− | LOL. I didn't realize I was the dragon expert. :D :D :D

− | I think what we could do is put a redirect page on, say, [[Tien-Lung]], that goes to [[Celestial]] but also put the tags at the bottom, so it will show up in the dragon breeds section? Let me try with Celestial and you tell me if this is what you wanted. -- [[User:Strangerface|Strangerface]] 11:51, 23 September 2010 (PDT)

− | :::Sweet, the page finally looks right! It makes me wonder, however, if we should also translate the names for the other breeds. It's probably unnecessary, as only the Chinese breeds have been translated in the series this far, but it's still something to consider. [[User:Almaron|Almaron]] 15:56, 23 September 2010 (PDT)

− | :::I meant to do the same for the Japanese dragons, because I think they have a similar naming system to China. Riu is used in both dragon names, and is a spelling variant of Ryu, which means dragon. So if we knew what Sui and Ka mean in this context, it might tell us more about the dragon breed (although we already know that both those names are those of mythological Japanese dragon kings).

− | ::::BTW, don't know if it's any help, but I found this page listing a whole bunch of Dragon myths, which could be used to see if any breeds were based off mythological variants. http://www.theserenedragon.net/dragonschart.html [[User:Almaron|Almaron]] 16:11, 23 September 2010 (PDT)

− | :::I don't see any need to translate the names for the breeds that are always referred to consistently in the books? Like the Spanish and French dragons' names are never translated into English the way the Chinese seem to be. Though, certainly, if there were instances when the characters called a "Fleur de Nuit" a "Night Flower" then it might be useful? But I can't think of any other instances where there are two names. -- [[User:Strangerface|Strangerface]] 19:07, 23 September 2010 (PDT)
