Maybe I am wrong, but shouldn't model and type be reversed in the infobox? <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 22:04, July 28, 2011 (UTC)- Actually, yeah. I totally had them wrong. Fixed, and thanks for noticing my blunder. Menkooroo 07:43, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Admittedly, I'm not to their part of the comic series yet, but is it fair to describe the Nagai as "warfaring"? I know they waged a war or wars, but does this describe them on a social or cultural level? If the OS's say so, that's fine, but just asking.- The Gamer articles doesn't explicitly use the word "warfaring," but it does describe them as a species of warriors who like to kill and wage war.
These things don't appear in the comics? ~Savage 15:23, August 2, 2011 (UTC)- Nein. The comics show them throwing Tehk'la blades, but Swiftcut foils and longswords were introduced in the Gamer article, which was the first source to give detailed info on the Nagai as a species. Also, a note that the OS explicitly says "Many customs of daily life involve exercises with Swiftcut foils..." --- as such, I tweaked your tweak to reflect that they're used in many but not necessarily all fighting exercises. Let me know what ya think. Menkooroo 15:36, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
- OK, that works. It's just been drilled into me to avoid vague terms of quantity (many, a number of, lots of, etc.). The difference between "a number of fighting exercises" and "fighting exercises" is not much, since the latter is not asserting all fighting exercises. But I admit it's a subjective decision whether to use such terms. ~Savage 15:52, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

- The source capitalizes Swiftcut and Tehk'la, but not longsword. Menkooroo 01:37, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
