[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tali'Zorrah.png
Image:Tali'Zorrah.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Should characters from the book be included?
Such as Dr. Qian, Edan Had'dah and Skarr. --SGCommand (talk • contribs) 14:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- I would advise against. In that case, you might do well to make a separate page for the novelization. If subsequently they appear in the game itself, that would merit their inclusion here. Until such time as that happens, it seems excessive. Michael.A.Anthony 16:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wholesale Copying of Official Galactic Codex Entires
I notice that the entries for both Urdnot Wrex and Ashley Williams are copied and pasted from the official Mass Effect community website. I'm fairly certain this must be against the rules. Could someone verify?Michael.A.Anthony 16:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Donnel Udina as a villain
I've had hands-on time with the game, and Donnel Udina is in no way, shape, or form represented as a villain. Unless this can be backed up with a solid source, it should be immediately removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evan G. Beazley (talk • contribs) 03:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spoilers?
Never actually edited on here before and not sure what the guidelines are, but surely there should be a spoiler warning on both the Benezia and Sovereign entries?
If I'm wrong please correct me, but I'd rather not have known how the game ends in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.147.37 (talk) 11:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. I didn't really need to know about some of the potential deaths of party members, too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brimoral (talk • contribs) 18:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
See WP:SPOILER. If you don't want to be spoiled about things, don't look them up on Wikipedia. Peptuck (talk) 21:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- Disagree. A wikipedia article for the character "Cathy" from Wuthering Heights would obviously mention the fact she dies half way through the book because it's part of her character narative; it's irrelevant whether it spoils the plot or not. Personally, I avoided the Mass Effect page like the plague until after I'd finished the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.90.232.145 (talk) 22:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] keep it unbias
dount put personal theiroes in articles in beneza it says she was ashamed of lira's farther but we dont know for sure this should read like a article not my freind telling me about what he herd off some guy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ralon silver (talk • contribs) 08:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sovereign
"It is unclear whether the entity of Sovereign is the ship itself or a computer that exerts control over the ship." There is never any indication that Sovereign is a computer controlling the ship, everything in the game refers to it as the ship itself, as an artificial life form, an AI like the geth that is big enough to operate like a ship. Mloren (talk) 11:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Everything in the game is speculation by characters and VIs as to the nature of Sovereign and the Reapers. Even the characters themselves admit as much that they don't really know much about the Reapers. Peptuck (talk) 15:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar Correction
Funnily enough, all of the alien race names in this article have been (prior to my sporadic editing) in lower case. Surely, the names of races should be reached as proper nouns; especially if they are treated as such in the game's actual text anyway? Melaisis (talk) 21:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- They aren't capitalized in-game, nor are they capitalized in ME: Revelation. Peptuck (talk) 00:10, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
No no no. This is all wrong. See, I thought this was pretty weird when I started playing, but then I noticed something and I respect the game developers for being the first to do this. Normally in sci-fi we capitalize races; Wookiee, Klingon, etc. because they usually have a single government and are thought of as a nation. But then I noticed, in everyday use we don't write Human or Cat or Dog. Mass Effect is trying to be very realistic in its depiction of a sci-fi universe, and I applaud them for doing this little thing. I request you change everything back to lowercase. 75.41.35.95 (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
