Talk:Mayl Sakurai

Mistranslation?
The article claims that her original name is "Meiru", but isn't the name supposed to be romanized as "Mayl" (since it's a reference to the word "mail")? "Meiru" sounds like a mistranslation for me. I heard that that's how her name was written in one episode of the anime, but isn't the anime supposed to be unrelated to the games's canon? --189.61.24.194 23:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The Anime is related to the games, its just that the games ain't related to the anime, for its like a sequel. Go Ahead: Change it. :)--Vzing 23:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

What does this mean?
''"In Rockman EXE Beast+ season, she was the second person after MegaMan to revive Lan and she was seen in the last episode hugging Lan at the end." ''How was Maylu the second person after MegaMan to revive Lan? What episode did this happen in?96.244.125.177 03:32, January 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Its probably suppose to be, "In the Rockman EXE Beast+ season, she was the second person after MegaMan to  meet  the revive d  Lan..." Does that sound right; was he "killed" and then revived in Beast+? Haven't seen the show myself. -- Udana 04:06, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but I have seen somewhere that Lan died sometime during the shows run, no idea when.96.244.125.177 17:26, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

.EXE or no .EXE?
Sometimes NetNavis are referred with a .EXE suffix, and sometimes without. This is probably to link to the right page when it's linked, but if we are going to use .EXE shouldn't we be consistent and change it everywhere where NetNavis are referred to?Mcpower (talk) 11:38, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * The .EXE names are used sort of like last names. Technically they all have them, but they don't typically use them in everyday conversation. In general, use .EXE the first time on the page and no suffix upon later uses. For example, see Lan, MegaMan, and Dex's names on this Mayl page. Rdh288 (talk) 19:33, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * ==Rename to Hikari==

Seeing as how Mayl officially married Lan at the end of the BN series, I feel her should page be named “Mayl Hikari”, with a (née Sakurai) at the beginning of her page. Even though the series hasn’t continued past that, she is in fact a Hikari now. TornadoMan.EXE (talk) 05:04, September 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * Mayl Sakurai is not Mayl Hikari in anyway, so no. ― Sief el-Din  ( talk  |  contribs ) 12:46, September 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * Not something we've had to handle here much, huh? Wikipedia typically uses the new names, except when someone is famous by a maiden name or whatever, like Mary Lou Retton. The Marvel wiki typically uses the birth name, like Susan Storm. It does use Luke Cage instead of Carl Lucas. My vote is to leave it the same. Mayl is a Sakurai throughout any media using the fictional character except maybe one sentence at the end of the 6th game. And does even that confirm the name change? Good thought, though. --Rdh288 (talk) 12:55, September 25, 2020 (UTC)

It doesn’t state it outright, but when two people get married the woman usually takes on the man’s surname. I’d say if we don’t change the article name we at least add a note at the beginning of the article and make a redirect. TornadoMan.EXE (talk) 15:36, September 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * That's almost certainly the name she takes, but I would think using a future name of a character instead of the name in the series would just be unnecessarily confusing to site visitors.
 * Yeah, I watched the ending of the game.  The game mentions that they get married and implies they live in Lan's parent's house in ACDC, but it doesn't mention anyone's last name or give us any character art at all.  I also quickly flipped through the end of the Manga and there's no epilogue at all in that one.  Just ends with a battle between preteen Lan and Chaud.  I don't know about the show.
 * A redirect from Mayl Hikari to this page?  Sounds good, the more the merrier with redirects, right?  Any reference to her last name being Hikari in the actual article should probably use a word like "presumable, probably, most likely, etc". I tweaked the one that's already in the article.  Assuming that there's not a reference to the last name somewhere out there. Rdh288 (talk) 21:46, September 25, 2020 (UTC)

The background of her HP in Battle Network 3 is not the "series' main theme"
The trivia section is completely wrong. The sheet music in her HP in BN3 is actually "Fur Elise". See the image attached.

I'm sure the artists just used Fur Elise because it's in the public domain. If you wanted to read maybe "too much" into it, it's probably the piece she is working on. Fur Elise isn't uncommon for beginners to learn (at least the first section).
