[edit] Age Conflicts with Information of OVA

In the third OVA, Edward Elric is supposed to be celebrating his 100th birthday in 2005. If that is the case, then Edward Elric was born 1905, and therefore Alphonse (whom is younger) couldn't possibly have been born in 1900. Where is the evidence that Al is born in 1900?

Actualy, all the the dates in the article are true. Amestris uses a diffrent calendar then Earth. Edward was born in 1899, not 1905, so Alphonse was born in 1900. The dates in the article are from Amestris' calendar, not earth's. Sanlador, 15:25, July 30, 2007.

[edit] Clean-up

I am disappointed by the quality of this article. There's no section about Alphonse's conception and creation, there's barely any out-universe information, and the page fails to adequately describe the character thanks to a lack of 'Personality' and 'Appearance' sections. Unless if someone does some serious working up on this article, I'm afraid it's gonna stay a Start-class page. End of line. Cat's Tuxedo 16:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

why is Al in the category of "fictional cyborgs"?216.183.143.245 02:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Al-ep51.png

Image:Al-ep51.png 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.
