Untitled edit

Jet Fire P1 is also called Ashura P1 or even Ashler P1 in some translations. I tried to make the translation issue clear at the beginning of the section. The same applies to brothers S1/S2, who are called brothers Blazas S1 & S2 in other translations. --Mikaine 01:59, 2 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Missing Monster edit

Isn't there one entry missing? I'm positive there were two monsters in episode 91, one of which is shown. Gladrius 03:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Indeed - Saiga O3. Added the entry and will add the pic soon. --Mikaine 15:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

copyrighted images in the gallery edit

I believe that the gallery of images of mechanical beasts is useful, and falls under fair use since all of the images are attributed and are not used in an infringing manner. They should stay unless someone can add to this discussion explaining how they violate copyright. Luvcraft 16:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please see the Wikipedia fair-use policy, in particular the third and eighth points, which say, "The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible" and "The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose." Galleries of unfree images have generally been determined to fall afoul of these points of the policy, because they are simply collections of unfree images that are not used to illustrate specific points within the text. There is no textual criticism, commentary, or analysis of these images. Wikipedia is not a repository of images, and is especially not a place for a collection of over a hundred unfree images such as the gallery in this article. —Bkell (talk) 06:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Then I suggest one or both of the following: 1) Adding technical information to go with the pictures given. 2) Do so only for machines directly referenced in other Wikipedia articles or that have had multiple or iconic appearances in the series. -- Majin Gojira 01:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
