: Other Names:  Ranko Tendou, Osage no Onna ("Pig-Tailed Girl") 

Are those all of his aliases?  I don't think you need to include
those that he only used once (like Yoiko) and these are all I can
remember that are used more often. 


: Important People:  Genma, father; Nodoka, mother; Akane Tendou, Shampoo, 
: Ukyou Kuonji, fiancees; Kodachi Kunou, stalker :-); Tatewaki Kunou, 
: Ryouga Hibiki, Mousse, rivals; Cologne, Happosai, trainers.

I don't think that "trainers" really describes the relation those
last two have to him.  :)


: Group Affiliations:  Team Ranma

Err, that's out of one of the movies, right?  Who was on it?


: Costume:  Generally favors baggy Chinese-style martial artist garb, but 
: will wear female clothing if circumstances warrant.

I'd rather say "if circumstances demand".


: 	When Ranma was sixteen, he and his father were in China, and 
: visited Jyuusenkyo, the Forbidden Training Ground of Cursed Springs.  

Where does the "Forbidden" come from?  I'm not saying it's not
correct, just asking. 


: 	On their way out of China, Ranma accidentally ate Dragon Whisker 
: soup, which caused him to have superfast hair growth in male form unless 
: it was tied off with said whisker.

With *another* whisker.  He ate the first one.


: 	What do you think?  Is this complete enough for a brief entry?  
: (Shampoo's, Ryouga's, etc. entries will have descriptions of their 
: relevant encounters with Ranma, so they're not covered in this text.)

Seems factually correct and fits the format.  A good summary, I'd
say.
