Spelling[]

The real life group is called Aum Shinrikyo - can anyone with the Head Shot tell whether it's misspelled in the book or has just been copied wrongly onto this site? Ta!--Acer4666 14:05, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

It's Aum Shunrikyo in the book. --William 14:34, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
Ah, thank you for checking it out! It seems to be spelled Shunrikyo on some other places on the internet, so perhaps it's an alternative westernisation of the word--Acer4666 14:37, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
Check this out. Since the name was revealed in the show,should we move this page to the proper name? I mean, shinri means the truth in japanese, while shunri doesn't mean anything. The westernisation is just a mistake.
Also it was mentioned as Aum Supreme Truth Cult in Hell Gate. What should be the most proper name for this page?
And about the names in the file. They are all most wanted terrorists. Should we make pages for them (just surname)? --William 15:33, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

I'm only finding 1 mention of this group inside Hell Gate. How many times is it referred to in Head Shot? (I can't tell because amazon search doesn't seem to be possible for Head Shot.) I'm leaning toward the full English translation found in Hell Gate at the moment, but I still want to know how many times it's mentioned in HS with that alternate spelling.

Just one mention in head shot - a quick referenced in passing. Page 94,
“Somebody was worried about Lobo enough to have him killed by a team of assassins. Cultists and CW isn’t so much of a stretch, either. Look at the Aum Shunrikyo doomsday cult that set off sarin nerve gas bombs in the Tokyo subways some years ago.”--Acer4666 (talk) 00:39, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
Okay in that case either the TV show spelling or the full English from Hell Gate. Blue Rook  talk  contribs 01:37, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
I went with the TV show over the novel for the title of the page, as that's how wikipedia has them listed and stuff.--Acer4666 (talk) 19:37, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
