So, the person who added all the double angle brackets: may I ask why that was done? I assume, based on what you put in brackets that it was to italicize those things, but there are a few usage issues with what you've put there RE: how italics are used. Anyway, I let me know if that's actually why you put those there, and I'll incorporate the appropriate parts into what I'm doing. TheWonko 22:05, 30 May 2012 (CDT)

The adding of the << >> was done to indicate terminology usage. If you look at the edit history for Volume 2 Chapter 3 you should see that for mobile suit names, ship names and colony names, Teh_Ping had put their names in between << >>. I thought this was done to indicate terminology usage like in the Sword Art Online project which uses « » for any place names, terminology etc. Really I should have used « » like the SAO project but I couldn't figure out how to type those so instead I used << >> instead like Teh_Ping did for Volume 2 Chapter 3. So the edits to Unicorn adding << >> was done to indicate terminology, as I thought it was the standard way to denote project specific terminology. You can remove them if you want.

Ah, I see. I know that Japanese does use indicate terminology usage like that, but it makes the English awkward to read. There are ways to indicate jargon and terminology usage in English, and I I'll probably end up using them more in my second pass edit. TheWonko 20:03, 2 June 2012 (CDT)
