Talk:Sophitia Alexandra

Gameplay

Okay, this is pretty much just like the old character analysis section from before. I'm removing these for the same reason people from before deleted the character analysis section. If you want to find out why, check out Taki's and Kilik's talk pages. If people want a strategy guide, they should go to fansites. Mythmonster2 (talk) 06:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I understand your reason, but not directly to fansites but some other reference aside from those, I guess? And just a question since you're removing unnecessary things, do you also think the "Destined Battle" part on the "Trivia" section of SC characters must be removed?--Logicartery (talk) 15:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Destined battle should be included, just not under trivia.--Sanji_1990 (talk) 14:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Weapons

shouldn't people also mention her shield as well as her sword.--Sanji_1990 (talk) 14:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Sophitia needs some serious writing

OK there is a whole lot writing that needs to be done on Sophitia because there is hardly any info one her profile! Someone please fix this —Preceding unsigned comment added by Android 18 lover (talk • contribs) 18:32, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

In video games

Sophitia's in-video-games section is lacking. I put in some information about her role in Soulcalibur 3 and 4, but someone else needs to do 2 and 1, and maybe a little about her role in the first game, Soul Edge. And it would be really nice if we could find anything on gameplay. Thanks, Swiftink (talk) 23:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

This is missing lots of information. Someone needs to seriously help out. Thank you! DEIDRA C. (talk) 18:12, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

"Sexualized Portrayal"

Aren't almost all the soulcalibur girls "often noted for their sexualized portrayal in the series", why are we singling out Sophitia? Ivy is 100x more sexualised and a bigger sex symbol yet very little to almost nothing about that on her wiki? Taki in skin-tight-camel-toe-bazooka-boob showing one piece outfit + the rest of them wearing almost nothing but they aren't sexualized like Sophitia apparently? Clarify please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.243.2 (talk) 03:28, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Reviewer: Cukie Gherkin (talk · contribs) 00:48, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):

   b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a. (reference section):

   b. (citations to reliable sources):

   c. (OR):

   d. (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a. (major aspects):

   b. (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

   b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/fail:

(Criteria marked are unassessed)

Lead

1. Should have some more info on development
2. Xiphos is only in the infobox
3. Athens, Greece is only in the infbox
4. Aya Takemura is only in the infobox
5. Her voice actresses is only in the infobox

Conception and design

1. Like with Voldo, should clarify that it's not unique that she was worked on solely by one team
2. "for male fans. It would also be a terrible change" this is a little confusing; it sounds like they're saying it didn't happen.
   1. I think I addressed everything, how's that?

The changes to the stuff I listed looks good. I got some more now:

1. Unsure about how RS is done with merch; would it be reasonable to have only merch cited by an RS? Also, is souledge.jp reliable?
   1. That's honestly the best source I have for the merch sadly, a lot of times it isn't covered. SoulEdge.jp however was Namco's own website for the game before they took it down.
2. Reception should be paraphrased somewhat more
   1. Fixed I think?
3. The voice actresses aren't mentioned in the article; is there no info regarding their performances?
   1. Should be fixed now.
4. Infobox image looks a bit scuffed, and the rationale could be improved a bit.
   1. Replaced and redid rationale.

Looks good.
