Talk:Fullmetal Alchemist

Can anyone help me to edit the Fullmetal Alchemist page? While both of the animes fictionalized the weapons most of the characters use, the original manga used plenty of real world guns from the era the story is set in. These include the 1911 pistol, webley revolvers, mosin nagant rifles and the Colt Pocket just to name a few. I can provide most of the firearm information but I have very few skills with wikipedia formats.

1) Sign your posts (it's the second-to-last button above the edit window).

2) We don't do anime series where none of the weapons are real-world designs (although we do have several that have both real and fictional weapons such as Gundam 00 and Starship Operators), and we have a strict No Comics / Manga policy. Unless you can provide screencaps of a real-world design appearing in the show, it won't get a pass. Please read the Rules, Standards and Principles.

3) We already have a page for the remake, although it desperately needs work, primary more (DVD-quality) screencaps. Screencaps can be uploaded using the "Upload File" option in the left-hand menu. DO NOT hotlink to other sites for screencaps.

4) There are plenty of tutorials out there on how to use wikia formatting, and it's fairly easy to use a well-designed page as a template so that you have something to go on. If you create a page and put genuine effort into it, it's not uncommon for other, more experienced users to come in behind you and tweak it some. However, asking someone else to take the time to do it for you instead of learning how to do it is lazy.

Never mind I read the rules about non-moving media. I think it's a shame, being a graphic novel enthusiast as well as having a strong interest and a good affinity for identifying weapons. Still I don't own the website so I'll concede without arguing.
