the only one. So far, 2nd GIG has been a little dissapointing. It's not terribly exiciting to see 70's movies and old bits of history re-done in anime, where the sci-fi aspects are just used as deus-ex-machina reasons for why things are. The 2nd episode, the TAXI DRIVER homage, bothered me in particular.--Armentage

 * Agreed. You can tell the studio only created it because the first one did well. They seemed to only "cut and paste" from other areas, then made it up to look enticing and fresh. They should have taken their own advice and done another remake, putting the cast in another storyline, one that assumed SAC never happened. You can still character develop without weighing them down that way. Eluchil  00:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

She wasn't "offering", she was joking. And they blew Goda away because he was guilty of murder. Just because he had the "right" to go, dosen't mean they should've let him. And it dosen't matter if you get shot one time in the head, or twenty, you're going to be just as dead.

Alternate Timeline Manga/Film confusion? (SPOILERS - all around - SAC, SAC2, GITS movies and manga)
Is there a source for the assertion in "Trivia" that SAC 2nd GIG is an alternate storyline from GITS (the 1st movie)? Or is this what I've surmised -- that the TV series are re-telling of events in the GITA Manga?

IMO the Manga and TV series certainly may be considered "alternate retellings" or "alternate timelines" because of overlapping events. This is also the case with other Anime / Manga series such as Full Metal Alchemist where the Manga expands upon the plot presented in the Anime (ED: to be precise, that the Anime is a condensation of the material in the Manga). However this series and the films follow each other cleanly, as do SAC and SAC 2nd GIG.

As soon as episode 1 of this series there are references to Project 2501 / The Puppet Master in Major Kusanagi's ability to control one of the terrorists: she refers to her victim as a "puppet"; Bato jokes to the team to have their "back-hack blockers up" before the briefing (certainly advisable if Motoko is now the home for the intermingled personalities / memories of both her original self, the puppet master, and the laughing man!).

But the end of 2nd GIG puts us right at the begining of the first GitS film. Even if you disagree I'm going to remove that tag as it cannot be backed up.

 * Actually, the background sounds very similar to the history postulated in the Appleseed Databook by Shirow, including the two world wars before 2029 (WWIII is a nuclear war between U.S. and Soviets; WWIV is a war between the European Commonwealth and U.S. and the Asian Alliance) and the "Japanese Miracle". No word on whether the European forces where lead by the false Christ and the true Christ appearing in China right before a giant meteor strikes. --YoungFreud 19:41, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh, I just realized the date of the 2nd film is 2032 (from the publisher's descirption of Innocence the novel). This corrobberates the trivia fact! The first GitS film takes place in 2029, and the SAC 1 episodes begin April 2030. --KarlThePagan

Actually, the end of SAC 2nd GIG leads to chapter 2 of the manga. From what I can recall, the date was not mentioned in the manga. Personally, I see both movies as seperate from both the manga and SAC. --Sinbios

I think the process of adapting GiTS from comics and movie to TV series is similar to that of X-men movies from comic books. The use of alternate line time offers writing staff greater artistic freedom in developing the TV series. On the other hand, if the story deviates too much from the original, it will loose the flavour of the original. One way to get around this problem is to incorporate and re-interpretate key events, characters (e.g. Decatoncale, Major jumping off the building, Azuma etc.) from the original into a new alternative timeline/narrative structure. --GoogleMonkey 00:52, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, the chronology is just wrong... The manga and the movie (which is based on the manga) starts Section 9 in the year 2029, but SAC 2nd GIG ends at 2031, so the two similar scenes at the beginning of the manga and the end of 2nd GIG is off by 2 years. I'd say it's pretty much agreed SAC is a alternate universe.

Episode 26 fansub is out
Laughing Man Fansubs just finished out the series. Torrent links to all 26 episodes are located at the bottom of that page. Enjoy. --Cyde 06:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Laughing Man does do very good fansubs for GiTS S.A.C. considering Ghost in the Shell is one of the hardest anime to translate into English. The down side is that you have to hunt for AC3 codex to play some of the files. I wouldn't recommend any other fansubs. --GoogleMonkey 00:32, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Huh? You don't have to hunt for anything.  Whenever I need to install AC3 (which is fairly often, because I reinstall Windows regularly and some of my friends aren't tech-savvy), I just Google for "AC3 Filter", download it (it's not terribly big) and install it ... takes five minutes, maximum, and then everything just works.

Character name transliterations
Someone is editing the character names to different transliterations, so I'm saying we just stick with the "official" transliterations and not muddy up the issue by offering multiple versions of the transliteration. The names are Japanese, and any English spelling is just going to be an approximation, so might as well just stick with the best approximation and not muddy the issue by listing multiple approximations. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 22:47, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

We will try to be consistent with spelling. I am not sure whether there is a single "official" spelling convention. Japanese are generally quiet sloppy with transliteration. --GoogleMonkey 00:33, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

By "official" I meant what is used the American company that the anime has been licensed to. Also, these spellings are consistent with Laughing Man Fansubs, the dominant GitS fansubber. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 00:50, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

You mean the official spelling from the Manga Entertainment US GiTS S.A.C. website.

Coincidence?
Is it a coincidence that the Cabinet Intelligence Agency, if abbreviated, comes out to CIA, or was that meant as a slam againt the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency? TomStar81 00:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * That's not a slam at all. Japan does, in fact, have an agency whose name, when translated into English, comes out to be Cabinet Intelligence Agency.  That a phrase in English has the same initials as a phrase in Japanese translated into English doesn't seem notable to me.  Also, I fixed some spelling errors on your part.  --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 01:01, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

The Cabinet Intelligence Agency is modelled after the real Cabinet Information Research Office, a branch of the Japanese Cabinet Secretariat. Here is the website of the real-life counterpart. --GoogleMonkey 01:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Errrr yeah, amend my comment then. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 01:21, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Took out tv-premiere template
Someone put on the tv-premiere template, which looks like this: [the template has been deleted]

I took it off because the series has already premiered and finished its run in Japan. The only thing that's premiering in America is the English dub, which is very unlikely to change any of the details in the article. So I don't think the tag is necessary. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 00:59, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that was me. I was testing of theory of mine and it worked, but before I could remove the templete from the front page I called for dinner. Sorry about that :/ TomStar81 02:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, you spelled "premiere" incorrectly ... you spelled it "premire". I took the liberty of correcting it for you on all occurrences of the mispelling.  --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 02:32, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I can’t spell worth a darn. In all honesty this should have been done in my sandbox, but I couldn’t test the templete there. TomStar81 03:34, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Ep. 2 takes place on Christmas, 2031?
Some anonymous user inserted into the Trivia section that episode 2 takes place on Christmas Eve, 2031. I removed it for now until someone can provide some evidence in favor of this. I just skimmed over the episode and didn't see any obvious Christmas references, though I must admit it's been months since I last saw the episode in its entirety. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 17:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

You have to notice the background graphics behind the newscaster during the TV news programm on channel 33. It says "2031 Channel 33". When Gino is talking about "reset the world" and "tommorow is the day", you can clearly see the wall calendar with the date 25th December circled. There are no signs of Christmas celebration as Japan is not a Christian country. Also, the second season ends with a cherry blossom scene 2032, roughly end of March, begining of April, roughly Easter time.--GoogleMonkey 17:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, I re-added it to the main page. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 19:30, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Time to branch the episode list
I think the episode list has now gotten significantly long it's distracting from the main article and should be moved into its own page. Any objections? --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 19:24, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I was playing with the formating. But it didnt go so well, so I revert it back. I should have tried it with the sandbox. --GoogleMonkey 19:44, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Some questions and comments/finds
What does Kuze mean when he says he'll be the first one to go? does he mean he'll be the first one to ascend to the higher structure he's talking about? but isn't it implied heavily that ghosts can't exist in cyberspace? but then again, we have the exception of tachikomas... 2nd gig really leaves a lot of questions unanswered while still having a definate conclusion...

 * Quite the opposite, I don't think there was any real criticism that a ghost could NOT exist in cyberspace. It just wasn't known if it would work, and there was some doubt on the part of the characters, but nothing was presented that implied it could not be done. At least nothing that I remember. --Smidge204 16:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

btw, did anyone notice the lines Goudo says at the very end with the CIA agent? it's almost word for word from the one at the beginning of the Gits manga... and surprise, they both died...

Also, did anyone notice that 2nd gig was religious references heavy? They range from minor to very obvious, for example, you have Botou holding a cross shaped support beam at the end (don't know what it means, but it's got to be there and in that shape for a reason); then you have Kuze... punctured hand (cruxifiction of Christ)... bringing the refugees to a higher exsistence/structure/salvation?... sacrifice...? and the apple scene (fruit of knowledge.) There are some more that are more hidden, like the white raven, it represents Branwen, the Goddess of regeneration, of course, I have no idea what this means... maybe Kuze isn't dead? and he might return?

 * There is a ton of symbolism in the series, not just the second season. Regarding Kuze, the same thing with the Tachikoma. (Just before their AIs are destroyed, there is a scene showing one labeling a data item "Tachikoma's All Memory" and placing it into the space they created for holding the refugees' ghosts.) --Smidge204 16:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

As for the SAC and movie/manga connection, I don't think there is any, they are just Alternate/Parrelle Universes. If you look, in the manga, Section 9 was form in 2029 and it's the same time in SAC; so that rules out the prequel/sequel theory. But the ending scene of 2nd gig really sparks a lot of questions. It is very similar to the beginning of the book, even the think-tanks look the same. Why?

 * The only connection is that the creators of the series are giving some recognition to the original Manga. Characters, world designs and storylines are all heavily borrowed from the manga, but this does not mean thay are in any way related. --Smidge204 16:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

And lastly, does anyone think the end was rused a little? Most people I talked to think the Major and Kuze relationship was a little rushed or empty.

 * Well they did spend an entire episode to establish that Motoko and Kuze had something of a history, and suggest that they have spent most of their live looking for "something" and feelign lonely/empty without it. I don't know if I would go as far to say it was a relationship, but the attachment between the characters was a long time in the making, chronologically speaking. --Smidge204 16:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah..remember the episode 'Affection' at the end where Motoko said that that girl is looking for the 'first boy she ever liked'? Now you see it concluding that they are hugging one another.

True, I just noticed after watching it over though. Apperantly, Motoko and Kuze direct linked, so they could have all the time to talk, exchange information, and (BIG maybe) fuse/synchronize?... wow, when you look at it this way, Production IG is pretty smart, giving us a agreeable answer while taking no responsibilty (if it's not said they can't ruin it, it's up to us to speculate...)

Where do you exist?
I can't remember what episode something was said that I wanted to contemplate some more. Could someone refresh my memory? It was something about how they said the "ghost" might exist inside the person, the group and then something else, but I can't remember what it was! Thanks if you can remember/bring this up again. I know there was a part where tachikomas refered to the satalite as their "other" place but they said human's had another equivalent which I think they explained later on. -Moocats 13:53, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Refugees?
I read in the article and heard the talk from the minor political characters in the show about the refugees in the city. Where exactly are they in the spectrum of the show, are they just a group with no leader, or are they a metaphor for something else. Ive only seen up to the most recent episode on adult swim. Any information about them and how they relate to the Individual Eleven and clarification would be appreciated.

The refugees' demands for sovereignty are basically used by Gouda and Kuze to achieve their own objectives. They are the catalyst behind the show's main plotline. Feldmarschall 06:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Particularist Eleven and Gouda articles?
I've noticed that a article exists for Laughing Man which was the main case running through 1st Gig. But Articles aren't set up for The Patrticularist Eleven and the Cabinet Intellegence Ministry! Any thought's on creation of the two articles? Empty2005 02:01, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

For what it's worth the official romanization of those two is "Individual Eleven" and "Gohda". In particular, "Paricularist Eleven" seems to be a simple case of a bad translation. -- Cyde Weys 02:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Cyde for the answers!

 * Nota bene. From the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (fourth edition), particularism is defined as the following:
 * Exclusive adherence to, dedication to, or interest in one's own group, party, sect, or nation.
 * A principle of allowing each state in a nation or federation to act independently of the central authority, especially in promoting its own economic interests.
 * Seems like "Particularist" would work here just as well as "Individualist", with "Objectivist" running a close third, ha ha. In one episode, Boma reads a filename off somebody's external memory, which is "Individual 11".  He says the words in English, while the Laughing Man subtitles read "Particularist Eleven".  (I think it's in episode 12.)  Maybe that gives the "individualist" translation more clout, but enough people have seen the Laughing Man fansubs that we should at least provide a redirect.  Anville 15:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

DVD info?
Anyone think bringing info of the volume and box sets into the article aswell for 1st Gig is a good idea? Thanks Empty2005 06:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Genre
As I did with the page on the first season, I've changed the genre from "Cyberpunk" to "Postcyberpunk" as it seems more appropriate. Postcyberpunk even references Ghost in the Shell as an example. Norfenstein 21:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I’ll stand by it but you must keep in mind that ghost in the shell (the comic) came out in the 80s in the heyday of ‘classic’ cyberpunk. The cyberpunk article also list G.I.T.S. use it as an example. So maybe post/cyberpunk is a better term? or just cyber? Anyway post cyberpunk is more of a marketing term, Most post cyberpunk works grow naturally out cyberpunk rather that a movement. To say that it’s a GITS: stand alone complex is post cyber punk de-fatco just because it is more up to date is like looking at the new star war films and saying that they are ‘post Space opera”Joeyjojo 02:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Genre
I saw GITS 1st GIG as a dub but I aw the second one as sub. There's so much going on, it's tough to keep up with things. I've seen it mentioned before that the Japanese approach to storytelling includes a disregard for the importance of every viewer "getting it." They're willing to leave a lot of unanswered questions, unexplained situations, and offloading a lot of work onto the viewer. Personally, I think that sometimes this is a genuine sign of depth but other times it's just a cop-out. Anyway, the point of what I'm getting at here, it'd really be nice to get an explanation of exactly what was supposed to have happened here and some possible theories on the strange stuff depicted.

A couple quesitons:

1. Why was Ghouda so forthcoming to Motoko when she dove into his brain? Would unveiling his plan make it's accomplishment easier? 2. Exactly how is the Particularist virus supposed to work? Is it a simple brain hijack? Is it being more subtle, using psychological principles to infuse the cyberbrain with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, sort of the way drugs can make people suicidal? How does it reproram people? 3. The end of the show was identical to the setup of the original manga. Was this homage or trying to set everything up as a prequel? 4. I've yet to find a decent explanation of how the "ghost" works in GITS. As I've been able to infer, a "ghost" is analagous to a soul, what makes a human being unique from a robot or AI. There is talk of ghost-lines and ghost-hacking and that would involve reaching beyond the cyberbrain interface to mess around with the real person. So, is a cyberbrain a real living human brain encased in a life support mechanism for mounting in a cyberbody? Is it an artificial construct into which a consciousness has been transferred? Are consciousnesses supposed to be transferrable? If human ghosts can be transferred from one device to another, is it possible to only copy them instead? There was mention of ghost-dubbers but no real story on how they worked or what the nature of the dubbed personalities would be like. If the dubbings were inferior to the original, that implies that a consiousness really is transferred and the copying is not like dubbing hard drives but more like pumping fluids from one tank to another. 5. Ghosts are supposed to be capable of existing free-floating within the net? Have they provided any explanation for this?

 * This isn't really the best place to be asking questions about the plot of GITS. The discussion page is mainly for discussing changes that can be made to the article.  You might want try any variety of GITS fansites, or ask your question on rec.arts.anime.misc (a Usenet newsgroup).  --[[Image:Cyde.png]] 23:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Article 9 in 2nd GIG History section
The current article says:

 * Due to a battered economy and weak political position, the American Empire entered a security pact with Japan. The pact prohibits both Japan from deploying its army overseas (Constitution Article 9) and possessing nuclear weapons.

I know that a recent episode has said something about the American Empire allying itself with Japan, but I'm not sure about those prohibitions of the Japanese military being linked to the future American Empire. Too bad I don't have the episode on tape.

Present-day Japan has an article 9 in its constitution that prohibits it from taking offensive military actions against another country. Even the nation's recent participation in UN peacekeeping missions was very controversial. That anti-belligerence clause has existed since just after World War II. That's why Japan's military is called the Japan Self-Defense Forces or JSDF, both in GITS:SAC and in real life.

Could someone please check this? Thanks. --Tachikoma 20:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Little Fact
Did you know that the opening theme was sung in 3 differnt languages: English, Japanese and Russian. I don't why though...

Because the singer, Origa, is a native Russian, and the anime is Japanese. There's English because it's exotic. --Sinbios

Not a fact. There is no Japanese, although it's easy to mistake some of the Russian words for Japanese given the context. The song is entirely in Russian and accented English. 24.6.99.30 17:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Acroynm?
I've looked everywhere and I just can't find what "GiG" stands for, assuming it even stands for something. It kinda annoys me, especially since it's capitalized in a few different ways. You can imagine it's a hard thing to Google for. --FletcherD 05:08, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It's just Gig, from Wikitonary: Any temporary job. -- Ned Scott 09:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Ned Scott has withdwan his proposal for merging this article into the SAC article.

Should I add/remove this to the trivia?
In the 26th episode, (Aka spoilers, haha) there was symbolism with the iron rod being a Cruxifix, and Motoko and Kuze being underground with the apples, Motoko offering Kuze a bite of the apple is definatly symbolism towards the garden of eden.

And there was that whole white crow thing, but that's symbolism that probalby isn't related to religion.

Also, mistakes in the show or like, logical mistakes or whatever, shoudl they be included in Trivia? Stuff like, "If bouma blahblha "

 * I must disagree with putting any of that stuff up. Unless you can substantiate it with actual evidence (the producers or directors or the website says this actually occurred) then it should NOT be put up.  You can't be certain unless some official source says it's true.  Otherwise, it's just speculation.  --Miss Ethereal 14:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with the disagreement. Some of the trivia makes no sense if one thinks about it, particularly the trivia item that suggests that Motoko's outfit resembles that of Izumi Curtis in Full Metal Alchemist: since the two anime are produced by two separate companies, it wouldn't make sense for them to riff off one another.  Usually in-referencing refers to other anime that are produced inhouse.

Mexican War
The history section states: "Saito was a part of one of these armies before joining Section 9" (talking about guerrila wars in South America). This historical "fact" presumably comes from the episode where Saito is playing poker with the rookies. However, we never find out for sure whether his tale is a bluff or not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.135.41.90 (talk • contribs).

 * Agreed, that information is never made clear if it is "fact or fiction", and done so on purpose. I'll take it out if it hasn't already been done so. -- Ned Scott 06:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

It's fact. One of the tachikomas said that at the end of the episode. Anyway, what would be the point of having an entirely fictional episode? This isn't Dallas.

 * There is no way for the tachikoma to know if this was fact, and in any case they were merely confirming that he was not bluffing about the card hand. As for why have a fictional episode? Who knows...there quite a number of meaningless episodes. And false, implanted memories is one of the themes of the series.

There's no way for you to know if they were "merely" confirming he wasn't bluffing about the cards. Anyway, it makes a lot of sense for the story to be true. What would be the point of making up a story to tell during a card game? It makes no sense if Saito just made up the story.

"Who knows...there quite a number of meaningless episodes" Were there? I can think of some random episodes, but they all served to somehow advance the main plot.

Philosophy
Citations for references to Frederic Jameson's vanishing mediator and Gilles Deleuze's superstructure should be made.

What does "GIG" stand for?
It's not supposed to origin from the English word "gig", a music concert, is it? That would be a scary abuse of the English language. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.122.61.173 (talk • contribs).
 * That's what I always assumed it referred to. A more stylish way of saying 2nd season, if you will. --BloodDoll 19:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Aye. Gig, as a slang word, while originally just meaning something like music concert, has expanded in some cases to mean "job". -- Ned Scott 20:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I always thought it was "gig" as in short for gigabyte, to fit the technology theme of the series. - kollision 03:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * a 3-digit selection in a numbers game + a military demerit + a job usually for a specified time especially an entertainer's engagement

Proposed move
Since it doesn't appear that "GIG" stands for anything, I propose that the article be moved to Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig (decapped).--SeizureDog (talk) 07:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Trivia
Please look at history of 22 May 2007. User:Ganryuu was reversing and deleting the trivia focused on Episode 18 after he mistakely reverts a 2nd reference ( Wings of Desire) to Wenders film :

Much of this episode pays homage to the Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire ( originally Der Himmel über Berlin ).

The film was mentionned as an homage by the screenplayer and was added in this page months ( even years ) ago because in is a FACT clearly for anyone watching both the episode and the movie...

Atter four deletions from Ganryuu ( main part of the trivia and than less but again focused on EP 18 and Wings of Desire addition )

I revert to the original state and now I give up ( hard day's night ).

I won't start a war but Ganryuu acts like it is a personal revenge claiming "WP:TRIVIA and Wikipedia:No original research. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or platform for original thought, research and claims."

I'm so sorry if he misunderstood my ironical comments ;-) ( see history

I really don't care about the "incident" but please : Let's talk now before deleting anything or everything Peace --Neuromancien 01:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * You have just made four reverts within the last hour; this is a violation of Three-revert rule, and you can be blocked for over 24-hours because of this.

 * Thanks I am reading it .In fact it was a single addition of the link Wings of Desire to Wim Wenders film reference ( originally Der Himmel über Berlin ).I sign and revert the RV made by User:Ganryuu with the comment "verify before reverting" ( i think he reverts accidentaly my anon contribution ) and it starts a stupid revert war ...

 * What are you talking about? I've already explained why much of the content in the trivia section cannot be included in the article, due to it being original research and moreover, completely unverified and containing speculative content, to top it all off. You haven't even responded to any of these explanations, nor have you given a source or even a single explanation for your reverts.

 * Trivia was added because the simple list of episodes was a copyvio ! The official german name of the episode 18 DVD is named from the film too Episode 18 Himmel über Berlin I'm Zen and please keep cool because you misunderstood my first ironical RV at least and you argue with rules without respect for their spirit ! You just revert the last anon contribution first ( addition of Wings of desire as alternate reference in the trivia of EP 18 : it was mine anyway and so also for the original one Der Himmel über Berlin ) and then after my signed RV you start cleaning the whole section and especialy the mentionned Episode 18 with little variations ! Good Night it is enough for now Keep the good work ;-) --Neuromancien 02:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Again, I have absolutely no idea on what your talking about. Please refrain from false allegations and incivil comments; please remember to always assume good faith. Simply the fact that a German distributor decided to title the episode under a particular title does not prove any connection to the actual "homage" and other speculative claims claimed within the section; again, simply watching a film, noticing its similarities and basing the flux of the content on this assumption is original research, and as such shouldn't be included.

 * As I've said earlier, the fact that it is original research, as you admit yourself, and moreover, unsourced, this cannot be added into the article due to the several of the official policies mentioned at No original research and Verifiability.

 * It is original research and as mentioned in the above policies, must therefore be removed, no matter how long it has been prevalent in the article; this would be perhaps an assessment of the extent of the cleanup this article currently requires and why such original research and speculation be removed from articles, as this is an encyclopedia. ··· 巌流 ? · Talk to Gan ryuu 04:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I've now performed a cleanup of this article, per WP:TRIVIA and moved some of the content from the trivia section to the list of episodes, since they should be cited there, if it is notable, rather than here (see WP:TRIVIA). Interestingly, some of the trivia which I removed from this article yesterday, more specifically the reference to the German film Der Himmel über Berlin, was already present in the list of episodes, so it should have been removed anyway, per WP:TRIVIA. Please do not add trivia to articles, especially when it's already present in another, more suited section. See WP:TRIVIA. ··· 巌流 ? · Talk to Gan ryuu 04:21, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Serious Work Needed!
Hi everyone I read the article on Ghost in the Shell: stand Alone Complex, and was informed as to the nature of the story. I read this article and was not. What is the series about? Why is there no summary of the plot? Where is all the very basic information that ought to be included (who are the major characters? What do they do? And why?)?

This article needs a major rewrite not merely to get it to 'good article' standard, but even to get it to 'useful standard' (or even 'comprehensible standard'). I'd be up for doing it myself, but I haven't seen the series. That is why I came to this article: I was looking for information. I leave without it. This really isn't good enough, not in an encyclopaedia. Anyone care to sort it out (or, alternatively, to have a go at defending the indefensible?) BlackMarlin (talk) 20:41, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Relationship between SAC and SAC: 2nd GIG - possible merger?
There's quite a bit of chatter about the net debating whether 2nd GIG is the second season of the "Stand Alone Complex" series, or a separate "sequel" series. The existence here of separate articles suggests that they are two series and not one, but there are many references in articles here to 2nd GIG as the second season of SAC. I think we need to reach a consensus regarding this: if 2nd GIG is the second season, the logical thing would be to merge the articles. If it's a sequel, then references to 2nd GIG should reflect that. My personal feeling is that they are one series, but there doesn't seem to be a standard for anime series and their "sequels". Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor has its own page, whereas Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino- and Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid, though supported by limited content, are integrated. Thoughts? NJMcLellan (talk) 20:39, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Its a second season. It could be merged however the plot would be extremely long. That and I think wenll need to remove some characters. Its difficult right now. That and I'm still looking for more info on this article. I don't mind merging it now since I haven't found much info separating them such as production and reception.Bread Ninja (talk) 20:49, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree, there would need to be some serious retooling - which I'm happy to get involved with. The story sections could, perhaps, be slimmed down and simplified some (especially considering that the "episodes" articles currently provide very detailed plot descriptions), and the character sections divided into "Principal", "SAC-only" and "2nd GIG-only" characters. It would be good to hear what others think about this... NJMcLellan (talk) 15:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

We shouldn't have sections like that. But I'm still lookin for more info. Well see what wecan do.Lucia Black (talk) 20:12, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough - perhaps, then, it would be reasonable to slim down the characters section to just the principal characters (notable recurring characters are already supported in the List of Ghost in the Shell characters article). NJMcLellan (talk) 21:50, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I think that would work for the best.Lucia Black (talk) 21:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I propose merging this into List of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episodes (there is a fair amount of overlap already). 2601:645:8200:41:3D2E:8C68:4703:94F9 (talk) 07:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

"Characters" section
I didn't want to make any large edits to this section without first flagging the issue up here: I suggest that the "Characters" section be pared down to just the principal cast (see Stand Alone Complex. Currently the significant recurring characters (Goda, Kuze, Proto, Kayabuki, etc) are represented in the List of Ghost in the Shell characters, and I think the other characters (Forensics Team, Female Androids) are providing more detail that is necessary for this article. I think the article would be served better by a slightly more detailed section for principal characters, supported by a link to the "list of GitS characters" article. NJMcLellan (talk) 16:01, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
