Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

I like what I've done with the article so far, although I could use some advice on how to proceed. Spoilers are supposed to be avoided, yet some characters have more than one name or assumed names. So do you mention the Peacecraft name, or leave it alone?

My gut says to keep the main article introductory, and get into details on character-specific entries when things get that far. I'd like some confirmation that this is okay, though. I assume if someone is seeking out detailed info on what happens to a character, they aren't worried about spoilers.

It might breach the spoiler thing, but Episode Zero seems to suggest Heero's previous name was Odin Lowe Jr after his adoptive father. Further, EZ and the Endless Waltz novel both all but confirm Trowa's original name is Triton Bloom and that Catharine is in fact his biological older sister.

Right, I think that stuff is best left for character entries. Some wiki articles frontload information and try to tell you everything, but then its a useful reference for those in the know and not simply a resource for a new reader. And it would be spoilers after a fashion, of course. I'd rather lay layers upon layers, so one can know as little or as much as one wants at their own discretion.

That's probably why the character list on the main article won't be exhaustive, or at least it won't be made that way by me...I can't possibly write who Dorothy is without spoiling later events. Best to make a "list of" entry and make that comprehensive.

Added the following characters: Zechs Merquise, Lucrezia Noin, Treize Khushrenada, Lady Une, Relena Darlian, and Vice Foreign Minister Darlian.

Arguably well beyond "stub" territory now, but if anyone has anything to add do so and we can fill out this thing.

I'd like to make character and episode lists separate from this, but I'm going to wait until we have a decision between "list of X episodes" and "X Episode Guide" entries. Lots of other stuff to work on in the meantime...
