[edit] Style notes
Hi. Just wanted to let you know that any math notation should be italic, so instead of a plain
- K
one should use instead either
- <math>K</math>
or otherwise the html equivalent
- ''K''
Also, it is good to use an edit summary when you contribute, as suggested above. It does help understand what you changed. Thanks, and enjoy the wiki. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:21, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List of Prison Break episodes
You recently added two future episode titles and summaries to the list. Please note that this information can only be added when it is supported by a verifiable and reliable source. TV.com is not considered as a reliable source as it is user-submitted. The only source that is considered valid is the press release by FOX, which will also be published by the media like TV Guide. Thus, your entries have been removed. Regards, Ladida 22:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry deleting your edits indicating "nonsense info". The reason is written by Ladida above. -- Magioladitis 02:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fin Del Camino
Hey. I've reverted your move from Fin Del Camino to Fin del Camino as the title that is shown on the press release is actually "Fin Del Camino". Regards, Ladida 09:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Captain Murphy (TV series)
You have tagged Captain Murphy (TV series) with {{rfd}}, but you have not completed the nomination by listing it at WP:RFD. RFD nominations are a two step process. Please complete the second step on the nomination instructions. If you do not list it within a reasonable amount of time, I will assume you no longer wish it deleted and remove the tag. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 03:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FMA Episodes
How exactly do those meet the guideline? Episodes must contain out of universe material (reception and development, not directors) backed by secondary sources (these have none). Plot summaries cannot be the only content on the page; an episode has to have pretty much all the things outlined on the guideline. TTN 10:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- As I stated, you cannot just take a couple of those. They need plot summaries along with reception and development. You cannot pick and choose. You also need verifiable info from secondary sources before the articles are even created. TTN 17:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- I just picked an episode at random (Death (Fullmetal Alchemist)), one that you reverted TTN's redirect. Your edit summary said "there is no violation of WP:EP". Well, not only do they not come close to the guidelines set forth by WP:EPISODE, but they are clear violation of copyrights. The screenshot, and the plot, are both non-free, and thus must provide a fair-use rationale for their existence. When it comes to images, FU rationales are on the image page (which the image has, but does not fulfill). For plot summaries, you need realworld context on the page to justify their use. That means production information, or reception information, or something that isn't "in-universe". This page has nothing but a plot (one that is overly long at that), thus it not only doesn't meet the criteria for an episode article, but it meets the criteria to considered a copyright violation. Remember, all shows are copyrighted by their networks, as the only reason we are allowed to give any kind of detail is because we are supposed to be provided critical commentary on the subject. This isn't IMDb, or TV.com, this is an encyclopedia. The only way we can justify encyclopedic fair use is to provide critical commentary, which goes for the image as well. Just putting a generic fair use rationale on the image isn't enough. There needs to be critical commentary in the article to justify needing an image to illustrate something. This is why all those images were pulled from the "list of episodes" articles. Because do not justify image use, and detailed plots (like what is in the article that I linked) can cause legal problems. And studios have successfully sued over this type of infringement. Being a "non-profit" business doesn't exclude us from lawsuits and copyright infringements, especially when we don't provide a justifiable reason for their use. Wikipedia isn't a substitution for watching an episode, a film, or reading a book. I saw your comment to TTN, and yes, plot summaries should be included..but to add context to the real world information. Plot summaries should never be their own articles.

- Thought I'd let you know those discussions were closed. Determing if a page needs to be merge is not a place for the incident board. TTN's behavior is, but not his actions themselves. The discussion is on the talk page of the list of episodes. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fullmetal Alchemist Episodes
You've recently posted this on my talk page: "There is nothing at Wikipedia:Television episodes to justify your redirecting all of them to List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes. In fact, according to the Content section of that article, a plot summary and information on an episode's significance to the overall plot SHOULD be included in the article. If you feel that the articles contained too much plot summary as to be a violation of Wikipedia's fair use policies then you should have simply cut down those parts of the articles. Furthermore, next time kindly discuss such radical changes before taking them. As a result, I am restoring all the articles. If you wish to discuss this further, reply at my talk page. However, until then please do not redirect the articles again. Thanks for your understanding. Fullmetal2887 05:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)"
What are you talking about!? The only change I've EVER made to ANY Full Metal Alchemist page was a grammar correction in the trivia section in To Challenge The Sun! You say I've redirected all the Fullmetal Alchemist pages and done major edits to plot summaries? If you look on my contribution page, or the history page for Fullmetal Alchemist, you'll see IT WASN'T ME. Either that, or someone else has used my name for their edits, and whatever you're babbling about wasn't me. Check my contributions page for proof! Never point the finger blaming people for things that they haven't done. I've stated and proved my innocence, so I accept your apology. User:King Wagga 15:54 2007 GMT
- See, told ya it wasn't me. Apology accepted dude. User:King Wagga 18:09 2007 GMT

- You should please add your side of things to the following discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Mass_deletion_of_television_articles_by_TTN --164.107.222.23 23:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Fullmetal Alchemist s01e26.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Fullmetal Alchemist s01e26.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your user page
Greetings White Cat! I'm currently revamping my user page and I like yours so much that I'd like to use it as a model for mine (format, etc.). I thought I should ask your permission before doing so. Please let me know if this is all right with you. Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 02:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Feel free to! It's licensed under a free license after all! :) -- Cat chi? 06:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Characters in Metalocalypse
Just to get to the brass tacks of the issue: 1) what "naming standards" say that the article must start with "List of", and 2) why have you not discussed this on the talk page prior to either move? -- Y|yukichigai (ramble argue check) 08:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes
You have made many edits at List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes which is under discussion at WP:FLRC.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
Vandalism is against Wikipedia's policies. If you continue to vandalize articles as you did with Duke Blue Devils men's basketball, you will be reported to administrators and subsequently blocked from the site.

- Psycho T wasn't vandalism, that's his nickname. If you don't even follow the sport then stop whining. DP08 (talk) 03:51, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

- I undid that edit when I realized my mistake. That doesn't change the fact that you vandalized Duke Blue Devils men's basketball. And far from whining, I am being a good Wikipedian by reverting vandalism when I see it and giving due warning to the offender. Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 04:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
