[edit] FMP Overload

Should this include Full Metal Panic Overload? Saetch 00:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think it should. The main article mentions it briefly, but if we can find the appropriate information, then I don't see why it shouldn't be here. UnfriendlyFire 01:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Full Metal Panic Fumoffu episode list

I'm planning on using the Template:Japanese episode list, but two episode titles in one entry doesn't format really well. Would splitting up the episodes into 1a and 1b work? UnfriendlyFire 04:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] screenshots

I do not believe the screenshots are given permission by copyright holders to be posted online with wikiepedia. Removed until permission is granted. Akatombo 14:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

You would be right that I do not have permission from the copyright owners to post these screenshots like most images on Wikipedia. However, these images were uploaded under the fair use law. I applied WP:FU and WP:FUC as best as I could in the image pages. I used featured lists such as List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes and List of RahXephon media as a guideline. Please notes that these images aren't random screenshots as I tried to select images the provide the best visual context to the summaries written and why they apply in the fair use claims.

I don't claim to be an expert in copyright or fair use law. Please explain how these images are different than those in the featured lists mentioned above or any other article with fair use images for that matter and explain where I am deficient in the my fair use claims. Until Wikipedia estalbishes a unilateral policy to ban copyrighted images, I don't see why these images should be singled out among the images under fair use in the 1000s of articles in Wikipedia. UnfriendlyFire 05:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It is my opinion that "Everyone else it doing it" is not an excuse to use copyrighted images. It would be more proactive to contact the copyright owners and gain permission to use the images, than to argue the legality of its usage. The article at Fair_use shows that these screen shots are only marginal with the four factors test. Thousands of other articles or not, it does not change the basic fact that the images have a copyright holder, and I am wary of using images that have not been released into the public domain. I believe it is unprofessional, and unfitting for encyclopedia writing. Until there is an argument other than "Everyone else is doing it, why not here?", I remain unimpressed and unconvinced that the screen shots are of significant value to the article.

Now for a personal opinion. Wikipedeia isn't intended to be a episode guide of every single anime, ever. I believe episode synopsis' should not be placed within Wikipedia. The existing synopsis is brief enough that I am not going to undo it on my personal opinion. As far as images go, portraits may make it easier to identify a certain character. In contrast, episode screen shots do nothing but to satisfy fan desire to see their favored show better represented. I believe to be unnecessary, loud, and terribly immature. If a person wishes to produce a detailed episode guide with screenshots, it should be hosted on a private site, or a specialized anime wiki. As much as I like the show, I don't believe Wikipedia should be the venue to be image spammed by fans. It isn't the place. Akatombo 22:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TSR summaries

I'm not sure what the thoughts were on keeping the episode guide, but it seems like most series on wiki have an episode guide. Anyway, assuming that it's to be kept, the summaries for The Second Raid episodes are badly written and incomplete, it would help if they could be redone to match the first season. 121.45.189.3 05:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tokyopop novel release dates

The list of FMP novels all show release dates for the upcoming English translations by Tokyopop. However, the release dates seem unrealistic, and on top of that the supposed sources (which should verify these dates) at the Tokyopop website don't seem to exist. Awaiting the presentation of a proper source, the dates have been removed for now. If an authorized source contains other release dates, this page should be altered to show the information given by that new source. Jelco.galactaboy 13:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

As of July 15th, 2007 (the day I updated the release dates) those source pages did exist. Tokyopop has obviously taken those pages down since then (likely because those dates were tentative and not meant for public eyes) but other sites, such as Amazon.com, still list a matching release date for the 2nd book. I believe there was also a site that listed a release for the 3rd book but I'll have to do some searching to find it. Bbobjs 02:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

The third USA novel release date was posted a few days ago without a source. I added an Amazon.com page including this information to solve the problem. Please include the source yourself next time you update a page. Jelco.galactaboy 15:22, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Full Metal Panic Fumoffu! OST.jpg

Image:Full Metal Panic Fumoffu! OST.jpg 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
