The two references to "Mission to Mars" are confusing; are they the same movie? Did the movie directly reference Cydonia or not? They should be merged.
[edit] Media Usage
I think it is important to have a section dedicated to Cydonia in media. I can think of a few examples: (Mission to Mars and Battle of the Planets (Invader Zim) and Where the Buggalo Roam (Futurama). If someone can start the section and add these and others to it that would be great. 71.225.125.176 13:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC) -Stexe
[edit] Merge proposal
It is proposed to merge The Face on Mars into Cydonia as both are essentially duplicates, and the former article gives undue weight to the crackpottery of Richard Hoagland. Dr Zak 23:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Agree. Merge them! ^_^--Havermayer 17:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. There is too much duplication. MrStonky 02:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New picture by Mars Express
Folks,
There is a new pic by Mars Express here (in Portuguese) --Pinnecco 10:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

- Not that simple. Look around. Very few ESA images on Wikipedia, for reasons I can't fully comprehend. Those that are here could be deleted any moment. Besides, the older image for MGS is (somewhat ironically) several times higher resolution. No need to add anything. Mars Express is really a step back, now that I think about it. --Planetary 06:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ayp. "Free for non-commercial use" licenced pics are deleted, and there's no way to use {{fairusein}} or like. Perhaps the pics would fare better if there was a licence tag that explained the ESA policy, but even that might clash with our policies. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- I never understood that. If somone gives us permission to use their image after May 19 2005, we can't use it? Seriously, what the hell?--Planetary 17:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has to be forkable. That means our content has to be redistributable by others, whether they're profit or nonprofit. Permission specifically for wikipedia doesn't help. —ptk✰fgs 02:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- What about fair use? Could that apply to ESA images? --Planetary 20:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
