[edit] Sections, please!

This article is a big ugly list of stories and movies, and it seriously needs revision into sections with actual content and history. I may be able to get to this soon, but if someone else is motivated, please write! —ZorkFox 03:45, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Correction

Moving Mars was incorrectly listed as being published in 1973. I corrected the date to 1993 and moved it to the appropriate place chronologically. —jonnygoldstein 16:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Flash gordoncomic.jpg

Image:Flash gordoncomic.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 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] transformers

can we add something related to Transformers the 2007 movie?? watched that scene?

[edit] santa on mars

santa claus conquers the martians- one of the worst films ever. Despite the fact that I am laughing uncotrollably, isnt "one of the worst films ever" uncyclopaedic?? Of course I cant do a movie review because havent seen it. P.S. tell NASA the santa can transport their new mars probe :-) T.Neo 16:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stranger in a Strange Land

Perhaps the most read book of Martians after War of the Worlds, missing... please add it, thanks. ---Ransom (--71.4.51.150 (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Aria

This page needs a reference to the paper manga and animes series / OAV "Aria" (Aria the animation, Aria the Natural, Aria the Origination, Arietta). Takes place in a future where Mars has been terraformed and mainly flooded , and focuses on slices of life of a young gondola rower in a rebuild venice. --212.27.60.48 (talk) 19:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
